I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

Well, it’s a familiar feeling again. Wait, why did I say again?

Feeling the weight on her and her arms that had long lost consciousness, Eve sighed helplessly, but frowned again.

The weight on her body seemed off, and it was obvious that there was more than just Ilvia. Thinking of this, Eve immediately looked at Arcana, who had a criminal record.

"Arkana? Hey, I'm here."

At this moment, Arcana was sleeping beside her and didn't look like he was going to wake up.

"So what's this on me...Lucia?"

Eve's words were filled with doubt at the end, but since the other options had been ruled out, there was only one possibility left.

But then again, why does Lucia like to hold her while sleeping just like Viya?

Eve moved her body backwards a little helplessly, and tried hard to look at herself. Then she fell into a speechless state, not knowing what to say.

How to describe her current situation? Simply put, Lucia was sleeping soundly on her body, and Ilvia was sleeping in her arms, and she also hugged Eve's left arm. Ilvia was sleeping on Eve and hugged Lucia with her backhand, with Eve's right arm tucked in her arms.

It can be said that the two people, along with Eve's arm, were completely twisted together. It would be a miracle if they could still be conscious.

"Ugh."

With a helpless sigh, Eve began to shake her body gently.

"Wake up, wake up, Weiya, Lucia~"

"Um...Sister Eve?"

"Eve?"

Looking at the two little ones on her body who were still drowsy, Eve felt a little reluctant to wake them up forcibly but she continued speaking.

"Anyway, please let go of my arms first, okay~"

"Eh? Oh, I'm sorry! Sister Eve, I don't know what's going on."

After realizing that she was in such an indecent state, Lucia quickly let go of Eve's arm, got off her and lay on the bed, apologizing continuously.

As for the other habitual offender, he looked indifferent. As usual, he slowly let go of Eve's arm and sat on the bed in a daze.

"It's okay. Wei Ya does this every day. I'm almost used to it."

While shaking her numb arms vigorously, Eve comforted Lucia, who felt a little guilty.

"Okay, get up. It's time to go pick up your sister Tina from school. The sisters are about to leave again."

"Hey, Sister Eve is only coming back for one day?"

Lucia seemed a little disappointed when she heard that Eve was leaving again.

"Well... because my sisters have a very important matter to deal with right now, but don't worry, my sisters will try to visit little Lucia more often."

After thinking for a moment, Eve replied.

"must?"

"Definitely."

Eve smiled and rubbed Lucia's little head, then kissed her cheek.

"Okay, Lucia, go change your clothes, and Arcana, get up."

Finally, Eve woke up Arcana who was still sleeping beside her.

"Um... Master?"

"Get up, it's time to go."

"Oh, okay~ yawn~"

So, we arrived at the school gate a little later.

At this time, Istina had already been waiting here with the children from the monastery. When she saw Eve coming, she squatted down and said a few words to the children in turn before walking over. Eve also gently patted Lucia's shoulder.

"Okay, go to class with them. The sisters are leaving soon."

"Well, then sisters, please come and visit us again!"

"Don't worry, sure."

The children from the monastery nearby also looked reluctant to leave and kept waving to Istina.

"Well, see you next time. 『Teleport』"

Accompanied by the dazzling white light, the figures of Eve and her group disappeared in the light.

Just like that, the halftime break ended and life in the rainforest began again.

§ 93 Daily Training

"Ten, Ten Directions Thunder Prison Realm!"

Facing the attack from Eve, Istina panicked and used the barrier magic that had just been broken to try to delay some time.

"Too slow, 'Ten Directions Hellfire Realm'!"

In the demiplane, Eve and Istina were conducting magic combat training. As Eve's barrier magic overwhelmed Istina's barrier, this training came to an end with Istina's defeat.

"Ahh, I'm no match for the hero after all."

Looking at Eve's expressionless face after the battle, Istina said helplessly.

"Tina, your progress is very fast. After all, you haven't been exposed to offensive magic before."

This was not because Eve was intentionally exaggerating, but the speed of Istina's progress really surprised her. She had hardly any contact with high-level offensive magic before, but she was still making rapid progress. She could even cast magic without relying on complicated chanting.

"Well, that's true, but how can I help the hero?"

After hearing what Eve said, Istina still seemed a little disappointed. After all, her goal was to be able to fight alongside her brave master, but now it seemed that it would be a long time before she could catch up with Eve.

"Well... Tina doesn't have to be as strong as me to help me. After all, I'm only one person. There are always things I can't take care of, or things I'm not good at. When that happens, I'll have to ask Viya for help."

"Well! Then, I will protect the people and things that the hero cares about!"

"Okay~ I'll leave it to you then~"

Then Eve changed the subject.

"Okay, that's all for tonight's training. Go back to sleep. I'll continue teaching you about multicasting techniques tomorrow morning."

"Ah."

With that, the two of them left the demiplane, returned to the tree house and crawled into their sleeping bags. Just like that, a day passed.

After returning to the rainforest from the Chamber of Commerce, Istina's life basically became: Eve taught her the theory of offensive magic in the morning, and she and Dier conducted reaction training in the rainforest in the afternoon. In the evening, Eve personally trained her in magic combat in the demiplane.

During this period, under Eve's guidance, Istina adjusted Eve's barrier magic needle to her own situation, turning it into the Ten Directions Thunder Prison Realm that suits her. This also gave her a certain understanding of the development of barrier magic and laid some foundation for her future development. However, it is still a long way for Istina to be able to complete the development of the entire magic independently.

As for the adjustments to the Prison Flame Star, Eve is carrying them out in an orderly manner. After all, she is the person who knows this magic best. So far, the progress is going smoothly, and if nothing unexpected happens, the adjustments can be successful.

Among these three daily trainings, the progress in learning magic theory is the most gratifying. Although she still cannot perform multiple spells, Istina can now skip the chanting and complete the spell directly by drawing the magic circle.

By the way, the so-called drawing of a magic circle to cast a spell is actually just a figurative way of description. It does not mean that you need to draw the entire magic circle completely without missing any details like when depicting a fixed magic circle, but it can be completed with a wave of the hand just like drawing a picture.

The key point of this spellcasting technique is to control the magic power at your fingertips while waving your hands to form a tiny simplified magic circle and then infuse magic power to complete the activation. It is a great test of the magician's ability to control subtle magic power.

If combined with multiple spellcasting, it is the fighting style of those powerful magicians, that is, barrage bombardment. Take Eve for example, she can just wave her hand to perform the Hellfire Star Hundred Doors Opening, but at present, there is no opponent worthy of her doing so. After all, what's the point of performing the Hundred Doors Opening if she can't even withstand one shot.

Of course, it is best not to encounter such an opponent.

Then came the afternoon special training for Istina and Dier. Well, they were still steadily improving and keeping a clean sheet. Eve had said that she would take over later, but now it seems that there is no chance.

Although Istina can now release a lot of attack magic, she is facing Dier who has the ability to be immune to magic. Even the effect of the annihilation feature is minimal and can be directly neutralized by Dier by consuming magic power.

How should I put it? Die'er is indeed a killer-level existence for magicians. I feel that in the future, when dealing with magicians, we only need to send Die out to kill them instantly. After all, long-range ineffective contact will result in death.

As for the final evening magic training session, needless to say, Eve and Dier in the afternoon once again gave Istina a shutout.

Although Eve and Istina have a sweet relationship, she will not show any mercy during training. Of course, this refers to the level of seriousness, not the power of the attack, otherwise it would be murdering his wife.

Well, sometimes having a sparring partner who is too strong can really undermine one's confidence. It's just that Istina's determination to become stronger is strong enough, otherwise someone else would have given up long ago under these repeated blows.

Her two sparring partners, Dier, a super antique, although he has been sealed for a long time, is also a big shot who has existed long before the Dark Age, and his way of existence is extremely special. He has a thousand faces and can even use thousands of threads to analyze the current situation and battle conditions from different angles at the same time, and choose the most favorable solution.

As for the other sparring partner, Eve, she had extremely rich combat experience during her brave days and was able to cut through magic with a holy sword. After being embraced for the first time, she made up for her previous shortcomings in magic. While possessing the strength to defeat ten opponents with one force, her control over details was not weak at all.

Well, as long as she doesn't give up halfway, once Istina graduates from their special training (torture), she will probably be among the top in the continent.

And this may not be the end. If Istina becomes a contracted weapon elf at the awakening ceremony in a few months, she will probably have to take an additional sword class, and Eve will probably still be the instructor. It can only be said that the road ahead is very difficult.

By the way, when practicing magic, due to the annihilation characteristics of Istina's magic, the speed at which the practice props purchased by Eve were consumed can be said to be like water. In the blink of an eye, nearly half of them were consumed, far exceeding that of ordinary people. Fortunately, as Istina's control ability became stronger, the consumption speed slowed down. Otherwise, Eve would probably have to go to the Chamber of Commerce to purchase additional ones.

In this way, although she was tortured by the two big guys in turn every day, Istina's strength was steadily improving. Perhaps in the near future we will see the day when she fights side by side with Eve.

§ 94 Relics

One afternoon

"Lightning Flash"

As Istina shouted, red lightning was released from her fingertips, wiping away the bushes and weeds in front of her, revealing the Burial Butterfly hidden among them.

Although the annihilation feature is ineffective against Dier itself, it is still good for clearing vision.

"found it!"

But Istina, who had been tricked by Dier countless times, was not in a hurry to catch the exposed Dier. Instead, she vigilantly sent out several lightning flashes in all directions to test whether it was another trap.

After some unsuccessful attempts, she rushed towards Dier, accumulating red thunder in her hands.

“First point!”

The next moment after touching Dier, Istina slammed the thunder ball in her hand to the ground to prevent an ambush from below.

But this time, what was revealed under the disappearing soil layer was not rock but traces of some kind of metal structure.

"Eh?"

Looking at the creation in front of her, Istina froze in place for a moment, forgetting all about training. It looked like she had accidentally dug up something?

Everything in front of him was seen by Dier, who was hiding somewhere. She flew over quietly and began to observe the objects exposed underground.

So later in the tree house, after listening to Istina's story, Eve asked.

"Hmm, so you two accidentally discovered ancient ruins buried underground during your training?"

"Ah."

Istina nodded and continued.

"I originally thought it was just some buried object, but after using Oblivion to clear some of the soil, I realized it might be ridiculously large, so I thought it might be a relic or something."

After accidentally discovering the metal product, Istina cleaned up the area of ​​ten meters square with it as the center. However, she still could not see the whole picture of the thing. Fearing that something unexpected might happen if she continued, she came back to ask Eve for advice.

"Hmm...it should be a ruin, right? Let's go and take a look."

There are some ancient ruins in the territory of the vampires, and Eve has also seen information about them in the materials. Depending on the time of construction, these ruins may remain on the ground or be buried deep underground. Generally speaking, the closer the ruins are to the mythological era, the more special they will be.

Due to the Dark Ages, these relics of the Age of Gods are often better preserved because they are buried deep underground, while the relics on the ground are basically just a pile of broken walls and ruins, and it is hard to say whether the shadow of the relics can be seen.

Take the metal relics discovered by Istina this time as an example. This is very likely a relic that is very close to the mythological era and is relatively well preserved.

Of course, the intactness here refers to the appearance. Whether the actual functions can work depends on luck. After all, the long time is still very ruthless.

So Eve and her group came to the metal creation discovered by Istina and began to investigate.

clang clang

Bending down, Eve gently tapped the exposed metal part a few times. The feeling she felt was very special. Although it looked like it was made of metal, it didn't feel like it. Instead, it felt a bit soft.

Then Eve released her senses and began to explore the size of the creation.

"Wow."

Eve couldn't help but exclaim in amazement as she sensed the size of the creature beneath her feet.
