Chapter 93: You have lost your monster card
When Leon used his chains to get a proper landing on the ground, Celes had the dragon's support. Alexandra had become the dragon again and helped her descend to the forest. And when her vast body cast a thick and wide shadow over the forest, the vampiress used this as her chance to deal with their enemies.
She instantly cast her bats around, gaining much more vision around herself.
After locating her enemy, Celes quietly and quickly shrank the distance with a succubus. She moved as though she was in the shadow of a black asura, then mixing her two styles, Celes proceeded to deal with the first succubus. Her bats made the sounds, assailing their prey, then one of them hurtled against the voluptuous woman.
In response, the succubus formed an energy whip and lashed out at the bat, killing him with perfect precision.
But Celes didn't mind that, for she had already been close. She was close enough that bloody threads oozed from beneath her nails, turning sharper. She mimicked her master's style and sent these against the succubus' limbs and whip.
"Shit!" The succubus had been expecting the bat, for she knew that her enemies were a vampiress and a dragon. But the thin and unbelievably sturdy threads took her off guard.
Celes pinned the woman to the tree, then slammed her fist against her stomach. Then, as though that pretty face irked her, Celes elbowed the succubus' nose, only to finish her masterpiece with a knee attack.
Holding the bundle of the succubus' hair, Celes aimed to kill that woman so her master would be able to get more information from them. Well, she didn't doubt that these girls had attacked them solely because they rode a dragon, deeming them a threat.
And as unicorns and succubi were polar opposites, Celes didn't find their appearance here surprising. "Looking out for unicorn's blood to hide your loose pussies?"
The succubus didn't reply.
Feeling like she had lost control over her body and was utterly useless against the vampire of exceptional skills, the woman simply killed herself. "Fuck, never get fucked."
Her body turned into a black miasma that dissipated really fast.
The ground shook then.
"Master's stats look fine… And she's doing a good job, too." Celes hid her dissatisfaction after failing to kill the succubus by talking about her master and the dragon that didn't stay idle.
Alexandra cleft at succubus with her dragon's nails, trying to rip her apart. She slammed her dragon's claws onto the ground, scraping and scooping out the soil. She also wasn't holding back, parting her jaw to summon the peculiar roar. Of course, she strived to let out many of them, so these weren't as grand as what Leon had faced before.
She gathered a water ball before her jaw and then chucked at the enemies in sight.
In this way, Alexandra managed to get rid of one succubus.
But then, the three of them flanked the vampiress, leveraging their wings and environment. Their forms were different, too, for their left hands morphed into snakes, and their legs became similar to birds, with lethal talons extended for Celes' gorgeous face.
The vampiress couldn't perfectly block such an attack, suffering health point losses. With her beauty marred, for snakes bit on her arms, and talons went down her limbs and stomach, Celes still managed to keep her face safe — the element of her body that she was the proudest of.
With her experience and quick-witted senses that always shred off her laziness in battles, Celes counter-attacked by focusing on one succubus. Her bats blocked the girl's vision and disturbed her instincts with their voices, then the bloody threads caught the vampiress' prey, bringing her closer.
"Celes Diamante, right?"
"…"
"It took us some time to recognize you… Don't you want to… reunite with someone?"

Leon flapped his new wings, finding them easy to operate.
It was as though he always had them… But he naturally knew that his peak humanity body brought out the best pair for him, giving him sufficient knowledge and instinctive auto-pilot to fly like an experienced vampire. He followed his minimap, soon landing in an unexpected environment.
The trees were gone, and the ground had so many scars that it looked like a worm had eaten most of the soil. The dragon was replaced by the voluptuous woman in a shattered housewife gown. Far away from that lady, the vampiress and succubi stood abreast as though good buddies.
That surprised Leon the most.
"Master… As you know, I've sworn my allegiance to Her Highness. The vampires will always be my priority, so you can stop thinking about me… Humans and vampires will always be good mates, but we're incompatible with each other, for I'm one of the generals from Her Highness Pure Army. It's my duty to find others."
Leon stood with a contorted face, clenching his fists. On the other hand, Alexandra was confused and did not really know what she should do. In her current situation, she really wanted to fight Celes and forcefully take her away from the succubi, but the memories of her and her master enjoying each other flashed in her mind.
"I must take what I've given to you. It's time to break our contract." Celes closed up the distance with her master, then punched his stomach.
To Alexandra's shock, Leon's body bent like a bow, seemingly unable to take the vampiress' blow. He staggered behind, then the vampiress took a bite of his neck, devouring a significant piece of it. Leon's new wings disappeared, and he became paler than ever before, looking feeble.
[You have given the freedom to Celes Diamante.]
[All of your connection with her has been broken.]
[You have lost your epic grade monster card, Celes Diamante.]
That was when Alexandra's chains of conscience broke, and she flew madly at the vampiress! "You'll kill Master!"
But as Celes had new allies, the succubi barred the dragon's way, sneering.
Soon, Celes kicked her master far away into the forest, then turned around, joining the succubi's ranks.
"Your request to keep his life is so lovely, Celes Diamante."
"I think you must have fallen in love with him for real."
"Weren't you a high level before? You should have higher standards, too! And how did you so easily take away his vampire's class?"
The succubi grinned while Celes said nothing.
And so, the sudden attack turned into a series of unexpected events.
