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

Chapter 149 Demon Transformation



-----

Ellergest approached the struggling maid, who had suddenly transformed into a Lesser Demon through special means. The one behind this entire thing had put a curse on her, wherever she were to try revealing the "lady" identity, this curse would take over her and she would become a Lesser Demon, how interesting.

It seems that whoever is behind this is not just a mere jealous wife or concubine, or if she is, then it is someone with a way deeper background than we thought. This makes me think that this entire noble family might be involved in a greater plot.

How annoying, I just wanted to make some money by healing some rich people, not get myself involved in such a mess… However, because it involves demons, it has become quite personal now. It frustrates me to know that demons have seeped their poison so deep into this world's society that even people use them for their selfish purposes. Well, not like I wouldn't do it, but it still irrationally angers me. I suppose it could be said I just hate demons rather childishly. But that's how I am.

As Ellergest approached the demon girl, he was about to deliver a killing blow to her. The old man seemed ruthless, he was perhaps well experienced in fighting demons, and he called Lesser Demons "Demon Pawns" which makes sense to me. The best would indeed be to kill her right away before she recovers and tries to attack somebody else.

However, it seems that the rest of the people didn't want that, even after seeing the girl not being the same as she was a few seconds ago. She had even attempted to bite off the neck of the brown-haired maid, yet the two seemed to not want her to die.

"W-Wait! You're actually going to kill her?!" Asked Jack in horror.

"G-Gabriela… Who did this to her…?!" Asked the black-haired maid.

"No, please don't kill her! Gabriela is like my sister…!" Cried the brown-haired maid.

"Don't get yourself tricked! This demon is now wearing her body, Gabriela is dead. Her soul is trapped in this body and will only deteriorate, it is my duty to bring her down and send her to the Holy Spirits… She confessed her sins, and she'll be forgiven, do not worry! The mercy of the holy spirits knows no bounds… I will take away the pain in your face, girl." Said Ellergest. He seemed to have been used to taking people down like this, and his expressions… It seems he was filled with sorrow and regret, but he was also filled with motivation to do it anyway. It was painful for him to kill a young girl with a big future ahead of herself, but he had no option than to do what he believed was the right thing to do.

However, I wasn't guided by such types of fanaticism over religions, and I stopped him before he committed a terrible and foolish mistake that would only ruin our entire investigation.

"Wait." I said. "Ellergest, don't be a fool. Don't you realize hat through her we can learn who did this?"

"What? Blank, you of all people are trying to stop me?" He asked.

"I am not against killing demons…" I said. "However, she knows information that we won't be able to figure out otherwise. Let me handle this… I think I can figure out something, give me more of your Holy Light Attribute Mana. You too, Elisabeth, quickly."

"Eh? M-Me? O-Okay!" Elisabeth said. She was a rather obedient girl.

"What?! Do you know that you cannot really save her, right? It won't work!" He said. "Once… a person turns into a Demon Pawn, they won't go back, no matter what. We have tried so many things, so many spells, so many spirit abilities, so many skills… But the only solution is to either kill them or trap them somewhere, where they only dive deeper into their own insane demonic minds… I was once forced to take down my own apprentice because I was plotted against by a Demon Cultist and he was converted into a Demon Pawn! Y-You know the pain and how it feels? But I had to do it… And you won't stop me from taking this girl out of her misery!"

The old man got rather angered. He thought that a way to heal these people was impossible. Even when I just showed him how I took away the curse of Lady Treebark. I suppose being old doesn't always mean being wise, he's clearly ignorant with a severe lack of touch.

…But that's to be expected of people that originate from this world. They cannot really see the wider picture, they are incapable of comprehending things beyond what they see with their two eyes. Manipulation of energies is something basic you learn in the outer universe, even demon energy can be manipulated, dispelled, and more with enough mastery over Energy Manipulation.

After all, all energies converge into the single energy that fuels everything in existence, Dimensional Essence. Once you're able to grasp this knowledge and comprehend even a small speck of it, you are able to manipulate all other energies with less difficulty. Although my comprehension over the manipulation of Dimensional Essence was incredibly low, below 1%, it was more than enough to be able to easily manipulate all other energies.

Even as a child this knowledge and comprehension remains, and this is what helps me easily shape Mana, Qi, Aether and… Demon Energy.

"You saw me dispel a Demon Curse on this woman and you still doubt me?" I asked. "I have figured my own ways. I know we have yet to know each other better, old man, but stop being so foolishly ignorant for once in your lifetime."

"Ah…! Blank, you're going a bit too far in there!" He roared angrily. However, a little hand touched his white robes, Ellergest stopped moving as he looked down.

"Papa, trust him! I think… He's someone we can trust." Said Elisabeth. "My Seraph said he knows how to do stuff!"

"Your Seraph said so…? Hmm… Sigh… Very well." Elisabeth convinced Ellergest faster than any of my words. This old man had a weakness for this girl.
