LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 84: Evolution - Vampire Noble 2
Gradually, the body of the cocoon moved, churning as it did, appearing to be sucked in on itself.
Slowly, the size of the cocoon became smaller as it seemed to collapse in on itself, until Aldritch's was revealed within it and the contents of the cocoon were being absorbed into his body, entering directly inside him through his skin, which didn't look like it should even be possible.
Regaining his consciousness, Aldritch opened his eyes slightly, feeling that his body was afloat as he couldn't feel his legs touching the ground, he pried open his eyes enough and tilted his head a little to confirm, and indeed, he really was floating mid-air, a few centimeters above the ground.
As though to confirm his current state, the system's ever soft voice sounded in his mind, providing concise information;
[Evolution complete. You have evolved into a Vampire Noble]
[All stats have been permanently increased by 50]
[Your racial skill, Blood Manipulation, has evolved]
[Your racial skill, Minor Compulsion, has evolved into Mind Compulsion]
[Your racial skill, Healing Factor, has evolved into Superior Regeneration]
[Your racial skill 'Blood Bond' has been strengthened, turned vampires' loyalty will start at a higher level]
[You've acquired a new racial skill 'Feral Sense']
[You've acquired a new racial skill 'Body transformation']
[You've acquired a new racial skill 'Shapeshifting']
.
'So many improvements and new stuff.' Aldritch thought to himself looking at all the information displayed before his eyes. He was thrilled to be receiving all that, but at that moment, he wanted to head up. The vigor within his body was much, so he really wanted to test it out.
Putting on the clothes he had left on the chair, he put them on before leaving the underground lair.
Surprisingly, it was mid-day outside, but being quite a cloudy day, the sun was hiding behind lush clouds for the most part. This also meant that there was quite the cool wind blowing across outside.
As it was day time, every vampire was asleep, leaving Aldritch with only one option, Lodestar. He was still human after all, and day time was when he operated, though he only spent most of his time idling about with the guise of recovering, Aldritch and pretty much every one else believed otherwise.
While making his way to where he could find Lodestar, Aldritch enquired somethings from the system.
'I thought the evolution would make a much greater change to my stats than this. Apart from the 50 points increase in all stats, what else has changed in my body, system?' Aldritch questioned.
[As you have seen, your evolution has affected your skills as those that had reached their MAX level have now evolved into stronger skill while some were strengthened]
[More importantly, your body is now evolved further and your potential deepened. You will now find ease in growing stronger physically, and your body is also a better container and conduit for spirit energy. Thirst and need for blood has also reduced while every other senses have been greatly increased]
'Ok… now that sounds even better than the 50 points increase in stats.' Aldritch thought to himself, suppressing the gleeful grin that was about to form on his face.
Once outside the mansion and standing in the courtyard, Aldritch traced his steps towards the fish pond within the compound that was situated within a garden. Truly, this mansion had everything in it. Aldritch really wondered if Lada was trying to conceal herself or expose herself.
On arrival, making his way into the space covered by two metres tall flowers as the pond was within the extensive garden, Aldritch found Lodestar lying on his back with a book in hand, 'as I suspected, reading novels again.' He thought to himself as he approached. For a man his size, it did look off seeing Lodestar lying amidst a garden surrounded by flowers.
Since Lodestar arrived in this mansion and was freed, all he really cared about was reading novels. He was always so invested in them, but as of now he was still stuck on one novel… the only reason being that he is such a slow reader.

"Lodestar…" Aldritch called out with a warm smile on his face as he approached with steady strides.
"Ahhh… my peaceful afternoon has been ruined." He muffled under his breath hearing Aldritch's voice. He looked to his side to find Aldritch walking towards him with a certain look on his face, "that smile… I'm not feeling well, I can't teach you anything right now." He groaned to Aldritch's hearing.
"I've had such a peaceful week so far, why did you have to show up now?" He muffled to himself again in a complaining manner.
"Ah, come on, don't you want to test the strength of a vampire noble? I've just concluded my evolution you see." Aldritch said to him, not trying to hide details.
Lodestar almost jumped out of the couch he was lying on, "evolution? Vampire noble? You're now a vampire noble?" He asked with genuine shock in his eyes.
"Yeah, why the reaction? Haven't seen one before?" Aldritch teased.
"Of course I have! Apart from those turned, all natural vampires are born noble."
"Then why the shock?"
"Well, people don't just undergo evolution in their basements, you know? Certainly not higher lifeforms such as vampires, dragons or demons. It shouldn't even be possible, where did you get the materials needed? How do you even know the conditions to fulfil? Just exactly what did that god provide you with to ready you for this journey?" Lodestar bombarded Aldritch with questions.
"Calm down, you'll stress yourself before the spar. And yes, it might have something to do with the god I met before." Aldritch explained, not willing to start any explanation on how he has a system.
"Great dragons… Do you know what this means? This is more than big news… by any chance, can you evolve, raise your rank further?"
"I can also evolve those who are within my family." Aldritch answered.
"Heavens… Just so you know, those vampires won't leave you alone when you eventually reach my world. Maybe before they would have shrugged you off as a runaway who isn't even a vampire noble, or add you to their rogue list for execution, but now? There's no way. Better plan for that."
"Already thought of that." Aldritch responded, unsurprised or moved particularly by Lodestar's words.
"Now I'm actually interested in testing your strength!" Lodestar exclaimed in excitement as he walked up to Aldritch and grabbed him on both shoulders with his hands, wearing a broad smile. As he was a huge man, Lodestar towered Aldritch by at least one foot, and his body made Aldritch look small, at least not skinny.
'And you weren't feeling well just some seconds ago…' With one arm around Aldritch's shoulders, they made their way to a more suitable ground for sparring, continuing their discussion on the way.
