Vampire Summoner's Rebirth: Summoning The Vampire Queen At The Start-Chapter 1001: Moving Forward

-----

After Cattalina took care of the runaway Cultists and Blake killed the Dragon Born leading the army, the rest of the party made sure to clean the tunnel off any monster, while Blake's army of Familiars swiftly took care of any other Draconic Beast or Demon within the surface above, which ended being roughly a thousand more to defeat.

He lamented slightly that he couldn't level up anymore though, but at the very least the EXP he learned was being accumulated.

Once he was done, Blake left those familiars outside so they would continue protecting the barrier. And quickly walked back inside the tunnel with Cattalina. With the power of his Domain of Creation and his other related Skills, he fully repaired the barrier and the tunnel, but he still left those Familiars just in case.

"T-This was… I never thought such a thing would happen out of nowhere…" Lady Everfrost was still afraid of what she had seen just now.

Blake couldn't blame her, it was indeed quite a lot, but even now, it was something he had been expecting for a while now, it was clear they wanted to make it feel like an accident, even though they were directly aiming for her life in specific.

"Mother, calm down… I've grown stronger, I will protect you and Sapphirus no matter what," Elfriedden hugged his mother, comforting her while Sapphirus had already fallen asleep after crying so much.

"Elfriedden, my son…" Lady Everfrost felt her son's comfort. "I'm glad you're here…"

"It's okay… I won't go anywhere…" Elfriedden sighed. "Dammit… Was this truly an accident?"

"It obviously wasn't," Blake said.

"Yeah, it definitely feels like it was staged," nodded Erdrich. "There were cultists outside, the barrier was also apparently purposely weakened too, right?" Keep exploring on novelbuddy freēnovelkiss.com

"That's right," Blake nodded. "Mother-in-law and Elizabeth just checked it before I repaired the tunnel. The barrier was much stronger, but it was purposely weakened so the cultists could break it easily and enter."

"W-What? But who would do such a thing, and why?" Everfrost asked.

"It's quite obvious why, right, Elfriedden?" Blake looked into his friend's eyes.

"Dammit…" Elfriedden gritted his teeth. "Mother, father… he might have plotted our deaths."

"What?!" Everfrost couldn't believe it. "H-He did such a thing? But why? I am fairly sure I had never revealed my intentions and-"

"I don't think it matters if you did or not, Everfrost," Cattalina stepped in. "Your husband seems to no longer be himself for years, right? You can begin to guess why that might be… Even more if he as purposely weakened the barrier just when all of us were moving underground."

Lady Everfrost's eyes widened.

"S-So he's… not just a corrupt man? He…" she muttered.

"We still have no confirmation about that though," Blake said. "We'll have to find that out ourselves. In the meeting… Now that things have gone back to normal rather forcefully so, and perhaps anticlimactically for them, we'll go to the city as we planned."

"Wait, are you serious? Shouldn't we return to rest and plan something out?" Elfriedden asked.

"Doing so would only raise more suspiciousness, we need to show that we are still clueless that's them, to walk directly into a tiger's den," Blake explained. "And then, when the tiger believes we are just helpless fawns… We reveal we are a rabid pack of wolves and attack it together."

"Sounds a bit extreme…" Erika said. "I really hope there's nothing wrong with them. If so, it would be even more insane if we learned that… Well, the whole royal family might be involved in this entire conspiracy."

"But why would they want to destroy their own country? It just doesn't make any sense!" Elizabeth said.

"Maybe it would made sense in the mind of a lunatic," Blake explained. "We'll find out once we see it, as I said. Lady Everfrost, if you want, you could return with your child. Mother-in-law can create an illusion of you and your son. There's no need to risk your life."

"T-That's right mother, you don't need to go, just go back to the port city for now…" said Elfriedden.

"No, I'm going…" Everfrost sighed. "I need to confront him, if he's truly… if he has truly done this, then he's long gone. I need to learn who did this!"

"But mother!" Elfriedden tried to argue against her.

"No buts, Elfriedden," his mother said. "I won't change my mind… I trust in everyone here that you can protect us."

"Of course," Cattalina nodded. "Leave that to me. I appreciate your courage, Everfrost. It's rare for you to show such a facet."

"D-Do you have to rub it on my face, Cattalina?" sighed Everfrost.

"Heh, well, let's find out what's happening here," Cattalina nodded.

Blake quickly noticed that these two talked in a certain way, perhaps friendly in some matter. He assumed they might have shared schools at some point, or might have gone to the same academy, after all both were long-lived, so it wasn't an impossible estimation.

"We've already helped the people evacuate back to the port city!"

Eric, Chris, and Alberta came running from the opposite direction, bringing the good news.

"Good, if everything is done, then let's proceed- Ah, let me fix this," Blake casually waved his hand, his Mana flowed like countless streams of azure color.

Everfrost and the rest of his friends were still speechless each time he used his Creation Skills, which defied all common sense.

FLASH!

The entire car was reconstructed completely within seconds, as good as new.

"This is the power I obtained after evolving Alchemy to its limits, and then surpass it even further," Blake explained. "Although I also consider it a gift of the Holy Spirits…"

The truth was that, although such Skills were "gifts" through the Creator Talent he had unlocked, they would be completely useless with most people.

Only Blake, as Asmodeus, had experienced what True Creation Magic was, as he had reached such an advanced stage back on his previous life, when he used his Cosmic-level Alchemy to bend the rules of physics and reality to a small extent.

The principles of these Creation Skills were the exact same, if not slightly stronger, so it felt natural to Blake to use them, and certainly, it was like just getting that power back than being gifted one out of nowhere.

"What are you looking at? Let's move," Blake had no time for explanations about his abilities.
