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

-----

"Yeah, this is what we call leveling up." Eric said. "It is when we earn enough Experience Points by slaying a monster. Blake figured out how it works. Each time we defeat monsters, we get this power, after this power reaches a certain numerical requirement we level up and all our stats grow by a few digits each time. There's a level cap too, when we reach it, we can Rank Up our Talents and often Rank Up our Spirit Orbs as well!"

"I-Is that so?! Not even the researchers in my country ever figured out such a thing!" Alberta was amazed. I mostly owed this to the Grimoire by letting me see these things quite easily.

"Hmph, is what he's speculating really true?" Wondered Elfriedden. "How does he knows these things to begin with? How did you figured it out?"

The elf was skeptical. It was fine, I didn't really expected someone we've meet for a week to believe anything I said, Alberta seemed quite gullible though, but Elfriedden was cautious, sometimes overly so.

"It is something I studied using a special ability I was born with. You can believe me or not, I don't really mind. It is just a theory. It also works with Skills and Skill Acquisition, alongside Skill Leveling." I said. "After all, the reason why everyone one of us has so many powerful skills is thanks to this, I've taught them well."

"Huh…" Elfriedden seemed skeptical still. "Well, once we're done in this dungeon you better explain things to me properly. Once I heard your theories, I will judge them."

I don't know if he was trying to act friendly or was still acting like an asshole. It honestly felt like a mix of the two, as if he struggled to be a nice person, perhaps. Well, his efforts were commendable.

"Well, we've finished the first floor! We should get going to the second one right away! Though, there's a gross amount of leftover meat…" Sighed Erika. "Do we leave it there? I thought dungeon monsters just disappeared once dead…"

"Did you even paid attention to the Dungeon Crawling Classes, Erika?" I asked her while sighing. "Dungeon Monsters are as real as the outside one. Monster meat, bones, skin, and their internal organs could be used to make potions for alchemy and to consume, but goblin meat is specially bitter flavored and only their hearts were worth anything, alongside the Spirit Orb inside of them."

However, just because somebody didn't found much use to them didn't meant I couldn't. I had many ideas I could use this much flesh, bones, and other things, even if it was mostly inedible.

"Oh, so that's it…" Erika nodded, although she seemed to be rather clumsy, so she perhaps barely understood the long explanation. "Anyways, then we leave it here and just harvest the hearts and the spirit orbs? That should be enough proof we slain them."

"More or less. Dungeons are like living beings, once someone dies inside of them, after a few hours the bodies will begin to decompose rapidly until nothing organic is left behind. The dungeon does this recycling process to maintain itself." I said while remembering the classes.

"Eh? Did they really taught us so much in the Dungeon Crawling classes?!" Erika was left shocked.

"Geez, you really only think about swinging that sword and kissing Blake, don't you?" Sighed Elizabeth.

"Ahahah… T-That's not right!" Erika said while blushing. "I study! I pay attention to classes…"

"Anyways, we shouldn't get sidetracked so much." Erdrich said. "Is everyone feeling alright? Alberta?

"Yeah, I am alright!" Said Alberta. "I leveled up and don't feel tired at all when I used my MP… does my MP recovers when I level up?"

"Yeah, you recover around fifty percent of your MP with each Level Up, alongside HP. Minor wounds could heal this way." Eric said.

"There's a strategy where we can continue traveling across the dungeon nonstop by leveling up constantly, recovering our exhaustion through this method." Chris added.

"Ooh, I see!" Alberta was surprised.

"Anyways… I'll store this for now. [Dismantle] [Store]"

I quickly stored things inside of my Inventory through a new function named [Dismantle].

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

Ding!

[You've stored [Goblin's Skin] x55, [Goblin's Eyes] x100, [Goblin's Meat and Bones] x120, [Goblin's Internal Organs] x140, [Goblin's Mana Conducting Heart] x65, [Spirit Orb (E)] x70, [Spirit Orb (F)] x20 inside of your [Inventory]!]

It seems Hobgoblins and Goblins drop were not categorized differently, perhaps due to the similarities both share so much. So even the eyes from a hobgoblin were still treated as goblin's eyes. Well, now that they're all torn apart into pieces, it is probably quite hard to tell them apart. The only different was that Hobgoblins were slightly taller than normal Goblins.

"Wow, everything disappeared?!" Alberta was flabbergasted

"What the…?!" Even Elfriedden was shocked. "Did you put everything inside a Dimensional Bag? But you're not carrying any, also there's no dimensional bags that can carry so much luggage!"

"It is an inventory skill, it allows me not only to store thousands of items, but I can dismantle them automatically." I said pridefully.

Although this was a combination of my Butcher Skill evolving and merging its capabilities with the newly evolved Storage Ability, which awakened to its truest potential thanks to the Holy Spirits freeing the Grimoire from its restraints and any connection with Lucifer.

"Such a Skill is even possible…?" Sighed Elfriedden. "Well, whatever, I won't ask you anymore, you seem way too out of common sense for me to bother trying to make some logic out of your capabilities. More importantly, let's advance, I want to finish this in less than four hours if possible."

"Yeah, let's got." I led the whole party, as we advanced into the second floor right away. The structure of the dungeon was of a very simple cavern system with stairs leading down.

The moment we arrived on the second floor, we were greeted by furious goblins who probably heard the fuss that was happening all the way up on the first floor.

"Gryyyaaarrr!

A Hobgoblin roared angrily, leading the rest to charge against us.
