Vampire Summoner's Rebirth: Summoning The Vampire Queen At The Start

-----

Once Fausto, Ezekiel, and Dominus evolved and the trio started celebrating by jumping around me, I checked their status.

-----

[Name]: [Fausto]

[Type]: [Undead] [Skeleton] [Chimera] [Unique Familiar]

[Rank]: [E+]

[Race]: [Bone Chimera]

[Talent]: [Bone Eater: ★]

[Health Points]: [1.000/1.000]

[Mana Points:] [500/500]

[Strength]: [1.000]

[Agility]: [400]

[Vitality]: [800]

[Skill]: [Steel Bones++] [Aura of Intimidation++] [Bone Projectile++] [Bone Absorption+] [Bone Weapon+]

[Title]: [Named Familiar] [Bone Eating Skeleton]

[Bond]: [Blake]

[Growth]: [0/30]

-----

Bone Weapon as a Skill seems interesting, it allows Fausto to shape any bone from its body into a sharp and deadly weapon, not bad at all! Also his stats are surprisingly good and balanced.

-----

[Name]: [Ezekiel]

[Type]: [Undead] [Zombie] [Shadow] [Unique Familiar]

[Rank]: [E+]

[Race]: [Blood Shadow Zombie]

[Talent]: [Assassin: ★]

[Health Points]: [1.000/1.000]

[Mana Points:] [800/800]

[Strength]: [700]

[Agility]: [1.000]

[Vitality]: [500]

[Intelligence]: [400]

[Dexterity]: [400]

[Skill]: [Self Regeneration++] [Aura of Famine++] [Undead Wall++] [Biomancy+] [Shadow Attack+]

[Title]: [Named Familiar] [Undead Ambusher]

[Bond]: [Blake]

[Growth]: [0/30]

-----

Despite the initial Skills, Ezekiel is very into growing into some sort of assassin, Shadow Attack not only allows it to shape his own shadow into a small sharp weapon, but it can also sneak through a foe's shadows for a powerful surprise blow all into one. A rather powerful skill when considering the stats and how they're placed.

-----

[Name]: [Dominus]

[Type]: [Material] [Weapon] [Fire] [Unique Familiar]

[Rank]: [E+]

[Race]: [Living Blazing Axe]

[Talent]: [Butcherer: ★]

[Health Points]: [1.200/1.200]

[Mana Points:] [500/500]

[Strength]: [1.200]

[Agility]: [900]

[Vitality]: [400]

[Intelligence]: [400]

[Dexterity]: [500]

[Skill]: [Strong Strike++] [Vertical Slash++] [Crush++] [Blazing Steel+] [Burning Wounds+]

[Title]: [Named Familiar] [Burner Of Flesh]

[Bond]: [Blake]

[Growth]: [0/30]

By far the strongest of the trio in terms of raw power alone, if nothing else. Dominus hits the hardest, and with the Burning Wounds new skill, burning foes to deal even more extra damage has become a viable strategy for them.

"Excellent, you've grown well." I nodded. "Here, take these as treats." I opened my Inventory and feed them bones, meat, and ores. Once they were satisfied, we continued.

With the newly evolved trio of Familiars, we had an even easier time at the third Garden section. This time we fought against countless Gardener Ants ranging from F Rank to E+ Rank, perfect to grind their spirit orbs for our little familiars.

"I wanna go down there, brother!"

"W-We have to explore it, of course!"

Once we've slain close to a hundred, we moved forwards until the end of the garden, which had an anthill leading underground. My siblings were really into getting down there, so, although reluctantly, we moved down there.

"Fine, let's go then." I shrugged. "What's the worst that could happen?"

We were greeted with an ant ambush, as I thought, fifty more ants attacked us all at once. I ended restraining them all using my Vampiric Vines before they were to get any closer, and my siblings and familiars had an easy time killing them. The twins were already around Level 28, a bit more and they would hit max level.

"Is this alright? I thought you wanted them to earn battle experience?" Elizabeth asked me worriedly. "If we level them up too easily, they won't grow well."

"I know, but I panicked a bit. If too many swarmed on them they could have been seriously injured more than I would have wanted to see, the giant ants are vicious with those jaws." I sighed. "Now, let's proceed. I'll use my senses to tell you whenever an ant is coming."

"Alright!" Both Anna and Allan were pumped up.

We moved from cave to cave, finding more packs of Gardener Ants, which they slain on their own with the Familiars as aid. Until we finally reached the very end, being greeted by a Giant Gardener Ant Queen, three times as big as the soldiers.

It was good at using magic and was D+ Rank too, firing beams of darkness against us. Emerald defended, Paprika unleashed flames, the siblings attacked with both magic and techniques. And in between my own familiars' powerful blows and Dominus very lethal blows, the queen fell quicker than we thought.

"Gryyeeerrgh…"

The giant bug fell down to her demise, as the twins gained a large quantity of EXP, and about us? Not even enough for a level yet… Well, I do have patience. The Mithril Mountain Dungeon will give us all the EXP we crave.

"We hit max level!" Anna and Allan said almost at the same time.

"You did it guys, yaaay!" Erika celebrated with them, lifting them both.

"They do have quite a lot of talent; I have to admit." Eleanora nodded. "To be expected of your siblings, my lord- I mean, Blake."

"Their new Talents are really good, yeah! Silver and Gold Magic… I have never seen such elements in person before like this." Elizabeth said while analyzing them.

"Well done!" I nodded, congratulating them. "You've done enough, right? It's late already, so let's go back for now."

"What? But we need to level more!" Anna said.

"Yeah…" Allan nodded.

"No more than that." I stopped them. "Let's go back home. Mom is waiting for you."

After convincing them, we moved back home, while I felt a strangely eerie feeling as I gave my back to the Garden. It felt as if something or someone was watching me. Not a human or even a cultist or a demon, but something that was everywhere, as if nature itself.

This Garden, whatever it is, must be controlled by a pretty strong monster if its daring to look at me with such anger. Is it frustrated its attempts at stopping us failed again? It might bring even stronger monsters next time, for all I know.

Nonetheless, after reaching back home, we had a hearty lunch with the entire family before taking a trip around town to relax and enjoy the place. We meet up with our friends after a couple of days of just being with our families, and enjoyed a nice evening together, eating out, talking, laughing, and just overall enjoying the day.

Once the next morning came, I was ready to forge Elizabeth's new weapon, and also upgrade my old spear, which I've had with me for many years now…
