Vampire Summoner's Rebirth: Summoning The Vampire Queen At The Start

Chapter 864 The Legacy Of The Summoners

-----

"So the only Summoner before me was Allen?" I asked.

"Well…"

The Divinity Manifestation suddenly glanced behind her.

"How about you accompany me? I will show you the truth as we move through this Ancient Spiritual Treasure, which has manifested here as part of their Legacy."

"…Very well."

I followed her as she flew forwards, the white halls were finely decorated with many statues, they resembled all the Summons I possessed.

Aside from that, at the end of the hall, there was a golden throne, and surrounding it there were three other statues.

The largest was of a young-looking man with eyes filled with conviction, standing proudly behind the throne while holding a huge staff.

However, there were two other statues…

The one at the left showed a cheerful-looking young woman, with short, bobby-styled hair, a witch hat, a dress, and holding a scepter.

And to the right, a gloomy-looking man seemed fixated on the ground, holding with his hands a pair of knives, shadows surging from within his surroundings.

All three statues looked very different, but they irradiated a powerful Aura.

"Just as I imagined." I said. "Allen wasn't the only Summoner in history, wasn't he?"

"Indeed." The Spiritual Divinity of Summoning nodded. "He was the second, in fact… Yet he was the one that has shone the brightest among all three of them. And the only one that was widely known."

"Who are the other two?" I asked her.

She moved towards the gloomy-looking man, pointing at him. He was slender and quite tall, wearing blue jeans and a white shirt, with a black hoodie.

Those clothes didn't look like the ones from this world at all…

"This is the first True Summoner, a man that came from another world." She said. "His name is Hyung Sang Woo, said to have come from a world named "Earth". He was transmigrated to our world only one thousand years ago before Hero Allen was born."

"Hmmm… I have heard rumors in my past life about a planet known as "Earth" that was destroyed long ago, the surviving humans escaped into the farther places of the universe, spreading into colonies. This is why you always find humans everywhere." I said. "I suppose his home world no longer exists."

"Perhaps, it was a long time ago." Nodded the Divinity. "He was a very lonely man. He created his own path, the path of the Shadow Summons. The Summoning Talent was granted to him by the Holy Spirits because, when they created the Talent, it was so powerful its abilities manifested, summoning someone from a faraway world compatible with it."

"I can already tell he wasn't happy about that." I laughed.

"Although he seemed angered, he later on learned to enjoy his life in this world, despite the constant wars against the demons." She said. "I believe he found peace in this world, because he always told me how miserable his life was back on Earth. Although he didn't become as famous as Allen because he disliked to stand out, he was the reason why the humans were able to hold on against the demons since their invasion."

"What were his abilities?" I wondered.

"He might have similar powers to you." She giggled. "As the first "beta tester" of the Summoning Legacy, he was given a lot of freedom, and manifested his Summoning powers through his affinity with Shadows and Darkness. He was able to rise new Familiars with the foes he defeated by extracting their Shadows. He was known as the mysterious Shadow Hunter, a feared being of that time, that sadly didn't pass on history."

"Did he have a peaceful life?" I wondered, feeling slightly worried of those times, which were worse than the ones from now on.

"He had a wife and a son but died on the last decisive battle against the demon invasion. His sacrifice became the pillar for humanity's survival, as he managed to destroy the Hell Gate, where the Demons were coming from." Said the Divinity. "However, because he disliked standing out and always hid himself, he was never remembered. A forgotten hero that saved humanity before even Hero Allen appeared. Only a few close friends and his family knew of his great sacrifice and amazing strength."

"That's rather sad… So Allen just got all the attention, huh?" I sighed.

"Fufu, well, he was never into it either, it just happened." Laughed the Divinity. "Your powers are similar to the ones Allen manifested. He said he was a reincarnated man from Earth too, unlike Hyung, he was reincarnated into this world, not summoned."

"Another man from Earth?" I was shocked. "Huh, that planet's really a source of summoned souls."

"It just happened by accident, but it is thought that souls from other worlds have a greater affinity with the Legacy of the Summoner than those that were born in this world." Said the Divinity. "Now, the third Summoner, who was born three thousand years after Allen's passing, Henrietta."

"This girl?" I pointed.

"Yes! She was a half-elf." Said the Divinity. "A very lovely girl that lived a long life. Her Summons were also special, manifesting in the form of spiritual creatures of the forest. She named the Harvest Summons. She was a genius Alchemist, Crafter, and loved research above all things. She used her Summoning powers to help her little town flourish and discovered the way to imbue Elemental Power into her Familiars, and also how to combine them."

"It feels like she had a rather relaxing life…" I wondered.

"Kind of, however, back then there were still many problems. She was one of the few pivotal heroes that helped humanity get back on track after the Demons were sealed back to the towers." Said the Divinity. "Many of the abilities you have, including the Familiar Egg, are all her creations."

"So I've already inherited part of her legacy too, huh?" I wondered. "Amazing, despite not standing out as much as Hyung and Allen, she did help the Summoners Legacy advance a lot."

"That's right." The Divinity nodded. "And you too, are slowly contributing to this Legacy as well, these new Skills you acquired have never appeared before. The legacy grows stronger with each advancement, and now, it is time for you to get more of their power."
