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

-----

Their eyes were filled with fear and confusion, even though most of them were being blinded by the sticky toxin Hendrick threw inside their eyes. Naturally, as one person grows stronger through leveling up, resistance to poisons and curses become greater too, even the poison in their mouths and eyes wasn't killing them, Hendrick could make deadlier poison if he wanted, but there was no poison that killed instantly available within his arsenal right now. However, they were still taking damage over time.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

…Crack!

Their arms and legs were sliced for good measure, just before the item I had used was broken. Indeed, the Sealing Chains I used weren't just the spell alone. I had created a Spell Jewel imbued the Tier 3 Seal Magic: Magic Sealing Chains and the Tier 3 Holy Light Magic: Holy Chains, combining them created the [Holy Sealing Chains Spell Jewel (Unique Grade)].

Spell Jewels were special crystals made out of mana-rich materials refined in the Alchemy Cauldron, they had the ability to conjure a spell once at their full power, the more mana was imbued into them before their creation, the stronger the spell became.

However, once they were used once, they shatter and stop working. Depending in how strong our opponent is, they might last longer or not. In fact, if I had used it directly on them without properly trapping them using shadows and Hendrick's poison, the chains would had been broken in less than ten seconds.

But thanks to having inflicted status effects that weakened them, and also trapping them within shadows, inhibiting their movements, the chains were activated as long as twenty seconds, good enough to trap them, bring them into the shadows, and cut their limbs.

Why were they not killed instantly instead? There are a few reasons, if we killed them instantly, the marks would had made them blow up into pieces, as they activate that way or through their incantation. This is why their mouths were covered as well.

To not let these bastards blow up in front of my spirits, which could potentially kill them if they did, we took safety measures. Dealing with these cultists that blow themselves up is like dealing with delicate time bombs, one wrong step and they'll explode into smithereens.

Crack!

As the spell jewel I had prepared shattered into pieces and lost its power within my hands, I continued watching what was happening within the shadows where the cultists were trapped inside through the eyes of my spirits.

Their wounds were painful, but Hendrick took care of it by using his poison, now this time creating a sticky green substance he stuck into their wounds.

"Now, now, you cannot blow yourselves up, and you cannot escape. You have two options, become my master's underlings or… die without a purpose."

Eleanora's eyes glanced at the four spies; their bodies drenched on cold sweat. Although they could now use magic, as several magic circles emerged around them, firing fireballs, water, winds, and rock bullets at them.

"Hmph, useless rubbish."

Eleanora waved her hand, all the surroundings were just darkness, in mere seconds, the spells they conjured were blocked and then devoured by [Shadow Jaws], leaving no trace of them. It was as if the shadows themselves had become a living being of its own.

"Nnngggh…!"

"Guuhhh…!"

"Cough… cough…!"

Suddenly, one of them began coughing, until the sticky poison inside their throats came out. At the same time as they were desperately firing spells useless, blood began gushing from his mouth.

His tongue began shining with a red mark.

So these bastards had more marks inside their tongues!

"Saphira, drag their souls away!"

"Okay!!"

Saphira didn't waste any minute, the one who had revealed its tongue suddenly began glowing with a mysterious demonic energy, her skin started turning red, and horns began growing from her forehead.

"D-Demon Transforma- GGGAAHH…?!"

However, before it could complete her transformation, her soul was dragged out of her weakened and half-dead body by Saphira, squirming in agony.

"AAAGGGHHH…!"

The little and innocent eyes of Saphira glowed bright red, her arms extended into phantasmal claws, as she dragged out the souls of the other three spies right after that, their souls were groaning in agony.

"STOOOP! UUUAGGH!"

"NOOOO!"

"LORD… LORD BEELZEBUUUUB!"

My Grimoire quickly showed me the results.

[You've slain [Half Demon Beelzebub Cultist] x4!]

[EXP has been multiplied thanks to [Hard Worker]!]

[You earned 800000 EXP!]

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

[Your Level has increased from Level 7 to Level 12!]

[All your Stats have increased]

[You gained Stat Points and Skill Points]

My Level rose more than I expected from this. However, even after their deaths, I couldn't sing victory yet. Their souls started wriggling frantically while Saphira was trying to contain them, she quickly opened her tiny jaws and attempted to tear them down.

"Destroy the souls!" I ordered the three of them to quickly destroy the souls, they were up to something.

"[Soul Devour]!"

"[Abyssal Spear]!"

"[Phantasmal Venom]!"

CLAAAAASH!

The three attacks reached the four wriggling souls which Saphira was having a hard time containing, but something started emerging from their souls, even when they were being slowly torn apart…

FLAAAAASH!

The four souls freed themselves from Saphira's clutches, merging together into a phantasmal mass, a red mark emerged, the same as Beelzebub, and from within the mark, two sharp red eyes glared down at my spirits while the surroundings remained black. Those eyes…

"Who…"

A grotesque voice, like that of an aberrant monster echoed across the Shadow Space created through the Shadow Manipulation Skill and the Shadow and Darkness Magic Spells.

"Who is bold enough to dare devour the souls that belong to me?!"

The red eyes opened wide, resembling those of a monstrous fly, glaring down at my spirits with an overflowing demonic essence.

"This is… Beelzebub, the real deal?!" Asked Hendrick.

"I am fairly sure we sealed him back then! Lord Asmodeus couldn't kill him because he was a pillar of Hell, he would keep reviving… Unless Lucifer was killed, the Archdemons would eternally revive." Eleanora said.

"Uwaah, it is a gross big fly!" Saphira said.

"GGRRRRRHHHH…! AS… MO… DEUS?! DON'T YOU DARE SAY THAT NAME BEFORE ME, YOU WORMS!"

BBBZZZZZZ!
