Vampire Summoner's Rebirth: Summoning The Vampire Queen At The Start-Chapter 877: A New Chance

-----

"Krieek! Keeek!"

The fat Gardener Rat rushed towards my siblings, opening its jaws and pointing the sharp teeth it had against them. Because of its speed, Allan panicked slightly, stepping back.

However, his turtle, Emerald, spun into action, striking the rat in the head!

BAAAMM!!

"Gryyeekh!"

The rat rolled over the ground, its head bleeding… Emerald stood in front of Allan bravely, despite being a rather shy-looking Familiar.

"E-Emerald! You protected me?"

"Guuh!"

The turtle nodded, as little Allan suddenly felt like he could do anything as long as his pet was there to protect him.

"T-Then!"

Allan summoned the Silver Flute Spirit he had, his only Spirit so far, and quickly used it to sing a beautiful rhythm with it.

FLAASH!

A powerful buff to Attack and Defense blessed him and his sister and the familiars all at once, this was the power of their spirits.

They couldn't fight with them, but the spirits had the amazing abilities of supporting their allies with both healing and buffing.

"Krieeek!"

The Gardener Rat swiftly stood back up, gathering Mana into its jaws and sprinting back to attack, its teeth now capable of piercing more strongly.

"Paprika!"

Little Anna commanded her familiar, the Flame Salamander leaped into the air and absorbed air, firing several fireballs from its mouth.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The Gardener Rat was swiftly burned alive, falling on the ground and dying rather quickly…

BAAM!

"Wow, we did it!" Anna said happily.

"I-I barely did anything though." Allan sighed. "Hm? I feel a bit stronger…"

"Me too!" Anna said.

They had been hunting Horned Rabbits before, although with my father's supervision, so their levels should be slightly higher than just level zero.

And a quick inspection on their little Statuses quickly revealed to me they were Level 3, after leveling up just now.

Their Level Cap was at Level 10, and they were born without Talent, like me. It is a bit troublesome they have no Talents, but I believe they could probably develop one through some method.

Perhaps my Creation Skills could do something about that. My Familiar Skills can only bestow Talents to Familiars, I can't use them on my siblings.

But the Power Bestowal Skill I possess might just do the trick… Though, perhaps asking the Holy Spirits for that might be quicker.

As I freed more Rats for them to hunt, Eleanora, Elizabeth, and Erika made sure to heal them and buff them as they fought.

In the meantime, I decided to have a chat with the Holy Spirits regarding people born without a Talent, and the reason behind why Spirits are always guaranteed but a Talent isn't.

The Grimoire swiftly showcased me their messages.

[The {Holy Spirit of Light} says that the reason why some people is born without Talents has to do with Bloodlines and Affinities within them.]

[Meanwhile, the origin of Spirits is something that has been gifted to every single person, it is a vital organ they develop when growing up, a Spirit will always develop one way or another.]

[However, Bloodlines also have to do with it. The Ancient People, especially those that directly descend from Heroes or Spirit Races themselves, naturally have higher affinity and might be born with much stronger Spirits.]

[Similarly, people can be born with Spirits slightly similar to their parents, usually sharing one or two traits, and some element in common. Which also correlates with Magic Element Affinity.]

[You descend from a family of serfs that was unremarkable, it was a miracle your father had a Talent as a Farmer, which appeared randomly within the bloodline.]

[However, because he had children with someone of another family who have been born without Talents, the chances for his children to have one also decreased.]

[Thanks to the Grimoire, you were able to develop a Talent anyways, and evolve it as you Ranked Up. The Grimoire has helped you overcome the weakness of your Bloodline.]

[Additionally, based on Divine Blessings, new Talents can emerge as well.]

"I see how it is… Quite an unfair thing, huh? Good thing Hero Allen made sure everyone was born with a Spirit, so everyone had equal chances now." I sighed. "However, to think Talents are affected by such trifling matters as Bloodlines… So they're not a thing of the soul then?"

[The {Holy Spirit of Love} explains that they are a part of a Soul, but this part can only develop through a specific affinity contained within Bloodlines.]

[They don't know too much, but the Holy Spirits think that whoever created the power of Talents, had acquired it through transforming their own bodies and bloodlines first, hence, it could only be inherited to their offspring.]

[The Bloodlines eventually divided and became more diverse with new forms appearing every time, infinite variations depending on elemental affinities appeared.]

[However, because there were also untalented people, several bloodlines weakened until they lost almost all their affinities, while those that kept having children between Talented almost always had offspring with Talents.]

"Such a shitty system, whoever made this is fucked." I sighed. "Nonetheless, can I give a Talent to someone? I can do it to Familiars already, no? And I feel like I've grasped a bit of the power of Divinity too."

[The {Holy Spirits} have been considering that…]

[And as a result, through the power of your {Grand Creator} Subclass, it shouldn't be impossible.]

[The very reason they made this Special Subclass was for you to change how the world worked… For you to Create new Paths.]

"I guess you're also against this weird bloodline inheritance system." I nodded. "Very well, how do we do this?"

[The {Holy Spirit of Light} says they have already decided to do something. The Skill [Power Bestowal] has been modified.]

[As long as you pay the price in Spirit Orbs, you can bestow Talents to people that do not possess them, by making them touch your Grimoire's pages.]

[They will be able to choose the available Talent, but it will always start at 1 Star, and can only pick one once they reach Level 10.]

[Once the Talent Path is chosen, it cannot be changed anymore.]

"Spirit Orb as the only price?" I smiled. "Perfect then…"

And my siblings have just slain all the Gardener Rats, their level very close to Level 10 by now.
