Epic of Vampire Dragon: Reborn as a Vampire Dragon with a System

Chaos' Light Attribute Magic wasn't strong, it was still Level 1. And there weren't many competent healers. And even if he had, he wouldn't be able to get there in time. The woman's life was about to end soon.

It was almost surreal for him to think that she was able to hold up for so long, only with the thought of her daughter as her last pillar in her entire life, such a strong will…

Chaos couldn't help but grow an incredible admiration over such a woman and wanted to help her as much as he could, especially because she was the mother of one of his strongest allies and also his friend, Natalia.

The bright light bathed her body, a bit of her pain faded away, and she could see more clearly… but this only worked to extend her life a few minutes.

"Nata… lia…" she sighed.

The only things her mother was mustering was her name now, she had also said that she missed her and that she thought about her… but nothing else, she didn't seem to be in here at all, as if… she was somewhere else, her mind was too broken.

But Chaos could heal her. He knew he could do it if he put in the effort and time. But he needed time, and with her condition, there wasn't much time for this.

"Natalia, bite her neck."

"Eh?!"

Chaos gave Natalia a strange proposal.

"B-Bite her?"

"You can infect others with your saliva by intravenous methods like any other Vampires can, even as a Dhampir. If you bite her, she can become a Dhampir as well, and gain the regeneration abilities of your race in exchange for becoming your race…" said Chaos.

"Is there not… another way?" she asked.

"There's another way. I can give her my blood. This will turn her into my own spawn race… But I don't want that. I want YOU to bite her, if she receives my blood, she might change too much due to the magic within it and the unknown effects, but Dhampirs like you seem to be mostly sane… bite her, she's your mother, I know you can do it…" said Chaos.

"Chaos..."

Natalia looked at her mother, her breathing was so faint, and her heartbeat was incredibly low…

Shew as at death's door.

"Natal… ia…"

"Mother… Sorry, but I cannot… I cannot let you go yet…!"

Natalia's vampiric fangs emerged from her jaws, growing sharper and secreting special pain-killing saliva which carried the infectious curse of Vampires.

She dived her fangs into the weak neck of her mother as gently as she possibly could. Her skin was dry and very weak, like thin paper… a bit of very coagulated blood began to come out.

She drank a bit of it, as her tongue filled the small wounds with her saliva.

"Ahh… Nngh…"

Her mother released a groan of pain, Natalia cried a bit, but she continued.

"(I will use… the power that father inherited to me to save you now!)" thought Natalia, as a sudden burst of essence began to fill the weakened body of Natalia's mother.

"It's working…" said Chaos, as he began to give her a bit of provisional mana to complete her transformation. It was Pure Mana extracted from his miasma through Mana Mastery.

"Ahh…"

Natalia slowly moved away from her mother, as she placed her on the ground.

Her mother's skin suddenly began to shed, as new and rejuvenated skin emerged below, pale-white skin. Her muscles were still thin, but they had gained a bit more mass out of the sudden… her scares disappeared with the shed and old skin, her hair also fell out of her head, as new and glossy silvery-white hair came out of her head.

Her single eye turned crimson red, but the other eye… It didn't come back, for some reason. However, the wound within it was healed, but the empty socket remained, covered by her glossy white hair.

"Mom… So beautiful…" muttered Natalia.

Chaos saw Natalia's mother after her transformation. She had become a Lesser Dhampir, which was enough to rejuvenate her body and bring her to a better condition right away… of course, she had now become an Undead, but it was at least part of the strongest Undead races branching from Vampires.

Chaos noticed that her brain waves and her mind began to change a bit, they began to regain some more mass, her fragmented and broken mind was slowly reconstructing itself a bit more. But it stopped midway through.

"Not enough, as I thought…" he sighed.

Her mother slowly sat down, looking at her body, wondering what had happened…

"Ah… My scars? My body… I am… young again?" wondered Natalia's mother, looking at her own hands, she seemed flawlessly beautiful and young.

"I am sorry… I had to do it, there was no… other way." Cried Natalia, tightly hugging her mother

"Natalia…!"

Her mother, now that she gained a bit more clearness in her mind, jumped over her daughter and hugged her tightly.

"Mom…"

"I missed you… I… I only thought about you… Only you… My dear… my dear girl…" her mother began to cry over her daughter's chest, as Natalia caressed her mother's hair and kissed her.

Chaos looked at the heartwarming reunion in silence and expressionlessly.

However, a mild smile emerged naturally on his lips…

"I wish I could one day find my parents… and help them come back to me." He thought.

"She seems to be fine for now… Here." Chaos offered a bit of Monster blood to Natalia's mother, Fire Dragon blood to boot.

"Ah… T-This is…" muttered Natalia's mother.

"Drink it, it will do you good." Said Chaos.

"T-Thank you…"

She began to drink it as if she had found a new favorite meal, she had only been fed a hard piece of bread this whole time, so drinking something so nutritious, rich, and flavorful made her regain a bit of her spirit…

"Ahh… This is… so delicious… Am I Vampire?" wondered Natalia's mother.

"S-Sorry… I had to do it to heal you." Sighed Natalia.

Natalia's mother smiled and kissed her daughter's forehead.

"It's fine…"
