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

-----

"You demon cultists have gone too far! Don't you realize that using demon parts to enhance your body or modify your spirit will make you go insane?!" Asked Ellergest in anger. "You're already a lost cause, I suppose! …Blank! Hang out tightly, and protect the girls, I will handle this myself!"

"What are you talking about-"

TRUUUMM…!

Suddenly, Ellergest's entire presence was enhanced, from within his body, an aura of pure golden light emerged, encompassing all our surroundings. From within his chest, an energy that reminded me of something emerged, something… draconic.

"This is not a spirit that you can handle easily…" He said, as he suddenly touched his chest. "I am sorry, Lord Mark, but I will have to leave your house a bit destroyed…! Come out, old dragon!"

FLAAAASH!

An enormous flash of bright light came from within the old man's chest, surprising everybody around him. I was also left surprised, although I wouldn't call myself speechless, but it was indeed quite surprising what I was seeing with my very eyes.

It was a regal figure, a being of bright light. It was serpentine in appearance, with an enormous head, and jaws that could easily tear apart the head of a person effortlessly. Its two shiny eyes shone brighter than the stars in a clear night. Its entire body was covered in golden metallic scales, it had four large arms ready to rip apart anything they reached… and two enormous coral-shaped horns that looked like the crown of a king of the skies.

"Hmm… To think you'll finally call me for something, old man…" It spoke, as his voice sounded both wise and serene, but at the same time annoyed, as if he had just woken up from a long slumber.

"My bad, you're just too much of a pain to summon sometimes…" Laughed the Head Priest, as Elisabeth, Gabriela, and I looked in awe at the Spirit Ellergest had summoned.

This being was, without a doubt, a dragon. I remember seeing dragons in my first life, many times. I have fought them, I have eaten them, and they hated me the most as well. Vampires and Dragons never got along in the Outer Universe, two enormous families clashing against one another for eons. Dragons, much like Vampires, are spread around the entire universe, and even other universes.

It is slightly surprising to see one, but not that much. I had assumed I would one day find one, but to think that there was one as a spirit inside of this old man's spirit orb is surprising. It seems he cannot summon him all the time though…

"T-That spirit…! A Rank… a Rank 2 Spirit?!" Asked Cassandra in shock, the mana essence that the dragon emanated wasn't merely Rank 1, no, this thing was Rank 2, and not just Initial Stage either. This old man was quite clearly someone strong that hid his strength, quite possibly because unleashing it tires him and consumes too much Mana, it does make sense, slightly.

"What's so fun about playing with the lives of the innocent?" Said Ellergest.

"Eh?" Asked Cassandra.

"What's so amusing about seeing people suffer?" Asked the old man again.

"Do you think that the wicked thinking you've developed is somewhat your true self? How is this amusing to you? What do you take life for, exactly? How could you ever forget what being a human is like?"" He asked once more.

"What sort of bullcrap are you talking about?" Asked Cassandra. "My entire life I've never been treated like a human… The demons embraced me in their power! Your bullshit of morality doesn't mean a single thing to me!"

"Nay. That's not human nature, that's the demon inside of you. And I trained my entire life to exterminate them… Now, let me show you what a priest is truly capable of."

Ellergest's entire aura began to glow even brighter than before, as bright light suddenly shot from his entire body, clashing against Cassandra. Her dark power erupted like an explosion, as her demon shielded her from the light.

"I will take whatever I want with my two hands…! And nobody is going to stop me!!!" Laughed Cassandra, rushing forward without saying another word, revealing several daggers around her legs, wrapped using belts, she held two daggers with her hands and infused them with demonic power, firing them towards Ellergest.

"Hah! As if some stupid daggers would damage my master when I am present, you stupid woman!" Laughed the Dragon, as he waved his tail strongly, an enormous explosion of light was unleashed, clashing against the daggers!

CRAAAASHHH!

"Heh…!"

However, Cassandra laughed. Wait, those daggers…!

BOOOOOOMMMM!!!

The daggers unleashed an explosion in a single second after being hit by the tails of the dragon, blasting the entire room with a loud and destructive shockwave!

CRAAASH!

The entire ceiling fell apart into pieces, as the floor started to crack and fall apart! The entire room was being destroyed by the clash between two powerful Spirit Masters! I had to move quickly or I'll get crushed by the rubble, damn it!

I gritted my teeth and grabbed Elisabeth and Gabriela with all the strength I could muster, the two girls were completely speechless by the explosions and the fight, and easily let me grab them because they couldn't even react in time. I jumped into the main corridor, just in time for the entire room to fall apart into the floor below. We were on the third floor of this manor, a fall from such a height could easily kill these two girls. Not me, but I would still be heavily damaged and the rubble could bury me as well, I wasn't going to take stupid risks.

"W-Wha… What is happening?!" Cried Elisabeth.

"Your father is fighting." I said.

"Ehh…?! My papa did all that destruction?!" She asked.

"W-What is this…? Can you… even call this a fight?" Wondered Gabriela.

I looked back as I saw Ellergest floating in the sky, around twenty meters above the floor, while Cassandra was standing on the floor while smiling like a demon would.

Their two spirits were clashing against one another, the demon and the dragon, fist against claw, horns against horns, scales against red skin, darkness against light.

It has been truly a long time since I saw a fight like this.
