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

—–

Fenrir would prove to be a strong ally. Unlike Orcus he doesn’t have as much overwhelming strength, but he has greater agility and intellect, which helps at listening to my own commands. The higher the intellect of beast spirits, the easier they can listen to my commands and also comprehend what I am saying. Orcus is very strong and can do simple things if I tell him to “charge” or “attack with all you got”, but anything remotely more complex enters through one of his ears and come from the other, he’s a dumb pig.

But Fenrir is different, his intelligence is rather high, making him very capable of learning and listening to commands, like normal real life dogs. Beast spirits also seem to same their memories even if they die. If they die, the ones I summon later will be able to recall what they learned before, so they constantly learn new tricks and more things. Fenrir evolved version also gives him greater senses of smell, making him an excellent tracker.

However, there’s the third beast spirit which I cannot forget, as he’s even more intelligent than the evolved Fenrir despite being smaller and weaker, and even one rank lower… and that’s the Walking Mushroom Spirit, which I named Spore.

The Spirit Orbs for Walking Mushrooms are not hard to come by, I always buy them whenever I find them in the market, Spore only needs 8 more to evolve, so he’s getting closer to getting a new Skill and even better stats. I hope he can learn magic next to use that Intelligence he got. And different from the conventional Walking Mushrooms, he’s much more appealing to the eyes, as he resembles a big red-cap mushroom with white dots on top, with small legs and arms and a little face. It seems to always be slightly sleepy, but Spore is surprisingly attentive to my words, his 40 Intelligence does not betray me, despite being rather weak, he’s also speedy with 20 Agility, so he can run around stealthily and wait for an ambush to use Poisonous Spore, his signature Skill.

Much like the actual Walking Mushrooms, if not even better, Spore can unleash poisonous spores that could cause some status effects. I can produce my own poison, but Tier 1 Poison is very weak and cannot do much, Paralyzing eye consumes precious demonic energy so I cannot give myself the luxury of using it all the time and waste this energy, so Spore comes into place when I need to weaken a strong foe, or a group of foes.

His Poisonous Spore generates a cloud which can spread for a handful of meters, it can cause dizziness, damage over time, and slight paralysis that might last only a few seconds, but those few seconds is all we need to take down small fry.

I was rather pumped up to go hunting by myself and test the potential of my new Spirit Beast Summons, so after having dinner, I immediately jumped off the window. I have waited a week and a half since I’ve gained any sort of EXP, and I was growing bored, to be honest, so I decided to immediately go into the forest. I know my bounds, I’ve defeated a woman stronger than even that Oni from back then, so I know how far I can reach, if something bad happens or a foe I cannot defeat shows up, I don’t really mind escaping.

But the thing I want the most honestly are spirit orbs and EXP. I want more spirit orbs from Gray Wolves, Walking Mushrooms, and Wild Boars to strengthen my spirit beasts, but it seems that monsters are all being eaten up by the demons, which is a pain. But I might as well still try to find anything I can kill. If I can find some new monster, I could add it to my group of summons as well.

I’ve been investigating more about the region where I am living and everything else, mostly my investigation is biased towards “monster spots” which are known as places where monsters are seen commonly. Our entire village is surrounded by a big forest where demons are overturning it, so to get to a spot with new monsters I would need to cross it and reach the Far Green Grassy Plains, which is a large piece of land covered completely by grass, with barely any trees, in that place it is said that giant snakes, slimes, and even boars and bull monsters show up rather commonly. Demons have yet to reach such an area as it is very far away from here. I might be able to get there flying, but for now I will limit my hunting grounds to the forest.

Eric invited me to go to his house yesterday, so I will be coming tomorrow morning. He seems to want me to show the magic I’ve taught to him to his parents, perhaps they want to learn it from me, and in exchange he promised me to pay me with alchemy recipes, flasks, and rare ingredients. His parents run a small shop which sells potions and medicine, so it is a good place to investigate all of that. Eric has become even more valuable as a friend.

“Fenrir!”

I summoned 7 Fenrirs this time, only leaving 3 Orcus, and also 2 Spores which are sitting inside of my shadows. I made the Fenrir spread around me, while I mounted the “alpha” which is the assigned leader of the Fenrir pack.

“Woof!”

“Quiet down!”

“Awroo…”

“Asmodeus you don’t have to be so rude with the fluffy Fenrir…”

Eleanora seemed to love the dogs. I remember we once had a three-headed dog in my previous life, she was very fond of the creature… I wonder if I will be able to summon him once more.

Or maybe… is Fenrir…?

…No, there’s no way.
