RE:BORN Zombie

After Victor transformed back to his first form, he and Langscter continued their journey towards the next and closest family, once again, Langscter taking the lead.

It was good that Langscter had an idea of which family had more vampires than the other, and the trend was clear. The stronger families had less vampires, and the weaker ones had more. It was not to say that the weaker families weren't strong, but they either had few strong vampires in them, or they had strong vampires that were nothing special unlike the other vampires.

Victor also learnt from Langscter that each family had a unique power that was native to them, and that some families even had identical powers, but one was always stronger than the other. Some of these families with identical powers ended up combining and becoming ne family, coming to their different agreements. All the information was good to know, but it wasn't like it did much for Victor in the end, they were all going to become his experience points and evolution materials.

Their powers were mostly based on elements, but there were a few variations and abstract ones, like those that had the innate power to control humans like their dolls and all that. Some were creative like that.

After travelling none stop for a day and half, they reached the next vampire settlement. Victor didn't know how long the gate would last open, so he couldn't waste any time in that world. Gates normally tend to last longer open than dungeons even after they had been cleared, but this one wasn't natural to begin with, and there wasn't really any boos monster to kill. Not to say, Victor had also tested his skill and tried to teleport back into his world, and even his max levelled teleportation skill didn't work.

From what Victor could sense, the number of vampires in this vampire settlement was more than the one of the previous vampires he ate, and it seemed like not all vampires lived on the edges of cliffs, as these guys almost had the design of a small town. Give the scene a red moon and a couple of sharingan, and that would change the scene of what was happening quite fast, the only difference being that after a while of killing, the other vampires came out to fight their enemy. They weren't human and had improved senses, so the disappearance of their kind nearby was noticed soon enough.

Seeing the vampires coming together to attack, Victor was not going to damage his food, so after a long time of not using this skill, Victor decided it was time. While the vampires faired better against mind control and psychological attacks, they already showed fear towards Victor a bit, and that was all Victor needed as he released his suppression on his Undead Aura. That very moment, many vampires fell dead to the floor.

It would seem that the vampires weren't all that scared of Victor as not many of them fell dead considering their number, but the second the initial ones fell to the ground, it seemed to cause a chain effect, as an opponent who could kill without doing anything was quite terrifying, and others who showed fear fell too.

After that all he needed to do was take care of the rest, and instead of fight with all of them he simply used his skill Death Curse and was done with it. He should have thought of it sooner, as using that skill was more efficient, the only drawback being that it was MP consuming.

Victor made sure to live a few vampires alive, around fifty, and their job was to gather all the bodies in one place. After they did that, Victor no longer needed to store the bodies in his inventory for another time, he directly swallowed everything chunk after chunk and soon nothing was left.

The vampires he left alive were the strongest of them all, but he still went ahead to eliminate around 45 or so of them and left only the strongest. Amongst these 45, Ramksih was one of them. Since the other vampires knew just as much as him, and even more since the stronger ones held higher positions in their families and naturally were more knowledgeable, Langscter had lost his use. This was not an orphanage either, so there was no way he would survive.

As such, Victor continued going to other families and doing the same thing, and after that taking with him the strong ones. He even evolved all of them using the vampire essence he got from eating the other vampires (their evolution materials), and they ended up becoming even stronger. At the moment, they all had reached the level of a Vampire Lord, and that alone was a force.

After going through close to 8 families, the vampire society seemed to have noticed something amiss, and soon enough, it was clear that they were being attacked after Victor destroyed the 9th family. To Victor's expectation, the remaining families banded together to fight their enemy, and it soon became a blown out war.

Amongst the vampire army, a particular family was missing, and from what Victor learnt from his subordinates, they were the strongest family, but it didn't matter. If they were wise enough not to participate, it was alright.

It had been a week and some days since Victor entered this world, and at this point in time, Victor already had over 200 vampires under him, and all of them were Vampire Lord rank. He himself had also evolved and was now in the rank of vampire Lord. It only helped more that all of them were the strongest and most talented of each of their families, so apart from their rank, their other capabilities showed.

By the end of the second week, all the vampires had gathered and started moving towards Victor. He could have of course disrupted this arrangement, but he allowed it as it would make his life way easier of the food all came into one plate.

When the face off held, the other side said nothing to the other, but Victor could feel the gazes that the vampires directed towards their so called comrades behind Victor. Most of them couldn't help but thing they were being controlled, but that aside, it was news that the vampires had over two hundred vampire lords. Seeing what was before them, the vampires knew it was to become a tough battle, but they didn't lose confidence.

The battle started and both sides pounced on themselves. This was also going to be the first time Victor had properly utilized his legion, and he really wished the others were around.

With his skill Domain of the Dead at max level, the area of effect was pretty wide, and that was where Victor and his legion operated. The good thing was that Victor could declare an area to be the domain while he was still able to live the domain.

It was simply put, utter destruction.

..

[Domain of the Undead]

Declare a region of space as your domain. All undead allies within your domain receive an increase of 70% to attack and defense, and mana consumption is greatly reduced. All opponents within the domain receive a -50% to their attack and defense, while skills retain the same level of functionality.

Level: MAX

Mana cost: Varies

..

Another thing was that Victor could make more than a single domain at a time, and to say the least, having all the two hundred and something vampire lords in one domain was overkill, so Victor spread them across six domains, each covering a radius of 130 metres or so. Victor himself and some of the legion took care of the vampires that were outside these regions.

Without giving the vampires a chance to showcase their skills, Victor and his legion completely ravaged the other side in record time and the legion got to work gathering the bodies. Victor and instructed for the most powerful ones to be kept alive, which they were, and he simply added them to his collection after the war was finished basically.

The whole event took place in a rocky region that barely had any advantageous coverings or things like that, kind of like a typical medieval war, so no vampire was left to escape, it was not an option.

Of course, these was the entire vampire community had to offer, as it was quite obvious that they didn't take every single of their kind into the battle. They couldn't give birth to younger generation, so the usual leaving of female and children was not the case, but then...

"Let's see how much these many will get me." Victor said after looking at the mountain of bodies that was gathered before him. (Of course, it isn't an actual mountain...)

With the natural ability of the Eye Liner to completely melt anything with powerful stomach acids, Victor could worry less about what would become of the clothes he would eat and all the other extras. If not for that additional ability, he really might have to eat them naked.
