Vampire Overlord System in the Apocalypse

-----

As Noah's group enjoyed breakfast, Noah decided to absorb the Attribute Value Cores and Ability Cores.

Due to their memories being not so detailed about who defeated who, Noah simply decided to distribute things mildly evenly, although it was more than enough for everyone to max two stats to 300 and reach C-Rank.

Alongside the Attribute Cores he grabbed which were enough for him to max all of his attributes to 300, there was also a large number of Ability Cores, now reaching dozens.

Just how many monsters did they defeat?

This is what Arthur wondered each time he glanced at the ridiculous amount of items they acquired.

However, not all Ability Cores were D-Rank, as many were also E-Rank…

In the end, Noah still grabbed a nice quantity of them for himself, getting 6 D-Rank Ability Cores and 6 E-Rank Ability Cores, leaving the rest to be distributed to his subordinates, of course, although the difference between him and the rest was only of 1-2 Cores and not anymore, he did not like to grab everything for himself and constantly encouraged his subordinates to grow stronger.

Also, what some feared did not happen as Iris did not receive extra rewards for being Noah's consort, she was happy to share as well, and was not greedy at all herself, distributing everything evenly.

"C-Rank… at last… One step before B-Rank! Although it is not like all our problems will be resolved by simply being B-Rank… But still, it is a good goal to look forward to for now. Of course, I am not stopping there. Even if I ever reach SSS-Rank, I will try to strive even further, and perhaps even go to the world of Vampires…" thought Noah, planning things for a very far future as he absorbed the Attribute Value Cores.

Flash!

As the many spheres turned into energy, Noah began to refine all the power into his body, letting it all flow into his Blood Core, bones, muscles, nerves, blood vessels, organs, and more.

The feeling was of an even greater exhilaration and excitement, something that almost gave Noah a feeling of ecstasy.

This was the feeling of absorbing so many C-Rank Cores!

It was… impressive!

In fact, it was blowing him off!

Noah felt the exhilaration continue more and more, as he finally settled down after having used the techniques and meditation he had learned to make the energy from the Cores run more smoothly through his body.

Noah then felt his Blood Core and Soul resonate with the energy, as he glanced at his Attribute Panel.

[The [Blood Flow Acceleration: 100 (C)] Skill and the [Blood Sacrifice: 100 (C)] Skill have merged and awakened into the [Sacrificial Vampiric Veracity: 1 (B)] Skill]

[The [Blood Retribution: 100 (C)] Skill has awakened into the [Lifeblood Release: 1 (B)] Skill]

However, before Noah could see his Attribute Panel, he was pestered with two new System Windows, showing him that his Skills had awakened after reaching max proficiency.

Two skills had merged into one unexpectedly, becoming the Sacrificial Vampiric Veracity Skill, which granted Noah the enhanced effects of these two Skills combined.

By accelerating his blood and at the same time sacrificing it, he would receive a substantial boost to all of his stats, alongside this, his resistance to the elements would increase, and his defenses would increase instead of dampening.

And the next Skill, Lifeblood Release was the perfect combination with this Skill, giving Noah the power to release his lifeblood and increase his speed, senses, and strength alongside his damage dealt based on how much vitality has he lost using the previous Skill.

With this, Noah's strength had increased even more!

However, his method of fighting had also become more sacrificial…

But with his Immortal Body and his ability to stockpile calories and blood, he felt confident in being able to use his power properly.

"I wonder how strong this will become…" wondered Noah, as he imagined what kind of power could he draw these Skills as they awakened even further.

But now, he finally decided to check his Attribute Panel.

[Noah]

[Bloodline: Vampire (Evolved)]

[Blood Core Rank: Level II: Vampire Noble]

[Vitality: 300]

[Mind: 300]

[Force: 300]

[Skill Points: 50]

[Skill(s): [Blood Progenitor: - (SSS)], [Immortal Body: 24 (S)], [Eviscerating Crimson Claws: 51 (B)], [Vampiric Blood Control: 57 (B)], [Blood Weapon Creation: 53 (B)], [Unyielding Blood Demon: 25 (B)], [Fartalk: 22 (A)], [Yin and Yang Crimson Soul: 26 (S)], [Sacrificial Vampiric Veracity: 1 (B)], [Lifeblood Release: 1 (B)], [Vampiric Eyes of Hypnosis: 76 (C)], [Poisonous Blood: 65 (C)] [Blood Curse: 64 (C)], [Blood Armor: 61 (C)], [Blood Potion: 54 (C)], [Blood Combustion: 67 (C)], [Flight: 64 (B)] [Mist Form: 43 (C)], [Blood Core Creation: 50 (C)], [Crimson Flash: 50 (C)], [Vampiric Drain: 30 (C)], [Blood Frenzy: 35 (C)], [Vampiric Wings: 32 (C)], [Parallel Mind Thought Processing: 32 (A)]

Noah glanced at his numbers, 300 in all stats, just as he desired and expected.

He was now, truly C-Rank!

Was there any C-Rank in their school?

Or even in their classroom?

Noah did not remember any person being C-Rank at all.

It was ironic how the people they believed to be the weakest had already surpassed them on strength!

Iris and the rest also began to absorb the Attribute Cores, as their Blood Cores resonated with new power and even grew in size one by one…

"W-Woah…" said Arthur.

"This power… This is… C-Rank…" said Timassa.

"It feels… completely different from before…" said Jon.

"It feels… weird… Master…" said Adamantine.

"Now we are super strong! Maybe we should just drop school… Is there any purpose in being there now?" said Iris.

"Until we get to B-Rank, we cannot… The School is also protecting us from external forces. In a way, the Crystal Family Guild is probably delaying their revenge because of the school itself… Until we reach B-Rank, and we are confident in our strength to deal with them, we shouldn't leave school yet…" said Noah.

"I see… Well, that's how it is," said Iris.

Noah then glanced at his Ability Cores and decided to convert them all into Skill Points.

Ding!

[Do you wish to exchange [Ability Core (D)] x6, and [Ability Core (E)] x6 for 480 Skill Points?]

[>YES NO]

"Yes!"

Flash!

The Ability Cores turned into particles after Noah's command, as they fused with his Ability Core and new Skill Points emerged at his Attribute Panel.

480 alongside the 50 he already had, Noah now ended at 530 Skill Points!

With this, he was more than capable of maxing out his Skill Tree!

Noah glanced at his Skill Tree, checking the last Skills he could unlock.

[Level: II]

[Vampire Noble (60/60)]: Spend Skill Points into this branch to unlock more of the innate strength of the Blood Progenitor, such as bonus Attribute Values, Skills, and more.

Additional Abilities can be unlocked after the Branch is Maxed.

Additional Abilities (I): [Blood Core Creation (50/50)], [Crimson Flash (55/55)], [Vampiric Drain (60/60)]

Additional Abilities (II): [Blood Frenzy (70/70)], [Vampiric Wings (75/75)], [Crimson Aegis (0/80)]

Additional Abilities (III): [Blood Storage (0/90)], [Blood Servant (0/95)], [Blood Pact (0/100)]

"Crimson Aegis, Blood Storage, Blood Servant, and Blood Pact… All of them sound interesting… Good, time to grab them all!"

Noah smiled maliciously as he imagined the power he could draw from such interesting-sounding Skills, as he immediately spent his Skill Points on them!

Ding!

[You have exchanged 80 Skill Points]

[You unlocked the [Crimson Aegis: 1 (C)] Skill]

Ding!

[You have exchanged 90 Skill Points]

[You unlocked the [Blood Storage: 1 (B)] Skill]

Ding!

[You have exchanged 95 Skill Points]

[You unlocked the [Blood Servant: 1 (B)] Skill]

Ding!

[You have exchanged 100 Skill Points]

[You unlocked the [Blood Pact: 1 (B)] Skill]

With this, Noah had maxed the Level II of the Blood Progenitor Skill Tree!

And alongside this, a rush of knowledge on how to use these Skills rushed into his head, giving him a good insight into their usage.

Crimson Aegis was the Skill Noah had wanted for a while, which his armor could not completely give to him.

Although the armor was good to resist damage in general from all types, when he needed to block an enormous attack, Noah was always thrown into the air.

But now with Crimson Aegis, this was a thing of the past… as long as he had enough Mana and Blood!

With Crimson Aegis, Noah had the power to summon shields made of hardened blood!

However, these shields were not similar to the weapons of blood weapon creation, and had an even greater resiliency and amazing defensive capabilities!

With them, Noah could lessen the shock and force of attacks sent against him, even if the shields were to break!
