Epic of Vampire Dragon: Reborn As A Vampire Dragon With a System

Chapter 219 - The Weeping Angel



-----

Aruliel came to the realization she had a crimson-red eye, and it made her even more depressed… However, Chaos felt like it was enough of her weeping, it was time for her to reform herself and try to live happily as she was.

"Aruliel, you should stop crying so much, you won\'t resolve anything with it." he said.

"B-But Chaos-sama…" she cried.

"You have to get over it. Our past is always painful, but there\'s now a whole life we must live and enjoy. Try to accept what you are now and embrace this new life of yours with everything you got… instead of concentrating in the bad aspects of it or in the dark past you had, try to think about the bright side of things, and in the future you might now have. There\'s always a better side to all things, it is just up to us to find it…" said Chaos, a gentle smile emerged on his face, his charm easily affected Aruliel, but his words were also deep yet simple, and held a strong meaning to them.

"I-Is that so? But there\'s nothing bright about life…" she sighed.

"Well then, it was the same for all of us, we just had to find that bright part again." Said Abyss, as she hugged Chaos.

"Oohh… A bright side, we have to find it?" she asked.

"Indeed, you must try to find a meaning to your new life, what you strive for, what your hopes are for, and what you\'re working hard to achieve." Said Belphegor.

"Thank you, giant skull-san…" said Aruliel.

"Who are you calling giant skull-san?! My name is Belphegor!" sighed Belphegor.

"I-Isn\'t that a demon\'s name? I can\'t say demon names, that\'s a taboo!" said Aruliel.

"You\'re a Fallen Angel now so don\'t worry about taboos." Said Erebus.

"Ooh, you\'re right, living dungeon-san!" said Aruliel.

"…Papa named me Erebus, please use that name, if possible…" sighed Erebus.

"Sorry, Erebus…" cried Aruliel.

"Stop crying…" sighed Erebus.

"You\'re a crybaby! Haha…!" laughed Rot, pointing her claws at her. She then began floating around Aruliel.

"Uwahh…! S-Stop calling me a crybaby!" she cried louder this time.

"Rot, cut it out…" sighed Chaos.

"Ah! S-Sorry…" sighed Rot.

The group quickly flew outside the pit and then flew across the skies of the continent, Aruliel finally got to see the outside world in more detail, it all looked gloomy compared to her original world, Heaven, but it was still something different from sleeping in the darkness for so long, and the breeze, although cold, was very refreshing too.

"Uwah, this breeze is refreshing… I guess this isn\'t so bad…" she said.

Chaos tried to see the true strength of Aruliel through Appraisal, but he got no results.

Ding!

[Unable to Appraise target]

[Target has not been registered in the Universal Origin System]

"Huh?"

It seemed as if she was outside the system itself. Apparently, Angels were beings that were above this new Universal Origin System. Perhaps her existence before the system made it so she wasn\'t affected by it… Chaos knew from the memories of the Demigods he fought that they all abused the system to grow stronger, but that they also knew of older gods and the Supreme Deity of Brightness that was also not part of the System.

It seemed that unless they embraced it willingly or were born when it was created, people wouldn\'t have the System and therefore, Appraisal had no power in helping Chaos discern Aruliel\'s Existence Level.

"Aruliel, you\'re not part of the System?" asked Chaos.

"Hm? System? What\'s that?" asked Aruliel.

"The Universal Origin System… You don\'t know about it?" asked Abyss.

"Eh? The what?" asked Aruliel while rubbing her chin and raising an eyebrow.

"She really doesn\'t know what it is…" said Erebus.

"Well, this is a System that has been in place for as long as I remember, everyone has it, I don\'t know how you cannot have it… My lord, how could you tell?" asked Belphegor.

"I used Appraisal on her, and I got no results. I\'ve been even able to appraise Demigods without problems, but she doesn\'t seem to have a Status at all… She\'s not part of the System." Said Chaos.

"How strange! An existence outside the System? This is a first for me…" said Belphegor.

"Huh? I still don\'t get what\'s the system…" said Aruliel.

"It\'s a special power, something game-like that shows everyone\'s status and total power through skills listed and also status in numerical order, even our cultivation, name, and other things is shown, but you don\'t have it." said Chaos.

"Huh… Universal Origin Records is the name? I don\'t remember it when I was alive… This system might be new then! I am around a billion years old… Erm, and I\'ve been sleeping for roughly five million… so five million years ago, the system didn\'t exist!" said Aruliel.

"How come you\'re so old yet so childish?" sighed everyone.

"EH?! T-That\'s rude! Being old doesn\'t mean being a gloomy person! I-I am not childish, I simply have strong emotions… I remember that they called me a failed angel, sometimes calling me "Aruliel, the Weeping Angel"… Maybe I am a crybaby because I was made with a mistake in my body and soul…! It doesn\'t mean I am childish!" she cried.

"The Weeping Angel… that fits." Said Abyss.

"Uweeh?! Don\'t say that, Shoggoth-san- Uwah! I just realized you\'re an outer god spawn, aren\'t you?!" asked Aruliel.

"A what?" asked Abyss.

"She might be a descendant, but she doesn\'t have anything to do with them, don\'t worry." Said Chaos.

"O-Oh… Okay…" sighed Aruliel, having panicked for nothing.

"But now that things are as they are, we should go back to my divine realm and take a small break. We have explored the entire planet by now, so the next course of action is… leaving it." said Chaos.

"We are going to space?" asked Erebus.

"Yeah, most likely sooner than we think… We\'ll probably land in whatever planet we find in our way to the Star of Orion where the Supreme Deity of Brightness is…" said Chaos.
