Chapter 429 - Moonlight Elves History

-----

Lucia was a Moonlight Elf born from a pair of Assassins; her birth was planned. The clan serving the Vampires required another descendant, a fresh new assassin as the old assassins were losing their power as they grew older. Unlike other elves, Moonlight elves only lived up to 200 years of age and died out of old age, at the age of 140 they began to age and lose their former and youthful abilities, having children was crucial for them to be able to serve their clans and masters correctly.

The Vampire Clan was a clan with many clans below them, which served this superior race of blood-sucking demonic half-undead. They had various elves below their command, Blood Elves who were the closest to their power were a race of elves born from a Moonlight Elf woman who was given blood of a powerful vampire in the past. All her children were born as Blood Elves, and they became one of the closest races to the vampires, born as servants, assistants, knights, and more.

Meanwhile, the Moonlight Elves did not exclusively served the Vampires, but were widespread in many clans, the clans that were secured and bought by the Vampires were perhaps the galaxy's strongest though, the sharpest, most cold blooded and bloodthirsty of all Moonlight Elves. They held the strongest assassination techniques and were raised to be bloodthirsty assassins since they were babies. Harsh training, cold treatment, and they were taught to obey their masters no matter what, they were the perfect loyal assassins that would kill their own parents if they were asked to do so.

Lucia was born several years ago due to necessity of a new assassin to serve a new generation Vampire, Valen. The first thing she saw when she was born was the dark and cold house where her parents lived, and their expressionless, lightless eyes, as they glared into her soul, without any emotions, nor anything at all within them.

Her eyes looked at them with surprise, she was innocent, curious, touching their faces, and even smiling adorably… But her parents only saw her as a new unit to be trained and used to serve their masters.

She was taken care of for a year until she suddenly gained the ability to walk in two feet, and that's when the training began. She was quickly put into intensive training, immediately forced to swing a knife until she was exhausted and fell into the floor, she was forced to do physical training since she was a year and a half, sit ups, squads, pushups, all of them together every day until she fell exhausted into the floor, only to be healed with magic and forced to do it all over again.

Her parents did not shown any love to her, they were cold and ruthless, quick to correct any mistakes she committed with a strong slap in her face, leaving her crying. However, each time she cried she was slapped again, constantly until she fell unconscious, was healed, woken up again, and slapped again, like a dog that didn't understood until it was hit enough to grown fearful of her master, she quickly realized her parents never had any affection for her, she was a dog being trained, and like a dog, she trained and grew stronger to serve her master.

Eventually, Lucia grew expressionless, emotionless, and even rather sadistic deep down. Although her emotions actually never went anywhere, she bottled them up and they devolved into a sadistic personality that only enjoyed the thrill of killing and making and torturing others. At her adult years, she was presented to Valen as the young Vampire nodded, she was good enough, a bodyguard was all he required to continue his life. And for Valen, Lucia devoted her entire life.

However, she met allies, she disliked them at first, but their quirky personalities somehow got the better of her, and she grew slightly fond of them. Not to call them her friends… not to call them her comrades even, but they were good allies at the end of the day. She never changed being an assassin, nor anything of the sort, and she would probably continue being the assassin she is until she dies.

And now, she's being confronted by someone that should had died long ago, somehow survived, and came out more powerful than before. Her allies were gone, Brutus was dead and Silver and Ernesticia were working hard doing their own things.

She was alone… But she had always been alone anyways.

Her divine aura gathered around her body and exploded into a flash of purple light, reaching up to Gaia in front of her. Gaia's entire body moved incredibly fast, as spikes emerged from her body, chasing down at Lucia.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

Gaia's spikes clashed against Lucia's knives constantly, as Lucia used her nimble movements and her poison to slowly melt her foe's spikes while using her incredibly resilient knives to intercept her blows. Lucia continued fighting as Gaia's blows reached her soul and her body several times, piercing through her body and covering her in blood, she continued trying to evade and fight, until she suddenly managed to reach Edward in a flash of bright purple darkness!

CLAAAASH!

Her knives clashed against his barrier, as Edward's eyes opened wide open in surprise, looking back at Lucia with shock. She had managed to reach him! She pushed forward, as his barrier started to crack open, but Edward quickly unleashed several rays of spiritual energies against her as explosions continued to cover the entire area of the sky, Lucia evaded most of the blows but their shockwaves hurt her body and soul, but she gritted her teeth and continued fighting.

CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!

Lucia suddenly spun in the middle of the air, unleashing constant blows against Edward's barrier as he quickly targeted another beam against her.

BOOM!

However, Lucia received it straight ahead and ignored the pain she felt, pushing forward relentlessly. Gaia quickly acted, as her enormous hands caught Edward and protected him from Lucia!
