I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

As Istina finished her attack, a round of applause came from behind her, from Eve.

"Tina looked so handsome just now. I feel like this outfit suits Tina very well."

"Y-Yao, Master Brave? Why, why are you suddenly saying this?"

Hearing Eve's praise, Istina seemed a little flustered, and even forgot to take off her divine armor for a moment.

"Well, it just comes from my heart."

With a smile and a casual wave of her hand, Eve continued to look at Istina, who was wearing gorgeous divine clothing.

Just as she said, Istina at this moment could be said to be both heroic and gorgeous, and Eve was a little fascinated by her.

"My dear hero... this is embarrassing..."

As Eve watched, Istina's cheeks quickly turned red, and soon she hid her red face behind her hands.

Seeing this, Eve also laughed and said.

"Okay, then I won't read it. Let's finish the last part and go home. Tina will take care of my back from now on."

"Ok!"

As for the last part of the westernmost front located in the Shadow Demon Clan's defense area, the situation was no different from the previous one. It was also swept away by Eve with a single annihilation judgment. No enemies came to attack during the period. Eve and the others completed their work smoothly and returned to the Blood Clan Royal City.

At this point, the Far Western Front that lasted for a thousand years was completely declared a thing of the past.

§78 Omen

After Eve and the others completed their mission and returned to the Vampire Royal City, not long after, Elizabeth, Melxia, and Filial also rushed back with a lot of various things.

These are all well-preserved creations from the mythological era that the God of Creation found in the demiplane above the blue sky. The elves and the beastmen each received a portion, and the remaining props with defensive effects will be distributed to major cities on the continent.

These creations have different functions, but they all have quite powerful effects, which can be regarded as a small update to their equipment.

As for the situation on the side of the Goddess of Light, everything was going smoothly. Although Pope Elliot's originally lush gray hair had fallen out a lot, and it was vaguely showing a tendency to turn into a Mediterranean style, the Pope finally came up with some suitable excuses to cover up the population migration to the Holy City and the location of the former country of wealth that suddenly turned into a sea of ​​​​red. He even took the opportunity to intimidate the unstable faction that wanted to leave the protection of the light curtain.

However, the Pope's headaches have just begun. After all, the entire population is concentrated near one city. Even if the Holy Capital is the largest city in the territory of the church, it still far exceeds its carrying capacity.

Even if the magicians work overtime, they can only barely guarantee the housing problem. The food needed by so many people and the daily garbage generated are also a big problem.

Although the Goddess of Light might be able to solve this problem, Elliot would not ask that old man for help unless it was absolutely necessary, even if it meant losing all his hair.

This old man is really not to be trifled with.

Therefore, after all the obvious threats were resolved, the continent temporarily fell into a period of peace. It seemed as if the demons had completely disappeared, and there was no movement at all.

Only some subtle changes appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"Huh...it feels like I haven't seen the sun in ages."

In the World Tree King's Court, overlooking the forest below which looked a little wilted because it had not received sunlight for a long time, Eve whispered.

"Yes, it seems that not long after Eve destroyed the Far West, the sun never appeared again."

Looking up at the dark clouds covering the sky, Melcia replied.

Soon after Eve and Istina wiped out the Far West, this black cloud that could not be dispelled by ordinary means began to spread little by little, eventually covering the entire continent.

At first, people treated it as an ordinary rain cloud and did not pay much attention to it. But later, people found that the magic that could control the weather was completely ineffective against this black cloud, so they began to pay attention to it.

Even using offensive magic to directly bombard the clouds would not be able to effectively disperse these black clouds. Often, it would not take long for these black clouds to gather again and cover the originally blue sky.

After investigating the cause of this phenomenon, the Creator God pinned it on the Demon God, and determined that it was a strange phenomenon caused by the Demon God's impending resurrection.

I'm afraid that with the revival of the demon god, similar phenomena will increase.

Today, Eve and Melshia came to the elves to investigate a strange black rain that occurred in the Elf Forest.

The rain occurred not far from the World Tree Royal Court, so the two of them stopped by the World Tree Royal Court and met the Mother of Elves, Melceris and others first.

Eve and the others also learned the whole story of the black rain from Melchis.

The black rain occurred late last night. Due to the cover of darkness and the thick clouds in the sky that blocked the original moonlight, the Elf Forest was pitch black at night. And because the rain itself is black, the elves on duty did not discover the abnormality until dawn and reported it.

The location where the black rain occurred was neither near nor far from the World Tree Royal Court, and it was completely different from ordinary heavy rain. The black rain did not make any sound when it fell, which was why the elves who were on night watch failed to discover the abnormality in the first time.

At this moment, looking in that direction from the World Tree Royal Court, the forests that had been drenched by the black rain had turned pitch black, like charcoal after being burned by a fire, but to be honest, Eve would rather they were just burnt charcoal.

Because through the magic of farsightedness, Eve has discovered that some textures similar to the black mud of the abyss have appeared on those trees that have turned pitch black. Although it has not been confirmed by Ilvia, it is likely that they have been contaminated by the power of the devil.

Looking at the dark clouds above that covered the entire sky, Eve could only say that they were probably about to be in trouble, big, big trouble.

After a close inspection, the situation was exactly as Eve had imagined. This place was contaminated by the power of the demon god and was now in the initial state of abyssization. Then, Eve blasted it clean with a Black Hell Demon Cannon.

But after clearing this area, Eve's brows became even more furrowed.

As expected, the effect of this black rain is to pollute an area. Although it only rained for less than one night, the forest has already shown some characteristics of the abyss.

It looks like if it rains for a little longer, this place will probably turn into an abyss.

Thinking of this, Eve couldn't help but pinch her eyebrows in pain.

It is no wonder that the Demon God had previously sat idly by and watched the destruction of the Far West. Given the concealment of this black rain, all it needed to do was find a remote place and wait for it to rain for a while, and a brand new abyss would appear. It was both convenient and quick.

No matter how powerful they are, it is extremely difficult, almost impossible, for them to monitor the situation in every corner of the continent 24 hours a day.

After all, large-scale exploration is like radar. Unless it is locked on a specific area, there will be time intervals. The vastness of this world is outrageous, far exceeding Eve's previous life. Even if the Far West and the Kingdom of Wealth were directly bombed to the bottom of the sea, the overall land area was not reduced much. Naturally, the time required to complete a cycle of exploration is not much less.

As for sending out patrol teams to conduct large-scale inspections, the difficulty is also not small. If you want to monitor every corner of the continent, then there will definitely be a shortage of people responsible for protecting the city. That would be bad. After all, the ordinary people living in the city are the ones they need to protect.

Moreover, without the city's defense equipment and magical assistance, if the patrol team encounters an attack from the abyss waves or even a powerful abyss, they will have no chance of returning alive.

Let's wait until we get back and discuss with the Creator God and the others what to do.

Oh, what a headache!

Looking at the huge black hole in front of her, Eve sighed silently in her heart.

§79 The Pulse of Disaster

Some time has passed since the Elf Forest first discovered the black rain that could cause the abyss, and during this period, the black rain has appeared more and more frequently and lasted longer and longer.

By now, after a black rain ends, the land is often on the verge of becoming completely an abyss. Judging from this speed, the time when a new abyss appears after the end of a black rain is not far away.

Even though they all thought carefully about the solution to this problem, they still couldn't find a good way to deal with it.

In the end, the only option was for each major city to form a patrol team to conduct regular inspections in the areas that were shielded from the city and could provide support at any time. If any land showing signs of abyssification was found in this area, Eve and Istina would be notified to go and clean it up.

As for those places far away from the city and rarely visited by people, Eve and others can only patrol them once in a while.

In other aspects, Istina's power as the God of Destruction is steadily recovering and has reached its former heyday. However, since the world cannot accommodate her to exert her full strength, it is not clear who is stronger between her and Eve.

According to the God of Creation, if they really start a desperate battle with the Demon God, then they need to find a way to move the battlefield out of the world. Otherwise, regardless of victory or defeat, this world will probably suffer heavy damage, and this matter is what the God of Creation is thinking about.

Although the original plan of the Creator God was to repair the Wheel of Rotation in order to obtain support from the powerful people who had reincarnated in the past to replenish their combat power, judging from the current progress, the time for the repair to be completed is no longer enough to keep up with the resurrection of the Demon God.

So after noticing this, the God of Creation shifted his focus to how to allow Eve and the other to fight with their full strength.

Although directly pulling the battlefield outside the world is an option, it is an option that should not be adopted unless it is absolutely necessary.

After all, the random difference in the speed of time flow is no joke. If you are unlucky, by the time Eve and the others return victorious, the world inside may have changed drastically.

In that case, it would probably be a situation that could not be accepted by Eve and the others, as well as by the people who stayed in the world waiting for their return.

When the hero who saved the world returned victorious, he found that he had become a name in history books, and all the people he knew had passed away. This kind of thing might be a suitable tragic ending in a story, but it would be terrible if it happened in reality.

Fortunately, the Creator God already has some clues about this problem, but only God knows whether he can complete it before the Demon God is resurrected.

And in this atmosphere, a new crisis has quietly approached everyone...

—·—·—·—·—·—·—

The outskirts of the cat tribe's capital.

As a beast tribe under the protection of the vampires, the total population of the cat tribe is not too large, so the entire tribe has responded to Elizabeth's call, left their homes and moved to the tribal capital.

After the black clouds and black rain appeared one after another, several black rain incidents occurred near the cat tribe's capital. After they reported them, people were sent to resolve them.

However, the terrifying loud noise and the bottomless pit that followed left an extremely deep impression on these cat people.

So, the strongest people in this world all possess such terrifying power...

If someone has that intention, then saying they don't want to destroy the cat clan would be a piece of cake.

Fortunately, the other party is one of us.

As for the follow-up of the giant pit, a team of people was sent by the elves to deal with the aftermath. Thanks to the efforts of those elves, the surface of the giant pit has now been sealed again.

I heard from some senior officials that the bottom of this huge pit has not been completely filled up, but is going to be used for another purpose. I don’t know what it is.

But no matter what happened, it has nothing to do with this patrol team.

Right now, it is more important to patrol the perimeter of the city to see if there are any areas affected by the black rain.

They had carried out this kind of patrol mission several times and were quite familiar with it, but what they didn't know was that today's patrol was destined to be different.

"Nothing unusual here."

"I, I'm here too."

"everything is normal."

……

……

As all the team members finished inspecting the areas they were responsible for, the patrol team leader clapped his hands and said.

"Okay, everyone gather and get ready to go to the next place."

"Yes~"

As everyone gathered around him, the captain suddenly noticed that a team member not far away seemed a little absent-minded, and he called out in surprise.

"Xiao Fei, Xiao Fei? Xiao Fei!"

"Meow?! Here!"

Seeing that the team members did not respond for a long time, the captain's voice became louder and louder, until finally the trance-ridden team members regained consciousness.

"What's wrong? We're on a mission, be serious."

Seeing that the team members were startled by her voice because they were split up during the mission, the captain said with some displeasure.

"Um...Captain? Did you hear any strange noises? Over there."

Seeing the captain's unhappy expression, Xiao Fei's pair of furry cat ears on her head suddenly turned into a pair of airplane ears, but she still whispered the reason why she had just lost her mind, and pretended to point her hand in the direction away from the town.

“…strange noises?”

Hearing Xiaofei's words, the captain frowned slightly but did not directly refute her. After all, she knew that her team member had a hearing ability that was somewhat different from that of ordinary people. Maybe she really heard some sound that they did not notice.

"Well... let's report back to the city first."

In accordance with the rule of reporting any abnormalities, the patrol captain thought for a moment and then gave orders to his deputy, then looked at Xiaofei and continued to ask.

"What did the sound you heard sound like? How far away was it?"

"Hmm... It's weird. It's hard to describe. It feels a bit like gurgling, and there seems to be some water sounds mixed in."

With his eyes closed and his cat ears pointed in the direction of the sound, Phil listened carefully to the distant sound while answering the captain's questions.

"As for the distance... it seems to be getting closer, but the speed doesn't seem too fast."

“…Have you reported everything?”

After Phil finished his report, the captain asked his deputy.

"The report is ready."

"That's what the city says?"

Hearing the reply from the city, the deputy opened his eyes wide in surprise, but still answered the captain's question immediately.

“…They said everyone should return immediately and they would investigate further.”
