I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

"...evil heretics."

Listening to Charles the Great's matter-of-fact tone, the taciturn Fili could only squeeze out this best comment she could think of.

After she finished speaking, she looked at the two people beside her and continued.

"Istina, and Melshia, please, let me handle this guy next."

"...Okay, but if Firiel is in danger, or if he tries to escape, we will intervene."

"Me too."

Feeling the firm will in Fili's voice, Istina hesitated for a moment before nodding and agreeing to her proposal.

"Thank you."

After nodding slightly to thank the two for their consideration, Filier took a fighting stance with the holy sword in hand, pointing directly at Charles the Great who was not far away.

As for Istina and Melxia, they retreated a little distance as promised, remaining in a state of alert, ready to attack at any time.

Looking at the three people's expressions, Charles the Great felt a little regretful. After all, the reason why he cooperated with the other party just now was that he wanted to avoid fighting as much as possible and delay the time so that more abyss troops could be evacuated.

However, he was somewhat relieved that for some reason the other party did not choose to rush forward in a rush, but instead engaged in a duel based on martial ethics. This way, he should be able to buy more time to get out.

After making up my mind, the next moment.

boom--

Without any warning, a dark beam of light suddenly burst out from in front of Charles the Great and bombarded towards the direction where Fili was.

However, facing his sudden sneak attack, Filier simply moved slightly to the side and dodged it, and returned a golden sword light with her backhand.

While Charles the Great was defending against the sword light, Firiel rushed forward and clashed with him with the holy sword in hand.

Due to the lack of weapons and the restraint of the Holy Sword on the power of the Demon, it didn't take long for Charles the Great to fall into a disadvantage.

After all, every time fists and swords clash, only one side is injured and few people can withstand it. What's more, due to the difference in combat experience between the two sides, Charles the Great's fists could hardly touch the corner of Fili's clothes, let alone block the holy sword that was swung one after another.

If it weren't for his excellent regenerative ability, which could have been effective even in the face of the weakening of the Holy Sword, Charles the Great would have been covered in wounds long ago.

If these were the only means Charles the Great had, then there wouldn't be much suspense in this battle.

§31 New and old grudges

Swish—she dodged a punch that was coming straight for her face by moving sideways, and with her backhand, Firiel sent the holy sword into Charles the Great's body and out.

However, Charles the Great seemed to feel no pain at all. Even after his abdomen was pierced, he still twisted his body and broke free.

However, in this confrontation, a large amount of holy sword power also invaded his body, greatly weakening his strength.

"Atone your sins with your life."

Kong waved the holy sword to shake off the black blood on it. Feilier looked at Charles the Great with a cut on his abdomen and said in a deep voice.

"..."

However, in the face of her words, Charles the Great, who was at an absolute disadvantage, did not react at all, as if he was completely unaware that he was about to die. Seeing this, Filier could not help but frown slightly, and her heart became extremely alert again.

Does this guy have any other tricks that she doesn't know about?

Fili, who had dealt with many beings eroded by the power of the devil, knew that these guys often had various special abilities, most of which were very troublesome.

So far, she has not found any trace of this ability in her fight with Charles the Great, so she still needs to be vigilant.

But this did not prevent her from making the final blow.

boom--

Accompanied by a short explosion, the next moment Firiel rushed in front of Charles the Great, slashing the holy sword in her hand diagonally, trying to cover as many parts of the opponent as possible with the power of the holy sword, so as to kill the opponent completely.

However, Fili's attack, which was sure to win, missed, or rather, she only cut off a thin layer of skin. The body inside escaped from her attack range by shedding this outer skin as if she was shedding its skin, and took advantage of the gap when she swung her sword to attack her.

"!"

Looking at the black beam of light right in front of her, Firiel, who had no time to dodge, had to make the only choice at the moment - twisting the holy sword in her hand, trying to use the sword's body to block this sudden attack.

Fortunately, Filier was not fighting alone.

whoosh-

Before the black beam of light hit Filier, an emerald green light arrow arrived in front of her and turned into a barrier, blocking the entire beam of light.

The one who took action was Melshia who was watching the battle from the side.

After seeing the sudden change in Charles the Great, she immediately shot out the arrow of light in her hand to protect Filial.

As for Charles the Great, he was standing not far from Fierer at this time, and there was no sign of injury on his body.

Not only did the penetrating wounds on his abdomen and the cuts all over his body disappear, but even the power of the holy sword, which had a clear restraint on the beings in the demon camp and was extremely difficult to eliminate, no trace of it remained on his body.

In the blink of an eye, Charles the Great's condition had returned to the state before the battle with Fili.

"Are you okay?"

Faced with this sudden change, Istina and Melxia realized that now was no longer the right time to abide by the previous agreement, so they came directly to Firiel's side and protected her behind them, as she had just experienced a battle and was exhausted.

"No problem, thank you."

After shaking her head slightly and saying thank you softly, Filier raised the holy sword in her hand again. Seeing this, Istina hurriedly said.

"The other party's situation is special. Let's fight together from now on."

“…Okay, I’ll leave it to you.”

After a moment's hesitation, Feilier realized that now was not the time to persist.

The opponent can avoid fatal attacks and reset his own status through that strange method similar to shedding skin. It is not advisable to show off your ability before you know whether the opponent's ability has a limit on the number of times it can be used.

Seeking help from others at the right time is also part of wisdom.

"Well, leave it to us. I just happen to have some old scores to settle with him."

With red electricity wrapped around her fingertips, Istina said with a smile.

"Old account?"

After hearing the implication in Istina's words, Filier asked curiously.

"Ah, I don't think I've told you this in detail."

After a pause, Istina answered Filier's question.

"The brave man was sent to die because of his commission, or rather, his order."

Originally, Istina just thought that the emperor of the empire was the driving force behind Eve being sent to the vampire clan to die, and the culprit was the family. But after meeting Eve again and knowing that there was a deep and dirty relationship between the emperor of the empire and the devil's believers, she realized that it was actually a premeditated conspiracy.

The other party's original intention was to kill someone with a borrowed knife, and use the hand of the Blood Queen to eliminate the existence of the Holy Sword Contractor without bloodshed.

After all, as the contractor of the Holy Sword, Eve has a special identity and is always under the attention of many people. It is difficult to create a reasonable accident to kill her, and it is even more difficult to send a figure like the Imperial General to carry out an attack. Once an accident happens and Eve escapes unexpectedly, it will be a big problem.

In addition, although the hero's own strength has not fully grown, it is enough to deal with possible threats within the human race, so the only option is those dangers outside the human race. Among them, going to fight the Demon King, or the Queen of the Blood Clan is undoubtedly the most suitable option.

Firstly, the Queen of the Blood Clan is powerful enough. She has been in charge of the Blood Clan for hundreds of years and is famous throughout the continent. She has suppressed the empire so much that it dares not make any rash moves. She has also ruthlessly killed generations of brave men, so there is no need to worry about the possibility of failure.

Secondly, this is driven by public opinion and the direction of history, and it is what heroes of all generations would do. It is extremely reasonable to send heroes out for this reason, and no one has any reason to stop it.

In order to ensure Eve's death, the complete devil believers even planted a mole in the team, who gave Eve a fatal blow at the critical moment.

What was beyond their expectation was that the backstabbing they had caused actually made Elizabeth interested in Eve. On a whim, she even tried the First Embrace, and unexpectedly allowed Eve to successfully inherit the bloodline of the royal vampire family. By accident, Elizabeth saved Eve.

This huge miscalculation directly shattered the devil's believers' wishful thinking and created a huge gap in their intelligence.

After all, although there were some people within the blood clan who colluded with the devil believers at that time, they were definitely better than the human race who were no different from a sieve. Therefore, it was difficult for the devil believers to obtain too much detailed information.

As for the present, one of the families that was the direct driving force behind Eve being sent to die has been killed, and the other one left is Charles the Great in front of us.

Therefore, the time has come to take revenge and complain.

§32 Millions of Lives

Boom——

Accompanied by a low thunder, this time it was the red thunder at Istina's fingertips that kicked off the battle.

Red lightning that wiped out everything erupted from in front of her, weaving into a huge lightning net that enveloped Charles the Great.

In the face of her attack, although Charles the Great also erupted with terrifying demonic power, he was unable to stop the advance of the lightning net at all. It was no exaggeration to say that it collapsed at the first touch. Even in the previous battle with the Holy Sword, he was not at such a disadvantage.

However, this result is not too surprising, because in a sense, the power from the God of Destruction Istina can even restrain the power of the demon better than the power of the holy sword.

After all, the power of the Holy Sword only comes from a part of the authority of the God of Creation. In terms of offensiveness, it is naturally inferior to the authority held by the God of Destruction. What's more, the authority of the God of Destruction in Istina's hands is not just a broken part like the Holy Sword, but a complete authority without any defects.

If the God of Destruction Istina had not been reincarnated when the demon invaded, the situation of the war might have been very different.

However, Charles the Great naturally would not know the above information. In his view, he had finally mastered his magical powers, but when he went out to find a few people to bully him, he found that every passerby on the road could slap him in the face. I am afraid only he himself knows how depressed he was.

Faced with the terrifying red lightning net that was covering him, Charles the Great found himself completely unable to resist after some attempts. He had no choice but to use the same method of shedding skin again, transforming into a black shadow and escaping from the gap in the lightning net, leaving the coverage of the lightning net.

However, this time the molting was not as smooth as before. As soon as the molting was completed, the sword energy from the holy sword and the arrow of light shot by Melxia immediately came to the door, and a terrifying explosion broke out in the air again.

When the explosion dissipated, what appeared in the smoke was the intact figure of Charles the Great. Needless to say, he had obviously used that molting ability to avoid damage again.

"You look surprised?"

Looking at the three people not far away with slightly frowned brows and the temporarily paused attack, Charles the Great asked after moving his wrist.

"..."

The response he received was naturally silence.

"Just keep attacking. No matter what the principle is, this ability must have a limit. As long as we continue to attack, we will definitely push it beyond this limit."

After a moment's thought, Fili, who had the most experience with the Demon God camp among the three present, whispered to the two people beside her.

"Ah."

Hearing this, the two nodded, and condensed a new attack in their hands, ready to release it, but before they could move, they heard the wild laughter of Charles the Great.

“Hahahaha—pushing me to my limit? Hahahaha—”

As if he had heard some funny joke, Charles the Great laughed wildly, causing the three of them to look at each other, and they all saw deep confusion in each other's eyes.

"what's so funny?"

Finally, it was Fili's voice that interrupted his laughter.

"what's so funny?"

After repeating Firiel's question, Charles the Great had a strange expression on his face and kindly solved her doubts.

"The 17,589,673 residents of the Imperial Capital are all my backup lives. You don't think you can completely consume me, do you?"

"!"

Although they learned the truth about the other party's ability to shed skin, this cruel fact was hard for the three of them to accept. The largest city of the human race, the imperial capital where the population gathered, all the people there became nourishment for the ambition of the emperor of the empire.

After a long time, Fili'er's voice, which seemed to come from the underworld and even made people feel cold all over, echoed on the battlefield.

"In the name of Ilvi's contractor, I must kill you today!"

"Haha—if you can do that."

However, in the face of her angry words, Charles the Great still laughed nonchalantly.

After all, those tens of millions of backup lives are his trump card. Even if it means he has to exhaust Charles the Great, he feels that he can exhaust the three people in front of him.

Although this was actually an illusion caused by his lack of understanding of top combat power.

After all, having an imperial general under your command is different from having the strength of an imperial general yourself.

Perhaps these tens of millions of lives would require some effort from Istina and the others, but it was definitely not a dead end that was completely insurmountable.

Not to mention the long-term consequences, if Istina asks Eve for help, Eve can solve this problem.

However, this is her battle of revenge after all, and also Firiel's battle, so Istina does not plan to ask Eve for help for the time being, even if that can solve the current problem more quickly.

And more importantly, she can't always rely on the hero for everything.
