I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

This princess, who in his eyes had tarnished the royal bloodline, had rarely appeared in the past year. Her only public appearance was her speech at the Awakening Ceremony.

The rest of the time, she seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. No one who stayed in the imperial city had ever seen her appear, as if the vampire clan did not have this princess.

Naturally, some people asked about this matter during this period, but Elizabeth always avoided answering. Even if they investigated privately themselves, there was no result. After a long time, they half gave up.

After all, nothing can undermine one's confidence more than fruitless efforts.

In Luke Sertat's original impression, he did not take Eve's strength into consideration. In his eyes, Eve was just a junior, a little thief who had plagiarized the noble bloodline. It was enough to let the young people in the family target her. What he should be responsible for was to unite others to put pressure on the Queen and demand that she deprive her of her bloodline.

Although there were some unexpected events in the plan later, because Eve's strength exceeded his expectations, the people responsible for bullying Eve were single-handedly dealt with by her who had not yet participated in the awakening ceremony, and even he had to sacrifice a Libel.

There is still a long way to go between dominating the younger generation and being able to challenge the real strong ones like them.

The private army and the black power crystals he prepared were only so that when things developed to the point where he needed to kill Eve by force, he would have the means to break through the guards' defense and get to Eve. As for how to kill Eve, it was just a piece of cake for him. He only needed one hand to crush the thief to death.

If it weren't for Eve, this despicable human, who had tarnished the bloodline of the vampire royal family, she wouldn't even be worthy of appearing in his sight.

But at this moment, after facing Eve face to face, Luke Sertat finally understood one thing.

This little thief, no, it should be said that this existence named Eve is an absolute monster.

At this moment, he even had the illusion that he was facing the Queen of the Blood Clan.

Although the fight had not actually begun, the overflowing sense of oppression and the sixth sense honed over a long period of time had already told him his outcome.

dead.

Will definitely die.

bump--

No one caught sight of Eve when the battle actually began.

They only heard a dull sound and the subsequent explosion of dust. When the dust dispersed, Luke Sertat, the patriarch of the Sertat clan and one of the most powerful vampires in the vampire clan, was thrown to the ground by Eve without any ability to resist. He was deeply embedded in the ground, and countless spider-web-like cracks spread out.

Behind Eve, countless blood-colored lines burst out, sweeping across the Setet clan's base and the private army that was still rushing out like a pair of wings, and then disappeared, followed by a chaotic sound that kept ringing.

And in front of the Imperial City Guards, an unimaginable scene unfolded.

Just like the scene of the private army being chopped into pieces just now was magnified, the entire Setet clan’s base began to collapse and turned into ruins in the blink of an eye.

The earth collapsed and was divided by thin lines. Countless chopped limbs mixed with building debris fell into the hollowed-out underground and eventually mixed together.

As the long-established base of the Setet clan, it was naturally blessed and protected by various defensive magics, but these magics did not play any role at all, and were all equally reduced to ruins in front of the blood-red line that passed by lightly.

“…Come…come…save…”

At this moment, a discontinuous sound suddenly came into Eve's ears, which made her dazed and the strength in her hands loosened.

Luke Sertat, who was knocked into the ground, immediately seized the brief moment when Eve was distracted and punched her hard in front of her body, knocking her out with a loud bang, attracting the guards to rush over to help Eve.

"Stay in formation."

But the next moment, Eve flew back unharmed, landed in front of everyone, and reached out to stop them.

Luke Sertat's punch just now didn't even leave any mark on her body.

"Tsk..."

Although he had expected this, when he actually saw this scene, even Luke, who was a man of his character, couldn't help but be shocked.

It really is a monster.

Even though the attack just now happened suddenly and the strength he could mobilize was limited, it didn't feel like his punch hit the defensive magic.

In other words, the opponent took his attack without any reaction.

But what exactly happened at that moment? Judging from the strength of this monster, it doesn't seem like he would make such a serious mistake.

Eve herself was also thinking about this issue at this time.

The voice just now...seemed to come from Viya?

Recalling the voice that suddenly appeared in her ears, Eve frowned slightly and looked in the direction of Ilvia.

If she was mistaken, the voice came from the connection between Ilvia and herself, but it didn't sound like it was spoken by Ilvia herself.

So the question is, what kind of existence can intervene in the communication that should only be between the weapon spirit and the contractor?

What's even more strange is that Ilvia didn't hear the sound just now. When Eve was knocked back to her senses and asked her in her mind, Ilvia was completely confused and didn't hear any sound.

What is going on here?

No, let’s get rid of the opponent in front of us first, otherwise it would be bad if the situation just now happened again.

Since the other party has not been contaminated by the power of the devil, maybe we can choose to capture him alive and see if we can ask him some questions about how he colluded with the devil's believers and how he obtained the power of the devil.

However, if you want to capture him alive, you need to destroy his ability to resist, otherwise these soldiers alone will not be able to stop him.

Well... I'll just try my best. Anyway, I'm in the city now and there are friendly troops behind me. I can't use those large-scale attack methods.

§7 Capture alive

"Let's fight quickly."

After muttering something in a low voice, Eve lowered her body and pointed in the direction of Luke Sertat. Since she intended to capture him alive, she did not use the holy sword or the air blade.

At this time, Luke Sertat's body was already covered with various blessing magics, and he had a lot of various trigger props hanging on his body to prevent him from being pinned to the ground by Eve like he had just done, without any ability to resist.

But for Eve, his preparations only changed the situation of crushing him to death with one hand into capturing him alive with two hands.

By the way, the extra hand is mainly responsible for preventing the other hand from accidentally squeezing the other hand to death.

As for those magic and props? They can only provide some psychological comfort.

bump--

With a dull thud, just like before, Eve punched Luke in the stomach, causing him to hunch over like a shrimp.

Those defensive magics and props were like a piece of thin paper, unable to provide any hindrance. Even Luke, who thought he was extremely focused, was unable to detect anything.

When he reacted, all he could feel was Eve right in front of him and the severe pain in his abdomen.

"Goo-"

It was as if every bit of air in Luke's lungs was knocked out by this punch. A strange sound came out of his throat and his face turned red.

Along with this, he heard the clear sound of bones breaking - several of his ribs were broken by Eve's punch.

Enduring the pain in his abdomen, just as Luke was about to counterattack Eve, he was greeted by a smooth side kick that directly shattered his left arm and ribs, causing his body to roll uncontrollably into the ruins behind him, stirring up a cloud of dust.

"Hmm... the force shouldn't be too much, right?"

Clenching her fists, Eve said uncertainly as she recalled the attack just now.

At least he wasn't killed, but it seemed the force wasn't strong enough, at least he couldn't completely deprive the opponent of his combat effectiveness.

A mere comminuted fracture and massive internal bleeding can still be recovered with the vampire's self-healing ability.

It seems that we still need to increase the strength a bit. After all, this guy is not too weak and should not die so easily.

Normally we fight wars of annihilation where no one needs to be left alive, so it's hard to control the strength when we suddenly have to show mercy.

At this time, Luke, who was knocked away again in a fight, finally reacted. Several spears made of blood burst out from the dust and headed straight for Eve, and he himself turned into a blood-red shadow and followed closely.

"Prison... never mind."

Seeing the blood-red spear flying towards her, Eve subconsciously wanted to use the Hellfire Star to deal with it, but then she thought again and was worried that Luke who was following closely behind might not be able to withstand the explosion, so Eve chose to solve it with her bare hands.

Snapped--

She pulled away the spear that was in the way and blocked the spear that would have affected the soldiers. The next moment, Eve appeared above the blood shadow that Luke had transformed into.

At this time, Luke was wrapped in a kind of magic that consumed blood to increase his own attributes such as strength and speed, and also had the effect of being immune to a certain degree of physical attacks.

It seems that after being hit twice by Eve, Luke also started to choose targeted abilities.

But this is just self-deception. After all, Eve's high magical talent is well known in the vampire clan. The fact that she has been taking physical attacks now is certainly not because she only knows how to use physical attacks. At most, she doesn't want to use magic to end the battle.

But now that he was immune to some physical attacks, he thought to himself, "I guess I can make that monster take me more seriously, right?"

However, even this plan could not be realized.

bump--

Even though Luke was immune to some physical attacks and was moving at high speed, Eve still accurately punched Luke in the waist, knocking him into a V shape and embedding him in the ground again. A mouthful of blood finally spurted out of his mouth.

Although Luke's blood shadow state at this time made him immune to some physical impacts, it seemed to be ineffective in the face of such terrifying power.

But he knew clearly that without the protection of this immune ability, he would have been smashed into two pieces by now.

This monster...

Feeling that unmatched power, Luke could only curse in his heart.

At this time, Luke had already clearly realized one thing - no matter what means he took, he could not shake the opponent in front of him.

Because the entire waist and part of the spine were shattered by a punch, Luke could no longer control his body. His blood clan power was madly squeezing his magic power, trying to repair his physical injuries, but that would take a certain amount of time, even if he was a member of the top blood clan.

Among the entire vampire clan, only the royal family can achieve such a rapid recovery that is almost instantaneous.

Eve naturally wouldn't give him this time. After all, as a member of the vampire clan, she knew too well how strong the vampire clan's self-healing ability was.

Even though Luke's waist is shattered, his spine is twisted, and his internal organs are displaced, as long as you give him some time and enough magic power, he will soon come back to fight you for another three hundred rounds as if nothing had happened.

Grabbing the back of Luke's head, Eve slammed him down hard, then dragged his body and plowed a deep groove on the ground. Finally, she kicked him hard in the waist to finish, kicking back the little progress he had made.

At this moment, Luke Sertat no longer had the demeanor of the clan leader he had at the beginning. Under Eve's continuous blows, he was like a dead dog with a broken spine, lying on the ruins beside him, unable to bend even a finger.

His clothes were badly torn, and his precious magic props were shattered to pieces. Although it was unknown whether he had any trump cards up his sleeve, judging from his current appearance, it was unlikely that he would be able to use them.

If his body hadn't been twitching slightly, it wouldn't be surprising if others mistook him for a dead person.

"That should be enough, right? My magic power has been used up on self-healing for the time being, and I've lost my ability to move."

After looking Luke up and down, Eve said uncertainly.

Then use magic to drain all of the opponent's magic power, keeping him in a state of serious injury but not death. That should be considered as capturing him alive, right?

Eve didn't have much exposure to this aspect, but she thought there should be someone in the guard who knew about it. Thinking of this, Eve made a gesture to the captain of the guard beside her.

"your Highness!"

"Is there anything that can restrain him? As the clan leader, he should know as much information about the Demon God's followers as possible, or should he be injured more severely?"

"The current state is sufficient. Please wait a moment, Your Highness."

Looking at Luke Sertat who was still unable to move a finger not far away, and hearing Eve's declaration that she was going to stab him a few more times, the captain of the guard raised his eyebrows.

Not to mention it’s not enough. If Her Royal Highness the Princess had been more ruthless, we would have had to contact a professional team to deal with the aftermath.

"Well, let's get it over with quickly."

"Yes!"

§8 A Call from Afar

As Eve had expected, the soldiers of the Royal Guard had already prepared props to restrict magic recovery and movement when they came to carry out the mission in order to deal with possible prisoners. After Eve defeated Luke Setet, they began to shackle and escort the remaining people of the Setet clan one by one in an orderly manner.

Although no one currently alive has been contaminated by the power of the devil, necessary interrogation is still necessary. As for their fate, it has little to do with Eve and depends entirely on themselves. If they are really irrelevant people, they should be demoted to civilians in the end, but if they are involved with the power of the devil, they will be executed.

"Strange...monster..."

Before Luke Sertat was shackled and dragged away, he looked at Eve angrily, coughing up blood from time to time and speaking with gritted teeth.

"Excellent."

But Eve just waved her hand calmly, signaling the soldiers to take him away, and then ignored the guy.

"Hmm... It feels like there's some demonic power in this ruin too? But it's probably dead."

Looking at the ruins of the Setet clan's headquarters in front of her, Eve frowned slightly.

"Viya Gang...eh, Viya?"

Just when Eve wanted Ilvia to help her confirm, she saw Ilvia seemed to be in a trance, walking straight in one direction, and turning a deaf ear to her call.
