Crossing the true dragon realm, and you call me Little Locke?

Twilight Kingdom is a vampire kingdom located on a high plateau in the clouds.

Because of the dimensional overlap during the Long Night Year, the Cloud Highlands are still affected by the distortions of the Shadowlands.

It possesses some characteristics of the Shadowlands and overlaps with the Fear Demiplane.

The Twilight Kingdom is a vampire kingdom established by relying on the eternal night of the Cloud Plateau.

It is ruled by the Twilight Council, composed of nine great vampire lords, and possesses an elite vampire force unique across all planes.

Although geographical constraints made their expansion quite difficult.

And they were viewed with hostility and suspicion by the Raven Queen's shadow spirit and the goddess of magic, Celestial Silverhand.

However, vampires, as high-ranking undead, possess outstanding shapeshifting and charm abilities.

With these two things, their destructive power through covert infiltration is extremely strong.

Therefore, even though the surrounding forces are very careful and on guard, they still cannot avoid being infiltrated and occupied.

Farossia's northern border, being relatively close, is frequently harassed by them.

The duke's comical death presented them with yet another excellent opportunity for invasion and expansion.

After learning that the Northern nobles had gathered at White Poplar Harbor for various reasons to attend the engagement banquet, the vampires...

They immediately dispatched elite troops, intending to wipe out the northern nobles in one fell swoop.

This would leave the northern border leaderless, making it easier for subsequent invasions.

These invading vampire elites didn't expect that after successfully infiltrating the banquet by using the charm guards...

However, the Shuoyang siblings accidentally saw through their plan and caught them off guard.

After taking a fully restrained Yangyan Explosion from Lena.

The invading vampires were all severely injured, and they howled for a long time before they recovered.

At this time, most of the people in the hall had recovered from their blindness.

In Cassialo, where strength reigns supreme, many northern nobles are adventurers by origin.

Therefore, the first thing these people did upon regaining their sight was to realize that they had not brought weapons because they were attending a banquet.

However, their past adventurous lives did not make them, like other nobles, immediately flee and hide.

They reverted to their old ways, dismantling table legs and stealing candlesticks.

Before long, they had all found something suitable.

Seeing this, Lena breathed a sigh of relief and teleported to Shuoyang's side in a flash.

They held down Shuoyang, who still wanted to revert to his true form.

Because she was too close, reverting to his true form would affect her.

Shuoyang clicked his tongue in disappointment.

He looked at the vampire assassins and saw that seven of them carried swords and three carried magic orbs.

"Are they all elite vampires?"

Shuoyang frowned, touched the Poké Ball at his waist, and turned to look at Violet.

Unlike himself, Violet's true form was smaller.

It's only about ten meters long, from head to tail, and can be deployed in the hall.

With the addition of Fireworks, Platinum Unicorn, and the two high-level spellcasters, Rena and Galle, there shouldn't be any major problems.

So after some consideration, Shuoyang decided not to release the remaining four spirits.

He planned to keep it as a trump card to save his life.

Meanwhile, the vampires, after recovering, also assessed the strength of both sides.

Aside from the Firework, an "elemental creature" that resembled the Balrog, they were unsure of its strength.

Of the others, they only need to pay attention to Reina and Galle, the two high-level spellcasters.

As for the platinum unicorn, they treated it as a mutated ordinary unicorn and didn't take it seriously at all.

So after their assessment, they also believed that the advantage lay with me.

Based on this, tactical arrangements were made.

"Prepare to summon beasts and prepare a counterspell."

The lead vampire lowered his voice and ordered his vampire spellcasters, "I'll go and deal with that half-witch sorceress."

Having said that, he strode forward, ignoring his tattered, burned clothes.

Just as he was about to say a few words as usual, using his charm as a cover,

The fireworks and the platinum unicorn over there only remembered Shuoyang's initial orders.

One of them unleashed a fire-breathing attack, unleashing a wave of flames. Another continued to refract, releasing several prisms that enveloped the vampire leader.

The attacks were launched almost simultaneously, disrupting the vampires' rhythm.

"Damn it! Let's go!"

The vampire leader hastily dodged using Shadow Step.

Faced with these two unruly elves, he couldn't care less about any plans.

All he could do was give a shout and charge forward alongside his men.

Thus, a chaotic battle broke out.

Violet couldn't wait to reveal her dragon form, leaping over everyone's heads and pouncing on the three vampire spellcasters.

Meanwhile, Galle used a flash to shield everyone in front of him.

Without saying a word, he cast a nine-ring invincible spell on himself to ensure his safety.

Only then did he unleash the Chain Lightning of the Six Rings.

He unleashed a leaping bolt of lightning, striking a vampire warrior charging towards him, using him as a conduit to split the lightning.

It struck the three vampire spellcasters, interrupting their spellcasting.

This would allow Violet to engage them in close combat.

What are you doing?!

But when Lena saw this, she transformed into a grumpy older sister.

He immediately started yelling, "Are you giving them massages here?"

"Are you experiencing a burst of heat?"

"I...I wasn't prepared."

Galle looked embarrassed and replied with a hint of helplessness.

His ninth and eighth spell slots are, as usual, equipped with Invincibility and Mystra's Star.

Other high-level spell slots are mostly filled with spells related to teleportation and protection.

So while he could protect himself and escape from these vampires without any problems, he had virtually no chance of killing them.

Upon hearing this, Lena couldn't help but roll her eyes.

She just couldn't understand why Siron Silverhand was such a reckless bombardment mage.

How could they have taught a disciple like Galle who is all he knows is caution?

But since things have come to this, there's no point in saying more.

She could only try to find an opportunity to cast a spell and see if she could kill these difficult-to-kill vampires.

Meanwhile, on the vampire's side, after Violet revealed her true form...

Their situation was equally difficult.

After all, their racial advantages, which mortals are so proud of, are nothing but weaklings compared to dragons, magical creatures at the top of the food chain.

Whether it's strength and physique, or magic and resistance, they are no match for Violet, who is still just a young dragon.

The only vampire leader who could use skill and speed to overpower Violet.

They were also entangled by fireworks and platinum unicorns, becoming increasingly passive the more they fought.

After all, Fireworks and Platinum Unicorn are known among the elves for their ability to stack up.

The properties of fireworks—combustion enhancement and the skill of blowing fire—both increase in destructive power the more they are used.

The Platinum Unicorn's skill reflection is based on its other skills, providing various additional effects such as enhancement, healing, and energy reduction.

The vampire leader, on the other hand, had never seen elves before.

He relied on his past knowledge and experience.

He naturally assumed that Flame, the "Fire Elemental Demon," was immune to fire, so he didn't use his strongest Hellfire to attack Flame.

As for the Platinum Unicorn, he thought that unicorns were celestial beings.

He then relentlessly attacked with what he considered to be effective demonic power.

As it turned out, the Light-type Pokémon was resistant to Dark-type attacks. He fought for a long time, but it was still not as fast as the Platinum Unicorn healing itself with Refraction.

So the platinum unicorn simply took the initiative to shield the flames from the attack, letting them set off fire to their heart's content.

Because the skills of elves are different from the spell casting mechanism of this world.

The vampire leader fought for a long time but didn't realize in time to have his subordinates cast a dispel spell.

Removes the skill enhancement effects from Fireworks and Platinum Unicorn.

As the tide turned, the vampire leader found it increasingly difficult to fight.

Faced with fireworks with increasingly higher and higher flame intensity.

His own fire resistance gradually became ineffective, and he could only start dodging left and right.

"Hoho~!"

As the fireworks blazed, their flames grew ever brighter and brighter.

After a roar, its entire body began to radiate golden light and expand, evolving into its final form, Vulcan.

Compared to the original, rather robust, firework form.

The Vulcan's size and muscles were frighteningly swollen, just like a real Balrog.

The heat emanating from it made the hall feel like the height of summer.

"Roar~!"

With another roar, the Vulcan, whose power had surged, unleashed the Dark Assault skill.

It disappeared into the shadows, instantly catching up with the vampire leader who had transformed into a shadow and was fleeing.

With a flick of its claws, it unleashed three crescent-shaped dragon-attribute energy blades.

With this Dragon Claw strike, the unsuspecting vampire leader was cleaved into three pieces.
