Vampire: World of Blood-Chapter 159: Free At Last I

As if in response to Carmilla’s claim of his Arsenal Assimilation, he began to reach into the void of his dimensional stomach to garner his weapons.

One by one as they came from his glowing mouth of golden-colored energy, he drew forth his weapons, each one radiating a unique aura that danced in the dim light of their surroundings.

First, came Magma, the fiery lance that crackled with the sizzling heat, its surface shimmering with hot molten lava comparable to that of the sun’s surface.

It was a weapon that was very effective against vampires.

"With it, I can unleash lava at extreme temperatures, turning the battlefield into a hellscape... it’s quite useful for killing vampires, so I have high hopes for it, in this exam."

Merciless said as he voiced his thoughts on the matter of Magma’s usefulness.

Next, he produced Hæftbyrden, the cursed halberd. Its dark blade twisted in the air, emanating an aura of malevolent energy, naturally the first weapon he made with his Alternative Options, which is a weaker version of Zakcry’s Reward of the Hunted.

Although using his Kryte Elxisus, he was able to make his Alteration a level 5 power by virtue of the Nosferatu form, as a result, he made a powerful weapon to use in battle.

"Forged from the body of a hybrid, I can manipulate gravity and inflict self-made curses spreading them using gravity as a conduit itself."

He continued, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Remember his first true reward for his first true life and death fight with another vampire.

"Anyone who faces it may find themselves not just blinded, but trapped in a series of weird status effects, or debuffs caused by my curses."

Carmilla watched in awe as he conjured Armageddon, the black, spiked armor that began to envelop him like a second skin.

"Hmm, this armor cancels 90% of all status effects, but it isn’t flawless. If the wielder is at the same level, it can only mitigate a limited number of status effects at a time—typically between two and five, depending on the power difference. However, against lower-level lifeforms, it can defend against all status effects simultaneously, even when faced with a large group or army."

"Against stronger enemies, though, it leaves me vulnerable, as it will only protect me against one status effect at a time. Still, this isn’t necessarily a drawback; it instinctively targets the most dangerous status effect and reduces its impact by 90%."

he stated with a hint of satisfaction; plastered on his face.

"With it, I become nearly invulnerable—no elemental, debuffs of any kind, or temporal attack can touch me, much less affect me at full force."

But I must say, I leave the best for last.

Finally, he summoned Oblivion, the sword forged from the spine of a high human. It glowed ominously, pulsating with negative energy.

"This sword specializes in erasure, its flames infused with negative energy that embodies the mathematical concept of zero. When the flames make contact with a target, they literally burn them down to zero, erasing everything about them, even their very mind and soul. At master levels, the sword can achieve this, but it’s inconsistent, as it requires a charge of 10,000% to do so."

"As one needs pure Negative energy, to even start erasing souls, similar to miasma as one needs pure Miasma to do soul burns, which isn’t the same as soul sacrifice which is a lower level technique of miasma that can for a short while increase the potency value of miasma for one set instance.

But in Oblivion’s case, 10,000% make her attack ascend to pure for one ultimate last-stand attack, and it takes a while for that thing to charge up again."

Merciless explain.

As he arranged the weapons around him, the air thickened with power, each piece resonating with his mastery.

His Valkos armor began to glow a menacing purple as the weapons fused with the very essence of his being, the weapons sank into the armor like a stone dropping into a deep pool of black mud. The armor around him evolved into a more grotesque version of its former self, while the weapons were recreated in reality through her absolute understanding of them.

He generated them from nothing using the NB-Source, capable of creating an infinite number if he desired with it; of each weapon he absorbed. This was made possible by the profound comprehension of their being that he gained after absorbing their essence.

As such, the new weapons, their consciousness an annoyance to progress, were rewired into instinctual consciousness instead, as they all began to orbit around him. Well, Magma and Oblivion naturally, Armageddon was fused to his Valkos armor, meanwhile, he held Hæftbyrden, the giant halberd, firmly on his shoulder.

As he began to exit the portal.

He did the assimilation while inside, as that was the power of his Valkos.

Arsenal Assimilation teamed up with Energy Assimilation, which meant he was his body made energy for him to use.

In layman’s terms, he was self-sufficient in terms of energy now, and his body could naturally recharge itself with energy types he could use that being (Chi, Faith, Aether, Miasma, and Negative.)

However, absorbing energy and converting it was faster and more efficient when it came to recharging it.

A power both Anastasia and Albedo had via their different ichors was still faster than his body making the energy natural.

Currently speaking, his cells evolve again to accommodate this power; each cell, as of right now, could hold four times more than Albedo, as these cells grow mini cells within them that connect to one cell, each mini cell having its own membrane.

This means Albedo’s cells can only handle a certain amount before a threshold is reached, but each of Merciless’s cells could hold four times more than one of Albedo’s current cells.

But overall, and verbally speaking, that was the general upgrade Merciless now had.

On the other hand, as he walked out of the wormhole, he met his creations and Anastasia waiting outside the cavern, awaiting his return.

Fear was evident in their expressions, a natural response to his presence. He possessed not only this unique energy-based power via Valkos Awakening but also an acute understanding of energy wavelengths, allowing him to attune to every form of energy within his vicinity.

As he vibrated these wavelengths, he could scramble the wavelengths, which in turn allowed him to perceive and manipulate them, disrupting the surrounding energy patterns regardless of their nature.

The deeper his attunement, the stronger his corruption energy became. For some reason, he had pure corruption; nevertheless, this energy could infiltrate the energy patterns, corrupting them and instilling overwhelming dread, inciting madness within those nearby.

Energy patterns, such as aura, represent the natural ki inherent in every conscious being with awareness. An aura embodies an individual’s unique qualities and is synonymous with ki—an energy that derives from chi, the fundamental force responsible for life itself.

However, Merciless discovered a paradox within vampires: while they possess ki via awareness, they lack chi in the normal sense, as they exist in a state that is technically dead.

Vampirism creates an illusion of life within their bodies, giving them the nature that allows them to navigate the world with a semblance of false vitality. Intriguingly, he can sense ki emanating from their essence as a result of awareness, which gives rise to distinct uniqueness, but he also detects their ichor and private parts—basically, their balls, dicks, wombs, and vaginas.

This suggests that all ichor is, in a way, living like plants and trees.

But it makes him ponder: why does a vampire’s private area remain alive, out of all the parts of their bodies? It couldn’t be simple, right?

He thought, but Ophelia, unfortunately, did not have an answer, or rather, he did not have all of Ophelia—much less the other vampire memories in his team. And the ones he did kill and eat whole, even with all their memories, also had no idea.

Another thing: he asked Carmilla, but she said she didn’t know, meaning that was unimportant information, so it was not in the database or the House of Ghal the same way they did not know.

But he could feel it—the millions upon trillions of sperm in his testicles, all with chi but no ki, and each sperm had a lot more chi than some vampires here in the exam. This suggests that his sperm may be as aberrant as he was. He couldn’t detect a soul in them either; if his offspring were soulless from the start, it would make sense, but he had a feeling something was wrong with his body, but he just didn’t know what it was.

But besides the point, this new sense of awareness and sensitivity to energy made him more powerful, but it made him question a lot of things.

When his corruption permeates other energy forms, Merciless can establish a foothold, infecting their essence. In the case of Carmilla, she wields conceptual energy, which allows her to manipulate his vampirism concepts; he disrupts the wavelength and infiltrates it from there.

This unique attribute explains why he could drive her to madness in those earlier instances.

For Substance and Anastasia, the dynamics are more straightforward. Both experience his influence through chi, as every cell in Merciless’s body is composed of his ichor, a biological material that is supernatural in nature.

In essence, he has become a colossal entity of living ichor material from Darwinism. So, unlike other vampires, he was weird; he was both dead and alive in body, minus his private areas—a realization that has dawned upon him due to his newfound energy-based abilities. When he enters his Valkos state, it can be active for as long as he willed it to be.

As a result, Anastasia, who possesses his cells within her, feels his corruption infiltrating her aether unlike the others but can’t purge it for some reason, and has no clue how to, given that Merciless was using his cells as conduits to reach her.

All energy types, minus corruption energy—which is a product of chaos—originally stem from aether, which is the mother energy of all energy in the tree.

As such, Merciless’s pure corruption was canceling out her pure aether.

Substance, on the other hand, is comprised entirely of Merciless’s cells, making him even more susceptible to this influence.

The Dampas, while technically alive, also harbor his cells within them. Like Anastasia, they embody a conduit situation, where his ichor directly affects their being.

But at that same, time, Carmilla reached out and said.

"Boss, I believe I can permanently connect these servants to your vampirism, as they appear to exist outside Eos’s control and are not properly linked to the concept of your vampirism... due to it not being awakened properly before I came in its withered state."
