I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

"What the hell?"

Looking at the half-destroyed stronghold in front of him, the stronghold commander couldn't help but be stunned. After all, this was just a small or medium-sized abyss. Logically, there shouldn't be such a powerful enemy appearing.

But now that things have come to this, there is no point in saying more. We can only do our best to reduce casualties.

"Quick! Everyone gather, take a headcount! Retreat in an orderly manner!"

The magic-infused roar of the stronghold leader spread throughout the entire stronghold, and the people who had just recovered from the shock began to act in an orderly manner. Some people continued to hinder the advance of the abyss waves, while others began to dig through the ruins, rescuing those buried underneath and those who were knocked unconscious, and counted the number of people in an orderly manner.

After giving the order, the base commander looked at the place where Istina was just now.

"Hey, where is the person?"

But at this time, Istina had disappeared, but the thunder in the distance had already told her the answer.

"!!!"

The moment the explosion occurred, Istina subconsciously opened the defense wall, but then she found that the bonus from the stronghold had disappeared.

Looking along the broken roof, two figures were fighting in the air. One was Akana, and the other should be the strong man in the abyss wave, which was the highlight that Akana mentioned.

The aftermath of the explosion that had just left the stronghold in a semi-destroyed state was caused by the two of them.

The situation was urgent, so Istina jumped directly into the air along the broken roof and looked around.

At this time, the more distant stronghold had resumed its firepower, but the other two strongholds closest to their stronghold were in a semi-destroyed state. The firepower had completely stopped, and because the meat mountain monster over there had not been eliminated, the abyss wave in that direction was also particularly close to the stronghold.

What's worse is that since there is only one Roshan in each stronghold, the distant strongholds cannot spare firepower to provide support for them.

Without thinking too much, Istina flew directly towards the meat mountain monster, and then...

"Black Prison Lightning"

The red thunder, like a divine punishment, turned the huge body of the Meat Mountain into nothingness. After the attack, Istina did not stop the output of magic. The thick thunder swept across the front of the abyss wave, leaving a deep canyon that blocked the advance of the wave, and she herself rushed towards another Meat Mountain near the half-destroyed stronghold.

The black shadow that was fighting with Arcana in the air also tried to stop Istina's actions but was completely unable to get rid of Arcana's entanglement. It could only watch angrily as Istina made their plan fail.

The situation at the left stronghold was even worse. It was the bad luck of the chief of this stronghold. She happened to be commanding on the city wall when the explosion happened. She was directly shocked unconscious by the terrifying energy fluctuations. For a while, the stronghold was leaderless and in chaos.

"Everyone! Follow my orders!"

Flying in front of the base, Istina's voice reached the ears of everyone in the base, and along with the order came the red lightning she released towards the Meat Mountain.

boom! ! !

"Those who can still move, take away the unconscious ones. Those who still have the strength to move, rescue those trapped below. Count the number of people on your own. I will handle the abyssal waves!"

As the Meat Mountain disappeared in the red thunder in the distance, the shocked crowd began to carry out Istina's orders in an orderly manner and recovered from the chaos.

However, the current situation is a little awkward for Istina - she lacks the means to attack over a wide area, and now she needs to fill the gaps in the defense lines of the three strongholds, which is a little stressful for her.

However, the situation was urgent and she could only do her best. Istina also knew that she only needed to delay for a while. The abyss wave in front of her was not a problem at all in front of her brave lord. After all, one of Eve's hobbies was wide-area firepower strikes, and the scene in the family demiplane was still vivid in her mind.

"[Hellfire Star]"

Ten fireballs were released from Istina's fingertips and scattered in the abyssal waves. Unlike the hard-to-extinguish black flame of destruction cast by Eve, when she cast the Hellfire Star, she would leave an effect of annihilating magic in the original place, dissolving objects that came into contact with the residual magic, which also had a delaying effect to some extent.

Moreover, on the battlefield in the air, Arcana was also doing his part to stop the abyssal waves. The terrifying magical fluctuations generated during the collisions often directly blasted into the abyssal waves, destroying large swathes of abyssal creatures.

In this way, Istina's figure kept moving back and forth between the three strongholds, acting as a firefighter. If the abyss creatures were approaching quickly, she would fly across the sky to deliver a wave of air strikes to that side, slowing down their advance.

(BGM here: Thump↘thump↘! Thump↗thump↗thump↘thump→thump↘thump↗thump→thump→thump→thump→! Thump→thump→thump→thump↘!)

"Huh... I should learn some large-scale magic with Eve sometime..."

Istina felt a little helpless during the constant exchanges. She used to think that Eve had too much firepower, but this time she realized that firepower is something you only regret not having enough of when you need it.

It is not a problem for her to kill the monsters in the Abyss Wave in seconds, but the problem is that the battle line is too long!

Fortunately, as the other meat monsters were defeated one after another, the strongholds in other directions were freed up, and firepower support began to arrive one after another, which somewhat relieved some of the pressure on Istina.

"Black Prison Lightning Flash!"

Red lightning streaked across the earth, leaving a brief blank area in the black waves, but it was immediately filled by seemingly endless black monsters, and Istina also personally experienced the high threat of the abyss.

They can be resurrected from the abyss, and their number is almost endless. And judging from the performance of everyone in the stronghold, except for the guy fighting against Arcana, this seems to be the strength of a daily wave?

No wonder my mother took it so seriously after knowing that the hero could completely eradicate the abyss.

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the distant mountains. The flames of the explosion directly illuminated the sky, and the black figure who was fighting with Akana also changed his expression. He took Akana's sword and made a move to escape.

But in the next moment, he had an intimate contact with the earth, and a figure appeared above where he had just been - Eve had returned!

Entered the update list again

§ 13 Uninvited Guests (Arkana's Side View) [First Update]

After Istina used a Black Prison Lightning Flash to eliminate the Meat Mountain Monster that was approaching the stronghold, Akana also realized that the existence behind this wave seemed to be unable to sit still.

Originally, the opponent seemed to have used some method to evenly distribute his breath among these meat mountain monsters. He might be preparing to launch a surprise attack when one of the meat mountain monsters was closer to the stronghold. If the meat mountain monster was about to be knocked down, the opponent could also withdraw his breath without damage.

After all, the firepower from the stronghold was not enough to deal a fatal blow to the Meat Mountain Monster. The opponent had plenty of time to recover his breath, but Istina's sudden attack just now directly disrupted the opponent's plan. Part of his breath was completely destroyed by the Black Prison Lightning, and the opponent was also slightly injured.

At this time, the opponent has begun to condense his aura again. I guess he is turning to a strong attack after his infiltration failed?

So when Istina was taken to see the leader of the stronghold, Akana quietly concealed his figure and came to the sky above the stronghold, alert to the first attack from the opponent.

"Over there!"

Suddenly, the empty blade in Akana's hand was pointed in one direction, and a ball of light was on the tip of the sword ready to be launched. The other three empty blades behind her had also been fully charged.

Immediately afterwards, four beams of light bombarded that direction, and a black figure appeared on the path of the bombardment, with a black energy ball in his hand emitting terrifying energy fluctuations.

The opponent seemed a little surprised to be caught in advance by Arcana, but he still released the energy ball in his hand directly, turning it into a black torrent and colliding with the light column.

boom! ! !

A huge explosion erupted from the intersection of the two energies, followed by an energy shock wave, which caused all these strongholds to temporarily become silent. Among them, the three strongholds closest to the explosion point were severely damaged and almost completely lost their function.

Although the Abyssal Tide was also affected to a certain extent, the Meat Mountain blocked a lot of attacks. Therefore, the monsters of the Abyssal Tide took advantage of this brief period of firepower vacuum to advance rapidly.

On the other side, after being forced out by Arcana in advance, the black figure wanted to hide again and wait for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack, but failed under the bombardment of the empty blade and had to choose to fight Arcana.

The black figure seemed to be a being that preferred long-range attacks. He was a little weak in close combat with Arcana. Most of the time he had to take Arcana's attacks head-on. And whenever he wanted to find an opportunity to create distance, the opponent's empty blade bombardment would always interrupt him just in time, making him quite annoyed.

The abyss waves below failed to break through the stronghold as he had expected. A woman suddenly flew out of the stronghold and used the same attack that had just destroyed the meat mountain monster to destroy the remaining two meat mountain monsters, greatly alleviating the pressure on the stronghold.

Under her command, the stronghold that had been in chaos was pulled back, and rescue and evacuation work was organized in an orderly manner. Some guys who had spare energy even began to release magic towards the abyss waves.

The only good news is that the woman doesn't seem to have any ability to cause large-scale damage. Although the speed has slowed down a lot, the abyss wave is still slowly approaching the stronghold. With more time, it should be able to tear a hole in the defense line.

"!"

Just as he was observing the battle situation below, the empty blade in Akana's hand suddenly burst out with a strong light and slashed directly towards him. He was so frightened that he quickly dodged it.

But Akana's attack was not aimed at just him. The air blade swung by the empty blade directly hit a group of fast-moving abyss creatures, forcing their advance back and providing some help to Istina.

Well, since the black figure's pressure was not enough, Arcana even had the leisure to intervene in the battle below.

After dodging the attack, the black figure looked at the abyss waves being pushed back below. His aura suddenly sank, and powerful magic began to gather around him, continuously bombarding Arcana. Many abyss creatures below their battlefield were also directly killed by the aftermath of the attack.

So this time it was Akana's turn to be in trouble. The opponent no longer cared how many of his own people were accidentally injured. There were enough abyss creatures anyway, and he had completely given up the idea of ​​shooting from behind. It seemed that he would not give up until he captured Akana.

But she needs to ensure that the aftermath of the attack will not affect the stronghold. After all, due to the lack of large-scale attack means, Istina can only keep moving back and forth between different parts of the front line to suppress the enemy. Once multiple places are lost at the same time, it will be difficult to rescue them.

So Akana directly chose to use the trump card in his hand - calling the master!

While fighting against the opponent's magical torrent, Arcana called out to Eve in his heart.

"Master, a strong guy has infiltrated the Wave. Three strongholds are half-destroyed. Tina and I are blocking the gap. I've temporarily pinned down the attacker, but the situation isn't optimistic. Tina doesn't have any large-scale magic. How long will it take, Master?"

"Hold on for three more minutes, I'll take care of this right away! I said, get out of here!"

"Eh?"

Arcana was confused when he heard the sudden roar from Eve, but then he heard Eve's apology.

"Ah, sorry, Arcana, I wasn't talking about your side. I ran into a troublesome guy here. Anyway, you just need to hold on for another three minutes!"

"Uh, okay, then let's do our best on the master's side as well."

After the communication ended, Akana was still confused. What happened on the master's side? From the sound of his voice, his master actually felt tired and speechless?

But can I hold on for another three minutes? No problem, just keep fighting for a while, but I still have to pay attention to prevent the other party from escaping.

Thinking of this, Akana once again held the empty blade and fought towards the black figure in front of him.

Just like that, after nearly three minutes, the opponent's expression suddenly changed. He stopped charging the magic in his hand and pretended to escape to the side. Then a loud noise was heard from the distant mountains. It seemed that Eve had solved the problem.

But Arcana, who had been prepared, would naturally not let him escape as he wished.

"Don't even think about running away!"

As the two empty blades fell, the space in front of the black figure was also blocked by the empty blades' bombardment, but he did not dodge or evade. He directly condensed the black power on himself, and even though he was hit by Arcana in the back, he still pretended to break through the empty blades' bombardment blockade.

But in the next moment, the bombardment barrier in front of him suddenly lifted itself. It turned out that Arcana took back the empty blade on his own initiative. But before he could feel strange, he had an intimate contact with the earth in the next moment.

Feeling the terrifying pressure from the figure above his head, the black shadow knew that he was in big trouble.

Today there will be five more chapters and one more chapter for each monthly ticket.

§ 14 Hidden in the Mountains [Second Update]

Time goes back to Eve. After separating from Istina, she followed Charlotte and flew towards the Pierre Mountains.

Soon they arrived above the Pierre Mountains. After flying inward for a while, Charlotte landed with Eve.

"Your Highness, the enemy's stronghold is just ahead. We haven't explored it in depth, but have only locked onto its perimeter."

As he spoke, Charlotte pointed to the hill in front of him which was shorter than the surrounding hills.

"The enemy's base is mainly located inside this hill and underground. One of the entrances is under the rocks over there, a well-hidden cave, but we haven't been able to investigate the scale of the base."

Charlotte seemed a little ashamed when this was mentioned. After all, their inspection team had been much more cautious in their actions since the last dangerous situation.

"It doesn't matter, just find it, I'll take care of the rest."

But Eve didn't mind at all. After all, emergency rescue is more difficult than sneaking in to investigate.

"So the front is the warning barrier set up by the other party?"

"Yes, in addition to the warning effect, it also has an autonomous attack effect, but the triggering method is unknown. Sometimes some animals can enter and exit freely, but sometimes they will be killed by the barrier."

"Is that so... Have you figured out the purpose of this base? Are there any innocent people inside?"

After thinking for a moment, Eve asked again before entering the barrier.

"Those demon followers occasionally transport black boxes inward. They're large enough to hide a person, but they don't go through this entrance. I don't know their specific purpose."

"Is that so...Okay, then Charlotte, you should go back to the base and help defend it. I'll handle this here."

"Yes! Please be careful."

After saying that, Charlotte used invisibility and flight again to rush towards the nearest stronghold.

"Well, let's see what these guys are up to."

After watching Charlotte leave, Eve moved around a bit and then started to play stealth puzzle. After all, there might be innocent people inside, so she couldn't just blast them with the Prison Flame Star.

"Magic Detection"

As the magic was activated, Eve's eyes emitted a faint light, and the warning magic set up by the demon believers' stronghold was clearly visible to her.

"Let me check...if there's any loopholes...ah, here, Viya, please."

"Ah."

As she finished speaking, a golden holy sword appeared in Eve's hand. She held the magic-breaking holy sword carefully and stabbed it at a part of the magic circle in front of her. Then the magic circle in operation suddenly paused for a moment, and Eve took the opportunity to enter the barrier with Ilvia. After they entered, the gap that had just appeared also repaired itself without leaving any trace.

On the other side, in the stronghold of the demon believers.

"Ok?"
