Vampire Summoner's Rebirth: Summoning The Vampire Queen At The Start-Chapter 1037: Revealing The Truth
-----
After that touching moment, everything went back to normal, Chris came into terms with what he had become, and we finished breakfast in harmony. Everyone was healthy and safe, and that was enough for me to be happy.
My Vampire Spirits had recovered very quickly thanks to the powers of the crystal tree that was formed inside my Spiritual Realm, I’ll ask them to help on rebuilding the city that was destroyed, the Rosenheim Dukedom, but that’s for later.
There were important matters we needed discuss, perhaps too many. First of all was about me, and my previous life. Erika and Elizabeth told me it wasn’t necessary to address it anymore. They had talked with everyone and seemed to simply not care about what past I had, they would still be my friends no matter what.
Although I appreciate their loyalty, I also must tell them what I know and the truth completely, so there are no more doubts in their hearts about me. After all, being acquittanced with Archdemons was not something that they would take easily, no matter how much they try to convince me otherwise.
I summoned all my Vampire Spirits as they would be needed to explain things further, they were friends of my past life after all.
Slowly, I told them the truth, of what I could recall my first life was, about the origin of my powers, the things we did, the battles we had, the enemies we made, and finally, the last battle against Lucifer, where Asmodeus died.
The truth that Lucifer had revived me to mock me and have a rematch was something they never expected, even less that the Grimoire I had, which everyone assumed was my Spirit, was also his gift, one I’ve made my own after the Holy Spirits modified it and turned it into their own Divine Artifact, away from Lucifer’s control.
"And that’s pretty much everything…" I said.
"Well, that answers a lot of things…" Chris said. "From how you knew so many techniques, to the Vampire powers you have, your cultivation, your magic circle, martial arts… Everything. They weren’t special techniques or powers you figured out but something from your previous life knowledge!"
"Yeah, it’s amazing…" Eric nodded. "And to think there’s a huge Universe out there, it makes me really curious about visiting that world, and everything out there that awaits us…"
"I wouldn’t really get excited about that, as he said, the Universe outside is dangerous. If Spiritias is really like a dimension of its own, its better to stay here than to go outside…" Erdrich sighed.
"Seeing how my continent has been ravaged, I wouldn’t say it is so different from the Universe outside…" Elfriedden sighed, crossing his arms.
"Wait a second…" Alberta muttered. "But then… D-Doesn’t this means you’re very old, Blake? Like, aren’t you like a grandpa then?"
"He would be older than me by far…" muttered Cattalina. "I am a bit surprised… Is it okay for Erika and Elizabeth to be with him now? I-I don’t really know…"
"Hmm, I don’t identify as Asmodeus anymore, I do remember many of his memories, but it is something like… Reading a book of a different character. The book tells me I was this person, I know the contents of the book are my memories too, but it simply doesn’t feel like me anyways," I answered.
"Asmodeus’ knowledge has made me wise, but I still feel like who I am, and what you’re looking at, I am Blake, not Asmodeus…"
"I see…" Cattalina nodded. "It still a bit surprising, but the way you put it is a bit more relieving. I’m sorry if I sounded rude…"
"No, I completely understand why you would think that way," I nodded, sighing. "If Erika and Elizabeth find that my answer is not enough… I would understand if you were to leave me, it’s fine. I… I don’t want to creep you out or something, and I’m sorry if I already did…"
"N-No, Blake, don’t say that!" Erika pouted. "I-It is as you said, you’re Blake, Asmodeus is Asmodeus! You’re two separate entities, you’re my sweet boyfriend, not some old vampire or whatever. You got his knowledge but you’re you!"
"I agree," Elizabeth smiled sweetly. "And even then, I wouldn’t even care either way, I’m already in love with you… I said that I wouldn’t change how I felt no matter what, right?"
"Is this… really okay?" I sighed. "I don’t want you to regret this later… Or feel disgusted."
"We won’t!"

"Stop it!"
Erika and Elizabeth quickly stopped me from talking about these things anymore.
They hugged me, and kissed my cheek at the same time, then, they took turns to kiss my lips.
"We love you!" Erika smiled. "It doesn’t matter what your past life was… After all, didn’t all our souls reincarnate too, according to what you discovered about the Cycle of Souls? Technically, all our souls perhaps lived countless other lives. We don’t remember them though, but still, we aren’t different."
"Yeah," Elizabeth nodded. "You simply remember that past life really well, like you read it as a book, as you said."
"I… I guess you beat me," I nodded. "Fine… And thank you, for being there for me and saying all these things. It is corny, yes, but it has made me feel better. At the beginning of my life, I struggled with my identity. These memories of Asmodeus told me I should be like him, but I was ultimately still developing as someone else.
The demons call me by that name, and I’ll take it as a second name to honor my previous life… But I am Blake."
"Well said!" Chris nodded.
"Sorry for asking that," Alberta said. "I know you’re a very good person, Blake! Don’t worry!"
"Yeah, that’s right…" Eric nodded. "And, err, well, your Vampires are a bit different, they’re truly the same as before, right?"
"Yeah, more or less," nodded Eleanora. "Some of us didn’t get to live long, and weren’t even vampires before like Saphira and Eriant, so they have a second opportunity to live the life they couldn’t before."
"That’s fantastic…" Cattalina nodded. "I would love to talk with all of you about so many things!"
At the end, everyone got even more along with my Vampire Spirits than I imagined.
"I know everyone wants to rest… But there’s something we need to talk about first."
However, Elfriedden brought a new issue we had to solve.
