The Golden Experience Point [Part 1]

Chapter 54: "Mormo"

"Hoh, spartoi. They are quite powerful undead. As always, your actions are inexplicable to me. Fuh hah hah."

When she went to brag to the count, he complimented her. Just as he said, the spartoi had total stats comparable to Blanc's when she had first turned into a vampire. Normally, she wouldn't have been able to [Subordinate] them since they'd resist it. [Control] and [Subordinate] required a large gap in power in order to succeed.

"Incidentally, did you not impart any of your blood to the bats? If the new spartoi were given it first, I would not be surprised if they were dissatisfied."

"Huh, really?"

When she opened her cape to look at them, they looked back at her with their cute little eyes as though to ask "Yes, what is it?" They didn't seem bothered in the least. But still, just as the count was saying, the bats had been doing their best all along, so giving blood to the skeletons first was kinda unfair.

"But I'd need a lot of LP for all of them..."

"A needless concern; should my aid be required, I shall lend it. Simply do what you must without hesitation. I am also interested in the outcome."

If the count said he would support her, then she should just do it. A chance like this was unlikely to come again; he might change his mind as soon as the day changed, so if she was gonna go for it, it had to be now.

"Okay, here goes nothing..."

Just like before, Blanc bit into her finger with a fang, then let each bat lap up a drop of blood. After every bat had gulped it down, she gently set them down in the center of the throne room and stepped back to observe the results.

"Guh..."

Almost immediately, she was overcome with the sensation that came from her LP being drained. She was ready for it this time, so she didn't shamefully fall to her knees again, but she lost as much LP as she had before.

<<Your followers have fulfilled the conditions for reincarnation. Initializing reincarnation.>>

A black mist appeared that completely obscured the bats from sight. There weren't any noises like there had been with the skeletons, but the mist steadily expanded. There was so much that it could have covered up a few humans in addition to the bats.

"Since there was an announcement, the reincarnation must've succeeded... But nothing is coming out..."

"Be silent and watch. Look, the haze is clearing up."

While she thought Ah, is it "haze," not "mist"?, she watched the haze dissipate as the count said. What sat there where the haze had been were definitely not bats.

"Who are they?! And how come there are only three of them?!"

"Hoh. Intriguing, intriguing... It appears that three bats reincarnated into a single mormo. A single bat was too weak by itself."

"'Mormo'?"

"Indeed. A type of vampire that specializes in transformation."

"A vampire!"

There were three beautiful women seated on the floor, mostly human-looking but with pale faces. They were stark naked.

"Um, count...?"

"Fuh hah hah. What a helpless child you are. Fret not; clothing shall be prepared."

"Thankies!"

Even after being given clothes, they didn't know how to wear them, so they simply tilted their heads while holding up the clothes in their hands. Blanc helped them each get dressed and stood them up, but they immediately squatted back down.
