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

-----

After we were finally outside the city and away from the arena or any civilization, we saw the vastness of the desert.

It was a desolate land, but the bright colors of brown, dark gold dunes, and the blue sky illuminated by the sun and the clouds…

it did create a beautiful atmosphere; I have to admit.

"Now, tell me, where have you seen large ruins of ancient civilizations, Zack?"

"Well there's quite a few around!" he said. "The closest would be in the Great Sunterra Canyons, there's lots of armored Mutants there though, hard to get through unless you got defense-piercing weaponry."

"Well, among the stash of things I have taken from the arena, I'm sure we can manage," I said with a nod.

I am fairly sure there's several machine guns that can pierce through basic defenses, also my spear and the two floating spears I have from Zack's equipment can also do that.

"Let's go there then, Zack! Eleanora! Hendrick!"

"Hendrick?"

As we flew, Zack didn't know who Hendrick was.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"I've called this spider guy Hendrick! Don't worry, he's well equipped to help us out," I said. "That butler guy said he could create spiderwebs made of photon energy, right? That's plenty useful."

"I guess so… but why Hendrick is just… well, whatever."

According to Zack, we had to fly not too high so we wouldn't get attacked by "Sand Wyverns" and not too low so we wouldn't be attacked by "Sand Worms", two lethal species of Mutants that live in the sky and the sands beneath.

Areas of solid stone like these though, sandworms are quite rare, so he said its mostly almost safe to go close tom the ground to the canyon. Sand Worms are apparently enormous beasts so they can't fit in stoney landscapes and need soft sand to "swim" through.

As we enjoyed the view and the wind passing through our open hangars so we could enjoy it more, we noticed into the distance that the landscape started to spread open more.

There were large "holes" from afar, which as we approached, finally resembled huge canyons. It looked like we were finally in the place we came for. At the distance, past the canyons, deep within them, I saw a huge amount of ruins.

Yes, ruins, mostly made out of rusted metal, although mixed with them there was some metal that had not rusted, it was mostly black or dark silver, almost of the same material as the spears and the robot that Zack had.

"There it is, Blake! The Ruins!" said Eleanora happily. "That's where you wanted to go, right?"

"Indeed, that's the place," I nodded. "Let's go then! Zack, please lead the way."

"Sure! Follow me and be careful!"

Zack flew through the skies, and we followed him, we appeared above the canyons, which seemed to be desertic until…

RUMBLE!

We saw something, what we believed to be rocks were in fact some sort of monster, enormous turtles with the shells made of huge stones.

They camouflaged in the canyons as rocks, but were monsters of their own, and enormous ones at that!

"What are those things? Monsters?" asked Eleanora.

"Those are mutants," said Zack. "Any monster in this game is called a "Mutant", they are like, ancient animals from Earth, but modified and mutated into giant creatures of various shapes. The weakest ones are those that still resemble their original appearances. These turtles are mostly harmless as long as you don't just walk into the range of their rolling attacks."

"Interesting…" I said. "Do you earn any Exp defeating monsters?"

"Like an RPG? Nah," he laughed. "This isn't that type of game, though you can harvest their bodies. Unlike other games, monsters don't disappear when they die, so you can get the whole body for its meat, materials, and the Mutation Core inside, it can fetch a good price if you can find a buyer in the city."

"That's interesting," I nodded. "The inventory could make it easy to carry them, right?"

"Yeah but- Blake?!"

I decided to test how tough these monsters were, as I rushed down and quickly prepared a large machinegun, firing almost at point blank at the nearest turtle.

They were actually called "Canyon Stone Turtle Mutant" and were catalogued as "Giant-type" and "Primary-type" whatever that means.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The Machinegun rapidly grinded through their shell until the stones started crumbling down, revealing shiny jewels inside of the shell.

"GROOHHH!"

The turtle grew angered, but it couldn't reach me while we were in the skies. After confirming it wasn't that strong, I sent the two flying spears I had against it.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

With a series of piercing, destructive blows, the turtle was struck down, its head being pierced more than once.

"GRRRRHHH…!"

"GROOHH!"

"GRAAHH…"

The other turtles glanced at the body of their deceased and immediately started running away, I quickly looked at the other dead turtle, it was at least ten meters of height.

"A huge creature…" I quickly stored it inside my inventory.

FLASH!

It disappeared, appearing inside of my inventory with its whole body, there was also a dismantling option too, so I separated the body into meat, the shell, scales, bones, and then its core.

[You have defeated and stored the [Canyon Stone Turtle Mutant (Giant/Primary Type)] x1]

[The [Canyon Stone Turtle Mutant (Giant/Primary Type)] Corpse has been Dismantled!]

[You obtained the following items: [Canyon Stone Turtle Mutant Meat], [Canyon Stone Turtle Mutant Shell], [Canyon Stone Turtle Mutant Scales], [Canyon Stone Turtle Mutant Bones], [Sizable Mutant Core (Giant/Primary Type)]

"Interesting, there's this core… What is this anyways?"

I took out the core, it resembled a huge black colored jewel, perhaps something akin to an amethyst in shape and form, but deep black.

"That's a Mutant Core!" said Zack. "There's a chance to get one from a Mutant. It is the crystallization of their internal energies. You see, Mutants supposedly have some sort of electromagnetic energy inside of them, so this crystalizes it within them and help them regulate it. They're used as fuel for Machine Warriors and are primary ingredients for their batteries and other things as well."

"I see, pretty interesting," I nodded. "I'll keep it for now. Let's go to the ruins now, I've satiated my curiosity."

"Alright!"
