CH.62 Curing the Curse
As we agreed to try to cure Lucia’s curse, I let Vampire Lady take control of the situation. I’m not an expert on this.
“Miss, we should move to your bedroom.” My summon said to Lucia.
“That’s fine. Follow .” She said as she got up from the table.
“And you will stay here, Master.” My summon ordered.
Really? I can’t watch? That’s disappointing.
“I don’t mind if he cos.” Lucia argued.
(It would be better if Master doesn’t go, in case Lucia has a reaction similar to Master’s when blood magic is used on her.) Laura told . Yeah, I almost lost my mind to the pleasure when she did that blood scan thing. I’ll just stay here.
“It’s fine.” I said to the duo. “I can wait here.”
“We’ll be back soon.” My summon said as they walked up the stairs.

Well, now I’m here with nothing to do. At least there is one thing. My reprints. I’ll just pull those open as I wait.

No. I did not. Is that really?
I rub my eyes for a second and take another look. It’s still there. The beauty, the elegance, the absolute power. The legendary dragon.
Blue-Eyes White Dragon
I have one.
(Laura, I need a toploader for this beauty, like yesterday.)
Electric Snake, 2x Fiend Scorpion, Gigobyte, 2x Goblin Thief, 2x Gravekeeper's Servant, Griggle, Hitotsu- Giant, Humanoid Worm Drake, Judgnt of the Desert, Kiseitai, 2x Labyrinth of Nightmare, 3x Light of Judgnt, 2x Man-Thro' Tro', Minor Goblin Official, 4x Monster Gate
(Just make it. I don’t really care what you sacrifice.) I hurried Laura along. (But I want to place it in the sleeve and toploader myself.) I added. Usually I would let Laura do it. But this is special.
(As you wish, Master. Here are the sleeve and toploader. Please take out the card when you are ready.)
If I have to wait to be ready, I won’t get it done today. You can’t get ready for this.
I carefully pull my Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my collection. I hold it in my hand and just bask in its glory. Sure it’s not a first edition from Legend of Blue-Eyes, but it doesn’t matter. I have one and it’s mine. Don’t you dare to even look at it. It’s MINE and I won’t hand it over to anyone.
I slowly and carefully slide the Blue-Eyes into the sleeve. I don’t want to scratch it at this point. After I have it all the way in, I watch as the sleeve seals around the card. Then I slide the now sleeved card into the toploader. Like with the sleeve, the toploader closes after the card is all the way in.
I take another good look at my dragon. I honestly just want to run outside and summon her right now. But, I would likely just cause mass chaos. Blue-Eyes is likely larger than Red-Eyes, and it’s also shining white. Everyone would see it.
With one final look, I decide to place it back to my collection and open the last pack of Dark Beginning. I love this set already.

Nothing amazing here. Ground Collapse might do sothing fun and St. Joan is a strong monster. But I don’t have the materials for St. Joan. Well, at least I have it if I ever get the materials for it. I also have poly.
Now, I just wait. At least I have this tea to drink while I wait. It’s really good actually. She knows how to make good tea.

[Lucia POV]
I was laying on my bed in our team house. Technically Zayaan was the owner of the house, but we all paid for it together, so it's a team house.
I had stripped to just my bra for what cos next. I honestly didn’t think it could ever happen.
After all, in my room with , was a vampire. A true vampire. Sothing that should have died over millennia ago. Only legends exist anymore.
Her blue skin is different from what I’ve heard, but my intuition says she still is one. Perhaps she is a subtype of a true vampire.
“Please, stay still and relax.” She said to . I did as instructed. I know from experience that using blood magic on a person is easier if that person is completely still.
How did sothing that should be long since extinct end up in my room? Well it all cos down to one person. The summoner, Brian. He ca to town just a few days ago and already almost everyone in town knows about him.
He wasn’t in the room with , as the vampire ordered him to stay downstairs. I wouldn’t have minded him being here, but I’m also glad he doesn’t see like this.

For , I t him when I was on a hunt with my team. We were aiming for a horned bison that was spotted near the south road. A c-rank monster. But when we found it, it was already dead. Brian had taken it down with his summons. He had two beasts with him at the ti, an imp and a panda. I’d never seen a panda before that.
He apologized for hunting our prey but we all agreed that it’s fine. We would still get the guild reward, as the problem was dealt with even if we didn’t do it. Then he even agreed to split the sale of the bison with us.
On the next day we escorted him and the lord of the town to a new dungeon. Brian beca the dungeon’s founder. He even gave a ‘hoodie’ he made with the dungeon. I was a little brought down that he would use as a test subject, but it was worth it. That hoodie is so soft and warm.
Then he showed us how his unique skill works. I was surprised. I’ve never seen a skill that links to the system like that. I’ve not really even heard of them. The only one I know of is the ‘appraisal’ skill. And even that is slightly different.
He let try summoning sothing and the cute little creature I summoned was so adorable I just had to hug it. I was able to play around with it for two hours, before I had to unsummon it. I think Brian said sothing about two hours being the ti limit.
But then, sothing terrible happened.
I was out in the fields watching over the lower ranked adventurers as they were herding and feeding the boars that called the plains surrounding the town their ho, when a bird flew to . The bird was see-through and it had co to us to deliver a ssage. It said that wyverns were going to attack the town.
I didn’t fully understand but apparently, Brian had foreseen a wyvern attack and sent this bird to warn us. After telling that the bird flew off sowhere, only to return a little later.
Brian then picked Rico and I up in a golem carriage. He was with the miss of the Watchman family. Why is she out here with him?
We managed to take down the wyverns, thanks to Brian’s summons. I was even able to solo one, with the help of the large golem Brian loaned to . His summons are incredible.
In the end, no one died. Few had so injuries and one guard was even badly wounded, but Brian managed to heal him with a potion. He was left paralyzed by the wyverns poison, but that can be healed. Death cannot.
But Brian passed out. I didn’t really know why. Lady Watchman said he was burning up, and as I made my way over to him, he most definitely was. I began using water magic to keep him cool. We got him on a stretcher and took him back into town.
The doctor said he had severe level-up sickness. All we could do is wait and keep him cool. I didn’t sleep much that night, as I was using water magic to keep him cool. Thankfully the wyvern blood I collected helped keep my mana levels up. I didn’t get to take part in the festival that took place that evening, but I don’t mind. I had a more important job to do. Taking care of the town's savior.
He woke up and we spent the morning together. He then offered to give light magic if I wanted. I knew he had sothing to do with the Watchman daughter learning magic, but I didn’t think he could just give attributes like that.
I refused, because of my curse. He then offered to heal my blood curse. I tried to argue against it, but in the end he won.
He said he could possibly summon a vampire. And he did. And now, we are here.

“I’ll bite now, just hold still.” The vampire said to .
Her bite didn’t hurt. It was pleasant. Like a hug. I could feel her magic flowing into . Similar to how the ‘scan’ spells felt, but more powerful. Was she using ‘blood scan’?
Then her mana got a lot more intence. A surge flowed through . Every muscle in my body stiffened. But not for long, as the surge ran out, I relaxed. I felt lighter. Did she do it?
“I’m sorry.” She said to . Sorry? Why? “I can’t cure your curse.” She told .
“But, I feel much better.” I told her.
“I could lessen its effect temporarily, but the curse is not gone.” She told . “The lessened effect will likely last two to three days.”
I see. So even a true vampire can’t cure . That’s too bad.
“We should report this to Master Brian.” She said to . “A higher ranking vampire should be able to cure you completely, so we must tell Master to try to pull one.”
“Sure, let’s go back down stairs.” I answered and got up from the bed. I quickly put my clothes back on and followed the vampire down the stairs.
