Chapter 471 Fledgling Blood Ancien
In another location, the Vampyre Ruler Vladivostok had a frustrated expression as his communications with Elena, the one being who had access to the Crixus that shone brightly in the hands of the Celestials-was cut off.
He had sent numerous messages towards her and the forces in the Underworld that he controlled, only to get no replies as time passed!
His troubles seemed to only be compounding, as he knew his position in the Alliance would waver if he could not even maintain a handle on such a powerful spy that they placed into the ranks of Celestials.
He turned towards one of his subordinates as he asked irritatingly.
"The force towards the Verittas Fortress has set off?"
"Yes, Master. The Royal Vampyre Rokku and his forces should arrive within a few hours."
The Vampyre Ruler Vladivostok nodded as his red eyes shimmered. He knew this first battle against the Celestials was pivotal, and would even set the tone for the remaining battles that came after.
He had sent numerous Vampyres down to reinforce the defenses of the Mages there, their other forces moving to tighten their defenses in other important areas as they prepared.
He put the thoughts of Crixus aside for now as he focused on the current matters at hand, the vibrant power of this being at the Star Forging Realm moving forward.

In the Verittas Fortress, three days had passed as Noah's clone enjoyed the treatment of the Mages while he trained to max the proficiencies of his skill trees.
While only three days had passed in the outside world, he had spent more than 3 months in the Time Space! This was a truly ridiculous number to even imagine, but it made possible for the rapid advancements of raising proficiencies of skills and then combining them.
Two skill trees had already met the requirements and were taken into the Domain Expansion Realm as he worked double to combine solo skills he wasn't using into the Domain Rank and then sacrificed them into the skill trees. The other two Skill Trees were not far behind as they only waited for the required sacrificial skills at the moment!
The ones he worked to upgrade first were the [Kin of Ancients] and [Kin of Terror], their advanced skill trees actually taking on similar names as he chose the path where both of them were termed "Fledgling".
He advanced these ones first as they would be the ones he would most likely use the most in the coming days, the Arch Lich Ra'Zan and Fate's Guardian being left behind for now. After these, the next one of great importance that had taken even longer to raise up was the [Agent of Chaos] skill tree that directly opposed the Law of Fate!
But for now, the first one was the [Kin of Ancients] skill tree that had the abilities of the Blood Lord at their base. This skill tree was expanded to a pathway that was called [Fledgling Ancient]!
DOMAIN [Blood Lord] (45/45):: Abilities- Dawn of the Blood Lord(5/5), Blood World(5/5), Drain Life(5/5), and Nightmarish Descent(5/5). >> [Kin of the Ancients] (60/60) :: Ancient Blood Scion(5/5), Ancient Blood Clone(5/5), Summon the Ancients(5/5), Blood Rage(5/5) >>[Fledgling Blood Ancient] (75/75) :: A fledgling of a race of powerful creatures that occupy the Letalis Expanse, the skills of this particular fledgling leaning more towards the control of blood. Abilities Include Blood Summoner(5/5), Blood Clone Support (5/5), Drain Master Support (5/5), and Domination (5/5)
[Blood Summoner] (5/5) :: When the abilities Dawn of the Blood Lord and Ancient Blood Scion are simultaneously active, the user can summon 30 Blood Ancients to aid them.
[Blood Clone Support] (5/5) :: The Ancient Blood Clone is further strengthened, now being able to exhibit 100% of the main body's strength.
[Drain Life Support] (5/5) :: The Drain Life ability is enhanced, its effects not limited only to attacks dealt as an aura of blood will passively erupt to leech the life force of the targeted enemies around you. The Life Steal effect is increased from 5% to 10%.
[Domination] (5/5) :: The eyes of the Fledgling Blood Ancient release a dominating light that enthralls any with weak souls. The bodies of the dominated can then be controlled to either replenish the Blood Ancient with [Blood Bag], or deal damage to surrounding enemies by [Blood Bomb].
A set of shining new skills were displayed in front of him, his eyes going over them a few times as he largely understood them all without needing to go over them.
The Drain Life Support and Blood Clone Support were straightforward, with the latter being even more useful by granting his Ancient Blood Clone the power to exhibit the entire strength of the main body. This now meant that there were two of him that could effectively release his entire power at full capacity!
Although one would have to wonder, did the previous percentage cap of 60% even limit the clone's power in any significant way when one thought about the mana available to it?
Noah then moved on to the other two, the Blood Summoner being a fairly unique one as it allowed him to summon 30 new combatants as long as he had two specific skills active. If these Blood Ancients were anywhere close to the power of the Ancients that he could call upon with the [Summon the Ancients] ability, he would not have to worry at all about their fire power.
The last one was the most unique one, the ability called [Domination] that made him actually look forward to trying it out on the battlefield! Shockingly, this ability allowed him to bring to his command those with weak souls, and those dominated souls only had a single fate- the blood and body be used to replenish him or as explosions to damage those around them!
It seemed like a very flashy and destructive skill that he could not wait to put to use when imagining the Legions of Celestials nearing this location.
With this skill upgrade, he sadly did not come across any other Guider type jobs similar to the [Unruly Guider] ability that stemmed from [Fate's Guardian], and this stood the same as he glanced at the upgraded skill tree of the Kin of Terror, which had added 4 new abilities under the next advancement- [Fledgling Aether Terror]!
