BXBX NOVEL Chapter 15 Eleanora, The Vampire Queen
-----
"I am so happy to see you again! I am so happy, so, so happy! It has been so long… So long since that day…! I\'ve been waiting, relentlessly for this moment… Ahh… How much of a bliss is to see you again, and now you\'re back in your younger years, so cute and filled with innocence!" she said. Her eyes shone brightly with excitement, as her adorable smile showed her sharp teeth.
Eleanora had exploded in happiness, it seems. It was to be expected after such a long-awaited reencounter. I was happy as well to finally find her once more. I smiled and let her embrace me in her hugs.
"I am also very happy… But you should calm down for now." I said.
"Ah! Y-Yes… S-Sorry." She apologized.
POOF!
Suddenly, without realizing, Eleanora\'s appearance changed, it was as if she had become way smaller, almost my same size… and looked younger as well.
Did she just became a child?
Her clothes had changed into a cute black and red dress as well.
"I-Is there something wrong?" she wondered.
"Have you not noticed how you became small?" I asked.
"Hm? Huh?"
Eleanora was shocked to see herself having changed. Her body suddenly turned small out of nowhere.
[You\'ve summoned [Half-Vampire Spirit: Eleanora]
[Eleanora has entered her [Energy Saving Form]
[In [Energy Saving Form], Spirits become small in appearance, and can slowly accumulate power to unleash later on in battle as they go to their [Battle Form]
So Spirits have such a thing. This is why Eleanora turned into a little girl almost my age now.
Well, it makes more sense to have a spirit like this than a full-grown adult… I guess it is fair.
"You\'ve entered in an Energy Saving Form automatically, Eleanora. It is a way for you to accumulate power over time and unleash it in Battle Form, your adult form." I said.
"Oh… S-So this world is very different I see… I don\'t even know how I was truly brought back, by just giving you one glance, my lord, I can already notice you\'ve become very weak compared to before…" sighed Eleanora.
"Guh… You don\'t have to rub it in my face… And you too, you\'re not even as strong as you used to be." I said
"I am afraid I have indeed become weaker… Now I cannot be of any use like this… I am a useless being…" she cried.
"Don\'t feel like that, stand up, I need to check something on you." I said.
"Hm?" she wondered.
I looked into the book and… there was indeed a new page, in this page, Eleanora showed up.

I see. Unlike me, Eleanora is way stronger, and comes with Skills, even. That\'s obvious, she\'s a Summoned spirit, while I am the summoner. If the summoned spirit is weaker than the summoner then what\'s the point?
She has over 5 points in almost everything compared to me, however, her Intelligence is lower… Her Skills are five if you count the Title Skill.
Half-Vampire seems to be a Skill that gives her an enhancement to all her stats by a small amount when she drinks blood. It also weakens Blood-type weaknesses…
Charm is an easy to tell Skill, her appearance is pretty and she\'s indeed quite charming, so she probably can have a better and more favorable interactions with others, making others easily trust her, maybe.
Blood Edge seems to be the ability of all those with Vampire Bloodline of manipulate blood and make it as sharp as blades, giving it an "edge", she cannot manipulate much as of now.
And Shadow Sneak allows her to meddle with shadows and hide in them for a bit.
And that\'s it.
It isn\'t nearly as big as her original repertoire, and her body composition seems to be materialized, but she\'s made of spiritual energy, and cannot properly cultivate Qi without a physical body.
However, Aether seems to be very high on her due to her previous life soul being damaged but still containing her power. Perhaps I can make her use it and cultivate it.
She doesn\'t have Mana because her energy source is my own Mana… So to conjure any Skill, she requires my own Mana. Blood Edge and Shadow Sneak are the only Skills that can be activated, and they cost a variable amount of mana per activation depending in how much she wants to do with them. But the minimum is 1 Mana for a single blood projectile.
I already spent 7 Mana Summoning her so… The Mana I have left is only 3.
"My lord, are you done?" she wondered.
"Yes, look at this, this page shows your Status. Lucifer, that bastard, revived me and gave me this to grow stronger. He intends to go for a second round and desires us to grow stronger through these means… Of course, I won\'t move according to the script, but its not like I won\'t use this to my advantage." I said.
"L-Lucifer…! That bastard… I see. So he wants such a thing, my lord." She sighed.
"Don\'t call me "my lord" anymore. I have already stopped being Asmodeus… Eleanora, from now on call me Blake, my new name." I said.
"Blake…?" asked Eleanora.
"It is as plain as it sounds, but I like it. I\'ve grown to like it." I said.
"Understood, Blake." Said Eleanora.
"Ah, this feels a bit weird, but I will have to get used to it…" I sighed.
"I-Indeed…" sighed Eleanora while giggling.
Eleanora was quick to understand the whole situation after I explained to her a bit more, she also heard about my new family and more, and even about Erika…
