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

-----

The Grimoire emerged out of thin air and quickly opened. Its pages fluttering over as the breeze seemed to be moving them, but the book was actually moving by itself, until it finally landed into the section of Eleanora's Status, right at the side, there was her Skill Library. Skills she had already picked would not show up. And it seems that since I acquired two new Talents, she got a few new Skills.

Amazing, she has a great assortment of Skills, way more than she had before! And they're all very specialized into her own capabilities. She had a few new Skills starting from Ninjutsu. The last time I saw her Skills, it only got up to Spear Technique. It seems that as I grow, she can also unlock new and better Skills, but they're also more expensive Skill Point wise.

"There's something new? Ninjutsu, Shadow Shuriken, Nimble and Soundless Movements, and Blood Aura? Ooh! Blood Aura is a strong one! Maybe it can allow me to use our legendary Blood Aura?" She wondered, her red eyes shining brightly with enthusiasm. I could tell she was getting excited about using such a powerful Skill.

Indeed, Blood Aura was a powerful Ability that Vampires could develop. It was one of the first powers that we developed in our previous lives that truly made a sizable difference. It could be used to enhance the body and even the soul several times, and also granted special heightened senses and allowed for the use of greater Blood Arts. It was the staple of any Vampire that wanted to grow stronger and also a pillar to our cultivation.

I have already managed to get the gist of it and used it a bit against the demons two weeks ago, but I had yet to even make it a Skill like Eleanora is capable of. Maybe if we pick it up, I could also use it for myself. After all it is possible to use Eleanora's abilities through our Spirit and Master Connection, just not the extent where it becomes my own Skill like with [Spirit Link]. Still, Shadow Sneak is an amazing Skill to evade hits and also hide, so I am not regretting having chosen it.

"I want to pick Blood Aura, it looks like it is quite promising." Said Eleanora rather filled with determination.

"I see, that's minus 25 points, but you still got 35 more to go." I said. "Ninjutsu seems rather interesting, have you considered it? It seems to be a way to use the elements in flashy ways."

"Hmmm… I've considered it, but I want something more direct. The single Ninjutsu seem rather weak and I would need to level up the skill to get more, which is a pain…" Sighed Eleanora.

"I see…" I sighed.

"I kind of want Spearmanship, after all I use Envy a lot, just like you use Gluttony. Thanks to this spear I can deal way more damage than I would be able to do alone. Cursed Weapons are really great. Enhancing her powers through Spearmanship would be the way to go." She said while nodding.

"I see… You got 15 Skill Points left then…" I said while analyzing everything.

"Hmmm… Oh! I want Shadow Trap Creation. With that it might be easier for us to catch monsters and also it could help us catch them even while we are not there." Said Eleanora. "As long as we leave some nice bait."

"You're right, it doesn't sound so bad…" I said while nodding. "We could even lure some monsters into it as well… If we spam them and put dozens of shadow traps in a single area, it could prove to be rather devastating, and the MP price is not bad at all either!"

"Then it is decided!" Eleanora happily said.

[Eleanora] has exchanged 60 Skill Points]

[Eleanora] has learned the [Shadow Trap Creation: Lv1] [Spearmanship: Lv1] and [Blood Aura: Lv1] Skills]

And done. We both know what Spearmanship can do, but Shadow Trap Creation and Blood Aura got some interesting descriptions, so I rechecked them through the Grimoire after Eleanora quickly began unleashing her Blood Aura, my Mana had recovered a bit by now, and she was also using her own Aether within her soul to compensate for the rest of the required Mana.

[Shadow Trap Creation: Lv1]

Skill Proficiency: 0/10000

A unique Skill of Shadow/Darkness Magicians. It grants the ability to create a mass of Darkness and Shadows which can be placed anywhere. Whenever it is touched after being placed, it will activate and a dozen of shadow tentacles will capture the prey, trapping them in place. It is also capable of draining the prey from their energy and mana slowly, weakening them. The trap's efficacy and grip power is increased by +20% with each Skill Level, alongside its ability to slowly drain the captured prey from its Energy and Mana by +10% with each level.

Oh! This is not bad at all. We could definitely use this. Eleanora has an amazing insight. I suppose I shouldn't had doubted her at all to begin with. With this we can easily place these dark traps that can be barely seen at night and easily catch some prey. Monsters and animals still roam the woods, but are rarer and more timid now, we could pick up those remnants by using these traps. It is a rather cheap and underhanded method, but it gets the job done.

I do wonder though; can it hide at plain sight in the day? I would guess that any animal would find weird a mass of obscurity laying over the forest floor… Unless it has camouflaging abilities, or maybe the shadow is not so dark so it resembles a normal shadow? It would be nice to place them near trees with large shadows if that's the case.
