Epic of Vampire Dragon: Reborn as a Vampire Dragon with a System
Chapter 358: NamingChaos had yet to understand what Skills could truly be. Aside from "additions" from the System itself, or gifts, or Jobs, and so on, nobody could truly figure it out, but Chaos knew he could steal them from people he ate, sometimes new Skills would also generate based in what he ate, this was thanks to the Unique Skill All-Consumption.
There were also other times he could gain Abilities from others, but that was rarer, Skills was the thing he had the most abundant quantity of, and something that always made him wonder how they worked.
But for now, there was no point in wondering about such things. He may one day find out more about them, but for now he simply wanted to concentrate into other things. Such as the task he had in front of him.
The Aberrant Psionic Cthulhu was very happy to have been summoned once more, her tentacles were hugging Chaos and Abyss at his side was growing increasingly angry, but because the Aberrant Psionic Cthulhu had sacrificed herself for the others, and because she had fought bravely, she wanted to let her have her way, she was simply showing some affection, it wasn't anything too hard to resist…
"Please stop hugging me so much, Abyss will continue to get angry…" said Chaos.
"Oh… M-My bad! I was just happy to see you, my lord…" said the Aberrant Psionic Cthulhu. She was dedicated to only Chaos, and if she even helped others, it was so she could gain more favor points to him. For her, only Chaos was the important, as he was her summoner and master.
"It is fine. I am not angry at all or anything of the sort! I-I have grown tolerant, Chaos-sama…" said Abyss, barely forcing a smile that seemed menacing, the Aberrant Psionic Cthulhu and the other two Summons behind her were trembling in fear, the aura that Abyss emanated was deadly.
Chaos petted her head gently and then continued with what he was about to do.

"Yes, I did, I also name the two behind you." Said Chaos.
The Living Deity and Demigod Summons, who had been there for some time, looked at Chaos with surprise, they never expected to be chosen as "named ones" before, as they looked generic and couldn't even speak properly.
But they also helped the Aberrant Psionic Cthulhu, and were like her lackeys in a way, as they saw her as the leader of the trio of immortal summons, who could be summoned again even if they die and that's why they were called "immortal" by Chaos.
Chaos had not named them before because he never saw them as important as his other allies whom he spent most of the time, the silent Living Deity and Demigod were very lowkey and often emotionless, expressionless, and dull as a rock, while the Aberrant Psionic Cthulhu was always hiding and trying to improve herself for one day receive her lord's attention in more detail.
This way, Chaos was incapable of seeing them in detail all this time, and never found them active on his daily life to care enough, but lately they ended serving a large purpose and he finally noticed them. He didn't felt good because of this, and blamed himself for lacking a lot of tact and being unable to see his own allies and their talents.
But now that he finally saw them and recognized them more, he thought that they were indeed strong and convenient, they were allies that could be always revived. Although that sounded a bit cruel, it could be a good strategy to utilize units that are capable of realistically sacrificing themselves for others.
"So you're going to name them, what names will you give to them?" wondered Abyss.
"Hm, nothing too complicated, I guess… But something that can hold some sort of meaning as well, perhaps if I name them, they could evolve, and based in their names, they would become new people altogether…" said Chaos.
"Hmm… True." Said Abyss.
"I will accept any name." said the Aberrant Psionic Cthulhu.
"Then how about Octopi?" asked Abyss.
"That's s a terrible name!" cried the Aberrant Psionic Cthulhu.
"Eeeh?! You said any name!" said Abyss.
"B-But not from you…" said the Aberrant Psionic Cthulhu.
"Grrr… Insolent little octopus!" said Abyss angrily.
"C-Chaos-sama, calm her down…" cried the Aberrant Psionic Cthulhu.
"Abyss calm down, that name was indeed bad. I am sorry." Said Chaos.

Chaos looked at the Aberrant Psionic Cthulhu and squinted his eyes a bit, and then looked at the two summons behind her.
"I will name you Cthully, I think keeping a par of your original name is good…" said Chaos.
"Cthully… Yes, that's my name!" said Cthully, as her entire body began to glow with bright pink light, suddenly starlight emerged around her, and then an entire nebula of cosmic smoke appeared, combined with chaotic energies and the mana that Chaos had, which was directly flowing out of his body into his summon.
FLAAAASH!
The evolution was almost instantaneous, but the body of Cthully changed greatly! She was evolving into a higher being than just enhancing her total existence realm, she was now really changing shape.
She felt as if her body began to compact itself into a smaller form, and then, it suddenly began to stretch like a noodle, until it gathered together into something… strangely humanoid.
Ding!
[Cthully] had evolved into a [Psionic Mind-Eating Scylla Queen]!]
"Oh…"
Chaos looked at the Status showing off Cthully's change, as he was impressed by what was happening in front of his eyes, Abyss was also showing some surprise, and so did the other two summons behind Cthully, her entire shape changed, becoming more stylized, humanoid, and quite pretty.
The cosmic smoke, pink light, starlight, chaotic energies, and mana all began to concentrate into her body, compacting themselves into her and fusing them within her very self, forming her new body…
