Epic of Vampire Dragon: Reborn as a Vampire Dragon with a System
Chapter 123: Delicious Spoils of WarAfter Chaos devoured the corpses of the Mindflayers, his entire body and soul underwent great changes! He felt as if he had gained new power…
The overflowing energies continued to flow freely across his body, as he gained new power despite having already eaten a Mindflayer before, perhaps these ones were a bit different, or they had a different flavor or something, anything! But they were clearly different in some regard, shape or form.
Chaos looked at the status, he had gained several new Skills!
Ding!
[You've learned the following Skills]
[Elder Mindflayers Brain Connection]
[Psionic Network]
[Psionic Energy Harboring Body]
[Psionic Energy Summoning Art: Aberrant Psionic Cthulhu]
…
Four new Skills had emerged on Chaos sight, all of them powerful on their own regards…
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe couldn't wait to check what they did, so he immediately went and looked at their information:
…
[Elder Mindflayers Brain Connection]: utilize your superior brain and connect its brainwaves and thoughts with those you desire.
[Psionic Network]: create a network of telepathic psionic brainwaves to communicate with someone within the range of your network or do a variety of other things…
[Psionic Energy Harboring Body]: Your body has been modified and adapted to harbor Psionic Energy on large quantities, and you can store and stockpile this energy to be used instantly in an explosive attack or enhance your overall physical strength.
[Psionic Energy Summoning Art: Aberrant Psionic Cthulhu]: Harbor your Psionic Energy in a single place and step into the abyssal dimension with it, summoning a fragment of the monstrous Outer Void God Cthulhu, who is closely related with Mindflayers.
…
Interesting! The skills helped Chaos utilize Psionic energy even more effectively, and also brought new toys to play with, such as creating a psionic network to talk telepathically with others or do other things, and even enhance his own power with psionic energy! He could quite literally even make his muscles stronger through stockpiling this psionic energy into his body…
And lastly, he was given… a summoning ability!
This was Chaos first summoning ability, and it allowed him to summon the same monster the Mindflayers used against him and his party! Amazing.
With this, he could quite possibly summon an endless supply of food… well, seafood, if anyone was into grilled octopus every day.
Chaos began to wonder if he could eat other summons, would he be able to summon what they can summon? It could be an interesting concept.
Chaos decided to try it out immediately, as a magic circle emerged before him in the large and empty hall, and an enormous creature was summoned by the materialization of his psionic energy and his chaos attribute mana mixed into it!
TRUUUUUMMM!
"GGRYYOOOOOOHHH!"
The monstrous creature that surged from this summon circle resembled an evolved form of the one they fought previously!
"W-What?!" cried Lilith in surprise.
"Master Chaos, what have you summoned?!" asked Ifrit.
"This is… the thing the Mindflayers used!" said Natalia.
"He summoned it?!" asked Dura.
"Unbelievable… by eating them, he gained the ability to summon them! To be expected of my lord!" said Belphegor.
"Right! Amazing!" said Abyss.
"Wow… Papa, is he my brother?" asked Erebus.
"Brother? No, he's our dinner." Said Chaos, as he fired a spear into the head of the monster and killed it instantly!

BOOM!
"EH?!"
Everyone had thought he was going to use it as a pet or something…
Chaos had spent a lot of brainpower by summoning it, alongside roughly 100 million Mana… the monster's strength, however, was at Pseudo Demi Deity of Rank 4, so it was fairly strong!
He discovered that he couldn't summon them all at once, so he could only summon once, and to summon another he had to kill the previous one.
Due to this, Chaos summoned the creature another three times before his Mana ended being depleted up to half, and he felt a bit sick after that, so he decided to stop spending too much mana in little time, he still had to strengthen his soul enough for him to be able to summon endlessly…
He was, after all, an infant, and even with all his power, having so much mana sometimes came with drawbacks such as his soul being unstable when he spent so much because most of his mana also made up his own soul mass.
With these four Octopus ready to be cooked, a large feast begun, Belphegor and Ifrit used their fire to grill two octopus, while another one was cut into pieces and made into a delicious broth, another one was cut into tin slices and used as sashimi, and the later was made into Takoyaki, a recipe of food that Chaos had seen through Loid's memories when the man was a younger boy who went to the festivals of the Aurora Planet.
"Ta-da! An all you can eat octopus feast!" said Abyss happily, Dura, Natalia, and literally everyone had helped in cooking it for Chaos, and even Chaos had joined in the cooking, as he now had the Apprentice Chef Job and the Cooking Skill, so he wanted to gain more experience and cook himself as well, which brought a lot of unexpected fun. There was a lot of fun to have aside from just fighting.
Chaos started with the delicious broth, the flavor had a very strong seafood taste, there were several aromatic herbs added into it alongside potato-like roots, and more things to give a better texture to the whole thing, Chaos found it so tasty and addictive that he drank a few dozen bowls in a few minutes.
Afterwards, he enjoyed the warm and crunchy Takoyaki, which were warm and soft inside, the boiled octopus's piece inside were generous and large, it was overall very enjoyable.
And then, he moved to the grilled tentacles, a delicacy, especially with some spicy sauce on top. The grilled meat really tasted quite different.
And lastly, the simple and raw Sashimi, the thin slices went amazing with some sauce, they were soft, and cold, perfect after a lot of warm food… Everything went down with a bit of Death Fruit Ale, well, not a bit, a lot…
The feast continued for literal hours where everyone just ate and enjoyed the day after an arduous fight…
