I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

"Okay, let her come out and talk to you next. I'm sure you have something to tell her."

After venting her dissatisfaction, the Goddess of Light simply handed over control of her body to the God of Creation.

Although Eve didn't bring it up for the time being, the Goddess of Light knew that with Eve's nature of never visiting someone for no reason, she would definitely come to see the God of Creation on this trip.

"Well..."

Faced with the decisive attitude of the Goddess of Light, Eve smiled awkwardly, but did not refute. After all, in addition to inviting her to participate in the festival, another purpose of her trip was to confirm the situation of the world barrier with the God of Creation again.

This concerns the safety of the entire world. Although there are alternative plans as insurance in case of accidents, it is better to avoid accidents if possible.

Her fully sealed posture was still too dangerous for the middle layer of the Infinite Void. It could be said that she had to be careful even when breathing.

"Hmph, I knew it."

Finally, she snorted softly, and then the Goddess of Light closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, although there was no change in her appearance, her temperament, which was completely different from before, showed that it was now the God of Creation who was controlling her body. One could not help but sigh at the huge difference in their temperaments.

"Nice to meet you again, Eve and my sister."

His eyes swept over Eve and Istina in turn, and the God of Creation nodded at them with a gentle smile, and then smiled at the remaining three people in turn.

"Is Eve still going to ask about the World Barrier this time?"

"Almost. But it's not just about the World Barrier. If the situation over there isn't urgent, how about coming to the festival in three days?"

"Hmm...Okay, I'll go to the festival then."

Upon hearing Eve's invitation, the God of Creation thought for a while, as if calculating the situation of the world barrier, and then nodded and accepted Eve's invitation.

Here, the Creator God said that she would also go, which actually meant that she would temporarily condense a body to participate in the ceremony, rather than sharing one body with the Goddess of Light.

"That's good, that way everyone can be here."

As a festival that also serves as a celebration, no one would intend to miss this event, except for the God of Creation who might be busy repairing the world's barriers.

Clapping her hands lightly, Eve once again brought the topic back to the World Barrier.

"What's the situation over there at the barrier? Is the void that's used for shielding still in good condition? Are there any signs of void beasts?"

"Everything is normal, just as Eve estimated. It's enough to last until the World Barrier is reforged. I haven't seen any Void Beasts circling around."

"As long as there are no accidents."

After listening to the reply from the God of Creation, Eve nodded slightly. For the infinite void filled with all kinds of surprises, everything being normal was already the best news, and everything going well was something she could not even imagine.

"Then I won't disturb your rest. See you at the festival in three days?"

Since the Goddess of Light had just brought back the God of Creation from the World Barrier, the God of Creation was currently in the process of repairing the World Barrier and needed to rest. Therefore, Eve did not intend to waste his time any longer and ended the topic after finishing the business.

"Yeah, see you at the festival."

Finally, she smiled at everyone, and then the Goddess of Light took back control of her body.

"Have you finished talking about business?"

The Goddess of Light asked with a slightly stronger tone.

"!"

"Um...haha, um...you don't mind if I stay for a meal?"

Faced with this question that would not be answered in a favorable way no matter how she answered it, Eve decisively chose to avoid it and instead asked a question that was obviously a deliberate one.

Although escaping is shameful, it is effective.

“…Please sit down.”

Fortunately, the Goddess of Light only expressed a little dissatisfaction and did not intend to make any further entanglement.

So everyone enjoyed a sumptuous lunch at the residence of the Goddess of Light.

§ Epilogue 5 Festival

Three days later, at the World Tree Royal Court.

"Hurry up! We need a few more people to help here!"

“Okay! Here we go!”

The World Tree Royal Court, this peaceful and tranquil holy land of the elves, became lively again today after a long absence. Many elves were running on the giant tree, doing the final finishing work for the upcoming ceremony.

At the top of the giant tree, the mother of elves, Melcelis, the god of elves, Melhis, and the holy weapon contractor of the elves, Mellia, were already waiting there in their best attire, awaiting everyone's arrival.

"Time is up."

Looking at the meeting place in front of her, Melcelis suddenly spoke softly.

As soon as she finished speaking, three teleportation magic circles appeared on the leaves not far from her, and several figures slowly emerged from the dazzling light.

"Huh—this place has changed a lot."

After taking a quick look around at the surrounding scenery, Ilovilin, the God of the Blood Clan, who was wearing a night-colored dress and had her silver hair casually draped over her back, spoke in a low voice with a sense of nostalgia.

Different from the black and red dresses commonly worn by vampires today, the dress worn by the vampire god was pure black, as deep as a piece of the night sky, highlighting her slender waist. The jet-black silk covering her delicate body made her arms look especially white and smooth.

Perhaps the only slight flaw is the iconic flat body of the vampire royal family in front of her, or is she the source of the vampire royal family's flat fate?

However, the God of Blood was not without other colors on her body. A necklace inlaid with blood-red gems hung in front of her, like a red moon hanging in the night sky, mysterious and with a sense of tranquility polished by time.

"Have you ever been here before?"

Elizabeth, the current Queen of the Blood Clan, asked casually from half a step behind Ilovilin.

"Yeah, that was a long time ago."

With a bit of nostalgia in her eyes, Ilovilin nodded but said nothing more. She just looked at Melchis in front of her and nodded slightly.

In addition to the two of them, Evangeline, the Holy Weapon Contractor of the Blood Clan, also came with them. This place was quite familiar to her. After all, she had been here several times during the Dark Age. Unlike Ilovilin, she was looking at her former comrades.

On the left side of the two, the tall figure of the Beast King Bestia also appeared there, but this time there was also a Holy Weapon Contractor of the Beast Clan who came to the World Tree Royal Court.

Although the elves have a rule prohibiting men from entering, it is impossible to exclude them in such an occasion, so they can only make a small concession.

On the other side were the God of Creation, the Goddess of Light, and the Holy Swordsman Firiel.

In fact, everyone originally planned to let the God of Creation and Eve and the others appear together as the finale. Although the God of Creation did not directly participate in the final battle, if it were not for her previous fighting, I am afraid that people today would not have the opportunity to fight in the final battle. And there were not many casualties in the final battle thanks to the automatic resurrection magic circle provided by the God of Creation. Therefore, the God of Creation is the hero second only to Eve and the others.

But when Eve ran to tell the God of Creation the news and asked her what she thought, she declined. So theoretically, only Eve and the other two were left to make the final appearance.

However, with the God of Creation's voluntary withdrawal, Eve came up with a new idea, which directly changed the nature of this so-called finale appearance. Even Melshia, who was originally going to greet them on the elves' side, was pulled over by her. No one knew what she was going to do. Whenever someone asked about it, she mysteriously evaded the question by claiming it was a secret.

The God of Creation, Elizabeth, and Melchis were revealed some inside information to avoid any difficulties in cooperating at that time, but they did not say anything to anyone else. Therefore, no one knew what Eve and the others were planning to do at the moment.

After everyone arrived at the World Tree Royal Court, they exchanged a few pleasantries and then came to the real venue through the teleportation magic set up inside the giant tree.

The layout here is somewhat similar to the shape of a pyramid. The huge leaves are stacked and intertwined, forming the venue of the ceremony. The sunlight shines through the gaps in the crowns of the giant trees, which looks quite peaceful. At dusk or at night when there is insufficient sunlight, the lighting will be transformed into luminous plants growing everywhere, which is also very special.

At the moment, Melceris, Elizabeth and the others are at the very top of the pyramid. Further down are visitors from various tribes and elves who come to participate in the festival, as well as the main area of ​​the festival. Led by the elves, food, games, etc. from other tribes will be spread out here until the end of the festival. The entire festival venue is stacked up like this on the giant tree.

After the initial speeches, Merceris and the others would come down to participate in the ceremony and have some fun with the people.

But don't even think about participating in the whole process. After all, they are a group of people who are busy with many things and can only relax for a while.

According to the process of previous festivals, the host, Merceris, would first give a speech, followed by Elizabeth and Bestia taking turns, and then the festival would begin and everyone would have fun on their own.

But this festival was a little bit special, for no other reason than that there were hundreds of millions more heavyweights coming this time, and there were as many as four god-level beings alone.

Now that this mythological era has long ended, excluding Istina, the God of Destruction who has not yet appeared, it is estimated that there are only a few gods like these in the world, but now they are all here.

If we add the three chiefs of the Melceris clan and the four holy weapon contractors headed by Firiel, if they still want to take turns giving speeches like last time, it will probably be too late by the time the speeches are over. If we also take Eve's plan into account, the opening ceremony time of the festival will be doubled.

However, since the era of gods had long ended, the gods, except for the Goddess of Light, did not want to show up in public. Therefore, after considering everyone's opinions, the person who would give the opening speech for the festival this time, in addition to the routine patriarchs of the three tribes, was only Firiel.

As for the Goddess of Light, the only one among all the gods who wanted to show her face, she was forcibly suppressed by the other three gods who relied on their large numbers. It can be said that she was very depressed.

§ Post-Talk 6 Speech

pop- pop-

As the applause, amplified by magic, spread throughout the festival venue, the originally noisy crowd immediately quieted down. Regardless of their race, the guests all looked upwards, where a huge half-body projection of the Elves Mother Melceris had already appeared in the air.

There have been some brainless and tactless guys who jumped out to cause trouble at this time, but the next second they were rushed over and sent away "peacefully" by a group of elves, and they were also given a gift package for settling accounts afterwards, so since then no one dared to do anything at this time.

"Welcome everyone to the Elven Festival. I am Melceris, the Elven leader."

The shadow of Merceris glanced around at the people below and continued.

"Although some unexpected events occurred during the recent festival, and a lot has happened since then, I am still very happy that you can visit this World Tree Royal Court again now that everything is over."

Most of the visitors below were familiar faces, but there were also some absentees. After all, the abyss wave caused by the demon god still caused certain casualties in various parts of the continent.

However, these guests who were unable to come again had nothing to do with the previous Demon God's raid on the World Tree Royal Court, because the elves were very well prepared that time and transferred these people to a safe place almost as soon as the attack began. Many of them only learned how fierce the battle that broke out in the World Tree Royal Court was afterwards.

"This festival is slightly different from previous ones. Besides being a celebration of the elves' festival, it's also held to completely eradicate the threat of the demon gods. From now on, the continent will no longer be threatened by the demon gods and the abyss."

Most of the people below have only recently learned that the Demon God is not dead. In addition, the final decisive battle may not feel real without spectators. However, when it comes to the threat of the abyss, it is different. After all, the tragedy of the first abyss wave and the Far West Front that has lasted for a thousand years are real threats hanging over the continent.

So when they heard Merceris publicly announce that the threat of the abyss had completely disappeared, there was still a slight commotion below, but it soon subsided.

"Then I hope everyone can enjoy this slightly different festival."

Merceris emphasized the word "different" slightly in her voice, but she did not immediately stop the topic. Instead, she continued with a mysterious smile.

"By the way, there will be a special guest giving a speech soon, so please look forward to it."

After saying this, Merceris's shadow disappeared, and the next thing that appeared was the sturdy projection of the Beast King Bestia.

Well, to be honest, for the Beast King, this kind of opening speech is not his forte, so to use high EQ words, it is to highlight a speed run.

"I'm Bestia, invited by Merceris to attend the festival. I hope you all enjoy it. I won't say much more. The next speaker will be our special guest, so don't be too surprised."

After saying that, Bestia quickly and decisively removed the projection.

Looking at the projection of the Beast King disappearing in the sky and listening to the echoes that were still echoing in the air, the guests below could be roughly divided into two groups: those who were confused and those who were used to it.

The ones who looked confused were naturally the people who came to the festival for the first time, while the ones who were not surprised at all were the guests and elves who had participated in the festival before.

That's right, this is almost the case every time the Beast King gave a speech at the ceremony. According to incomplete statistics from gossipers, he never said more than three sentences at most. Every time he gave a speech, he would only say two sentences before hurriedly turning the topic over to Elizabeth to end it. Over time, some regulars became accustomed to it.

After all, it is too difficult to ask a guy like Bestia to suppress his temper and give a speech.

But this time seemed different? After all, judging by the Beast King's words, it wasn't the Blood Clan Queen Elizabeth who came to clean up after him this time. But besides her, who else had the qualifications to stand on equal footing with the clan leaders?

Thinking of this, the people below couldn't help but feel a little curious about the next person to appear.

But as a new shadow rose into the air, everyone's curiosity quickly turned into confusion - who is this person?

The phantom had long blue-purple hair and a faint smile on his face. He looked gentle and approachable, but he did not match any of the powerful people active on the continent, which made everyone confused.

There was no doubt that the person who appeared before everyone was Filier.

Although her name and deeds are absolutely known to everyone, due to the Dark Age and the subsequent outbreak of the first Abyss Wave, few people know the image of this Holy Swordsman.

Even among the immortal elves, only a few people, such as Melcelis, have seen Firiel in person.

Therefore, for the vast majority of people, the four participants in the war against the demon gods are just a name that exists in the legend. Only hearing of their names but not knowing their appearance can be said to be the most appropriate adjective.

Just as everyone below was whispering, Filier also spoke.

"Hello everyone, I'm sure you're all curious about my identity?"

After saying that, Feilier didn't keep anyone in suspense and directly revealed her identity to everyone.

"I'm Firiel, or as you might be more familiar with me, I was a member of the team that participated in the Demon God subjugation war during the Dark Age. The weapon spirit I've contracted with is none other than the Holy Sword Ilvey."

"..."

After Feilier finished her self-introduction, everyone who was originally whispering froze in place almost at the same time, as if they had not yet realized the amount of information in Feilier's words. They were stunned for a long time before returning to their previous state. However, this time their topic had shifted from Feilier's identity to the authenticity of the other party's words.

"Now, do you think what she said is true?"

"Should...right? After all, we have Merceris-sama and the others as guarantors."

"Then how did she survive all the way from then until now? She looks like a human, but humans can only live for a short time, right?"

"I don't know... maybe she has some special reason? Or maybe it's because of the holy sword? After all, it's normal for such a powerful weapon spirit to have some special features."
