Natalia had evolved! It seems that Chaos' Miasma had provoked her vampire bloodline to trigger, and a series of small changes appeared within her body.
Her strength had multiplied several times, her senses had also been enhanced, and within her chest, something had been formed… a Blood Core!
From what Chaos had investigated, Blood Cores were the special organ that Vampires possessed, which helped them cultivate faster by absorbing blood from enemies rather quickly and using it as essential to enhancing their cultivation. As Chaos had both a Blood Core and a Dragon Heart, he was able to cultivate and grow very fast.
However, it seemed that half-vampires were not born with a Blood Core, unlike true Vampires which did have one. Natalia was a Half-Vampire with a thin vampire bloodline, so she never developed her blood core and most of her vampiric powers and capabilities were unexplored for the most part.
However, now… she was finally able to unlock her true potential. Chaos miasma had helped her unlock the inherited power from her father!
"This strength… Is this the power that father used to protect my mother…?" wondered Natalia, gripping her fists, as she felt strong enough to easily shatter boulders into pieces now.
"Well done," said Chaos.
"Ah…!"
Natalia was quickly brought back to reality by Chaos' little congratulations.
"S-Sorry for losing myself in the moment, my lord! T-Thank you very much for allowing me to unlock my true potential…" said Natalia.
"It's nothing. I am glad you were able to awaken more of your bloodline's powers… you've grown very strong. It seems that this wasn't just caused by the miasma, you had a lot of power saved on you," said Chaos.
"R-Really?" asked Natalia.
Chaos nodded.
"Indeed. I can tell quite easily. Especially because of your Blood Core, it seems to have been awakened at a high level straight away," said Chaos.
"Blood… Core? Is this… the thing I feel within my chest?" asked Natalia.
"That's right. Blood Cores are special organs that we Vampires possess. It helps us enhance our growth by consuming large quantities of different types of blood, the stronger the entity whose blood we consume, the stronger our growth is enhanced," said Chaos.
"I see… My father perhaps had one like this… (Wait, is this why I wasn't developing my abilities properly? Because… I didn't have one of these yet…)" said Natalia, realizing why she wasn't developing her abilities as much through all these years.
Chaos analyzed Natalia, seeing her stats…

<Description>
Chaos Dhampir is a new species created after a Half-Vampire was infected with a mutagenic miasma of high density and incredible quality, changing their complete physiology into a new species never seen before in the Universe. Chaos Dhampir possesses powerful and enhanced abilities and has the possibility of evolving into higher forms.
Although her stats were still low compared to his or Abyss, or even Belphegor who was at the peak of X-Rank, she simply needed to train harder and slowly build up more stats and power. And of course, drink a lot of blood from strong beings.
"I'll let you drink some of the blood of the corpses I have in here…" said Chaos, benevolently offering Natalia a large corpse of a Fire Wyrm, which she quickly began to drink without even doubting for a second, after evolving she felt incredibly thirsty.
"Now you guys are next," said Chaos, calling the other former slaves, as they all rushed at his side and offered themselves to this new power. Now that they saw how it worked on Natalia, they were expected to grow stronger!
The black fog began to slowly mutate everyone, although some were able to resist the pain more than others, no one died out of this, so it was a success, nonetheless.
Elves, who were all around E-Rank or D-Rank evolved into Chaos Elves, gaining large quantities of magic power the most, and becoming SS-Rank right off the bat! Edward also became one of these. Chaos Elves developed the ability to conjure powerful Dark Magic.
Humans became Chaos Humans, their appearances didn't change much, the same with Chaos Elves, but they did felt stronger in both magic and physical capabilities, reaching S-Rank. Some such as Catherine developed new magic.
And the Dwarves evolved into… you guessed it, Chaos Dwarves, their muscles became stronger, and they did felt more chaotic… well, a bit. Their strength was developed the most, reaching up to Halfway through S-Rank.
When everyone had evolved, Chaos asked for everyone to begin sparring sessions with the rest of the castle's monsters, so everyone could better understand each other's powers and get accustomed to the new changes too.
Meanwhile, Chaos decided to go summon some new servants… Now that he had a large number of materials, he was dying for using a few of them and summon a bunch of new servants to fill up the empty and big castle and also build a more sizable army!
