--AN) Sorry all, still sick, so only an extra long chapter today for this novel. Also, this novel along with Kana will now be released at 6pm EST.--
I was quite confused as to why I was only now suddenly getting a notification for this. But when I thought about it maybe this was because I had yet to feed, and the system needed me to be out of a blood frenzied state. With this thought in mind, I looked at my new skills.
The first on the list was a passive skill called Blood Frenzy, which was one of the things I had expected when I thought of a blood sucking race. It only activated when I did not feed. If I went a long time without drinking blood, I would basically attack anyone and everyone and suck them dry without a care until I was full. Luckily I did not do that to Diablo. I guess fighting against the ancient will has given me some resistance to this passive.
The second skill I got was blood manipulation. This skill allowed me to cut my finger and transform my blood into a weapon. It was very handy because I could make it do many different things. And since it was max out at level 10, I could even control other people's blood. And what made this a frightening skill was that it was an innate skill, just like the others, it did not require a magic circle. Which meant no one would see it coming.
There were three more skills as well. But two were only at level 1. Shadow Meld and Shadow Clone. Shadow Meld allowed me to meld into the shadows. Basically, I could jump inside someone's shadow, and they would never even know I was there. It was a kind of assassination style skill. Not really something I would use, at least I do not think.
As for the other level 1 skill called Shadow Clone, it was a skill that made a copy of myself that I could control. A kind of golem that had ten percent of my power at level 1. The thing about these two skills is that I need to use them in order to level them up to master them. Sadly there was no way to pump skill points into them like I could the other skills since they did not appear in my skill section.
The last one was just a passive called Blood Enhance. It gave me experience per second based on the level of the person I was feeding off of. Which meant those of lower levels would only give me 1xp per second. Diablo gave me +10 experience, which was not bad. I guess Diablo would be getting sucked once a day now. I feel kind of bad, but I need those delicious xp, and sucking Diablo's neck also felt well…. Hehe….
Anyway, what I should be concerned about is this charm and making sure I feed on time. While I am now considered a demigod, I guess there was one thing that stuck out to me that made me frown. "To evolve into a Darkani Goddess, I will need to find 1000 evolution cores. Which means defeating 1000 dungeons. But does every run in a dungeon have an evolution core?" I pursed my lips as I thought about this. I will have to run the stupid bee dungeon a few times with Diablo to check after I set up a binding ward.
"Faith you in?" I heard a voice coming from behind me. I turned to see Sophie standing there.
"Something wrong?" I asked as I closed my menu and flipped over, then got into a sitting position. Sophie shook her head as she walked over to me and climbed onto my bed, and hugged me, resting her head in my lap.
"I was just worried when we got the broken message from you," Sophie replied. "I got the message while we were working things out for the wedding. But it was too broken to make out. We were all worried, but luckily Iena got a message from Diablo."
"Ah…. Sorry…." I reached down and scratched the soft ears. This caused Sophie's tail to wag back and forth. I chuckled as I reached down and played with her tail causing her to giggle. And before I knew it, I was tackled to the bed, with her lips on mine.
An hour later, Sophie and I got redressed and went downstairs to see how things were going. I looked at the other two girls, who both had strange expressions on their faces, and asked: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing!" "Nothing at all, Master…." The two girls responded at the same time.
"They are mad because they lost rock paper scissors," Sophie explained. I chuckled and gave both a kiss on the lips before sitting down between them.
"So, what are you two doing?" I asked.
"We are finalizing the details on something special. Also, our wedding night will be split into two nights. We talked with Diablo, and he agreed to it. Us girls will have you the first night, while you and Diablo will have the second night. Also, Faith, when do you plan to have little Faiths?" Adel asked.
I pursed my lips. I could feel my cheeks heating up and was starting to think it was wrong for me to sit here. But…. I had a way to change the conversation around: "Are you three not going to comment on my new dead look?"
"Hmmm? Faith is always cute no matter what she looks like." Adel replied with a smile.
"Master, I should say that to you…." Grace's voice entered my ears. I turned to see Grace now looked even paler than before, and she had a set of fangs. "Grace!? What happened!?"
"Master, I am bound to you by blood. So if your blood changes, so will mine…." Grace replied. I could see two sharp fangs in Grace's mouth now, which made me furrow my brow.
"Grace, have you drank blood?" I asked.
"No…. Master, I actually need you to give me some, or I might faint…." Grace replied as she began to sway back and forth. I quickly ran over to her and pulled my hair back. "Grace, drink now!"
"Faith, what is going on!?" The other girls stood up and came over. At that same time, Grace opened her mouth and bit into my neck, and began drinking my blood. I bit my lip due to the sensation I was getting as I allowed her to drink as much as she wanted. Luckily it seemed Grace did not need as much blood as me, and for some reason, I did not feel as if my blood was taken at all.
Breathing a sigh of relief, I watched as Grace licked her lips and bowed her head to me. "Thank you, Master. But please warn me before you change bloodlines again…."
"Sorry, Grace, I never thought…." I reached up and patted her head.
"Ahem… Faith care to explain?" Adel asked as she and the other girls looked at me in confusion.
"Ah yeah… I evolved again. I am now what is called a Drakani Demigoddess. It is just that…. While it is a dragon race mixed with other races, there is a secondary bloodline mixed in that is also very powerful, which is called the Vampri. It's a race that needs to drink blood to survive. In order words…. I am no longer a dragonic." I explained.
"Then your other bloodline? The ancient will?" Iena asked with a look of hope on her face. But I shook my head and answered: "It's still there. I feel it. It's just not showing its head. If I want to use it as I have before, I still can."
I had also hoped the bloodline change would have fixed my current state, but it might have put me in a different situation. Like… If I were in a blood frenzy, would the ancient will try to take control while I was at my weakest point? If so, I might not be able to regain control. Currently, I am trying to accept it and slowly merge it into my current personality without losing myself, but even this is quite hard.
"I see, so you need to drink blood like Grace just did?" Sophie asked.
I nodded and answered: "Yes, but luckily, after drinking Diablo's blood, I found that rewind can keep anyone I drink blood from feeling weak or sick. Otherwise, I am afraid Diablo might not have made it back. But it also allows me to do many other new things as well. Like I can now open a tear in space to any place I have been before. I can hide in a shadow or an object, or a person. I can even make a clone of myself. And I can also control blood. Yours or mine. But I think the biggest thing is that I get experience for sucking blood. Lastly, there is charm, which is an annoying skill. "
"That sounds a bit bloody…." Adel replied while sticking her tongue out. She then walked over to me and produced her neck to me, and said: "Take a taste and see if I am sweeter tasting than Diablo."
