Capítulo 40: Ancient Spirits

Yizer is one of the few dark skinned vampires but not of noble status, even though he's a commoner he was able to rise to a captain rank, and unlike how other vampires treat other lifeforms as food he sees them as people.

After landing on Dra's moon he led an exploration expedition, they have been walking through the woods for three days now and they haven't seen anything except a few wild beast who try to attack them, they survived and after another three days they came to a part of the forest that's filled with glowing blue gigantic trees.

"This is magnificent" - one of the expedition members who's wearing a futuristic armored suit with white lines all over it, different from the soldier's armored suit who is all black, this one represents a medical officer.

Even though vampires are all powerful and all, there are still things that could hurt them, anyway the huge trees were a sight someone would be amazed with as the medical officer got close to touch one of the trees Yizer stopped him and touched the tree instead.

Then the tree started glowing brightly even more, he took his hand off and the tree goes back to its glowing slightly mode.

-Kijiji..Kjjj

A hologram-like scanner appeared in the medical officer arm and started scanning the tree and its surroundings showing below ground of the trees in each member helmet vision.

"Linked, it truly is magnificent" Blue lights flowing from tree to another linked.

"Let me touch it, I want to feel it by my bare hands" the medical officer pressed a screen in his arm and the armored suit started cracking and opened up, the officer stepped out of it and touched the tree with his bare hand.

But when he touched it, his hand got burned off "ahhh…"

He looked at his hand and found out it is not healing at all, instead the glowing blue light attached itself to his hand and entered his body.

"Get it off..get it off" the medical officer looked a bit terrified and all the others could do was watch, the light kept moving through his body slowly then it went fast and reproduced more lights and eventually.

-Boom!

The medical officer exploded and his flesh scattered everywhere, when every saw this they were afraid for the first time, Yizar then moved to the medical officer suit and pressed a few buttons and the suit closed up and a holographic face appeared in the helmet, it was Lia.

「What is the emergency?」

"MC679 is down and the cause is that" Yizar said and pointed at the glowing trees, when Lia saw this she began scanning and when a bunch of data appeared in front of her, she freezed for a moment and commended.

「Send an order to all expedition teams, use anything you have to erase these trees from the planet, use ships if you want to」 as she commended she disappeared and the suit started floating and went back to the base.

"You heard it, now what are you waiting for? Go on.." Yizar said but before finishing what he was going to say, he heard whispers coming from the trees, he looked around and saw everyone doing their work and thought he was only hearing things.

As he was going to start destroying the trees, he stopped when the whispers became even more clear, they were calling for him to 'take the power' over and over again, he switched his weapon to laser mode and pointed it at his teammates then fired and cut their heads clean, but one of them escaped.

Yizar stepped off the suit and went ahead and touched one of trees, unlike that poor medical officer who got exploded, Yizar didn't even get burned instead even more glowing lights entered his body, yellow, green, red, blue, orange, colorful light entering his body and at the same time all the similar trees in the planet and including planet Dra started glowing in colorful light.

When everything settled and Yizar sucked in all the lights inside his body, his eyes changed to complete black with growing veins around them moving constantly, his fangs extended even more and when the ray of the sun touched his skin, it began burning so when he saw that he turned back to his suit but found it gone, but one of the trees nearby started moving and shaped it self to cover Yizar completely protecting him from the sun light, he then began changing even more and then inherited the trees memories.

These kind of trees are home kind spirits, and they spanned galaxies, but when the planets they resided in gave birth to intelligent lifeforms, the kind spirits granted them power and in returned they got sealed and treated badly out of fear and since then they swore vengeance of wiping out all life, and their time came when they established contact with a foreign magical species they had never seen or heard of.

And out of the species candidates only Yizar was deemed the potential to survive the transformation to a bloodthirsty monster who only has the wish of the once kind spirits embedded inside him.

And that is to wipe out all intelligent life whether they were guilty or not and that included the vampires also but the spirits only know them as a foreign magical species nothing more.

….

-Meanwhile at the landing site -the temporary built base is full of red light sirens.

"Lia the scans are detecting a huge magical spike at the team CX0023 location, and we have five other personnel down excluding 'MC679'"

「...what about the other two」

"Only one came back and he was somewhat…"

「Somewhat?」

"Terrified"

「Send him in」

After few minutes, the soldier entered the lab where Min Joo was currently sleeping at but was engulfed in black and red smoke inside the chamber and one could see his face, but when the soldier looked at the chamber he knew who was in there and became even more terrified as he felt the pressure around the chamber.

「Report what happened」

Then the soldier went on telling about everything that happened about how Yizar had gone crazy all of a sudden and started killing his teammates.
