A quiet laugh escaped him. Not joy. Not madness. A laugh of disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m really climbing,\"he thought. \"Even in a single night.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bat Bat chose that moment to hop off the bed and stomp across the table like an angry tiny commander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do you eat blood,\" Bat Bat demanded, voice sharp, childish. \"Why not give Bat Bat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sekhmet lifted his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bat Bat’s tiny fists —claws— were on its hips. It looked absurdly serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sekhmet exhaled through his nose. He had to answer without mentioning the system. He chose his words carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I needed to strengthen my blood,\" Sekhmet said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bat Bat blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Strengthen,\" it repeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sekhmet nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Summoning depends on strength,\" Sekhmet continued. \"If I summon now without preparing, the result will be weaker.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bat Bat’s eyes narrowed suspiciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you eat blood for summon,\" it said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Sekhmet replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bat Bat stared at the jars, then stared back at Sekhmet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are greedy,\" Bat Bat accused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sekhmet’s mouth twitched. \"Correct,\" he admitted calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bat Bat nodded once, satisfied that it had won an argument. \"Okay,\" it said, \"Now summon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sekhmet glanced at the table full of blood jars. He had already completed the mission. He had upgraded Blood Summon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it was time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he used the god blood, he wanted to test his new level with the rare jars first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked out the six rare blood jars he had identified earlier — the ones with extra summon information. He placed them in a neat row.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bat Bat’s eyes gleamed. \"Six,\" it whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sekhmet nodded. \"Six,\" he repeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted the first jar — ancient demonkin blood. He poured half into a shallow bowl, then placed his hand over it. He focused his chaos energy. He felt the system’s summoning pathway open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke inwardly. \"Blood Summon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood rose from the bowl like a living serpent, twisting upward in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shhhk... shhhk...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It spun into a shape — wings first, then body, then eyes. A bat formed in midair, darker red than Bat Bat, with slightly longer fangs. It dropped to the floor softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its eyes glowed.

He repeated the process with the second jar — beast king blood flakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This summon formed slower, heavier. The blood spun thicker, forming a bat with broader wings and thicker claws. It landed with a heavier tap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Blood Minion: Rare Bat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overall Battle Power: 4500\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Traits: Stronger claws, sturdier bone structure, higher stamina.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sekhmet’s excitement grew. He summoned from the fallen angel blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That bat came out leaner, wings edged with faint pale lines like light scars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Overall Battle Power: 4700.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Traits: Faster flight, sharper perception, slight light resistance.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He summoned from the unknown humanoid beast blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That bat looked unsettling — its eyes were too intelligent, its face slightly more humanoid than normal bats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Overall Battle Power: 4800\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Traits: Higher intelligence, improved obedience, better stealth.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He summoned from the abyss serpent fossil blood after infusing it with chaos energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That bat came out with scales embedded in its wings like armor plates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Overall Battle Power: 5200.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Traits: Toughened hide, partial resistance to physical attacks.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And finally, from the dense humanoid blood he had found earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That bat formed with a sharp, clean shape, as if reality itself decided it should exist more neatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Overall Battle Power: 5000\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Traits: Balanced, stable, high growth ceiling.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Six rare bats. All over four thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sekhmet stared at them, breathing slowly. His room felt smaller now. Wings rustled softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flap... flap...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stood around him, six new blood minions, each bowing toward him instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bat Bat’s eyes were shining like a proud older sibling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, build a stronger bat army,\" Bat Bat whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sekhmet exhaled. \"Not the army,\" he corrected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bat Bat shook its head. \"Army,\" it insisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sekhmet did not argue. Because he could see it too. A future where he did not walk alone. A future where shadows had wings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now came the real summon. He reached for the small vial on the table. The human god, blood. Three drops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fingers tightened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bat Bat leaned forward, sniffing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Smell... very good,\" it whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sekhmet’s throat tightened again. He thought about the three drops. If he used all three for the summon, the harpy bat might be stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he also wanted to taste it. Not just curiosity. His blood instinct whispered that divine blood could strengthen him directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bat Bat tilted its head. \"Master,\" it said quietly. \"Taste.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sekhmet glanced at the small creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bat Bat’s eyes were serious now, not childish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Blood good,\" it whispered. \"Make the master strong. Make Bat Bat strong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sekhmet exhaled slowly. He asked the system inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I use all three drops for the summon, will the result be much stronger?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system answered instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding! Using all three drops will not significantly change the summon output at Host’s current level.
