Aron was surprised at the words that Kyros spoke.

Aron had an awkward look at Kyros. It was then that he thought how Kyros must be in great pain.

"I am sorry, Kyros. You've been a very amazing nephew that I forget the terrifying past that you had to overcome.

" Aron recalled how Kyros had no memory when he met him. Was this because of some concussion? Or was it a curse? Aron now believed that it might have been a mix of various things over the shock of the death of his clan.

Aron turned to the three slaves.

"Do you wish to have power? Or do you wish to be cured? Vampires are generally physically stronger than most. The more they consume, the stronger they become. And while the vampire families may have special means of maximizing the energy use to increase the power and bloodline of a vampire, this temple may be able to do the same thing.

" Aron explained.

"Just as Kyros said, you have that choice. So if my nephew is right and that the temple doesn't know what you want, you have to decide. While being a vampire will grant you strength, you will be cursed, and most humans won't want to associate with you.

" Aron added.

"Will you despise us, Master Kyros?

" The young girl asked Kyros.

"No. And not just me, if you vow to be loyal to the Steele family, you'll have a family in us.

" Kyros answered.

"Then the answer is obvious. We want power. We have seen how these vampires would devour each other to grow stronger. The greatest revenge that we can offer our families is to devour those who devoured our family!

" The girl viciously declared.

"I want power!

" The boy next to her declared.

"Me too! I don't want to be a weak boy anymore!

" The third one cried.

"Then so be it.

" Kyros smiled.

Kyros glanced back at the options that had appeared on his screen.

Vampire Master of the Dhampir slaves has been slain and offered to the temple. Bestow true blood to Dhamphir allies or purge the power and cure the slaves?

Kyros selected Bestow, and bright lights immediately lit up the room. There were strange howl-like sounds, and the sounds of screams could be heard.

Kyros could feel how the souls of the vampires were being harvested.

Did Blood Blade saw the scenes and felt a great fear befall him. He knew that those were the means that Skeletons, Vampire Lords, and Eldrich use to absorb the darkness for themselves.

These were the cruelest forms of absorption. Those who walked in the path of Death had the advantage of being reborn through dark magic. For nobles like him, death would only be extremely costly but not a fatal finality to his life.

But when he saw that magic, he shivered as he feared that even he would be devoured. A ripple of magic attacked him, and Zid fainted.

As the process occurred, the kights could feel a strange empowering force fuel them.

"Magic?!

" Aron was the first to notice it. He could feel the power of magic filling him.

The strange power that was being bestowed to them felt like a reforming of the body. The knights, the former vampire slaves, fell unconscious as the full power had created an amazing change in them.

As for Aron, he remained awake, but the strange energy is circulating in his body was stabilizing and allowing him to gain new power. As the power settled, inspiration occurred, and Aron fell into a meditative trance.

As the lights faded, Kyros could see several notifications appearing on his vision.

Kyros was stunned at the sudden level-up. They did not put the Golems or the Lizards in the Temple but only took eleven of the twelve vampires they killed.

Kyros estimated that it would be longer for him to level up.

"I leveled up?

"

"The bloodline. You absorbed a Vampire, which has more concentrated dark energy. Not to mention this temple managed to disperse its soul. The advantage of being Fallen...

" Calaminus commented.

"It seems that my powers can reach newer heights if I absorb powerful races that are close to the darkness or the light.

" Kyros assessed.

"Indeed. And to think that you could even turn people into vampires!

"

"This temple is indeed amazing. This also means that I need resources to perform Job bestowal and the class changes. The Temple can't bestow it, but I need acquire certain items to complete them!

" Kyros concluded.

"Right. You needed the master of the Dhampirs to turn them into vampires. So I guess, if you get a certain Holy energy source, you can even create Paladins!

"

"Yes. Uncle and father were powerful swordsmen with the Steele's secret arts. If I can help them achieve becoming a Paladin earlier, then the Force Paladin special job can be created!

" Kyros smiled.

"I think it may come earlier than expected! Look around you!

"

Kyros looked around and noticed that everyone was unconscious and his uncle is in a meditative state.

"Right. They developed their Magic Pool!

"

"This means that they can officially do magic! Amazing! Although it's a small point, their potential as mages is possible! And if you can give them Elemental cores, they could become Battle Mages!

"

"Let's take things one step at a time.

" Kyros smiled.

It was then Kyros noticed something.

There was still lingering energy at the top of the temple.

"What are those?!

" Kyros was amazed.

The soul hearts of the slain vampires were being harnessed. Suddenly, a power shot out of the bodies of the vampires.

The energy didn't explode out in Kyros to grant Kyros the experience he needed. But instead, it was condensed. The Souls were being converted into another energy form.

The soul power was being compressed, and it gathered around the Soul of Calaminus, which was attached around Kyros.

"What's happening?

" Calaminus tried to avoid the energy, but the temple somehow knew how to get to the soul, and it always caught up with Calaminus.

Suddenly, it wrapped around Calaminus.

The energy gathered, and soon, a dark purple Jewel appeared in Kyros's soul space.

Calaminus Continuum Soul Wisp Formed!

Continuum Soul Wisp Level 1

Abilities:

Continuum Diety

---

Calaminus and Kyros were shocked at what they saw.

"But how?

" Kyros was confused.

"I leveled up?

" Calaminus was horrified.

Calaminus had already planned with Kyros the possible ways they could revive his god soul. The main issue was that a single level up of Calaminus's soul could spell disaster. He was still a god, and having all that power cased in a mortal soul would mean that most gods and fallen could easily find him if they were close enough. So they planned to not make Calaminus increase a single level until they made enough preparations to hide the powerful changes of when a mortal soul with godly powers level up.

"Calaminus?! I thought you said you wouldn't leech off from the energy I get!

"

"I wasn't leeching off! As we already discussed, I'm afraid that if my soul got stronger, we might get discovered by the other gods!

"

"This is bad! Wouldn't the enemies be able to detect us now?

" Kyros frowned.

"I think not... Because I don't feel that strong.

" Calaminus frowned. He expected to gain such godly powers. But nothing happened.

"Best check with the Temple.

" Kyros willed it to make the Soul Wisp details appear.

---

Calaminus Continuum Soul Wisp

The Soul of Calaminus Slimus Eternal.

By transforming the soul of a cursed god into a wisp form, Calaminus can retain its Continuum Powers and cultivate from Soul Wisp to godhood. As a Soul Wisp, Calaminus can independently grow yet conceal its god-powers by being born as a mortal soul. The stronger Calaminus grows, the more Continuum powers he slowly acquires.

---

The two read the description, and only Calaminus was amazed by it.

"The temple can do this?!

" Calaminus was amazed.

"What does this mean? How can it conceal your powers?

"

"This answers a lot of questions. You see, when we got here, I felt that I lost almost all of my godly powers. I figured that the seal of this temple somehow took away most of my powers during our arrival. I mean, I checked my stats. It's basically useless and only retained my Wielder of Continuum trait. This is why I couldn't help you with powerful time magic and had to use your own powers to activate some spells.

" Calaminus began to explain.

"But now I get it! It wasn't dispelled or removed! I was reborn into a soul wisp! The temple solves a lot of problems! I was thinking how I can step out from being this parasitic soul attached to yours, but now this temple provides the opportunity just to do that!

"

"Meaning, you have your chance to ascend to godhood without getting noticed?

"

"Yes! But it's not only that! By growing stronger, I get access to more of my power!

"
