Volume 4 Chapter 243
by Need_More_SleepVolume 4 + Chapter 243: The Vampire Peak Elite
Clap, clap, clap!
Abrupt applause sounded from not far away. Everyone looked toward the source and saw a figure appear.
“A mother-daughter reunion. Truly a touching, masterful drama.”
The person’s face was expressionless, narrating in a flat, monotonous tone while still applauding, as if appreciating a theatrical performance.
“Even I feel moved.”
Daring to adopt such an attitude before the Silver Dragon Queen, probably only one person left in the entire vampire race could do this,
The former Vampire King, Herman · Borgia.
He walked before the group, ceased clapping, and looked at the Silver Dragon Princess.
“It’s just a pity that such a touching scene must come to a close here.”
“Herman, it’s you.” Xia Lulu looked at Herman, narrowing her eyes.
“It truly has been a long time, Silver Dragon Queen. Much time has passed since we last parted in the vampire palace.”
“Yes, I also didn’t expect we would meet on the battlefield. I never thought the vampires would make such a shocking move, actually antagonizing all nations of this land.”
“I also didn’t expect things would develop to this point.”
“Herman, you are finished. It won’t be long before the Anti-Vampire Alliance army flattens the capital of the Holy Crimson Empire. Your vampire race will also pay a heavy price for your arrogant actions.”
“Arrogant? Hahaha!”
Herman laughed as if he had heard an immensely amusing joke.
“The most arrogant higher-ranked species in this world actually thinks other races are arrogant?”
“I am stating facts, Herman. No matter how you bluster, facts speak louder than words.”
“Then let me tell you, the Divine Ancestor does not care!”
Herman spread his arms as if extolling the greatness of the Vampire Divine Ancestor.
“So what if the Anti-Vampire Alliance breaches the capital? Before the Divine Ancestor, you are all merely insects!”
“Herman, have you gone mad?”
Xia Lulu expected him to offer some rebuttal, but he didn’t. Instead, he admitted it outright, showing no concern about enemies at the gates.
“Do not mistake this for madness. This is the power of faith. However, I am not here to engage in idle chatter with fools like you.”
Herman’s gaze shifted to Xia Yi.
Xia Lulu clearly sensed his malice and shielded her daughter behind her.
“Silver Dragon Princess, by what means did you actually escape from the Divine Ancestor’s presence?” Herman asked.
“I won’t tell a madman like you! Figure it out yourselves!” Xia Yi had no intention of giving him any face.
“Forget it. Asking such things now holds little meaning since it already happened. What matters is bringing you back to the Divine Ancestor’s side.”
Herman consumed his blood energy, coalescing blood-colored spears that floated around him.
“Blood Magic · Spears of Slaughter!”
“Dragon King’s Aura!”
Xia Lulu unleashed the Dragon King’s Aura, attempting to suppress him.
“Do you think this can affect me?”
Herman also activated his royal bloodline. His eyes glowed faintly as he released an aura on par with Xia Lulu’s, neutralizing the Dragon King’s Aura.
“Attack!!”
The captain, who had been waiting for an opening, gave the order at this moment, intending to suppress Herman before he could strike.
The surrounding dragon soldiers simultaneously breathed dragonfire at Herman.
BOOM!!
The dragonfire blasted onto Herman, engulfing his figure.
Even the vampire soldiers maintaining distance around him were swallowed by the fiery impact, and the streets behind were annihilated.
Yet, within the dragonfire, everyone could still see that pair of blood-red eyes.
“This… how is this possible?!” The captain wore an expression of utter disbelief.
Even Xia Yi was shocked.
All that dragonfire hitting him, and he was… tanking it head-on?!
“Execution!”
Herman suddenly raised his hand. Twelve blood-colored spears arrayed around him like the numbers on a clock shot forth simultaneously, shattering the dragonfire.
Twelve blood-red streaks of light shot toward the surrounding dragons, each beam targeting a vital spot on a dragon soldier.
An attack of this level was absolutely sufficient to pierce dragon-scale armor and penetrate a dragon’s heart.
“Ice Walls!”
Xia Lulu anticipated the blood spears’ trajectories in advance, erecting twelve thick ice walls before all the dragons for defense.
The blood-red lights crashed into the ice walls, piercing halfway through before getting stuck.
Herman seemed to have foreseen this. He clenched his raised hand tightly.
“Blood Magic · Brutal Grip.”
The blood spears embedded in the ice walls detonated with his gesture. The blood energy transformed into violent shockwaves that exploded, shattering the ice walls and blasting the dragon soldiers away, sending them crashing to the ground.
“This…?!”
Witnessing this, Xia Yi was deeply shaken.
It seemed to be the first time she had seen Xia Lulu at a disadvantage against someone else…
“Damn it…!”
The captain, who had fallen on the ground, was seriously injured, as were the other dragon soldiers.
Fortunately, Xia Lulu’s ice walls had blocked the lethal impact, preventing the dragon soldiers from losing their lives.
“…Captain, take Xia Yi and leave here. Have all dragon soldiers withdraw with you.”
Xia Lulu suddenly issued an unexpected command.
“Xia Lulu, what are you planning to do?!” Xia Yi was very worried.
The captain also found it hard to accept. “Your Majesty, please allow us to continue fighting Herman alongside you, “
“Do not stay here. Your strength is too weak. You will only hinder me and affect my performance. Now, take Xia Yi and leave this place.”
“…Understood.” The captain could not refute and could only comply.
“Xia Lulu, you… can you handle this?” Xia Yi tugged at Xia Lulu’s hand.
Xia Lulu didn’t look back, merely saying, “Herman cannot defeat me.”
Xia Yi wanted to say more, but the captain interrupted her.
“Your Highness the Princess, let us retreat for now!”
Xia Yi had no choice. She couldn’t be willful at such a time and could only leave with the captain.
Herman watched the departing dragons, completely indifferent. In his view, Xia Yi could not escape. He would deal with Xia Lulu first, then go and capture her later, and could just as easily eliminate the Anti-Vampire Alliance along the way.
“Silver Dragon Queen, everything has already been ordained.”
The former Vampire King, now the supreme peak elite beneath the Vampire Divine Ancestor, endowed with divine empowerment, shifted his gaze back to the current world’s strongest higher-ranked species king, Xia Lulu.
“The strongest higher-ranked species king will meet her end today.”
