I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

Red and black lightning was released from Istina's fingertips, and at the same time, fine red lightning around the barrier also wrapped around it. It was an amplified version of the Black Prison Lightning that made the elite private soldiers lose their combat effectiveness with just one strike.

But facing her attack, Andrik just rushed forward regardless, as if he wanted to break through the attack of Black Prison Lightning.

Then, just before he was hit—

brush

His figure teleported directly to the hound that was out of attack range, and then he continued to charge forward and approached Istina directly.

"Eh!"

Faced with his move, Istina was obviously panicked for a moment, but she still subconsciously burst out with the magic of annihilation. After all, Eve once said that if Tina encountered an unexpected situation in the battle and had no time to react, she could just burst out with the magic of annihilation.

Sword Skill: Shadow

Looking at the magic layer on Istina's body, Andric frowned, but he had to continue attacking. With the sword in his hand and the hound, they surrounded Istina from all sides and attacked her at the same time, trying to find the weak point in her defense.

But the dazzling sword shadows and ferocious hounds were completely destroyed again the moment they came into contact with the magic power on Istina's body. They were unable to offer even a trace of resistance. Even the attacks that hit various parts of her body at the same time did not have any effect on her defense.

Eve had already conducted a test. Istina's magic power covered her entire body without any flaws. She could only break through head-on by consuming each other or hedging. There was no skill involved.

This is also the reason why she would let Istina out for training without worry. Unless the opponent is of the same level as Istina, in an emergency, she only needs to hold her head and crouch down to defend herself, and she will be able to survive. At most, she will look a little less majestic.

The Ace's attack was completely ineffective, and the power of the weapon spirit was exposed. The long sword in his hand was once again destroyed by the power of annihilation. Andrik had no other means at this time. After holding on for a while, Istina seized the opportunity and ended the battle with a Hellfire Star.

§ 123 Shocking Changes [Fifth Update]

"Hmm... not bad. Except for the fact that I forgot to check my surroundings when I left the barrier and got ambushed, everything else is fine."

Seeing the battle over, Eve also commented on Istina's performance.

"But this guy is just a discarded pawn."

As Eve spoke, her eyes looked towards the hidden corners outside the barrier. There were swordsmen hiding at the sides in these places. Even though Andrik was in danger just now, they had no intention of rescuing him. Perhaps they wanted to launch an unsportsmanlike sneak attack or a round-robin attack or something?

The auras on them were stronger than Andrick's just now. It seemed that Andrick was just a pathfinder, used by them to test Istina's strength.

Or were they waiting for her to be the main event? After all, she had just shattered all the family's fixed magic with a single strike. However, if the imaginary enemy was her, then these people would be a bit underwhelming.

"Forget it, let's see how far Tina can go."

Since there was no sign of the demon's followers yet, Eve decided to let Istina continue practicing. After all, this kind of actual combat opportunity where you don't have to hold back and don't have to worry about getting hurt is quite rare.

The only problem is that Istina might be beaten up by a group of people next?

On the other hand, because of the experience of not doing any detection last time and being ambushed when going out, Istina knew this time to release detection magic and defense magic before removing the barrier.

Then she found that she needed to fight ten people immediately, and the opponents were very cautious and kept a sufficient distance from her barrier to prevent them from being directly pulled in by her expanding the range of the barrier.

Well, very cautious, which made Istina very worried.

Fortunately, due to the Ten Directions Thunder Prison Realm, their attacks could not penetrate her, so she had enough time to make all the preparations. After all, she had learned something from being rubbed by Die'er every day.

Just like this, a few minutes passed. As the Ten Directions Thunder Prison Realm dissipated, all kinds of attacks from the people outside followed closely. There were magic, magic bullets, bows and arrows, and everything else, accurately covering every corner of the barrier.

"Ah."

As the leader raised his right hand to signal a ceasefire, the people who had been lying in ambush for a long time came out from all corners. He had not detected any signs of anyone running out in their concentrated fire just now, so the invader must have been hit head-on.

As the smoke and dust cleared in the distance, a tattered body was revealed, lying powerlessly on the ground, covered in scars from the recent attack.

Looking at the scene in the distance, the leader narrowed his eyes slightly, then raised his chin and signaled someone next to him to check the situation.

But when the man cautiously approached the corpse on the ground, an accident happened - the corpse turned into mist and disappeared without a trace.

"!"

Just when he was about to remind someone, someone appeared in the center of the crowd in the distance.

"Ten Directions Thunder Prison Realm."

Istina's figure emerged from underground, and the barrier magic unfolded for the third time.

It seemed that she became more and more skilled in fighting. Before everyone could react, Istina immediately used a Black Prison Lightning Flash to permanently silence the magician biologically. Then she used the cover of the barrier to disappear again.

Next, one against eight.

Due to the annihilation lightning that appears from time to time within the barrier, it is difficult to find Istina even with the use of detection magic.

"Everyone gather!"

Following the leader's order, everyone immediately gathered together with their backs to each other.

"Saturation attack!"

Sword skills, magic bullets, and arrows covered every corner of the barrier and eventually disappeared on the outer shell of the barrier. Due to the large number of attacks, Istina's magic power was unstable for a moment.

"! Over there! Focus your fire!"

Sensing something unusual, the leader immediately ordered everyone to attack Istina's direction, but as the smoke and dust dissipated, their attack still failed to break through Istina's defense.

To put it in a more vivid way, it was a fancy attack that didn't break the opponent's defense.

While the leader was still thinking about how to deal with the situation, some people in the rear could no longer sit still.

"Hehehe, I'm right, aren't I? Right now, the only way for you to survive is to cooperate with us, Chief."

In the shelter, the patriarch of the Grans family was looking at the battle images on the light screen in front of him with a gloomy expression, while beside him a figure wrapped in black air was laughing sarcastically.

"..."

"Huhu, you haven't even made a move against the stronger man yet. You're already helpless against someone whose fighting skills are so inexperienced, let alone what's coming next."

"Okay, I agree to cooperate."

Without listening to what the person in front of him said, the patriarch interrupted him.

"Hehe, the clan leader is indeed a smart man~"

"Stop talking nonsense, what should I do?"

"It's simple, we just need a little sacrifice..."

……

On the other side, Istina's battle was still going on. Faced with the annihilation magic wrapped around her, the few people were helpless.

They had tried every method they could think of, including close combat cutting, long-range bombardment, single-point breakthrough, and all-out attack. The price of these attempts was that several of them had become seriously injured and had almost lost their ability to fight.

When they watched Andrik and Istina fighting before, they thought that it was only because Andrik's level was not good enough that he couldn't break through the defense, and they were naturally extremely confident in their own strength.

Then when the actual fight started, they were dumbfounded. Their attacks didn't even cause a splash on the thin layer of red magic. If the opponent hadn't tried to dodge the attacks, others would have thought they were from the special effects team.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened - a large number of black tentacles suddenly burst out from the body of one of the people who fell to the ground with serious injuries. They instantly wrapped around the teammate closest to him and then swallowed him up.

"What! What is this!"

Suddenly, the battle formation that the family had been barely maintaining fell into chaos, and Eve, who saw this scene, immediately appeared and protected Istina behind her.

"Tina, remove the barrier. The training is over, and it's time for me to take over."

"Oh, um, okay."

When Istina saw Eve appear, she immediately understood what was happening and immediately lifted the magic barrier.

As the surrounding Ten Directions Thunder Prison Realm was lifted, Eve immediately took Istina to fly high into the sky and looked down.

In places that were suspected to be the family's refuge, huge black monsters had already broken through the ground. There were countless faces on the monsters, some ferocious, some struggling, and some howling, which looked particularly creepy.

But in the next moment, these monsters suddenly evaporated out of thin air. If it weren't for the large pits left on the ground, people would think that everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

The atmosphere in the entire demiplane suddenly became strange...

------

Today I will probably be the one who updates the list with my hands on my hips

§ 124 Tracking [First Update]

After seeing the black monster rushing out of the family shelter in the distance disappear, Eve immediately looked down at her feet, but at this time the monster had turned into a thin black smoke and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. It seemed that the monsters in the distance should have disappeared in the same way.

At this moment, within Eve's perception range, there was no response from any other life in the entire demiplane except for the few of them.

In the empty family building complex in the distance, some buildings were still brightly lit, while some places had fallen into darkness, but there was no one in them. The entire demiplane seemed to have instantly turned into the set of a horror movie, and the silence was a little creepy.

"Tsk, a new trick."

Eve was speechless looking at the current situation. She had fought the devil's followers four times in total, but they only used three different moves on her. To put it simply, they had quite a lot of tricks.

"Let's go down and see what's going on."

Nothing could be seen in the air anymore, so after a little thought, Eve decided to go down and see if she could find any clues. She hoped that the scourge of the family patriarch would not die so easily.

"Ah."

As they spoke, they flew towards the family residence.

—·—·—·—·—·—·—

"Sure enough, there's no one here, no bloodstains, not even a corpse."

Eve casually walked into a room where the lights were still on, and frowned slightly after glancing around.

Because they raided without warning, many signs of life could still be seen in the house. The tea on the table was still warm, and the corridor leading to the door was full of messy footprints. Some things had fallen to the ground, as if they had been accidentally knocked over by people while fleeing.

"Let's go and follow the footprints."

The direction of the footprints on the ground is generally consistent, and should lead to the shelter.

But after Eve and her companions walked along the footprints on the ground for a while, they found themselves at a dead end, with a large number of footprints suddenly disappearing in front of them.

"Secret door, Tina? I'll leave it to you to solve it. Peel it off layer by layer. Your annihilation magic is more suitable for this situation."

In order to prevent the secret door from self-destructing, Eve decided to dig out the entrance directly using physical methods, so the annihilation magic that can destroy matter became the first choice.

"Well, watch me."

As she spoke, the crimson magic power turned into a thin layer under Istina's control, and then covered the ground and wall in front of her.

As the magic piece went deeper and deeper, a tunnel hidden underground gradually appeared in front of them. It seemed that it was affected by the impact of the black monster breaking through the ground just now. At this time, the light source in the tunnel was flickering, very similar to the scenes in some classic horror movies, as if the next moment after walking in, a monster would attack with the flashing light.

The only difference is that Eve and the others are not protagonists who have no power to resist ghosts, but a group of ruthless people who can perform physical exorcisms at any time.

Raising his hand, he threw a few balls of light into the passage to replace the flickering light source. Eve then walked in first, followed by Istina, while Arcana and Ilvia were responsible for the rear guard.

After walking around the corridor for a while, they found several similar corridors intersecting with theirs, and the passage became much wider. Finally, they arrived at a shelter with a skylight.

This underground shelter is quite spacious and can accommodate thousands of people at most. There are also several passages in other places that are similar to the one they came out of.

From the broken objects on the floor of the shelter and the badly damaged walls, it was not difficult to tell that there had just been quite a commotion here, which should have happened before the black monster appeared.

It was probably that someone suddenly became the source of infection, dragging everyone else in and then merging into that huge black monster that broke through the ground.

But there were no traces of corpses or blood here either, as if everything had been completely devoured.

So, in the no-prize guessing session, where did all those black monsters go?

Looking from the sky, there are nearly ten shelters of various sizes in the family. It is estimated that the same situation exists in those places, which means that under extreme circumstances, nearly 10,000 people have turned into black smoke and disappeared.

Of course, there may not be so many people in the family residence. After all, this is just an extreme estimate based on the size of the shelter, but even so, the number of people who disappeared cannot be underestimated.

"Tina, do you know where that guy Drem usually is?"

Since Eve was always called to designated locations to receive missions during her time as a hero or was notified directly by Istina, she really didn't know where Drem usually stayed.

"Hmm... I do know of a few old locations, but they were probably decommissioned long ago. I don't know where they are now."

As the patriarch of the Grans family, Drem Grans would frequently change his office location in order to prepare for possible accidents. Istina only knew the patriarch's office location before she broke with the family, and she was unaware of subsequent changes.

"It doesn't matter. Let's go and look for any clues one by one. Otherwise, it will be difficult to deal with."

Based on the principle that some direction is better than no direction, the two flew back to the sky from the big hole in the shelter and began searching one place at a time.

Because the family residence is very large and has a complex internal structure, Eve will have a headache if she doesn't find any clues after searching around.

Just like that, the first place, the second place, the third place, as several places were all empty-handed, Istina's location reserves were exhausted, and it was time to fast forward to the part that gave Eve a headache.
