Epic of Vampire Dragon: Reborn as a Vampire Dragon with a System
Chapter 19: Evolving MiasmaLarge quantities of black fog continued to be poured over many monsters, every single being that was infused with it began to change, even Belphegor.
Chaos extended his hand was this black fog continued to come out almost endlessly, this was the Miasma he was able to create at will, a toxic substance made of Chaos Attribute which possesses a variety of purposes.
In his previous life, he was used as a miasma-making machine until his last days, but now he was finally being able to use it and employ it to his heart's content and to however he wanted.
As Chaos recalled that the Miasma had mutagenic properties, he quickly tried to forcefully mutate the monsters so they could evolve and become stronger.
The same way it happened to Abyss, who surprisingly evolved into a Shoggoth Maid after receiving the Miasma from Chaos.
Poof!
Suddenly, one of the monsters finally evolved.
It was a Cursed Broom! A simple broom that was infused with a small soul and was cursed, being able to move by itself and… well, clean things up. They lacked any offensive or defensive abilities, but they rather touched because the wood they were made of was hardened by the evil spirit inside, so they could still kill a weak Orc by smacking them in the head.
Chaos, Abyss, and Belphegor all glanced with interest in what could a broom even transform into.
It suddenly began to grow, its wood expanded, and it gained five new branches, with crew larger and larger… then, leather appeared out of thin air, and even more straw!
"Wait… is this?" wondered Chaos, as he saw that the first Broom converted into a…
"A Scarecrow?" asked Belphegor in shock.
Indeed, the Cursed Broom became a Cursed Scarecrow, and it even had two legs, arms, and a head made of straw covered by leather which had painted a face, a happy and relaxed one.
It was rather surprising, but this was what a Cursed Broom could evolve into!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtChaos quickly checked its stats, finding that the Monster went from D-Rank all the way to S-Rank! His Miasma had incredibly powerful properties to evolve monsters!
However, it seemed that it worked once, as the Scarecrow didn't undergo any more changes.
The monster had become a Cursed Scarecrow, and it possessed the ability to actually curse beings with powerful curses that caused horror, confusion, and could even paralyze.
It also could use its sharp wooden claws, infusing mana into them to make them stronger. Additionally, it possessed a talent for gardening and tending the crops, with an ability named [Gardening].
The Scarecrow walked towards Chaos as it spoke.
"Ah, my lord, I thank you for giving me the possibility of evolving. I was merely a broom, but now, I can move, I have limbs, and more importantly, I can speak! How wonderful," it said.
It had a very eloquent voice as well!
"No problem, glad you're stronger now… Do you have a name?" asked Chaos.
"Oh, no, but I would be glad if you could bless me with one," said the Scarecrow.
"Hm… Jack," said Chaos, as a flow of Mana rushed into Jack, enhancing him further, and making him an SS-Rank right away!
"Ohhh! I have grown even stronger now… Thank you very much, my lord," said Jack, as he lowered his head and kneeled.
Suddenly, he summoned a scythe out of nowhere… Chaos realized that this was part of his own body, like living armors having swords and shields that were also part of them, Scarecrows were not so different as they were made of inanimate objects who were possessed by a spirit. Albeit summoning a material out of nowhere was not particularly normal…
Jack had become a Cursed Scarecrow Lord, and Chaos even saw as a dark cape grew out of his wooden neck, and his body became taller and more intimidating.
"Amazing… SS-Rank from a mere D-Rank!" said Belphegor.
"Master is amazing at this! Can I evolve again too?" asked Abyss.
"Sorry, I think you can't evolve again, you've received all I could give," said Chaos, petting Abyss's head.
"Oh… Is this why I am so strong?" asked Abyss.
"Most likely, Abyss," said Chaos.
The evolution-fest continued for around two more hours, as the evolutions took some time to end, and after that Chaos wanted to name every single one of these little and measly monsters as well to give them one last boost.
Will-o-wisps became Ghosts after the miasma, and after being named each Ghost attained some kind of element, there were Inferno Ghosts that used fire, Storm Ghosts that had wind, Dark Ghosts that could wield darkness, and even the rare Bright Ghost, who could use light! All of them were S-Rank, from measly E-Rank monsters such as Will-o-wisps who can barely hurt a weak orc child, this was a great jump!
Living Statues became Golems after the miasma, and then after being named, they evolved into powerful and tall Colossus, all of them were strong human-shaped golems, some even grew ores and crystals over their bodies, which could be harvested and would grow over time, they were all qualified as SS-Rank. Their sizes varied from 7 to 10 meters.
Living Armors became Living Armor Soldiers after the miasma, and then after being named they became Living Armor Knights, all of them also gained some special magic weapon that they were able to generate, they became swifter at using all kinds of weapon techniques and gained greater cooperation with one another, the leader of the living armors became a Living Armor General, growing as tall as 4 meters, with an intimidating black armor design. All of them were qualified as S-Rank, while the General was SS-Rank.
Belphegor was already given mana before, but after being bathed in the Miasma, he evolved into a Prometheus Infernal Skull, reaching the pinnacle of X-Rank, only a few steps before becoming a Pseudo-Demi-Deity! His flames became incredibly strong, almost divine-like, and his skull grew also very big, the size of a cow.
The two skeleton guards also evolved after the miasma, albeit they were already named like Belphegor. Oserius and Padhur went from Skeleton Death Knights to Spectral Skeleton Death Emperors, gaining powerful weapons like living armor did, and becoming powerful monsters at almost the pinnacle of X-Rank as well!
Form whatever remained from his father's army and servants, Chaos made them into formidable beings!
Although they were still a little group of monsters compared to the enormous army his father once had, this was still great progress to making his army of monsters and Undead.
Although Chaos could do everything by himself, after having lived for so long in desolation on his past life, being given so many allies and strong servants to rely on filled his heart with fulfillment… this was the exact thing his father wanted for him.
However, things didn't end here, as all of Chaos' servants used his Mana to mass-produce materials!
Indeed, the Living Armors mass-produced magic armor and weapons through their Equipment Creation Skills, while the Colossus made all sorts of ores and crystals.
After a few minutes, there was a big pile of magical materials and equipment… and it was all for him to eat, of course!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe quickly began to munch into everything and tasted the textures… it was all hard, bitter, and cold, so he swallowed it quickly because there was nothing much to enjoy…
Amongst the things, he ate there were armor that offered resistance to certain elements, weapons that produced fire or winds, jewels that contained mana of certain attributes named Spirit Stones, and magic ore that contained a lot of resistance too.
