I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

With that, Eve prepared to move to the inner castle courtyard.

Although it is no longer possible to teleport directly to the dangerous area of ​​scorching fire, it is still no problem to use teleportation magic to reach the surrounding area. As for whether she can catch up later, it depends on her speed.

"Wait a minute, if there's any danger, you just..."

Elizabeth's voice suddenly became softer halfway through her speech, and even her usually calm expression became a little complicated, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Although it was her original plan to have Eve go to the rescue, she became worried when it actually happened.

Although from the feeling during the previous mother-daughter sparring, Eve's current strength is comparable to hers, but as her mother, she can't help but worry about her.

But her identity and responsibility as the Queen of the Blood Clan prevented her from saying anything to stop it.

After turning around, Eve seemed to notice Elizabeth's troubles and smiled at her, stopping her from saying the last words.

"Don't worry, mother. I will definitely rescue them."

Without giving Elizabeth time to say anything else, Eve jumped down from the window of the inner castle in a very ungraceful manner. The moment she landed, she and the two weapon elves disappeared in the light of the teleportation magic.

"..."

Elizabeth was stunned for a moment after seeing Eve's actions, and then she sighed softly after a long time.

"I still need my daughter's care. I'm really not a qualified mother..."

On the other side, Eve had also arrived near the dangerous area of ​​scorching fire through teleportation magic. Just as she was about to take out the map to compare her current location, she found that it was no longer necessary - at this moment, the distant sky had been dyed red by the rising flames.

There is no doubt that that is the location of the dangerous place of scorching fire, and it is also the place where the inspection team is trapped.

The so-called dangerous places, as the name suggests, are a general term for areas that are not suitable for human survival due to some factors. This factor may be powerful monsters, the power of nature, or some other factors.

There are not many dangerous places caused by powerful monsters in the blood clan territory. After all, if such dangerous places are too close to towns, the danger is too great, so they have basically been wiped out, leaving only a few dangerous places with monsters located in deep mountains and forests.

The scorching dangerous place that Eve is heading to this time is an extremely active super-large volcanic area.

Judging from the scene from a distance, a riot probably broke out over there. She didn't know whether it was a coincidence or was deliberately instigated by the group of demon believers. According to her sixth sense, the latter was more likely.

"Viya, Arcana, please return to the seal for now. We need to speed up."

"Ok!"

Knowing the urgency of the situation, Arcana and Ilvia, who usually didn't like to return to the seal, naturally didn't make a fuss at this time and just went back to the seal obediently.

However, before returning to the mark, Ilvia summoned some of her weapons and attached them to Eve. Several pieces of golden armor appeared on her elbows, wrists, and knees, protecting her joints.

"call…"

Taking a deep breath, Eve lowered her body, then suddenly jumped high. Accompanied by a powerful shock wave spreading out in all directions and the sonic boom produced when breaking the sound barrier, Eve jumped directly into the sky.

Then, with the help of magic, she formed a fulcrum under her feet in the air and slightly adjusted the angle. With a pair of blood-red bat wings spread behind her, Eve flew towards the fire in the sky like a red meteor.

—·—·—·—·—·—·—

On the other side, in the scorching dangerous area, the inspection team members were in danger.

"Charlotte! How's it going? Did it get sent out?"

On the battlefield where magma was erupting wantonly, a woman was struggling to resist the enemy's attack while shouting angrily.

"I was interrupted! But Her Majesty should have received it!"

The woman named Charlotte was holding a broken communication crystal in her hand. There was an obvious crack on the crystal, which seemed to be the reason for the communication interruption just now.

"Tsk, how much news has spread!"

"Just when we were talking about the transmission being blocked, we were interrupted!"

"Tsk!"

After hearing Charlotte's answer, the woman who was fighting with the enemy seemed even more irritated. The blood-colored aura on her body suddenly burst out for a moment, forcibly repelling the enemy surrounded by black power in front of her and retreating to the rear. Then another member of the inspection team rushed forward to take her place, and she retreated to the rear for a short rest.

There were five enemies surrounding them.

Looking at the current situation, Daphne was in a very irritable mood during the break. Initially, their team found some clues of the devil's followers outside the dangerous area of ​​​​Scorching Flame, extending all the way to the interior of the dangerous area. After some thought, as the captain, she decided to explore deeper into it.

The inspection team has not been able to produce any results since its establishment several months ago, and has been criticized by some people. As the team leader, she is a little anxious to produce some results. Moreover, even if an accident really happens, they have teleportation stones for emergency avoidance, so they can escape even if they cannot win.

But it was her arrogance that caused them to be trapped and killed in this scorching hell.

Everything went smoothly at first after entering the dangerous area. They quickly caught up with the tail of the demon believer in the dangerous area, and finally caught up with him after going deep into the dangerous area for a distance.

Although there were some minor setbacks during the period, overall it can be said that there were no major problems.

But then an accident happened - the devil's followers hiding in the dark used some unknown means to cause the entire dangerous area to go out of control. Countless hot magma gushed out from the ground, along with a large amount of hot and pungent gas and smoke.

What was worse was that four more demon believers jumped out from nowhere and attacked them together with the original demon believer.

At first they tried to resist, but then they found that the opponent's self-healing speed was even far beyond that of themselves as vampires. The vampires, who were famous for their war of attrition, were defeated by the opponent in the area they were best at.

Unlike Eve, who is a member of the royal family of the vampire clan and has sufficient magical powers, the ordinary vampires do not have such strong self-healing abilities, so they gradually fall into a disadvantage in the battle.

But when they were about to use the teleportation stone to leave here, they received even worse news - the space here had been completely blocked at some point, and they could not leave through teleportation magic, which also meant that reinforcements could not arrive in time.

In desperation, they had to use the communication crystal to ask for help from the imperial city, but even the message for help was interrupted by the group of demon believers.

Even with their magical attainments, they were unable to send out communications that could bypass the interference of the demon's followers. For a moment, the situation had become desperate.

At this moment, all they can do is to hold on with all their strength and pray that reinforcements will arrive in time.

§ 36 Desperate Situation

"Ka-ka-ka, you still won't give up? Don't even think about anyone coming to save you."

Compared to the patrol team members who could only take a defensive stance, the five demon believers who besieged them seemed very calm and composed, acting as if they were teasing their prey. Even after injuring their opponents, they were not in a hurry to chase them, but let them take turns to rest and took the opportunity to mock them.

Not far away, a recording crystal was silently recording the tragic situation of several members of the inspection team for later dissemination.

After all, in their eyes, these people are just trapped beasts fighting hard and can no longer cause any waves. They just want to use this ambush to let the inspection team see what the final outcome will be if they become their enemy.

As for reinforcements? Ha, don't joke. This scorching and dangerous place is now in full swing. Even if you have a certain level of strength, just trying to force your way in will take a lot of time.

As for those who lack strength and still rely on numbers to charge in? Then prepare to be engulfed by the gushing lava wave.

And to be on the safe side, they also set up a detection barrier around the dangerous area. Once someone breaks through the warning barrier, they will be notified immediately. At that time, they will have enough time to kill these people and then retreat calmly with the cover of the dangerous area.

"Dream on, you gutter rats!"

After roaring back at the ridicule of the Demon God's followers, Daphne returned to the front line after a short rest and replaced the team member who was already unable to hold on.

As the captain, she is the strongest among the people present, so she also bears the most pressure.

"Don't think that killing us will make Her Majesty give up the pursuit! You will be caught sooner or later!"

"Hehehe, that's quite strong."

But in the face of Daphne's anger, the figures in front of her, shrouded in black energy, only made hoarse and harsh laughs.

"I hope you can still be so stubborn after receiving the Lord God's blessing."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, it's almost done, let's get rid of them."

It seemed that they had had enough fun and had enough images to spread, so the leader of the demon believers suddenly issued an order.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the black aura of the other demon god believers suddenly surged.

"Huh?! Get rid of us? You think you're...Ku!!!"

After hearing the words of the figure in front, before Daphne could curse back, she was hit hard in the abdomen, and was directly knocked to the side of the team members who were resting at the back. Almost at the same time, the other four team members were also knocked away by the sudden outburst of the opponent, and crashed into the back together, collapsing on the ground and losing the ability to move.

"Okay, the game is over ladies."

As he spoke, a follower of the demon god walked towards the patrol team not far away, whose members had all lost their combat effectiveness, with a ferocious smile on their face.

As if to enjoy their terrified expressions, he walked very slowly, as if he was the slowly approaching god of death, slow but unstoppable.

But suddenly he stopped, as if he had noticed something, and there was a hint of surprise in his tone.

"! The barrier has been broken, someone is coming!"

After hearing his words, the light of hope shone in the eyes of the inspection team again, but at this moment, this devil believer ruthlessly tore apart this ray of hope.

"Don't dream, ladies. I was just lying to you."

After saying these sarcastic words word by word, the man's smile grew wider as he admired the people in front of him falling into despair again. He couldn't wait to taste this supreme dish of despair.

But in the next moment, he flew sideways and slammed heavily into a lava pool in the distance.

Then came the loud explosion and the reminder that the warning barrier was broken.

"Hey, my team members are grateful for your care."

Before he could react to what was happening, a voice filled with anger reached his ears.

Subconsciously looking in the direction of the voice, he saw a petite woman with silver hair and red eyes floating where he was just now. The golden armor on her body looked particularly dazzling under the reflection of the surrounding magma, and a pair of huge blood-red bat wings behind her were flapping slowly.

In front of the members of the inspection team, a black-haired woman holding a strange blade appeared and opened a shield for them to block the impact. At the same time, another silver-haired little loli was treating them who had just been seriously injured.

"Princess, Your Highness!"

Looking at the iconic silver hair and bloodshot eyes of the person coming from mid-air, one of the team members couldn't help but exclaim.

Although they had heard that the princess was the nominal leader of their inspection team, they had not expected that Her Royal Highness the Princess would come all the way from the imperial city to help them.

"Is everything okay?"

Eve said as she looked at everyone inside the barrier.

"Yes, yes! Everybody's fine."

The team members were very excited when they heard Eve's words. Some of those who were less seriously injured even struggled to stand up and salute, but were pushed back by Ilvia.

"Okay, don't be so reserved, just be like usual."

Seeing this, Eve smiled slightly and comforted him softly.

"Yes Yes!"

In contrast to their joyful situation, the faces of several demon believers turned grim when they saw Eve's arrival. After all, the person in front of them was the culprit who caused them to be exposed and hunted, and even many of the relationships they had worked so hard to establish were frightened and cut off.

In the end, it was the demon follower who was leading the group, suppressing the uneasiness in his heart and breaking the silence first.

"Heh, isn't this the Princess of our vampire clan? I never thought Elizabeth would actually send you on this dangerous journey alone. Could it be that the rumors that you were born from the First Embrace of the human race are true?"

"Huh? You're risking your life alone? With just a few of you?"

Eve couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard his words. Even if one lacks self-awareness, there must be a limit. Or is it that feeling good about oneself is a common trait among these followers of the devil?

"!"

Hearing Eve's ridicule, the demon follower who had just pretended to be calm suddenly became gloomy.

"Indeed, a few of us alone may not be worthy of Your Highness's approval, but please remember where we are!"

As he said this, a wave of energy emanated from his body, and several deafening explosions were heard in the dangerous area of ​​​​Scorching Flame. Then a violent vibration came from the ground under everyone's feet.

"It's true that just a few of us alone aren't enough, but what if we add this entire dangerous situation?"

As his words fell, the dangerous place with scorching flames, which had already been in a state of rampage, erupted completely. Countless hot magma broke through the strata and gushed out into the sky, turning the entire dangerous place into a purgatory.

From afar, the sky above the scorching dangerous land had turned a crimson red, and thick smoke continued to rise, turning into a huge column of smoke that went straight into the clouds.

At the same time, as the magma continued to gush out, the temperature in the dangerous area continued to rise at a terrifying rate. At this time, even a simple breath seemed to be burned by the hot air.

"Come on! Princess, show us how you will surpass this might under our siege!"

At the end of his words, the man could no longer conceal the sarcasm in his tone.

"Oh, sorry, I almost forgot your purpose when I saw you saving that bunch of rubbish."

Then the man's voice suddenly became sinister.

"on!"

Following his order, the other four followers of the Demon God also burst out with a black aura that was far stronger than when they defeated the patrol team members. Several of them directly surrounded them from the front, back, left and right.

At the same time, the man who seemed to be the leader jumped high, and a column of lava pressed down from above Eve with overwhelming force.
