I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

But after all, if it's not for the test, there is no need to go to that extent.

Well, it’s decided.

While they were talking, several people had already packed up and left the tent.

When everyone left, Filier was still sitting there motionless. It seemed that it would take some time to wake up Ilvi.

However, the increasingly strong aura emanating from her body hinted that the time for the Holy Sword Ilvi to awaken was not far away.

Eve planned to take advantage of this time to check the situation of the defense line again. She had completely destroyed the abyss wave last night, and she didn't know if it would come back again.

Next, they will most likely go to the Holy Kingdom to look for the whereabouts of Lucia or the God of Creation. Before that, they have to arrange all kinds of things properly.

The funny thing of having your house robbed while you were looking for someone cannot happen to her again.

Soon, Eve and her group easily found Idina in the main tent.

Although the atmosphere among the soldiers around them on the way here indicated that the crisis facing the defense line had been resolved, it would be better to confirm with Idinas, the deputy commander.

"your Highness."

Seeing Eve coming, Idina quickly put down the work in her hands and bowed her head.

"What's the situation on the defense line? Are there any signs of the Abyssal Tide coming again?"

After slightly signaling to Idina that there was no need to be polite, Eve got straight to the point.

"The situation is very good. After Her Royal Highness the Princess conducted a cleanup last night, no signs of the Abyssal Tide were found within the defense line's surveillance range."

"That's good."

Eve nodded with satisfaction, and finally felt relieved.

What Idinas and Eve didn't know was that, let alone making a comeback, the demon's followers were now completely avoiding the Fallen Origin.

Among the hundreds of millions of abyssal armies transformed from most of the human race, as much as one-third were sent to attack the Origin of the Fallen.

But even such a terrifying number of abyss armies were almost completely destroyed in an instant, and even the abyss that should have been impossible to destroy was cleared out.

This kind of destruction is a complete severance, an erasure in the sense of existence. The abyss monsters that died under the attack of the mysterious light can no longer be resurrected through the abyss.

The sacrifices and gifts prepared by the demon's followers in collusion with the human high-level officials for the demon's revival were directly cut off, and a significant amount was cut off.

At least until they figure out what exactly happened at that time, the devil's believers will never touch this tough bone again.

The beastmen in the north are relying on the barrier to survive. The Holy Kingdom is already trapped in a jar. Isn't it easy to bully? Why do they think of attacking the blood clan's defense line?

As for the source of the mysterious attack, although Charles the Great, who is currently commanding the abyss waves in the human race, does not know the inside story, some well-informed high-level followers of the Demon God have guessed from the destruction of the abyss who might have been behind the attack. First, the first destruction of the abyss broke the myth that the abyss cannot be destroyed, and then the direct defeat of the Demon God's will in the World Tree Royal Court forced them to pay a heavy price to help the Demon God repair his will. It can be said that that existence has caused them a lot of losses.

But they naturally would not be kind enough to tell this kind of information to the newcomer, Charles the Great, who wanted to use the entire human race as a stepping stone to join them?

Haha, I can only say that he thinks too much.

It’s better to just act as a pawn and try your best to test the strength of that mysterious man.

If they collide head-on, I hope Charles can hold on a little longer and not be killed instantly in one encounter.

What Charles the Great didn't know was that the abyss wave transformed by the human race was actually slightly different from the original abyss wave, and was slightly weakened.

It's not a weakening of strength, but all the assimilated humans have had most of their origins extracted to repair the damaged core of the demon, so the upper limit of the number of resurrections of these abyss monsters is much less than that of normal abyss monsters.

To put it bluntly, not only the top followers of the Demon God, but even the Demon God himself used Charles the Great as a pawn to attract attention in order to buy time for his complete resurrection.

It's just a discarded pawn. As long as it can make enough noise to attract attention, who cares about the life or death of the discarded pawn?

Anyway, in the eyes of the devil, as long as he completely recovers to his peak state, then this world will be in his pocket, and no existence can reach his divine power.

And to achieve this goal, there is nothing that cannot be used as a consumable.

But Charles the Great, who had long been turned into a puppet under the erosion of his core, and was willing to give everything for him, naturally did not know this.

In his completely eroded consciousness, burning everything he has for the Demon God has become his only goal.

§5 Holy Sword Resurrection

After learning about the current situation from Idinas, Eve returned to the tent and sent a communication magic to her mother.

After a while, Elizabeth finally connected to the magic.

"It's Little Eve. How's it going? Is there any problem in the Fallen Plain?"

Although she tried to conceal it, Eve could still hear a hint of fatigue in Elizabeth's voice that was hard to conceal.

Apparently, after the abyss erupted suddenly near the major cities on the continent, the Far Western Front was not content to remain calm. Soon after, some incidents occurred, causing Elizabeth and the others to be completely distracted. This made the burden of rescuing those cities fall on Eve alone.

"Well, fortunately, we have fulfilled our mission. Although there was an abyssal wave attacking our defense line, we have already cleaned it up."

"That's it, that's good."

After hearing what Eve said, Elizabeth finally felt relieved.

If Eve hadn't appeared this time, the current situation would probably be much more critical.

Not only did more than ten major cities in the territories of various races fall, but hundreds of millions of abyss waves would surge into the territory of the blood clan from the direction of the Fallen Origin. Even if they suppressed the problems on the Far Western Front, the originally stable rear would fall into chaos.

By then, they would probably have to spend a lot of time dealing with the abyss waves surging within the country and would have no time to take care of anything else.

Fortunately, thanks to Eve's efforts, the situation in the rear was relatively stable except for the destruction of several cities, which gave them time to make arrangements to avoid similar situations.

After this incident, they will immediately gather the people to the original Abyss strongholds and a few large cities where strong people are stationed, so as to avoid repeating the same mistakes.

Although the quality of life may be slightly reduced due to the gathering of a large number of people, it is better than losing your life.

"And...um...Mother, I might have to go to the Holy Kingdom. Something happened there."

Eve then briefly talked about Lucia and Istina, and told Elizabeth her speculation that the God of Creation was likely in the Kingdom of the Holy Church.

"That's it..."

After hearing this bombardment of information, even Elizabeth couldn't help but be shocked.

Isitina actually the reincarnation of the former God of Destruction? And then she became his daughter's lover, and even his adopted daughter.

Could it be that the child that Little Eve picked up casually and brought to the inner castle several times was the reincarnation of the God of Creation?

Um... the amount of information is a bit overwhelming, and the generations are a bit confusing.

However, this did not affect her next answer.

"Little Eve, just go ahead and relax. There's no danger on the defense line for now, right?"

"Yeah, I'll be back soon."

After chatting for a few more words, Eve ended her communication with Elizabeth, and they had already returned to the tent.

Inside the tent, Fili's aura had already begun to overflow. If Eve hadn't set up several layers of barriers with Ilvia's power as the core for safety reasons, the unique aura of the holy sword would have spread to the entire defense line.

"Hmm...it should be about time. Ilvey will wake up any minute now, everyone should be ready."

After a brief moment of reflection, Eve found a place to sit down in the tent and began to wait, while Istina and the other girl sat beside her, one on her left and one on her right.

hum-

Soon, accompanied by a buzzing sound, Fili's aura increased several times again, and in a blink of an eye it had reached the same level as Elizabeth, no longer as weak as before.

Immediately afterwards, a thick and dazzling beam of light burst out from Fili'er's body, but it was not discovered by outsiders due to the cover of the barrier outside the tent.

And in that beam of light, a figure that looked like the grown-up Ilvia also quietly appeared. It was the Holy Sword Ilvia.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened.

hum-

As if receiving half of the response, Eve's holy sword elf Ilvia suddenly appeared in front of her, emitting a dazzling light.

The next moment, an inexplicable distortion appeared from the tent, directly sucking the unsuspecting Eve in. Ilvia also disappeared with her.

But the strange thing was that although Istina and Melshia were right next to Eve, the distortion only swept away Eve, and the other two were not affected at all.

"Lord Brave!"

"Eve!"

Seeing the figure around them suddenly disappear, the two of them screamed in surprise, but they could not find Eve no matter what.

What made Istina even more panicked was that even the faint bond between her and Eve was weakened to an almost unnoticeable level at this moment.

At this time, Feilier's awakening had also ended. Looking at the two anxious people in front of her, she suddenly showed a somewhat puzzled expression.

Later, after hearing about the incident from the two people, Feilier frowned and gave her own analysis.

"Could it be that Eve was teleported somewhere just now because of the connection between Ilvi and Ilvia? Ilvi, do you have any ideas?"

As she spoke, Filier looked at Ilvi, who was probably the culprit of the accident.

“…It feels like time is flowing, very ancient.”

After feeling the place where Eve disappeared earlier, Ilvi said softly.

"Then I hope the hero will be alright!"

Due to the weakening of the family connection, Istina was extremely worried at this time.

"will not."

Looking at the anxious Istina, Ilvi shook her head slightly and continued.

"She'll be back soon. We just need to wait here for a while. This time turbulence won't last long."

"That's good…"

After hearing Ilvi's promise, Istina finally felt relieved.

However, what Ilvi did not say was that this short period of time was only compared to the situation on their side. For Eve, if she did not do something particularly extraordinary that would cause her existence to be excluded from history, she might be able to stay in the past for a long time.

As for how extraordinary this extraordinary action is, to put it simply, it means that she has crossed the line, and even if she has not crossed the line, the simple use of force will cause the time she stays in the past to become short.

But no matter what the situation is, the time when Eve returns to the present will not change, which is what Ilvi said is very fast.

And in this fleeting historical bubble, Eve will witness the heroes' final journey.

This is a road of no return and a journey to death, but they have already made the choice.

§6 Dark Land

“…What is this place?”

Surrounded by darkness, Eve frowned unhappily as she looked at the endless darkness that even the vampires' night vision could not penetrate.

The incident just now happened too quickly. She didn't have time to react, or rather, she was dragged to this damn place before she could react.

And after arriving here, even her contracts with Ilvia and Arcana became somewhat unstable. At least she could not summon the two weapon spirits until they recovered.

The situation is similar with her magic power. Now all the magic power in her body has fallen into an inert state, and it takes a lot of effort to drive it up to achieve the effect of normal attack.

At first, Eve suspected that the cause of all this was the strange darkness surrounding her, but after a careful examination, she found that there was another reason.

It was as if her power and contract needed some time to adapt to the slightly changed environment around her.

"...The light source...is really useless."

She raised her hand and summoned a ball of light from her fingertips, but the ball of light, which should have been extremely bright, was now extremely dim and completely unable to dispel the darkness around her. Eve's visual range was still ridiculously small.

And from the darkness around her, Eve also vaguely smelled a familiar sense of disgust, which was the symbol of the power of the devil.

Tsk, can anyone come and explain to her what is going on?

I was waiting for Fili to wake Irvie up one second, but the next second I was swept into this hellish place. There was even a sense of demonic power around me.

Oh, forget it. There's no point in complaining here all the time. Let's just take it one step at a time. My current goal is to leave this strange darkness.

In this strange darkness, the visibility around is extremely touching. Even Eve, who has extremely strong night vision, can only see a short distance from her feet. It can be said that she has to take one step at a time in the literal sense.

Since she couldn't see what was happening in the distance, Eve just picked a random direction and started walking.

And because she couldn't see any reference points, Eve was a little worried that she would encounter a situation similar to "ghost wall" when she walked, that is, a person would inadvertently get stuck in a state of spinning in place due to the lack of reference points.
