Chapter 352: Reinforcements.
He had taught the demigods of the Kunut race how to build the portal and it was very easy for them to learn it.
As demigods their mental prowess is outstanding and as librarians, even as mortals, their ability to learn is exceptional. So it was easy for them to learn it.
But learning and doing are two different things. Despite knowing what to do, it had taken them more than a hundred years to finally succeed in creating the portal.
The delay was because they couldn't manipulate blood precisely enough to create the blood portal. Even when they succeeded, it was due to luck and chance. And the portal crushed him and nearly killed him when he used it.
But that won't happen this time around. This time around, he will create a stable and strong blood portal with a large channel that can not only summon a primordial vampire safely, but it can also summon many primordial vampires too.
Despite his precise control, it took him three days to construct the blood portal. It could have tekn him less time if he hadn't been determined to construct the best portal possible within his current means.
Either way, even if he had decided to construct a shoddy blood portal, he wouldn't have even able to do it if there were enemies attacking him or interfering with his work. It is only with peace and quiet that he can construct this piece of blood art capable of bringing vamojoacross vast distances in space.
When he was done, the lake of blood and become a small cup of blood. It was hovering in the air while a large circular structure that resembled a maze had been constructed on the ground.
He clapped his hands and said with some grumpiness, "Let's get this over with."
He began to input his magical power into the labyrinth of blood. This caused the labyrinth to glow red.
As he input more and more power into the labyrinth, it glowed and its color lightened. It didn't stop glowing until the red turned to orange.
After the blood labyrinth turned orange like metal heated to its melting point, the walls of the labyrinth began to move. The walls moved around and switched positions as if he was trying to solve a puzzle.
He was indeed trying to solve a puzzle. He was trying to solve the puzzle of how to shorten the apparent distance between two different points in space to almost zero.
The better his answer to this puzzle, the better the portal will perform. So he was very careful as he input the spatial coordinates of the two positions and worked out the energy transformation problems of teleportation.
It was complicated work. It wasn't easy at all. But he was a demigod and very experienced with this, so he got its solution on the first try.
His success meant that the labyrinth of blood wouldn't go to waste and he wouldn't need to start again. That would be a waste of his time and energy.
However, the danger wasn't over. He now had two chances. He could grope around for any vampire's signature and pick any vampire that would have him, or he could input specific signatures and summon specific vampires.
The Kunut demigods had done the former and were lucky or unlucky to pick him. It depends on who you ask if they were unlucky or not. If anyone asks him, he will say that they were lucky to pick him.
He doesn't want to do that. He doesn't want to put the identity of his reinforcements up to chance. Plus, he knew the signatures of the primordial vampires he wanted. So he went with the second option.
Going with the second option meant he had to input the signature manually. If he got it wrong and input a signature that doesn't exist, then the spell will collapse and the labyrinth of blood will implode.
He doesn't want all of his work to be in vain. However, he doesn't need to be particularly careful about inputting the signatures because he had met those particular vampires before. He remembers their name and their smell. They are information that he cannot forget. So he can't fail in this process.
Inputting the signature was as easy as recollecting the taste of the blood he had yesterday or the taste of the blood he had on the first day he was born. As a being with perfect memory, he can't forget things like that, so it was easy for him to use the labyrinth to reach out to the primordial vampires he wanted.
But this was where the easy part of the process ended. The difficult part started immediately because he had to convince his siblings to come here.
He had undergone this same process with the Kunut demigods. Of course, at that point when they made contact with him using their own communication process, he was eager to come here, so he was the one making promises to them.
While coming to a new world is a good thing for vampires, and primordial vampires should be happy to come over when the chance to do so is given to them. But this is not going to happen because primordial vampires are not foolish.
It would be another thing if it was a foolish indigene who reached out to them and asked them to cover over. They would be glad to do so. But they became wary of him immediately when they sensed his power through the spell.
They knew immediately that he was a primordial vampire, and they knew that vampires were selfish, so there was no way summoning him then would be for a good thing.
They didn't jump at the opportunity to come at all. Instead, they asked for the full reason why he was summoning them. Since he had to tell them the truth because this was a contract, he told them about the intervention of the Yggdrasil civilization.
