Charles was a raging inferno of hate and boiling rage. Everyone lay on the field beaten beyond recognition. Most of them on death doors. "Mass Heal." Charles said as his Starlight shot out and healed all those laying on the ground.
"Are you some sort of god?" One of them asked as Charles turned his head showing his glare. He quickly put up his hands and slowly backed away.
"We have to get food." Charles said his voice was cold and bitter. The hunters scattered in every way. "Gabriel. Come with me." He said beckoning him to follow. "Do you wish to gain strength?" Charles said. Gabriel seemed confused at this notion.
"What do you mean?" Gabriel asked as he looked at Charles.
"Ichor." Charles said before he turned his back. Wait, he can't be serious. It mostly ends in the death of humans.
"What Ichor?" Gabriel asked. Looking even more confused at this.
"Also called Blood bath of the gods it is a ritual." Charles said. He really was not revealing too much about the ritual.
"Still does not explain what it is." Gabriel said with a frown.
"It causes a pool of Chaos Beast blood formed by countless Chaos Beast corpses being placed in a circle. Then you submerge your chosen target and it allows the target to gain the fallen Chaos Beast powers." Charles said. "The percent of people coming out alive is 5 percent. not that high." Charles lord it was closer to 50% and only about 60% of that 50% are kept there sanity.
"Interesting." Gabriel said with a frown. "Is there a way to increase the percentage?" Gabriel asked Charles to smile.
"Eating Chaos Beast over the course of seven days can cause the percent to go up to 85%." Charles said with a smile. He was prepping everyone for this ritual. But there are some impacting factors like the amount of Chaos Beast, the amount of blood absorbed. The strength of one Chaos Energy.
"So you're trying to make everyone stronger?" Gabriel asked as Charles shaked his head. But look back with a smile.
"No, only to the Tower of Chaos you and I will build it so no one has to suffer under the House of Evolution." Charles said, holding out his hand with a smile.
"Deal." Gabriel said, shaking Charles hand. This was the foundation of the Chaos Tower. Their goal is to burn down the House of Evolution. But then Gabriel looked confused. "What if they copy the Ichor ritual?" Gabriel said this as Charles started to laugh.
"They can't only do what I can do since it takes complex symbols and requires the Necronomicon because each different monster calls for different symbols to be used." Charles laughed if they messed up one symbol then it became a new Chaos Beast.
"Necromicon?" Gabriel asked, looking once again confused.
"A book that only I can read has over a thousand pages and they can transform into whatever the user wants to know." Charles explained with a sigh.
"That book sounds overpowered." Gabriel said with a laugh.
"It is but it can't do a few things like tell the future it must be knowledge someone else knew something in the past or present. But there is one thing that breaks this rule that is anything about magic." Charles explained.
"Have you heard of the three treasures of Hellsing?" Gabriel asked as it was three legendary items he owned. Necronomicon, Lux Lucifer his sword and Mask of Dragon. I only saw the Necronomicon; the other two were given two people. One of them was the Murat head as a favor because he bought the land of Murat. They now merely manage it. Hellsing owned 36% of all the land it managed by the Nobles they handled the day to day but it was overseen by the Commander of Squad Zero. Called the Amarok he is a lone hunter who last year killed three Marquis vampire nobles. He is akin to a ghost story. If Hellsing is the bogeyman of a vampire then he is a skinwalker.
"Somewhat." Charles said with a shrug. He was an idiot.
"Okay so we're going to use our base of operations?" Gabriel asked a good question. A few days after the manor was attacked he called in all his favours and begged for something.
"Don't worry about it." Charles said, waving his hand.
"What do you have the funds for a skyscraper?" Gabriel asked, looking shocked at the shrug Charles gave in response to his question.
"Okay, maybe the warehouse." I said putting my two cents in.
"They blew that up." Charles said with a frown we had a lot of weapons and goods in that warehouse.
"The safehouse." I stated before realizing why not.
"Full of rotting corpses." Charles said with a frown. Looks like I ran out of locations. We only really had those two.
"Wait what?" Gabriel asked, looking quite confused.
"They broke in." Charles said with a sigh. Now Gabriel looked less confused.
"Okay this has nothing to do with a dozen hunters that have gone missing." Gabriel said, looking into Charles' eyes.
"I plead the fifth." Charles said while looking at him and then away.
"America has been dead since the age of chaos started." Gabriel said, grabbing Charles' shirt. Charles' eyes glowed yellow.
"They broke in. I don't plan to elaborate. Do you want me to be your ally or enemy?" Charles questioned.
"My ally." Gabriel said with a small sigh. Looks like he is an ally to us.
"Okay." Charles said with a bright smile. He did a 180.
"So what is the first thing we need to do?" Gabriel asked. Charles started to think.
"It's the slow season so we need to do massive recruiting. Don't need to be picky but make sure they are at least somewhat useful." Charles said with a smile. It is currently the slow season summer but it will be a different ballgame in winter. Most higher ranking Vampire wake up and become more active.
