Vampire Summoner's Rebirth: Summoning The Vampire Queen At The Start

-----

Ding!

[The {Holy Spirit of Light} is happy of your progress so far.]

[The {Holy Spirit of Nature} is grateful for what you've done for the elven continent. They fervently ask you to save their sibling, Yggdrasil, before a week ends.]

[The {Holy Spirit of Ice} seems pleased her blessed child has begun to open up and enjoy more meals, which are healthier for him.]

Well, would you look at that, they've been watching.

[The {Holy Spirit of Fire} seems satisfied with those that share his blessing authority.]

Hm, well, his Authority Fragment was indeed incredible, the ability to absorb Soul Flames and gain Stats is really good. Everyone that got to get it, which already had fire attribute affinity, are really enjoying it.

[The {Holy Spirit of Darkness} watches silently.]

Hm?

[The {Holy Spirit of Love} is eager for you to quickly jump to the next stage of your relationship with your girlfriends!]

I'll ignore this pervert.

[Congratulations! You have completed the {Liberation Quest}: {Defeat all the Lizardmen in your path and Free the Fallen City of Claria and Evergrace}!]

[The Holy Spirits are pleased you've managed to reclaim two cities within such a small-time frame! Not only that, but you've also defeated several fearsome foes, including many of the Draconic Generals, lizardmen gifted with the power of a Dragon Heart and Dragon Tongue Magic.]

[With three more Cities to go and then the capital, you must prepare well for what's coming. Go to the Tower of Trials and ascend into the next Rank to grow exponentially stronger! Fafnir is a foe where you'll need to use everything you have, and more, to defeat him.]

[Completion Rewards]: [Magic Circle Strengthening Elixir (Legendary Grade)] x50 [Physique Enhancing Elixir (Legendary Grade)] x50 [Spirit Orb Enhancement Elixir (Legendary Grade)] x50 [Skill Proficiency Elixir (Legendary Grade)] x50 [Skill Evolution] x2 [Divine Elven Spirit Stone (Legendary Grade)] x1 [Divine Elven Soul Essence Phial (Legendary Gade)] x1 [Divine Evil Dragon's Crystalized Cursed Essence (Legendary Grade)] x1 [Shattered Divine Frost Crown Fragment (Legendary Grade)] x1 [Random Skill Inheritance Scroll: Lover (Legendary Grade)] x2]

These rewards are certainly something, aside from the usual stuff, there's definitely something the spirits themselves put in there as their personal rewards.

I got Elven… Spirit Stone? Then there's the Soul Essence Phial, I don't know how to feel about drinking the essence of the souls of these victims though.

Followed by the crystalized cursed essence of the evil dragon, that's interesting. Then there's the last reward, definitely from the Holy Spirit of Love.

[Random Skill Inheritance Scroll: Lover]?

And it's two, I guess for Erika and Elizabeth.

Wait, not one for Eleanora at least?

Well, I did inherit one of her skills permanently before but still…

From what I was able to tell, all these items can either be used as materials for Spirit Evolution/Creation or to make equipment.

Or I can absorb them and gain power from them, like some other items I was gifted a while ago.

I'll save them for now and see what they can do once I'm done with the Trial.

The Elixirs and the Phial are the things I could consume right now, but the other seems more like materials.

Although absorbing their essence seems tempting, I could use those materials, perhaps, to finally evolve some Familiars into Divine Familiars.

Bestellen, Skadi, and Lifang could probably evolve with what I've been given, plus some more materials, and perhaps a Rank Up from my side.

Anyways, I should consume the Elixirs and the Phial once I'm done eating with everyone.

…

"Phew! That was delicious… I'm a bit sleepy now…" Erika yawned. "I think I'll go take a nap."

"It's still quite early in the day though, isn't it like just recently 2 Pm?" wondered Eric. "A nap at that hour…"

"Hey! I did a lot of work today Eric!" Erika complained. "You're not tired?"

"I mean, I am but if I sleep right now I won't be able to sleep well at night because I won't be as tired," explained Eric.

"T-That's… Completely valid! I had not thought about that," wondered Erika as she yawned again. "But I'm seriously sleepy though…"

"You can go to take a nap if you really want to, Erika," I told her. "No need to wait. Elfriedden also went to sleep after we ate. He was exhausted. My army is protecting the city and there's also a barrier created by Bestellen. There are also no foes at all around here, so relax and rest all you need.

I'll be on my way to the trial tower now."

"Shall we go then?" Eleanora asked.

"Yay, let's go!" Saphira said.

"You're going already? Well, take care," Elizabeth said. "I don't know what it'll be but… I hope you can do it."

"I'll do well, don't worry," I kissed her lips. "Can you cook for dinner if I take too long?"

"Yes, of course, don't worry about it," she nodded with a gentle smile.

"Mooch, mooch!" Erika lips were right next to me, as she asked for a kiss. I happily gave her one.

"Go take a nap," I patted her head.

"Okaaay~ Come back early!" Erika wasn't even worried about me.

"I will," I nodded. "Alright, everyone, I'll be back."

I walked outside the castle, then the city, then into the outskirts, admiring the skies, the greenery around me, and slowly walking the road to the tower.

After a couple of minutes, I was standing right in front of it.

The Tower of Trials of the Elven Continent.

Apparently, there are only one in each continent, and despite all wars, they have never been destroyed.

They're made of an incredibly durable material that simply won't bend, even against the fury of Fafnir or the Demons.

They remain, immovable, as if they were a part of the world as a whole, like a mountain.

"So this is the Tower of Trials, master?" Hendrick wondered, analyzing it. "Indeed, by just giving it a mere glance, I can immediately tell this tower is both ancient and incredibly durable, if not… indestructible! It is as if space and the laws of the world converge and meld with it, and amazing construction."

"It is most likely from the Age of the Gods," I nodded. "The Age of Dragons, Titans, and Ancient Spirits."

And then, I heard the soothing voice of a woman.

"Welcome to the Tower of Trials, Summoner. I've been waiting for you."
