Chapter 64: Channeling The 16th US President
It had been over a week since I summoned Kaede and I had helped her get over much of her trauma. It wasn't gone but was at least not debilitating. I also trained under Sendak. Today was a big day. I had mastered the Four Violet Flames Formation and I had made an Axe with Anti-Vampire enchantments. I also decided to dress in a fancy suit with a top hat and a disguise as Abraham Lincoln. I decided to use weapons to boost my skill level in Weapons Mastery. Now I was just outside the castle where the Vampire summit was taking place.
Rio: "Okay Cherubims 1 through 18 I want you to get into position. don't kill Dracula if you can as he can tell me where the the primordials are. Barrier Clones start the jutsu."
Clones: "Four Violet Flames Formation!"
I moved to the front door and decided to be polite and knock gently.
KNOCK KNOCK... CREAK... BOOM
Rio: "It seems your door was slightly rusted so I had to open it with more force."
Vampire 1: "Who the F$%@ are you?"
Rio: "Language, what if children are watching."
The Vampire looks at me like I am a loon. Another Vampire comes to see what the commotion is and is shocked at my presence.
Vampire 2: "Lincoln how are you alive again? We had a deal we left the US and you said you would stop hunting us."
I pause at that as I was disguised as a joke but now I am confused.
Rio: "Yes, but some Vampires violated that so I came to get bloody revenge."
The Vampire's eyes widen before he runs as fast as he can away.
Rio: "Well since he is likely getting help I think it is time for me to do a little purging."
I rush to the first Vampire and cut his head off before he can even react. I then go on a chopping spree as all the lower-level Vampires are sent to stop me as likely the stronger ones are dealing with the Angels. I have to dodge a strike at me from a spike of blood coming from a dead Vampire. I look over and see a woman of tall height in a white dress.
Lady Tanya: "You should have stayed dead Lincoln, I won't spare you this time."
Rio: "Ah, I am afraid coming here has made my memory foggy, can you remind me who you are?"
Lady Tanya: "You dare forget me! I am Lady Tanya and I will rip your balls off and feed them to you!"
Rio: "Ew, gross. That isn't very ladylike of you."
I dodge another spike of blood that aims for my lower regions. I decided to not mess around as I would rather not be stabbed in the balls today. I use Greater Haste and close the distance between us but I have to dodge as she smiles and the Force warns me of another attack. After I dodge I have to dodge repeatedly as she doesn't let up.
Lady Tanya: "You are much faster than I remember. I hope you don't intend on dodging all day as I can assure you I can go on forever while I doubt you can."
Rio: "Oh is that so? I seem to have forgotten that undead have unlimited stamina. That being said I wonder if you have unlimited Mana?"
She scowls and I seem to have hit the nail on the head. I smile at her and she starts to transform. I grimace as I know what this is and it's not good.
'Darn it she is an ancient.'
Lady Tanya: "Rejoice mortal as you get to see my true and beautiful form."
'How is she so slow if she is an ancient? Could she be a more defensive Vampire? Oh well, I guess I will just have to leave the other Vampires to the Angels.'
I pause as I feel the ground shake and several Angels die.
'Not good I need to finish this lady off and quick.'
Lady Tanya: "It seems your allies have awoken one of the Primordials. They will not live very long."
Rio: "So several primordials are here?"
Lady Tanya: "Yes 3 Primordials are here for the summit though 2 of them will likely refuse to help us. The selfish bastards. So in other words you are doomed to die no matter what happens."
'Okay, 3 of the 10 Primordials are here. That is a bit problematic as I only sensed 1 going to be here. They usually refuse to come to a summit like this.'
I stop my inner monologue as Tanya rushes me. She is not much faster than before but I am wary of her since she is now attempting melee combat instead of ranged combat. After I dodge her I use my Parallel Processing to start gathering the energy for my next attack. When I dodge the next attack I put my hands to my forehead.
Rio: "SOLAR FLARE!"
Lady Tanya: "AHHHHHH!!!!"
I then move to use several holy magic attacks combined with my Axe. I cleave her head off and her body is incinerated. As her head hits the round the Force screams at me and I have to use an emergency teleportation spell.
BOOOOOOOOM
I didn't teleport too far due to the rush and thus I am still hit by some of the blast. I am thrown through several walls before I end up outside. When I finally crash land I start healing myself and looking around. I sense only a few hundred Vampires left but surprisingly only 2 Cherubims left.
'That's not good. Oh well.'
Rio: "Summon Angel 4th"
I summon 10 Pricinpalities and have them go eliminate the gathering of Vampires I sensed while I headed to the struggling Cherubims. What I see when I arrive shocks me.
'Anti-Angel Chains! How? I have only read about them before.'
I see one of the Cherubims chained and the other is struggling to fend off the Primordial. I decided to eliminate the nearby Elders and one Ancient with a sneak attack. I use Perfect Unknowable to get close then I use Force Drain on the Ancient before it can respond. As the Elders realized what was happening I had already won as my Shadow Clones appeared behind them and used the same technique. I reduced the Vampires to ash and drained their energy to then use in a combined attack. I used the hatred and negative energy I drained from the Vampires to use a targeted Force Technique. A technique I had made myself that targets the soul of a being and uses the Dark Side to forcibly tear it to pieces causing pain so fierce it can kill, though once the soul was shredded by the technique the being in question usually dies. The pain suffered during the technique only fuels it thus making it more powerful. The technique requires the life force of another to use it or suffer the backlash. I call it Force Shatter. We target the Primordial and he suddenly stops and screams with pain unending and falls to the ground. He continues screaming until eventually I feel his soul fall apart and his body stills. I check to make sure he is dead and confirm he died.
Rio: "Sigh. That was a tough one. Now you two are you still able to fight?"
Cherubims: "Yes, summoner we can still do battle against the foul ones."
Rio: "Very well then. The Principalities are all dead and I only sense a dozen or so Vampires left, so we should be able to clean up the few remaining before the last 2 Primordials."
I check to see if I can get memories from the dead Primordial and find I can't.
'Too bad, but I will just need to see if I can get memories from the other 2.'
We move and quickly dispatch the remaining non-Primordials. I use my Palantir to see where Dracula is as we haven't encountered him yet. What I find out is confusing. He is sleeping in the basement and seems to not realize they are under attack. I ignore it for now and decide to move on. Before we continue I set up numerous seals that should freeze one of the Primordials. We enter the room and I see only one Primordial but I do see a closed coffin.
Primordial: "So you are the intruder. I am shocked that you actually made it this far. I assumed Nervarath would have killed you by now. Where is he now?"
Rio: "He is dead."
Primordial: "HAHAHAHAHA. AHAHAHAHA. You serious? AHAHAHA, ah that was the funniest thing anyone has ever told me. I mean a Primordial getting killed by some angels and a mortal. I will spare you just for that ridiculous joke. I won't spare the angels though."
The Primordials rushes the Cherubims and gets frozen in the Sealing Array. I decide to take this chance and use Drain Knowledge. When the Primordial realizes what is happening I see unadulterated fear in his eyes. I make sure to finish as soon as I can to give them as few chances to resist as possible. Once I finish all that is left is a mindless monster. I have to eradicate it as it still follows its instincts and will kill everything living. Once it is purged I look to see that the other Primordials haven't awoken yet and decide to abuse this like any good exploiter.
'I am sure Momonga would be proud of what I am about to do.'
I set up a lot of seals and traps then summon multiple clones to help me charge a Force technique that should kill this monster very quickly. Once we are ready a clone opens the coffin. That seems to upset the Primordial as it wakes up and kills my clone before I can even see what happened it matters not as once the Primordial gets up the seals and traps activate and slow down the monster long enough to unleash the modified Force Light. A massive light is expelled from our hands and the Primordials are turned to ashes before it can scream in pain. Once it is confirmed dead I check what I gained so far.
[Ding]
[Killed Vampires + 110610 XP]
[Killed Ancient Vampire + 10000 XP]
[Killed Primordial Vampire + 60000 XP]
[Drained Knowledge = + 13 Intelligence]
[Level Up]
[Level: 69]
[1625/6900xp]
My eyes nearly popped out of my head from all the levels I gained.
'I am kind of scared of how much I missed out on experience by having the Angels kill so many. Regardless I now have an insane amount of Stat Points I can distribute.'
After checking what gained so far I moved the Cherubims downstairs where I sealed Dracula in his Coffin making him maintain his slumber. Then I summoned many clones to begin scrapping procedures.

Authors Note:
The Purging won the vote so here is the Purging of most of the Vampires. A few are still left alive which is why Rio didn't complete the quest. Also, the reason Rio got so few Intelligence points from the Primordial is for several reasons. The 1st is that the Primordials are like 10k years old so much of the info they know is useless now. The 2nd is that they don't get involved with the affairs of lesser beings, so basically they are hermits. The 3rd is the Primordial resisted a little bit making some memories be lost. Those are the reasons I came up with as to why so little was gained from the Primordial. Until next time Ciao.
