I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

"Varied--!"

It was okay for Eve and Istina, after all, they had known about this for a long time, and Eve was called back because of this. But for Edith, the news was a little too shocking.

Even though she had experienced many events that were worthy of being recorded in history as a great general of the vampire clan, she couldn't help but feel a little shaken at this moment.

Because this means that at least four families will be liquidated and replaced by newcomers. Excluding the royal family, these clans already account for one-third of the total number of top clans in the blood clan.

"All preparations before and after the event have been completed, and there won't be any major disturbances within the vampire clan."

In order to reassure Edith, Elizabeth continued after dropping the bombshell.

"The time for action is today. The four of us will each lead a team to suppress the situation. Those who disobey will be killed, and those who surrender will be arrested. If anyone uses demonic power, they will be killed immediately. If you are unable to defeat them, contact Little Eve for help."

"Your Majesty! With all due respect, you do not need to personally dispatch this person. Furthermore, the strength of the princess and... this young lady..."

As soon as Elizabeth finished explaining the next arrangements, Edith immediately began to advise her.

There was still a hint of hesitation in Edith's voice at the end, and she didn't say exactly what she was going to say, but she undoubtedly had some doubts about the strength of Eve and the others. She also believed that as the Queen of the Blood Clan, Elizabeth didn't need to condescend to take action personally. Although the matter of liquidating the Blood Clan was a serious matter, it was enough to leave it to her to handle, and there was no need for Elizabeth to do it herself.

But this is quite normal. After all, for most people, Eve's record is still limited to killing Emrik who used the power of the demon. In addition, Edith has been stationed in the far west for many years, so naturally she doesn't know much about Eve, not to mention there is also Istina who is a completely transparent person.

However, the true strength of Eve and the other girl has definitely exceeded Edith's imagination. Not to mention Eve, who is already stronger than Elizabeth, even Istina's current strength should not be underestimated.

After being possessed by the God of Creation, her magic power level has exploded like a blowout. Combined with the destructive magic, her strength has surpassed Eve, who was still a brave warrior back then. She is enough to be listed as the strongest among the human race, although she has been abducted by the vampire princess and has nothing to do with the human race.

Speaking of which, the last time Eve and Edith met formally was probably when Eve's identity was officially announced, but that was just a business matter and there wasn't much communication between the two afterwards.

As for the reason, Eve had the impression that something suddenly went wrong on the Far Western Front, so Edith hurried back after attending the ceremony.

Not to mention Elizabeth, the Queen of the Vampires. Due to her status and position, apart from the recent battle with the Demon God and the thwarting of Eve's beheading attempt by the Brave Man, there has been no record of her publicly fighting for decades.

Therefore, Edith's advice can be said to be completely reasonable.

As for Edith, the user of the demonic power mentioned by Elizabeth, she was not too worried. After all, her main job was to deal with the monsters in the abyss every day, which was a perfect match for her.

"No, this situation is a little special."

Shaking her head slightly, Elizabeth rejected Edith's suggestion and continued.

"We need to eliminate the four bloodline factions at the same time to prevent them from being on guard."

After saying that, Elizabeth looked at Eve and the other person again.

"As for Little Eve and Little Tina's abilities, Edith, don't worry. They are more than capable of doing the job."

"Okay...I will follow the Queen's orders."

Seeing that Elizabeth had no intention of changing her order, Edith had no choice but to lower her head and agree to Elizabeth's order.

"Little Eve will be in charge of the Setet clan, Tina will be in charge of the Gangro clan, and Mother and Edith will be in charge of the remaining two clans. After arriving at the main clan houses, launch simultaneous attacks. Before the attack, issue this order to eliminate the remaining gang members in the territory."

As she spoke, Elizabeth took out four communication crystals from under the table and placed them on the table. It seemed that she had made all the preparations.

"Since we need to simultaneously blockade the branch clans within the clan's territory, the number of people participating in the siege of the main clan won't be too large. If there are any resistances that require our intervention, prioritize your own safety during the battle, not capturing them alive."

After saying that, Elizabeth looked at the people in front of her and asked finally.

"So, do you have any questions?"

"No, can we go now?"

As Eve spoke, she couldn't wait to pinch her fingers, making a crunching sound. After all, the feud between her and the Bloodline Faction was a long-standing one, and she had been picked on many times before she recovered her memory.

"Take this crystal, block the teleportation before the battle begins, then crush it and use it as a beacon for the army."

Finally, Elizabeth took out four more crystal stones and placed them together with the previous communication crystal.

"Each team has 500 soldiers, enough to deal with the general combat power within the clan's base. However, the clan leader will likely need to be dealt with personally. They are likely colluding with the demon god, so be careful when fighting."

"Well~ Don't worry, mother. I'll go help others after I finish my side."

As she spoke, Eve picked up the four crystals and placed them in her and Istina's arms.

"Teleport—ah, I forgot I can't teleport directly."

Subconsciously, she wanted to teleport away, but then Eve remembered that teleportation was not possible inside the imperial city, and scratched her cheek in embarrassment.

"Then mother, Tina and I will go first~"

With that, Eve took Istina's hand and left the study.

"Well, let's go."

After watching Eve and the other person leave, Elizabeth looked at Edith and asked.

"A bit worried about little Eve?"

"Yes... Princess, as your only heir, I really shouldn't condescend to do these things with you. You can just leave it to me. Even though we can't do it at the same time, it will only take a week at most."

In terms of the connections between the bloodline factions, once one of them is attacked, the other clans will inevitably be alerted and will not be able to launch a surprise attack like this, but based on the apparent power comparison, they can still be wiped out.

"Edith has been busy on the Far Western Front and hasn't paid much attention to the situation in the rear."

In response to Edith's question, Elizabeth simply smiled and asked softly.

"Yes... a large-scale wave broke out on the Far Western Front not long ago, but it ended very abruptly, so I've been investigating it recently and haven't paid much attention to the situation in the rear."

In response to Elizabeth's question, Edith looked a little ashamed and lowered her head.

"The reason the wave suddenly ended is related to Little Eve."

"Eh?"

Hearing this unexpected statement, Edith raised her head in surprise.

"During the battle at the World Tree Royal Court, Little Eve destroyed part of the Demon God's will. This must have caused the aberration of the Abyss Wave. So, there's no need to worry about Little Eve's strength at all."

Because it was so shocking, Elizabeth retained the part where Eve was already better than her.

"So, as a mother, I can't fall too far behind."

Elizabeth stood up as she spoke, and the smile on her face disappeared.

"Let's go, it's time to teach the bloodline faction a lesson."

"Yes!"

§3 Obsession

Within the vampire clan, the Setet clan.

As one of the most powerful clans among the vampires, this clan, which has been passed down for a long time, has inherited the glory of its ancestors and has taken its identity and bloodline as an honor for generations.

In their eyes, as a member of the Setet clan, their blood is nobler than that of commoners.

Even other people from the same powerful clan are only on par with them. Looking at the blood clan, only the blood of the blood clan royal family can make them bow down.

But in this generation, the extremely noble bloodline of the vampire royal family was tainted.

Although they lack direct evidence due to the strict and complete information blockade by the current Vampire Queen Elizabeth, numerous indirect evidences show that the current Vampire Princess Eve Lesombra was originally just a despicable human. The only special thing about her is that she awakened the holy sword passed down from generation to generation among the human race - it is said to be one of the weapons to destroy the devil.

Although they didn't know how the other party survived the vampire royal family's first embrace without exploding to death or turning into a blood slave, it didn't matter. The only thing they cared about was that the vampire royal family's bloodline was tainted.

Although they had made many overt and covert admonitions to the Blood Queen, she had no intention of accepting their opinions at all.

The idea of ​​sending clan members to target the other party also completely failed. Although lowly blood flowed in her veins, the other party's strength was not weak at all, and was not something that the younger generation of their clan could contend with.

Then don't blame them for using some special means, even if it means getting involved in those forces that are strictly prohibited.

Originally, before things reached this point, their actions could barely be considered as being for the good of the vampire clan, until the people in the family chose to be contaminated by that dark power...

If they wanted to achieve their dream of purging the emperor's court, even without mentioning the unrivaled and powerful Queen Elizabeth of the Blood Clan, the army directly under the imperial city alone was an insurmountable chasm for them. At least, they were completely unable to compete with the private soldiers in their territory.

Just when they were at a loss, a group of mysterious people suddenly came to their door. They brought a black power crystal. As long as the soldiers swallowed this power crystal, their strength would increase a lot in a short period of time, and there seemed to be no side effects.

So after a period of negotiation, the two sides hit it off. The other party was responsible for providing the black power, while they began to accumulate strength to prepare for the future purge of the court.

But as time went on, that black power crystallization revealed some serious problems.

The first is addiction. Just like drugs, the more times this black power crystal is ingested, the more dependent it will become. At first, this feeling is very weak, which is why they failed to discover this hidden danger in time, but as time goes by, this feeling will become more and more obvious and uncontrollable, or it can be said that the feeling after it becomes stronger makes it impossible to give up.

In short, all the soldiers who have been contaminated by the black power crystals can no longer leave this power.

What's worse is that some decision-makers in the clan also chose to use this power and joined the ranks of addiction. Therefore, under the influence of the general trend within the clan, even if some people wanted to terminate the cooperation, they couldn't do it.

Their current situation is like drinking poison to quench thirst. They know clearly that there is a glass of poison in front of them, but if they don't drink it, they will die of thirst. As for detoxification, they can wait until later. At least they have to drink the wine in front of them first.

The second is the desire for destruction. As the number of intakes increases, anyone who has used this black power crystal will have an irresistible desire for destruction in their heart. It can be suppressed at first, but as the situation develops, this feeling will become increasingly difficult to control.

At first, this desire can be vented through fighting, but as time goes by, if the battle does not involve bloodshed, this impulse cannot be suppressed. Later, unless someone dies and it is a brutal killing, this impulse will not disappear.

Even though they have no weapons and cannot use magic, they will tear the enemy's body apart bit by bit with just their hands and teeth, and will not stop until they have ripped out the opponent's heart, just like a mad beast.

It seemed as if only the feeling of blood flowing down the throat could bring them temporary satisfaction.

And this is not the end of the nightmare.

It was as if there was some mysterious restriction. Later, if both sides of the battle had used that black power crystal, then the battle between them would not be able to alleviate the desire for destruction, as if only the blood of irrelevant people could wash away this desire.

Therefore, in order to prevent these people who gained powerful strength by using the black power crystals from going berserk, the clan had to start handing over the prisoners who were supposed to be executed to them so that they could quench their desire for destruction.

Even though their clan managed an entire territory, the rate of consumption far exceeded the output of death row prisoners. Later, they could only barely fill the gap by purchasing slaves, but it was only a matter of time before this delicate balance collapsed.

Because as time goes by, the number of people they need to suppress their desire for destruction becomes larger and larger each time.

Things are on the verge of getting out of control at this point. Except that everyone hasn't gone berserk and rushed into the town to kill people indiscriminately, they are already no different from being out of control. But that is only a matter of time.

At present, those who have used the black power are concentrated below their clan’s headquarters, like a time bomb that will destroy the town once it explodes.

When things developed to this point, the patriarch of the Setet clan became like a madman, and made killing Eve his only goal.

The Setet clan is no longer viable, doomed to destruction after failing to provide enough men to quell the destructive desires of those tainted by the black power.

Although the bloodline may not be completely severed, the title will undoubtedly be stripped away, and at least none of the related persons in the main family will be able to escape.

But! But before that, at least drag the guy who defiled the royal family of the vampires into hell.

It can be said that the Setet clan has gone crazy now, but at the same time they are extremely rational. They will not choose to explode without absolute certainty.

Just like a poisonous snake lurking in the shadows, waiting for the opportunity to strike a fatal blow.

But their dormancy ended there, because suddenly, a blood-red sky enveloped the entire Setet clan...

§4 Pre-War Declaration

"Is this where it is?"

Standing in front of the Setet clan's headquarters, Eve used magic to roughly detect the situation here before taking any action.

"Hmm? The ground beneath me is practically hollowed out? And it looks like there are still a lot of people living there?"

After just a quick look, the almost completely hollowed-out underground attracted Eve's attention.

After all, vampires have no habit of living underground.

"Eve."

At this moment, Ilvia, who was following her, suddenly pulled Eve's arm.

“I feel uncomfortable.”

With a slight frown, Ilvia looked at the Setet clan's headquarters in front of her and pronounced the death penalty on them.

"So, does that mean it has the power of a demon god? That wouldn't be surprising. Is it located below or somewhere else?"

After all, according to the intelligence obtained by the Blood Clan's Secret Guards, these four bloodline clans all have some deep or shallow collusion with the Demon God.

"Well... both, but I feel particularly uncomfortable down there."

After feeling it carefully, Ilvia pointed to the holes underground.

“I have both… This is a bit troublesome.”

After hearing Ilvia's perception results, Eve sighed helplessly.
