Chapter 1116: The Vampire Dragon's Ambitions
-----
Sangre sighed, as the memories of his father flowed through his mind. He saw through most of his life now, and realized what made him the monster he became… He only could sigh, because even knowing this, he didn't really regretted what he did.
"So you also had a heart, huh?"
Sangre looked into the window of his black castle within his divine realm, looking into the red moon.
"Though, you lost it long, long ago…"
The vampire dragon, for a few seconds, began to question himself and his own actions.
"Maybe if I… was raised with them… Maybe if I… grew at the side of my little brother…"
Sangre began to imagine a future that never happened.
"Maybe I…"
However, he quickly waved his head, his eyes glowing bright red, as he let those thoughts go away.
"No…"
CRASH!
He crushed the red mirror in front of him.
"There is no time to think about that… I can no longer become different… It was all thanks to him that I became the monster I am. I cannot turn back now, I cannot… In fact, I never had such a past to begin with, from the very beginning… a monster."
He looked into the skies; a smile surged on his jaws.
"Yeah, I never had such thoughts to begin with… Those thoughts were from my weakling "father"… To think he would try to deceive me one last time before his death…"
Sangre walked into an enormous pool of blood, bathing himself within it.
"No that the Unique Skill had grown this strong; I can do several new things… Vampires? How about Vampire Dragons instead? In fact, can't I make one right here?" He laughed, conjuring blood, darkness, and divine power as countless other materials flowed into his hands from the divine monsters he had hunted.
FLAAASH!
Then, in mere seconds, enormous, ten meter big, red-colored eggs appeared out of thin air. He didn't even laid them as he was as male, he simply created new life, dragon eggs that will soon hatch into young vampire dragons! A whole new race of powerful beings!
"While you could only brainwash and transform others into your kin, I've accomplished something you never could do… I've created true new life, an actual, real family…" Sangre laughed. "Even that Family of Vampires in that little city was nothing but a bunch of weaklings. Normal reproduction like mortals do only gave weaker and weaker children, pathetic excuses of living beings…"
Sangre quickly stood up from the pool of blood he used to bathe himself and replenish his Mana and Blood Essence, as he looked down at the dozens of eggs, tiny in comparison to his enormous, gargantuan size.
"If there's something I admired from you was your power, and the amazing ability that the Unique Skill you acquired brought to you… But you wasted its true potential. Once it completely merges with the Draconic Bloodline and then the Fragment of Chaos, which I have already absorbed, you truly make this power bloom."
Sangre's hand shapeshifted, miasma and chaos began pouring from his very hands, covering the eggs and accelerating their growth.
FLAAASH!
"I spent thousands of years hiding not because I was afraid, but because I used your "Miasmic Absorption Formation" to absorb this small Fragment of the Chaos Dragon all to myself… Somehow, thanks to my Primordial Sin developed in the middle of it, I managed to do the impossible. Not even Oberon knows of this yet!" Laughed Sangre. "I've attained… a supreme power."
Crack… crack!
The eggs quickly began to crack, their eggshells shattering into pieces, as creatures appeared from within. They were beautiful black and red scaled dragons, with distinct features and even developing new abilities… yet all the same, they were Vampire Dragons he created with his own blood and divine power.
"Groar!"
"Raar!"
"Gryar!"
"Graar!!"
The little dragons roared for food. They were hungry.
"Here, my children. I have plenty of blood for all of you."
Sangre smiled, as he cut his wrist and began dropping his own blood like a fountain, the little dragons quickly started drinking it, gorging on it, feasting on its delicious sweetness.
"You're only the first generation of many more to come… Welcome to this world, the world that shall be ours soon enough…"
As Sangre feed his new children with a malicious smile, he received a strange notification within his mind, a voice…
[Your Demon King's Seed has developed further…]
[Demon King's Ascension is now possible.]
"Oh… the voice of the world!"
The voice of the world, regardless of which side it stood for, it always announced certain things to certain people.
Those that developed their Calamity Bringer Title enough would develop a Demon King seed.
Which would make them enemies of the entire world and would be persecuted and killed.
And if they did Demon King ascension, they would become the truest of enemies of all life, the ultimate target.
More than a title, it was a deadly curse.
However, because the curse was so strong, it granted immense power to those that wielded such a curse…
Ascending into a Demon King granted the ultimate evolution of this curse, making the user overflow with malicious powers.
"Demon King Ascension… What do I require for it?"
Sangre wanted to do it right away, but there were conditions to it, or well, requirements.
The voice whispered to his mind, not like Drake's system, but like a voice telling me what he must do… or perhaps, threatening him that if he did such atrocious things, he would receive an even worse curse.
[Absorb a million souls.]
[Obtain a Divine Cursed Treasure of your Rank.]
[Accomplish a forbidden taboo, such as hurting a godly being.]
[Bring despair and suffering to five million innocents.]
"I see… To evolve this curse into the ultimate curse, I must do such simple things… How easy."
Sangre smiled.
"Wait just a little bit more, Drake… I will make sure to get back to you and crush you, my little brother."
