Chapter 43: Resurrection

Chapter 43: Resurrection

Cid fell to his knees.

He wondered what happened as blood dripped from almost all over his body.

His breathing was heavy.

What... what did he do?)

Across front him, Gerhardt was seated.

He was looking at Cid in a disinterested manner.

Cid was trying to stand up, but an invisible force was hitting him.

He fell backwards and spat blood.

Then, the coffin that was sealed opened.

A mummy should be in there, but whoever placed a hand outside to get out was a beauty.

A beautiful woman with white skin stood up, she was naked.

Her hair was as red as blood and covered her entire body.

Her limbs were long, so she was very tall.

Her ears, like those of the other vampires, were pointed.

Her leg moved to get out, but she stumbled due to how weak she was.

Gerhardt approached her as he spoke.

"Aah~ mother, I was waiting to see you all this time."

Cid was trying to stand up. Since, the vampire queen's resurrection was successful.

Gerhardt was only two meters away from her, but then he disappeared.

Cid was speechless as in less than a blink of an eye, the man in front of him was gone.

What he did notice, was that there were two holes in the place, through one of them red light from the moon was coming in.

Gerhardt was meters away from meeting his "mother".

Unbeknownst to him, an unknown force impelled him out of the tower.

When he realized what happened, he was falling.

"...!?"

He reacted in time. From his back, bat wings made of black colored blood manifested on his back.

He watched the tower from the outside.

Then, a voice came from behind him.

"So you're the famous night king, are you?"

Quickly without changing his expression, he looked above him at a floating woman.

Her dress was dark blue and shone brightly in the night.

Her blonde hair was as long as it was beautiful, but even with that long hair, she couldn't hide her elven ears.

Her radiant crystalline eyes looked at him as if he were an insect.

She crossed her arms under her large, exposed breasts before speaking.

"There are many things I want to ask you, the first of which is. Have you seen a handsome black-haired boy in there?"

That woman, was Amy.

Amy was asking Gerhardt as if she were the owner of a company inquiring about the balance of overall sales.

Gerhardt rose to stand above Amy before answering her.

"Was it you who ruined my meeting with mother?"

Amy looked at him the same way, but repeated her question with discomfort.

"I asked you if you saw a-"

"Black-blooded magic: Blutbad."

Gerhardt interrupted Amy by casting a high-level spell.

His vampiric ability was to use his own blood.

Gerhardt could manipulate his blood vessels, arteries and anything that is a conductor of blood from his body.

From his body, a large amount of black blood, as if it were clotted, came straight out to Amy.

It trapped her in a prison made of black blood.

A large black cube of twenty square meters was the prison. It was getting smaller with each passing second.

Gerhardt watched the prison shrink, turned around to go back to his mother.

Then.

"I heard that vampires were aristocrats with the best education. Maybe that education was nothing more than self-conformism? Since you're not educated."

"Let me teach you manners, when a lady speaks-"

The prison began to expand like a balloon, then...

"It's a man's duty to listen to her."

It exploded like one.

The black blood was falling. Gerhardt just moved his head a little, using his index finger, the falling blood rose to form spinning spears.

"Black blood magic: Blutlanze."

The black spears were spinning at high speed approaching Amy.

She watched without interest. Her hand raised and then.

"It seems that an animal will always be an animal, even if it dresses like a man."

Various purple magic circles appeared near her.

Small winged spheres came out of those circles and small laser beams shot out.

The arrows were instantly destroyed.

Gerhardt raised an eyebrow, Amy seemed to have caught his interest.

This time both his hands pointed at her.

"Black blood magic: Fledermaus."

From her body various blood vessels came out which joined together to form a dozen huge blood bats.

They all surrounded Amy.

Gerhardt analyzed that she was a hindrance to his plans.

"A woman is no match for me. No, the proper thing to say would be that a puny elf is no match for a vampire."

"You filthy tree worshippers may compare with us in our longevity, but your life expectancy is barely a small fraction of ours. You will never-"

A popping sound interrupted Gerhardt's dialogue.

It was half of his body being disintegrated by a beam of purple light.

A blue vein was marked on Amy's forehead.

Her hand was raised, then she snapped her fingers.

"Disappear."

With those words, all the red bats were destroyed by the purple spheres.

For the first time in several decades, Gerhardt showed an expression of confusion on his face.

He watched his body regenerate and then Amy in small intervals.

Then that day popped into his mind.

It was the day when the country the vampires lived in was destroyed.

They lived in a human kingdom for centuries.

Gerhardt at that time was 450 years old, vampires can live up to 1000 years without aging.

And since they practice incest, their blood not only does not get contaminated, they also do not age.

The human kingdom they lived in was one where they ruled from the shadows.

They hated the light, so they created a special suit that prevents sunlight from touching them.

On the night of their birthday, they were attacked.

A man in red armor with horns destroyed the castle where Gerhardt and all the superior vampires were.

That night, he met defeat.

He activated his awakening and ended up without limbs.

Quinque was his vassal, but even his right hand lost half his head dodging an attack.

The one who did it came by order of the emperor, he was the demon knight.

As they escaped, Gerhardt watched as his relatives were slaughtered.

They hid in the surrounding area.

When the sun rose, the vampires who were not killed were tortured in the sunlight.

Gerhardt watched as his wife and children were burned alive.

His ears were so large that they almost made him look like an elephant.

His arms were longer and his fingernails grew into claws.

His jaw stretched a little and he looked at Amy in a sinister manner.

He flew away from her flying close to the tower.

He was meters away from her.

But a defensive circle appeared and prevented him.

Amy was behind him.

Her face indicated she was bored.

"I've had enough of these games. I'm going to end this, I no longer care that you are a key player in my research on that pill. I'll kill you right now."

Amy's hand was pointed at Gerhardt.

But he decided to use all his power.

"You don't underestimate me, you filthy elf!"

He raised his hands to the sky and said.

"Ultimate black-blooded magic: Grosse Blutsonne!"

"Come to your monarch, my minions!"

Then, all the vampires located throughout the duchy, along with the ghouls, began to turn liquid.

Screams of agony could be heard everywhere.

This was the "summoning", a game skill he used. This is a spell used by a superior vampire that turns others into vampires or ghouls.

He would give a command for everyone to give him their power.

Above Gerhardt a large black sphere formed.

It grew to the size of a small planet.

Amy saw that and her expression didn't change.

Her hand remained the same, she even yawned.

With all his might, Gerhardt boasted.

"This is the ultimate power of the night king! No one has ever taunted me like you did!"

"I'll grant you the honor of tasting the ultimate power of the night king! In human terms, this is level 6 friend! Hahaha, I'm unstoppable!"

"Absurd."

Said Amy interrupted Gerhardt's victory dialogue.

A small magic circle formed.

A laser beam was shot straight at the sphere.

It began to crack into small pieces and after seconds it was destroyed.

As if it were glass in slow motion, Gerhardt watched his ultimate ability shattered.

This time his expression of disbelief.

His eyes moved to see Amy say.

"That was magic level 4. A few weeks ago I managed to go even higher. Now try 1% magic level 8."

Purple magic circles formed in front of her and for the first time she recited a spell.

"Gaia's Magic: Wrathful Lightning."

A small thunderstorm was shot straight at Gerhardt.

It didn't last more than 3 seconds the event.

He was electrocuted to the point that his regeneration was useless.

At the end of the punishment.

Gerhardt looked like a burnt cookie.

His mouth was open.

He was slowly turning to ashes.

He was falling like a leaf on an autumn night.

Staring at the red moon without being able to complete his mission.

A crystalline tear was running down her cheek.

I wanted to bring back the glory to our race...)

We, vampires have no place to live.)

Humans have looked down on us even if we did nothing.)

What's wrong with living as we please? Humans are just like us in using their own, but we vampires don't discriminate against our brothers.)

Mother... sorry for not fulfilling your dream-)

"How annoying you are, just die already."

With those words.

Amy launched an electric attack much more powerful than the previous one.

Gerhardt was destroyed in a jiffy.

His body turned completely to ashes while his heart slowly faded away.

The night king and his subordinates were destroyed.

The lawless city no longer had a ruler.

But someone still remained.

Having seen it all.

The vampire queen didn't say a single word.

Her gaze turned straight to Cid.

He didn't understand what happened, but he tried to stand up.

There was no one else who could fight.

Then, someone grabbed him and he was thrown out of the tower.

He was caught by golden threads.

It was Clement who could not enter due to the fact that he was fighting vampires until a moment ago.

As the situation was bad for them, he decided to retreat.

Cid asked him.

"Professor, why did you pull me out?"

"We must!"

"What are you talking about, I didn't take you out. I was looking for how to do it and I saw that you were thrown."

Cid had a look of confusion on his face.

Someone threw me out no doubt, but who?)

Then, a face came to his mind.

At the same time.

Someone stood in front of the vampire queen.

Her blood-red eyes watched that person without interest.

She opened her mouth and said.

"Are you the one who will grant me my wish?"

"Yes."

She made for the first time an expression. It looked like joy.

"Then, please. Grant me what I desire so much."

Her hair covered her body.

Some kind of black leather armor-suit covered her body.

Boots with heels on her feet.

A red cape on her back.

A crest of a cross over her large breasts.

She was the queen of vampires.

Astraea Gerbera der Trueblood.

She looked longingly at the person in front.

"Tell me your name."

The person opened her mouth and said.

"I am Licht."

It was Razel without his mask.

"And I have come to kill you as you wish."

The final fight in the lawless city, between Razel and the vampire queen, had just begun.
