[All Enchantments Are Possible To Evolve]
[1. Wings of The Vampire Progenitor]
[2. Fangs of The Vampire Progenitor]
[3. Spine of The Vampire Progenitor]
"*sigh*... is there any way I can see what they do… or are they just cosmetic-"
I was suddenly cut off by a string of explanations appearing before me. It caught me a bit off guard, but at least this eased my worries for just a moment.
[Demonic Trait: Wings of the Vampire Progenitor]
[Description: Seeing your rise in power, the system has decided to grant you the traits of a potential future evolution. By picking one of these demon enchantments, you will not only gain new power but an increase in better evolution selection for the future.]
[Specifics: The Wings of The Vampire Progenitor will allow you to sore across the skies, but due to their sharp and small nature, making quick turns is easier than most. Compared to other wings, these wings won't fly as fast as they are suited more for combat rather than actual travel. In addition, these wings will brand parts of your back, engraving into your soul. So, these enchantments are locked for this life and your next life.]
[Skill Package: [Passive: Wings of The Vampire Progenitor] [Activated: Blood Pursuit]
The descriptions were quite useful just from reading the first set of descriptions, but I couldn't help the feeling of something tickling the nape of my neck as I read it.
I thought it was one of the cats at first, but upon closer inspection, I saw a pair of two glowing white eyes watching me from afar.
"Come out… I know you're there, Chronos."
"Come on, man, I was having fun watching whatever you were doing. This system Ares gave you is quite interesting… and it seems you also managed to complete a God Quest. The rewards must be useful."
"Yeah… I guess…" I muttered, watching the man phase out of the distant darkness and step into existence right beside me.
He looked the same as before, but this time with a cloak shrouding his hair and the upper section o his face. It made him look mysterious as all you could see was his smug and sly smile that looked down on me.
"Well, hurry up and select. I'll discuss what we're going to do after you pick your enchantment…."
"How considerate," I replied in a flat tone, shifting my eyes back to the long string of text explaining everything else on these amazing enchantments.
[Demonic Trait: Fangs of the Vampire Progenitor]
[Description: Seeing your rise in power, the system has decided to grant you the traits of a potential future evolution. By picking one of these demon enchantments, you will not only gain new power but an increase in better evolution selection for the future.]
[Specifics: The Fangs of The Vampire Progenitor will allow you to suck the blood out of other living beings. By picking this enchantment, not only will your sense of taste skyrocket, but your taste for regular food will diminish while your taste for blood will rise. In addition, you will be able to convert others into dhampirs or completely suck the blood out of them and turn them into lifeless husks acting as zombies. Your saliva also becomes a numbing agent for sneaky and quick meals using your fangs and only your fangs. ]
[Skill Package: [Passive: Fangs of The Vampire Progenitor] [Activated: Dhampir Conversion] [Activated: Zombie Conversion]
This one was probably better than the wings as flying was something I could probably attain later through other means, while this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
I can create my own army and loyal servants who won't disappear within a few days… speaking of servants, I guess that vampire who I sent to go observe disappeared before he could make it back…
[Demonic Trait: Spine of the Vampire Progenitor]
[Description: Seeing your rise in power, the system has decided to grant you the traits of a potential future evolution. By picking one of these demon enchantments, you will not only gain new power but an increase in better evolution selection for the future.]
[Specifics: The Spine of The Vampire Progenitor is a relic passed down through hundreds of generations. Normally acting as a pseudo-lance, its tip is soaked in the blood of countless wars and battles. But, by selecting this enchantment, the spine will return to your own body and serve as a backbone that will not only boost your strength tenfold but will allow access to higher versions of blood magic in the future. In addition, you will be able to summon the spine from your back, replacing it with a spine of blood that will debuff you for however long the spine is out of your body.]
[Skill Package: [Passive: Spine of The Vampire Progenitor] [Activated: Unholy Lance Longinus Summon] [Activated: Blood Buff]
So between all of the options presented to me, I had to pick whether I wanted the ability to fly, the ability to create my own army and loyal servants that stay forever, or the ability to enhance my own capabilities… hmmm…
First, to narrow it down, I cut out the wings option as no matter how cool they would look, I just knew they wouldn't be practical to my style.
Mastering how to fight on the ground is one thing, but learning how to fight in the air is another thing… I just felt picking this option would take away time I could be spending on mastering the craft of fighting on the ground.
I mean, barely any of my enemies in Hell fight in the air, and if they do, I could just use my ancient tongue to tell them to freeze, forcing them to drop to the ground. Simple enough.
"What do you think? Should I go for the safe option and take the ability to create armies… or take the ability to become a living weapon?"
The god behind me sighed for just a moment before speaking up. "The path to killing or becoming a god takes a solitude mindset and skillset… so obviously the latter."
