Volume 4 Chapter 252
by Need_More_SleepVolume 4 + Chapter 252: The Cruel Curve
Elizabeth slowly opened her eyes.
Soaking in the Clear Spirit Spring within the Vampire Imperial Palace, she was drenched from head to toe. Her silver hair clung to her cheeks. As her consciousness cleared, a wave of anger became evident in her crimson eyes.
“You’ve really done something remarkable, Xia Yi,” Elizabeth’s voice was icy cold.
She had had a nightmare.
Within the dream, she relived events from the Mythic Era, once again witnessing Cynthia’s death before her very eyes.
She was forced to recall that period of time.
Subsequently, many Legendary Beasts appeared, wreaking havoc in the dream, trapping her within the nightmare where she was tormented by them.
Upon waking, she realized this was a nightmare specifically crafted by someone else.
Among the races on this land capable of dominating another’s dreams, only the Succubus could do so.
However, if any Succubus dared to easily enter Elizabeth’s dreams, they would absolutely be detected by her and executed within the dream itself.
Yet, in this particular dream, she had not sensed the presence of any Succubus.
Recalling Xia Yi’s unusual and ingratiating behavior just before she fell asleep, it explained almost everything,
Xia Yi had secretly collaborated with a Succubus, scheming against her.
The Succubus, using Xia Yi as a medium, completely masked its own aura. Undetected by Elizabeth, it entered her dream, created the nightmare, and then dragged her into it.
“Damnable creature, to actually betray me like this!”
Elizabeth could not accept that someone had spied on her past and even exploited it.
She was truly enraged.
No matter who it was, anyone who dared to anger the Vampire Ancestor and cross her bottom line must pay a painful price.
Xia Yi · Christie, in Elizabeth’s eyes, was merely a little blood bag used to vent her blood-sucking impulses, someone to toy with occasionally, or to indulge with a bit of affection.
To make this little blood bag slightly more endearing, Elizabeth had deliberately refrained from using her Blood Divine Authority to corrupt and utterly dominate Xia Yi. After all, turning her into an obedient puppet would be far too dull.
Who could have imagined that not only was Xia Yi ungrateful, but she had also meticulously laid a trap to scheme against her?
This time, Elizabeth had been bitten back by her own little blood bag, and the bite drew blood.
Since that was the case, there was truly no need for any further leniency. Moreover, this was not something that could be easily ended with mere death.
Expressionlessly, Elizabeth stood up and left the Clear Spirit Spring.
She removed her wet clothes and changed into the formal attire of the Vampire Ancestor. She glanced at a clock to confirm the time.
A long time had already passed since the scheduled start of her and Xia Yi’s wedding ceremony. She didn’t know what had happened during that interval.
She needed to find her subordinate and ask first.
“Herman.”
Elizabeth attempted to summon her most loyal and powerful puppet.
If Herman received the summons, no matter where he was or what he was doing, he would respond immediately and come at once.
This time, Elizabeth waited for a long while but sensed no reply from Herman.
“This is… what’s going on?”
Elizabeth sensed something abnormal.
Theoretically, a situation where Herman failed to respond was absolutely impossible.
Except for one possibility, that Herman had been completely erased from this world.
However, Herman was originally a powerful king among the Upper Races, and furthermore, he had received the blessing of Divine Authority, possessing an almost immortal and indestructible body. On this land, there should be no one else capable of threatening his life.
“Herman, respond immediately!”
Elizabeth, unusually, called a second time. Yet, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, no response.
“Could it be that…?”
Frowning, she left the Clear Spirit Spring.
The scene outside slightly surprised the Vampire Ancestor. The Vampire Imperial Palace was nearly half destroyed, with fragments of ice scattered everywhere. Within her field of vision stood one colossal ice mountain after another, fallen upon the imperial capital.
Many vampires were fleeing in panic, plunged into chaos and panic, the scene a complete mess.
“Divine Ancestor-sama, Divine Ancestor-sama!! Save us, please save us!!”
A Pureblood noble ran up to Elizabeth.
“What happened?”
“Divine Ancestor-sama, please save us quickly! Please erase this disaster! Someone is challenging Your divine majesty, attempting to eradicate Your believers from this world!!”
The pampered Pureblood noble, who had never witnessed such a terrifying scene before, was terrified of death. Like a startled bird, he could not maintain rationality and was on the verge of collapse.
“… My patience is limited. You had better explain clearly,” Elizabeth said coldly.
Other vampires nearby noticed her presence and began to gather around.
“It’s Divine Ancestor-sama! Divine Ancestor-sama has finally arrived!”
“Divine Ancestor-sama is our only hope!”
“Divine Ancestor-sama, please take action!!”
The Pureblood noble screamed hysterically: “Will there be a second wave of attacks? I don’t want to die, I really don’t want to dieeeee! Divine Ancestor-sama, save us!!”
Having had enough, Elizabeth raised her hand and pierced through the Pureblood noble’s chest.
“Blood Divine Authority · Erosion.”
Elizabeth had no patience to waste time on such a fool. She invoked her Blood Divine Authority to corrupt the Pureblood noble.
After the corruption, she directly read his memories, learning the current situation.
After she had fallen into the nightmare, Xia Yi had chosen to flee the wedding and left the Vampire Imperial Palace. At that time, the Anti-Vampire Coalition launched an all-out attack. Herman chose to actively meet the enemy. Subsequently, a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering battle took place within the imperial capital, resulting in an ice mountain range falling, nearly destroying the place…
It appeared Herman had likely perished in that battle.
After extracting the useful information from the Pureblood noble’s memories, Elizabeth withdrew her hand, too lazy to grant any blessing to such a worthless fool.
The Pureblood noble, with a gaping hole in his chest, collapsed to the ground, dying like a piece of rubbish. The sight was shocking to the surrounding vampires, no one dared utter another word.
Elizabeth summoned a swarm of blood bats, stepped onto them, and left the Vampire Imperial Palace, heading into the capital.
Sensing the lingering aura of Herman’s final moments, she flew to the battle site, descended, and discovered an ice cross embedded in the ground. Herman was likely buried beneath it.
“And this is?”
On the other side, Elizabeth spotted a silver dragon loli collapsed on the ground.
She walked over step by step. Looking at the silver dragon before her, she gradually realized that although this person looked exactly like Xia Yi, it was not her little blood bag.
Retrieving through Miu Miu’s memories, she already knew this person’s identity.
A cruel curve lifted the corners of Elizabeth’s mouth.
“Xia Yi, since you have chosen to betray me, then I will let you experience… an abyss of despair.”
oh no… 😭
