Reincarnated into a New World As a Vampire

Vrrr Vrrr

As though expelled from that world, Naiha and Helga felt their consciousness being shot into their souls with enough force that even after entering their bodies, they were sent sliding two metres across the floor.

"I don't ever want to experience that again." A pissed off Naiha said as she picked herself up.

"Are you alright?" Helga asked.

"Yes, I am. Let's get on with our task before it might be too late. If that being or whatever it is holds even half the power and intention for the world as we've learnt, we're doomed if it finds its way out." Naiha said. Even though Helga noticed that Naiha refused to refer to Aeress as the great mother, she was at least satisfied that Naiha wasn't nagging about it.

"You're right, it would spell the end of the world."

"Hey! Finally! Helga! Can you hear me? I need help! I'm not sure how many times this vessel can heal itself, but it stops any time soon, we're as good as done!" Veronica yelled into Helga's mind. Now that Helga was back, she was reconnected to the great mother's host body and could once again communicate remotely with Veronica without needing a spell.

"Hold on, we'll be back soon!" Helga responded before turning to Naiha and giving her a nod, which Naiha returned.

Helga immediately disappeared before Naiha followed shortly, returning to their bodies. As soon as she returned to her body, Helga initiated a teleportation spell, while Naiha focused back on the great mother's host body to support Veronica with whatever the problem was.

Since they had initially resurrected the great mother to stop Aldritch but ended up having to control the resurrected husk of the great mother, since her soul didn't resurrect with the husk, they initiated a different spell to take over the body.

Now, Naiha could only imagine how much Veronica had been dragged through the mud since the body was left under her control.

As soon as Naiha repossessed the body alongside Veronica, she felt a powerful kick land on the left side of the great mother's face, the kick bringing so much force and weight that the head of the husk spun backwards, cracking the husk's neck.

"JUST LIKE I THOUGH, YOU'RE A TERRIBLE FIGHTER, VERONICA." Naiha reprimanded.

"What? Naiha? Hey! Shut-up! You're the one who got possessed, not me, alright?! Just assist me and stop nagging!"

"Whatever. No time to explain, but our plans have changed a bit, just do as I say…" Naiha said while marveling at the incredible regeneration the husk showed. 'Can the great mother actually do all this? Or is this a new ability? Astounding…'

Listening to Naiha's words, Veronica was a little confused. "What do you mean new plan? The two of you disappeared for barely a minute, and you actually came up with some new plan? What was wrong with the old one?"

Even more confused was Naiha when she heard what Veronica had just said. To think all those days they spent in the nether realm only amounted to a less than a minute. Then again, she was sure that Veronica was exaggerating, so it couldn't have only been a minute, besides, how would one be able to keep track of time under such intense pressure while battling in 'this' manner? 'Even then, it is still impressive.' Naiha thought to herself, acknowledging the fact that day was still yet to break.

As soon as the husk's head was back in place and completely healed though, Aldritch jumped on top the body. His appearance was kind of a shock, as he appeared out of nowhere, pouncing on the body. Since the husk was lying face down, it was more of a disadvantageous position where Naiha and Veronica couldn't fight back fast enough.

"You just don't die, do you? Let's see how you recover from this then." Aldritch said. He then grabbed the husk by the hair, pulling it to raise her head and upper body up backwards while standing over her body.

Naiha and Veronica could only watch blankly with their vision on the dirt as Aldritch clawed off the head of the husk off the body, flinging it some metres to the side while the body collapsed once again to the ground. Their vision spun several times, before stabilizing as the head rolled on the dirt to a stop.

Aldritch who had used his body transformation skill reverted his fingers back to normal, staring at the husk under him. 'So much power…' He thought to himself. He couldn't help but think of how poorly his opponent fought, it didn't make a lot of sense. For someone with such a powerful physique, his opponent barely made any proper attacks, and only relied on magic and spells that were quite easy to get around, especially after learning their effects.

"Maybe now I will be able to leave this place." He said to himself, turning towards the side where he was sure to encounter the barrier if it was still erect.

(A/N: For Aldritch's body transformation on his fingers to make them claws, he doesn't make some werewolf looking claws. If you've watched Hunter x Hunter, think of them as Killua's claws when he uses his body transformation technique. If you haven't watched Hunter x Henter, you can search it up if you'd like to know)

…

While Naiha and Veronica were stuck figuring out a way to fix the husk, Helga was elsewhere. Since they originally were not within the barrier, they could move outside of it freely.

At the moment, she was back at their base, going through several things in a hurry, packing different tools and materials into a leather bag while murmuring to herself the list of things she needed.

"Where is that cingulum? Where is- the main chamber…" she murmured to herself, hurrying through different rooms and stairs.

Once everything was in her possession, she hurried out of the hideout to meet the others so they could begin the ritual proceedings.
