Chapter 72 - Who Said Robots Can't Be Vampires?!
-----
Noah had surprised the Blood Progenitor, and had completely blown his mind by what he had done!
The Blood Progenitor knew that high ranked Vampires could be able to hasten the crystallization of Blood Energy inside of Vampiric beings and letting them have a Blood Core faster this way, but he had never thought that it could be possible for non-vampiric and synthetic beings to even be able to accept this power!
However, for Noah's mind, it seemed like something completely obvious!
After all, Robots in this world used Magic, they were made of Magic Technology!
And each Robot had an equivalent to a Blood Core within their bodies which they used to regulate magic energy through their magic circuits!
By simply turning that Mana Core Battery into a Blood Core Battery through the Blood Core Creation Ritual, Noah could generate such a thing!
Now, they were given the power to absorb magic from resources directly, and even be able to use this magic into their bodies and modify themselves with it!
However, aside from Magic Absorption and Shapeshifting, Sakura, Sugar, and Big Sis were gifted with some other kind of special ability, shocking the Blood Progenitor even further beyond!
If he had a physical body, his entire chin would have already fallen off his face and his eyes would have been popped off his eye sockets!
"How strange, what is this power?" wondered Big Sis, as she began to manipulate what seemed to be Shadows around her, coating herself with it and more!
A Robot using magic similar to a Skill, something never thought before even less imagined!
"This must be a joke! How is it possible!?" roared the Blood Progenitor.
"Amazing… Big Sis, it seems that you've unlocked the power to use some kind of Ability… even without a System or Skills… Is it because of your Blood Core?" asked Arthur.
"No, foolish kid, that's not a Skill of your world, this is a Blood Core Ability, Shadow Sneak!" said the Blood Progenitor, Arthur obviously didn't hear him.
It seemed that the Blood Progenitor knew about special Abilities from his world that were not related to Earth's Hunters, Skills, or Ability Cores!
These were Abilities that could be learned based on the user's Blood Core Affinity, amongst other things.
It seemed that the power that each Vampiric Subordinate around Noah was also similar to this power, each Vampire could develop Abilities based on their affinities and their Blood Cores in the world of Vampires, Abyss!
Because Arthur and the rest already had the System, such Abilities obviously showed off as Skills, but for Big Sis, Sakura, and Sugar, who lacked a System, this fact seemed strange for those that were not familiar with a power not connected with the System itself!
"Amazing… Look at me!" said Sakura, as she unleashed an Aura of Freezing Winds around herself, as she practiced it more, she became more adept at it!
"Indeed… I didn't even know we could do such things…" said Sugar, as she began to produce black light from her fingers, which formed into floating blades!
"T-That's… Freezing Heart and… Blight Soul! Impossible! How can mere robots possess Blood Core Talents?! I accepted your bunch having them… but these beings that are not even made of flesh… How infuriating!" roared the Blood Progenitor.
"Shadow Sneak? Freezing Heart? Blight Soul? Spit it out, Dracula. What are you even talking about?" asked Noah to the Blood Progenitor.
"Tch! Well, I might as well tell you! In Abyss, any Vampire that possesses a Bloodline and a Blood Core has the power to develop certain Abilities depending on their attribute affinities. You and your bunch also have such attributes, which manifest themselves by fusing with your Skills from this damned System of yours… You in specific have the same Ability and affinity as me, that of Blood Attribute Affinity! That blonde boy has Dark and Light Affinity, the maid that serves him has Dark and Thunder Affinity, Iris has Phantom and Poison Affinity, the kid that never speaks (Jon) has Curse Affinity, and that crazed woman (Adamantine) has Shadow Affinity!" said the Blood Progenitor.
"So the logic of your world somehow applies to this one?" asked Noah.
"Something like that! I cannot believe that those Robots would develop Abilities based on their Affinities so soon! Well, in this world affinities seem to be all over the place, as people can learn Skills at a whim and acquire the power to wield fire and ice without problems, but their Affinities will always remain as one! However, that this System lets them ignore such rules is another thing," said the Blood Progenitor.
"So by giving Blood Cores to the Robots, I have given them an Affinity and the power to develop and use Abilities based on their Affinity? Is this how your Cultivation works?" asked Noah.
"Grr… more or less! The worst part is that they are synthetic beings that do not even have a soul… Do you understand what you did?! By giving them a Blood Core, you have given them the power to develop one! This is a terrible taboo! You should not have been given the powers of us proud Vampires to measly and pathetic synthetic beings that are only used as tools or weapons! Do you understand the disgrace you have brought upon our kin?!" asked the Blood Progenitor.
"Disgrace? Taboo? I don't give a damn, honestly," said Noah.
"Y-You insolent dog! I have given you everything and this is how you treat your Progenitor?! You should respect your kin and grace us for what we have done for future generations! You have insulted our entire kin! I will tear you apart!" roared the Blood Progenitor, pretending to be strong and intimidating, but, to his unluckiness, he had none of the power he pretended to have when roaring so fiercely or ranting inside of Noah's head.
"Sigh… You groan way too loud, why don't you go take a break? Go to sleep for a few hours, alright? Now leave me be, I got grinding to do," said Noah.
"Wait! Do not dare… cover me in your soul! I will one day have my revenge! I swear to the Blood God! Mmmffgghh…!" roared the Blood Progenitor, as his loud voice was suddenly muted, as Noah just used his own soul to cover the part of his soul that contained the Blood Progenitor's mind.
"And done. Ahem, it seems that Sakura, the War Machine, and Sugar have developed special Abilities similar to us. According to the Blood Core, it seems that Vampires with Blood Cores can develop abilities based on their Affinities, and because I have converted your Mana Core Batteries into Blood Core Batteries, you have the power to acquire an Affinity. War Machine has Shadow Affinity, Sakura has Ice Affinity, and Sugar Dark and Light Affinity…" said Noah, surprising everyone due to his great resourcefulness and vast knowledge, which he shamelessly stole from the Blood Progenitor, of course!
"Amazing! So this is what we got!" said Sakura happily.
"Incredible… now we can truly be even stronger… and not be limited by our designs and original power?" asked Big Sis.
"It seems so… It will take some time to even master this power though…" said Sugar.
"That's good because I have the perfect place for you to master it in!" said Noah, smiling maliciously, as the three girls seemed a bit intimidated!
"Don't worry, he meant a dungeon," said Arthur.
"Oh…" the three robot girls sighed in relief, they thought that Noah was about to torture them or something.
"What else would it had been than a dungeon, foolish mechs?" asked Noah.
"Well, you always make that weird face…" said Sakura.
"Weird face? DO you want me to disassemble you?" asked Noah rather offended.
"EEEP! No! Sorry! S-Sorry!" apologized Sakura.
"You're acting way too relaxed in front of Noah-sama, Sakura, be more respectful of the one who gave us this power!" said Sugar.
"Y-Yeah… Sorry, it is just my personality as I was made! I can't help but be a bit carefree…" chuckled Sakura.
"I can't help but agree, you always end up screwing something," said Big Sis.
"Eh?! So mean, Big Sis! I thought you were on my side…" sighed Sakura.
"We are all on the same side, Sakura. Now let us follow Noah-sama, he had already changed our lives… And he will most likely keep doing so as we advance even further into this world and the dangers lying within…" said Big Sis.
