Vampire Summoner's Rebirth: Summoning The Vampire Queen At The Start-Chapter 1059: Umbral Crimson Arts

-----

Since I was young that I've been using them without end, and they are the pillars of my fighting style. These two Skills that Eleanora suggested, yeah, I could combine them.

[Blood Arts] and [Shadow Manipulation]!

And she also chose [Demonic Arts] as the third Skill to combine them over with, and I couldn't agree more with her, it was a good choice, they combined well together.

Something amazing could be created, I believe.

"I know you don't want to take too many risks with this Skill Fusion business, but I think it wouldn't be bad if you combined these three Skills together! You could most likely obtain a ridiculous power as well. So why not?" she asked with a smile.

She wasn't wrong, there's no benefits without risking things sometimes.

The previous fusion Skill was already pretty good, and I ended risking several Skills for it.

So we can do the same again, sure.

"Fine, let's do it."

Time to combine the foundation of my strength and create something to surpass it all, Blood, Shadows, and Demonic Arts.

I have something in mind that could come out, but at the end, it could be something completely different altogether.

So let's just do it and see the result already.

Ding!

[You have selected the [Divine Skill Fusion Ticket (Legendary Grade)]!]

[The powers of the [Divine Skill Fusion Ticket (Legendary Grade)] have been activated, please choose three Skills to combine into a Divine Skill.]

[You have chosen the following Skills: [Blood Arts: Lv9], [Shadow Manipulation: lv9], and [Demonic Arts: Lv6]!]

[Skill Fusion has begun!]

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

All three Skills fused together, I had yet to even get them to Level ten, but it did not matter with tickets, I was allowed, just like before, it did not matter. The skill created was strong, I could feel it, and with it came a Developing Divinity too, a vision flashed through my mind once more, rivers of blood, clouds of darkness, and a demonic force that swallowed it all.

FLUOSH!

Shadows, Blood, Demonic Energy, all combined together, forming an endless cloud of shadows and darkness, rivers of blood that became oceans, and a demonic force resembling infernal fire.

They clashed against each other, combining, melding, being reborn into something new… Something similar to what my previous life had attained.

Yet at the same time, perhaps stronger.

RUMBLE!

From my very Aura, a mighty divinity surged, so strong it made me tremble with excitement. This was it! Without a doubt, the pillars of my fighting techniques were finally evolving into something anew.

The three Skills, resembling spheres of darkness, blood, and demonic flames converged, and then fused back into my Soul and my Body, all at once.

My grimoire shone brightly, displaying me the details of this new power I felt coursing through every part of my own self.

Ding!

[You have successfully fused the Skills: [Blood Arts: Lv9], [Shadow Manipulation: lv9], and [Demonic Arts: Lv4]!]

[You have created the Fusion Skill: [Umbral Crimson Arts: Lv1]!]

[You have gained the [Developing Divinity: Umbral Crimson]! To develop this Divinity, master the power of the [Umbral Crimson Arts] Skill.]

[You gained +5.000 Divinity Stat.]

There it is!

Umbral Crimson Arts.

I didn't even check the Skill itself; I immediately activated it.

And then.

FLUOSH!

I felt a surge of energies, of elements converged as one.

Shadows, Blood, Demonic Power.

They converged into a dark red mass of slime-like substance.

As I wished it, it took the form of clouds, or as liquid, or even solid like metal and crystals.

It could also turn into deadly flames at my command, or even freeze things like ice.

"This is insane, just what is this?"

But that wasn't even half of its powers, I tried it against living Spirit Beasts from my Spiritual Realm, I was able to use this energy much like Shadow and Blood before.

And combine their effects to create truly ridiculous abilities.

For example, as the monster pounced against me, I swung my hand, releasing a shockwave of dark red shadows, which engulfed the monster, trapping it within a cloud of shadows that constantly twisted and shifted.

The monster couldn't escape, as if trapped within a dimension of its own!

Also, I could activate it directly inside a shadow within range, creating giant metallic spikes of dark red and black colors, piercing the bodies of beasts before they even got close to me.

Also most attacks would drain health and even soul energy from foes, weakening them over time the more damage they took from my attacks.

There were many more things I could do with it, but that's as much as I discovered in these last thirty minutes.

[Umbral Crimson Arts: Lv1]

Skill Proficiency: 5.311/500.000

A Divine Skill Fusion of the [Blood Arts], [Shadow Manipulation], and [Demonic Arts] Skills.

Combine and harness the power of Blood Arts, Shadow Manipulation, and Demonic Arts together into a brand-new power, invoking into your world a new element, Umbral Crimson, a combination between Demonic Power, Shadows, and Blood.

An ever-shifting Composite Element that can unleash the mighty and ravaging power of blood, the stealth and utility of shadows, and the destructive might of demonic arts together as one.

Umbral Crimson is an Element that can absorb the elements within its surroundings and even be combined with other elements to shift its powers endlessly. From frozen state, to metallic, crystalline, liquid, blazing, and smoke-like. It can shift rapidly and even become several of these states at the same time, becoming an utterly deadly power that only you can wield.

By channeling Umbral Crimson into your body, you receive the {Umbral Crimson Vessel} buff, which enhances the power of all Umbral Crimson, Blood, Shadow, and Demonic Element Spells, Skills, and Abilities Power by 400% (+20% x Skill Level) but increases their Mana cost by 50% (-3% x Skill Level).

This buff can be further expanded into {Umbral Crimson Aura} to boost All Stats by 250% (+25% x Skill Level) whenever you're using Umbral Crimson, Blood, Shadow, or Demonic Element Spell, Skills, and Abilities and grant them the ability to ignore 30% of a foe's Defenses and to ignore 50% of their Elemental Resistances.

When touched by Umbral Crimson, foes will receive several status effects at random, including [Paralysis] [Madness] [Weakness] [Curse] [Poison] [Vampiric Drain] and more, and if enough damage is dealt to them using Umbral Crimson, their stats begin to rapidly decrease by up to -30%.

Damage dealt against Umbral, Crimson-infected foes while using Umbral Crimson Arts increases by 200% (+20% x Skill Level). New Arts are unlocked with each Skill Level. All previous Blood Arts, Shadow Manipulation, and Demonic Art abilities can be also used and combined at any time.

Available Umbral Crimson Arts:

Level 1: [Crimson Shadow Weapons] [Umbral Crimson Elemental Shifting] [Space-Shifting Shadow Blood Cloud] [Umbral Crimson Demonic Aura Embodiment]

Level 2: ???

It was a slightly long Skill, but the description was definitely worth reading, Umbral Crimson was an amazing element, and it contained so many powers it was hard to believe it even existed.

Could I use it in more things than fighting? Perhaps to refine equipment and upgrade it, or to transform it into materials too?

Or even more, to form a Domain with it? Or maybe use it as an Element to evolve my own Physique even further!

There are perhaps too many possibilities…
