Vampire Summoner's Rebirth: Summoning The Vampire Queen At The Start
Chapter 481 Hendrick, The Plague Doctor Vampire-----
His aura emanated a powerful, slightly poisonous and toxic black darkness. The moment he appeared, the food everyone was eating started rotting away, turning black and then purple, bubbling as if it turned into poison.
"I can't believe is this guy…" Sighed Eleanora. "From all people!"
"Arf?" Blood seemed confused that his food suddenly turned into poison.
"Grawr…?" Ruby curiously looked at the tall man wearing a plague doctor mask.
"Greetings to all! Especially to my dearest master! The greatest, the most incredible, the one and only I will ever serve…! Lord Asmodeus, the Great Vampire Emperor of…!"
The man's voice, which sounded filled with pride and cockiness stopped, as he took a glance at me.
"Hm? Is this… Was I summoned by Master Asmodeus?" He wondered, looking around. "Do you happen to know where he might be, youngling?"
"…Hendrick, it is me."
"Eh?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I am Asmodeus… or well, I was. I am his reincarnation, call me Blake from now on."
"A-Asmodeus…? My lord… REINCARNATED?!"
He reacted as overly dramatical as always.
Hendrick is an old companion of my previous life. He was an eccentric man. He used to be a slave of a large group of criminals in a faraway planet. Once I beat that organization and absorbed it, I freed the slaves and turned most of them into Vampiric Beings.
Hendrick was the strongest amongst them all. A young man's whose entire body was burned as they used him for experimentation of toxins and acids they were developing. Even when he turned into a Vampire, such scars never left his body, as if he wanted them to stay.
He often said they were his "baptism" or something, a part of his very being. However, to hide such an appearance, he began wearing lots of black clothes over his body. Taking a special liking into wearing large masks, his favorites were those of Plague Doctors.
After he became a Vampire, he developed abilities related with the synthesis of toxins, chemicals, acids, and poisons. He was eccentric, as if his own trauma made him obsessed with these types of chemical compounds. He was one of my most talented alchemists, and a man devoted to his passion and his master.
He adored my previous self so much he built countless statues on my appearance and filled our spaceship with them. He was also one of my assistants in alchemy, always helping me in perfecting my creations and also making countless types of potions and poisons to fight the mightiest of foes.
If I remember correctly, he had a special ability named [Alchemical Compound Synthesis] which allowed him to modify the chemicals of anything he touched. His way of fighting was often by turning his foe's blood into needles and their innards into acid. He loved torturing others, as a result.
"Hey idiot, I am also here…" Elenora looked at Hendrick angrily, quickly turning into her Full Power Form.
"Hm?! Eleanora dearest?! So you're here as well! What joy!" He said happily. "But I may require some instructions and explanations first, my lord." He quickly accepted things very quickly.
Amongst all my subordinates, Hendrick was someone capable of adapting to everything incredibly quickly, a few explanations was all he needed to learn about everything and quickly understand it as soon as possible.
"Hendrick, you don't remember anything after Lucifer's fight?" I asked.
"I… Remember fighting someone named Astaroth! He was a very mighty demon; he held the same powers as me! It was very tough, but I managed to kill him. After that I… Milord's fought Lucifer and… A bright fire took over me." He said. "Ah, I guess I died there, huh? Hahaha! To think my life would go in such a whim! The universe is truly unfair!"
"Yeah, I suppose you even died before I was reincarnated… Well, let's begin everything from the start." I sighed.
Like that, I gave Hendrick a ten-minute explanation of everything. His eyes could clearly be seen opening wide beneath his mask.
"T-This incredible! From Lucifer's intention of a rematch which allowed all of us to have a second chance, to this Spiritias World of wondrous essence of high quality, to everything else that happened with the Holy Spirits! Well, I could have not expected less from my lord. Even as the human child you are now, you're still my master. I will gladly serve you, even after my death, my dear master. Now as a spirit rather than a full vampire." Hendrick lowered his head once more, kneeling before me.
"You don't need to kneel, let's have a more casual relationship from now on." I said while trying to calm him down.
"That's… IMPOSSIBLE!"
"Eh?!"
"It is impossible for me to treat my lord casually! I would rather die!"
"But…!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Eleanora did it because she's obviously in love with you! But I cannot simply do that."
"You know what? Sure, whatever, do whatever you want."
I ended sighing, I couldn't fight against his annoying indomitable will.
"Now my lord is going to an academy, huh? We shall slay as many demons as we can then! Our goal should be destroying each demon tower and then, Lucifer!" Hendrick said. "I am getting pumped up! Alright my lord, tell me who should I kill first? Ah, I sense a very annoying woman some meters away! Shall I begin with her? What would you prefer? Blood converted into needles? Poisoned stomach? Or my favorite! Acid inside the brain?"
"No, no, calm down. For now, we should keep ourselves at bay." I sighed, calming down Hendrick. "I have another subordinate I must summon first… so sit down and relax. Also, bring that food back to how it was."
"A-Ah… Understood." Hendrick nodded, calming down and slowly changing the chemical compounds of the stew, bringing it all back to how it was before. It seems he had inherited his previous life ability.
"Don't do that to food again, okay?" Eleanora angrily said.
"I apologize, lady Eleanora!" Hendrick sighed. "I was just TOO excited! That's all."
"Yeah, yeah… you've always like doing these kinds of pranks!" Eleanora said. Her powerful aura overpowered Hendrick, as he felt genuinely afraid of her rage.
"Please spare my life, dearest Eleanora!" Hendrick sighed. "Master, please calm down this woman!"
"Eleanora, leave him be." I sighed, concentrating into the new summon.
