Novel Full Chapter 463 Rose The Dhampir
—–
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Rose, panicking after seeing what she thought was a ghost monster popping up from behind Elayne, began shooting at the Great Spirit.
“Uuuggh! Hey! Stop shooting! Well, not like that can damage me. My life’s connected with Elayne so if you want to take me down you’ll have to kill her, heh.” The Great Spirit said proudly. Which made this situation even more ridiculous due to her being in the shape of a cartoon-like carrot with arms and legs made out of roots.
“W-What is that floating carrot?” Wondered Rose, feeling rather afraid. Depending in how they wanted it, the Great Spirit could either be invisible to others, or visible. However, to become visible to others, they had to naturally have Mana within their bodies.
“T-This? She’s the… Err, a Spirit of Nature. She has the shape of a carrot for a reason.” Elayne said.
“Spirit of Nature?! I am THE Spirit of Nature and- Mmgguh?!”
Elayne quickly grabbed her and shout her mouth, speaking to her through telepathy.
“You already told her my name, stop spilling all the beans! Top secret, remember?! We can’t tell her who we truly are! She’s got a gun too!” Elayne said, as the Great Spirit realized she was being a bit too friendly.
“Ahem… So anyways, that’s… that.” Sighed Elayne.
“So your name’s Elayne.” Said Rose, sighing. “Hah~ You’ve got a pretty name. But what are you anyways?”
“I am… a mother.” Elayne said. “Full time worker in a mini market and… part time magician?”
“T-That’s weird.” Rose sighed. “Usually supernatural beings are always registered in some sort of government-aligned agency. When they aren’t, they’re usually named Outcasts, and are chased down and hunted due to the danger they present to the countries they wander around.”
“EH!?” Elayne was frightened. “I-I haven’t had these powers before, I got them a week ago only!”
“A week ago… Yeah, you didn’t let me finish.” Sighed Rose. “But a week ago, that status quo changed. The government-operated supernatural agencies will soon become rather obsolete now that people around the world, millions, are all gaining super powers. Mostly different types of magic.”
“Due to the First Contact, isn’t it?” Wondered Elayne. “I’ve been training with my friends to stop the monster coming here. His name was Phantasmos, from what we learned by fighting him, he’s a very bad phantom monster coming from another world where the monsters invaded from.”
“I see…” Rose nodded, learning more of the whole context. “Sorry about shooting you. You must have had been an innocent civilian just a few days ago. I guess you’re quite admirable, fighting for your town and all. But amongst all the Awakened people we’ve register, you and your friends are by far tremendously strong.”
“R-Really?” Elayne felt confused, but was afraid of asking about government stuff without getting herself too involved on it.
“Yes, you’re at least as strong as those High Druids or the Spirit Masters that live in Europe…” Sighed Rose. “But you’re different than them in that even your body and clothes are enchanted… Just how many powers did you awakened?”
“Many! We are super duper talented.” The Great Spirit said proudly.
“You’ve even gotten yourself a Spirit Familiar! That’s amazing-”
“Meow!”
Blackie also showed up on Elayne’s shadows. It seems he had been resting this whole time.
“And another monster familiar too? Wow, okay…” Rose felt surprised. “We’ll need to have a talk once… all of this is done. This is the first-time people is trapped inside a “Gate” as we’ve called this phenomenon. I assure is it like a dungeon or ancient crypt, no?”
“Yes, something like that.” Elayne nodded.
“Aside from common knowledge, there are indeed dungeons and ancient crypts in some areas of the world. They’re swarming with traps and monsters made by their creators, but nothing of this caliber.” Rose admired the scenery. “And the smell is horrible. Nether, huh? This is not something you see in such high quantities. Only Dark Mages can create it, and very rarely with tons of necessary materials… These otherworldly monsters are sure a whole new level.”
As the two wandered around the Labyrinthian Caves, Elayne began growing more curious about Rose. Elayne told Rose she could sense her friends, so Rose decided to just follow her because she had no idea where to go.
According to Rose, the Dungeon Phantasmos created strange Mana Signals that disrupted her own supernatural senses, and the smell of the Nether made it impossible for her to smell her friends either.
“Ahhh… Now that you know about me, just who are you, Rose?” Elayne wondered, feeling slightly curious. “I can’t really hold it back anymore. We thought there wouldn’t be any other people out there with super powers before the First Contact, but you said you were a Dhampir, right?” .𝙘𝒐𝒎
“Yes, as you can see your healing wound already healed naturally.” Rose said with a smirk. “I don’t like to talk about my past but let’s say I am a Dhampir that has lived a couple of hundred of years around the world. I was born from a hooker and a vampire father.”
“O-Oh…” Elayne was surprised.
“Both were executed by the Vatican and I was raised by the War Priests in Italy as a Weapon, a tool to kill Vampires, though.” Rose added.
“Oh dear…” Elayne felt shocked.
“Anyways, long story short, I’ve been out of that Vampire Hunting business for almost a hundred years and now I’m working as an agent of SWORD in Canada. It’s a nice country, to be honest. Much better than Britain, my previous home. That place was filled with blokes. Also, was getting bored of the smell of piss on the streets and the monsters following me everywhere.”
“T-There are monsters in Britain?!” Elayne wondered.
“Oh yeah, a bunch. It is a place filled with supernatural families that fight them though.” Sighed Rose. “Of course, not as many as there are now. Hollows and new Mutant Monsters are appearing everywhere, this is not normal at all… Our world is changing, perhaps for the worst. I bet the damn Satanists summoned something from another world and it has begun their invasion. It’s not like it hasn’t happened before, but not in such a global level…”
Elayne felt slightly guilty for not being able to truly explain what had happened in the First Contact, these might be secrets that she better never reveal to strangers.
