Vampire Summoner's Rebirth: Summoning The Vampire Queen At The Start

-----

"That's a special ritual we do in the church of Holy Spirits. Touching the hand of a priest that passed away is said to give you his blessings." Said Seth. "People all loved Ellergest here, so it is natural they want his blessing."

"Let's go get his blessing then!" Said Erika, holding Elizabeth's hand.

"Papa's blessing…" Erika sighed.

Like that, we joined the line, and slowly, we finally reached Ellergest.

Everyone touched his hand lightly before walking away, you were even allowed to see his face for a few seconds.

When Elizabeth's turn came, she touched her father's hand, sighing.

"Papa… It's… cold." She sighed.

FLASH!

However, a sudden flash of light emerged from within Ellergest chest.

"What is that?!"

"Light?!"




"Did someone conjured magic?"

"No, nobody did… there's no magic circle!"

"It is coming from his chest, where his Spirit Orb is!"

"Is this some sort of miracle?! And it happened just when his daughter touched him!"

The people began to quickly grow more surprised, as Elizabeth felt shocked.
"P-Papa?!"

FLASH!

The light from within Ellergest was transferred to Elizabeth across his arm, reaching her body and then concentrating within her chest, merging with her Spirit Orb.

"Take good care of my spirits, Elizabeth…"

"Eh? Papa?! Papa!"

Elizabeth began to call for Ellergest after we all heard his voice, but there was no response.

The light faded away from her father's chest as well, and everything went back to normal.

"Just what… was that?" Wondered Erika.

"It felt as if Ellergest transferred his magic to her?" Wondered Chris.

"Ah! I've heard about this…" Eric said. "Or well, I've read about it! This is called… Spirit Orb Inheritance. It is when a person gives someone else all their power, it can only be done when they die though… and through a very strong wish. Even spirits and magic power, or even skills can be transferred. I think it's a special type of magic."

So people can inherit one another with power through this way? However, just as Eric speculates, it is most likely a special magic, it cannot be just done with anybody so easily. Ellergest was a powerful and wise magician, he probably knew of this method and had preemptively conjured it over Elizabeth.

Maybe the way to trigger it would be if he died and she touched his body… Nonetheless, Elizabeth has been granted an incredible power, and not only she got magic power, but her mana also started to flow across her body even stronger than before.

It wasn't all of Ellergest Mana though, but there was certainly a big part of it that was inherited to her in the instant she touched his hand. Due to wanting some privacy, Elizabeth quickly was brought back to her room in the church by Seth and Jack, and we all accompanied them.

Now that we were in her room, she quickly sat down, suddenly feeling her Mana beginning to flow faster and stronger, growing bigger, as if an enormous aura of golden light surged from her body, shaping itself.

Alongside the Mana, her aura grew several times bigger, as a dragon and a turtle materialized in front of her. They were smaller than before, and seemed way weaker, but those two were very recognizable, Ellergest's two spirits, the Holy Dragon, and the Mountain Turtle.

"Y-You guys…" Elizabeth said in surprise.

"We were waiting for you for a while now, lass." Said the dragon.

"You took your time…" Sighed the turtle tiredly, looking rather sleepily.

"W-What is happening?!" Asked Elizabeth.

"Well, I guess we should explain to her…" The turtle said.

"Right…" The dragon quickly decided to tell things to Elizabeth. "Ahem! Well, as you can see, the old man… he… well, he's no longer here with us. However, since a while ago that he prepared us to go to your Spirit Orb. This is… his last gift to you."

"Y-You're… becoming my spirits?! But you're two spirits, I cannot really… I am not so high ranked to have three…" Elizabeth said.

"Well there are roundabouts to that, your father prepared a few things. We are partially weakened, but you can summon us any time. The powerful Runes he conjured over your body slowly built and made it capable for you to use us two." Said the holy dragon.

"T-This doesn't make any sense though… Eh?!" Suddenly, Elizabeth realized she had something else within her, a glowing golden orb, right below her first, nearing her belly. "This is…?! Father's Spirit Orb?"

"Yeah, that's right." Said the holy dragon.

"I don't get it at all…" Elizabeth sighed.

"It seems you got his spirit orb somehow…" Said Chris.

"This is…! I can't believe Lord Ellergest knew this technique as well! Spirit Orb Transfer Technique! By willing sacrificing his life, he can transfer his Spirit Orb and its powers to a successor, their power is reduced, but the Rank it has remains! As her primary Spirit Orb develops, Elizabeth can probably awaken her father's powers over time… maybe years." Said Eric.

"Wooah…" Chris said.

"Amazing, Elizabeth!" Erika said.

"With this you can grow even stronger!" Erdrich said.

"But this… I… I didn't earned this… It feels, like I am cheating…" Elizabeth didn't seemed as happy, as she began to feel guilty. "I don't want this… Why… Why didn't you two go with papa to the afterlife?!"

Elizabeth suddenly confronted the two spirits, as they looked at one another, and then back at her. They might look like a long lizard and a turtle, but they were able to express their feelings through their face expressions really easily.

"That's… well, we are simply obeying our master's will, Elizabeth." The Holy Dragon said.

"This is what he wanted. We tried to stop him many times, but he told us that this was our new duty." The Mountain Turtle added.

"Papa…Why would you give me so much… I feel like I don't even deserve anything I have now…" She sighed.

I had to do something to lift her up…
