The First Vassals

Lilith stopped, not because she saw dogs and found them fluffy and cute, captivating her.

It was because she suddenly realized that some experiments should probably begin.

With a wave of her hand, countless bats were at the Vampire's command, and within the shadows, countless beastly figures transformed into its power.

Vassal Beasts unleashed could destroy heavens and earth!

Of course, that level was a bit too much for Lilith, and the existence of those Vassal Beasts in her memory required magic.

As for magic, to be honest, Lilith didn't feel any magic within her body.

Did she have to cultivate it herself?

Besides Vassal Beasts, there were also Blood Descendants.

Lilith had no intention of creating Blood Descendants; she felt that being the only Vampire in this world was enough.

Moreover, there was no one worthy of her converting into a Vampire.

However, she felt it was worth trying to convert Vassals using her own blood, though not through the so-called First Embrace.

After all, she had a dragon "free-ranging" outside!

If that dragon were to revive, it could fly, run, and go into the sea—an excellent mount.

And as a Super Dangerous Species, its combat power was not to be underestimated; she wouldn't let such a good mount go.

Controlling the Tyrant through her own blood was undoubtedly a good method for her as a Vampire.

But she hadn't tried it before, and seeing these dogs in the cage, Lilith suddenly had a whim to buy them.

In the end, Lilith bought all five of these dogs.

Lilith walked down the street, leading the five dogs.

Even though it was evening and the pedestrians on the street were gradually decreasing, a figure as petite as her leading five large dogs undoubtedly attracted many backward glances.

Furthermore, these five large dogs obediently allowed that person to lead them, showing no intention of breaking free from the leashes.

However, they didn't think much of it, merely assuming she had trained the dogs to be very well-behaved.

In reality, after Lilith bought these dogs, they were not well-behaved and were even trying to escape.

It was as if before them stood not a petite Maiden, but some monstrous beast.

Then Lilith leaked a trace of killing intent, and these dogs immediately tucked their tails and crouched before Lilith, not daring to move.

After these dogs were brought back by Lilith, the servants in Lilith's house were very confused.

But as servants, they had no right to question their master's decisions.

Besides, they were just a few dogs; what noble family didn't keep a few pets?

They heard that General Esdeath even kept a Class S Super Dangerous Species dragon!

After Lilith led the five dogs into the house, she closed the door and forbade anyone from approaching.

The servants naturally did not dare to disobey Lilith's strange orders; they didn't even dare to speculate.

Although Lilith was a very kind mistress, they had heard too many stories of noble cruelty. Because of this, they cherished the opportunity to serve Lilith and dared not make any mistakes, fearing they would be kicked out.

Inside the room, the five large dogs sat on the floor.

Even though Lilith had tossed the leashes aside, these dogs did not dare to run around randomly, remaining motionless.

Lilith poured a bowl of water, then cut her fingertip with her nail. A drop of crimson blood flowed out, and her fingertip healed instantly, showing no signs of injury.

With Lilith's self-healing ability, if she hadn't deliberately controlled it, the drop of blood wouldn't even have had a chance to flow out before the wound healed.

After the blood dripped into the water, under Lilith's control, the blood dispersed throughout the entire bowl of water.

Lilith controlled the blood-red water, raised her hand, and five drops of blood flew out of the bowl, then into the five large dogs.

"Wooooo..."

After the blood drops entered their bodies, the five large dogs belatedly let out screams of pain.

But before they could even let out a few yelps, all five dogs fainted.

Looking at the large dogs lying on the ground, Lilith could sense that their insides were being modified by her blood!

The minuscule amount of blood within the blood drops, upon entering their bodies, flowed through their veins into their hearts. With each beat of their hearts, the dogs' original blood was modified by Lilith's blood.

When Lilith's blood was completely flushed out by the dogs' blood, the modification process ended.

But for these dogs, the true transformation had just begun.

Through their blood, although their appearances did not change, their life levels had transformed.

They were evolving!

Their fur became shinier, and their bodies became larger.

When the changes ended, the five dogs awoke.

When they stood up, Lilith found that these dogs were as tall as a person, and their bodies were nearly three meters long. This was so large that, let alone calling them dogs, people would believe they were horses.

"Woof woof~~"

The dogs, after waking up, wagged their tails and barked joyfully.

They stuck out their tongues, appearing extremely happy in front of Lilith.

However, they dared not approach Lilith, or rather, they wouldn't approach Lilith without her command.

Lilith could feel a "thread" connecting her to them.

Through this "thread," Lilith could clearly perceive the mood and condition of these dogs. She could even read their minds through the "thread"!

Lilith could also sense their location through this "thread," and even control the life and death of these dogs!

It seemed these dogs couldn't sense Lilith's mood through this "thread."

They could sense Lilith's location, but Lilith could unilaterally sever this connection, making them unable to perceive anything.

It could be said to be quite overbearing!

"Does a Vampire's control over its Vassals feel absolute...?"

Lilith had her suspicions about these matters, but she hadn't expected her control over her subordinates to be much higher than she had imagined!

As the dogs grew larger, the room became a bit cramped.

One dog even knocked over tables and chairs while growing.

At that moment, the dog looked bewildered and helpless, then picked up the table and chairs, trying to pretend nothing had happened.

Lilith didn't pay attention to the furniture and stepped forward to pet the dogs, who had now become her Vassals.

It was then that Lilith discovered that beneath their thick fur were powerful muscles.

It wasn't hard to imagine that these dogs possessed immense strength.

Their teeth and claws had also become longer and sharper.

As for further changes, they couldn't be seen from the outside.

Lilith decided to have them test their combat power outside the city.
