Grrraaaaaaaaa!

Appraise them!

Lv. 72

Lv. 54

Lv. 89

Buffs!

[Various Spell Buffs] inflicted on [Young Sunfang Dragon, Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor]

Fuck them up, Original Mind! my parallel minds encouraged me, also feeling the rage boiling up inside me. Vampires were like elves, right? Well, right about now, they were no better than the grimgarians I killed!

Stand down, mage, or this wiUFF! Before Mr. Lv. 72 vampire could speak, I [Gale Step]ped in front of him and grabbed him by his hideous bat monsters face, and slammed it right into the ground.

Jeez, so weak! I cringed. I didnt even have to use any solar power even if vampires were weak to sunlight or not!

Dont kill them, my lady! Tasianna shouted, making me annoyed I had to actually hold back against these filth.

Y-you?! Seeing their companion bashed into the ground, the two vampires froze in place, looking at me as if I had done something impossible. However, this shock immediately turned into rage as both growled at me. Shraaaaa! Predator! Hunter! We were tricked, friend, we need toOok?

Not a fan of fighting people this weak, but youre nothing but brigands, right? Might as well do some ex-paladin work on some Predators. Yorshka too [Gale Step]ped into the front, slashing off the legs of the weakest vampire, causing the surprised elf to fall onto the ground like a sack of potatoes.

Vampires were technically still elves, dark elves to be specific, but unlike the ones Ive met up until now, these filth were nothing to me. I didnt care if you were human, beastman, or grimgarian. You try to pull this bandit crap on me, you deserve a beating. These vampires really got lucky. My moral compassTasiannawas telling me to not kill.

Guawaararararak!

However, that didnt mean I couldnt cripple some of them. I had [Miraculous Grace], after all. The vampire I was holding down could scream and struggle as much as he wanted, but I might return the right arm and wing I cut off later on. Might.

You two! The last vampire, the strongest, took a step back. We didnt know if he wanted to flee, but I wasnt the only one who was furious with what they did.

Cometh Wind! Renee called the wind with her flamberge, pulling the vampire closer only for Tasianna to buffet the vampire with ice blades.

Not surprisingly, the level 89 vampire managed to deftly avoid everything, only taking glancing hits. This, however, seemed to only make the vampire smirk.

Knock him out before he can use blood magic! Yorshka commanded after she kicked the two vampires we already took out in their heads, sending them to sleep.

Just as Yorshka said, the blood flowing from the monster bats tiny wounds grew as blood started to pour out of them like a faucet. He even managed to gather enough for a whole ball, before it formed itself into a blood sword. The vampire took aim and then

Draconic Aura!

I stomped the ground, exuding my [Draconic Aura] to create a pressure around me similar to a Territory. The vampire jerked back, snapping his head to me, allowing just enough seconds to pass for Tasianna to [Humanize] for her wings to blow frost powder at him.

The [Fae Frost] immediately took effect as they froze the blood sword solid, before closing up the wounds on the vampires body to seal off his ability to get blood from his body. Seeing this, his eyes immediately darted over to the pool of blood from his comrades, but it was a bit too late for that.

White Flames!

What?! The vampire tried to dodge, but, sadly for him, Yorshka and Renee knew how my [White Flames] worked. They grabbed him, holding him tightly as the flames engulfed them all. Whaaaaaarrrrr!

[Dread Burn] inflicted on bloodsucker.

***

Thank you very much. Thank you so very much! After we had dealt with those Twilight morons, I healed up the two civilians they had been preying on. The woman was still wobbly on her feet, having lost a lot of blood, so the man did most of the thanking. Thank the Goddess for sending you to our land! For everything! Thank the Goddess. Thank Yeostar for making you a blessed, my lady! ThankUrgh!

Thats enough gratitude, good sir. Renee grabbed his arm, supporting him as he was about to fall. I had only healed him up with my white flames, since he hadnt lost that much blood for [Miraculous Grace], but he still probably had anemia.

Magic was nice and all, but sometimes healing was best done naturally, especially if it wasnt a life threatening wound or a loss of a limb. [Miraculous Grace] could solve most physical injuries, but using it too often would lose the importance of the spell. Anything non-severe could be handled, and should be, handled by my white flames and my sacred spells.

After Renee handed the two yeomen over to the knights for help, we then turned over to the vampires. They had transformed back into their elven forms and had their hands sealed by those mana suppression shackles. They couldnt use their mana while they had those cuffs on.

Eoriant Fairnite Mana Suppression Shackles: Shackles made with the metals eoriant and fairnite, both possessing mana absorption attributes. Mana is absorbed by the shackles whenever a high concentration is being formed, and then diffused into the air

Speaking of shackles, I had also heard that the prison inside the castle was destroyed after the siege. Quite a few criminals and brigands had escaped or died during the fight, the former of which included that stupid poison brother I fought in the tournament. He also stole away his twin catalysts in the process, so that bastard was now roaming the world again. Really should have cut off his legs.

But, well, what was one more problem on top of all of Elyondas other issues, right? It was already pretty bad, but I guess none of us thought that vampires would start attacking us. Sure, their castle was floating above the clouds right now, but I had thought they were here to help us.

Ha! The vampires glared at me with intense disgust, almost to the point they were showing off a sense of superiority. As if it was incredulous that they got themselves in this situation. I hope you are ready to face Goddess Death, you simpletons! Our lord will dine on your life fluids and your minced flesAgrak!

Dont try to use your mana. Yorshka kicked the level 89 vamp in the face, knocking him over. The shackles detect when you use it. If youre thinking of trying to overload the thing, then think again. Do you think we would stand by and do nothing while you try? For an elf, you are pretty dumb.

Elf?! Blasphemous lizard! You dare call us such a degrading thing?! The one Yorshka cut the legs off cried out, insulted by such a factual statement. We are no elves! We are superior to those tree huggers! We are vampires! Children of the Night Mother! Scions of the Blood Queen! Descendants of a God!

The one I had attacked felt no fear at all, either. He, too, found it fitting to spit venomous words at us despite the fact he was at our mercy. And you have taken a step too far, serf! We would have only taken some of your blood. It should have been an honor! We deigned your filthy red suitable for our palettes, but you dared ambush us? Blindside us? What honor do you have, knight? Our blood knights will make short work of you!

Ambush? Was this man seriously that delusional? If you asked me, the one who ambushed us were these three idiots, but they called us the dishonorable ones? What did this guy smoke to put himself on a pedestal this lofty? His superiority complex oozed out so much, it felt nauseating to be near him.

Tasianna, psh. I lowered my voice as those vampires continued their tantrum. Arrogant? Is this what you meant when you said they thought of themselves as the finest beings and that their castle was the seat of the elite?

Tasianna nodded. There are three factions inside the castle. The Predatorssuch as these threewho seek to only feast on the most prestigious playthings. Gourmets, you could say. Then you have the Skyborne, those who believe the vampires should remain in the sky and not mingle with us dirt people. Please be careful, they are known to adore the flesh of any flying monsters. Lastly, we have the Royal faction, those closest to the current overlord of Purchigchia and their elders, who wish to keep their culture close to the elves.

Soooo. I turned to the vampires, causing them to instantly flinch at my glare. Will we get in trouble for hurting them?

No, Tasianna answered resolutely.

Ha! Whad nonsensess are youd speaking, eld? Our loAhahk! the strongest vampire tried to speak back, but Yorshka kicked him in the face again. He fell on his back again, clutching his bleeding nose once again and his already broken jaw. Damnb you! Damnb you!

He already had enough trouble speaking from the first kick. How many teeth had he lost already after getting kicked twice by a person over level 130? Yorshka had informed me vampires could regrow limbs and missing organs if they could drink blood, but with [Dread Burn] on him, healing was practically impossible. Well, too bad, immortal guy, you met the wrong person to piss off.

Yes, we will not get into any trouble, Yorshka reiterated what Tasianna said so the vampires could understand. Do you really think your friends would care about you after the three of you snuck out of the castle and tried to steal a drink from the people living here? Excluding possibly angering your princess, you attacked two of her former guests, as well as somebody she wants to meet.

Yorshka pointed at Tasianna and herself, before ending at me. Third Imperial Princess of Kargryx, Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor. Get it now?

Ueiik! All three vampires shuddered when they heard my title.

Theyre nothing like Elrick.

Elrick was one of the knights assigned to the students, who left us after we learned of his vampire heritage. He had been hiding as a knight of Aurena, acting like a human for his faith. I had thought we would meet here again, but Yorshka learned he went back to his family in the Empire. Apparently, acting like a human wasnt a one-time thing, as vampires would hide amongst the population.

Regardless if I had met him here or not, that wasnt the point. What I was now worried about were the boys stuck in the castle. I pulled out the bookmark Uzerra gave me. We couldnt delay my meeting with the vampire ruler any longer. We had better send them off.

Uzerras Bookmark: A bookmark enchanted by the archerudite of Aleistunum. Used as a bookmark to read.

Owner: [High Elf, Uzerra Leister Dawncall]

Enchantment: [Bookmark Caller]

Bookmark Caller: Calls upon the owner of the enchanted item by pouring mana into it

Simple, huh?

I did as instructed and poured my mana into the object, causing the simple beige bookmark to shine blue before it dimmed. I looked up in the sky, where Uzerras island was, and noticed something flying towards us. Squinting my eyes, I saw the pajama-wearing elf in a bed! The bed was flying over to us!

O-ok, this guy likes to sleep! I exclaimed before the bed suddenly stopped over us. It then slowly descended to the ground, gently placing itself there, softly enough to not wake its master.

With Yorshka guarding the vampires, the rest of us looked at the snoring mage, noticing how he seemingly fell asleep while reading a book. His glasses had fallen off his face, nearly off his bed, while his blanket and hugging pillow were spread all across his mattress in an disorderly fashion. I didnt think the archerudite would be such a messy sleeper.

Uhm, sir? I waved the bookmark over his face, only to find out that a barrier was protecting him. Banging on it like glass, I decided it would be a bit too rude to break it in an attempt to wake him.

I guess it was too late. You dont think he has been sleeping all this time? He hadnt exactly shown himself since he met you, Hestia, Renee commented, bringing up a good point. The man had been quite sleepy when we met.

How do we wake him? I asked, and Tasianna took a step forward.

Hestia-san!

Hey, youre finally here!

But before I could look through the place, my attention was drawn to the two men sitting at a red couch in the middle of the room. Both were waving at me, but both looked far different from the boys I had traveled with, only recognizing them through their voices.

I was sure the first was Kyouya and the second Tatsuya, but what I saw was one person in thick, shadowy armor, looking like black lightning was surging from its gaps, and the other was a young wolfkin man jittering around while continuously sipping on some dark green tea. A tea I quickly recognized from the aroma was like coffeeit was fulinoe tea.

Ahah, I look different right? The armored man spoke, sounding like Kyouya but with an echo. Long story, so it would be better

Yo, Hestia-san! Good to see you again! Wrooooh! The wolfkin, thought, howled like a wolf before taking another sip of his tea. I was doubly sure it was Tatsuya since his face and voice matched, but he seemed so much more elevated. Youre never going guess what happened! I learned a unique skill today! Ahaha! I finally got a unique skill! My own! Not something those demonkins gave me!

Yup, Tatsuya, alright. So, then I Looked over to the third person I found with [Detection Sensor]. Who is that?

A woman with scarlet hair and eyes and skin so grey, she looked like a ghost. Despite her ill-looking face, her wide smile and firm eyes betrayed her general appearance, looking as if she had all the energy of the world. Her clothes, just like every vampire in this place, were impeccable, designed to compliment her appearance, turning her from just mesmerizing into elven art.

She really does look like her.

Please, my guests, have a seat. I have prepared snacks for all of you. No blood or anything which would spoil our gossip, of course. Great-great-great grandmother would lecture me to death before my soul reaches great-great-great-great aunt after my eternal slumber.

So that was why. She really is a descendant of the Vampire Goddess.

Apologies for my manners. My name is Vadisma, the current blood princess of the Floating Kingdom of Vivachel, Purchigchia.

A note from AbyssRaven

Man, I resonate with Uzerra. I, too, want a floating bed which will deliver me from one spot to the next. Can we please get a flying bed already? That should be the future, not flying cars!

Bio: Hey there, AbyssRaven here. I'm just an avid Light Novel and Fantasy story reader who randomly thought of a story and began writing about it.

I eventually found out that I've been spending a bit too much time with building, planning, and researching for the story, that I've decided to just share it with others.

Writing is mostly a hobby for me, but I would still love any kind of criticism to improve on it.

I'm also german, so please excuse anything that sounds a bit weird...I wouldn't mind you pointing it out though.
