Vampire Summoner's Rebirth: Summoning The Vampire Queen At The Start-Chapter 914: Elios Garden Raid

-----

Lilith, the Archdemon of Lust. Despite the popularity of this sin, she's not just a sexy woman looking for sex, or something. The power of Lust is a very dangerous one, it is one of manipulation, control, and mind bending. The reason why I immediately thought of her when I felt this demonic presence was because it felt just like Lilith's demonic energy.

It has a sweet, entailing aroma, it merges perfectly well with the aroma of the flowers, making it hard to easily detect. We are naturally immune to this by now thanks to all our levels, equipment, and blessings. However, not everyone else here. The rest of the non-plant monsters we've been fighting were all controlled and parasitized by special plants.

And these plants, which usually die right away after the host dies, had small hints of demonic energy too. I can guess a few guesses on why Lilith has decided to slowly creep into my village through this method. But one is quite simple, she's cooperating with Lady Sathan and the fools of the Demonic Cult of Beelzebub, which now have moved to Lilith most likely, are still aiming for our lives.

If it wasn't because they have the backing of someone I cannot defeat yet, I would have already crushed them. But I better play my cards safely. Though, mowing the lawn here and getting rid of this garden pest shouldn't be that much of an issue.

"Gryyyaaaggh!"

"Shaaaahhh!"

"Ooooohhh!"

The roars and echoes of hundreds of plant monsters rushing towards us reverberated across the large garden of giant flowers. It didn't take a minute for what I detected to be over three hundred of these monsters swarming us. They were all between C+ Rank to A Rank!

"Just how many plant monsters came to greet us today?!" Elizabeth looked around in disbelief. "Maybe we should have invited the rest of our friends now that I think about it."

"They were too busy, and I didn't want to bother them." I said. "Anyways, there's roughly three hundred right now, but I can sense up to over a thousand swarming through the rest of the garden. Mostly Giant Cannibal Flowers, Poisonous Snake Vines, Abyssal Treants, and Walking Mushroom Varieties. The strongest are the Giant Abyssal Treants at A Rank. Be careful with those."

"Gotcha!" Erika nodded, already wielding her giant sword, her Aura quickly surging from her body and fusing with her sword, her eyes seemed overflowing with focus.

"Let's do this then, everyone." Eleanora cheered for the rest of the Vampire Spirits. I had brought almost everyone except Hendrick and Fang, whom I left back home protecting my family in case I can't be there in time for an emergency.

"Big brother, what do we do?!" Asked Anna. "Should we fight or watch?"

"I can shoot my arrows even if I stay behind." Said Allan. "Can we help?"

"Yes, stay within the barrier that Elizabeth will create." I said. "Fire projectiles and magic from afar and don't step out of the barrier for now. These monsters are way beyond your league. But if you help a bit with damage, you can earn a lot of experience points. Emerald, Paprika, make sure to protect them and also fight the monsters."

The two Familiars nodded to my simple command, they recognized me as the figure of authority of my siblings, and because they obeyed me naturally, they did so too. Very simple-minded creatures at the end of the day.

"Now, Fausto, Ezekiel, Dominus, watch my back." I commanded, my three unique familiars surged from my shadows and got themselves into fighting positions. "The rest of the Vampire Spirits, go wild. Simply protect the encirclement perimeter and don't go too far away. Saphira, make sure to not get hit if possible. Stay close to us."

"Okay papa! {Underworld's Gates}!" Saphira nodded, conjuring a huge gate and summoning a bunch of Undead right away. The zombies and skeletons were the first ones that greeted the army of three hundred plant monsters, constantly appearing amongst the bushes and large flowers.

"As for me…"

My grimoire flipped its pages rapidly, as hundreds of cards were activated immediately. We were suddenly surrounded by two hundred Summons. No new ones yet, they were still the C Rank Summons I have used before.

I needed to accumulate more B Rank Spirit Orbs if I ever wished to get an army of B Rank Summons. For that I'll need at least a few hundred more. Good thing this place is going to feed me with as many as I need.

Fenrirs, Arachnes, Dracos, Blazes, Stingers, Rocks (earth drakes), Lilies (flying healing flowers), and Spores (trickster mushrooms) surrounded us, as I commanded them to attack. The walking mushrooms weakened foes with their toxins, the plants were quite immune to most of them, but were still affected by confusion due to their high intelligence, and the stat decreasing effects still worked too.

Meanwhile, the Generals commanded their respective squadrons, further stacking on their stats. This coupled with my rallying and other buffing spells and skills, multiplied the base stats of my summons at least four times, making them as strong as B Rank monsters even if they were C Rank.

The result? An utter massacre. The giant insects tore apart anything in their path, the Dracos burned their path from the safety of the skies, further spreading flames, deadly for plants.

The Fenrirs were fast and swift, cutting down our foes with ease, Blazes did a similar job to the Dracos with their explosive fire attacks, Stingers pierced the heads of the A Rank Monsters with their deadly venom, the Treants combusted as this venom was explosive, and the Lilies healed us whenever we felt exhausted.

I mostly observed the battle as this happened. My Vampire Spirits spread out, taking down monsters after monsters with ease while showcasing all of their new abilities. Naturally, those that wielded ice and fire had an easier time killing the more resilient plants due to their elemental weaknesses.

And as of Erika and Elizabeth… Well, they were having fun too.

"Wooohoo!"

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

Erika mowed down dozens of plants with her giant sword, dancing in the battlefield gracefully.

"I love this hammer!"

BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!

Meanwhile, Elizabeth crushed everything with her hammer.
