"What was the Princess doing?!"
"She went mad! The Princess went mad!"
"Run before the Vampires bite you!!"
People began to run around in panic, trying to find the exit. Pope Juriel imdiately deployed on top of mine around the Royal Family's table and the 10 remaining Vampires in an attempt to isolate them without any hesitation.
The Vampires inside tried to jump toward nearby people, but a half-transparent golden barrier in a do shape kept them inside.
Rania also moved forward to protect the Pope and the cute Archbishop, drawing the [Fairy Longsword] she hid behind a pillar.
"Please stay behind ." She instructed Juriel and Sana, knowing very well that the 10 Vampires could as well attack them.
Tristan also jumped beside Rania and called out [Night's Edge], as using a bow wasn't ideal at a place where many people were still trying to run away in panic.
As for the area around the Royal Family table, it was honestly chaotic.
The Princess's fangs were deep inside King Cassius' neck, with red blood dripping. His appearance turned slowly, becoming more and more like a Vampire. His blue hair turned white, and his eyes turned bloodshot like Princess Carissa's.
"Ahhn~ My beloved father's blood! Don't worry. You will be with forever!" Under the influence of being starved and a subtle implant in her brain, Carissa moaned lovingly as she licked the blood coming out of the wound she created. "Let's live together… forever!"
Of course, I knew that was just Carissa's real personality which Lucy freed. It was sothing the Princess always kept hidden. But her rationality was questionable right now due to her not drinking blood for at least a week. And for a newly born Vampire, that was really bad as they couldn't control themselves.
Queen Eve was stupefied, shocked. She couldn't believe what had happened in front of her. Her daughter had attacked her father with a crazy expression and spouted nonsense as if she was speaking to a man she loved dearly. "De-Dea…"
At that mont, Alesia teleported beside her and took her away from that area.
"It's dangerous." The headmaster said in a voice filled with danger before teleporting away with the Queen to where the other headmasters were. That was the safest place beside the table around the Pope where Rania and I stood.
My subordinates evacuated other people.
"Arthur…" Eliza called out to with a concerned tone. She was ready to use her Magic and wasn't as panicked as I expected.
"Stay with Rania and Tristan," I instructed Eliza assertively as I unsheathed the sword with a golden hilt on my waist.
I ran toward where King Cassius and Carissa were while brandishing my sword. At least I would end them, starting with Carissa. But I also gave Beatrice ti to complete her transformation first. I needed to admit that it was a great idea.
No one besides Vampires and knew that turning soone into a Vampire needed a ritual. They believed as long as they were bit by one, they would turn into one. This was sothing that we could use right now.
As I got close, Carissa suddenly stopped licking King Cassius' neck and backed away.
"Huh?" She muttered in confusion; her nose moved slightly. "It's not…"
It seed like she realized that the blood she just drank wasn't King Cassius, but mine. Beatrice used the vial of blood I gave her to make starving Carissa attack her in sight.
However, after drinking a bit of blood, her rational mind returned. She also managed to sll my blood through her enhanced sll and connected the two of them.
Before she finished her sentence, I swung my sword down and aid at her neck.
Noticing my advance, Carissa jumped away with her new AGI that was increased from her transformation into a Vampire. She landed a few ters away from , behind King Cassius (Beatrice) and gritted her teeth in anger. Her eyes turned bloodshot once again.
"Arthur Vainglory!" She shouted my na with a distorted voice filled with hate. "You!"
Her nails beca longer and turned sharp like a claw. They were red in color, and outlining them was nasty blood coming from the gap between them and the fingers.
"Long ti no see, Princess Carissa." I greeted her casually without a smile. "To think you would return as a Vampire and turn your father into one…"
My gaze swept over to King Cassius. His blue hair had turned white completely, and he muttered incomprehensible words that could only be understood as, "Blood… Hungry… Drink blood…"
What an act. If it were on Earth, Beatrice would surely get an Oscar, as expected from soone who managed to make feel a little troubled in the past. Her brain didn't turn mushy from drinking my sen too much in the past.
As for Carissa, it seed like her vampiric instinct was still uncontrollable in so parts. She was unable to use this chance to say sothing to defend herself and was drowned in her hatred toward . Her skin was red at so part, seemingly the result of a whip.
With a fast speed, she rushed toward . However, her movent was slow in my eyes, and I had ti to think of sothing.I think you should take a look at
'Mia punished her too harshly. That's why Carissa hated so much, huh? And combined with the ntal imprint given by Lucy, she prioritizes attacking instead of defending her reputation.'
My lips curled up into a smile as I blocked her clawing attack. A spark flew as her nails t with my sword. Not only were they sharp, but these nails were also sturdy.
Indeed, the sword I used wasn't sothing that ca from Horizon Online and instead was bought at a blacksmith in Academy City, but this was still a good sword considering it had a high-Level requirent to be equipped.
It was impressive that Carissa's nails weren't cut when t with the sword, considering her Level was only 23 according to my when she showed up earlier. Her status wasn't worth ntioning, and I only looked at her Level because I was curious.
That ant a Vampire's nails were originally sharp and sturdy. They should be a good material for clawed gloves.
While musing over that, I observed the surroundings and noticed that the guests had almost fully evacuated. Rania and Tristan also begin to kill the Vampires within the confined barrier easily.
'I should finish this soon. If I kill her, Carissa should revive in the Border City's revival spot, just as planned. Then King Cassius would go crazy, forcing to end him. That will be perfect. She will be able to use her to fool the general guests and the headmasters.'
I exerted a little bit of strength and pushed Carissa away.
"Guh." She grunted in pain as her expression twisted.
Using this chance, I stepped inside between her arms and grinned.
"See you again."
A flash strike flashed from below upward. It left a silver and golden trail as the sound of wind being split rang in the area.
At this mont, blood spurted like a fountain as Carissa's body was split in two. Her expression showed horror and disbelief as her eyes turned red, blood dripping from them.
"Aaarrghh!!"
"How dare you kill Princess!"
"Princess of Blood!!"
The remaining surviving Vampires, who numbered only 5 after Tristan and Rania killed half of them, shouted at once and tried to rush toward . They were trying to pass through the small opening created by the Pope in the barrier, which was guarded by my first love.
"I won't let you."
Pointing [Night's Edge] toward the rushing Vampires, she activated the effect of the short sword and created 10 flying shadows that resembled swords. With a flick of her fingers, they flew at fast speed and pierced those Vampires, at their hearts and heads, ending their miserable lives as they died.
With loud thuds, their bodies fell to the ground, and red blood created a big pool covering the surrounding ground.
At the sa ti, King Cassius also shouted madly.
"My love! My lovely Princess! Oooh, my daughter… How–" His expression twisted like a crazy man as he rushed toward , flailing his fist filled with Mana. "How dare you do that to my love, Paladin?!"
If that fist hit soone, the effect would be disastrous. That fist could even kill a Level 30 person in one hit, considering Beatrice's STR stats. According to what I knew, no one really knew King Cassius' real Level. Showing it off like this would definitely make them scared.
And thanks to this, I could attack him without holding back.
Swoosh!
My sword cut King Cassius' head in one sweep. What was shown in the other people's eyes should be this. But Pope Juriel and I saw sothing different.
No one was cut, and King Cassius' appearance had changed into a beautiful woman with purple hair. Her large breasts were only covered in a black latex crop top, and she wore frilly black shorts.
With a big, seductive smile on her face, she hugged from behind, pushing her soft breasts against my back.
"I did it, Master~ I will be waiting for your reward."
After saying that, she floated away and left the party hall to wait until everything was over.
'It's over.' I thought, swinging my sword to get rid of the blood on it and sheathed it while looking at the two corpses and blood that began to disappear into a mote of black light in front of . 'Truly, a job well done by Lucy and Beatrice.' I grinned in my mind.
