Chapter 38 38: Conquered Bloodline - Vampiric Deity [2]
Lucifer\'s scream echoed in his mind, and Gwen\'s shocked her back to focus as the claws stopped, wrapped around her bloody neck, now grasping at his head, seeming to be in pain...
"Agh!?"
She looked up, seeing the struggling bewitched Lucifer... with her right arm barely holding the spear, she lunged it straight into his chest... with a loud pop... the blade just missed his heart... but a strange red crystal was cracked before it crumbled and started to be dissolved into his blood like powder...
"Ugh... wench...! I won\'t... forget your face...!"
The crystal was the former abyssal deity\'s core... Though shallow, that crack let its demonic essence seep out, forming a sticky dark liquid already filling his wounds.
A few moments later, the dark, strange atmosphere faded.... before the pair fell to the ground, both too wounded to remain conscious...
After they collapsed, both grimoires began to shine... before two white-haired beauties in black dresses came out... they were identical in every way... both moving to the side of Gwen and Lucifer... stroking each of their heads.
Rather than twins, they were merely the same person mirrored... Likely placed in the grimoire of these two people due to their relationship or by her desire.
"Hello me!"
"Hello me!"
"Let\'s help these idiots!"
"Mmmm, let\'s help sister... and brother-in-law..."
"Tsk... finally, we are together, so I can use my true power..."
"Shall we remove the memories of this event and restore the forest completely?"
"Mmmm, also... make sure that bastard from the abyss cannot return... brother-in-law deserves better."
"Aye, aye~."
"Sister\'s tits got bigger... is she getting surgery secretly?"
"Mmmm, maybe this planet has better nutrients?"
"Should we come to visit?"
"..."
The two looked at each other, pointing one arm into the sky as a huge divine barrier filled the area, the golden light restoring the forest, dead animals, and monsters rapidly...
All the townspeople started to move in reverse—their actions were rather amusing as the light also helped heal the wounded Gwendolyn and Lucifer, slowly revealing the pair as now completely fine.
Woosh!
Her barrier expanded before it exploded, now her from Gwen\'s grimoire carrying her back to the shack, and the main body sat on a rock watching Lucifer with a strange look, throwing rocks at him.
"Idiot... I warned you... Now you are never going to have that peaceful life..."
"But... you were cool... holding back an existence that preceded even the angels... even for a few moments to let me and my sister destroy his core..."
Her light body slipped off the stone, watching his peaceful breathing as he slept, the only thing she regretted was now his bloodline, and that bastard had completely fused...
It was good that the bastard had been killed by her divinity of doom, but Lucifer\'s soul was now branded with the blood of the betrayer... the first vampire deity... and the last.
"Is it irony that he was also named Lucifer... and his wife was a former angel... Lanza... The great traitors... but why..." Her eyes closed, thinking of the image of her sister and the man now lying before her... "Why does it seem like it was planned... Fated even? Which fucker is pulling the strings..."
"Mwah.." Her soft lips pressed against Lucifer\'s forehead before she skipped away, her body fading rapidly.
"It looks like my power has been wasted on this man slut... haha.... let\'s make sure to collect a lot of interest later..."
She turned back to the sleeping Lucifer before her mouth opened, "By the way... my true name is Sylvia~ my dear brother-in-law."
A strange voice flowed on the breeze before entering his ears. Her magic would make him remember it forever, no matter how vague the dreams he was having might seem.
***
Lucifer experienced a strange dream... He was a miserable man... unable to like his face... a broken relationship with his family... his mother... a sexual relationship with his step-sister...
The images and memories showed countless people, women... a man named Ethan who was sure to be his enemy... a beautiful Arachne... named Marina... The beautiful woman who supported and loved him all his life... Carmilla Van Scarlet...
A woman who supported him...
Hundreds... thousands of memories flooded his mind... but like a faint dream... slowly, like the morning dew on the grass, they evaporated...
As slowly he awoke from sleep...
Remembering only one... His sister-in-law... or step-sister... Sylvia... their names... faces and bodies different... but something in his heart and mind told him they were the same...
"Fuck.... my head feels like I just drank for days..." He cried out... the dizzy feeling and pain remaining to teach him a lesson.
Or so Sylvia thought.
"Hmmm? I can see so far."
"What is this super HDR vision!? Why can I see even the specs of dust... the distant animals.. when I focus!? Is that... wolf shit! Ugh... my eyes are so good! I am glad it\'s not my damn nose..."
\'Is this my bloodline ability?\'
"The bloodline...? Did it work?"
His right arm weakly swiped across the left arm that seemed unable to move well for some reason...
The familiar grimoire with the new cover opened onto the bloodline page...
What was detailed there caused him to feel like he hit the jackpot.
[The Crimson Eclipse]
An ancient and formidable bloodline known as the Crimson Eclipse emerges within the shadows of vampire legends. At its helm stands a mysterious god, the evil vampire whose power surpasses all others within this legendary lineage.
Harnessing the essence of darkness and vampiric might gives birth to the ultimate form of the Crimson Eclipse bloodline through a transcendent transformation known as "Eclipse Ascendancy."
When Lucifer activates this ability, his vampiric form undergoes a dramatic metamorphosis, unveiling a fearsome manifestation of his dark power.
[Veins of Eternity]: As Lucifer\'s body transforms, his veins pulse with otherworldly crimson energy, radiating an aura of malice. These veins act as conduits, channelling the bloodline\'s power to its fullest extent.
With each beat, they grant him enhanced strength, speed, and regenerative capabilities.
[Abyssal Wings]: From Lucifer\'s back emerges a pair of massive, bat-like wings with feathers as dark as the deepest night. These wings allow him to soar through the air with an unnerving grace and swift agility, allowing him to strike from above and intimidate his foes with their menacing presence.
[Infernal Claws]: Lucifer\'s hands transform into wicked, clawed appendages, each talon as sharp as a demon\'s fang. Bathed in a crimson aura, these claws can rend through flesh and bone, leaving a trail of devastation in their wake.
[Shadowsight]: In his transformed state, Lucifer\'s eyes glow with an unholy light, granting him the power of Shadowsight. He can peer into the depths of darkness itself, perceiving hidden truths, detecting even the faintest movements, and sensing the fears and weaknesses of his adversaries.
[Scarlet Oblivion]: Lucifer can unleash a devastating ultimate technique when he reaches the pinnacle of his Eclipse Ascendancy.
He can summon an explosive surge of concentrated darkness and flames by channelling the accumulated dark energy within his transformed body. This explosive force engulfs his foes, shrouding them in an abyss of eternal night, where their essence is consumed, leaving nothing but oblivion in its wake.
Lucifer\'s transformative power, Eclipse Resurgence, allows him to transcend his vampiric form, ascending to a devilish state of unparalleled darkness and malice within the Crimson Eclipse bloodline.
In this form, he becomes a relentless harbinger of chaos, striking fear into the hearts of all who stand against him.
"It looks cool and all, but why does it speak about me in a different tense? Shouldn\'t it say you if it\'s about me? Strange..."
A slight oversight that he might have understood if the memories didn\'t fade when he awoke... Those memories of the fallen Abyssal god can only surface during his dreams...
Who knows what kind of fate and effect this might have on the future of the old man who became Lucifer...
Or the world he now resides.
