Rose walked forward with her torn gown. She soon arrived a few meters before the throne, and then he smiled at her.
"Seems like you still want another beating, Rose," the man said and then relaxed his back on the throne.
"Haha, that was 5,000 years ago. I've had that much time to improve," Rose's voice became dark and grim as she stared at the man sitting on the throne.
"Sarah..." The man's calm voice reached the maid's ears, and she stepped forward with two daggers materializing in her hands.
At a glance, the vampires could tell that the daggers were made of the same metal that the stronger knights had on their weapons—like a shadow but at the same time like actual metal.
Rose got ready, and then her skin began to turn blue again, and her eyes glowed even brighter than before. Her claws had a white light, and her hair turned completely white.
The maid, on the other hand, had a black line mark going down her left eye onto her left arm, which spread into something more complex, like a tattoo.
*Bang!!!!*
Rose and the maid clashed, and they went all out. Dexter smiled as he was able to see each and every movement they made.
He was stunned by the maid's daggers, which were like extendable arms, and the way she used them, like an assassin.
Rose was keeping up with the dagger play. The surroundings around them began to chill, and Rose leaped into the air before looking at Sarah coldly.
White flames rose up around the maid, and then her eyes widened as she saw that this was a trap.
Before she could run out of the circle, the wall of flames fell inward, and her scream could be heard outside.
The flames were dispersed as a red energy spread around the surroundings, and the vampires looked to the man on the throne.
"Since you want to fight me so badly, I'll let you..." The king smiled, and with a wave of his hand, a black swirling energy appeared on the ground, and a person emerged from it.
The crowd paid attention to this. The other counts weren't able to interfere because they knew that Rose was the strongest one out of all of them.
The clone couldn't move at all, and it noticed its hand frozen to the ground, held by a chunk of ice which had a subtle glow to it.
The count of the snow clan looked over at the king of vampires, and then he frowned as he gazed at the smiling vampire.
"Impressive..." he muttered only that one word as he stood up from the throne.
Rose didn't fret, and she walked towards him with a very cautious gaze.
"Hand over the first key fragment..." she demanded, looking at him straight in the eye.
The clone suddenly turned into a black mist and flew towards the king. The mist suddenly engulfed the man and swirled, making a mini black hurricane.
The hurricane soon dispersed to reveal the king without his shirt. His arm became black from his elbow, and sharp claws could be seen.
He had markings on his body which spread as a line across his two eyes, resembling Sarah's.
"Come at me... Rose," the man said in a calm tone, and then Rose charged at him, a pressure falling upon the vampires as her entire body seemed to now be covered in a blue freezing aura that froze the flowers she stepped on immediately.
She was already in front of the king, and he smiled as he moved away from his position.
He grabbed her neck and then slammed her into the ground before dragging her across the field, slamming her against the sturdy walls of the labyrinth.
He raised her up and then cross-swiped her with his claws.
Blood splattered in the air as Rose was pushed back, and she gritted her teeth as she stared at the vampire walking towards her calmly.
"Go to hell..." The words came out of her mouth, and then she caught his leg in a chunk of ice, which spread upwards, and the ice had a glow to it.
The king tried to move, but he frowned as he couldn't.
Before he could do anything else, his head flew in the air, and blood splattered all over the field.
