Chapter Seventy-Three: Another Race (Collect!Recommend!)
The Mind Eaters are a strange race of the Abyssal World, unlike other Abyssal races, they do not have a strong body, their body is just a bug-like creature, but they can control other creatures through parasitism.
According to Ron's guess, it is very likely that the Heart Eater is not the original race of the Abyss, and according to the scene of the ancient abyss world that Ron dreamed of before, it is almost impossible for that kind of world to evolve a creature like the Heart Eater, so it is more likely that the Heart Eater is a race demonized like the Abyss Demon Horse.
There are two manifestations of the Mind Eater's strengthening, one is to control more organisms, and the other is to control stronger organisms.
Just like the Mind Eaters who came to greet Ron before, they are actually just a Mind Eater, and the advantage of this is that the chances of survival are greatly increased. And if the Mind Eater wants to control stronger individuals, when its own strength is not enough, it is possible for the Mind Eater to carry out 'autophagy', reducing the number of clones and increasing the strength of a single clone. (Ron doesn't know how the Mind Eater determines whether he can control the target individual, but it's likely to be related to mental power.) )
..........
At this point, Ron followed the mind eater who had come to greet him to a huge manor. Through the Abyss Altar, Ron absorbs basic information about this world, which is a social structure similar to the Western Middle Ages on Earth, with kingdoms, nobles, knights, and commoners.
And one of the clones of the Heart Eater who assists Ron is Ron's owner in this manor, Viscount Sharo.
Lil Sharo is a nobleman in the Duchy of Lills, now in his sixties, and the most valuable of the individuals controlled by the Mind Eater - of course, these are all said by the Mind Eater himself, and Ron is not sure whether it is true or false for the time being.
It is precisely because the Mind Eater has controlled Lil Sharo that he has the ability to slaughter a village to receive Ron's arrival, and it has a little room for development to develop the 'True God Cult' with the secret help of Viscount Sharo.
And because of the control of Lil Sharo, this mind eater has a chance to see the shadow side of this world.
...........
Ron stood in the basement of the manor castle, the campfire on the wall was flickering, Ron's shadow was slightly distorted and transformed, and the depths of the basement were dark, but Ron's excellent dark vision allowed him to see what was in the shadows.
"Da-da-da
"Ding-ding
In the darkness, a pair of scarlet pupils lit up.
The last bonfire was lit, and the things in the darkness were illuminated by the firelight.
It was a ragged, very emaciated humanoid.
Not to mention anything else, just by looking at this guy's appearance, you know that it is not human, scarlet pupils, two sharp and exposed fangs, dark nails, and a wild aura like a beast all over his body.
"What is this?" Ron asked, although he already had some guesses in his heart, to the 'Viscount Sharo' beside him.
"Vampires, who call themselves the Bloods, are a race that lives in darkness and feeds on human blood. Viscount Sharo's hoarse voice sounded.
"Is this really the thing?" Ron rubbed his fingers as he looked at the chained vampire, who also looked at Ron with a scarlet gaze like a pool of dead blood, without a trace of fluctuation.
"How did it end up in your hands?" Ron asked casually.
"He came to the door on his own!" said Viscount Sharo.
"A month ago, this guy approached my manor and said he wanted to give me a chance at immortality and wanted to turn me into a vampire. After that, I sacrificed more than a dozen knight guards to take down this vampire. Viscount Sharo said.
"Hmm," Ron nodded.
Naturally, it is impossible for the mind eater to agree to the transformation of the vampire, if he is still the previous Viscount of Sharo, it is possible, but the current Viscount of Sharo has been controlled by the heart eater, and the fact that the mind eater can control the human body does not mean that it can control the body of the vampire.
There was no need for the Mind Eater to take this risk, and if it failed, it would lose a noble clone of its high status.
"Then I experimented and took control of a vampire's body. Viscount Sharo said.
At this moment, a man in knight's armor walked up to Ron and let out two strange roars, and the eyes of the man in knight's armor suddenly turned scarlet, and two long fangs appeared from the corners of his mouth.
Ron looked at each other and asked, "What's the difference with humans?"
"Afraid of the sun, suitable for living in the dark, there is a certain increase in physique under the moonlight, the strength is about one and a half times that of ordinary people, the speed is twice that of ordinary people, the self-healing ability far exceeds that of humans, and it can absorb moonlight to replenish energy and enhance strength. That guy can wield the transcendent power of a silver glow, and my body, though transformed by it, doesn't have that ability. Said the knight who had turned into a vampire.
Ron nodded, then asked, "What's wrong with this guy?" Ron had always spoken the language of this world, but after they had been here for so long, the vampire had shown nothing but to look at Ron.
"In order to prevent it from escaping, I only feed him a ration of blood every ten days, so that he hangs for his life, but not enough to have the strength to escape. ”
"Heh... Not bad. Ron exclaimed. Although he didn't have much contact with the Mind Eater, he knew that the Mind Eater was closer to the human way of thinking than most of the demons in the half-blood demon race.
"Feed him more. Ron said, then turned and walked out of the basement, the Mind Eater following him.
"Bloodline... I won't let you go—" Behind him, the voice of a vampire was heard hoarse and weak.
..........
In one of the castle's rooms, Ron sat in the room that Sara had arranged for him in an animal skin robe after bathing in the castle's maids.
Ron had a glass of dark red liquid in front of him, the color of blood, but different from human blood, with an indescribable nuance, it was the blood of the vampire knight. The blood clan lives on blood, and such a cup of blood has already hurt the vitality of that vampire knight.
"Let me see the mysteries of the so-called Bloodline!" Ron picked up his cup and took a sip of the dark red blood in it.
..........
Larry's Village, the village where Ron was sacrificed in blood.
At this time, a group of three men in black had already arrived in the hall where Ron had descended, and one of them was standing at the front, his eyes shining with a silver light.
In an instant, a blurry image appeared in his mind, a group of dozens of black-robed people surrounding the 'pyramid' made of corpses. Suddenly, a dark red 'flame' suddenly appeared on the pyramid.
"Buzz.." It was as if he could hear the evil spell that called out to the devil.
Until he saw a dark, strong figure coming out of the flames, and faintly could see the black scales on the figure's body.
The next moment, the picture in the black-clothed man's mind disappeared, the black-clothed man flickered, and almost fell to the ground, and the black-clothed man behind him hurriedly came over to support the other party.
"Something more evil than those guys has come. The old voice rang out.
