Epic of Vampire Dragon: Reborn As A Vampire Dragon With a System

Chapter 279: Abyss & Nesephise

—–

After sleeping over the night, Abyss and company woke up with a lot more of energy. Although some of the members of the group had bodies that couldn’t be easily worn off, such as Abyss and Belphegor, they had a strong feeling of exhaustion in their minds and souls, so around 12 hours of sleep did wonders to their mental stability, which had been through a lot of stress in these last hours.

After waking up the task that had to be done was rather simple, they had to quickly get up and move on, Nesephise said that she was going to help and use her abilities for that purpose, however, she had yet to even awaken such an ability, and it would certainly take its time.

This is why she had woken up very early in the morning, and was currently in the nearby swamp, trying to sing and bring forth the power to communicate with amphibians.

According to the Elder, the priestess of ancient times had used this power to speak with the frog and let the child it swallowed go away, could this apply with her?

Nesephise was nervous, since her childhood that she had always been doing many things and working to both survive, thrive, and also protect those she wanted to protect.

“Sigh… La, la , laaa~”

She began to sing something minimal, as she infused her mana and the spiritual power of her frog spirit into her voice. Instead of sounding like an hideous frog croaking, she sounded like a delicate maiden.

A wave of green-colored essence came out of her voice, there was a small frog croaking near her, only looking at the air to pick up flies with its tongue. However, when it heard her voice and then the waves hit it, something changed.

It looked back at her.

“Croak…”

“Oh? Can you hear me?”

“Croak…”

She slowly approached the little frog, as she gentle extended her hand towards it…

“…”

“Jump!”

“Croak!”

SPLASH!

However, the frog simply went away and submerged into the water.

“Eh?”

She was disappointed, it seems nothing had actually happened… her song had not affected the frog nor it made it have some change of heart, the frog was simply at her direction because she was making sounds.

“Agh… Okay, let’s try again…” she sighed.

She began to sing once more, as Abyss had woken up already and had left everyone having breakfast in the house, walking around and looking for Nesephise.

“Oh! Nesephise, you’re here.” She said.

“A-Abyss! Sorry for not being there, I left the oldest children in charge of making breakfast for the rest… I’ve been like four hours trying to sing so I could control or speak with amphibians, but nothing seems to work.” Sighed Nesephise.

“Oh…” said Abyss.

“B-But I am trying! I really am doing my best…! I really want to be of use and to help you guys… I-I’ll keep trying until I can! I-I’ll do everything I can so I can finish today!” said Nesephise.

“Nesephise… Let me hear you sing. I am also a singer, although my voice is… quite hideous.” Said Abyss.

“You sing as well?” asked Nesephise while opening her eyes wide. She didn’t imagined a warrioress such as Abyss to do such feeble things.

“Haha… Well…” sighed Abyss.

“Let me hear you out then! Maybe I can get some inspiration from your voice! And I bet you’re not hideous at all! That’s just what you think.” Said Nesephise, while holding Abyss hands.

“Erm… Hahh… F-Fine…” Abyss sighed, as she looked into the water and opened her mouth.

“La~ La~ Laaa~”

FLASH!

Abyss voice suddenly became oddly loud, as if it was a massive microphone, the sound waves emanated from her voice turned into pure and obscure darkness, flowing everywhere into the swamp!

TRUUUUMMM!!!

“W-What the…?!” Nesephise was left shocked as she looked at Abyss sing to her heart’s content.

Her voice was so hideous that it made everywhere it reached tremble! The dirt cracked open, the water trembled, and even small fish began to pop up from the water, floating over the water… they were dead!

Bugs began to fall from the sky too, and even nearby frogs and salamanders died out of a stroke!

She was resisting thanks to her powerful spirit protecting her and also because Abyss didn’t targeted her but “everything else than her” making her less susceptible.

But even then… this was terrible.

“B-By the gods…” she sighed.

“Haha… Ugh, this is my voice! Chaos always says that my voice is very pretty… I know he only says it to make me feel better… He would never dare to make me feel bad being honest… He’s such a sweetheart… Uwah, I miss my Chaos…” cried Abyss.

“I-I see… Indeed, I would say that your voice is quite peculiar! But… have you tried not… sounding like that?” asked Nesephise.

“That’s not possible, my voice my default becomes like this. I think it is because of my race as a Shoggoth, I am part of an ancient race of beings created to become servants of “Outer Gods” or whatever… we are not made to sing.” Sighed Abyss.

“I-I see… How… did you came to be, Abyss?” wondered Nesephise.

“I… I was summoned by Chaos. In my previous life I had died as a laboratory’s guinea pig… When I died, I thought I was a goner, but a sweet voice whispered to me, and told me to take care of Chaos… After that, Chaos brought me back to life in another side of the Universe as a Shoggoth!” said Abyss.

“W-Wow… That’s amazing… So you were summoned… to think such powers exist… You’re very unique, Abyss… But I feel like you’re a sweet girl by yourself… even if your voice is quite peculiar, or if your race is not the most common there is…” said Nesephise with a gentle smile.

Abyss detected not really any fear in her words, she wasn’t praising her out of fear of being killed or because she was intimidated, Nesephise was just being friendly just because that was how she was…

“Nesephise… T-Thanks… You’re also a nice person!” said Abyss.

“Hehe… Now watch me sing for a bit, if you detect any note that might need to change, point it out, okay?” asked Nesephise.

“Sure!” said Abyss.
