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

-----

As I walked however I could back to the manor, I found Eleanora, who ran to my side. She seemed a bit tired and covered in blood. Ellergest had never seen her before, so he reacted rather exaggeratedly when he saw her.

"W-Who is that girl?!" He asked in shock.

"She's my spirit, Eleanora." I said with a smile, as I petted her head. "Good job, you deserve praise and a gift."

"I did what I could…" She said, "And a gift?!" She asked rather surprised, as I nodded.

"I was thinking of making more equipment for you, we could also buy something as well, you can equip a spear so perhaps other equipment can also work." I said.

"O-Oooh! I want a chest plate and some rings!" She said, acting quite spoiled.

"Don't get so spoiled though…" I sighed. "We have limited funds and materials."

"U-Understood, sorry…" She apologized.

Ellergest continued glaring at us, as he opened his jaws in surprise as if he had seen a ghost or something. It deeply annoyed me so I confronted him and asked him why he was looking at us like that.

"What's wrong?"

"I-I've never seen a spirit like this! And it can talk so much back to you?! It is like a person!"

"Of course, isn't your dragon one as well?"

p "Ah… Well, that happened after he grew very old, he didn't talk back when he was an infant!"

"Hmph, well, whatever is the case, my spirit is rather special… Come back to my Spirit Orb for now, Eleanora."

"Understood."

She had been tired after the fight, so I quickly decided to bring her inside of my Spirit Orb for her prompt recovery. Ellergest was rather shocked about the "strange" spirit I had, and this was the primary reason why I disliked showing her to other people too much… But it seemed that it wasn't that bad either. Spirits always come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, so Eleanora wasn't that surprising to him, thankfully.

There are many things I want to assess now. I will decide to leave it to Ellergest and the priests. I am here only to do the job I was told, the technical things must be taken care of by them. For now I really just want to go back home to meet my family and probably Erika. For some reason, despite having lived for thousands of years without the need of any emotional support, I feel like her smile illuminates my day a little bit.

Despite my emotions always being frozen, I felt like this fight put me a lot closer to a second death. Something I really wouldn't want now, that I had been given a second opportunity. Even if such an opportunity had been given by my enemy, as I believe.

Perhaps I am self-reflecting too much, this is not my usual self… I had certainly changed a bit. Nonetheless, I should concentrate on something more important than my casual thoughts after a tiring battle, something regarding my grimoire.

The grimoire floated in front of me, but Ellergest could not see it. Indeed, I had discovered that merely by willing it, the Grimoire could become completely invisible to other people, this was convenient so I could check my stats and… what I had gained.

Apparently Eleanora had slain a lot of Demon Monsters that surged from the manor when the wave of demonic energy hit it. It was an unexpected yet welcomed reward. She had slain dozens of them, plus the EXP from that woman was enough to give me a great amount. And even more, when EXP is accumulated in big quantities without being distributed, it can receive a bonus for some reason. I don't know if this was intended by the Grimoire or is the effect of the Hard Worker Skill that enhances EXP gained, but whatever the case, I received a bountiful reward.

Eleanora slayed around 38 Demon Monsters around the entire manor, each one gave 200 EXP, the same as an Imp, but they were way easier to slay for her… Or perhaps we had grown very strong without realizing it. Aside from that, the woman gave me 25000 EXP, which was quite insane. It seems she gave me a good amount of EXP due to her strength… This also confirms that non-monsters/demons also give EXP.

Now, the possibility of killing people to gain EXP seems quite appealing, but for now I will refrain myself from committing crimes. I am not strong enough to fight the authorities of this nation over it. Unless it is justified murder, such as someone that deserves it and I would instead be praised by it, such as this woman who did evil deeds, bandits, thieves, and the like, I won't go around senselessly killing others.

Ding!

[Calculating EXP gained…]

[You gained 39120 EXP!]

[Level 6/10][EXP: 39220/50000]

[The [Acrobatics: Lv2], [Robust Body: Lv1], and [Hard Worker: Lv1] Skills Level has increased]

Not enough EXP yet… But I am getting closer to another Level Up. Eleanora also gained almost the same amount of EXP if not a bit more as she did all the slaying job of those low-level mobs.

And something surprising also happened, three of my Skills leveled up right after I received the EXP, Acrobatics became Level 3, Robust Body Level 2, and Hard Worker also Level 2… I wish Hard Worker could have increased in level before receiving the EXP so I would have acquired a greater EXP bonus, but that's that, I cannot complain more than that.

And…

Ding!

[Proficiency Points have reached the required amount 20000/20000]

[You learned the [Spearmanship: Lv1] Skill!]

After all of this time using a Spear, I have finally acquired the Skill. This entire time I thought I needed a specific Job Class or something, but it was just that to learn the Skill. I required twenty thousand proficiency points, an insane amount of points. It seems that not having a Talent doesn't mean that I cannot learn the skills from other talents such as Spearman, but it takes way longer for me to learn them than a normal person would be able to.
