Norton's ascension not only resulted in his own advancement, but also led to the evolution of New-Type Vampire and the evolution of Coal Ball.
The three generations of New-Type Vampire have collectively moved up First Stage.
Abraham and Elizabeth, the two First-Generation Vampire, underwent the most significant changes.
It seems that Abraham and Elizabeth, perhaps due to their different bloodlines or a problem with Norton's ideology, transformed into different Vampire Lord.
Abraham's transformation into the Vampire Lord is a typical example of Dracula's transformation in " Van Helsing," while Elizabeth transforms into the transformed forms of Dracula's brides. The only similarity is that they also failed to grow wings, seemingly stuck at the final stage.
While Elizabeth's transformations did not match the ferocious power of Abraham's Great King, they were more agile and faster.
It can only be said that Norton's ideas are too complicated.
Putting aside the fact that these two First-Generation Vampire can transform into battle forms similar to the Vampire Lord in Norton's memories, the changes in their humanoid appearance alone are enormous.
Their originally scarlet eyes and two sharp front teeth had disappeared. Apart from their still bloodless pale skin, their appearance was otherwise identical to that of humans. However, they could freely change their posture, allowing them to reveal a mouthful of sharp teeth when they opened their mouths.
This transformation allows the Vampire to better hide in human cities, and its increased physical strength and mobility after transformation give it the upper hand even when facing Holy Knight.
Outwardly indistinguishable from a human, but inwardly devoid of humanity, it is like a humanoid bat in human skin, its human form seemingly a means of disguise.
It can be said that with this advancement, these First-Generation Vampire have completely severed their ties with humans.
Compared to the First-Generation Vampire, the Second-Generation Vampire and Third-Generation Vampire only moved up one rank. The Second-Generation Vampire vampires retained the ancient appearance of the First-Generation Vampire, with scarlet eyes and two long, sharp incisors, and still had a human form. The Third-Generation Vampire retained the appearance of the Second-Generation Vampire, with scarlet eyes and two long, sharp incisors.
Therefore, even Third-Generation Vampire now possess the ability to reproduce, transforming into Fourth-Generation Vampire to expand the Blood Clan race.
The changes in Coal Ball and Prince Plum Blossom, however, were as inconspicuous as those in Norton's case.
Perhaps because these two species had already deviated from the category of bats and undergone a deeper mutation, Norton's advancement, apart from completing the final advancement of Gargoyle and gaining the ability to petrify, only resulted in an increase in their physical appearance compared to before, making them taller and more imposing.
Even so, Norton was already satisfied.
At the very least, he could be turned into a stone statue, which proves that certain strange methods can still be achieved through his thoughts.
As all the Blood Clan ascended to higher ranks, the bells of the Tower of Blood rang out.
"Thump... thump... thump..."
The top of the enormous tower, with its two hundred and thirty-plus floors, resounded with the sound of a bell being struck—the sound of the progenitor Norton summoning the Vampire.
As the bells rang, all the Blood Clan citizens in the entire Blood Clan Holy City immediately put down whatever they were doing and gathered at the foot of the Tower of Blood to listen to the teachings of the progenitor.
However, just as the bell rang and the attention of the Holy City's Blood Clan was drawn, a sudden gust of wind howled up beneath the Tower of Blood.
Under the terrified gazes of the Vampire, two terrifying bat-like creatures with wingspans of nine meters and heights of over three meters flew out from the bottom of the Tower of Blood Tower of Blood and soared towards its highest point.
" The Blood Clan Prince!"
"It is the True Ancestor! Kneel down immediately!"
Although the group of Vampire overseers were terrified, they recognized the two hideous monsters that resembled giant bats at a glance. They immediately knelt down and, at the same time, wielded their leather whips to lash the Vampire slaves who were unaware of their kneeling.
The Vampire kneeling on the ground formed a dark mass, and from the top of the tower, which was over two hundred meters high, one could clearly see their kneeling posture and demeanor.
Having just advanced and not yet having had time to rejoice, Abraham hurriedly followed Elizabeth, who also rushed out of the room. The two of them ran wildly up the stairs, even transforming into Vampire Lord to increase their tower-climbing speed.
"His Majesty Norton is really... why did he have to build such a tall tower? Going up and down is such torture!"
Abraham felt like he was sweating profusely from running, and although he was inwardly complaining, his face was full of anxiety.
But at the same time, seeing Elizabeth in front of him, who had also transformed into a strange appearance, startled him.
"So this strange evolution that suddenly occurred wasn't just me? I just heard a lot of Vampire screaming in pain outside. Are all Vampire undergoing this evolution like me?"
If that's the case, then something must have gone wrong with Old Norton... Could it be that because he evolved, he's causing us Vampire to evolve along with him?
While climbing the tower, Abraham could still think things through.
As he pondered, his heart grew increasingly still.
"If it really was this Old Norton's evolution that drove the evolution of us Vampire... that's utterly despairing."
Every move he makes has a corresponding effect on us. Doesn't this terrifying influence mean that any abnormality he exhibits is closely related to us? And if he were to accidentally die, wouldn't that also affect us, leading to our own demise?
Abraham was in a very bad mood, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he rushed upstairs with a look of urgency on his face.
Looking at Elizabeth in front of him, who was equally eager and even putting him further behind, his mood worsened.
"Decentralization, dictatorship... and even the cultivation of new confidants, Your Majesty, how unfathomable are you? If more people are decentralized in the future, how can I, Abraham, maintain my position?"
Norton's deep thoughts and extreme paranoia truly chilled Abraham to the bone.
The only people he truly trusts are probably his brood of brainless bats!
