I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

He hasn't revived the family yet!

How could he just die like that?

However, even though he was extremely unwilling, the seriously injured Dai ** still took his last breath, and his body fell into the crack and disappeared.

Just like the others who died in this terrible disaster, Dai **'s death did not cause the slightest ripple. No one knew about it, and no one cared, not even his slaves or his group of cronies.

The scope of this disaster is still expanding. In a blink of an eye, the aristocratic district has fallen into the bottomless abyss just like the imperial palace.

After engulfing the aristocratic area, the disaster did not stop, and countless cracks continued to spread towards the civilian area.

In the larger civilian areas, people's reactions were also different. Some people chose to join the fleeing crowd, trying to escape the disaster that was approaching rapidly behind them. Some people, knowing that there was no hope of escape, chose to gather with their families, quietly snuggling together to enjoy their last dinner.

Thanks to the imperial emperor's order, everyone's table today is exceptionally sumptuous.

"Mom! I want to eat this!"

"Yeah, okay~ Mommy will feed you~"

With tears in her eyes, the lady gathered herself together, picked up a piece of cream cake on the table and handed it to her daughter.

She had been reluctant to buy such an expensive cream cake in the past, but she never expected that this would be the last meal for the mother and daughter.

"Mom, why is it so noisy outside?"

The deafening footsteps outside the house mixed with the angry curses of the crowd came through the wall into the house, making it quite noisy.

"Well... since everyone is on vacation today, the streets will be quite noisy."

"That's it..."

The little girl nodded as if she understood, and suddenly saw tears in the corners of her mother's eyes. She naively stretched out her tender little hands and gently wiped away her mother's tears.

"Don't cry, mom. I'll give you the cake!"

"Yeah, don't cry, mom."

Although she said not to cry, the mother suddenly hugged her daughter in front of her, crying and holding her tightly in her arms, as if this could protect her.

At this time, the noisy footsteps outside had disappeared unnoticed, and the dark crack like a huge mouth of the abyss had reached the outside of the cabin, about to swallow up the tiny mother and daughter.

§121 The Imperial Capital Falls

[Note: There was something wrong with the name of the NPC in the previous chapter, and it was unexpectedly killed by the harmony. Everyone, please just come up with a name to replace it...]

The disaster in the imperial capital is still going on, but those who first ran to the city gate have already faced a deeper despair.

I saw that the wide and heavy city gate had been slammed shut at some point, and the city defense equipment on the city wall that was originally used to guard against foreign enemies turned its barrels and aimed at the people fleeing in the city. Then, bursts of terrifying roars came into people's ears, and countless limbs and arms in the crowd below were scattered in the shock wave of the explosion. The charred black after the flames and the bright red of blood became the main colors of the earth.

For those who tried to escape by climbing the hundred-meter-high city wall with their own strength, the large group of soldiers in metal armor on the wall ruthlessly knocked them all down halfway. Even if there were fast people who ran up in the chaos, they would be ruthlessly killed by these soldiers.

Few people could escape successfully in the face of these chasing and blocking soldiers.

Seeing that they could not escape from above, everyone tried to attack the city walls and gates in front of them, but the defense of the imperial capital was not in vain.

They tried their best, draining every ounce of their strength to attack, but they couldn't even leave a trace on the surface, let alone create a gap big enough for everyone to pass through.

The imperial capital, the largest and most magnificent city built by humans, has turned into a giant meat grinder, vowing to devour every life in the city.

"Help me—!"

"I don't want to die..."

"Why!!!"

No one knew whether the soldiers heard the wailing of the crowd below, but they knew one thing - they were about to die.

During the time they were blocked by the city wall, the dark crack in the ground that had finally created a little distance between them was already approaching behind them.

Boom——Boom——Boom——

Amidst the roar, the ground beneath everyone's feet cracked rapidly, turning into isolated islands that were constantly collapsing. The artillery fire on the city wall also shifted its target at this time, concentrating its firepower on the larger islands to speed up their collapse, without paying any attention to the cracks in the ground that were spreading towards the city wall.

boom--

An even more terrifying roar once again reached the ears of the people who were struggling on the isolated island. They saw that the city wall that had previously blocked their hope of escape like a natural barrier was broken into countless pieces and slowly collapsed towards them in the dust like a landslide.

But what frightened them even more were the soldiers on the city wall. Even at this critical moment of life and death, those soldiers seemed to have no desire to survive at all. They were still operating various city defense equipment to continuously attack them until the moment they fell into the abyss.

"No - don't -!"

"Mother--!"

"what--!!!"

Amid the horrified voices of the crowd, isolated islands continued to collapse and fall into the bottomless abyss.

In the end, all that remained of the original imperial capital was a bottomless giant sinkhole, and the city that had been built with all the talent of humanity was no longer visible.

And in the depths of the tiankeng, a monster that has swallowed up all life in the imperial capital is about to be born.

It was a huge, pitch-black cocoon ball, composed entirely of slowly flowing black mud, and was located right below where the imperial palace once stood.

At this moment, the cocoon ball was like a sea urchin growing deep in the ground, with countless black tentacles spreading out from the cocoon ball and extending all the way to the distance.

These tentacles also have the same power as the cocoon ball to attract and compress all surrounding matter. The previous vibrations and cracks on the ground were caused by this.

As for those who fell down, they were naturally absorbed by these tentacles, and then turned into nutrients and transported to the core black cocoon ball. Then the cocoon ball transported them to where the demon was to repair the damage to the demon's core.

On the ground, as the imperial capital was completely swallowed up, the crack in the ground stopped after spreading for a distance. There were no longer enough sacrifices here, and it was time to go to a new location to continue offering sacrifices to the Lord Demon.

"Take it back."

As the consciousness controlling the cocoon ball gave the order, most of the tentacles quickly retracted into the cocoon ball, leaving only a few tentacles to support the cocoon ball itself to prevent it from falling further. The originally flowing black mud on the surface of the cocoon ball also began to condense and turned into a solid shell.

crackling——

After a while, some tiny sounds suddenly came from the originally quiet underground again, as if it was the sound of something breaking, and the direction from which the sound came was exactly towards the cocoon ball.

Crack, crackle.

As the sounds became more frequent, countless cracks appeared on the cocoon ball, as if the thing brewing inside was about to emerge.

rub--

Suddenly, a strange long blade that was completely black and seemed to be able to swallow up the light burst out from the cocoon ball and directly cut a hole in the hard cocoon ball.

But what emerged from it was not a humanoid being, but a pool of semi-solid black mud similar to slime. The long blade that pierced the cocoon ball seemed to have been forcibly attached, which was extremely abrupt.

Wow.

Suddenly, the long blade turned into flowing black mud again and merged into the main body, while the black mud ball that was the main body began to wriggle and began to deform, compress and change color, and vaguely took the shape of a human figure.

When the transformation was over, a middle-aged man appeared on the cocoon ball. He looked like the Emperor Charles the Great.

But now he is no longer the emperor of the human race. He has become one of the most loyal believers of the Demon God and vowed to give everything to help the Demon God return to the world in his prime.

After recovering his body, Charles the Great leaned over and touched the black cocoon that had just given birth to him.

A terrifying suction force burst out from his palm, and in an instant it swallowed up the black cocoon and the tentacles supporting it.

After doing all this, Charles the Great turned his gaze towards the Holy Kingdom.

All the medium and large cities in the empire have been tampered with by him, and now they should have become sacrifices to the Lord Demon.

Arrangements have also been made for the Lawless Land, the Land of Wealth, and the Land of Travelers, so he now only has one option left to choose from, the only place that has been deeply involved by the followers of the Demon God, and it is also the last pure land of the human race, the Land of the Holy Church.

If we swallow up this last pure land and offer the entire human race to the Demon Lord, then I believe the Demon Lord will be able to return sooner.

The two cardinals from the Holy Kingdom who came to the banquet have been devoured by him, leaving only the Pope to support him. It is not difficult to break through there, not to mention that colleagues from other places will choose to rush in that direction after devouring everything around them.

Thinking of this, Charles the Great transformed into a dark and swift shadow, flying towards the Holy Kingdom.

§122 Lawless Land

This is the darkest corner of the human race. There are no laws or morals to constrain people here. Anyone can do whatever they want here as long as they have enough power to achieve it and can still survive after achieving it.

And this is the lawless land, a place forgotten by civilization.

Originally, the lawless land was where the empire exiled serious criminals. It was originally inhabited by some indigenous people who were unwilling to join the empire. The empire's purpose of exiling serious criminals here was also to kill people with a borrowed knife.

However, as time went on, and with the help of various unexpected events, this place gradually evolved into a mixed area of ​​forces, with serious criminals, indigenous people, fugitives from other countries, and prisoners gathering here.

Initially, the Empire considered sending troops to wipe out all forces here, but because this place is located between the Empire and the vampires, the Empire later simply used it as a buffer zone to guard against possible attacks from the vampires, thus tacitly approving the existence of this place.

Having a place like a non-recyclable trash can can also attract some troublesome guys and save them headaches. And judging from the personalities of the people who gather there, I'm afraid they will all die in infighting in no time and won't amount to anything.

Thus, the prototype of the lawless land was born.

The original lawless place is just as its name suggests, there are no rules at all, and it adheres to the jungle law of the survival of the fittest and strength above all else. Here, weakness is the original sin, and the weak should be bullied and oppressed. No one cares about the life or death of the weak.

But as time went on, the rapidly declining total population of the Lawless Land reminded the leaders of major forces of one thing - talent is the foundation of their enjoyment.

Without enough lower-class people, their respective powers would have no way to develop, and there would be no one for them to drive to satisfy their desires. If this continues, the Land of Lawlessness will probably disappear soon.

Therefore, during the secret talks among the top leaders of all parties, several rules emerged in this sinful land.

There are not many rules. After all, having no rules is the foundation of this place. Even if they are the leaders of the top forces here, they dare not violate this.

The first is that in the face of external enemies, internal fighting is prohibited, or at least they cannot be caught. After all, as the saying goes, it is not a crime if you are not caught.

Moreover, the scope of this external enemy is very broad. Only the strangulation of the entire lawless land will be considered as the time when they need to temporarily put aside past grievances and join forces to fight the enemy.

The second is to prohibit large-scale and indiscriminate slaughter, so as to avoid the situation where there is no one available.

However, personal grudges, revenge, robbery and murder are not included in this. This rule only applies to those who kill indiscriminately on a large scale.

After all, they know what kind of people live here. It would be a dream to expect them not to kill anyone. As long as they don't kill enough people to use their hands, they won't care about these trivial matters.

The implementation of these two rules did not encounter any resistance. Needless to say, the first rule was understood by these people that no eggs can remain intact when the nest is overturned. Although they were a group of desperate criminals, they had no problems with their brains. It could be said that many people here had smarter brains than ordinary people, otherwise they would not have come here, let alone survive here.

As for the second point, there were opponents who jumped out before, but then they disappeared the next day.

After all, as the saying goes, if you can't solve the problem, you can't solve the person who raised the problem.

It was only after these two rules were overturned that the Lawless Land entered a stage of development and expansion.

They take on a wide range of black industries, and using the fact that people here come from various countries and are familiar with the dark side, they establish connections with the forces hidden in the dark in various countries.

I will sell the stolen goods that you dare not sell, I will launder the money that you find difficult to launder, and I will forge the counterfeits that you dare not forge. In short, as long as the conditions are in place, there is nothing they dare not do.

Among them, the Country of Wealth is the country that has the deepest cooperation with them. The Country of Wealth can be said to have made an indelible contribution to the development of Lawless Land to its current level.

When the Lawless Land was developing rapidly, it naturally attracted the wrath of the empire. After all, no one would want to allow such a place to grow around them, and this was the only time when all forces in the Lawless Land joined forces to fight against foreign enemies.

But it was too late for the Empire to take action. By the time they noticed everything, the Lawless Land had already grown bigger and stronger, weaving a huge web of evil between the countries and occupying them.

Relying on the countless evidence in their hands as bargaining chips, letters such as "Sir, you don't want the affairs of your family XX to be exposed, right?" or "Miss, you don't want the affairs of your daughter XXX to be exposed, right?" were continuously sent to various major forces, forcing them to come out to mediate, otherwise the shameful things they had done would be exposed.

As a result, the forces that originally planned to watch the fire from the other side of the river could no longer sit still and jumped out to mediate. Even a large group of people within the empire jumped directly from the war faction to the conciliation faction.

In this way, under the coordination of various forces, the empire finally gave up the idea of ​​directly flattening the Lawless Land with a large army. Instead, it made three laws with it, prohibiting the Lawless Land from approaching the empire. Then it acknowledged the existence of the Lawless Land, and the fifth largest country or force of the human race was born.

This result can be said to be a compromise between the two sides after the major forces emerged victorious, and it is an acceptable result to both sides.

After all, no one wants all the secret affairs of their family to be exposed to the public at once, as the people below will definitely be furious.

And the overall strength of the lawless land is not too bad. If they really go crazy and break into small groups to sneak into the empire and kill people wantonly, it will be a big problem.

However, the Empire naturally had its own reasons for accepting this proposal. Due to its geographical location between the Empire and the Blood Clan, it was blocked by the Traveler's Country and the Warcraft Forest below, and a deadly place like the Azure Forest above. Therefore, after being banned from approaching the Empire, there were not many places left to use in the Lawless Land.

If the Lawless Land wants to continue expanding, it can only choose to develop westward. If the vampires take any action at that time, they can't be blamed.

After all, it's normal for support to arrive a little late.

However, it turned out that the leader of the forces in the Lawless Land was not stupid. After the Lawless Land expanded to the vicinity of the Fallen Plain, he completely stopped the expansion and left a buffer zone between the Lawless Land and the Fallen Plain just in case.

Even though the vampires did not take any action later, the Lawless Land never made any attempts to expand westward again.

There is only one way to establish power here - to snatch it from others!

Just like the name of this place, a lawless place.
