Chapter 537: Everyone was involved.
"Hmm~Hmm~." Jeanne hummed with a smile on her face, and seemed quite satisfied as she ignored the chaos around her that was already being taken care of by the royal guards.
"..." Morgana just looked at Jeanne with troubled eyes, not knowing what to say now.
Should she comment on the previous show...? Just ignore it.
Dilemmas.
Jeanne screwed up her pretty face, and felt like she was forgetting something, an annoying pest that should be killed off.
"Ahhh, Baal-" The moment she remembered a certain demon, six pillars of power rose to the heavens.
Jeanne and Morgana, as well as all the vampires present, looked at the pillars of power coming from the royal castle!
The faces of the two mothers quickly darkened, and without wasting time, they flew at full speed towards that spot.
Upon arriving at the scene, the two mothers glowed with anger as they looked at Baal, who was missing his right hand, right leg, and left eye.
He was in a deplorable state, and around him were six shadow corpses in the form of a vampire count, and not far from them were Vlad's children lying on the ground.
Adam, Saul, Lucas, and Elizabeth.
Lilith was being held by Baal with his remaining hand.
"Haaah, should I say, as expected of Vlad's royal guards?"
Jeanne's eyes gleamed intensely when she saw the state of her son.
"...." Baal narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw Jeanne's intensity.
'Not just the ex-general, even Jeanne? What's up?' Baal's gaze soon turned neutral, and his smile returned, but he was more cautious.
"Although the eldest children were also strong, unfortunately, it is not enough~."
"Baal!"
"Drop my daughter now!"
"... Hmm? Oya, this is unexpected. They were neutralized so quickly."
"I was hoping they'd be able to make more time for me."
Darkness appeared behind Jeanne, and soon Ophis appeared with an emotionless look, but one that was a little afraid.
"Little fox, you certainly are slippery." Baal spoke while looking at Ophis, when he invaded this place, he looked for the king's youngest daughter, but the little girl was gone.
He knew she wasn't far away, and just watching, he could feel her gaze.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe just didn't know where she was.
Ophis looked at Jeanne. She had seen the woman's struggle, and in her mind, she was the strongest woman present here.
"Jeanne... Please."
"...." Jeanne turned her glowing face to Ophis.
The little girl cringed a little.
Immediately, Jeanne's gaze softened, seeing her determined eyes, she realized that the little girl had a plan.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Very Well." Having no time to play, Jeanne's body was covered in a greenish aura.
'This...-' He didn't have time to think when Jeanne surpassed his speed of perception, even with him on guard, as she took Baal's hand...
She tried, as the woman's hand passed over the demon's body, and Baal pulled away from Jeanne.
"Jeanne, don't try to attack him while he's defensive, it's useless, you'll just pass through his body, and try to use holy attributes, or attacks that can damage the soul if you can't force him to attack, just so that the defense disappears." As someone who has fought Baal many times, she knew his weakness.
"Sacred attribute, right? Got it." Jeanne's hand began to glow gold, and, even though it hurt like hell, she didn't express it. The priority was to get Lilith out of this demon's hand.
"Tsk, Woman, no spoilers-." Baal looked away as a blast of heat shot from Morgana's eyes.ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novelenglish.net . fire(.)net
'What-?' Baal quickly turned away, but he noticed that his cheeks had been burned.
'Impossible. Did she get past my defenses? And what is this attack? She didn't have it before.' Then, just a second later, he understood something.
'Oh, the dream, huh. It's been a while since I fought a Succubus.' When he understood that it was a dream, a dark power covered his body, and the 'wound' on his cheek ceased to exist.'
Jeanne kicked the ground and tried to get close to Baal, but the demon just raised his hand and pointed Lilith in her direction.
'Ugh.' Jeanne stopped and didn't attack.
"Not one more step." Baal put his foot on Adam's head.
"Bastard!"
Jeanne and Morgana growled as Morgana's body glowed with radiation again.
'...Is it the vampire power she received?'
"L-Let go of me!" Lilith struggled while being held by Baal.
"Shh, I'm almost done, I just need to go to the other sister-."
He looked at Vlad's sons in shock when he realized they had disappeared.
"That sneaky little fox!" He looked around for Ophis, but the little girl was already gone.
Annoyed that he couldn't fulfill all of his goals and annoyed that the demons he brought in were so useless, Baal made a decision.
Unfortunately, he didn't have time to make that decision.
"...." Because a frightening pressure had descended on the entire Nightingale.
The three looked towards the sky, and as their gaze could pass over the walls, they saw a man standing with a neutral expression.
'He is here.' Baal thought with disdain.
Vlad, along with Victor, Natashia, and Scathach appeared on top of the royal capital, only narrowed his eyes when he saw the state of the royal capital.
Everything was destroyed, as hateful holy flames surrounded the entire capital, and more importantly, he could sense intruders in his castle.
His castle, His home!
It had been a while since an emotion had hit Vlad as deeply as it did now, and he was filled with....
Rage.
But as a king and an experienced progenitor, he didn't get lost in emotions but instead channeled all that anger into a cold expression.
Seconds later, Natalia and Alexios appear.
"Natalia, take me to the Snow Clan." Agnes spoke quickly.
"Yes."
"Alexios." Scathach looked at the man. She didn't need words, her gaze was enough.
"At your service."
Soon two portals appeared, one in front of Scathach, the other in front of Agnes.
"...Sasha." Natashia and Victor muttered in concern as they looked towards Clan Fulger.
"Old man, take care of everything."
"..." Vlad didn't say anything, but the dark pressure that came out of his body was enough for Victor to know that the royal capital was fine.
Soon Victor and Natashia disappeared.
"Well, fuck." A dark portal different from Clan Alioth appeared next to Baal. The man looked at the portal, and prioritized his mission, quickly the man threw Lilith in that place.
"Mother-" That was the only thing Morgana heard before the portal closed.
"Lilith, nooo!"
Morgana darted towards the portal, but the portal only closed, and she was hit by Baal's leg.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Jeanne appeared at Baal's side, she was going to punch him in the face.
Suddenly, something happened again.
All the sounds in the world seemed to disappear for a few seconds, and only a dark voice that sent chills through everyone in the royal capital was heard.
"That is enough."
Vlad's skin began to fade, and only something 'dark' and formless was present, two wings made of that darkness appeared behind him, and the effect was instantaneous.
"Ima-Ku-Roi." Speaking in a forgotten language that may not even be remembered by mankind.
Demonic screams began to be heard, and the vampires outside looked at the demons in shock, as the demons began to dissolve.
Body, Bones, everything from the demon dissolved and became just…Blood.
All the blood splattered across the capital as the bodies of the demons turned to blood, and it all floated towards Vlad.
And all that blood flew towards his 'wings' and was absorbed by those wings.
And with just that gesture, all the demons were killed.
That existence in the sky vanished and appeared in the castle. Vlad ignored everything and looked at Baal.
Jeanne quickly backed away from Baal, as she sensed Vlad's intent to attack, and the next second, Vlad was in front of Baal.
"... You are late." Baal's smile was still on his face.
Vlad ignored the man and tried to erase him from existence with his blood domain, but... Nothing happened.
Going the old-fashioned way, he pierces Baal's body, but a barrier the same color as the portal appeared around Vlad.
"Give it up, even you cannot surpass that power. After all, that power is on the same level as your friend."
"And one thing we do know is that you're not on that level."
"...Who? Who did you trade? My friend would not break his neutrality, and neither would the other four. They are too 'big' to intervene in 'small' conflicts." Vlad's disembodied voice rang throughout the room.
"Hahahaha~, Vlad as an old man, you should know."
"Everything and everyone has a price. Even beings like the 5 regulators of existence are the same. We just needed to find the correct currency."
"...."
....
