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

Chapter 858 Combining Talents

-----

The next morning arrived, and I was still being trapped on bed. I decided to sneak out by melding with my shadows, barely managing to.

Everyone was still fast asleep. I don't remember ever seeing my Vampires sleep this much, they had sure grown rather lax with their lives.

Well, that's for the better

"Now…"

I wanted to Rank Up and get a new Talent, so I decided to not make a fuss inside the house, walking to the backyard where there was a large garden my mother and grandma kept up.

The beautiful sun atop the skies, the bountiful garden filled with fruit trees and flowers, and also the village at the distance, with the mountains in the background made for a beautiful and scenic view.

"Well, let's get started."

I looked into my Grimoire to select the Talents I wanted to combine.

Ding!

[Accessing the [Talent Combination] Interface…]

[Accessed.]

The pages suddenly glowed with a blue light, generating several texts across, showcasing the Talents I could take… This seems to only include Class. Subclasses were excluded, just like before.

Ding!

[Please select two Talents you want to combine.]

[Available Talents]

[Divine Summoner: ★★★★★]

[Divine Beast Tamer: ★★★★★]

[Abyssal Spear Demon Lord: ★★★★★]

[Eldritch Warlock: ★★★★★]

[Divine Dragon Tamer: ★★★★★]

[Blood Emperor: ★★★★★]

[Chimera King: ★★★★★]

[Spirit Necromancer: ★★★★★]

"Huh, there's more Talents than before… Grimoire, I've been thinking about this for a while, can the existing Talent be combined with the two new ones?" I asked the Grimoire.

"…"

The Grimoire suddenly fell silent, as it started to analyze and think… It took a few seconds, but it eventually brought a conclusive answer.

[It has been analyzed that it is possible to combine the existing Talent with two new Talents to create an even stronger Talent.]

[However, due to this requiring extra energy, Skill Points and Stat Points must be sacrificed.]

[It is recommended for you to acquire Skill Points and Stat Points through the [Equivalent Exchange] Grimoire Ability.]

"Right, I hadn't done that yet… How much is needed?"

[2000 Skill Points and Stat Points should be enough.]

"You're asking for a large sum… However, the power it would give me is really tempting."

2000 Stat Points is the biggest lose here, it could give me more than just 2k stats…

By giving it away, I might be losing over 6k Stats.

But even then, I believe it is worth it!

I wouldn't be fusing just two Talents, but four together, the benefits are bound to be immense.

I quickly opened my inventory and took out all the things I wanted to sacrifice, putting them on the other page of the Grimoire.

The materials slowly started to turn into particles of energy, being absorbed by the Grimoire in large quantities.

Until it reached its limit of the month.

Ding!

[You have sacrificed a large quantity of high-quality materials for the [Equivalent Exchange] ritual.]

[You gained 4500 Skill Points and 3500 Stat Points.]

[You cannot activate the [Equivalent Exchange] function until the cooldown is over.]

[Cooldown: 90 Days.]

"The cooldown tripled…" I said in surprise. "I suppose the more points I get, the more it will have as a cooldown. I guess that's a way to balance it?"

Anyways…

Ding!

[You've exchanged 3000 Skill Points.]

[You learned the [Call of the Night: Lv1] Skill!]

[You can now Call the Night itself to your surroundings, further enhancing your Vampiric Prowess and Shadow Magic.]

[You learned the [Power Bestowal: Lv1] Skill!]

[You can now use your powers of Creation to bestow powers and abilities into Items and People, limited to one per target.]

[You learned the [Power Withhold: Lv1] Skill!]

[You can now use your powers of Creation to withhold powers and abilities from Items and People, limited to one per target.]

"Oh, I've slept on these Skills! But the ability to withhold abilities from foes? Even if only one, it is a huge power!" I smiled. "So this is the power of Creation that the Holy Spirits granted me… Amusing."

"It truly feels like an amazing ability, indeed!"

Suddenly, a little red bat spoke while sitting on my shoulder…

"Eleanora?! I thought you were sleeping…"

"I was! Just a moment ago. I came rushing down once I saw you outside."

"Ah… Well, good morning to you then."

I gently patted her head.

"Good morning to you too!"

She gently kissed my cheek… with her tiny and adorable bat mouth.

Well, she mostly licked it.

"Can't you turn back to normal?"

"This IS my normal!"

Eleanora started flying around in her bat form…

Oh well, she likes it and its easy to use anyways.

Moving on.

"Now, Grimoire, I've got the points, show me the options again… And show me the results of each one. I need to test this carefully…"

[Very well…]

The Grimoire quickly showed me the Talent List once more. Now that I was fusing three talents, one of them being my current one which was a merge of two, the results would be even larger.

I carefully considered my gains and loses with each choice and each Talent. I had to make sure to pick what I needed for my growth.

I do have a lot of abilities, but getting a way to enhance them further wouldn't be so bad… However, over specializing is also not good.

Recently, it has felt like my Familiars are stagnating a bit… Perhaps something that could give them even more flexibility would be good.

The elemental bestowal is good, but it doesn't feel like it is enough to go against all these Demons we'll be fighting.

The Familiar Egg has potential but requires time and effort.

So, I suppose I'll choose these options.

Ding!

[You've chosen the [Divine Summoner: ★★★★★] and [Spirit Necromancer: ★★★★★] Talents to combine with the [Blood King Grandmaster Summoner: ★★★★] Talent!]

[To Compensate for the requirements of Energy and Resources, you've paid 2000 Stat Points and 2000 Skill Points.]

[All three Talents have merged together, creating the [Divine Spirit Blood King's Necromancer Summoner: ★★★★★] Talent!]

[The power of the [Spirit Necromancer] Talent is being ingrained into your very [Origin Core]!]

[The power of the [Blood King] Talent has begun to evolve within your [Origin Core]!]

[Both the power of the [Divine Summoner] and the [Grandmaster Summoner] have the same wavelengths, their powers have merged perfectly within your [Origin Core]!]

[All Talents have fully merged; you now possess four Talents into one!]

TRUUUMMM…!

My Aura suddenly erupted with power.
