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

-----

Blake's fists moved as if they were rivers of water, with incredible precision and gracefulness that only a master of martial arts that has practiced it for thousands of years could attain! Even in this small body of his, martial arts never let him down, and Blake always knew that he could use them in cases when he had to quickly finish a foe, especially one with his bare body undefended!

Erdrich's attacks couldn't reach Blake at all, as they felt weakened and lethargic. Erdrich on his totality was weakening down severely, and he was constantly failing to even hit Blake once! To make things worse, Blake's attack each hit one of his pressure points strongly, shocking his body, each hit felt as if a wave of electricity crossed through the interior of his body, his nerves were already getting dull of the pain they were trying to take!

"AAAGH…! N-No… I must…! I can't…!"

The demonic alter ego attempted to fight back even while sustaining incredible amounts of damage, Blake evaded each hit but he noticed that more demonic energy was cursing through his veins, overpowering the pain and even his weakened state…

"You seem to have an interesting ability, but if you push yourself anymore, you'll die." Blake said, as his sharp eyes resonated with contempt, looking at his own hand. "Should I knock him out? If I do, he won't even be able to help in this war…."

As Blake considered this, within the interior of Erdrich's mind, another fight was happening. Erdrich slowly gained more ground within the mind scape of his soul, while the demonic alter ego was slowly being pushed away, as his encompassing darkness wasn't consuming Erdrich's mind as much as before. However, even now, the demon alter ego still had the upper hand.

"I won't kill Blank… He's my friend!"

"You've barely met him for a month!"

"I-I… He is one of the few people that don't treat me like a monster…!"

"He killed our mother, you fool!"

"He did it because he had to! He had to save the people in danger… My mother… was not a good person!"

"Wha…?!"

"My mother was someone that was going to hurt my father and my siblings, whom I love! It was… the right thing to do!"

FLASH!

A burst of bright white light emerged from within Erdrich's words, as his emotions clashed against the vengeful nature of the demon alter ego. A typical fight that has lasted since creation, light against darkness, even within the depths of a man's heart, there is such a constant battle.

"You will only be humiliated… you only be stepped over by others…! Do you truly want this?!"

"I-I won't… be stepped by anybody! My friends… are not like that. Elizabeth is always nice with me… Blake always is teaching me new things and sees my potential more than anybody… and Ellergest and everyone else… they're already like my family! You think I can simply… forget them all and go into a crazy rampage?!"

Erdrich fought against his alter ego, as both minds clashed against one another, despite his words that seemed fueled with his human emotions, the darkness of his resentment, embodying the demonic alter ego taking over his body, was still stronger.

"No matter what you said, you can't lie to your heart, Erdrich!"

"N-No…! I won't simply… let you control me…!"

"It is futile!"

The alter ego was overpowering Erdrich with each passing second, as Erdrich mind was once more beginning to be engulfed in the darkness…

"The sins of my sister… shall not be carried by her son."

"Eh?"

Amidst darkness and despair, Erdrich heard the voice of someone resonating within the depths of his chest. The spirit orb, dormant until now, suddenly awakened, and from within, the soothing voice of a girl resonated within his mindscape, speaking to him and his alter ego.

"W-Who is that?!"

The alter ego couldn't help but grow strangely afraid, as the light within Erdrich continued to expand and spread out in large quantities, his darkness began to be consumed and dissipated in an instant.

"I heard the cry of a child dear to me, entrusted to me by my sister… I cannot simply ignore him."

This voice, which wasn't recognized by Erdrich as he had yet to be born when she was alive, was from nobody else than the sister of Cassandra, Erdrich's mother! And she didn't even made it a mystery, as she spoke about it carefreely, even though Erdrich couldn't understand a thing.

"Ngh… no…! Stop! T-This power… It is completely foreign to demons!"

The demonic alter ego was being burned alive by the spiritual light of Erdrich's newly awakened spirit, as he was weakening and losing his will to fight and take over the boy's body.

FLASH!

And within the outside world, Blake's eyes opened widely for a few seconds, as he saw Erdrich Spirit Orb awaken. From within, a beautiful little girl with long red hair and pale blue eyes emerged, phantasmal in nature, she hugged her master, as all the demonic energy within his body flew away, and his body quickly shapeshifted back into the original size of a boy, however, his body was weakened, and he looked to be almost to the bones, his strength was completely drained in the battle.

"Nngh… Ahh…! B-Blank…?"

Erdrich's eyes opened barely, as Blake finally sighed in relief and walked to his side, analyzing the newly awakened spirit that seemingly saved Erdrich from the coursing demonic energy that not even Blake could completely take away from the boy.

Blake immediately noticed this spirit was a human-type spirit, and a strange one at that, it seemed to have no particular element at all, but had the power to appease his fury and the demonic alter ego he held within his heart. It is often said that a spirit shapes itself to the desires of their wielders, although sometimes they come out as "useless" ones, there is no real useless spirit, only people that don't know how to use them…
