Chapter 23 - Evolved, New Abilities

-----

Chaos woke up before he could hear more from the entity that whispered to him within his dreams.

He was left intrigued. Who was this entity? What did it want? And why did it call him "his child"?

Was she Lesithea? Certainly not, his mother wasn't such a being according to Belphegor.

So who was this being? Chaos could recall that it had a powerful, almost overwhelming presence…

Whatever it was, it was way above his own power level…

Chaos gritted his teeth as he touched his chest, he felt strange.

There was something within his mind bubbling, something strange… he didn't know why he felt such familiarity with this entity.

Who was it?

Why did it contact him out of a sudden?

Chaos was simply left even more intrigued, and even frustrated.

However, he quickly calmed himself. Although on the outside, he seemed just as calm as always.

He settled down his mind, and his bubbling emotions quickly faded away like ashes through the wind…

He sighed in relief and glanced at his own body.

He seemingly had… no changes.

He looked the same.

Chaos took a glance at his mirror until he finally noticed that his wings had grown bigger, and now had pointy claws, alongside that, his tail became sharp, and there was a stinger leaking… venom?

Perhaps this venom had something to do with his new Ability acquired after evolving, as he felt like it was also leaking from the claws of his hands and foot.

He quickly decided to check the various System Windows that he was ignoring due to the impact that the dream had caused on him…

Ding!

[You have evolved into a [Vampire Dragon Chimera]!]

[Blood Core Rank: [Level IV: Draconic Vampire (Peak Stage)] has Ranked Up to [Level V: Dragon Vampire (Middle Stage)]!]

[Dragon Heart Rank: [Level IV: Adult Blood Dragon (Peak Stage)] has Ranked Up to [Level V: Developing Adult Blood Dragon (Middle Stage)]!]

[Existence Realm: [Pseudo Demi-Deity: 2/9 (Initial Stage)] has Ranked Up to 2/9 (Middle Stage)!]

[All your stats have increased!]

[The Levels of your Abilities have increased!]

[You learned the [Venom Secretion (Claws, Tail, Fangs): Level 1] and [Stupefying Charm: Level 1] Abilities!]

Chaos glanced with surprise as he had grown stronger once more, despite being born so strong, he was able to keep growing at a rather fast pace, he had been born around half a day ago and he had already managed to evolve! His father would surely be proud of him.

However, there was something that confused Chaos, what were these Levels within the Blood Core and Dragon Heart Ranks? And they also seemed to have names.

On his Dragon Heart Level, he was already called a Blood Dragon! So was he already one then? What relation did this have to his evolution option as a Blood Dragon?

Chaos wondered many things, but he quickly assumed that these things might have no correlation to the evolution of his race and that they might be, perhaps, stages of his cultivation of his Dragon Heart.

As Belphegor had previously stated, Dragons were able to develop their cultivation by developing and Leveling their Dragon Heart, mostly by consuming stronger beings' vitality and flesh, while Vampires were required to drink blood and also absorb vitality…

Both Vampires and Dragons had rather similar cultivation methods, but it seemed that his race had nothing to do with this, but that these Levels showcased his progress through being a Vampire and a Dragon, most likely!

Nonetheless, Chaos decided to not give this any more attention than it needed, as he checked his new Abilities.

[Venom Secretion (Claws, Tail, Fangs): Level 1]

An Ability unlocked from the Poison Dragon Skill Tree.

Grants the ability to naturally secrete venom from specialized venom glands within the fingers connecting to claws, and the stinger of the tail. The intensity of the venom increases as the level does, alongside the Magic Stat. Venom properties can be edited the higher the level of the skill becomes.

[Stupefying Charm: Level 1]

An Ability unlocked from the Incubus Vampire Skill Tree.

Grants the ability to use your amazing, charming beauty to stupefy a target, the higher your Magic stat is, and the skill level is, the more intense the stupefying effect becomes, to the point where you can even force others to do your bidding. Can be resisted by foes with high Magic stat or greater existence realms.

These Skills were interesting! Chaos couldn't help but wonder how he could use them properly in battle, but he believed that for now, steamrolling his way through weaker enemies would be the swiftest way to grow stronger…

Although he had considered the possibility of trying it out with the people here, he quickly realized that he might have already the talent for charm, as he had somehow charmed the Orcs with his humanoid appearance.

And as for the venom, he considered producing a lot with different components, if he could edit its properties, perhaps he could even create drugs that could alleviate pain, enhance strength, or many other things…

Chaos decided to check his status after understanding the potential of his new Abilities.
