I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

§ 24 Ending

“…Tsk.”

Looking at Emrik running around like a headless fly in front of her, Eve made a fuss in annoyance and then stopped using Cloud Piercing. After all, Cloud Piercing, as a point-to-point attack skill, was not really suitable for this situation.

As if realizing that the threat had disappeared, Emrik also stopped and started muttering "inferior species" while keeping an eye on Eve.

Looking at him like this, Eve's eyes flashed slightly, and she already had a plan.

"Hoo... Arcana, could you restrain his movements a bit while I use my sword skills? Just enough to stop him for a moment."

"Eh? Well...it should be fine."

After roughly estimating Emrik's speed in his mind, Akana nodded.

"Okay, let's get ready. Wei Ya will help with some protection."

"Ah."

Then a faint barrier appeared, protecting Arcana and Ilvia.

Seeing that they were well protected, Eve took a deep breath, then bent her legs and lowered her body, with the two empty blades in her hands hanging low and gently crossing in front of her.

boom! ! !

With a loud bang, a huge circular pit like the one left after an explosion appeared where Eve had just stood, and she had already leaped high into the sky, raising the empty blade in her hand high, pointing directly in the direction of Emrik below.

"Sword Skill: Boundary Break!!!"

As the two air blades were suddenly swung down, huge air blades appeared in the demiplane like a transparent giant wall hanging from the sky, as if connecting heaven and earth.

Facing this blow that seemed to split the world, Emrik finally had no room to dodge. Black flames erupted from his body and collided with the air blade that fell from the sky, causing a huge air wave to erupt at the intersection.

He himself used the momentum of the black flame to deflect a little, barely escaping the center of the slash, and then prepared to use the explosion of black flame to escape from the center of the boundary as much as possible.

But this time he had no chance to dodge again. Arcana's charged bombardment with the air blade arrived at the right time and directly stopped Emrik who was about to escape.

The next moment, the black flame was defeated, and the huge air blade that fell from the sky directly swallowed Emrik.

And it wasn't just the boundary-severing air blades that descended from the sky.

"Sword Skill: Piercing the Clouds!"

Eve, who was in mid-air just now, did not stop after using the boundary severance. Instead, she made a cloud-piercing gesture in the air again, and then suddenly stabbed out at Emrik, whose movement was restricted by Arcana.

Accompanied by the pain of thousands of blades, Emrik was pressed into the ground by Jie Duan's air blade. Chuanyun's attack followed immediately, directly turning Emrik's body into a ball of blood mist, and then was directly blasted apart by Jie Duan's air blade.

"call."

At this moment, Eve also happened to fall back to the ground.

Eve had given up on holding back after that attack. Although she had thought of capturing him alive to investigate the origin of the black flame, after the fight, she found that judging from his regenerative ability, it would probably take some time for him to be exhausted unless he was prepared to blow up the training ground. Not to mention that his recovery speed was getting faster and faster.

So I thought that instead of staying in a stalemate, I might as well just go all out and completely suppress his regenerative ability.

Judging from the previous situation, Emrik should still have a little breath left, right?

After all, he was able to recover quickly before with only a head left, so it should be okay now with only a little ash left, right?

Thinking about all these things, Eve summoned a little bit of magic power to gather together the land where Emrik had just been blasted into ashes.

"Hmm...ah, there is indeed some reaction."

After staring at the ball of dirt in front of her for a long time, Eve finally caught a slight hint of magical reaction.

Compared to before, the magic power is now so weak that it is almost unnoticeable, and even the part of the body that emits the magic power cannot be seen.

But even so, Eve was not careless at all. She pointed the empty blade in her hand forward, and a ball of light representing a charged artillery attack was ready to go at the tip of the sword.

Half a day later, with the surge of magic power, Emrik's head slowly grew out of the earth ball, but this time he had completely lost consciousness, and the black flames that had just raged had disappeared.

Seeing this, Eve subconsciously raised her hand and prepared to cast magic to isolate the head, just in case, but she stopped at the last moment.

"Huh, I almost forgot."

During the battle, I was always careful not to use magic, but after the battle, I almost forgot about it. It would be so embarrassing if I accidentally blew up half the plane because of this.

"Um...Viya, could you please seal this ball of dirt so it doesn't come into contact with the magic power of the outside world?"

"Ah."

Nodding, Ilvia raised her little hand, and a ball of light emerged, wrapping up the earth ball and Emrik's head on it.

"Yeah~ finally done."

After staring at the head in the light ball for a while and making sure there was no unusual movement, Eve stretched.

"Ah, in the end, we didn't even get to practice coordination. We just relied on our swordsmanship."

This wave of major enhancements to Emrik was somewhat beyond Eve's expectations. If it weren't for her superior skills, it might have become a toy-like incident that hurt people.

"But what exactly is that black flame?"

Eve frowned slightly thinking back to how Emrik looked just now.

Judging from his performance just now, the black flame will drive the user into madness and lose his mind, but he will gain the instinct of a beast and an extremely strong regenerative ability. It requires a powerful blow to completely block it, otherwise it will only enter a war of attrition.

The war of attrition is not suitable for close combat due to the existence of black flames, and can only rely on long-range suppression, with the saying "No Trespassing" is enforced.

In short, the black flame is a very tricky power. I don’t know how Emrik obtained it, nor do I know whether this power can be mass-produced.

"And what exactly is that feeling of disgust..."

In addition to these, Eve was also concerned about the inexplicable feeling of disgust. Now that the black flames disappeared, that feeling also disappeared.

But at this moment, Ilvia suddenly pulled Eve's arm.

"Hmm? What's wrong, Via?"

"Well, I'm not feeling well."

As she spoke, Ilvia raised her hand and pointed inside the light ball.

At this moment, Ilvia, who usually looked very calm, frowned for the first time.

"Eh? Is it a feeling of disgust? The feeling of wanting it to go away?"

"Ah."

After hearing Eve's question, Weiya nodded slightly.

"Even Viya... Could it be..."

Eve's voice suddenly became lower halfway through her speech, as if she was being cautious about something.

Now it seems that the source of that disgust should be Ilvia. Since the contract closely links the two of them, she will also be affected by Ilvia.

But since she is not Ilvia herself, her feelings are not as sharp as hers, so now that the power has disappeared, only Ilvia can still feel the discomfort.

"Go talk to Mother... I hope it's not what I think."

When Eve raised her head again, her expression had become much more serious. After all, when talking about the enemy of the Holy Sword, the first thing that came to mind was probably the existence that was taboo on the continent.

At the same time, it is also the most widely circulated story of all the stories related to the holy sword, that is - the battle to subjugate the demon god!

§ 25 The Mystery of the Demon God (Part 1)

brush

Following a fluctuation at the entrance to the demiplane, Eve walked out dragging a ball of light behind her, her face a little gloomy.

The court mage who came forward to greet her was a little panicked when he saw her like this, and asked tentatively.

"Princess, are you okay?"

"It's okay. Is mother in the study in the inner castle now?"

"Eh? I think so. I just reported the matter over there."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. I'll leave for a moment. You can seal off this demiplane yourself."

Eve said as she pointed to the demiplane she had just come out of.

"No one is allowed to enter except me and my mother!"

"Eh? Yes!"

Although he didn't understand why his princess did this, the court magician still followed the order obediently without asking any further questions. After all, sometimes the more you know, the more dangerous it is.

Seeing that only Eve showed up and Emrik was nowhere to be found, the servants, worried that their master had been killed by Eve, had no choice but to muster up the courage to step forward and ask.

"Your Highness, Princess, where is Second Young Master Emrick?"

"It's in the ball. I'll take it to the infirmary. Any other questions?"

Pointing to the ball of light behind her, Eve replied coldly.

"No, no, no more, Your Highness, please."

Looking at the small ball of light behind Eve, the servant couldn't help but gasp. Judging from the size of the ball of light, in the best case scenario, Emrik had his limbs broken and was forced in.

But since their second young master was still alive, the relieved servants dared not continue to stop Eve, who was obviously in a bad mood, and consciously made way for her.

Da da da

Eve's face was serious as she dragged the ball of light down the corridor leading to the infirmary.

squeak

"Eh? Princess, you're here again. Who's unlucky this time?"

As soon as I pushed open the door of the infirmary, a gentle voice came over, with a hint of teasing at the end.

Thanks to the vampires' self-healing ability, few people come to the infirmary. Apart from the delegations from other races, the most frequent visitor is Eve, who occasionally brings people with her. After a few visits, she became familiar with the doctor Sophia.

But unfortunately, Eve was not in the mood to chat today.

"Ah."

After a simple response, Eve threw the ball of light in her hand over.

"Completely isolate this ball of light and block the flow of magic power from the outside world. Forbid anyone from coming into contact with it except me and my mother. Whoever comes to try to reach it must be repelled."

"Eh? Princess, what is this?"

Sophia was a little confused looking at the ball of light in front of her, but she acted without hesitation and completed the seal in just a few moves.

Although there are not many opportunities to fight, Sophia, as the resident physician in the vampire palace, is very good in all aspects, and is definitely a good player even in combat.

"Emric, the second young master of the Gangro clan."

"Oh, is that so...huh?!!!"

After responding casually, Sophia suddenly reacted and shouted loudly.

"Your Highness Eve, you're being really ruthless this time."

Looking at the small ball of light, Sophia's mouth twitched slightly.

Emrik had been sent to the infirmary by Eve several times before, and she had seen and treated him. It was hard to imagine how Eve managed to fit a guy of his size into this ball.

"But didn't you bring him to me for treatment? Why did you ask me to seal him off?"

Sophia asked, seeming a little confused about Eve's order just now.

"This is a special case. There's something wrong with him. I'm just about to tell my mother about it. It's very serious."

"Is that so... Don't worry, Your Highness Eve, I will definitely keep an eye on him."

Seeing Eve's attitude, Sophia understood the seriousness of the matter and didn't ask any more questions.

"Well, I'll leave it to you. I'll go find my mother first. Oh, by the way, this is for you. Show it to me if you get into trouble."

Eve, who was about to go out, seemed to remember something, turned around, took off the ring on her hand and was about to hand it to Sophia.

At first glance, the ring in Eve's hand was not particularly gorgeous, and could even be said to be a bit plain. The ring was silver in color, with only a tiny blood-red gem as decoration.

But if you zoom in and observe, you will find that there are actually extremely tiny patterns engraved on the entire ring, and these patterns are combined to form layers of magic arrays.
