I need a Physique that could even destroy the strongest Archdemons and pulverize that damned Lucifer's face!
[Danger! You're trying to converge too many different energies together!]
[Your body is taking severe backlash!]
[The power of the [Vampiric Blood Emperor Physique (Tier 4: Rank 7)] is regenerating your internal injuries!]

Without wasting any time, I kept pushing my own limits, trying harder and harder to converge the energy, but I only obtained more and more destruction.
My entire body was breaking apart internally, yet the power of the Vampiric Blood Emperor Physique regenerated the damage taken, I was chipping away my own life and recovering it constantly, one of the roughest, yet most efficient ways that Vampires can cultivate.
Once it was finally over, I had spent almost all of my energies. However, it felt like I had a long way to go before I could reach this special Physique I wanted, yet its development had improved. I felt something once I woke up from that intense session of cultivation, I felt… like I almost got it.
"Master! Are you alright?!" Eleanora seemed worried. "You pushed yourself too hard!"
"Master drink this Health Potion right away! Also your Mana is too low, you're going to get Mana Fatigue! Drink this Mana Potion." Hendrick quickly handled me several potions, which I began to slowly drink.
"Papa, you're okay?" Saphira wondered.
"Rar!" Even the little Ruby was concerned.
"I am okay." I sighed, drinking the potions. "But I don't know if I have yet reached something-"
[Your comprehension over the several different Energies of the Universe has increased greatly!]
[You have managed to create a small spark, something beyond your own understanding yet.]
[The development of a special Physique that can converge all these types of Energies has advanced!]
[Current Development: 2%]
Oh?! The Grimoire showed me something utterly surprising!
"All of that only for 2%..." I sighed inwardly, yet I couldn't help but smile.
"Only 2% of development?! Even with all your accumulated knowledge?" Eleanora wondered. "You've been trying to create a power even beyond your previous life's self?"
"Yeah! But it worked." I sighed with a smile. "This is perfect, even if its only 2%, it means it exists! It works!"
"Certainly… 2% is quite sad, but if it truly works, then there's no point in being saddened about it!" Hendrick celebrated.
"I don't know what's going on but… yaaay!" Saphira said.
"As long as I keep pushing myself… Eventually, I will reach it." I said. "The ultimate physique."
My Vampire subordinates glanced at me with hopeful eyes, they shared my hardships but also my victories, they felt just as happy as I was.
"Yet… I still am missing something." I sighed. "I need Cosmic Essence… I also need Necrotic Essence… These are the two other Essenes or Energies I am missing, yet they're the hardest to find in this world."
"Cosmic Essence happens naturally in the outer universe, and Necrotic Energy originates from the Netherworld Realms, isn't it?" Eleanora wondered. "Hm, certainly… Wait, could Saphira help?"
"Can I? I am a specter too, right? Maybe I can produce it eventually!" Saphira said.
"Hmmm… Saphira can only produce Phantasmal Energy, but she would need to advance and evolve it through several stages before reaching the Necrotic Essence we need." I analyzed. "But it does seems possible. If we could accelerate her development though, that would be wonderful. Perhaps in our future adventures we might find something."
"And about Cosmic Essence… Why don't we simply go to space? Constructing something that could lift us off into the orbit should do it, no?" Asked Hendrick.
"It's not as if I hadn't considered it before, but its not possible." I said. "This world has a powerful boundary, and trying to go out of it would also enrage the Holy Spirits who are our new allies, we better leave it at that for now. I am sure there must be things such as Meteors, they have Cosmic Crystals most of the time, crystalized cosmic essence.
I will keep researching for areas where meteors could had fallen."
"Well, I should also help out too. I've been visiting the library lately, leave it to me master." Said Hendrick, he was very reliable.
"M-Me too! I will also research!" Eleanora said.
"And I will eat wandering souls and ghosts to grow my phantasmal essence quality!" Saphira also wanted to help however she could.
"Rar!" Ruby simply roared cheerfully.
"Woof!" Blood simply wanted to add a bark.
"Alright, I suppose you're all up for the tasks." I sighed. "I am thankful of having such reliable comrades such as all of you guys. Thanks for being with me even now…"
I ended getting slightly sentimental.
"But of course, Master. I promised you with all of my loyalty that I would stand by your side for eternity as your servant! My master is glorious and inspiring even after having reincarnated into the pesky body of a weakling human." Hendrick said.
"Yeah Papa! You saved me from the slums and gave me food and warm hugs, and always took care of me, so I will now help as much as I can with my powers!" Saphira said with a smile.
"And I will help you and be with you for all eternity, master." Eleanora said. "Since the moment you saved me from starvation when I was but a little child… I had decided I would never go away from your side."
"Alright, you don't have to get so sentimental now…" I sighed, getting slightly embarrassed. "Anyways, let's go help everyone else train their physiques and skills, I want them to get as strong as possible until next week."
