[You have fully digested the powerful Vampires you've consumed.]

[You gained +200.000 Essence.]

[You gained +100.000 All Stats.]

[You gained +50.000 Cosmic Power.]

[You acquired [Fragment of the Dao of Vampiric Paths] x10]

[You acquired [Vampiric Paths Divinity Fragments] x30]

[You acquired the [Vampiric Path Dao Inscription: Demon Path], [Vampiric Path Dao Inscription: Curse Path], [Vampiric Path Dao Inscription: Beast Path], and [Vampiric Path Dao Inscription: Twins Path]!]

The Dao Fragments I got were from some original Dao of this world. It was called the Dao of Vampiric Paths, and it is most likely related to the Vampires Bloodlines and the "Paths" they take as they cultivate their powers.

I also got their "bloodlines" which come as Dao Inscriptions, special formations of Divine Power, Blood Energy, and Cosmic Power merged together into a solid and tangible magic circle-like creation.

It exists within the Vampiric Path Dao Fragments, and each Inscription opens the way for each certain Path. It is amusing how it works, and it reminds me of my son Alucard's Dao Inscriptions.

I doubt they will be of any help to me, my powers are already much better than these Paths, but they could benefit my Vampires, especially my son who has such high affinity with his Dao of Vampirism and his Dao Inscription across his body.

[You have absorbed the [Fragment of the Primordial Moon Goddess]!]

[Divine Moonlight Essence is now flowing through your body. But it has been quickly assimilated by the Essence Stat!]

[You gained an additional +100.000 Essence.]

Oh, and there it is. So the Fragment is still fused into my own body at the end, huh? Well, she's sleeping right now, recovering her strength by feeding off my own Essence like a little parasite.

At least she gave me a hundred thousand permanent Essence for the hassle, better than nothing!

[You acquired the [Vampire God Slayer: Lv1] Title Skill!]

[Vampire God Slayer: Lv1]

A Unique Title Skill only given to those who have cold-bloodedly slain Vampire Gods in large quantities, and without fearing them. You have hunted the hunters of the night, turning their whole game upside down.

When facing Vampires, Vampiric Beasts, Vampire Gods, and any other Vampire-type foe, All Stats increase by +100%, with an additional +25% with each Skill Level. Your attacks can deal up to +200% Damage, with an additional +20% with each Skill Level. Additionally, you can ignore their Immunities and 20% of their Total Defenses.

Increases the Digestion and Absorption of Vampires and their Souls by +500%, giving you a greater ability to assimilate their powers for yourself.

Pretty good Title! The only Skill I got out of this but its already amazing. With this, facing even the most frightening members of these Vampire Families shouldn't be too hard, right? Though it almost makes me wish they had the Title themselves so they wouldn't die so easily.

[You have cold-bloodedly slain and eaten four powerful Vampires of the Dracul Family!]

[The Leaders of the Dracul Family have already set their eyes on you.]

[The King of the Dracul Family is wary of your existence.]

[The Queen of the Dracul Family desires your prompt death.]

Hmm, ah.

Well, those messages came out nowhere. Are they related to my own Senses combining themselves with the Origin System's notification abilities? I guess anything I "sense" which is catalogued as of some value will quickly appear as a System Message to help me understand it more easily. Quite handy.

And indeed, the presences of the King and the Queen were very powerful, unlike the cannon fodder I ate merrily, these guys are the real deal. Ancient Governors of the world of vampires and the dangerous Dracul Family of warmongers.

I know a lot more about them after I absorbed and achieved all the memories from these four Vampires. All I can say is that they were quite the arrogant pricks. I am baffled to know they didn't even have some sort of bond as family, they were only thinking about when they could eat each other.

After seeing the Blood God cry I really thought they still had some emotions to them… Maybe it is just the Vampires of the Dracul Family that are all raised like this? I sure hope the Nosferatu and the Hecatenian Families aren't as bloodthirsty warmongering bastards!

Then again, World of Vampires should have already ringed some bells. I should just be prepared to fight absolute monsters anywhere. I don't think they can even be considered people. Those twins in specific killed their younger siblings and drank their blood!

Just so they could continue with their positions within the family.

Maybe I am in no position to comment over what they have done, but I am fairly sure I've redeemed myself with every single innocent I've hurt.

After all I've revived everyone! Even all the people from the plains I once went absolutely monstrous against. They're alive and kicking inside my divine realm, finally living their lives.

So I guess I've redeemed myself enough to say something about these vampires, at the very least.

They're fucked up.

"Blood God, how did things get exactly this bad?" I asked him. "Did you teach your children to kill one another?! As a mother myself, that's not something that has ever, EVER passed through my damn head before!"

"Ah… Well, I was harsh with them. It is a world where only the strong survives…" He said, looking elsewhere. "I did not tell them to… kill their own siblings though. I would have appreciated if they protected one another as family too. I suppose that my words might have been twisted by the families. Though, I have to admit I was wicked, well, I am still quite wicked and insane."

"Maybe I am the weird one trying to be better, maybe I've been influenced by the morality of my wives and friends. But it is something I want to continue on believing." I sighed.

"Well, it is indeed what makes you so unique and multi-

dimensional as a person, Kireina." Lucifer smiled. "While it could be so easy to let yourself go loose and get lost on your own power, you manage to strike a balance. And even when you overdid it in your younger days, you've redeemed yourself and even compensated and helped those you hurt. But even then, as we saw against those Vampires, you're not na?ve either. You're quite the merciless queen when push comes to shove."

"I-I guess… Maybe I did go a bit brutal on them. But I did warn them! I told them to just leave it be or let me pass." I said. "I guess that's enough, right?"

"More than enough, in this Universe, you shouldn't really even warn people. You've done sufficient. If they desire death so badly, simply bring it to them." Lucifer licked her lips. "Now, there seems to be a long road towards our destination. The skies are rupturing and more Spiritual Essence is falling and contaminating Abyss. The Outer Gods lurk above the black clouds. I wonder what's next? The Dracul Family is approaching us as we speak, isn't it?"

"Hahh… Yep, they sent a squad of like twelve Vampires." I sighed, slightly exhausted. "They're catching up with us even as we fly at this speed. We might need to warp now. Come with me."

I quickly grabbed her with my arms and warped through space as fast as I could.

FLASH!

"Oh my, you sure carry me like a delicate princess, Kireina." Lucifer gently caressed my face, kissing my cheek.

"W-What are you doing?!" I cried.

She's really getting on my nerves…
