GaRHhhH!

A troll angrily lumbered towards Damon as he and Buna prepared themselves for a fight. It seemed like the smell of its partner’s blood had driven it into a frenzy.

Dammit, one after another eh. This is really bad, but if I could take it down…

Damon thought of the reward he could reap from this other troll if he took it down as the seconds ticked past. With the teamwork between him and the wolf, it wouldn’t be too hard to kill the monster because they had a successful plan made already. The only thing was that Damon was exhausted, and could barely fight properly.

I need to succeed on my first try, otherwise, I’ll be in for a beating.

Finally, the troll arrived in front of the two who stood waiting. It was a meter taller than the one from before and looked even more savage. Having confirmed that he would need the power of his mythic class to win this one, Damon took out one of the stored packets of blood and drank it.

Instantly, his body was revitalized as the notification that the +10 stat point buff had indeed been activated.

[All stats other than the special stats will receive a +10 buff for the next 10 minutes.]

Let’s do this!

And then they sprang into action.

Buna attacked fearlessly at the troll’s legs and lower body, inflicting many shallow puncture wounds, but keeping its attention nonetheless. With the new vampire fangs and claws gifted to him through his newly acquired class, Damon jumped onto the back of the troll. He grabbed onto the troll’s head and stabbed at its eyes, while it attempted to shake him off.

Having recognized that Damon was more of a threat than the wolf with red fur down below, the monster tried to slam him against the wall to knock him off. Fortunately, Damon’s claws had dug deep into the monster’s eyes allowing him to stay hanging.

GArghhHa!

The troll was now blind, for both of its eyes had been wounded by the person on its back. Because of the horrendous pain from losing its eyesight, the towering monster started going into a frenzy, attacking in all directions with no thought.

“Buna! Get away from there-”

Buna tried to retreat, but somehow, one of the troll’s arms that it was swinging around randomly with all its might smashed into the wolf’s side.

aAAWooHH!

Damon’s pet wolf howled in pain, bones clearly crushed from that one fearsome attack.

Dammit, I need to save Buna quickly! But what do I do wit-

Damon had to jump out of the way from another one of the monster’s random attacks. It was lumbering around swinging its arms like a rabid beast without a care if it hit the enemies or not. Finally seeing that the troll wasn’t headed towards his injured companion, he sprinted towards her.

“I still need you Buna, don't die now!”

Remembering something useful from one of his classes, Damon came with an idea. If he truly was a descendant of a powerful vampire like his system stated, then his blood could heal others. Slowly and carefully, Damon let some of the blood from one of his wounds fall into the wolf’s mouth.

Damon’s companion’s breathing calmed down, and it seemed like her body had healed a little bit. A familiar notification sound rang, but it’s owner was currently occupied. Now that he had assured that Buna wouldn’t die anytime soon, the blood drenched teen had to take care of the enemy swiftly.

Damon decided that aiming for the throat was a good idea this time, after all, if any living thing didn’t have access to air then they would die. Most of his body’s energy was transferred to his legs because they would be doing most of the work for this final strike, at least Damon hoped it would be the final strike.

Hup!

The teen that very much resembled a vampire leaped into the air towards the troll’s head while it was still dumbly swinging its arms around. This would be Damon’s last chance at winning this battle. Buna was injured and most likely not able to fight, and even his own buff was close to running out.

If this strike didn’t hit… no he had to make sure it hit!

As Damon soared through the air, he yelled out something which made the troll turn towards the sound. The neck was now in clear view, and Damon prepared himself.

“Dieeeeee!!!”

Flying straight towards the monster’s exposed neck through the air, Damon pulled his arms back and thrust his arms forwards with his remaining energy.

The claws pierced right through the neck of the monster. The two were so close that the foul smell coming off the body of the troll invaded Damon’s nose. That wasn’t important though, what was important was that his claws were deeply imbedded into the monster’s thick neck and blood was gushing out.

GuUrgeLAgaA!

The choking sound coming from the dying monster was unpleasant yet strangely satisfying to his ears. Making sure that the thing was finally dead, Damon removed his hands and lay down on the ground while breathing heavily.

“Are you ok master?” asked a girl’s voice out of nowhere.

Huh!?

Out of surprise, the tiredness he had been feeling was quickly gone as Damon turned his head towards the origin of the voice. Buna was nowhere to be seen, but a girl with fur was standing in her place.

She was...cute.

Wow, she’s cute.

Her clear skin and fine face stood out the most, her body was well developed with a bouncy pair of things attached to her chest, and her legs were long and slender. After the initial look at her though, Damon noticed something unusual about the girl. She had a pair of wolf ears and a tail, both which were covered in red fur.

“Is that you… Buna?” questioned Damon in a weak voice.

“Yes it is master. It seems like you need some help there,” replied the changed Buna. As Buna came to help Damon sit upright, the baffled teen body that no longer had weapons attached to his body (Claws and fangs) asked several questions.

“How did your body change? Also, why are you calling me master? How can you speak!”

“I don’t know honestly. I blacked out for a few moments after you graciously healed me, and then I awoke to a dead troll and you collapsed over here,” said Buna in a matter of fact way. “More importantly, I am very grateful to have been saved by master!”

Damon remembered something important that had occured in the middle of the battle, so he told her to save the thanks for later. A notification had appeared around the same time he had healed his companion. His system was opened and the notification said,

[The target’s ‘Obedience Level’ has went from (Cooperative) to (Loyal) after ingesting the host’s blood.]

[Owner] Damon Zellar

[Subordinate Name] Buna

[Obedience Level] Loyal

[Power Level] 2

[Form] Werewolf (Evolved from ‘Wolf’ due to the consumption of Progenitor Vampire Descendant’s blood.)

Ability when fighting alongside ‘Owner’:

-Owner’s stats other than ‘Special Stats’ +2

-Subordinate’s ‘Power Level’ increased by 0.5

All of that information popped up when Damon requested for info on Buna inside his mind. It seemed like Buna had evolved and became completely loyal to him only because she consumed some of Damon’s own blood.

Does that mean any monster that tastes my blood becomes my subordinate?

As if to answer his question, the system responded..

[To obtain a ‘Loyal’ subordinate, the blood of a Progenitor Vampire Descendant must be consumed by one who has a ‘Cooperative’ ‘Obedience Level’ first. Also, the subordinate will increase their power level because of the consumption of the blood.]

So it seems because of my class, my blood will make cooperative subordinates completely loyal and give them the extra push to make them stronger. It seems like my blood also has the option to evolve their form. That explains why Buna looks like a human and can communicate with me now.

There were certain buffs if she fought along with Damon too, including a buff to all his stats by 2 and his new subordinate to receive an increase in strength.

“Why are you so happy master? I am still so very happy that you saved me back there!” said Buna excitedly.

“No problem,” said Damon with a cheerful smile on his face. “You’ll be a big help with my battles from now on as well, so I’m also glad I saved you.”

“Thank you so much master!” said Buna in admiration.

I got an excellent subordinate, who’s pretty cute too! Not only is she pretty, she increases my battle strength as well! This is such a great turn of events!

“Do you need me to collect possible drops from the troll master?” asked Buna.

“Yeah sure, just let me bathe in happiness for now,” replied Damon dazedly as he watched his cute, loyal werewolf look for item drops while also thinking about what he could accomplish now.

Ah, if this wasn’t an alternate dimension resembling hell that is ruled by a devil, I’d say I would be blessed.”

With a sigh, Damon resigned himself to some rest and to watch Buna do her thing, now that there weren’t any monsters around.
