Epic of Vampire Dragon: Reborn As A Vampire Dragon With a System

-----

In front of Chaos, there were three directions, that led to three different biomes within the Boundless Abyss Dungeon!

​​

The Dungeon had already become angered by how he massacred its beautiful ceiling, where it had grown all those magic crystals for years to sustain a nice and thick mana environment… And they were eaten and stolen!

Even humanoid beings had never been able to take away those crystals at the ceiling due to their altitude, perhaps they had mined those that occasionally grew in the walls, but never in the ceiling!

But that was all gone already anyway.

Now, the Dungeon expected Chaos to pick an of these choices and then delve into a monster-infested place to decimate him and his two strange companions!

Maybe not now, but soon enough he would be worn down!

…Right?

Chaos glanced in front of him, three choices were given.

The straight direction led to a volcanic cave filled with pools of lava and fire.

The right direction led to a humid cave filled with mushrooms.

And the left direction led to an underground jungle!

"Hm, there are three routes now… How interesting. What will you choose, Lord Chaos?" asked Belphegor.

"Let's go for the one in front of us," said Chaos, without any other word, as he delved into the hot caves filled with pools of lava, and flames floating everywhere.

"Oh, it's pretty hot in here!" said Abyss, who felt the temperature changes but was unaffected by them.

"It is indeed quite hot, I feel revitalized," said Belphegor, his flames were flowing upwards as if he were gaining new strength constantly.

Chaos and his party traveled through the extensive cavern for a few minutes. The ground was made of hard black rock, and they would occasionally find large red crystals glowing over the ground, which Chaos picked up and snacked on.

This was the first time that Chaos was exploring such a new place, he had never seen lava before, so he was very surprised about the warmness of the place, which was rather comfortable for him.

"This feels like a date, doesn't it?" asked Abyss.

"A date?" asked Chaos curiously, he didn't know the exact term of a "date".

"A date! Like… when two people go out together to have fun…" said Abyss.

"But we are three," said Chaos, pointing at Belphegor.

"Fweh… Y-You don't get it, Master?" sighed Abyss.

"Well, not really… but maybe it still a date but with three," said Chaos.

"Hehe, okay then…" said Abyss.

As the two were talking mellowly, Belphegor glanced at them.

"(Hmm, my lord shall have a big family…)" he thought.

SPLASH!

As the trio was walking near the large pool of lava, a sudden creature surged from it!

Chaos had already detected it but waited for it to emerge on its own, as he glared at it with his crimson-red eyes.

"ROAR!"

The essence of flames exuded from this creature, resembling a piranha covered in hard red scales and having two pairs of limbs, like those of a lizard…

Chaos quickly used Appraisal, finding that it was a Blazing Piranha Wyrm, a subspecies of lesser wyrm's, who held a very thin amount of dragon bloodline and had the potential to become one if they evolved enough. The creature had the size of a car but was merely an A-Rank Monster.

"Oh, that's an interesting specimen, my lord," said Belphegor.

"Hm… Let's see how good you taste," said Chaos, as he extended his jaws towards the roaring fish-like wyrm, who threw several fireballs at him, but he was unfazed, his jaws moved at fast speed and caught the beast without it even being able to escape in time.

"GRYAARR…!"

Crunch.

Using his sharp fangs, Chaos crushed the wyrm inside his jaws and began to munch it while being alive, savoring its insides and the fresh blood.

Chaos… didn't even saw the creature as a threat…

It was a treat, in fact!

"Uwah, that looks yummy…" said Abyss, as Chaos swallowed it.

"Sorry, I should have left some for you," he said, licking his teeth.

"Oh! Don't worry about that my lord, I am happy that you get to enjoy it~!" said Abyss.

Ding!

[You learned the following Skills]

[Fire-Resistant Scale Production]: Generate fire-resistant, red-colored scales over your body, enhancing your defenses, can be stacked with other similar skills or the user's own scales for super extra protection.

[Fire Breath]: Gather mana inside of your throat and generate searing flames by pushing down your breath, burning anything that it touches.

…

Two new Skills! This little meal seemed more interesting than what Chaos had originally thought.

At this point, was there any challenge whatsoever? Chaos was simply collecting Skills from left and right and that was it…

"Ah, there are more coming!" said Belphegor, as several presences emerged from the lava pool in front of the group, and the one on the other side!

Splash! Splash! Splash! Splash!

Like leaping frogs, more of these little and ugly piranha-faced fire wyrms emerged from the lava pools, reaching to Chaos with great speed, leaping like frogs, even!

"Dozens… no, there are hundreds! It seems that eating the first one triggered a chain reaction within their race, now, they see you as a big threat that must be stopped, my lord," said Belphegor.

"Hm, I don't know why that reminds me of something," thought Chaos, reminding his faction.

"GRYAAR!"

The large army of leaping piranha-faced wyrms rushed towards Chaos, Abyss, and Belphegor, as Chaos stepped on front and raised his tail, encompassing it with his spectral attack skill and releasing a swipe attack that unleashed a wave of chaotic spectral energy!

CLAAASH!

"Grryaar!"

"Gruuorrr…!"

"Grruarr…!"

The wyrms were massacred in an instant, dozens were killed by Chaos mere tail whip, like a deadly wave of all-consuming darkness, his specter represented the deadly soul he possessed, his Chaotic Soul!

"Hehe, amazing! Amazing! My lord is amazing, isn't he?" laughed Abyss, as she rushed towards the Wyrms that were not easily massacred, using her Crushing Charge Skill to crush them with the weight of her body, and then consuming them on the spot! Their fireballs and breaths were nothing much against her!

"Oh my, what a pair of living disasters," laughed Belphegor.
