Volume 4 Chapter 226
by Need_More_SleepVolume 4 + Chapter 226: The Duo Cooperating
The Ancient Elven Kingdom.
The silver dragon in the sky unleashed an icy breath, as if to freeze all things in the world.
The divine halo behind the Elven King bloomed with green light.
“Nature Magic: Arboreal Barrier!”
Towering trees erupted from the earth, forming layer upon layer of barriers before the Elven King.
Yet, under Cynthia’s devastating breath, the colossal wooden barriers were pierced one by one, shattering the magic hailed as near-invincible defense.
Boom!
Although the power of the breath had been weakened by the Arboreal Barrier, its impact upon striking the ground still triggered a violent shockwave. Howling blizzards descended upon the verdant forest.
“To actually lead the Dragons in attacking our Ancient Elven Kingdom, tsk…”
The Elven King frowned, gazing at the dragons in the sky.
He and Cynthia had already been locked in fierce combat for a long time. Even with his immense magical reserves and the considerable terrain advantage of fighting on home ground, he could no longer sustain the toll of such an onslaught.
“Your Majesty, perhaps we should consider a strategic retreat?” proposed one of the Elven King’s subordinates.
“You are heavily depleted. Summon the Treant army to hold off the dragons while we withdraw for now. Once you have recovered, we can drive the Dragons back.”
“It seems that is our only option,” the Elven King agreed.
The enemy had come a long way to the Ancient Elven Kingdom. In terms of supplies, the Elves undoubtedly held the advantage.
Using his remaining, dwindling magic, he summoned a vast army of Treants to block the dragon’s offensive, then led his forces in retreat.
However, during their withdrawal, the unexpected occurred.
A sea of crimson blood plummeted from the sky as if the heavens had collapsed, cutting off the Elven King’s retreat.
A silver-haired, crimson-eyed Vampire girl stood atop a whale, looking down at the weary Elven King with a dangerous smile. “I’ve been waiting so long for you, Elven King~ As expected, with Cynthia ahead, you were bound to retreat here.”
“Vampire Ancestor!?” The Elven King was astonished. “You’ve actually joined forces with the Silver Dragon Queen to attack our Elven kind!”
“Hehe, we merely wish to… talk with your Elven kind. We have no desire to wage war.”
“Nonsense! Do you think I would believe the words of one such as you?”
“What a pity. Then it seems we must first find a way to… calm you down before you’ll listen properly,” Elizabeth raised her hand. “Divine Authority of Blood: Liberation.”
…
…
The Vampire Imperial Palace.
“Excellent, Elizabeth. The Elven King has finally agreed to… talk with us.”
Cynthia looked at Elizabeth, her expression one of excitement, joyous as a child.
“First the Giant King, now the Elven King… We are drawing closer and closer to achieving our goal!”
“Indeed. Everyone is like this. If you don’t demonstrate sufficient strength, they simply refuse to even attempt communication. After all, with the two of us united, no one in this world can stand against us.”
Elizabeth, sitting on the edge of a table, nodded in affirmation.
The two were now alone.
The relationship between the Vampire Ancestor and the Silver Dragon Queen could no longer be described in ordinary terms. As rulers of superior species who should have been natural adversaries, visiting each other’s palaces had become as commonplace as a daily meal. Their subordinates had no idea what the two discussed or did during these private meetings.
“Next will be the Human King,” Cynthia began to envision the future. “If we can get all the rulers of the superior species, along with the leaders of other races, to sit down together, establish a peaceful alliance, and be willing to communicate… at least many problems could be resolved peacefully.”
Cynthia’s desire to end the age of chaos was indeed somewhat naive.
The method was…
Through sheer power.
Using overwhelming strength to awe all the rulers of the superior species, forcing everyone to the negotiating table.
It sounded rather absurd.
However, Cynthia’s power was truly formidable, and with Elizabeth’s assistance, the duo together could completely overpower any other.
Thus, an opportunity to end the chaotic era emerged.
“Although I know peace might only last during my lifetime, we can still try to create the conditions for the next generation of superior species to…”
“Cynthia, I’m hungry.”
Elizabeth lowered her head, taking Cynthia’s hand.
Her silver hair cascaded down, brushing against Cynthia’s collarbone.
“Elizabeth, why are you always hungry?” Cynthia asked curiously. “You are the Vampire Ancestor. Restraining the thirst shouldn’t be difficult, right?”
“But… I just want to drink your blood, Cynthia.”
Elizabeth’s fingers interlaced with Cynthia’s, then clasped tightly, pressing together intimately.
“Is that not allowed~?”
“Alright, if it’s for you, Elizabeth, I’ll indulge you.”
Cynthia tilted her head back, willingly exposing her neck.
Truth be told, she didn’t quite understand why Elizabeth was so fond of drinking her blood.
Elizabeth, taking advantage of the situation, leaned forward from the table, falling into Cynthia’s embrace. She straddled the Silver Dragon Queen’s lap, their bodies pressed close, each able to feel the other’s heartbeat.
The Vampire Ancestor opened her mouth, revealing sharp fangs, and bit down.
Elizabeth immersed herself in Cynthia’s scent, savoring the essence of the Silver Dragon maiden.
When had the two developed such a relationship?
Even she herself didn’t know. It seemed that before she realized it, she was already holding the other, engaging in this act of craving.
The palace grew quiet. Neither spoke, with only the sound of their synchronized breathing between them.
After a long while, Elizabeth reluctantly pulled away from Cynthia.
“Satisfied?” Cynthia asked.
“…Mhm.”
Elizabeth nodded. In her satiated state, she actually displayed a rare, docile side.
Cynthia gently pinched Elizabeth’s cheek. “Only at times like this does Elizabeth show her obedient side. It’s quite adorable.”
“Am I not cute usually~?”
“You’re always cute.”
“Eh~? You actually know how to give compliments now? Who taught you that?”
“You did.”
“Is there… Anything else you’d like to say to me?”
“There actually is.”
“What is it?”
“Well… I haven’t quite figured out how to say it yet. Let’s save it for next time~”
“Cynthia, you’ve become mischievous! Teasing me like that!”
“That, I learned from you too.”
“Stop repeating that line!” Elizabeth protested. “I think you’re just toying with me!”
Cynthia laughed. But indeed, there was something she wanted to say to Elizabeth alone.
However, now was not the time.
On the day the chaotic era finally ended, she would personally tell Elizabeth the words hidden within her heart.
