Moving on to Eleanora's new Skills, there's the amazing Blood Aura, which I've been thinking for a while as I analyzed the power of Shadow Trap Creation.
Skill Proficiency: 0/10000
The most fundamental power of a Vampire. By activating this Skill, the innermost Blood Energy and Mana is gathered within the user's body, conjuring an aura of blood red color.
The Aura can be used to enhance the entire physique of the user, temporarily increasing all Stats by +20% with each Skill Level, it also enhances the damage dealt by any Blood Attribute Spell or Skill by +20% with each Skill Level and allows for heightened senses and vision that can pass through solid objects. However, it constantly drains Mana and Blood Energy.
Incredible, in the form of a Skill, Blood Aura has become even more impressive and useful. Blood Energy is the same as Blood Ki, it merely has a different name as "Ki" as a whole concept doesn't seem to exist in this world, so it is called "Energy" instead, which seems to be alright to me. But this also means that Eleanora's traps can also drain Ki, which seems rather… amazing, to be honest.
They not only weaken monsters' vitality but even their magic power, this way they're ready for the chopping board.
"Excellent, Eleanora. I think we are ready. We got some free time for now. We have to go tomorrow to Erika's home, but for now let's go explore the forest and see if we can find any monster. Let's try our luck." I said.
"Alright, I also want to try out my new Skills and the Spells I got!" Said Eleanora. "But what about your Mana?"
"Fear not, I've prepared an assortment of snacks and fruits." I said, I quickly took fruits from my bag and shared them with Eleanora. They were green apples, pears, and peaches I got from the people I've sold drinkable and clean water made out of magic.
"Ooh, dessert! But alone is kind of boring…" She said.
"That's why we'll make a fruit salad." I said. "This way the [Cooking] Skill will activate and allow the food to also restore my MP quickly."
"Ah! With what?" She wondered.
"Let's make whipped cream with the cow milk I got yesterday. With magic it should be still good to drink."
And like that, we spent twenty minutes making whipped cream and then fruit salad, which we enjoyed with my grandmother, while we left some for my parents over the table. With that, my Mana had recovered rather quickly, already over 60%, so that was more than enough for now. Food made through [Cooking] doesn't simply restore MP right away, but it enhances the natural restoration by a large margin.
Usually up to +40% speed at the recovery of MP. When we got outside, we were not done yet, as I had around twenty Dark Crow Spirit Orbs I wanted to use.
"Wait up, Eleanora, we have to get this new Summon already, I think we should have enough Spirit Orbs to raise it to G Rank right away." I said.
"Oh? The Dark Crow? I really thought you just forgot about it. You're sometimes just thinking so many things… You often forget the most crucial things. Just like how much you delayed Magic Circle creation." She said.
"…I know I often tend to drift in my thoughts so much I forget important things, you don't need to tell me. Having the brain of a kid is hard, it cannot store so many thoughts and it grow stressed quicker than my previous life brain, sadly." I sighed. "I hope this can be changed whenever I reach higher tiers of Physique Cultivation. Well, anyways, Absorb."
[You have absorbed 22 [Dark Crow] Spirit Orbs]
[A New Familiar is available for Summoning [Dark Crow (Bird) (G)]!]
And this is also my first Bird-type Summon!
[Please, choose a name for [Dark Crow (Bird) (G)]
Alright, let's give you a legendary one.
[Black Crow (Bird) (G)] has been named as [Huginn]
The legendary name that the Dark Crow of Odin that represented "Thought" was named after. The only name I've chosen without inspiration was Spore's name, but well… I couldn't think of much when he's just a small walking mushroom.
A sudden card emerged in my hand, with the picture of a black crow over it, it also said "BIRD G" and that was it. The card lacked other information and was merely the recipient of Summons, with them I can store them inside my Grimoire for easy movement so I don't have to carry them inside my Shadows, which has a very limited space.
Without waiting for a single second, I summoned Huginn through the created Summon Card. The Card flashed with bright light and then turned into a mass of white essence, shaping itself into a beautiful crow, it was slightly bigger than the Dark Crows themselves, who reached roughly 30 centimeters, this one was nearly 45 centimeters, and was almost a meter big.
It could easily be considered a really big bird.
A glorious crow emerged, it had black and shiny feathers, large wings, a sharp beak that resembled a spear, and sharp red eyes glowing with an aura of eeriness. His claws also were sharp and could easily rip through flesh. It was a rather simple-looking animal, but abnormally big, and with red eyes, which seems to be a trait of my Familiars, all of them look slightly "darker" or "vampiric".
This made me think that Familiars might be influenced by the Summoner's Affinities. Because of this, my Summons are Black and Red in color scheme as my affinities are Darkness and Blood… Although Spore is also purple and white.
"Oooh! This bird is rather cute and big!" Eleanora said happily. "I wonder if it can lift us?"
"I doubt it, we are too heavy. We would need to summon an even bigger bird for that… Or a Griffin." I said, as I walked towards Huginn and touched his head.
It seemed well tamed right off the bat, there were no problems.
Now, time to see his Status!
