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



-----

"Take care! Please don't die! PLEASE DON'T DIE!"

"We are not going to die, Evelyn!"

"Calm down a bit, you sound like such a paranoiac woman now…"

"T-This is all your fault! You damn kids… Why did you even had to choose the C++ Rank Dungeon from all of them?!"

As Evelyn screamed at us from above the ground, we slowly descended through the stairs of the C++ Rank Dungeon we were going to complete today.

While everyone else decided to pick the C- Rank Dungeons, we thought that would be a bit too boring for us, and because we wanted them to have them for themselves, we picked another difficulty.

Alberta and Eric insisted on picking the C Rank, they were equally cowardly sometimes… But eventually, by majority of votes, we all went to the C++ Rank. The only ones that voted against were Eric and Alberta anyways.

"Wow, the stairs are going all the way down, we've walked for a while now." Erika pointed out.

Several bright lights floated above our heads, they were Light Bulbs, conjured by Elizabeth's light magic for convenience, they flew all the way down and illuminated the entire stairs for us.

"So anyways, what was the dungeon name?" Chris wondered, resting his arms behind his head.

"You didn't study what it was?!" Elizabeth reprimanded him.

"E-Eh? But I thought we'll figure it out either way!" Chris sighed, trying to calm her down. "C-Come on Elizabeth don't look at me like that…"

"You're far too carefree sometimes." Erdrich sighed. "Though… I don't remember the name either."

"Geez! You two are so, SO irresponsible! The name of the Dungeon is obviously the… The Lair… Ogre Nest?" Asked Erika.

"That was the previous dungeon we visited dummy." Eleanora giggled, resting over my shoulders in her tiny and fluffy Blood Bat form.

"I can't believe you would confuse this one with that one, they're completely different!" Elfriedden said. "This Dungeon's name is-"

"Spider Queen's Nest." I said with a smile. "The most Dangerous C++ Rank Dungeon, even comparable in difficulty with B- Rank Dungeons. The Boss Monster is the powerful Giant Abyssal Spider Queen, Arachneia. The Dungeon is also filled with all sorts of Spider Monsters and Bug-type Monsters of gigantic sizes, who mostly specialize on venom and darkness element, therefore, even strong parties refuse to enter because they can't buy enough antidotes for all the venom they'll have to swallow and inhale, hah…"

"You interrupted me…" Elfriedden glared at me furiously.

"I was the one they asked for an answer, Elfriedden, not you." I said. "Anyways, instead of bothering over such a trivial thing, let's focus on what we've got in front of ourselves."

One we landed on the last stair, we reached the first of three floors that this C++ Rank Dungeon had. Maybe three floors didn't seem like too much, but each floor was a gigantic, labyrinthian section of caves covered on sticky spiderweb and filled with Giant Bugs crawling everywhere.

And the landscapes was pretty much the same as we arrived on the first floor. Enormous caverns leading to multiple paths, glowing crystals growing in the ceiling, and giant spiderwebs spreading everywhere, with massive insect carcasses, completely dry, lying around.

"T-This place… Its huge!" Erika said in shock.

"This is much larger than the Ogre Dungeon!" Eric said. "U-Ugh, this is going to be tough."

"L-Let's do our best…" Alberta sighed.

"To think Dungeons can do such things, it is as if entirely different worlds lay within these mysterious places." Elizabeth said with a smile filled with wonder.

"Isn't it?" I smiled. "That's why I want to visit many of them, it feels like going to another country completely, it is really fun."

"F-Fun?" Eric asked, looking around at the giant carcasses of bugs, pieces of legs, and tiny bugs the size of cats, resembling pill bugs, crawling around and eating what was left from the spider's meals, they didn't seem to pay attention to us, and were only F Rank Monsters named "Trash Bugs" not even worth hunting.

"Oh, those tiny bugs, can we hunt them?" However, Erika wanted to hunt them anyways.

"Hmm… Actually, let's just do that." I laughed. "Erdrich, can you provoke them all to come at us?"

"These small fry?" Erdrich raised an eyebrow. "Sure, I guess. [Demon's Provocation]!"

FLAAASH!

His body exuded a red shockwave everywhere, and then, hundreds of small Trash Bugs started rushing towards us on enormous quantities, clicking their mandibles and groaning.

"Alright Erika, have fun." I said with a smile.

"Alright!" Erika was about to warm-up.

"Hey, I'm joining too." Elfriedden said. "I've become a bit rusty."

"Me too! I'll burn it all!" Chris laughed.

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

All three of them jumped into action.

"HYAAAA! [Spinning Blade]!"

Erika swung her large demonic sword around while leaping at an incredibly fast speed, slashing apart dozens of pill bugs per swing, their guts and bodies splattering everywhere.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLAAASH!

"[Frost Domain]!"

Meanwhile, Elfriedden conjured a small domain of frost around his body, instantly freezing anything that stepped within four meters around him, and then using his threads to shatter them into tiny pieces.

CRASH! CRASH! CRAAASH!

"[Blazing Coil]!"

Lastly, Chris had fun conjuring a spiraling coil of flames around his surroundings, which burned the bugs into a crisp and sent their burned bodies into the air, broken into pieces.

FLUOOOSH!

Eventually, the noise of this small warm-up, and the smell of the freshly sliced and splattered guts of the Trash Bugs instantly brought the attention of much bigger prey, which was actually my aim from the start.

TRUM! TRUM! TRUM!

Their gigantic legs stepped over the walls and ceiling of the caverns, as they quickly found us, a dozen Giant Abyssal Spider Workers, C+ Rank Monsters, their sizes were about four to five meters each, intimidating wouldn't be enough to describe their appearances and overwhelming auras.

"SHYAAAAAA!"

They instantly charged towards us the moment they spotted us, as I pointed my spear at the first one in the line, while over fifty summons appeared around me, one after the other, my own small army.

"Let's begin."
