GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 987 Pros And Cons Of Vampirism.

Ragnarok's body and soul are currently separated. He refused to fuse them so that he wouldn't become a vampire. His active rejection during the process of breakthrough led to his body and soul further separating. He is dying because his body lost the support of his soul.

So the demon god decided to grant his body another support so that he would continue to live. But the heart of Carnage comes with more perks than an infinite supply of the power of blood and blood energy. The heart of Carnage is like the chaos spark. It comes with the power of evolution capable of creating an entirely new race as long as there is compatibility. Ragnarok's body is compatible so he began to evolve.

First, he became a giant round blob of red flesh. The flesh began to shape itself according to the blueprint present within his divine ability. A red skeletal skull came first. It grew out from the blob of flesh. The skull became covered by skin and flesh. Horns came next. Four great red horns sprouted from the horn. Then limbs came next. They popped out from the blood as bony limbs at first before being covered with flesh.

A strange Warrog beast was born from the blob of flesh. It was hideous at first because of the lack of skin. Muscles and blood vessels are in full view of the world. The flow of blood through them can be observed too. It matches the very audible sound of the heart beating within the ribs of the creature.

The creature remained hideous as it expanded further. Its body grew at different rates so some parts expanded faster than others. It led to a fracturing of bones and the tearing of muscles. Blood leaked everywhere. It doesn't help that there are no eyes present within the skull of the creature. There are 6 empty eye sockets with crying tears of blood.

The creature finally entered into the last phase of changes after growing to become 50 meters long. Eight large jagged and curved fangs grew out of the jaws of the creature. All the teeth in the jaws are sharp canines and are black but these eight are special. They don't have the smooth shape of the other teeth. They are rough and look like makeshift blades carved from rocks.

The tails were the last to grow. They popped out from the rump of the creature one after the other. They didn't stop popping out until there were 9 of them. Then fur covered the thin tails and the entire body. The large creature with black fur and red stripes finally stopped growing or changing.

"That troublesome Xigger," CARNAGE complained. "He has created a problem for me even in death."

It has done everything to make Ragnarok live but Ragnarok is still refusing to become a Vampire and he has also refused to accept his body. If Xigger hadn't made the Oath to protect his loved ones, CARNAGE would be free to do anything with Ragnarok right now. But it can't be violent. It has to persuade the stubborn champion that would rather die than become a vampire.

"I know you can hear me." It said to Ragnarok.

Ragnarok didn't say anything.

"You want to die but you can't die yet. Not with my heart of Carnage in your body. Even death cannot save you. CARNAGE will not be denied its prize in death. Your whole existence is mine from now on in life and death." contemporary romance

Ragnarok still didn't say anything. But CARNAGE didn't give up.

"It is in your best interest to run now. Wood elves are coming and they don't like Vampires. Imagine everlasting servitude to me even in death. If you think being alive is bad, being dead will be much worse."

The beast stood up. It wobbled a bit and its paws struggled to find purchase on the slippery ice. Then black claws appeared on the paws and grabbed the ice so the beast was finally able to stand. It chose a direction and began moving. It was slow at first but it soon picked up speed.

Malekit watched the creature run away with envy.

He grumbled to himself, "Good things should not be given to uncivilized mutts."

Of course, he made sure to keep this thought to himself. He doesn't dare to disobey his primogenitor much less the Supreme of Carnage. He may be dead, but there are worse things than death. Just the thought of those things made him shiver.

Then he shook his head and stood up.

"Let's go now. We have our orders. We are to create a trail to distract the wood elves." He said to his subordinates.

The group of Vampires ran together in another direction. The wood elves that were pursuing Xigger are about to reach them and the demon god doesn't want Ragnarok to be captured so it had the Vampires distract them. The sun is also about to come up so they have to hide underground somewhere.

Vampires are not active during the day. It is a serious weakness they have. It is not the light of the sun that weakens them. The light doesn't need to touch them for it to be their weakness. This weakness just like their strength comes from their supreme ancestor. The demon god becomes weaker when the sun rises above the plane.

Blocking all that light and heat is a serious matter. Light and heat speed up the rate of reaction. The demon god of Carnage is an energy being in a state of stasis between life and death. Light and heat try to remove it from its stasis. It causes the demon god to redirect some of its power to keep itself together. That diverts the power of the blood that flows to the vampires and weakens them.

So sunlight indirectly weakens vampires. It causes vampires to sleep. Stronger vampires with a larger supply of the power of blood sleep less but all vampires become weakened during the day, even ancestral vampires. Of course, direct sunlight will fry vampires and turn them into dust.
