I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

"Ha, that's right."

Seeing Emrik burst out with strength far greater than in any previous battle, Eve finally perked up a bit.

After all, she now has more than 100 million restrictions. If she wants to use her sword skills alone to deal with Emrik after he explodes without blowing up the half plane, she still needs to be serious.

Clang! ! !

Along with a huge shock wave, the sound of swords clashing resounded in all directions, and the ground around the two of them sank. Amidst the flying dust, Eve steadily caught the blow without even shaking her body.

"!!!"

Upon seeing this scene, a trace of confusion flashed across Emrik's eyes filled with anger. He was completely unable to comprehend what was happening before his eyes. He had been able to repel the opponent before when he had not used "that power", but now she was like a root, and no matter how much force he exerted on the sword, he could not shake her at all.

It is clear from the experience of previous battles that Eve, as a magician, is developing in the direction of a long-range turret, emphasizing the ability to suppress with barrages from a distance, but the close combat ability she has shown now is not weak at all. Is this the power she gained after the awakening ceremony?

bump!

But before he could figure out the reason, the sword in Eve's hand tilted slightly, and as her body tilted slightly, Emrik was directly kicked away by Eve. He rolled on the ground for several times in a mess, and finally hit a huge rock and barely stopped.

"Tsk."

Eve frowned slightly as she looked at Emrik who was kicked away by her. For some reason, when Emrik approached her just now, she suddenly felt a strong sense of disgust, as if they were meeting mortal enemies. But as the distance between them widened again, this feeling suddenly weakened and became vague.

If her previous dislike for Emrik came from the subjective reason that he had caught her holding an inferior species, now it was more like an instinctive dislike.

...I still don’t know what caused it, maybe this is why he became stronger?

However, Eve did not slow down at all. After she fired several shots in Emrik's direction with the empty blade in her left hand, she charged the empty blade in her right hand at the same time. With the cover of the light bullet in front of her, she headed towards Emrik.

Boom! Accompanied by several explosions, Emrik didn't dodge or evade, and rushed forward directly, facing the artillery fire from Eve. At this time, the wounds on his body caused by the explosion were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Then, before he had a chance to speak, Emrik was blasted away again by the charged artillery attack from Eve's right hand, making his own contribution to changing the terrain of the demiplane.

But this time Eve did not rush to chase him. Instead, she narrowed her eyes and paid attention to the wound on Emrik's body.

Just now when Emrik broke through the bombardment, Eve noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with the healing speed of his wounds. If he had such a strong recovery ability before, at least he would not have to lie down for so long every time after being repaired by her.

On the mainland, the vampires' self-healing and immortality are related to magic, bloodline, and the sun. The closer their bloodline is to the royal family and the more magic they have, the faster their self-healing speed will be. However, when exposed to the sun, the self-healing ability and strength of most vampires will be greatly weakened.

By the way, Eve's self-healing ability and immortality are even more outrageous than what Emrik showed just now. As long as she is not afraid of pain and is blown to pieces without leaving any ashes, she can be resurrected out of thin air. After all, she is a member of the royal family of the vampire clan with plenty of magic power.

Plus, after awakening her dragon bloodline, she became immune to sunlight. Hmm, what an ultimate creature.

"There is indeed a problem."

In the flying dust in the distance, Eve saw a tiny black flame burning on the huge wound on Emrik's body. As the black flame burned, his wound quickly recovered. At the same time, the black color in the blood-colored aura around him became more obvious.

If the black color when he exploded just now still made people think it was an illusion caused by light and shadow, then the aura wrapped around him now has a tendency to evolve into red and black.

"Inferior! Species!!!"

Before the huge wound on his body could fully heal, Emrik rushed over again with a sword in his hand and dots of black flames.

However, this time Eve did not want to take the attack head-on, but was prepared to retreat temporarily. After all, it was not a wise choice to make a hasty contact without knowing the effect of the black flame on the opponent.

"Sword Skill: Rock Piercing"

Swinging the empty blade, three streaks of sword light sank into the ground in front of her. Eve then lifted up the ground in front of her, standing between her and Emrik like a high wall.

Then, while kicking the stone wall away, Eve used the force to step back, creating distance between herself and Emrik.

bump!

With a dull thud, Emrik smashed the oncoming boulders like a bull. Amidst the rising dust, Eve keenly noticed that some of the boulders flying towards Emrik were burned by the remaining black flames on his body, but some still hit him.

Eve frowned slightly upon seeing this.

"Tsk, it's both offensive and defensive, quite advanced."

But no matter how much we complain, we still have to find a way to solve it.

Since close contact could be dangerous, we could only find a way to resolve it remotely. We did have long-range sword skills, but we hoped that we wouldn't have to resort to magic.

"Inferior! Species!!!"

On the other side, Emrik seemed to have lost his mind. He just kept roaring and rushed straight towards Eve. It seemed that any obstacles along the way would be smashed by him.

"Ah, I heard it, I heard it, it's so annoying, are you a parrot?"

As she spoke, Eve raised the empty blade in her hand and prepared to charge forward.

"Arkana, I'll leave the other three air blades to you. Take turns charging and firing at his legs to delay his movements!"

"Yes, Master!"

As Akana controlled the air blade to aim at Emrik's legs and bombarded them continuously, his attack speed was greatly slowed down. He rolled on the ground in a miserable state, and was knocked down again just as he got up.

However, as the trauma accumulated, the black flames on Emrik's body burned more and more vigorously, shortening the time he spent on the ground each time. At the same time, the burning black flames also offset some of the power of the artillery fire.

But Eve didn't intend to give him a chance to fully adapt.

"Okay, that's enough."

After hearing what Eve said, Akana stopped the bombardment in time, and the other half of Emrik rushed over again with black flames after losing the suppression.

"Huh, sword skill: Piercing the Clouds!"

Taking a deep breath, Eve suddenly thrust forward with the empty blade held horizontally in her right hand. A huge ravine appeared horizontally across the entire demiplane, and Emrik, who was in the attack path, was torn into pieces without any suspense.

The reason why it wasn't two pieces was because Emrick only had his head left. As for his body? No one knew where it had been torn to.

And this was when Eve held back. Her Cloud Piercer was aimed at the ground beneath his feet, not the center of Emrik's body, otherwise not even his head would be left.

After all, he is in the wrong if he provokes you, and you can give him a beating, but if you kill him directly because of this, then you are in the wrong.

The identity of the vampire princess is a little troublesome at this time. She needs to take into account the influence of all aspects and cannot act completely impulsively.

But this time it was much easier to send Emrik to the infirmary, as he could just grab a bag.

"Yeah, it's okay, not too rusty."

Looking at the huge ravine that stretched into the distance, Eve nodded slightly. It seemed that although she had a two-year gap, which took a little longer to accumulate power, the power of her sword skills was still online.

"Okay, we're done, it's a shame I didn't get to practice other sword skills."

Because of the strange black flame, Eve's idea of ​​using Emrik for training failed.

"Ok?"

Just as Eve was about to carry Emrik's head away and throw it into the infirmary, black flames ignited again, centered on his head...

§ 23 The battle resumes

"Ok?"

Looking at the black flames that were ignited again with Emrik's only remaining head as the center not far away, Eve finally became serious. It was beyond Emrik's ability to continue to make trouble with only a head left.

As the black flames burned more vigorously, the slight feeling of disgust just now turned into an irresistible impulse.

It was as if he saw a pile of toxic, harmful and non-recyclable waste in front of him, and he wanted to immediately give it a completely harmless disposal package, the kind that would leave no ashes.

This black flame seemed to corrode everything around it. At this time, a large area centered on Emrik's head had turned into black ash. From a distance, it looked like a boil growing on the ground, which was extremely eye-catching.

"..."

Looking at the black flames in front of her, Eve frowned slightly, pointed the empty blade in her hand forward, and golden light gathered at the tip of the sword. Then a charged cannon shot straight towards Emrik's head in the black flames.

She doesn't intend to talk about martial ethics. You transformed in front of me. Don't you think you are invincible?

However, just as the light bullet flew into the range of the black flames, the surrounding black flames suddenly rioted as if they sensed the threat. The surging black flames collided with the light bullet, followed by a violent explosion.

Click, click, faint footsteps were heard in the smoke and dust after the explosion.

"Tsk."

With a click of her tongue, Eve combined the two empty blades into a shield to guard against possible surprise attacks. At the same time, the light bullet at the tip of the sword in her left hand was ready to be fired, pointing straight ahead.

When the smoke and dust cleared, Emrik's body had recovered. The black flames had repaired his body and were gradually turning into normal skin. He looked like he was drunk, his steps were unsteady, and he looked staggering.

"!"

Looking at Emrik Eve not far away, he frowned slightly, then suddenly raised the shield in his hand forward to protect his body.

Then a huge force directly hit the shield in Eve's right hand, knocking her several inches into the ground. The huge explosion sounded a beat late before it reached Eve's ears. Emrik, who had just been not far away, had already rushed in front of Eve.

Under the huge impact, the long sword in Emrik's hand was broken, and his right arm was twisted into a strange shape, but then it returned to its original shape in an instant with the burning of black flames, and the speed was much faster than the beginning, and a long sword condensed by black flames also appeared in his hand.

Unlike the previous long sword, the black flame long sword at this time seemed to grow on his hand, and seemed to have merged with him.

Clinging to the shield, Emrik roared in an extremely hoarse voice.

"LLLL, inferior, inferior, inferior species!!!!!!"

Well, even though things have become like this, Emrik still can't forget that Eve is an inferior species. He is very persistent.

"Climb for me!"

Enduring the extremely harsh voice of Emrik in front of her, Eve directly pressed the light ball condensed on the empty blade in her left hand against the shield and detonated it. The huge impact once again widened the distance between the two.

Glancing at her left hand that was twisted by the explosion at extremely close range, Eve swung her left arm, and her left hand recovered.

"Tsk, that's a bit annoying."

If she hadn't been afraid to use too much magic power to strengthen herself to prevent herself from losing control, the explosion just now would not have injured her.

Moreover, her cooperation with Viya and Arcana is not very good, which makes it difficult for the two weapon elves to keep up with her rhythm and intervene in her battle.

Just like just now, Ilvia did not expect that Eve would directly detonate the air blade's artillery fire close to her body to force the opponent away, resulting in her failure to defend Eve in time.

This was due to Ilvia's habit of thinking. After all, she had been following Eve since she was still a hero. Although she could not show her human form, she had been watching Eve fight. She only fell into a temporary sleep after Eve was embraced for the first time, and was then awakened again at the Awakening Ceremony.

This resulted in her impression of Eve's fighting style remaining stuck in the period when Eve was a hero.

As a hero, Eve would try her best to avoid exchanging injuries during battles, and would focus on avoiding the opponent's attacks. After all, once a human body is injured, subsequent treatment and rehabilitation will be very troublesome, even with the help of top-level elixirs, not to mention that sometimes once injured, you may not even be able to survive for treatment.

But after becoming a vampire, Eve has the royal-level recovery ability of the vampires as a backing, and exchanging injuries for injuries has become her subconscious habit.

After all, when you have the resilience and immortality to the point where the opponent can't kill you even if you stand still, it doesn't matter whether you're injured or not. As long as it doesn't affect your movements and you don't lose consciousness directly, you don't have to dodge or evade other attacks.

Of course it still hurts at first, and I even fainted from the pain many times, but later on, the pain got more severe and I became numb. In short, it was all forced out.

"I wonder what it will take to restore Black Flame..."

Looking at Emrik Eve, who was surrounded by black flames and staggered to his feet again not far away, he frowned slightly.

Recovery does not come out of thin air, it also needs to follow a certain price. Take Eve as an example, her recovery is based on the royal bloodline of the vampire clan, and is achieved by quickly consuming magic power. Thanks to her constantly expanding magic power storage at that time, and now the total amount of magic power cannot be determined, she can heal herself quickly at will.

In theory, the Black Flame on Emrik will also follow this, but it is not yet clear what the Black Flame will consume to heal.

The worst case scenario is that Black Flame heals himself by consuming the free magic power in space. In that case, it is necessary to create a magic vacuum zone in a short period of time to block his recovery. But the embarrassing thing is that Eve now wants to avoid using magic as much as possible. After all, blowing up the training ground again is not a good idea.

However, it is not impossible to restrain Emrik and then use sword skills to gradually wear down the magic power in a certain area until he has drained all the magic power. At most, it will take more time.

The difference between using magic to drain the magic power of an area is probably the difference between killing someone with one blow and being tortured to death.

"Bad, bad, bad!!! Wait!!! Kind of!!!"

On the other side, Emrik, who was blown away, recovered again, but this time he seemed to have some concerns. He did not rush to Eve to continue attacking, but kept roaring, like a ferocious beast, circling around Eve looking for an opportunity.

"...Why do I feel like he seems a bit smarter now?"

Should we call it the instinct of a beast? Emrik, now in a frenzy, was actually much sharper than before, or at least much better than when he was controlling it with his mind.

But even in this situation, he still can't forget about the inferior species. How big is his obsession?

Among those people who formed a group to mock Eve as an inferior species, he was probably the only one who was sincere in his remarks. Otherwise, the others would not have run away after being beaten, while he would not have fought on despite repeated setbacks.

"Let's try it first."

With a sigh of relief, Eve once again made the Cloud Piercing move with the air blade in hand.

"!!!"

Seeing this scene, Emrik, who seemed to have lost his mind, actually began to move quickly and randomly. For a moment, the sound of sonic boom resounded throughout the demiplane.

"…So throwing his brain away did have a positive effect after all."

Eve felt helpless looking at the situation. She could only calm down and wait for the opportunity. The battle was at a stalemate for a while.
