Epic of Vampire Dragon: Reborn as a Vampire Dragon with a System
Chapter 56: Summoning! 3

The Universe.

Beautiful, wondrous, yet immensely dangerous.

Its vastness cannot compare to anything, it is the real "world" there is, anything within are but the islands of an immense, boundless, and endless sea of cosmic beauty.

Across the immense quantities of distance, there are galaxies filled with stars and planetary systems, asteroids, nebulas, ad endless other cosmic figures.

Galaxies might seem immense to the life that inhabits its planets, yet when one goes beyond a galaxy, you find that even galaxies become small, and endless, constantly emerging one after another… you begin to realize that even galaxies who are made of so many gigantic spatial objects are but the stars of the eve outer universe… And even then, enormous clusters emerge with countless galaxies stuck together…

Is there even an end to the vastness of creation? Many had wondered about their purpose in life and what they wanted to be, many felt overwhelmed by the vastness of creation. Within this universe, where the corner of it all is, there are constant intergalactic wars for resources and more… But is that all there is to it?

Some want to be strong, others want to simply live with their families… but Chaos, a mysterious child born from an unknown mass of darkness possesses many desires as he develops new ones.

However, his greatest desire was… discovery!

He wanted to discover it all, the vastness of the endless creation, to see how far he could go, to see how far he could reach…

But against such expectations, he was thrown into a hostile galaxy, an immense and wondrous cosmic mass of stars and more, where he is being persecuted to be… killed.

Chaos wanted to discover the universe and its wonders while fighting to survive. This is why he wanted more servants and those he could trust and that could have the strength he needed.

And so, after summoning twenty creatures from varied strengths, he was about to summon ten more, which would be by using the last pile of materials left.

He could still use his blood, Abyss slime, and the materials that could be harvested from colossus, living armors, and his own scales as well, but that wouldn't be enough even if he made a giant pile, it seemed that flesh, souls, or blood were needed from recently killed creatures… or still living organisms, such as when Abyss was summoned.

When Abyss was summoned, the summon was done automatically for mysterious reasons, which Chaos was yet to discover. He recalled seeing a small rip in space and cosmic essence leaking from it, but he had yet to see this happening for now… But he was still curious about what he could get.

Maybe he could someday get another otherworldly soul with memories of its past? Certainly, it seems that Lilith and the Gazer were like this, both were intelligent and seemed to know about things. Lilith had stated that she came from another Plane and was summoned by him, so she was technically Isekai'd, the same way Abyss did.

"It is ready, my lord! All materials are there, we have saved a pile of magic crystals too, as you asked," said Belphegor.

Chaos had decided to not use all magic crystals, as he wanted some to use for the crafting of materials. He wanted to also practice alchemy and perhaps even create special items or magic items named artifacts, so he could eat them for new Skills. If he could find some crafting or alchemy recipe books and use materials to craft such items, he could essentially cherry-pick whatever skill within these books there were! Although it was still but a theory, he didn't know if it could work like this… And he also might need to gather more materials.

For now, Chaos decided to summon the last batch at long last.

He quickly selected the x10 option as all the materials were converted into bright light and then particles of varied types of energies, fusing and converting themselves into several magic circles, spreading around the artifact and summoning several figures before his sight, of varied sizes and appearances!

"OH?!"

Even Chaos couldn't help but be surprised! This summon had no Normal Rank Monsters! And they were all Unique at a minimum!

Surprisingly, he had hit a bit of good luck at long last! And… what was that?!

Amongst the many new monsters, Chaos noticed one in specific. It had around the same height on his humanoid form, but his entire body was coated in volcanic stone and blazing lava. Its muscles were bulging, and it was almost as black as charcoal, but many cracks across its body showed its blazing interior… Its head had a long silvery-white hair that reached its waist, and enormous horns erecting high into the skies, blazing with red flames.

His eyes were crimson-red, without pupils, and his face seemed like that of a stoic man. He only wore some leather around his waist, covering his private parts.

His claws were sharp and long, and he seemed deadly!

Everyone noticed that this one was way stronger than the rest!

He also immediately spoke, with a rather prideful demeanor.

"Ah, you must be my Master. I am Ifrit, a Fire Demon from the Gates of Hell Plane. I have been summoned to serve you. You seem to have become quite lucky to have me at your side, my lord!" he laughed, as he referred to himself as "ore-sama".

"Wait, I know this guy… He's an Ifrit near my former Demon District… He was always wandering around treating everyone like trash…" said Lilith.

"Hm? Ah! That little Succubus lady! I never thought we would be working together!" chuckled Ifrit.

"Erm, glad to have you in the team," said Chaos.

"Oh?"

Ifrit suddenly realized that Chaos' presence was incredibly overwhelming, as he stopped being so casual and quickly kneeled alongside the other monsters.

"Ah! My lord, excuse my rudeness! (S-Such power…! Is he a Demi-Deity?!)" he wondered.

"No need to kneel anymore, as long as you know your position we are good," said Chaos.
