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

-----

The pits greeted us with their lugubrious dark mists, there were many Undead congregated surrounding it, glancing down below at the Nether boiling within the depths.

This was the Nether that would grant me the power of conjuring Necromancy, by extracting it, it transforms into Necrotic Energy, there was nothing much to see here, but I needed to extract as much as possible to begin saving my reserves of this energy.

After being allowed by the Holy Spirit of Death, it shouldn't be too hard to wield this energy and create a reserve of it within my body, or well, it would be better within my soul.

This Necrotic Energy is the pure essence of Decay, Phantoms, and Death, a very rich energy source for any Warlock or Necromancer, which grants them unprecedented power.

However, usually, Necromancers cannot produce this energy themselves, and need to slowly refine it out of their own Souls through a special meditation ritual on top of a necrotic pillar to some sort of Death God of their choosing.

Or so I believed Necromancers usually worked back in the Universe out there, however, in Spiritias, things are much easier.

The Necromancer we fought back then, the old man Dylan, was gifted with a Necromancer Talent and Spirits capable of helping him on his resurrection of the dead.

He had Skills and even stronger magic, and the power of Spiritual Energy further boosting him. By merely using Skills, he created endless Undead as his army.

However, he was the most direct Necromancer, my Necromancy has developed differently, relying not on corpses or summons from the Underworld, but on my own Familiars…

Nonetheless, I still require Necrotic Energy to it to work properly. I bet the Necromancers of the Universe out there would be dying of envy if they saw I had this entire pit for myself.

"Now, let's try something…" I pointed my hand into the pit below. "{Necrotic Extraction}"

FLUOSH!

The boiling Nether started rapidly turning into a black and blue colored energy, flying into my hands and swirling around.

I slowly let it enter my body, feeling like it was quickly turning colder, exposing a life body to Necrotic Energy could eventually kill them.

It was a deadly energy, and also the reason Necromancers' offensive magic wasn't nothing to scoff at either, they didn't only rely on Undead.

Some of them were so powerful they only relied on a few handfuls of strong Undead as their backup, without going around walking with armies of them.

Naturally, Necromancers also had their own unique method of cultivation, which was by refining Necrotic Heart within their Souls, which would turn that part of the soul pitch-black.

However, I had no intentions of doing that for now, because it was eventually detrimental to their souls. And it is a hassle to make one.

So I'll simply move my vast soul and save a spot for it.

FLAAASH!

Ding!

[You have gained +6.000 Necrotic Energy.]

[You have gained +3.000 Necrotic Energy.]

[You have gained +1.000 Necrotic Energy.]

[You have gained +5.000 Necrotic Energy.]

[You have gained +13.000 Necrotic Energy.]

[…]

I kept gaining more and more, until I felt like I hit the limits of my reserves, ending at roughly a million units of Necrotic Energy.

Ding!

[You have reached the maximum amount of Necrotic Energy your soul can store.]

[Further storage without proper Soul Refining might cause permanent damage in the Soul.]

[Necrotic Energy Reserves: 1.017.348]

Not bad! It sadly didn't display in my Status, mostly because it wasn't something like an innate stat, but a resource stored inside of me.

The same could be said of Blood Energy, Shadow Energy, and so on, to an extent…

"Good…" I smiled. "Alright, we're good to go."

"Hmm…" Saphira wondered. "I wonder if I can eat some of it too?"

However, Saphira was glancing down at the pit of Nether, expanding her hands over there and then beginning to absorb the Necrotic Energy.

The Pit could only generate an amount of Nether per day, so it was about to run on empty, the Undead Spirit Beasts looked quite pissed off…

"Saphira, wait. What are you- Oh?"

FLUOSH!

Saphira suddenly saved a large quantity of Necrotic Energy within her, without being negatively affected by it…

Right, Saphira is also a Necromancer-type Spirit, her Vampiric Powers mostly awakening her abilities as a Half-Specter.

However, she can only summon a certain amount of Undead with her skills or raise them for a limited amount of time.

She has a lot of flexibility with how she can make them, but they're time-limited, not permanent, sadly.

Nonetheless…

Ding!

[Saphira] has stored a large quantity of Necrotic Energy!]

[Her reserves seem to be a several times larger than yours. And she doesn't present any issues with saving this energy and use it to further enhance her own magic and skills.]

[Do you wish to transfer the Necrotic Energy into her body instead?]

Suddenly, the Grimoire gave me an unexpected option.

"Papa! I think I can take care of it, you looked a bit on pain! So let me carry the tasty energy for you!" Saphira said. "I feel so strong when it is within my soul!"

"Hmmm, I can't believe how foolish I've been for not thinking about you." I laughed. "Very well, thank you so much, Saphira."

I transferred all the Necrotic Energy to her, and she ended with almost two million, without presenting any problems.

In fact…

Ding!

[Saphira] has accumulated almost two million units of Necrotic Energy within her Spiritual Soul.]

[Due to her great compatibility with it, while carrying this amount, All her Stats have increased by +20% and her Necromancy-related Skills Power and Effects by another +40% every 500k of Necrotic Energy.]

[Current Bonus: +60%/+120%]

"Phew! Burp…" Saphira rubbed her little belly feeling really full after that meal.

"Well, I'll be counting on you to conjure my Necromancy then, Saphira." I smiled, patting her head.

"Sure, papa! Leave it to me!" She nodded, full of confidence. "You don't need to carry all the burdens!"

Right, I was wrong, the Spirits are an extension of a Spirit Master abilities. Relying on her as my bank of Necrotic Energy is not bad nor wrong.

"Thank you." I smiled. "Very well, now that we're done here, shall we go back outside? Let's have breakfast."
