I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

"Isn't little Tina worried?"

Seeing that Istina did not seem too anxious after hearing that Eve was dealing with the demon alone, Elizabeth immediately became suspicious and began to gather blood-colored magic power in her palm.

"Ah! Someone told the Hero about this when I was in Wonderland, but I didn't know it was so badly damaged."

As she spoke, Istina glanced around at the mess on the ground with a dim look.

"Did anyone tell little Tina?"

After hearing what Istina said, Elizabeth relaxed her guard a little, but she still did not completely dissipate the magic power in her palm.

"Yes, the other party is the afterimage left behind by the Creator God who created the Wonderland. She sent the Hero out first, but I couldn't get out in time because of the battle outside. I was not able to get out until the Hero and the Demon God were teleported away together."

Istina said this with some uncertainty.

"The afterimage of the Goddess of Creation is certain that the Hero can defeat the Demon God. The reason is that the magic she gave him as a gift is very effective against the current Demon God. But it seems there is more to it than that. However, no matter how much I ask, she refuses to tell me."

"Gift?"

"Hmm...it's what we gained in Wonderland. I gained the magic of creation and the magic of destruction. The hero should have gained something as well."

"That's it..."

After hearing what Istina said, Elizabeth felt a little relieved, but she immediately told Istina not to plead for Eve when she was teaching her a lesson. If Istina had not refused, Elizabeth might have dragged her into the lesson as well.

Well, it seems like Eve can’t escape this scolding anyway.

§256 The Returning Person Part 2

"By the way, I want to ask Mom about Melchis."

As she spoke, Istina glanced in the direction of Melchis and Melceris. The noble aura of Melchis made her realize that the body currently being used was no longer the Melchis she was familiar with.

"When I was in Wonderland, the afterimage of the God of Creation said that Melchis was the God of Elves and had awakened. Is that true?"

Although it felt like she was asking an unnecessary question, Istina still wanted to confirm with Elizabeth.

"That's right, Tina knows about it too. So there's no need for Mom to explain the matter of the racial god."

"Well... the Creator has already told me, and later she will..."

Just as Istina was about to say that the Creator God would borrow her body to save Melchis, a wave of vibrations could be heard again from the space not far away...

"alert!"

The first one to arrive in front of the space rift was the Beast King Bestia, who was responsible for paying attention to the surroundings, and the others followed closely behind, staring closely at the space rift that was expanding little by little in front of them, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

No one knows whether the one who will emerge from it will be Eve, who has returned victorious, or the demon god who will destroy everything...

As for Istina, she was pulled behind Elizabeth and protected the moment the alarm sounded.

As the space crack expanded, a petite figure with silver hair walked out as several people watched nervously. It was Eve who was forcibly teleported away by the demon.

"Little Eve!"

"My dear hero! Are you okay?"

"It's okay, I'm not hurt at all."

As she spoke, Eve showed the two of them every part of her body. Everything was clean, without any blood or scars.

However, seeing that Eve had obviously changed her clothes, Elizabeth guessed that what happened would not be as easy as Eve said. Since Istina came out late, she did not see it, but she knew that Eve was not wearing this outfit just now.

"Even if he's injured, we wouldn't be able to tell. After all, the hero is a vampire."

"Uh...haha, that seems to be the case."

But at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere and dismantled Eve's stage directly and neatly.

"Eve is lying."

"Eh?"

Looking in the direction of the voice, I saw that Ilvia had appeared beside her at some point, staring at Eve expressionlessly and continued speaking.

"Eve just allowed herself to be beaten black and blue in order to completely destroy the will of the demon god. She was using herself as bait, preventing Arcana and I from coming out to fight with her. She also didn't use any stronger power, not even in her attack methods."

"Wei, Wei Ya, don't, don't say it."

Feeling Elizabeth's gradually stern eyes and the kind smile on the corner of her mouth, Eve felt a blood-red word "danger" appear above her head.

However, Ilvia, who was always very well-behaved, completely ignored her words this time and continued to state the objective facts calmly.

"In the end, I relied on my Suigetsu to recover my body. Otherwise, even my self-healing ability would have been ineffective due to the demon god's attack."

That’s not all, Ilvia even got another blow once.

"After destroying the Demon God's will, he still wanted to use his body and the entire space to drag Eve to be buried with him. If I hadn't used Shuiyue to restore Eve to her condition, it would have been dangerous."

After saying this, Ilvia turned into a ray of light and sank into Eve's body, ignoring her no matter how Eve called out.

"Little E.F?"

Elizabeth read Eve's name word by word, and even though she had a smile on her face, Eve shuddered all over.

"Is this what little Eve meant by unharmed? Hmm?"

"Master Brave!!!"

Even Istina looked at Eve with a slightly blaming look.

"Um...um...I'm doing this so that the Demon God won't reappear for a while. Everything is under my control. Now that this part of the Demon God's will has been directly destroyed by me, it will probably take some time to recover before it can reappear and cause trouble again, so..."

“Eve!!!!”

Before Eve could finish, Elizabeth interrupted her sternly.

"Next time, don't do this again."

"…Um."

Knowing that she was clearly wrong this time, Eve admitted her mistake obediently.

"I'm glad you're okay. Welcome back."

As she spoke, Elizabeth gently took Eve into her arms and stroked her beautiful silver hair.

"Well, I'm back."

At this time, Melchis had also flown to the side of the mother and daughter, watching them quietly without disturbing them.

Although she didn't have much time left, she still had this little bit of time, and it was also a good opportunity for her to communicate with another self.

"Are you ready?"

In her mind, two twin-like figures were sitting opposite each other. Although they looked exactly the same, their temperaments were completely different and there was no way to mistake them.

"Um…"

Looking at Melchis's slightly gloomy expression, the God of Elves suddenly held her in his arms.

"Feel sorry…"

"..."

In response to her apology, Melchis in her arms silently shook her head slightly, then pushed her away slightly.

"I know. This is our duty and our destiny, so there's no need to apologize."

Although there was some reluctance in his eyes, it was more of the realization after making up his mind.

"……Um."

The two red lips opened and closed slightly, and finally the God of Elves just nodded slightly.

"Then I'll leave my body to you."

As the Elf God spoke, his figure faded away, and Melchis regained control of her body.

"Eve, I have something I want to tell you. Can I speak first?"

When she opened her eyes again, Eve had left Elizabeth's arms and was looking at her, as if she wanted to say something to her, but she was one step ahead of her.

"Well, then let Shizu go first."

After noticing a sudden change in the aura of the figure in front of her, Eve knew that it was the familiar Melchis who was controlling the body.

She had originally intended to tell the other party that she had a way to save her, but seeing Melchis's serious look that refused to be refused, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

Anyway, there is no need to rush for the good news from her side, and the time to implement it is not yet. After all, it can only be started after Melhis completes the mission of saving the elves and before her consciousness returns to the divine core to sleep and recuperate, so there is no need to rush.

§257 Farewell

"Eve, and Tina."

Standing in mid-air not far from the two of them, Melchis looked at them with an extremely satisfied smile, and gentle words full of will and awareness also rang out in the quiet sky.

——I am an empty shell.

——The birth of nothing.

——Leaving without taking anything.

——This is my destiny.

——Because I was born in accordance with the wishes of the elves, it is my duty to protect the elves.

——But because of my encounter with you, the girl who was originally an empty shell gained a name and had feelings.

——I should have had nothing, but I gained a miracle in just a few months.

——It’s really great to meet you in this short time.

——Although I don’t know the outcome of this love, it is enough.

——Don't worry, I'm not dead. I've just turned into the World Tree to watch over you forever.

——But, but...if possible, I really want to continue living with Eve.

——Well, goodbye then.

After saying this, without waiting for Eve to react, Melchis's figure collapsed into a bright golden light and fell towards the World Tree below.

The moment the light touched the World Tree, the two merged together. As the light merged, the World Tree, which had begun to die, was instantly injected with infinite vitality, and began to grow rapidly as if in fast forward. New branches and tender leaves continued to sprout, and fruits were born on the branches. It seemed that the World Tree would soon be able to return to its original appearance.

And at the bottom of the World Tree, a blooming lily was lying quietly under the tree, with the blood-red and golden flowers echoing each other, as if commemorating the girl who passed away here.

However, after listening to Melchis's confession, Eve fell into silence.

"Little Eve..."

Seeing Eve like this, Elizabeth tried to comfort her, but in the end she couldn't say anything.

She had given Eve some materials from Wonderland, hoping that it could be of some help when the current situation came, hoping to delay the time before Melchis disappeared a little, to see if there could be any turning point.

However, the destruction caused by the demon was too horrific. Before it could be of any use, it transformed itself into the World Tree and returned to sleep. It was unknown when and where it would wake up again.

"...If you want to know the ending of your heart, then don't give up like this."

Looking at the place where Melchis had just been, Eve whispered softly, and the next moment an extremely terrifying power burst out from her body, turning into a purple-black beam of light that shot straight into the clouds.

"Tina! Let's do it!"

"Ok!"

Hearing Eve's cry, Istina also began to call upon the God of Creation hidden in her body. Suddenly, a dazzling golden light burst out from her body, as if reflecting Eve.

When Istina opened her eyes again, her originally cherry-pink hair and eyes had turned into dazzling gold, and the aura around her also changed into a gentle yet sacred strange feeling, as if everything in the world was created by her.

"Lady Elizabeth, what are they going to do?"

Looking at the two people who suddenly exploded, Merceris, who had not yet recovered from the departure of the God of Elves, suppressed her sadness and asked Elizabeth.

Not only Eve, but even the power erupting from Istina at this moment was already extremely close to that of them, far surpassing the feeling just now.

"I do not know either."
