"Something is different…"
Aeliana muttered with a frown on her face.
"Hmm? What is?"
Azriel questioned with a smile.
"They are different from me."
Aeliana pointed at the past humans now vampires lying on the floor and muttered.
"Even the process of changing them was different than what you did with me."
"Well of course."
Azriel nodded and then, he smiled,
"You are my daughter, isn't that a given that I will treat you favourably?"
Azriel smiled.
"They only have a drop of my original blood in their body, so although they are vampires, they cannot be compared to you, who has my blood running through her veins.
Your potential is just below mine, if you train well, you might even have the power to go against Dagahra."
Azriel revealed with a smile on his face and Aeliana's eyes widened in surprise,
"I-I can defeat the Dragon Progenitor?"
"Well, defeating him is close to impossible, you can only fight against him for a good while." Azriel clarified.
Aeliana lowered her head.
'Can't I still fight against Lord Dagahra for a good while…?'
She thought inwardly, and as if knowing her thoughts, Azriel chuckled,
"No, as you are right now, if that overgrown lizard is serious, then you would be defeated within a matter of seconds."
"!!!"
Aeliana's eyes widened in surprise.
"Hmmm, let's say this, if you train well now,
You can defeat Caesar."
Azriel muttered.
"…"
Aeliana blinked a few times.
"Yes, you have the potential to defeat the Human Progenitor."
It took a while before Azriel's words sank into Aeliana's mind.
She then glanced at Azriel and muttered with a horrified look on her face,
"I-If you can create beings who are stronger than Progenitors… t-then won't that make you invincible?
How absurd is that!?
How can just anyone have the same potential as a Progenitor?
Why not give these people the same potential as well, winning against all other races combined won't be a problem for us!"
Aeliana muttered with an excited look on her face.
"Heh. Do you think creating a being that has the same potential as a progenitor is that simple?
I can only create one Vampire like that, if I do more than one, my body would have to face the consequences.
Also, don't you think you, as my daughter should be unique?
You are special to me, after all."
A beautiful smile appeared on Aeliana's face and she quickly dashed towards Azriel and made herself comfortable in his embrace.
"You are the best, father."
Azriel smiled and then patted her head,
"You don't have to tell me that. I already know."
"You have to say, 'You are the best daughter', at this time, father."
Aeliana pouted.
"Hahaha~"
Azriel laughed.
Then, Azriel pointed at those vampires on the floor and muttered,
"They have the potential to fight against the first generation of the Demons. They will lose against the First Generation of Dragons, they might or might not lose against First Generation of Demons, however, they are still stronger than First Generations of other races."
"Mhm, isn't that amazing? We, Vampires, are comparable to Demons, however, unlike them, we don't have to worry about our population.
Humans will reproduce, we just have to turn them into Vampires.
Sooner or later, we will be the strongest Race in Yrneil with the biggest land under our control."
Aeliana muttered.
"…"
Azriel just smiled and didn't say anything.
They stayed in the same position for a while, then, Aeliana brought another batch of humans and then another,
Within the next few hours, around 300 humans were turned into Vampires.
"Shall I bring more humans here?"
"Hmm, of course, bring as many as you want.
However, remember the conditions."
"I remember it, we are blessing them, we have no need to force them."
Aeliana smiled and Azriel smiled back,
Then, Aeliana left the mansion and Azriel turned into Blood Mist and disappeared.
…
Just like that, time passed,
The number of Vampires continued to increase,
300, 400, 500, 1000, 2000, 3000, 5000,
There were Millions of humans in Yrniel, and countless humans were dissatisfied with their life and wanted to change it, of course, not every one of those humans fit into Aeliana's criteria to choose the next Vampire.
Some just used their bad potential as an excuse to not do anything, Aeliana didn't want those useless people,
What she wanted were the determined ones.
The ones who were still trying even though they know that their potential wasn't enough.
She needed people like them.
And of course, since she wasn't exactly trying to hide what she was doing, the other first-generation humans quickly heard of it and the 12 of them held a meeting.
"What is that girl doing?" One of them questioned.
"They say that she has been collecting humans who want to become Vampires."
"Huh? Want kind of absurd thing is that? Since when can one change their race as they like?"
"I have no clue, however, I did notice that her skin was paler than usual, it matched Lord Azriel,"
"Hmm, so what? Those Dwarves make many weird products every day, she might be using one of them."
"I agree with that."
"So what happens to the humans who agree with her?"
"Well, none of them were seen after they left along with her."
One of the humans narrowed his eyes and muttered,
"Is she… killing those humans?"
"But why would she use such a roundabout manner to do something like this?
Even if she wants to kill, she can do it directly, what's stopping her?"
"I don't know.
Is it perhaps a new sort of entertainment for her?"
"Hmmm? That might be the case.
The shocked look on someone who trusts you's face after you betray them would feel amusing indeed."
"Well… I can't disagree."
"So… what are we going to do about this?"
"Hmm, let her continue, sooner or later, those people would realize that no one is coming back after leaving with her and will start doubting her.
Then, they will try to avoid her and since now it won't be amusing anymore, that woman will stop as well.
Let her have some fun for a while."
"I agree, also, it's not like she is targeting the first 10 generations of us humans, any generation lower than that is useless anyway, so it doesn't matter."
"Indeed. Indeed. She can kill all she wants, we can always reproduce more."
"I agree."
"However, I will say, I never knew Sister Aeliana had a hobby like this,"
"Hahaha~ She is just bored and is finding ways to relieve her boredom,"
"Boredom is scary indeed."
The First Generation humans were correct, after a while, the humans started doubting Aeliana since none of the humans she took with her returned,
Therefore, they all started doubting and avoiding her.
Now according to the Human Union Leaders, Aeliana should stop now, however, something unexpected happened.
Those 'dead' humans returned, all of them.
There were not many changes in their features, however, their skin had now turned paler than before.
However, although their features weren't changed, there was a big change in their Auras.
These people, who were called useless and hopeless, now defeated their previous peers without an ounce of trouble.
Not only that, but they even started using Skills that only Lord Azriel used.
These humans,
They were actually turned into Vampires.
This caused uproar amongst humans.
They were shocked,
And along with that, they were jealous.
They could feel how much these 'humans' have improved.
Not only that, but according to these new vampires, this was only the beginning.
They would get stronger and stronger from now on.
Because of this incident, many humans rushed toward Aeliana,
They all wanted to turn into Vampires.
Aeliana, of course, didn't reject this and continued the recruit all the humans that were suitable.
It was just like Azriel said,
They were blessing others, they didn't need to force humans, rather, it was humans who should be begging to join them.
And that is what's happening right now.
Aeliana smiled, she then categorized the humans into 2 categories,
Worthy and Non-Worthy,
Although there were many Non-Worthy, all of them were filtered out and only 10% of the initial humans were selected.
…
"This is bad."
Inside a mansion, 12 humans were sitting around a table and one of them muttered,
"To think you can actually change your race like that? Just how absurd is that?"
"You guys… Aeliana now has similar features, do you think she has become a Vampire as well?"
"Is that even a question? That girl's attachment to Lord Azriel is simply unmatchable, if she really can change her race, then she would do it without a second of hesitation."
"It doesn't matter if she changes her race, I don't care about it, but why is she going after other humans!?
Why make other humans change their race as well!?
This is simply preposterous!"
"…she might be trying to increase the number of Vampires."
Someone muttered.
"Huh? What? Why?"
"Don't you remember what happened in our meeting about dissolving the Union?
It might be related to that."
