Chapter 371: Everything was planned
"No matter how resilient you are, once you lose the connection to the 'core'... You are just another mortal," Theo's voice held a mix of derision and certainty, emphasizing the critical importance of that connection to the source of their mana.
'Thu'
In response, a defiant spark gleamed in the Vampire Queen's eyes as she spat back, "So, you are fearful enough to sever the connection, hoping mortals will cower before you?"
Theo's expression darkened at her bold retort, "Do you believe you can twist words after groveling?" His question carried a challenge, a veiled threat simmering beneath the surface.
"Cough, Cough"
Coughing, blood staining her lips, the Vampire Queen remained undeterred, "Nah, I merely speak the truth. You were hardly a threat to him," she pointed at Rock's head, her smirk unwavering, "He could dispatch you effortlessly if not for your cowardly tactic of disconnecting from mana. You know it, and so do I. That's why you resorted to such a feeble ploy...hehe... Coward!!"
Theo's grip tightened on Rock's head, his features contorting with suppressed rage at her unrelenting words. The realization that she had struck a nerve was evident in his reaction, his smug demeanor crumbling under the weight of her accusations.
"It seems I've struck a nerve... hehe..." Vampire Queen chuckled, a hint of satisfaction gleaming in her eyes as she watched Theo's smug facade crumble in the face of her truth.
Yes, what she said was undoubtedly true.
Rock would undeniably be able to dispatch Theo with ease. It's just that when things inside Theo's body, Rock found himself caught in a whirlwind of uncertainty. He wasn't entirely sure how capable that summoned form was. Theo's unpredictable nature and unknown capabilities made Rock wary. Who knows what he would pull off in such a dire confrontation?
That's precisely why Rock opted to let the Vampire Queen take charge and confront Theo head-on.
Though the healing ability might be the problem.
With a sinister gleam in his eyes, Theo extended his left hand, fingers curling into a malevolent gesture directed at the Vampire Queen. "Die!" he commanded, unleashing a searing bolt of lightning toward her.
The air crackled with electricity as the bolt surged forward with deadly intent. Despite the impending danger, the Vampire Queen remained resolute, a picture of unwavering determination as she proudly stood her ground, facing the onslaught without flinching.
Theo's expression contorted into a frown of frustration as he witnessed the Vampire Queen's unwavering confidence.
However, just before the bolt of lightning could reach its target and unleash its destructive fury, three shadowy figures materialized before the Vampire Queen and,
"BOOMM!!"
The deafening explosion reverberated across the battlefield, marking the collision of forces in a display of raw power.
"Ara~Ara~ Youngester these days are quite fierce" The white-orange-haired fox woman, stood tall with an air of elegance befitting her nine majestic tails. Each tail swayed gracefully behind her, adding an ethereal quality to her appearance. Her orange kimono was intricately designed, featuring delicate patterns that complemented her vulturous body.
Her eyes, a mesmerizing shade of amber, held a depth of wisdom and experience that belied her youthful appearance.
"Adriana, you really do not know when to give up! Really annoying queen!!" The glossy white-haired woman exuded an aura of authority and calm confidence. Her honey-coloured eyes gleamed with intelligence and determination as she surveyed the battlefield.
..
The resounding clashes echoed through the battlefield, marking the intense exchange of magical forces and physical prowess.
After successfully neutralizing every incoming attack, both women gracefully backed off, their bodies adorned with crimson hues that spoke of the injuries they had sustained in the fierce battle.
"It's incredibly challenging without mana," the Fox woman muttered in disdain, her expression clouded as she glanced at her slightly torn and dishevelled kimono, a testament to the rigours of attacks.
Meanwhile, the wolf-woman observed her blood-stained hands with a mixture of satisfaction and contentment. Despite the pain and wounds, her demeanour exuded a sense of joy, as if she relished the adrenaline-fueled chaos of battle.
"Sadist," the Fox woman teased playfully, her tone tinged with a hint of amusement and affection as she remarked on her friend's seemingly joyful disposition amidst the violence.
"Tsk," the wolf-woman clicked her tongue dismissively, her focus shifting to Theo, who was visibly frowning now.
His hands showed signs of distortion as he grappled with the consequences of their relentless assault. "Hmmm," Theo muttered to himself, his frustration evident as he recognized the limitations imposed on him, "Tsk, Looks like my time is nearing....." he lamented inwardly for using extra energy.
Turning his attention to the smirking Vampire Queen as if she was winning, Theo.... or rather Zeus, felt a surge of annoyance building within him.
Despite his godlike powers, he was restrained by the rules and regulations governing his actions in this realm. His irritation simmered beneath the surface, if not for the restriction he would have already roasted like a dog.
"You think you saved that human from me? No matter what it takes, I will kill him before my time here finishes" Zeus declared, his voice resonating with golden energy that cracked the very fabric of space.
The Vampire Queen's expression twisted into a strange amalgamation of amusement and disdain as she responded, "Save him? From you? Oh, you Shitty God," she shook her head in disbelief.
Confusion clouded Zeus's features as he tilted his head, trying to decipher the cryptic words. 'What is she babbling about?' he wondered, perturbed by her cryptic remarks.
Pulling away from the white-haired woman, the Vampire Queen stood tall and proud, her demeanour shifting to one of dark determination, "I am not like 'Her' to protect him..... " as her expression turned dark and dark.... that sent a shiver down everyone's spine. "I want to see his..... love for me" she continued, her words laced with a sinister undertone that hinted at hidden motivations.
"Hmmm?" This time not only Zeus but also the trio frowned not understanding her words.
"I wanted to witness his growth beyond anyone... and for that, he needs emotional stimulation. An emotion that breaks his boundaries and transforms him into a monster that even 'She' fears.... I-I want to know what he will do once he sees me hurt..... ah~" Her expression turned really weird.
It almost made everyone step back.
"H-he will torture you... Ah~I want to see his angry face~ He will face the gods for me, right?" The Queen's speech became erratic, her excitement palpable as she rambled on, drool escaping from the corner of her mouth.
'What a weird vampire...?' Zeus thought.
'Her Majesty????' The trio was completely taken by the situation.
