Chapter 524

Chapter 524: Scarlett Sisters.

Scarlett Clan.

Before the invasion of Clan Snow and Fulger began.

A woman with long red hair wearing a dark purple dress with an opening in the legs that highlighted the black stockings that covered her legs was sitting in her office taking care of some documents until she stopped what she was doing and turned in a particular direction.

Specifically, her territory.

"Heh~, they really dared to invade this place," Siena muttered in an amused tone, but if anyone saw her now, it would be clear she wasn't the least bit happy.

Even though she had already been warned by her mother that this could happen and had made preparations for it, she still couldn't help but be surprised.

A Maid entered the office and announced, "Lady Siena, they are here."

"Yes, I know, Luna."

"Who are the invaders?"

"61st Key of Solomon, King Zagan and his legion of Demons," Luna reported.

"What should we do?" She continued.

"Just follow the plan, one of the 72 Pillar Demons or not, no one attacks Clan Scarlett and come out alive to tell the tale—."

At that moment, a portal appeared in the office, and Ruby, Edward, Leona, Pepper, Lacus, and Liena came out of it.

"Ara… Sisters, why are you here? And why did you bring these… Guests."

"Is that even a question?" Ruby raised an eyebrow and then replied:

"I came to defend my home and brought some friends," Ruby spoke in a simple tone and looked at the portal:

"Thank you, Natalia."

A woman's hand came out of the portal and gave a thumbs-up.

Moments later, the portal disappeared.

"Ugh, they stink," Leona complained as she sniffed the air, and she could smell the stench of those Demons from miles away.

"It's been a while since I've been back home." Pepper commented casually as she looked around, feeling a little weird and nostalgic.

Lacus disappeared into mist and moments later reappeared.

"Apparently, all the houses have been evacuated."

"Are they in the bunker?"

Siena just nodded; she would never ignore her mother's instinct of intuition. If she said it would happen, the likelihood of it occurring is infinitely close to 100%.

Therefore she made preparations.

Currently, Clan Scarlett was utterly deserted.

"Oya, you did a good job, Sis," Ruby commented proudly.

"Humpf, while you guys were hanging around, I had to take care of this place myself with Luna." Her face turned slightly red as she complained, "At least these Vampires are easier to convince because of my mother's prestige."

All it took was Scathach's name and saying that the woman thought an attack was coming, that all the residents packed their things and took refuge in a bunker beneath Scathach's Castle.

Pepper and Lacus just smiled when they saw their older sister's act. Ruby scratched her cheek, a little embarrassed, and replied:

"... I'm sorry, Okay? The Human world needs attention, and I'm the only one available for that."

"...." Siena just looked at Ruby with disinterested eyes.

"Forget it; I've always done this; I'm used to it."

Suddenly explosion noises and roars of Demons were heard.

BOOOOOOOOM!

ROOOOOOARRR!

And that caught everyone's attention.

"Demons, huh... I haven't fought a Demon in a while." Liena commented as she grabbed a large rifle from her back and walked towards the hallways.

"I will go ahead."

"..." Siena just looked at the Human with amused eyes. She didn't know whether to feel hostility or indifference.

She tried not to express any emotion because they were people her sister had brought.

Especially for those two Werewolves present.

She could clearly smell that hateful man [Victor] all over Leona's body.

"They're destroying the territory; aren't you worried?" Pepper asked.

"Nah, buildings can be rebuilt again, and most of the important stuff has been collected thanks to this," Siena said as she lifted a Spacial Bag up.

"I must say that despite being expensive, it is quite useful," Siena commented.

"Fufufu, thank Victor for that. If it weren't for him, who knows how long Alexios would take to come up with this."

Siena rolled her eyes.

"Don't act like this is Victor's job; it's not all about him."

"Heh~, is that right? Then tell me, sis. How long would it have taken those old men to think outside the box?"

"..." Siena was silent. She knew that Nightingale's society developed slowly because they had long life expectancies.

"Because of that, I say they should watch anime; you can get many good ideas from Humans." Ruby rolled her eyes.

"…This is something I can agree with you on." Leona flashed a small smile.

"Promoting Anime Culture to old Vampires?" Edward thought aloud and imagined a young-looking Vampire, who was actually over 1500 years old, watching Anime and wearing Cosplay.

"... That's an image I don't want to think about."

"Oya, why?"

"An old Vampire... And Anime just doesn't mix."

"Well, I disagree with you; I bet some old Vampires would like that."

BOOOOOOOOOOOM!

"Sorry to interrupt, but aren't we in the middle of an invasion?"

"Huh? What are you talking about, sis? This is not an invasion."

"Eh?" Siena looked at Ruby.

"They just came here to generously surrender their lives to us." Ruby's smile slowly grew.

She turned around and started walking, completely ignoring everyone's faces.

...

A few minutes later, Ruby was standing on top of her mother's castle in full body armor. Unlike Sasha's armor, which served as a way to store energy, Ruby's armor had a single purpose.

Ease her Ice Transition.

Ruby, as the daughter of Scathach, had both her mother's power of Ice and her father's power of Water, and thanks to this combination, she could turn her hand into pure Ice, and with minute control of the Water, she could get out of that state.

This was a delicate process, and with the slightest slip of attention, she would suffer an injury that wouldn't do her much harm because of the Vampires' regeneration, but it would hurt... a lot.

The armor helped facilitate this process.

As someone who trained with Ruby for an entire year, Victor knew all her weaknesses and strengths. The armor helped to eliminate those weaknesses and add upon her defenses.

"...I want one too." Pepper commented with desire in her eyes as she looked at her sister.

"..." Siena and Lacus couldn't help but agree with this. Even though they were in armor, their armor was too simple compared to Ruby's.

A set of full body armor of a black color, with dark brown and dark red accents. On the right shoulder was a kind of light red cape that stood out. The cape was made of a tough animal hide.

What was the purpose of the cape on the right shoulder? It was to serve as a shield. By freezing the mantle with the power of Ice, it could create a protective shield even faster than regular Ice Creation.

In a hand-to-hand battle, Victor knew that seconds decided everything, and because of that, he asked the blacksmith for ways to help his wife.

Held in her right hand was a Spear with Runes carved all over the shaft, a gift from her mother, Scathach.

Ruby glanced lightly at Spear.

And remember what her mother said.

...

This happened when Scathach was in the Human World after the 'domination' events between Scathach and Victor.

"Ruby... This is a gift for you."

"..." Ruby looked at the Spear in her mother's hand with curious eyes.

"You've planned a lot of things for the future, things that are dangerous, and I won't always be able to be by your side, so you must be strong."

"This is my old Spear, given to me by my mother when I became an adult and perfected by me when I became a Runemaster."

"The Spear of a young warrior… Dream." She spoke in a nostalgic tone, as if she was reminiscing something from the past.

"The weapon that supported my dream for years and contains all my future dreams."

"The dream of a little girl who wanted to become the strongest... Now, she's yours."

...

Ruby squeezed Spear tightly, and her eyes glowed blood red. Soon the Runes began to react to Ruby's intent and began to glow blood red.

Ruby put on her helmet, which had the same color and detailing as her armor, and looked at the Demon Duke, who was just hovering in the air as he commanded the troops.

"Their purpose is obvious; they are buying time." Ruby started talking. Initially, she didn't understand the Demon Duke's attitude of just standing around and ordering his Demons to wreak havoc.

'The City is empty; shouldn't he feel more arrogant and attack? Or at least do something else?'

'Why doesn't he do anything?'

The answer to that was obvious, he was already fulfilling his role.

"We will not kill the Demon Duke."

"..."

"We will capture, torture him, and learn information from the other side."

"Luckily, we are experts at capturing people." Lacus flashed a small predatory smile.

"Indeed." Ruby laughed lightly.

"Lacus, if you don't mind?"

"Leave it to me." Lacus' eyes began to glow, and soon she transformed into mist and flew toward the heavens.

"...." Edward, Leona, Liena, Luna, and the Demon Duke looked up at that 'mist' rising to the heavens.

Stopping in the clouds, Lacus hovered in midair, and a voice sounded with her body in the form of Mist, whose only thing to see was two red glows.

"Let's set the mood a little." Then, using the power of her bloodline, a type of dark gray smoke with shades of black came out of her body and spread throughout the territory.

FUSHHHHHHHHH.

Deep darkness fell over Clan Scarlett's territory, the only visible light being the beings' eyes and the City lights.

"Pepper."

"I'm on it."

Pepper, who already had her hand raised towards the Clouds, frowned, and a few seconds later, her face softened, and she spoke.

"Done."

Lacus fell from the skies beside Pepper, and her form was still Mist.

"What are these sisters doing?" Liena's question was answered when she felt a drop of water fall on her cheek.

She lightly touched her cheek and asked:

"You're kidding, right?" She looked shocked as the entire territory began to be covered in rain.

Edward and Leona frowned.

"I'm getting a bad feeling about this," Edward commented.

"Let's back off for now."

"Agreed." Leona, still in her base form, just kicked a Demon in the face, and that Demon flew towards several houses, and soon the two siblings disappeared.

"Siena."

"Yes, yes. Sigh, you are abusing your older sister." She sighed helplessly with a wry smile, but then that smile faded from her face, and she became serious.

Pointing the palm upwards, a beam of clear blue light flew toward the heavens.

And when that beam of light touched the clouds.

Everyone's eyes widened as everything was frozen; the sky was frozen!

"...Well, they are the daughters of The Strongest Female Vampire for a reason," Zagan commented in an amused tone; it wasn't every day you saw the sky literally freeze.

"It's your turn Ruby," Lacus commented.

"Mm." Ruby's eyes lit up as chilling air began to emanate from her left fist, and soon her entire left hand was frozen, but unlike usual, only her armor was icy; her hand was still flesh.

'I should thank my Darling later~.'

Assuming a punching stance, she punched the 'air'.

And suddenly.

Crack.

A crack appeared in the air, and this crack began to rise towards the heavens, and soon the whole sky was the same; a giant crack appeared in the sky.

Turning her Spear a bit, the Spear started to get covered in Ice, and when Ruby hit the ground with the Spear's pommel,

All the ground and structures except the castle were frozen.

"Welcome to our World, Demons."

Ruby's smile grew under her mask:

"And... Be careful; the weather forecast today is snow."

When Ruby finished speaking, snow began to fall from the Ice crevices in the sky, whose fissures began to crack even more until they shattered into thousands of pieces.

All that was left in the sky was a big, gigantic heavy cloud that encompassed the entire territory of Clan Scarlett.

And when that snow touched a Demon... The entire Demon turned into an Ice Statue.

Wherever the snow touched, everything was frozen; the concentration of Ice power in those tiny snowflakes was ridiculous.

"…Well, fuck. I knew I should have brought another Duke; at this rate, my soldiers will perish." Zagan commented with narrowed eyes.

Liena, Edward, and Leona, who were watching this, just stared in disbelief.

The two Alpha Werewolves knew of the Vampires' potential for area damage; they knew that potential was ridiculous, but... They really had no idea it was so absurd.

"... A monster's daughters will always be monsters, no matter if they are younger or not," Liena commented as she took hold of her Rifle, put it on her back, and jumped towards another building.

One thing she noticed was that when a snowflake was about to collide with her, the Snowflake mysteriously dodged her.

'Are these monsters controlling this thing?' She was once again shocked.

This technique combined the strengths of the four sisters.

Lacus' bloodline, which could create a type of 'smoke' that resembled a cloud.

Pepper's water power.

The abundant Ice power of Siena.

And Ruby's supernatural control.

A technique that Scathach herself declared was at the level of destroying large cities and had enormous potential for field control.

A technique that could only be done by the four sisters together.

A technique without a name and one that didn't really need one.

"Siena, control the battlefield."

"Already on it," Siena commented as she looked up at the sky, her eyes glowing blood red; then the snowfall started to increase.

Thousands of sharp ice spikes so small they were almost invisible began to be created.

"Ugh, this was originally your job, did you know? I'm horrible at controlling it."

"I know, but you improved your control with my husband, right?"

Siena just snorted with an annoyed expression and continued to do her job.

Soon these thin, invisible ice spikes started falling all over the territory and instantly began killing all the Demons.

With this move alone, more than 30% of the Demons were cleansed, and the rest were incapacitated because they couldn't move, although some Demons were protecting themselves with a kind of black miasma that covered their body.

Those who were lucky just turned into ice statues and remained there awaiting death, after all, there was no 'friendship' and 'companionship' between Demons.

If you died or were disabled, it was because you were weak.

"Lacus and Pepper, come with me."

"Okay, Sis." Smoke daggers were made in Lacus' hand, and a kind of purple 'energy' seemed to be concentrated in the blades.

"Umu, Umu!" Pepper was getting excited, she bumped her fists with each other, and soon her fists were covered in Water, and two gloves were made of concentrated Water.

These gloves had three spikes on the tip, spikes that Pepper could control in any way she wanted.

"...Oya? Won't you want the Ice weapons?"

"Nah, Victor taught us a lot of things."

"... I can see that," Ruby commented as she looked at her sister Lacus' form.

The three sisters looked at the Demons, and with one step, they disappeared, and all that was heard around them were screams, roars, and flesh being torn apart.
