Reincarnated into a New World As a Vampire

Chapter 135: Departure & Arrival

[Your body is now evolved further and your potential deepened. You will now find ease in growing stronger physically, and your body is also a better container and conduit for spirit energy. Thirst and need for blood has been eliminated. You can live for at least ten years without sustenance]

[Your senses have been greatly increased]

"Nice."

Everything looked good, and more than anything, Aldritch was very satisfied.

While he went through the system, Misa picked out the clothes she had prepared for Aldritch and assisted him in dressing up.

Once she was done, Aldritch turned to her, 'I haven't tasted her in a long time…' he thought to himself. For some reason, Misa looked even juicier after all this time.

"How long has it been?" He asked.

"It has been one month, Lord."

"Hmm…" He expected as much, given the time it took for his evolution. Then again, this meant that their remaining one month was up, or at least, only a few days were left at best.

"Go get me Lada and Ingrid."

"As you wish, Lord." Misa said before exiting the room.

Aldritch's plan was simple, with enough BP, he could evolve his entire vampire family of over 5,000 without stress. Of course, there was no way to jump evolution stages, so he could only evolve everyone once, as they would still need time to stabilize their strength after each evolution, if not, he would have gone for an even higher rank than Vampire Lord.

Just as he planned, he evolved every vampire under him, a process that ate away another two weeks of their time. During this process, only Olgud and the witches re left conscious. Those who came back faster, who were of lower ranks, joined them, and together they waited for those of higher ranks who took longer.

…

Once everything was done, all those with ranks of elders had become Vampire Nobles, alongside a few others like Maggie and Misa.

The lowest evolutionary rank within Aldritch's family was now those that were Blooded vampires.

Since Sigmund had already completed the portal preparations before undergoing evolution, it took just two days for everything to be prepared for launch. The entire platform was transported outside to accommodate the size of the entire family, and every other thing that they may need was prepared.

In a large clearing, the portal circle gleamed with intricate runes, pulsing faintly with power. Blood-red crystals, etched with otherworldly sigils, marked the cardinal points of the intricate circle.

Sigmund stood at the edge of the circle, his hands hovering over a control panel of runes. "Everything is ready, Lord," he said. "The portal will stabilize for exactly twenty minutes—long enough for us all to pass through." Aldritch had already transferred an adequate amount of blood to him that would function for the portal to keep it open for longer up to the twenty minutes.

Aldritch forward unto a makeshift platform, his presence commanding the attention of everyone. His crimson eyes swept over his subordinates and the loyal vampires gathered around them.

"We leave this world not as mere victors, but as conquerors," Aldritch said, his voice ringing through the chamber. "In the higher world, we will carve out our place! Those who stand against us will fall! And those who join us will rise!"

A thundering cry of agreement rippled through the crowd, filling the air all around.

'Hah… I've always wanted to give such a speech…' Aldritch thought to himself, smiling internally.

Aldritch gestured to Sigmund, and the scientists activated the ritual. The runes flared to life, bathing the space around in an eerie blue and black glow. A vortex of energy began to form above the circle, spinning faster and faster until it solidified into a shimmering portal big enough to accommodate a few mammoths.

One by one, Aldritch's subordinates entered the portal. Lina went first, her tall frame brimming with anticipation as she stepped into the swirling energy. Olgud followed, his bulky form disappearing into the light. Ingrid hesitated for only a moment before stepping through alongside Ralwa, her expression unreadable. Rindher was more than happy to be returning to the higher world, so was Ames.

As the last of his subordinates crossed, Aldritch lingered for a moment at the edge of the portal, his gaze sweeping over the lair one final time. The home he had built in the lower world had served its purpose, certainly.

With a faint smirk, Aldritch stepped into the portal, and the world dissolved around him.

They didn't care about leaving behind the formation for opening the portal. If anyone found out about it and studied it to come to the higher world, well, that was their fortune.

The transition was disorienting, a rush of light, sound, and overwhelming energy. When Aldritch emerged on the other side, he found himself standing on a mountain plateau, the air crisp and thin, but much richer than anything he had ever breathed. The higher world stretched out before him—a landscape of towering peaks and overbearing forests

His family was already regrouping nearby, their eyes scanning the unfamiliar surroundings. The air was thick with magic, its potency far greater than anything they had encountered in the lower world.

"This place..." Lina murmured, her voice tinged with awe. "It's... alive."

"Welcome to the world we live in. Amazing, isn't it?" Ralwa said with a smile on her face.

"Ahhh, at long last."

"Hmm, the restrictions are gone… feels good." Khal said, observing his surroundings with a sharp gaze. "And here they come."

A group of figures approached from the forest below. Without any explanation, it was clear that they were elves, clad in shimmering light armor of odd colours, their weapons glowing faintly as though imbued with enchantments. Their leader, a tall elf with silver hair and piercing green eyes, stepped forward, his expression wary.

"You are trespassers," he said, his voice cold and regal. "State your purpose, or leave this place."

'Elves?'
