Chapter 26 - Rumor circulation and excavation

After the transformation, their eyes fall onto him, they are all looking at him like he's the tastiest thing they have ever seen.

He then realizes his mistake, and starts making an ice basin, but before he can fill it with blood, he feels a prick on his neck. Unfazed by the development, he realizes the blood probably has to come from his body, or maybe it doesn't. But he's just going to see how things play out, and if this is going to be permanent or a one time deal. After the girls had finished their meal, he hears a few notifications.

[The user has made Evelyn a blood servant]

[The user has made Luna a blood servant]

[The user has made Layla a blood servant]

The one with long brown hair and amber eyes was Evelyn, while Luna was the one with long blonde hair and deep blue eyes and lastly Layla was the one with purple hair and green eyes. After that little mishandled mess, Johnathan then looks at their status.

The fact they were all Low grade geniuses was not a coincidence, and this pretty obvious detail didn't slip past Johnathan. He comes to the conclusion that his blood forcefully upgraded their talent to that of a genius, albeit a low grade genius. He then wondered how it would be if it was diluted or not directly from his body. While he's thinking about that, using [Parallel Processing] to look around to find some ores, because he wanted to tinker.

After looking around for a bit and marking the ores on his minimap, he then starts moving the mountain with his [King of the Mountain] and Silver Dragon eyes. After getting to the first ore deposit, he tries just putting it in pocket dimension. It works, and the joy on his face is visible. The girls had decided to tag along, were confused, not used to his oddity's. They had failed to notice his space magic, or any of the other things he was doing, as he was manipulating the tunnel further than they could see.

Soon after gathering the nearby metals, Johnathan opens up a portal back to the house, leaving the girls stunned. They wonder what they came here for, but decide to ask later and walk through.

After walking through the portal, Johnathan makes another to his forge, and takes the girls with him, as he was going to make them a weapon if he had spares. When they exit the portal, Johnathan has a rack of weapons lying on the wall, most were from the mountain king quest. While he's setting everything up, he starts giving the girls instructions.

"I'm going to start forging my new sword. I should have extra materials, so pick a weapon you would like me to make. Come talk to me when i'm done with my sword." He then opens a portal to Ruby while hammering away.

"Hey Ruby, can you spread rumors about the eastern mountains being empty around town, say they were wiped out by a passing S-class?"

"Sure, but why?"

"I don't want people snooping around my new headquarters at all, and I can't really hide it yet."

"Sure, let me show the world my storytelling skills." Ruby then stands up and walks away, so he closes the portal he made to talk with her.

For the next few hours, the girls start practicing with the weapons, and they discover their Vampiric traits. Evelyn had a fire trait, it negated the most major weakness of vampires, fire and sunlight. She had decided on a simple Katana. Luna's Vampiric trait was wind, sort of like the wind magic. However after a bit of testing, they discovered it's most useful function was to coat weapons with. She chose an Odachi. As for Layla, she got a gift that allowed for the attraction of objects, like she was a magnet. It was more effective on smaller targets, and humans or beings around the size wouldn't be affected notable. She chooses some throwing knives and a dagger.

While they where testing out their new Vampire powers, Johnathan had invested 75000 credits into telekinesis and level it up to 10. It was going to be the principal of his new sword, so he had to invest. His new swords idea was actually quite simple, he would have his sword be small, sharp pieces, each with an elemental rune to add to the effects. He could bring the pieces together like they're a puzzle to from a weapon of his choice. He could also send the shards to shred his enemies while he attacked with the sword. It was really a great idea in his mind, and he hoped it would work out even better.
