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

-----

As each day passed, I moved to the village to heal the people in need to gain some easy money or some food that we need. My father is getting better and he had already started going back to the farm, mostly doing very simple stuff with the help of my mother and Eleanora, while I also help sometimes, but I concentrate myself more into training. I have been maintaining the farm for a while so I deserve a break from it.

Nonetheless, if it wasn't for what I've been doing here, we wouldn't have as many savings nor food. My mother had been working in the farm fields with my grandmother's goat and her sheep, but that's the extent of their capability, and as the weeks go by, my mother's stomach grows bigger as well, so in some time she won't be able to do too many things. Thankfully my father is finally back for that at least, but hunting is still not allowed by mother yet.

Although it is not needed anymore, I am still saving money for the things I want to buy and the future. So healing some people from their back pain, or a big wound they got from a farm animal or something is the way to go for the moment. I've been searching for spirit orbs from beasts that I have yet to find, they're very rare by now but some people still got spirit orbs from Gray Wolves or Walking Mushrooms they had yet to sell from back then, so whenever I saw something in the market, I would buy these.

I've accumulated a good amount, although finding Wild Boar Spirit Orbs is impossible. Gray Wolves and Walking Mushrooms are not so rare, I just have to search well, there is a lot of people that put some mantle over the ground and sell out antiques or magic items they don't need in this market, so I buy it from them at a very cheap price. I have currently accumulated 14 Gray Wolf Spirit Orbs and around 13 Walking Mushroom Spirit Orbs. I am planning on using them soon on Gluttony to enhance the power of Fenrir, he needs 20 Spirit Orbs to be "Enhanced" or something, so I need to collect 6 more Gray Wolf Spirit Orbs, meanwhile, I could guess that a Walking Mushroom Summon would be even weaker than Fenrir, and it probably also needs 20 Spirit Orbs, so I have to keep hoarding for now.

"Thank you so much for your help, young boy, here." An old man handled to me three copper coins; he was obviously a humble person that lived inside a little wooden house. His Spirit was a Catfish that floated around him.

"Oh, thank you for your gratitude, I will take any offerings." I said, grabbing the coins and putting them in my pocket, 3 Copper Coins is still money anyways, even if little.

I walked outside the old man's house, ready to depart back home for the day, but suddenly, I found myself being persecuted by a trio of men wearing white robes with yellow decorations and big crosses plastered on their robes, one of them was holding a wooden cane with a red crystal on top of it.

"Hey you! Kid! Stop there!"

"Tch!"

I knew who they were, I had seen them some time by now, every time I go around town from home to home, they find me and chase me down. These are the Priests of the Church of Holy Spirits, I know the leader of the trio, it is the same priest that reveals the talents and spirits of children when they hit 5 years of age. He was a very annoying bastard, to say the least. He was the one leading this party and always chased me down, asking me to stop because he wanted to ask me some questions.

Every single time he would show up, and I had grown to expect him, but this time it was a bit different, they were even using magic indiscriminately. Is helping the people a crime now?

"I'll catch you with my endless Holy Chains!"

One of his allies, a younger priest with red hair and blue eyes I had not seen before suddenly brought out his Spirit, Holy Chains, and it did exactly as one would expect from its name, it summoned several chains made of holy light to capture a target, and they were incredibly fast and could extend as long as he infused mana, apparently.

The chains moved across the air with ease, without being hindered by gravity, and chased me around even as I moved around the houses. I enhanced my speed with Metabolism Acceleration and Gale, enhancing my blood flow for greater reflexes and swifter movements, while Gale produced a stream of winds around my body that helped me at leaping farther with ever step.

The chain wasn't able to catch up with me, and I cleverly moved around every home in zigzag patterns, even going back near the house of the old man and then knotting the entire chains around several houses. The people all around the town were surprised, looking at the scene as enormous chains made of light were all knotting one another ridiculously.

"W-What is happening here?!"

"T-Those chains are from a priest!"

"They're chasing that kid!"

"Wait, that kid is the saint! What do the priests want with him?"

Some people even recognized me somehow, which deeply disturbed me. I didn't wanted anyone to recognize me but even the amount of face changes I could do had a limit. The human mind can remember the patterns of many faces, eventually, some people would begin to recognize me even if I changed my face appearance using Illusion Magic.

"Aaggh! Damn kid!" the red-haired priest cried, as he exhausted himself from his Mana and gasped for air, his spirit was entangled all around the street. I had jumped over the rooftop of the house near the priest and looked him down.

"I guess your chains are not that endless."

"Y-You…!"
