Volume 4 Chapter 59

Volume 4 + Chapter 59: The Mysterious Ally

“Xia Lulu, Elizabeth’s strength is immense. It has already surpassed that of a High Races Monarch, and she has successfully forced the Vampire King to submit to her,” Xia Yi explained. “Fighting Elizabeth, I could feel her power was unfathomable. Even Attiya, who is stronger than me, felt the same.”

“I won’t deny that point,” Xia Lulu replied.

“Therefore—”

Xia Yi took a deep breath and stated her conclusion.

“Elizabeth is invincible!”

Yes, that was the feeling in Xia Yi’s heart when facing Elizabeth.

If one disregarded legendary beasts—those disasters that purely transcend normal lifeforms—then even against other High Races Monarchs, Elizabeth possessed considerable advantage.

She had maximized the vampire traits to the extreme. Possessing a blood pool meant that as long as her heart and brain didn’t suffer fatal wounds, wasn’t it essentially equivalent to infinite resurrection? It’s practically no different from having cheats enabled!

However, Xia Lulu’s attitude was the opposite of Xia Yi’s, she seemed less panicked.

“Daughter, do you know what happened to the last person who claimed to be invincible?”

“The last one? Who was that?”

Xia Yi thought for a moment.

Among the High Races Monarchs, it seemed no one dared to claim invincibility, nor dared to speak of being undefeated…

Even Xia Lulu, as the strongest High Races Monarch, despite how much she looked down on others and displayed arrogance, had never uttered the word ‘invincible’.

“The last person to claim invincibility was also a Vampire Queen,” Xia Lulu said. “That was history from the Ancient Era. That generation’s Vampire Queen had strength infinitely close to that era’s Dragon King. At one point, her power surged, she defeated the Dragon King, became the strongest High Species Monarch, and declared herself peerless in this world, with no match left.”

“Was there actually such a thing?” Xia Yi exclaimed. “The Vampires were once that glorious?”

“However, her invincibility didn’t last long before she died suddenly.”

“This…”

Xia Yi hadn’t expected that kind of ending.

“In fact, I’ve long heard rumors that the Vampire Royal Family line possesses a secret method to become stronger. Daughter, after hearing your account today, I can roughly infer,” Xia Lulu explained. “That generation’s self-proclaimed invincible Vampire Queen probably used this secret method, absorbing the legendary treasure passed down among vampires—the Progenitor’s Blood—to amplify her bloodline, causing her strength to surge. But due to excessive greed, she was backlashed and died from that power.”

“Even though it’s the same Progenitor’s Blood, the circumstances are completely different this time,” Xia Yi reminded. “What’s revived this time is the Vampire Progenitor herself.”

“No, strictly speaking, it’s not the original, primordial Vampire Progenitor. She used the Progenitor’s Blood to resurrect within Miu Miu’s body, a vessel. Therefore, this isn’t the Vampire Progenitor’s original form. She must be under strict limitations, preventing her from freely exerting her original strength.”

“This…”

Xia Yi contemplated this idea.

Limited, unable to exert her original strength?

“Why do you infer that, Xia Lulu?”

“Xia Yi, both you and Attiya mentioned one crucial thing.”

Xia Lulu gave her reasoning.

“When Elizabeth fought you, she didn’t use certain near-overwhelming moves to instantly crush you. Instead, she used some seemingly powerful techniques to make you feel the gap in strength.”

“What’s the difference?”

“Of course there is. Do you remember fighting me?” Xia Lulu prompted.

Fighting Xia Lulu?

Xia Yi recalled…

Oh!

She remembered.

Her fights with Xia Lulu fell into two categories: one where Xia Lulu just wanted to play around with her, and another where she genuinely made Xia Lulu angry, resulting in being instantly defeated in a second.

Seeing her daughter’s expression, Xia Lulu continued, “The Vampire Progenitor said she would show you blood magic transcending this era. Yet you still had some ability to resist, even blocking her Divine Age Blood Magic. Isn’t that strange? Why not use a domain like I do? I believe she could definitely wield one.”

“You’re right!”

Xia Yi remembered Elizabeth seemed to have just kept using the whale and rose monsters to play with her, or weapons made from blood magic.

There weren’t any moves so powerful they were impossible to counter.

Like Xia Lulu’s Ice and Snow Domain.

“So you’re saying that bad woman was just bluffing?”

“By using such methods, she made you keenly aware of the strength gap, making you feel from the bottom of your hearts that you couldn’t defeat her. Because she wasn’t yet able to bring out her true capabilities, she could conceal one fact, she cannot freely use her full power.”

“I knew something felt off after the battle ended!” Xia Yi strongly agreed.

The more she thought about it, the stranger it seemed. If Elizabeth truly had no concerns, why use Miu Miu’s name? She could simply appear in the world as the Vampire Progenitor, eliminate all the High Races Monarchs, and be done with it.

But she didn’t do that. Wasn’t the reason precisely that she still had some apprehensions?

“Although the Vampire Progenitor said Miu Miu is a perfect vessel, you know Miu Miu’s own strength. It’s impossible for her to instantly bear such power,” Xia Lulu analogized. “It’s like if I poured all my power into an ant, the ant’s body would collapse… After all, a sudden gift of power often comes with a corresponding price.”

“I see. That bad woman isn’t truly invincible, just invincible under limited conditions.”

Xia Yi wondered, could that even be considered invincibility?

Xia Lulu speculated, “I think the Vampire Progenitor is also looking for ways to remedy this flaw. Perhaps she’s making preparations in secret…”

“We can’t let that bad woman succeed!!”

“Then, should we initiate war?” Xia Lulu suddenly dropped this shocking suggestion.

“This—”

Xia Yi was momentarily speechless.

She stared at the Silver Dragon Queen.

“Xia Lulu, are you serious…”

“What do you think?”

“…”

If it were about seeking revenge for her, declaring war on the Vampires sounded satisfying, of course.

But matters of war weren’t just about personal feelings.

The Dragon Clan’s current policy wasn’t inclined towards waging a war. Moreover, if the Dragon Clan decided to send troops, the stable balance might be shattered. Elizabeth might even choose to lower her stance, ally with other kingdoms, and oppose the Dragon Clan instead—

“Let me handle this, Xia Lulu. Let’s keep war as a last resort,” Xia Yi said seriously.

Hearing this, Xia Lulu smiled. “Daughter, you’re really starting to think about these issues with the mindset of a Dragon Clan heir now. I’m quite pleased.”

“I… I’m not…admitting any of that! What Dragon Clan heir? I haven’t fallen!” Xia Yi hurriedly retorted. “This is a personal grudge! I said I’d make that bad woman pay!”

“This courage is commendable. I like it,” Xia Lulu said, narrowing her eyes. “If you truly managed to eliminate a High Races Monarch from the Mythic Age, such an achievement transcending the current era would undoubtedly forge your future.”

“But even if Elizabeth has limitations, her strength still far surpasses mine.”

“About that…”

“Xia Lulu, do you have someone in mind?” Xia Yi sensed a possible opportunity.

“Of course not. My knowledge of vampires isn’t that extensive.”

“Dorothea?”

Xia Lulu shook her head in denial. “She doesn’t even want to leave the Violet Iris Valley. Besides, she despises worldly affairs. Even if the Dragon Clan were wiped out, she’s the type who wouldn’t get involved.”

“Then who is it?”

Xia Lulu smiled mysteriously. “This person is…”
