Vampire Summoner's Rebirth: Summoning The Vampire Queen At The Start-Chapter 927: The Remaining Towers

-----

"So this whole time… For millions of years, our world's power… It has been drained…" The Holy Spirit of Nature seemed very shaken. "I suppose it was like having our power sealed. So the reason we couldn't intervene as much as we would have wanted, it wasn't because we were weak."

"They were weakening you." I nodded. "Maybe… Perhaps even the reason you were unable to develop consciousness sooner was because of the Demonic Towers, because the power was being drained so much, your development as Gods of this world was delayed a long time."

"Those damned invaders…" The Holy Spirit of Darkness was furious, his black clouds thundering with rage. "They were not even letting us fully develop, all so they could swallow our world before we could even do anything to defend it!"

"T-This is heartbreaking…" The Holy Spirit of Love sighed. "Does that mean that if it wasn't for them, I could have developed my consciousness much sooner and perhaps have had a boyfriend or something?"

"No I think that's a bit of a stretch, you're really becoming quite… strange. Just limit yourself to romancing others instead of seeking romance yourself, please." I sighed.

"Hahaha! My bad, I was trying to cheer everyone a bit." The Holy Spirit of Love laughed a bit. "Come on, I know it is really bad… But those things are in the past, we were unable to do anything about it, but it's not like we can go back, right?"

"That's… I suppose you're not wrong, sister." The Holy Spirit of Light nodded. "Thanks to Blake, his friends, and everything we've built until this point, we've finally gotten rid of three Demonic Towers. And our power is finally coming back to us."

"Come to think about it, there aren't any Holy Spirits of Space or Time within your siblings?" I wondered, looking at the whole group.

"No, there is no such sibling." Said the Holy Spirit of the Land, a giantess made of stone, dirt, crystals, and ores. "But perhaps such elements belong within our oldest sibling, the one that is still slumbering."

"There's one that's still slumbering? I thought the Holy Spirit of Death was…!" I wondered.

"Our brother of Death is not slumbering, but due to the intensity of his powers, he decided to create his own domain below our own…" Sighed the Holy Spirit of Nature. "But we do keep contact from time to time. He likes silence and stillness. We've noticed you received his Blessings, well done. He's very strong."

"Ah… Well, yes." I nodded. "So… Who is this slumbering sibling you've never told me about? Was it someone you introduced to me the first time we meet? I remember the Holy Spirit of Death was there in that time, perhaps just an Avatar, but he had come."

"Yes he occasionally visits as an Avatar." The Holy Spirit of Light nodded. "But this other sibling… He's our oldest, the first of all of us. He or she was the one born from the brightest Radiance of the Initial Spark. The rest of us came from the colors that came afterwards, like a rainbow."

"Then… He must be the strongest God of this world, no?" I wondered, feeling excited to meet such a being. Perhaps with a monster like them, it could be possible to defeat Lucifer.

"Yes, we call him the Holy Spirit of Existence." Nodded the Holy Spirit of Light. "Our oldest sibling, the pillar of all Elements, even the pillar of our own powers. He slumbers, perhaps weakened by the same reason you told us about."

"Holy Spirit of Existence…" I felt shaken by such a powerful title. "So they embody everything within Spiritias, huh? Makes sense he's slumbering then. Maybe he will only wake up when all the Demonic Towers are taken down. We have four more to go now."

"If our oldest sibling can truly wake up, then ultimately defeating Lucifer wouldn't be a dream!" The Holy Spirit of Dreams said, he resembled an abstract combination of mosaic artworks, colors, and shapes.

"Indeed…" The Holy Spirit of Nightmares, twin sibling of the Holy Spirit of Dreams, which was attached to the former, but held a darker color, spoke for the first time. "We could even… bring nightmares to all of them, to hell itself."

"Invading Hell… Yeah, that's my plan." I nodded. "But we shouldn't get our hopes too high for now. Let's remain grounded on what we can do right now. So, how many Demonic Towers are left in this continent?"

"None… No more." Said the Holy Spirit of Light.

"Wait, what? I thought there was at least another one?" I asked.

"No, you've destroyed all three of them within the Human Continent, Blake! It is an incredible feat." Said the Holy Spirit of Water. "Thank you so much for helping us get this far, you don't know how grateful we are!"

"A Continent finally freed from the Demons… We never thought this day would come, haha." Laughed the Holy Spirit of the Land. "You have our greatest thanks, dear Blake."

"Indeed! I am so happy too! Thank you so much." The Holy Spirit of Love nodded. "I can even give you a little kiss or two as a reward, what do you say? Maybe even later we could try something in bed!"

"You're starting to creep me out a bit…" I sighed. "Anyways, that's fine… I am quite shocked myself, but it's good. Now, where are the other Demonic Towers?" I directed my gaze to the Holy Spirit of Light.

"The rest… Are spread." He spoke. "One is within the Elven Continent, another within the Dwarf Continent, a third within the Beast Continent, and a fourth within the Northern Continent, where the largest invasion comes from.

We pressure the Northern Continent's Demonic Tower is the one belonging to Lucifer, the tallest, strongest, and biggest of all seven towers, where demons are poured endlessly into our world."

"So that's how it is…" I nodded. "Well, we're going to speed things up. In a month from now, we'll make sure to destroy the one in the Elven Continent first. And because of what I've accomplished now… I am expecting some great rewards as usual, right? I don't work for free."

"A-Ah, yes. Of course." The Holy Spirits felt slightly pressured by my request, but nodded, nonetheless.

I wasn't working for free after all.
