Vampire Overlord System in the Apocalypse

-----

Now that Iris had managed to get her own Blood Core and unlocked her Skill Tree, she was now given the ability to evolve!

Although she was surprised by this, she knew that this could give her the power to get a bit near the strength of Noah!

She could not refuse to select the \'YES\' Option, as she underwent evolution!

Flash!

"UNNGH…!"

Iris immediately felt a sudden pain all over her body, as her bones began to crack and regenerate, her flesh twisted around and her blood began to rush so fast around her body that she became incredibly red, releasing a lot of steam from all over.

"S-she\'s undergoing some changes…!" said Arthur.

"It\'s like when Noah-sama evolved…" said Timassa.

"Indeed… Hang on there… Iris…" said Jon.

"Bear the pain, this will make you stronger, Iris!" said Noah, as Iris screamed, her eyes turning completely red, as suddenly, clear blue phantom aura covered her entire body as if it were a consuming flame that ate it all!

"Nnngh… Nnngaaaahhhhh…!"

FLASH!

The phantasmal aura suddenly turned into phantom blue flames, coating her entire body!

Iris could not bear the pain anymore, as she passed out.

The evolution continued its process, and after ten minutes, Iris had fully evolved.

Her appearance was rather similar to before.

But Noah and the rest noticed that her hair had grown a bit larger now, and her muscles became tighter, harder, and slimmer. Her entire body seemed to have undergone a whole year of constant exercise.

Alongside this, a small blue tattoo appeared on her right hand, resembling a blue flame and a dagger…

Noah quickly woke up Iris as she sat down on the floor.

"Eh? What- OH! I evolved too!" said Iris happily, checking her stats and all the new power she gained.

Noah also used this opportunity to see her current progress.

[Iris]

[Bloodline: Dhampir/Phantom (Evolved)]

[Blood Core Rank: Level II: Dhampir Phantom Knightess]

[Vitality: 98]

[Mind: 96]

[Force: 105]

[Skill(s): [Spectral Demonic Fox Transformation: 1 (B)], [Dhampir: - (S)], [Subordinate\'s Loyalty: - (A)], [Undying Body: 51 (A)], [Infectious Poisonous Black Claws: 1 (B)], [Blood Manipulation: 1 (C)], [Poisonous Blood Projectiles: 1 (C)], [Berserk Mode: 1 (B)], [Telepathy: 46 (D)], [Phantom Fox Spirit: 45 (B)], [Phantom Flight: 1 (C)], [Phantasmal Soul Wounds: 1 (C)], [Phantasmal Aura: 1 (C)], [Phantasmal Soul: 1 (C)]

It seemed that Iris had begun to specialize more and more into Phantom-related Skills, having the power to coat herself in a spectral demonic fox phantom, she is now able to employ such phantom in a variety of ways, from creating small bombs, damaging souls, unleashing a Phantasmal Aura to control and shape it as limbs and other things, and even a Phantasmal Soul to enhance all of those skills even further.

Furthermore, her old Skill all awakened into stronger versions of themselves, and even the Rage Mode Skill now became Berserk Mode, a B-Rank Skill!

Iris had indeed increased in power a lot and had become an even greater asset for Noah.

"A lot of my Skills awakened Noah-sama! Now I can be more useful to you!" said Iris, as her left eye suddenly began to gleam with a phantom flame, which Noah thought of it to be part of her new evolution.

"Amazing, Iris, you got way stronger now!" said Arthur.

"Please, Noah-sama, me next!" said Timassa.

"No, me!" said Jon quite boldly.

"There will be time for everyone. With this power, all of you can now evolve and specialize even further in the powers you have cultivated. Good work, Iris," said Noah, petting Iris\'s head for the first time.

"N-Noah-sama… y-you\'re giving me… a head pat!" said Iris while blushing.

"Hm? What? Why did I do that?" said Noah confusedly, as he took his hand away.

Noah\'s personality was not like this, he would never head pat anyone.

However, it was not as if Noah\'s mind was as cold as it is now, this happened after he fused his soul with the Blood Progenitor…

"Perhaps this was my \'human emotions\' acting up? Well, if it was just my human side showing affection, there is nothing wrong…" thought Noah, forgetting about the issue at hand and quickly calling his subordinates to get their own Blood Cores.

Iris was treasuring this moment a lot and was gently touching her head, saying dumb things about Noah petting her there.

After around three hours of arduous Blood Core Creation Rituals, all six of the members of Noah\'s party had acquired their own Blood Cores, and now, Noah was checking each Attribute Panel, seeing their current stats and also the new skills they had acquired through their inferior Skill Trees compared to his.

[Arthur]

[Bloodline: Dhampir (Evolved)]

[Blood Core Rank: Level II: Dhampir Corrosion Priest]

[Vitality: 97]

[Mind: 110]

[Force: 96]

[Skill(s): [Healing Blight: 72 (B)], [Dhampir: - (S)], [Subordinate\'s Loyalty: - (A)], [Undying Body: 32 (A)], [Blood Manipulation: 1 (C)], [Telepathy: 41 (D)], [Corrupt Waves of Corrosion: 1 (A)], [Dark Light Barrier: 65 (C)], [Corrosion Domain: 1 (B)], [Self-Regeneration Tattoo: 1 (B)], [Dark Sphere of Erosive Contamination: 1 (B)], [Corrupt Blood Projectiles: 1 (C)]

Arthur had increased his stats, which were more specialized into Mind, and his evolution had taken into a shift towards being a priest sort of deal, as he was now a Dhampir Corrosion Priest, which dealt with healing magic, dark light, and the corrosive properties of his waves of corrosion.

His Skills had awakened, and he had also gotten a few new ones after maxing his Skill Tree.

Even though Stats numbers could be similar in between Hunters, it was their Skills and what they could do that made them different from each other.

So, a similar performance than Iris could not be expected from Arthur, even if their stats were around similar numbers.

[Timassa]

[Bloodline: Ghoul (Evolved)]

[Blood Core Rank: Level II: Ghoul Black Thunder Witch]

[Vitality: 92]

[Mind: 111]

[Force: 91]

[Skill(s): [Black Thunder Projectiles: 1 (A)], [Ghoul: - (A)], [Subordinate\'s Loyalty: - (A)], [Insatiable Hunger: 85 (C)], [Undying Body: 32 (A)], [Paralyzing Dark Lightning: 64 (A)], [Dark Thunder Armor: 1 (B)], [Electrifying Charge: 1 (C)], [Black Thunder Spirit: 1 (C)], [Dark Thunder Soul: 1 (C)], [Monstrous Electrifying Rampage: 1 (B)]

Meanwhile, Timassa\'s Skill Set was vastly different than Arthur or Iris, as she was able to use Thunder to attack, using such Black Thunder for various and interesting ways of attacking, even to the point of infusing it on herself and make her body move faster and crazier, alongside the power to generate an Armor of Black Thunder as well.

She was now a fast mixed attack, but Timassa still preferred to keep being her distance from her enemies and attack them with her furious black thunder. Now that she had gotten a Bow as her Soul Weapon, such role had been intensified.

[Jon]

[Bloodline: Dhampir (Evolved)]

[Blood Core Rank: Level II: Dhampir Devil Gazer]

[Vitality: 94]

[Mind: 108]

[Force: 92]

[Skill(s): [Clairvoyance: 68 (B)], [Dhampir: - (S)], [Subordinate\'s Loyalty: - (A)], [Cursed Evil Eye of Phantom Pain: 62 (A)], [Undying Body: 25 (A)], [Blood Manipulation: 1 (C)], [Cursed Blood Projectiles: 1 (C)], [Telepathy: 31 (D)], [Devil Life Sap: 1 (C)], [Devil Mana Sap: 1 (C)], [Cursed Evil Eye of Distortion: 1 (A)], [Energy Transfer: 1 (B)]

Jon has evolved into a Dhampir Devil Gazer, further enhancing his eye abilities, and after filling his Skill Tree, he gained even more useful Skills that went excellently with his Cursed Evil Eye, such as Life Sap, Mana Sap, and more, helping him drain the energy of anyone within the range of his devil eyes skills.

Alongside this, he gained the power to transfer stolen energy to his party members too, and also another Evil Eye, which could let him distort an item with a powerful crushing force, although it had a short-range.

[Adamantine]

[Bloodline: Ghoul (Evolved)]

[Blood Core Rank: Level II: Ghoul Shadow Berserker]

[Vitality: 102]

[Mind: 85]

[Force: 121]

[Skill(s): [Nightmarish Shadow Aura: 1 (A)], [Undying Body: 56 (A)], [Horrifying Shadow Demon Claws: 1 (A)], [Ghoul: - (A)], [Subordinate\'s Loyalty: - (A)], [Gluttonous Devourer: 1 (B)], [Shadow Demon Mode: 1 (B)], [Monstrous Abyssal Leap: 1 (C)], [Crazed Frenzy: 1 (C)], [Shadow Bullets: 1 (C)]

And last but not least, Adamantine had evolved into a Ghoul Shadow Berserker, specializing in her ability to coat herself in darkness and shadows and attack her enemies like a crazed monstrous being, she had awakened several Skills to use such fighting style even better and more properly, to the point that her power in combat is incredible.

She also learned a Skill that could let her attack from a distance, but this Skill will most likely not be used as much, as she loves to bite and tear apart her enemies with her fangs and claws.
