The Extra's Indifference

I lifted my knife from the skin of the little girl and wiped my bloody hands onto my clothes without thinking. Then I looked through the lines that I carved all over its skin, which was smooth and complex.

After that, I poured my mana into the lines that were on its skin and dropped a few drops of healing potion on these cuts.

While the mana was flowing through the rune lines, the cuts closed because of the healing potion but the mana already spread through the lines and stood there as if it was stuck by the flesh that had grown.

Well, this method was something I have just created right now and I didn't know if it would work. But it was worth a shot.

If it works, according to my guesses and theories, the low rank regeneration would be permanently ingrained in the undead little girl's skin. Without any need to engrave again and again to the skin that got deep injuries, as it would interfere with the lines of the runes.

After that, I began to think more about this corpse.

'Its heart is beating albeit slowly, but it's not breathing and there is no need for it to breathe either. I should just extract its lungs, stomach, and intestines as I want vampires to feed on life energy via blood, instead of just plain blood as it would be troublesome to get proper nutrients from just blood, life energy is better.' I thought and extracted the useless organs inside of the undead little girl.

Then I watched the cut in the middle of its belly close slowly but it was enough for me to notice it with my eyes.

Which was a good thing as the rune lines that I carved on its skin and filled with mana before closing it, worked like I wanted. It was automatic regeneration that didn't need any thought to work.

Though the mana that stuck in its flesh lessened considerably, which was a not good development on my part.

'Maybe I can make a life energy core like mana fiends' mana core and connect to the vampires' souls instead of using mana to heal injuries, as the life energy is better than mana in healing.' I thought and dropped a few drops of healing potion onto the cut because I didn't want the remaining mana in the rune lines to disappear and in return repeat the process of engraving runes on this little girl for who knows how long.

Then I held the undead little girl from under its armpits and felt its weight.

'Hmm, it lost a good amount of weight after removing its organs. Maybe I don't have any reason to make it faster with runes.' I thought and left the undead back to the ground.

'I should reawaken this undead's sensors and nerves. So that when Aria gets into this body, she will be able to feel emotions like before, as it is best for her to feel love towards me and to look after me instead of not caring for me like while she is in soul form.'

I have thought like this but I didn't know how to reawaken the nerves and sensors of this undead little girl but there was no need to rush either.

I thought that an electric shock would activate its nerves and sensors but I still didn't do that cause I thought that I could burn them instead of reawakening them.

That is why I just put the undead little girl into my subspace.

Afterward, I began to inspect the enchantments of [Silent Screams of Souls], the [Transformation] enchantment to be exact.

The polymorph ability was like transformation, just a bit more advanced. So I thought it would be good to learn the transformation for the future where I will learn polymorph.

Unfortunately, the runes for the transformation were too complex and mixed with the other enchantments of Silent Scream of Souls.

So, I left this job for the future me, as my brain was about to turn mush because of my continuous work without rest.

Hence, I leaned against the wall and began to ponder about what to do.

The difficulty of making a new race was harder than I had expected and according to my estimations, it would at least last for 10 years. And this was the minimum time to create vampires, I didn't even think about the maximum.

The benefits were already clear as making a new race meant that I would practically be their God and father, so they would listen to every one of my commands without much doubt and hesitance.

And in the worst case scenario, I was thinking of making them golem like beings who can't or don't want to disobey my orders and who will have high regenerative abilities to become nigh immortal. Being a mana battery for me was a bonus in itself.

But making a new race was hard as even deciphering and carving runes on the corpse that will become the progenitor of the vampires took about 2 of my weeks of time. And these runes were just basic, not even advanced stuff.

Carving polymorph runes that will make them able to turn into bats would definitely be like a nightmare for me.

Hence I decided to kidnap or threaten some scholar to be a rune carver slave for me in the future.

Though firstly I had to get out of this forbidden zone, Titan Forest alive and go to the elven kingdom.

I was sure that I would be able to find some elven scholars as they had more time for research because of their long lifespan.

That is why, I decided to get out of this cave and venture to the forest while trying to find clues for the rotation towards the elven kingdom.

I got up from the ground and stood in front of the entrance that was covered with ice.

I dispelled the ice wall without any caution and this was a mistake on my part.

Because a huge dark-eyed pupil was covering the entrance of the cave and was directly looking inside.
