I Became A Zompirewolf Chapter 272 Two Of A Kind (2)

Chapter 272 Two Of A Kind (2)

Ashton could not believe what he heard. Turn her into one of his kind? Was it even possible in the first place? After all, Avalina did extensive research on the topic for over a month and the only answer she could derive was... Ashton could be a tribrid because of the Xyran organs.

Anna did not have the privilege he did. Without the organs, she won't survive the transformation and die! Ashton couldn't risk her life like that.

Astaroth knew this, yet he did not warn Ashton about it. Simply because he wanted to confirm something. Frankly, he did not care about anyone on the planet, but his vessel. Whether Anna survived or not was none of his concern.

But if he wanted to confirm the suspicions that had been nagging him for a while, Astaroth needed to convince Ashton to try and convert her. No matter what kind of cheap trick he had to employ to achieve it.

"Convert her? She would not survive the-" Ashton argued but was promptly cut off.

[Listen to me. If you don't do it, this girl would die either way. Her flames would eventually run out and when they do, she'll convert into one of the undead and you'll have to kill her.]

"But the Xyran organs-"

[As things stand, you only have two options. One, you convert her and give her a fighting chance. Or two, you don't do s.h.i.+t, she turns into an undead and you kill her then. What's it gonna be?]

Ashton gritted his teeth in frustration. Anna was doomed if he did convert her and doomed if he didn't. The worst thing about it, Anna couldn't even make the choice for herself.

But the way her unconscious body was trying its best to fend off the corpsification, it was clear she had the will to live. Ashton could give her that opportunity. Even though her life wouldn't be the same as it was before, she would at least be alive.

"Tell me what I have to do."

[Just do what you have always done, bite her. But instead of sucking blood from her, inject your blood into her body.]

"You do know what happens-"

[I know. I have felt it before. Whenever you bite a prey, bloodl.u.s.t takes over you and all you want to do is kill them.]

"Right."

[Don't worry about it. If such a scenario arises, I'll knock you out from the inside and take over your body it'll you regain consciousness. Do it already now, she won't last for long!]

Ashton gently lifted Anna's head up, bringing his razor-sharp canines closer to her nape. He was still having second thoughts about it, but not enough to make him stop. Soon enough, he broke through her skin, plunging his teeth into her throat.

Her blood gushed straight into his mouth. Unlike the blood he had tasted before, Anna's blood was exceptionally warm and sweet. It almost felt like he was drinking caramelized sugar. Her blood was... perfect. So much so, that he wanted more and more.

[Ashton, control yourself! You're trying to save her, not kill her. Inject your blood into her, not the other way around d.a.m.nit!]

Astaroth's words shook Ashton back to his senses. Thanks to the Xyran, he was able to flee the trap of his bloodl.u.s.t and focus on the task at hand. It felt a bit weird, but he somehow managed to force his blood into Anna's body, through his canines.

Moments after doing so, Anna's body began twitching which soon turned into flailing in pain. She opened her glowing red eyes, but she still seemed to be unconscious. Her body was on fire, even though she wasn't screaming Ashton knew she was in anguish.

Just like he had been over a year ago when he was bitten into by a vampire and an undead.

[Imbue her with some of your Dark Aura now!]

"What?"

[Just place the crystal on her chest and imagine pus.h.i.+ng the dark aura into her!]

Ashton did not know what the f.u.c.k was Astaroth planning, but since Anna's life depended on him, he had no choice but to do as he was being told. Dark Aura was merely a refined form of Abyssal smoke, hence it had the capacity to kill someone.

But to Ashton's surprise, the moment he gave her some of his Dark Aura, her flailing stopped. She wasn't in pain anymore. Her breathing got back to normal... but her appearance changed.

All the black patches covering her were gone. Her skin turned light, and she grew a lot, in a lot of places...

Her already perfect figure was now more refined. One could call it a perfect hourgla.s.s. On top of that, she was no longer 5' 7", and now stood at 6' 0".

But those were only minor changes. The most interesting part was the appearance of tiny horns and scarlet wings on her back. She also grew a tail. Just by looking at her, Ashton felt a bit weird. His body temperature shot up. Higher than ever before.

[You're ahem... s.e.xually aroused kiddo. It happens when you turn someone for the first time. You'll get used to it. However, there might be another reason why you're feeling like that.]

"What?"

[Can't you see, the girl didn't turn into a Zompirewolf, as we expected. Well, initially she did, but she evolved into something else. Something your kind calls a Succubi. A demonic one at that.]

At the same time, another notification appeared in front of Ashton. One he had never seen before.

__

The transformation was successful!

The target had successfully been turned into a Demonic Ichor Succubi.

Current number of a.s.sociates: 1

Third Innate ability has been revealed: [Form Conversion].

[Form Conversion]: This innate ability allows the user to convert a target into a different species altogether. By feeding your blood into the target's body, the target can extract information and freely choose a suitable subcla.s.s from the variety of creatures' DNA present in the host's blood.

Grade: High (level 10)

Cooldown: 1 Month.

"Wait but I never-"

[It's me. Or my organs specifically, that gave her information about the succubi race and her body chose it to be her next evolutionary step.]

"This is weird. I bit her so shouldn't she have turned into a Vampirewolf or something?"

[We can discuss the details later. For now, grab her and get going. The smoke can still harm her.]

Astaroth might have said that, but all he wanted was time to think about what happened. The fact that the Dark aura helped Anna stabilise and help her select a subcla.s.s that was strictly limited to the Xyrans, could only mean one thing.

The Xyrans were the ones who created Abyssal Smoke. Or someone who had access to a lot of Xyran corpses to extract their essence from.

Either way, if a higher civilization had found its way to Earth, Astaroth might not be as safe as he thought he was.
