Chapter 913: Engraving The Spear With A Deadly Vampiric Stigma
-----
Azahuk immediately started working on the accessories, imbuing his powerful psionic skills inside of the metallic accessories and constantly imbuing this energy as engravings. It was a slightly similar work compared to runic engravement. But it also had its unique parts that only this man knew how to make.
As I watched him work, I decided to move to the deepest area of the Vampire Castle, the altar of Sangre was there.
"Sangre, are you there?"
I asked without receiving an answer, but I quickly left behind several bottles with monster blood I've extracted from all the creatures we've hunted. In a flash, I heard a voice. A presence surged from within.
"Oh? It is unusual for you to visit me, Asmodeus. Is there something you need from this humble Goddess?"
"…Can you bless this weapon?"
I showed her my spear. Her shadow form's crimson eyes opened widely in surprise. She was amazed by the weapons' tremendous power, despite its formerly humble origins. She giggled maliciously.
"Yes, I can! It is very compatible with my powers… Such a wonderful item, did you make this in your second life?"
"Yeah, can I decide the blessing?"
"Hmmm, well? This offering of blood is fine, I suppose… But I'll need some more if you want something strong."
"Nothing too much, I just need the Blessing of Sanguine Fury."
"That Blessing from all of them? Why? Wouldn't it be better for a Blessing such as Blood Berserk or Crimson Bat?"
"Nah, Sanguine Fury is good enough. Don't worry."
"Fufu, as you wish."
Her shadow and dark red claws grasped the spear. Gluttony tried to fight back as it was furious someone else was holding her, but Sangre's powers swiftly were imbued into her, blessing her.
FLAAASH!
[Your Goddess has blessed your weapon with the {Vampiric Stigma: Sanguine Fury}!]
[Only one Vampiric Stigma can be imbued into a piece of equipment.]
[You have paid the blessing on blood.]
The blood instantly disappeared in front of me, as Sangre quickly gave me back the weapon before the spear were to try to attack her any further.
"There you go. Quite the pesky little weapon! It seems only obsessed with you! What a weird item." She laughed. "Now, I am quite bored. Tell me, my son.
What are you planning to do with that power?"
"Destroy an entire garden and kill a dragon." I smiled.
"Ohhh? I am looking forward to that delicious dragon blood you will be offering me then!" She giggled maliciously, before disappearing.
"I'm done here." I gave a last glance to Gluttony.
The spear gained a crimson red mark on its blade, resembling a bat surrounded by tentacles and eyes. The bat had its jaws open, revealing the sharp fangs. Inside of the mouth there was also another crimson eye. This was a Vampiric Stigma, a powerful engraving that Sangre can imbue into her blessed items. The gauntlets I got from her possess such power, and now Gluttony too.

{Engravings}:
{Vampiric Stigma: Sanguine Fury}: For every 1000 Health Points lost from the wielder or any ally within a 50-meter vicinity, increases Damage Dealt by +1% (Max: +5.000%) for 10 Minutes. However, after the timing is off, you take 50% of the damage you dealt, your HP cannot go below 1.

Although it wouldn't kill me as it can only lower my HP to 1, it still a very dangerous ability. But it is ideal for what I can do now with my new Summoner Skills. Especially with my Familiars. This used to be a sadistic ability that only evil Vampires would use by sacrificing their allies to gain power. But it can now be realistically used using my familiars.
"Welcome back, Blake. I see you've strengthened your abilities once more… Your Summoning Skills are developing a lot too."
My last stop was in the Summoner Palace, where the Divinity Of Summoning greeted me once more. I sat on the throne and cultivated some of its divine essence around my Spirit Orb. The white essence coursed through my entire body, as I constantly consumed Spirit Orbs I had at hand to rapidly refill my energies.
After three hours of cultivating inside while moving with my real body, I finally stepped out of the throne. Slightly exhausted. The power of this Divinity Fragment was very strong, but it would take me a while to transform it into a true Divinity, something that could perhaps even go against the might of the Archdemons in their full power.
"Are you done already? You hardly did enough." The Divinity complained.
"Sorry, but I am quite busy right now. I'll make sure to return later." I said.
After having had breakfast, I was already finding myself moving inside of the Elios Garden's first layers. Erika, Elizabeth, Eleanora, my vampire spirits, and my siblings accompanying me. They couldn't stop bickering and chatting about whatever, just to keep themselves busy while we hunted low rank monsters.
My siblings showcased their wonderful abilities, showing how strong they have grown. Their auras of draconic power further reinforcing their skills. Slowly, they might finally learn a technique outside of skills or spells, just like father has done.
As we finally landed on the last layer, I noticed I gained one more level out of all the hundred or so monsters we hunted on our way here. I swiftly prepared for the last layer, summoning at least a hundred Familiars of all shapes and sizes for this fight.
My grimoire overflowed with crimson blood and phantasmal energy, as I got ready my new Summoner Skills for this invasion. I quickly sensed the presence of hundreds of C Rank and B Rank Monsters approaching. Giant plant monsters.
"They're coming." I said, as we stepped inside of the last layer. The presence of the boss of the Elios Garden growing larger. Over three hundred plant monsters surged from all around us, appearing endlessly from the forest. And with my eyes, I noticed it.
Far away, in the deepest part of this forest of giant flowers, a gigantic female figure surged, blooming from a giant flower. She glanced at me with sharp, vicious eyes. Her entire body overflowing with not only Mana.
But Demonic Energy too, one I could feel was quite familiar.
I knew there was something odd about this garden.
It was all just a plan of her, isn't it?
"Lilith."
