I Was a Loner, but My Class Got Summoned to Another World…

Within another area of the same labyrinth, Lisa was with Alma and Serana, busy looking for the entrance to the next floor. The three were quiet at the start. Alma even felt like crying, overwhelmed by the tension radiating from the other two members of the party.

The only ones that didn't mind what was happening were the three shadow creatures that kept advancing, seemingly indifferent to the atmosphere created by the imaginary battle between light and darkness happening behind them.

"So… about that demon… how did you get it?" Alma tried to change the flow by asking about the red demon that seemed to be the weakest of Serana's shadows.

"That one… I named him Umbral…" Serana began checking her own status to see what she could use later on.

Blood Shadow Siphon: The caster channels darkness into their blood, creating tendrils that drain life force from enemies. This ability not only weakens opponents but also replenishes the caster's health and mana.

Shadow Blood Blade: The caster forges a weapon out of their own blood, infused with dark energy. This blade can cut through most materials and leaves a lingering shadowy aura that weakens the target's defense over time.

Hemomantic Veil: By merging shadows with their own blood, the caster can create a protective veil around them. This veil absorbs incoming damage and converts mana absorbed into health regeneration for the caster.

Crimson Eclipse: The caster summons a dark eclipse that blocks out light and creates an area of darkness. Within this area, the caster's blood-based abilities are enhanced, and enemies are gradually drained of their health.

Bloodshadow Phantasm: The caster creates a shadowy clone of themselves. This phantasm can attack enemies, causing confusion and fear with their attacks, while also having the ability to drain health and transfer it back to the caster.

Dark Blood Pact: The caster forms a pact with the shadows giving a little of their own blood, temporarily increasing a shadows physical and magical abilities. However, this power boost comes at the cost of steadily draining their health over time, must be used on Bloodshadow Phantasm.

"Sounds like an ominous name. He does look strong, though," Alma said, standing between Serana and Lisa.

"Now stop fighting. Let's go. We have a lot to do, and we are probably the strongest of the three groups so we should be the ones progressing faster." Alma pulled both girls forward by the hand.

Lisa sighed before using her light to illuminate a path forward. The shadow monsters did not like it, but they understood humans needed to see to move forward.

Serana, on the other hand, decided to have her minion speed forward. They were unlikely to encounter trouble on the first floor and would be more helpful moving independently. Soon, only the three remained together, walking while following Lisa's light. Each step echoed in the silence between them.

"Say, Serana, how about you tell us your story? I am sure you are a demon of some sort. I want to know why you're with Logan," Alma asked, hoping to fill the silence with Serana's voice.

"I will only if Lisa tells me what she feels for Master Logan…" Serana said in a cold voice.

Alma wanted to facepalm. With the shadow monsters gone, there was nothing keeping Serana from thinking about her own feelings of jealousy.

"Now, now, let's first hear your story…" Alma kept trying to mediate the situation before the two girls fought.

"Well… I was a mindless beast before meeting Master Logan… He helped me regain myself even if he… had to kill my parents. After that, it was just me finding myself in the laboratory… we were created by demons, experimenting on humans to turn into vampires… and to create special mana crystals. You see… demons and a few life forms can use other elements not found within the seven normal ones," Serana began to explain.

"We were experimented on to find how to make those other elemental stones, to be able to power up the mana of those other unknown elements," Serana said with anger in her voice.

"So… you were created as a vampire?" Alma asked, trying to keep the uncomfortable conversation going.

"Yes, I don't have my human memories at least. My first real memory was seeing Master Logan." Serana nodded as the two girls looked at her with pity.

"Are you angry with Logan for having killed your parents?" Lisa asked, having calmed down from her previous way of treating the tragic girl.

"No… they were mindless, in a feral state that couldn't be regressed, unlike me…" Serana said as silence returned to the three.

"Sounds sad, Serana. We will do what we can to let you see and have a better future at least. You deserve it," Alma said gently, patting the vampire's shoulder.

"Yeah, you should find happiness now that you are able to," Lisa also joined in, patting the girl's shoulder.

"So tell me, what should we do about Rubina? So far, she has been with Logan the most. We need to stop her from getting closer to Logan, don't we?" Lisa said, directing her question towards Serana, who gave it some thought.

"True, Miss Rubina is closer to Logan than I am… we need to work together to fight her," Serana said with a little innocence in her voice while nodding.

"Good, let's get this labyrinth trip going then, kid," Lisa said with a bit of warmth in her voice.

Alma stared at the two with confusion, she didn't know why Lisa had changed her way of treating the girl.

"Say, what happened?" she whispered near her ear. Find your next read at My Virtual Library Empire

"Nothing, it's just that I don't think competing with a kid is the right thing. Rubina, though… she is the real problem." Lisa winked.
