Vampire Summoner's Rebirth: Summoning The Vampire Queen At The Start-Chapter 1040: A New Plan

-----

By analyzing Elfriedden's fiancée, I found out a few things.

First, it was empty, no Spirit Orbs.

Second, there was some sort of energy, it was like a very corrupted spirit energy, which was in small quantities.

The rest… Well, it was rather dry and empty, yes, but there was demonic energy slowly festering inside.

It was indeed like the Demonic Spirit Orbs that cultists develop on their own, but without any actual Demonic Spirit there.

From what I've seen and heard, Demonic Cultists, when they go through this change, can only keep a single demonic spirit.

Their old, useless spirit to them, is corrupted and mutates into a new, aberrant form that can grow very quickly by devouring souls and flesh, like demons do.

But she didn't even have that, only a Demonic Spirit Orb that could over time harbor a lot of demonic energy.

Elves that wield Demonic Energy, it is as bizarre as it sounds.

Can I fix or repair their Spirit Orb?

I will have to investigate how to do that first, and then move to do that.

For now, however…

"It is empty?" wondered Elfriedden.

"I-Is it?" wondered Rosenheim.

"Yeah, as dry as a desert," I nodded. "I'm sorry Rosenheim, your spirits are no longer there…"

"Hah…" she sighed, looking depressed, but perhaps too tired to cry anymore. "I shared so many memories with them, with my little Pegasus. I saw him grow from a little baby to the big flying horse he became. My loyal steed… I'll miss him."

It usually varies from person to person, some might feel attached to their Spirits, and others only see them as an expression of their power, and therefore form no bonds with them.

But Elves seem different, they make strong bonds with their Spirits, since birth that they embrace them and love them, making the spirits develop very strongly emotionally, and overprotective of their masters.

In result, this also make elves really good at wielding Spiritual Magic and Spirit Arts using their Spirits powers and assistance, as they will always be taking care of their backs and can channel more spiritual power through their deeper bond. Your adventure continues at novelbuddy.com

"I know that elves share an even deeper bond with their Spirits most of the time," I said. "I'm sorry for your loss."

"T-Thank you for your consideration, Blake…" Rosenheim sighed. "I-I need time to mourn him… My little Pegasus…"

At the very least, their Level and Skills seem to remain, so in the worst-case scenario, they could still be like my father, growing beyond Spirit Orb Cultivation. The creation of physiques and magic circles could remediate that loss.

But there's also a part of me that's saying that their new Spirit Orbs… might bring a completely new clan of elves, Demonic Elves, or Dark Elves, as I would call them. And it could help them cultivate and comprehend this dangerous, yet powerful energy to use it against their foes.

After all, even if it is associated with our foes, Demonic Energy is powerful, I wield it myself, and it boosts my strength and explosive power to completely insane levels after all.

But the elves would probably never accept that…

Maybe.

"Yes, take as much time as you can," I nodded. "I am sure my friend here will take care of you. Elfriedden, I'll get going now."

"Eh? Is that all?" wondered my friend.

"Yes, I've analyzed her Spirit Orb completely and created a scan inside of my head with a hundred percent accuracy, I will analyze it in more detail in my room," I said. "Expect some results in a couple of days. And…"

I quickly talked to him through telepathy.

"The potential of Demonic Energy shouldn't be ignored. There is a chance I might not be able to help them at all. If such a thing happens, they'll have to eventually come to terms with their new Spirit Orbs. Try to mellow down your girlfriend about the idea. She's a noble after all, so she could convince others."

"W-What?"

"I know its crazy, but although they have lost a lot, they have also gained something new and unprecedented, an opportunity within a crisis… Elves would never accept it after all, this is why they need to think outside the box. And you're perhaps the one that has thought outside the box the most. I'm counting on your judgement, Elfriedden."

"…Okay."

Elfriedden didn't complain or anything, although his face seemed slightly conflicted, he didn't said anything back, he seemed to understand where I was coming from.

I knew, he's smart after all.

Nonetheless, I will do everything I can to recover their Spirit Orbs as much as possible.

If I could ever return their Spirits or not, we'll have to see.

This depends completely on the composition of Spirits, and if they are truly connected to someone's soul and are part of it or not.

If they are, even if "dead", there might be a way to make them be "reborn" in their initial stages.

If not, then there could be the opportunity to give the victims new Spirits.

Although they might not like them, as these would be similar to Demonic Spirits…

All of it depends on them though.

As I walked outside the room, Erika and Elizabeth tagged along with me.

"So what are we doing now?" wondered Elizabeth.

"You want to help too?" I wondered.

"O-Of course I want to help! Why wouldn't I? I need to learn what's going on with the victims, and if my healing magic could heal their demonic powers or something," Elizabeth said.

"Hmm, good point," I nodded. "Demonic power is very powerful, it tends to corrupt weak minds and make them eviler… cleaning that would be wiser than keeping it, unless a balance could be found. Strangely enough, the demonic energy inside their spirit orbs seems… very harmonious with the person, and not aggressively trying to overtake their bodies."

"W-Wait! Blake, are you suggesting…?!" Erika muttered, shocked of my ideas.

"Sometimes a crisis can become an opportunity, Erika," I said. "So yes, perhaps I would want the victims to embrace their new power and surpass the limits of their kind… But that'll be for later. If you want to help, then I'll gladly accept your assistance."

"Um, alright then…" she sighed.

"That is so very like him, fufu," giggled Eleanora. "Don't worry Erika, master will do his best to heal these people anyways."
