Virupa, The Vampire doppelganger

A young man was running as his life was depended on it and behind him was a massive white wolf, few skeletons were running behind them, besides the young man was a skeleton running even faster,

"Hey Kapali, do something?"

"My lord, I can't use the skill consecutively, I have to wait for some time to use it again"

"...damn it"

as he was looking all around for something he can use, he saw the dead body of himself, that is the cores of the doppelganger still laying on the ground, suddenly he got an idea and changed his direction of running towards the doppelganger, as he was nearing the body he said to Kapali,

"Kapali, hold it back for a minute"

As a loyal servant he is, he doesn't question his lord's words and simply answer,

"Yes, my lord"

He turned around holding the previously cabinet short sword in his hand as he taunted the wolf,

"Hey you overgrown dog, came here".

Maybe due to his provocation or due to his exposed bones, the wolf lost its attention on Shiva for a movement,

Shiva didn't miss this opportunity as he ran towards the doppelganger body and used one of his limited time use class-specific skills,

" Raise from the dead"

He initially thought of using his normal skeleton summons on it, but he know that his normal summon can't fight agonist the strong monsters like the wolf since they only regain 50% of their power, whereas using his Class-specific skill was akin to reviving it with all its abilities so he changed his mind,

As a black mist covered the body of the doppelganger, some changes began to happen, previously the body in his shape was transforming in real-time and soon its original appearance was revealed,

it was a bizarre monster with a white body, oval face with no nose, mouth or anything, only two eyes were visible on its face, it didn't have any gender, with its whole white body except its arms and legs which were pitch black and shaped like some sort of sticks together, The monster didn't look intimidating but he can't seem to feel any emotions while watching it, that was the true appearance to the doppelganger,

(Look at comments for reference art of doppelganger)

as soon as the dark most faded, it knelt on one leg with its head down as it greeted him,

"I, The vampire doppelganger, greets my lord"

Shiva was surprised at the relaxation that this doppelganger was a vampire but he didn't show it on his face as he nodded,

"Please bestow upon me a name, my lord"

"You, the one without any form but with changing eyes, will be known as Virupa from now on"

"Thank you for your grace, my lord "

As shiva was looking at him he noticed that Virupa was not all bones like Kapali but he seemed to retain his body, which surprised him,

"My lord I don't think I can hold on for much longer"

Kapali screened in desperation as Shiva ordered Virupa,

"Virupa transform to that wolf and held Kapali defeat it"

"Your wish is my command, my lord"

Virupa got up and started walking towards the fighting duo, his body began to transform drastically his legs and arms grew big as his body bent down with white fur growing all around his body as his head transformed to wolf's head, after a minute it was completely transformed exactly like the white wolf as it plugged on it,

Shiva took this time to check his stats.

"Woaaa...He seems like a weak monster at glance but his skill is terrifying, he would be even stronger than Kapali considering the situation, and again why didn't he use the skills while fighting me?"

(lol, You didn't even fight :-| )

As he was seeing the status window, Virupa leapt above the wolf making it stop for a second, he instantly summoned 2 bats disturbing the wolf, Kapali didn't miss the chance as he continuously stabbed and slashed at Wolf's legs, his skill cooldown was also nearing its end.

For Shiva who was looking from sideways, it looked like two overgrown dogs scratching at each other while fighting like street dogs, he wanted to help but just summoning the vampire already consumed all of his mana, so he was now regenerating while looking at Kapali and Virupa.

Finally, the cooldown of his skill ended as Kapali used his current ultimate skill.

" Sword style of Death demon...First, move 'Death pierce' "

The wolf finally fell down, with a massive hole in its belly as the system message once again rang in Shiva's ears...
