I Became A Zompirewolf

194 Dark Sorceress (1)

At least it seemed she was dead. But Camilla wasn't dead just yet, Ashton was sure of it. But how could he be so confident about it? Probably because the barrier was still up, which meant Camilla was still alive, barely so but she was.

"You won't even die in peace now?" Ashton shook his head and kicked her over to make sure she was facing him, "Well, it's good you're alive. I have a few things I would like to ask you, and it'd have been a shame if you died just like that."

In reality, Ashton had more than a few things to ask her, but in the end, there were only two or three questions that really mattered. Firstly, the names of the people that were in on the plan to kill Kai. Secondly, what was the motive behind doing so and finally... why were the vampires so vulnerable to the blood of an undead?

Ashton wasn't expecting Camilla to actually answer him, given that he was her enemy. But other than that, she possibly wasn't even in a position to say anything, given the fragile state Ashton had put her in.

But to his surprise, Camilla opened her mouth to say something but ended up choking on her black blood. So instead she expressed her emotions by flipping Ashton off. It might have been her last effort to piss Ashton off, but to her surprise, instead of getting pissed, Ashton laughed along.

"I would have done the same if I were in your position. That being said, I don't think that's gonna happen anytime soon... not after what happened last time." Ashton sighed and drew his blades again, intending to finish her now.

"I'll... have the... last laugh." Camilla managed to smile before spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Ashton stopped the blade mid-strike, his gaze piercing through Camilla's empty eyes, "What do you mean?"

"There... are more... of my people... everyone being led... *cough*,"

"You mean those professors you brought along?" Ashton sighed, "I know they aren't genuine professors."

Camilla got wide-eyed as Ashton dropped a verbal bomb on top of her. Those people were mercenaries, not high-ranking assassins like the ones Ashton killed, but still, they were professional killers hired by the people back in Vania. Therefore, their identities were hidden, even from her.

She was laughing on the inside, knowing that even if she failed to kill Kai, the mercenaries would be able to kill everyone else. It was their plan to not leave any witness so that whatever they were doing wouldn't come later and bite them in the ass.

But also, it would let her die in peace knowing that her death wasn't in vain, and they dealt a huge blow to Lycania.

However, the question was, how did the kid know who or what those vampires were? Was there a spy in their midst back in Vania? Could it be that she was fucked over by the ones she was a mere servant to?

"I have my sources and they are reliable enough for me to trust whatever they tell me," Ashton's shrugged his shoulders.

He only had one source of information, and that was called [Detection]. For some unknown reason, ever since he came back from the island of Doom, his [Detection] Skill was behaving differently.

Not only he could see all of the information that was usually hidden from him due to the difference between levels, but he also could also see new information like the profession, history, and temperament of his targets.  It was as if someone had activated the god mode of his ability.

He had used the skill on each and everyone one of the vampires as soon as they got into his sights. As a result, he knew that the so-called professors weren't exactly professors, but hired killers and informed his own team about it.

"In fact, as we speak- Sorry, I meant as I speak, your mercenaries are being taken care of by my people. So I guess I'm still having the last laugh. Oh... fck!" Ashton let out an exaggerated sigh, "I almost forgot to do one thing."

Before Camilla could realise what he was talking about, Ashton skewered her neck with his razor-sharp teeth. Unlike his preys from before, Camilla's blood tasted disgusting. So much so that Ashton wanted to puke it out the instant his lips touched her blood.

But he immediate swallowed whatever he could before rinsing the foul taste in his mouth with a chunk of her flesh.

Due to the inefficiency of [Skill Absorption], only partial absorption could happen. As a result, the active skill [Saintly Wind Sorcery (lvl 10)] has been turned into an active skill [Intermidiate Wind Sorcery (lvl 3)].

(Note: The user is recommended to upgrade [Skill Absorption] as soon as they can.)

"Shit... I always forget to level that shit up. How many points do I need?" Ashton couldn't believe he forgot such an important thing.

[Current vampire skill points: 27]

"Just enough points to level it up huh... whatever, it's not like I'm going to upgrade any other skill so soon."

[Are you sure you want to use 25 Vampire skill points to upgrade the skill: <Skill Absorption>?]

'Nah, I was joking... just do it already.'

[Congratulations! <Skill Absorption> had been successfully levelled up. You can now completely absorb and imitated any level 5 or below skill.]

"... you took fucking 25 points for this bullshit upgrade?"

Ashton was in a foul mood since he thought he would at least be allowed to copy a level 10 skill without any problems, but that wasn't the case. However, he couldn't stay in a bad mood for long. The barrier had started to fade away and as a result, he needed to move quickly.

Thankfully, Sven and his new skeletal soldiers immediately got to work and brought him as much flesh as they could. Ashton gobbled them all up and what happened next exceeded his expectations.

"Level 21... the same as the werewolf genes? The heck? Am I in a dream or some shit?"

Ashton mumbled in his surprised voice but before he could rejoice the fact, Sven politely nudged him and pointed toward Camilla's corpse with his sword.

"You want me to resurrect her?"

Sven nodded, "She... strong. Good Ally."

"Even if you say that, I'm not sure I can do that..." Ashton scratched his head, "But I guess there's no harm in trying. Resurrect!"

[Unique Skill: Resurrect has been activated.]

[Level 30 Vampire has been selected as the target.]

[Caution: The host's level is lower than the target's. Resurrection has only a 63.34% chance of success.]

Ashton yelled and a moment later, the familiar bluish magic circle appeared underneath Camilla's corpse, summoning the power of darkness to engulf the corpse. The darkness forced Camilla's body to change forms and come back to life. Starting from the edges of her limbs, the black particles slowly made their way into her body.

Ashton carefully watched as her appearance changed right in front of his eyes. The process was similar to that Sven went through when Ashton had resurrected him, but at the same time, it was somewhat different.

The moment Ashton had resurrected the knight, the change in his stats was visibly noticeable. However, in Camilla's case, the only change was in the form of her shadowy attire. It appeared the power of death had taken inspiration from the armour she was wearing as she died.

Even in death, she was just as exposed as she had been alive, with the exception of the long shadow-like hood and cape covering her face and back. By the time Camilla was resurrected, Ashton realised some obvious differences between her and Sven.

While Sven was completely made of darkness, Camilla had retained some of her physical features. Apart from her armour, her skin was just as pale as it had been before. But her eyes were completely black, holding the power of deathly winds in them.

[Resurrection successful.]

[You have risen a lvl 35 Dark Sorceress. You can now view their details in the <Summons> tab of your system.]

[Due to restraint on numbers of summons the host can store inside [Valhalla] and control successfully, the number of skeleton soldiers has been reduced to 4.]

[Total number of summons: 7/7]

[The user is recommended to increase his intelligence by 30 points before using [resurrection] again. Or else, more skeleton soldiers will have to be sacrificed.]
