The System of a Vampire

Dracule was was exchanging blows with Draig's humanity swiftly causing sparks to flash all around them. The two were seeking the destruction of the other, it was as if neither could live under the same sky as the other.

While these two were brutally battling a strange occurrence was happening in the blood nebula, slowly those spheres of blood which had become so numerous were slowly drifting out of orbit of the center sphere sinking into the unconscious Draig.

Draig's humanity suddenly pulled a ridiculous maneuver planting his foot in Dracule's genitals causing the Originator to cough blood viciously.

Zarra had been shocked by the maneuver but he had still seen such tactics used, Dracule on the other hand had never once heard of a warrior who was so shameless. His pale face had become white as a ghost, he was unable to recover fast enough and received a torrential series of cuts removing his arms and legs before his torso was kicked from his limbs.

"It seems I have successfully disarmed you" laughed Draig's humanity unaware of the oddity occurring with the blood nebula.

"Your shameless" gasped Dracule still recovering from having his bells jingled.

"It's not shameless if it allows me the upper hand" laughed Draig's humanity until he suddenly felt a similar strike with much greater force.

"They're breaking, they're breaking." cried Draig's humanity noticing the dismembered arm clutching his beloved kahones.

"Ahhh" cried Draig's humanity

"Shameless but effective" stated Dracule sneering as his limbs reconnected as he walked forward and grabbed his remaining arm before reattaching it.

The two of them were wore out from these two decisive blows but they knew it wasn't possible to end this battle until only one of them remained but it was at this moment that the both of them were blown off their feet.

"You are both shameless" came the cold voice that carried a sense of power that seemed to weigh on their beings.

"You woke up" said Dracule with a pleased grin as he looked at Draig's humanity with a victorious sneer.

However that soon changed when he found his genitals once again assaulted.

"Truly shameless, you dare attempt to manipulate me and you, you think I need you to try and decide what path is best for me. I don't think I care for either of your plans for my future." stated Draig as he stood before the two lookalikes.

"Draig I'm only trying to do what's best for you" explained his humanity.

"Silence, you are a mere fragment of my being and you think you can make such decisions. Foolish, Arrogant. I don't see a need for you to interfere anymore" stated Draig picking his humanity up by the neck and planting his fangs into his neck draining him completely but unlike what had happenedwith other victims of this tactic he was fully absorbed leaving nothing.

"Excellent little brother, I knew that you wouldn't make such a foolish decision" laughed Dracule ignoring the pain in his crotch but he soon found himself clutched in that same grip.

"You are worse than the former, presumptuous that you would dare try and use me as your harbinger. Sickening that you would even dare to act as though you were trying to help me, you only sought your own goals while also seeking my destruction." stated Draig

"Brother listen I won't allow you to be killed just listen to what I have to say, I am the originator. The Apex Vampire, no one can defeat you with me." explained Dracule.

"Your wrong" stated Draig

"W-what" asked Dracule surprised.

"I Am the Apex" whispered Draig as he sank his fangs into Dracule absorbing him as well.

After absorbing Dracule he disappeared from his soul taking control of his body once again.

As he came to he saw Zarra crouching on the ground holding his hairless ferret.

"You look younger old man" said Draig as he seemed to undergo a drastic change in personality and thought process as his humanity and Dracule slowly fused with him causing a change in his system as the tree and and everything began to disappear as they all fused into his body.

Draig came to a startling realization at that moment as he tried to pull up his system interface.

He no longer had the system of a Vampire, he had become a complete Vampire while keeping his humanity.

"You brat, you tricked me. You dare kick your father in his sacred altar." complained Zarra with gritted teeth.

"Shut up, it's not like you used it." stated Draig needing the silence as he tried to sort out everything that was happening with his memories as he came to understand a few things about the changes that had occurred with his body as well as the disappearance of his system.

Suddenly a wicked smirk formed on his face laughing wickedly.

He was far beyond the hierarchy of Vampires, he was the Originator. All bloodlines were now at his disposal among others but there was downside to this change. He could no longer level up his skills using a system, it required actual training or consumption of a being with a higher understanding.

A bright side that came from this was with the absorption of his Humanity he had full comprehension and access to the skills he had already gained through consumption.

"Your different" stated Zarra becoming serious after his sulking.

"I am no longer human, but I still have humanity. I am something far more grand than any classification of a vampire. I am the Originator" stated Draig looking at Zarra.

"I see" said Zarra seriously until Draig suddenly dropped to his knees and throwing up viciously.

"Y-you bastard" grumbled Draig holding his own tower of power.

"An eye for an eye, and to take a page out of your book. It's not like you use it" laughed Zarra until he once again fell clutching his trunk.

"Your petty"Grunted Zarra

"No I was just taking a page from your book, an eye for an eye was it?" asked Draig as he stood up though with a limp.

"Cheeky brat" muttered Zarra as he summoned his staff to lean on mirroring Draig who was favoring his cane.

The scene was comical as the two began to head into the distance of smoke, the whole way hobbling.

Yes these two were truly the Apex
