[Day 53]

Today, I woke early in the morning due to an eerie feeling.

​​

It was Alice, who once again was very close to me while watching me sleep, should I get used to this?

Also, it seems that she doesn't need to sleep at all. Well, perhaps I don't need either, but it just feels relaxing to do so.

"Good Morning Master!"

"Alice…"

While my wives were sleeping, I decided to inspect Alice status and her skills, I was quite surprised by some of her changes.

[Zapping Blood Fascination] [Obsessive Nature] [Cursed Thunder Blood]

[Familiar Summoning Magic: Thunderstorm Blood Phoenix]

[Devastating Thunder Blood Mark Awakening]

[Thunder Blood Lance Kriemhild Cursed Techniques: 10]

First of all, after becoming a "Dhampir" or Half-Vampire, her stats were increased by at least 50 in each Stat, I didn't remember her having such high stats before.

Secondly, after becoming a Dhampir, her level cap changed from the usual 999 that humans have to 150, meaning that she will be able to evolve.

Although I'm not sure if humans can evolve after reaching level 999, I've read that there are legends of humans evolving into a Demi-God after reaching their max level, but there have never been any registered cases of such thing happening.

And third, Alice skills have changed quite a lot. She lost Zeus Blessing and gained my Blessing instead, alongside my curse too.

She also gained several natural Dhampir Skills alongside a strange type of magic named [Thunder Blood Magic]. Her original skills changed according to this, for example, her previous skill named [Zapping Determination] changed to [Zapping Blood Fascination].

Another interesting example is her [Destructive Thunder Awakening] which transformed into [Devastating Thunder Blood Mark Awakening].

Wanting to try out her new skills compared to the ones I stole from her after sucking her blood, I invited her to spar with me on the Training Grounds, there wasn't anyone here yet as it was very early in the morning.

Just as I thought, her power increased quite a lot, and her "evolved" Skills were also of incredible strength.

It seems that her old golden lance evolved with her, and I discovered that it was a [Sacred Relic], a weapon given to her by her Epic after fulfilling certain conditions.

The usual golden and beautiful lance became an intimidating crimson-colored lance with several spikes and horns, decorated with several black and crimson gems. It even changed its name from Mercurius to Kriemhild.

Alice was incredibly fierce in battle and used her powerful lance to create destructive barrages of thundering stabs. Her new techniques used both Thunder and Blood Magic, giving her a new layer of strength.

She was able to create Thunder Blood Bats that would accumulate around her. She was able to control them and use them to attack different enemies at the same time. She was also able to create small after images of herself on the battlefield, confusing her foes.

Her endurance and pain tolerance also increased; she didn't feel almost any pain while being able to take on incredibly strong hits that would usually shatter a normal human bone to dust.

She was able to manipulate the blood of the ones she defeated and create different things, enhancing the blood with thunder, she could use it to transform her lance into a powerful longbow and shoot Thunder Arrows from a distance.

Lastly, her strongest technique was her Awakening, when she used this Skill, a strange tattoo made of blood will appear on her chest, which seemed to resemble a bat with four wings. When the tattoo activated, it would shine on a bright yellow, enhancing Alice strength several times, creating a powerful Yellow and Red Aura that was able to generate a "Mini Domain" of Thunder and Blood, increasing the power of her techniques related to these two elements.

I also tried the skill that I stole from her, and the results were similar, my body was engulfed on a powerful and bright Thunder Aura, creating a small Thunder Domain that would decrease the power of non-thunder attacks and increase my thunder related attacks.

As I fought against Alice, she always looked at me with a fascinated smile, while laughing, she seemed to enjoy this more than I thought.

"Let's fight! Let's fight, Master! Hahaha! Can you take this? Here~!"

FLASH!

Suddenly, Alice threw an incredibly strong and fast red-colored lighting from her lance, hitting me right on my body.

Although she had rather low stats compared to me, her skills were very strong, causing some damage to me, burning half of my chest, which received the hit.

Of course, the damage was quickly mitigated by my fast regeneration and [Thunder Absorption]. However, even when having this, the Red Thunder was different than a pure magic attack, so it was able to penetrate my immunity and deal direct damage.

"Oooh! Master is so strong! Aaaah! Let's keep fighting forever!"

It has been several hours already, and the rest of the people living on my castle began to wake up over the loud sounds of our battle.

In the end, I decided to knock her out with a strong Claymore Ultimate Technique named [One Hundred Cross Smashes] using my Ollathir Demon Sword.

Because she was a blessed human and also became a Dhampir, Alice possessed incredible regenerative capabilities.

Even when I broke several of her bones and destroyed her right arm, a powerful red lighting covered her body and began to regrow her lost limbs while accommodating her broken bones. In less than 20 seconds, she was back to normal, but still unconscious.

"Well, she looks very beautiful when she's asleep"

When I went back to my room, my wives were already taking their daily bath so I quickly joined them.

I told them about Alice strength as they looked at me with suspiciousness, they still don't trust her enough, it seems.

They stayed with the same mood for the rest of the bath, so I ended up giving them all some love until they were satisfied. After that, all of them had relaxed and happy smiles.

This is isn't the best way to deal with jealously alongside humans, but it seems to work on monsters and demi-humans for the most part.

I suppose they take it as a "reminder" of how much I love each one, while also reassuring my dominance over them.

After having a hearty breakfast of mostly fruits, I went to my throne room and received the two remaining exploration teams that have come back today.

These two teams were the Blood Ladies Team, composed of my three Blood Servants; Serious, Weird and Clumsy alongside four quite strong Goblins and the Wyvern and Spirits Team 2, it contained Meiji as a leader, Aether, Hypnos, Vulcanus, Kjata, Eshne, Titus and Nymph.

All of them came stronger than before, especially my three Blood Servants, who surprisingly evolved once again, becoming "Crimson Blood Elves" and gaining a physical body.

I was able to easily tell which one was each as their new bodies were similar to how they showed themselves as Blood Servants.

Crimson Blood Elves possess large and slim bodies with pale red skin with a beautiful pink luster, their hair is usually deep red, but Weird had black hair instead. They had long pointer ears and a refined beauty, which was accentuated by their beautiful Ruby-like crimson eyes.

Each one possessed a small red gem on their forehead named [Crimson Blood Weapon Orb], which gave them the power to summon their own unique weapons that would be able to grow alongside themselves.

Their team went towards the Sunlight Shrine Dungeon, a place filled with strong Light and Fire related monsters, the last boss was named [Sunlight Ra Emperor], a powerful red-colored bird that was able to control small suns that rotated around its body, it was a very tough battle and it took them several days to beat this boss, making the entire team push their limits.

The Goblins accompanying the three Blood Servants ended up creating strong bonds with them, which influenced their evolution at the end. Two Goblins evolved into Half-Blood Lords directly, while the other three evolved into Blood Hobgoblins.

Half-Blood Lords possess a similar appearance than Crimson Blood Elves, however, they have stronger and sturdier bodies alongside an imposing horn that seems to be made of ruby on their forehead.

Unlike Crimson Blood Elves, Half-Blood Lords are more centered on berserk-like fighting styles, being able to collect blood through battle, exponentially increasing their power.

A thing to note is that although both of these races are related to blood, none of them is a Dhampir or Vampire. They possess a strong blood lust and enjoy big massacres, but don't need to consume blood to keep living.

According to Serius, after completing this dungeon, they discovered a hidden room were the boss accumulated several riches, obtaining thousands of gold coins, precious gems and spirit crystals.

Of course, all of this went towards the Kingdom treasury, but I shared some of the treasures to each one for their work and effort. They also gained several prices from Reward Gifts, including some [Unique+++] weapons and armor, which I didn't take from them.

On the other hand, the Wyvern and Spirit Team 2 was led by Meiji, explored the Volcanic Shrine Dungeon, which was filled with dangerous Lava and Fire related monsters. Even the Wyverns and Vulcanus, the Fire Spirit, had a hard time on this place, due to the strength of the monsters.

The last boss of this dungeon was the [Volcanic Sea Turtle Emperor], a powerful turtle that inhabited a gigantic pool of lava, it had an obsidian shell, eight limbs, and three heads, each head was intelligent and was able to attack on their own, making the battle incredibly difficult.

On this journey, two spirits evolved, these were my first spirit which I haven't given much attention lately, Kjata and the Water Spirit summoned by Meiji, Nymph.

Kjata was a powerful and imposing floating living armor which was covered on flames and used two flaming axes as its main way of attacking. After evolving, it seems that Kjata gained more intelligence and doesn't act as a robot anymore.

Kjata became a "she" and can manifest herself as a humanoid being made of fire outside from its flaming armor. Due to this, she gained the power to wear her armor while on this form, increasing her agility greatly, but lowering her attack power. Kjata humanoid form resembles a small, flat-chested girl with brown skin and red hair that resembles blazing flames. She has beautiful orange eyes and a "Core" on her forehead, which is her real body.

Nymph on the other side, similar to Nereid and Sylph, gained a bigger size, resembling a young human girl, her blue hair grew larger, reaching her feet and she gained a more detailed semi-transparent dress that resembled blue flower petals.

Everyone else become stronger and the rest of the spirits were close to their third evolutions. I expect them to obtain a form similar to Kjata, because she gained her enhanced intelligence and humanoid transformation thanks to evolving three times already.

Something interesting that I've noticed is that none of the exploration teams have obtained a [Dungeon Core] to take over the dungeons, I have several theories of why is that, and the most plausible one is that these dungeons aren't considered "true dungeons" by the system, only becoming corrupted by the excessive magic accumulated due to the sealed spirits. And still being considered Shrines.

Of course, this could change, I will keep monitoring these dungeons with my flesh and slime minions, and inspect if the monsters keep spawning or if the dungeon bosses appear once again.

It seems that these last two dungeons didn't possess spirits of their own, they either perished long ago or escaped somehow.

After assessing the two teams, I went with Zehe towards the Bloody Sacrifice Dungeon. Today the three expedition teams are coming back from this "AFK Minigame" of sorts, and I'm curious about how much loot they bring with them.
