BXBX NOVEL Chapter 143 - A New Manor
-----
The sun raised over the horizon of the next day, as Noah woke up over his bed, with Iris sleeping at his side.
After having taken over the Crystal Knights Guild and converted Granite and Amber into Wights, he quickly moved back to Arthur\'s territory.
Although it was a big victory, the entire manor was destroyed due to the intense fight, so Noah and the rest moved inside of Arthur\'s parent\'s manor for the moment.
Arthur\'s parents were already within their rooms and passed most of the night within the underground areas of the territory that connected both manors together.
Due to this, they did not saw the whole fight, and this morning they had most likely moved back to their rooms now.
Noah recalled the things that he went through and the decisions he took, wondering if what he did was the right thing.
Perhaps he should have killed Amber…
Well, now she was brainwashed and a Wight, so she had become a useful asset which he would most likely add to his party or sent to independently conquer other Dungeons and bring the Cores.
However, it was said that B-Rank Dungeons were incredibly hard, so Noah thought that it would be quite hard for her to complete a B-Rank Dungeon by herself, so he would most likely go with the entire party.
Alongside this, killing Ruby, Sapphire, and Agate did not bring any Experience Points or something, as Noah did not have some cheat leveling System, but he did get Ability Cores from these three, and also a bunch from the 20 D-Rank Hunters slaughtered by the Robots and Blood Servants.
Alongside this, their equipment, and Dimensional Storage Rings filled with potions and other interesting items all became the "loot", so it was not half-bad.
And lastly, Noah was raised into Blood Servants all these 20 D-Rank Hunters, alongside Ruby, Sapphire, and Agate, increasing his army by a dozen or more!
He had never raised C-Rank Hunters before, so these ones were particularly strong.
All of them were Elite Knight Rank, similar to Pride, and Noah ended up giving them the same names they had previously, which worked nice.
Alongside that, they seemed to retain their former memories but couldn\'t really speak or anything like Pride, so Pride seemed like a special case.
They still could use their former Abilities, however, although they were weakened and they would need to practice them for a while to get them to the level they used to be, for now, Noah assigned them as commanders of his Blood Servant Troops.
Alongside this, the other Blood Servants also became stronger, Blade, Lance, and Brain all became Elite Knights too, and the rest of the weak Hunter Blood Servants became Knight Rank.
Due to this, they all have become stronger, and their appearances changed slightly.
Blade and Lance resembled fearful crimson knights wearing giant blood weapons. Theia rumors were made of materialized blood, but they resembled hard and shiny steel.
Meanwhile, Brain simply became creepier.
Now, Noah still had many plans to do now.
He wanted to first… reconstruct his Manor.
Even stronger though.
And perhaps alive.
Yes, he was planning big things now.
With the use of his blood and his very soul, he had thought about the possibility of merging some Blood Servants together and then make them "possess" the remains of the manor, reconstructing it slowly and then making something similar to a Ghost Manor!
But instead of ghosts, they were blood servants.
So Blood Manor?
Noah then realized that such an idea seemed amazing.
Even more, if he infused some of his very soul into it, and perhaps a lot of magic materials harvested from dungeons into the mix…
Aside from the Blood Servants getting stronger, the robots also did.
Although they do not have a Rank to determine their strength such as Blood Servants, Noah knew that all three of them, Noire, Sakura, and Sugar had at least reached high C-Rank or even B-Rank in strength.
The way they grew stronger was by absorbing some of the many magic materials harvested in the dungeons they went to, but it seems that they need higher Ranked ones if they want to get any stronger.
However, Noire had now become quite the good user of Shadows, to the point that she is teaching Adamantine about it, as Adamantine is more beastly and lacks the finesse that Noire possesses.
Noah seemed quite proud of his subordinates, as all of them had their own amazing strengths.
Seeing how the sun was already illuminating the room through the window, Noah decided to wake up and quickly move towards the garden, seeing the entire manor destroyed made him feel quite frustrated, but yesterday\'s victory needed some sacrifices, sadly…
"I should use around… twenty should be enough," thought Noah, as he took off a variety of the weaker Blood Servants he had, some Elite Grade and Knight Grade Fire Wyrms, alongside a few of his former classmates which he had not named and did not cared about.
All of them obeyed his commands without any problem, fusing each other into a mass of blood and moving like a river of blood by his commands.
If Blood Servants were somewhat like souls and blood, couldn\'t he control them to create other types of the undead?
Noah had thought about making a Ghost Manor with the remains of the former manor through this method, and he was about to see if it could be possible or not!
"Expand… and take over the remains…" said Noah, as he began to throw magic crystals towards his Blood Servants, which they could use as sources of mana and magic mass.
The mass of blood showed many arms, legs, torsos, heads, and jaws, mutating constantly, as it hovered over the remains and began to expand itself, releasing dozens after dozens of tentacles, grabbing the remains of the manor, all of the ruins, and then beginning to expand more.
As if it were a horror movie, the mass of blood quickly started to expand monstrously, taking over the remains and shaping them.
Using Noah\'s commands, the whole thing began to take form after a few minutes, slowly yet steadily, an aura of crimson red phantom began to emerge out of it.
To support their construction, Noah conjured Crimson Aegis to work as supporting barriers, alongside this, he produced elemental blood gems to add to the mix, refurbishing the entire thing into something completely new.
As the minutes went by, some of the robots and servants began to peek at what was happening, and soon enough, Arthur and Timassa, usually the first ones to wake up each morning ran towards Noah, glancing at the creation he was making.
"N-Noah… W-What are you doing now?" asked Arthur.
"This… Master, are you using blood to construct something?" asked Timassa.
"Isn\'t it obvious? I am remaking our manor! But bigger, stronger, bloodier, and alive!" laughed Noah like a complete madman, as he saw his creation quickly take life!
BOOM! BOOM!
Suddenly, enormous claws made of blood and materials emerged out of the entire manor, and its largest windows glowed with crimson red… the entire new building exuded an aura of death and blood…
"GRUUUUUUUOOOONNN…!"
A single roar shake the entire place, as the enormous being was finally made!
It was truly a fearful creature!
Noah smiled as he saw a few System notifications that surprised him.
Ding!
[You have fused several Blood Servants, many magic materials, and the remains of a manor into the Blood Servant Phantasmal Manor: General Rank!]
"General Rank! So I can create such monsters by fusing Blood Servants? Heh…" laughed Noah feeling filled with determination to build an unstoppable army and take over the world ruthlessly.
"I call it the Blood Manor, our new home! It is alive, so we should give it a name," said Noah.
"A name…? To a manor?!" asked Arthur.
"This… I have seen Noah-sama do many outstanding things, but I have never imagined in my entire life that he would be able to do such a thing as this… this… just completely blows my mind…" said Timassa.
"Let\'s give "her" something simple… The name of a beautiful woman, just as beautiful as this creation is… Scarlet should do," said Noah, as the Blood Progenitor was just as impacted as him.
"This… type of power… I was never capable of doing such a thing! And this type of power is very similar to the Necromancy that the Nosfernus Vampire Family had!" said the Blood Progenitor in awe.
"Oh? Nosfernus? Care to say a bit more about such families?" asked Noah.
"Ugh… Fine," sighed the Blood Progenitor, who had begun to become more obedient.
