Chapter 836 Acquiring A New Divine Ability!

-----
At the end, it was concluded that Ruby might had been brought all the way where the Vampires come from within the continent, a big kingdom of Vampires hiding beneath snow mountains which is controlled by Vampires, but where most of the population are humans, which are the preferred blood of vampires. This also explains why various Vampires we have encountered were Humans, Rose being one, I think. Humans seem to be the favorite snack of the bloodsuckers, and they're probably rising them like cattle without these people even realizing it, it is both sad and depressing, but at the same time somehow understandable? I guess they need to get it from somewhere if they want to sustain themselves. Apparently monster or animal blood can keep them at bay, but they need human-like blood to keep themselves sane.
Rose explained that the Kingdom was quite fair, the taxes were greatly reduced and most of what the humans paid was with their blood every few times through the year. The vampires didn't asked for too much blood either, and simply let them humans breed and make a big population so they can ask less for them individually but get a lot anyways as there are so many of them spread through their Kingdom. The idea seemed quite fair, seeing how the conditions were harsh there and the humans were enjoying good lives. She said the Vampires were actually good governors, although there was obvious corruption and also the faction of Vampires that delighted themselves into torturing the humans instead, but that faction was often repressed by the main family, where Ruby belonged.
Despite praising their ancestor and desiring his resurrection through Ruby, they had changed over time, as one of the few surviving families of vampires in the world after the "purge" of the Frost Queen Venerable, who hated Vampires the most, they had learned their lesson and decided to lay low and don't represent a menace to the other races of the world. Of course, due to the "Lady" or "Red" the fragment of Oberon that took the body of a Vampiress to master the element of blood, these vampires these last couple of dozens of years had become quite aggressive in their approach. Due to her own desires, some of them had even been infiltering into societies, attempting to control them from the back as if they were puppeteers, offering drugs, magical items considered illegal, and even power, this way, she managed to get many new followers, and there's this new clandestine "Evil Goddess of Blood" that has been making a lot of Cults lately.
Rose knew a lot more than I thought, although the two other Vampire Ghosts with her, who belonged to the group of Vampires we fought in the battle against Black, also complemented to the knowledge we got. Those two had ended fully merging with her, so she shared their knowledge. Of course, she can split them apart from her body, but for now she had grown strong by cultivating their souls and fusing with them, getting the power of three vampire ghosts at once almost permanently, or well, considerably permanent I suppose.
My desire to move to Heaven Port has been increased even more now that I've learned that the Lost Fiefdom of Blood, where Ruby comes from, is within the Snow Peaks to the far east from where the port is, so we could get there through flight in no time… I guess I could simply not take this next week as the last time we'll have to grow stronger and jump the shark, huh? But am I even strong enough to fight these Vampires as I am now? And is Ruby alright if she waits a bit until I can strengthen myself enough to feel confident about battling the Vampires, and quickly possibly Red herself, the root of this?
Wait… Don't I have Telepathy? And isn't Ruby connected to me through my Divine Dragon Mark? Can I speak to her through telepathy? System, can you help me?
[Calculating…]
[Telepathy] cannot be used with [Ruby] due to the enormous distance difference, additionally, there is a powerful Divine Power shielding her from the power of others from reaching her mind.]

"Amazing! With this maybe I can talk with Ruby…!" I said with a smile clear on my face, everyone at my side seemed confused.
"My lord?" Wondered Rose.
"What's wrong?" Asked Fuyu.
"Drake?" Asked Rakasha.
"Wait a minute…!" I said, stopping everyone from making weird assumptions about me, as I closed my eyes and concentrated.
I concentrated into the connection I had with Ruby, and then, infused my mind and soul into it! With a flash, I suddenly felt as if I was traversing through a strange stream of white light… Is this my mind traveling across space and time, or something? this feels completely different than the normal Telepathy I am used to.
"Ruby…! Ruby! Can you listen to me?"
I tried to speak to her now, but it seemed that nothing was happening… Did she heard me?
…
"Eh? …U-Uncle Drake?"
"Ruby!"
