Epic of Vampire Dragon: Reborn as a Vampire Dragon with a System
Chapter 78: Strange Powers

Chaos glanced at the new Skills with eagerness, he had not gotten anything bad at all, but powers that could change the very structure of his being… Each time he tried them out, his body would undergo changes that didn't seem to originally exist within it, making of the Skills he acquired a power that could transcend even the creation of his own body.

It seems that the power of his Unique Skill "All Consumption" had a power that could even defy logic itself.

Chaos decided to check the new Skills descriptions for a more accurate insight about their true capabilities and what he could get out of them, maximizing his capabilities.

…

[Body Division]: Grants the user the ability to self-divide one's body. Mass is used each time the body is divided, but Mass can be accumulated and stockpiled through the consumption of flesh. Divided body parts are given consciousness and can even become new living beings, based on other Skills and the way the user utilizes this power.

[Body Assimilation]: Grants the user the ability to assimilate bodies of all kinds into one's body. The body must be dead, and the assimilation might grant new Skills, Abilities, and also accumulate Mass, Essence, and more.

[Compound Body]: The user can generate a compound body by either converting into many small beings and making a big one, or fusing with many entities into a bigger being, many new abilities can be temporarily acquired through this skill if it is used correctly.

[Colony Connection]: Grants the user the ability to connect with what is considered the "colony" of its own compound body, or beings made from its own body, offspring are also within this consideration.

…

All four Skills seemed great, Chaos was overflowing with expectations over these new possibilities. He decided to quickly activate these Skills and see what he could do, while the rest of his party glanced with surprise.

He quickly activated them around and tried them out as he wanted, he suddenly used Body Division on his own arm, as the entire arm suddenly became a being of its own which he felt he could still control through Colony Connection… He ordered the arm to walk out of his torso as it started to crawl over the ground like a worm.

And because of his regeneration, a new arm quickly grew back, leaving the possibility that Chaos could quite possibly self-divide endlessly.

However, it was not possible, the more he self-divided, the more he would lose mass, he needed to consume more mass to compensate for it. In a similar way to Abyss.

For now, he decided to leave this power for another occasion, although he could clearly see a lot of useful things he could do with it.

All other powers went with it as well, it was as if all of them were closely related. He could assimilate more bodies to increase his mass and self-divide more or refuse with self-divided body parts, which he immediately did with the arm he took away, gaining a third arm in the middle of his chest.

"Hm, this is inconvenient…"

"Wait, my lord, don't you notice something? It seems that your severed body parts don't turn into ashes anymore!" said Belphegor.

"You're right. Maybe we could try using them for summoning materials later, alongside all the corpses we got," said Chaos, while rubbing his chin. He quickly controlled the arm, detached it, and shapeshift it using [Inner Flesh Manipulation], shaping I as a… bat!

A grotesque eye-less crimson-red bat made of flesh, it flapped its fleshy membrane wings rapidly as it was able to fly, and through the Colony Connection, Noah was able to sense things with it.

He quickly converted both of his eyes into "clones" and fused them into the bat, as new eyes quickly regrew.

Now, he should be capable of being able to use this bat to scout the area ahead of him.

"Hmm…"

Chaos was still not sure, so he gave it a bit of his mass and made it divide into five, if one of them were to die, there would be another four to still scout.

"Amazing, you can even do such a thing…" said Natalia.

"Those bats look so cute too! Can I get one as a pet, my lord?" asked Abyss innocently.

"No…" said Chaos, imagining using his own self as a pet for others wasn't within his plans.

"Siblings?" asked Erebus.

"No, you don't have siblings," said Chaos. He didn't consider these things as his children, they were merely an extension of his own flesh.

"Muh…" sighed Erebus.

"Anyways, I already sent them far ahead, let's continue," said Chaos.

He began to plan on fusing all of these skills into one, perhaps the power of such a fused Skill could let him do even more things! Who knows?

After going through the spiraling stairs, Chaos noticed through his auto mapping that they had gone down around 50 floors by now, and were in the deeper areas of the Boundless Abyss Dungeon.

There was a long corridor of around 40x40 meters, which was wide enough for everyone to go in but not for Chaos to transform into a full dragon comfortably.

However, Chaos quickly saw through his Flesh Bats that there was a larger area ahead…

A cave.

"There's a large cave ahead, let's hurry," said Chaos, as everyone nodded and the group used their amazing dexterity start to rush through the long corridor, which was around 1 kilometer long.

FLAAASH!

Like meteors of colors, they rushed through the empty corridor with no monsters, weirdly enough, and reached the large cave section, the paved ceilings quickly changing into rocks and many glowing crystals spread through a beautiful cave, its ceiling was several hundreds of meters above their heads.

It was a misty cave filled with glowing crystals, resembling the first floors of the dungeon. However, the monsters that lived within it were not as weak…

RUMBLE!

Suddenly, the entire ground began to tremble as something enormous awakened and rushed towards the ground!

CLASH!

Digging from the underground, an enormous turtle coated in minerals emerged! However, this turtle wasn't the same one they had hunted before…

"Hm?! An Earth Wyrm!" said Belphegor.

"RROOOAAARR!"
