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

Chapter 810  Moving Back To The Abyss

-----

Once we had breakfast, and with Monica's father, Cattalina, and Evelyn, we moved across the skies through Draco, reaching the large hole left behind in the city's capital.

The capital's only lords left behind were the children of the King and the Queen, who were very young and naïve, not enough to be able to control a country. So Monica's family was planning on taking over the country by adopting the two of them.

It might sound harsh or perhaps wrong to some, but it was the ideal and perfect time to do so, the children can't take care of a country until they become responsible adults after all, and giving the country to other greedy nobles wouldn't be a good idea, especially because every other surviving noble was a coward that ran away or survived by luck.

And well, even if they grow up, Monica might end up inheriting the throne whenever her father passes away of old age, in many years from now on.

Nonetheless, the point of what I was getting at was that by securing the country, they can secure the capital and therefore, keep this area for themselves- and well, ourselves too.

It'll be kept as a secret, eventually we have plans on covering it up and only leaving a secret staircase once the castle is reconstructed above.

If we leave it just open, it might eventually attract adventurers trying to explore its depths, and the secrets down there will be revealed to everyone, which might awaken the greed of many.

And because Silvertide is in such a weakened state, the last thing we want is for greedy nobles of neighboring countries to attempt an invasion just to get their hands into this power.

So, with Evelyn and Cattalina, and well, everyone, we made a Magic Oath using Spirit Magic Contracts to keep this a secret from everyone else, unless we all agree on revealing the truth to someone.

The dark and lugubrious depths of the Abyss gave the chills to most of my friends, only Monica's father and Cattalina remained calm as they walked across the unknown darkness of these depths.

"Ugh, it's so chilly in here, and the darkness gives me some really bad vibes…" Eric seemed to have reverted to his cowardly past self quite quickly. "C-Calm down a bit, Eric." Alberta calmed him down. "It's alright… I'm quite used to dark caves, as I was raised in many of them as a Dwarf. Since I was a baby that I've traveled and mined in many!"

"Huh… Well, this places does have some sort of weird phantasmal energy everywhere…" Erdrich analyzed.

"It is quite uncomfortable…" Elfriedden muttered.

"Not as much as being with you! And why are you sticking so close to me?!" Chris angrily said.

"It's because you're controlling those flames that bring light!" Elfriedden angrily barked back. "Stop being a greedy brat!"

"Who are you calling a brat, last time I checked we had the same age!" Chris roared angrily.

"I-I guess these two make it more lively." Monica laughed a bit.

"Certainly…" Elizabeth said, illuminating our surroundings with a bright sphere of light above our heads. "I have never heard or read about this place before in any book from the Holy Spirit church though… However, I have read in one book about a place known as "Abyss" where all the forgotten knowledge and relics of the past remain, buried below the ground for nobody to ever find."

"I-It must be this place then, right?" Erika asked curiously. "Uwah… It's a big scary and spooky here though!" She was tightly holding my arm. "Calm down, there's nothing dangerous here, Erika." I sighed. "Also we've fought armies of Undead before when you were much younger as well! Why are you getting scared now?" "Hehehe… So I can get protected by you." She smiled teasingly.

Ah, I should had guessed she just wanted attention.

"So this expansive Abyssal Area, is this the Abyss?" Asked Cattalina. "So such an underworld realm exists right beneath ours… An eternal world of caves and darkness. There are many ores and crystals I've never seen before in here as well as mushrooms… Amusing."

"Indeed, this darkness is quite comfortable." Said Monica's father, a well-known Dark Sorcerer. "Very comfortable, actually… Hm, oh?"

"This is…" Cattalina muttered. "Bones? Gigantic bones!"

"Yeah, this is the graveyard of the Ancient Gods, right, Saphira?" I asked Saphira.

FLASH!

"Yeah, something like that!" Saphira appeared out of thin air, scaring a few of my friends as she was quite literally a ghost. "They're sleeping now but I remember that they spoke to me, the souls of these Ancient Gods that died long ago… They said they wanted their legacy to be inherited, so the people of the future could prepare themselves for the threat that might come back once more…"

"Threat?" Cattalina asked. "Did they refer to the demons?"

"Hmm…" Monica's father kept analyzing the place as we walked.

"I don't know myself, I spoke with the Holy Spirits last night, they said there was another threat. According to them, Demons are quite recent, only having appeared in the last fifty thousand years."

"So there was an even more dangerous ancient threat?" Cattalina wondered. "Fascinating and yet… intriguing. I need to investigate this into more detail… Ugh, but we must return to the academy soon! What a waste…"

"You're invited to come here at any time you wish for, Lady Cattalina." Monica's father smiled cordially. "You can investigate all you want as well, you're one of our heroes."

"Oh? Well, if you insist." The half-elf pink-haired lady giggled mischievously. "I will gladly take the opportunity if you're giving it to me!"

"Mom, don't go overboard, okay?" Erika asked. "I don't want you to go away for years again!"

"A-Ah, yes…" Cattalina nodded. "I promised you I would stay at your side.. But I'll just come sometimes, and it will be a couple of days, I promise!"

"Hmmm…" Erika was slightly skeptical but agreed at the end. "Nonetheless, you must touch this thing over here." I said. "Come."

I led everyone to the giant monolith I had touched, which gave me the amazing power of fusing Talents, that ended giving me so much strength, from new Skills to bonus Stat and Skill Points, and more.
