Chapter 649: The Traitorous Vampires



-----

Emeraldine's face looked filled with horror and shock, as she called for us. As we inspected the ruined village, she found something rather horrifying… yet I couldn't help but be reminded of the same state the Majin were before we freed them from their frozen states.

Indeed… 

"N-No… W-Why?! Why would Tear do this…?!" Veredorr panicked. "W-Why… T-This is…!"

Right in the middle of the ruined village, there was a large quantity of people in the floor. They were all frozen with the same magic that the Frost Queen used with the Majin. Even children, pregnant mothers, elderly, all frozen solid.

They were Ice Giants, so they were probably still alive even in such conditions, but perhaps how long have they been trapped here? Without being able to eat, to talk, to feel anything, in an endless prison of cold ice…

"T-They're frozen…" Lucifer said. "Did the Frost Queen do this? Why would she freeze her own people? Why would she torture them like this?! Dammit, we don't have my sister's flames…"

"It's fine, we'll unfreeze them once this is all over." I sighed. "But this is… I want to remain calm, but it really makes me go mad. Why did she do this? I guess she could do whatever she wanted to others, but to her own people? Is this how she killed you, Veredorr?"

"I… Yeah." Veredorr sighed. "However, I was unable to survive the cold, and died almost instantly. Perhaps the Ice Giants… Ah, I can feel their souls, their bodies still live, but they're very weak. If we wait longer, they might not make it."

"Ice Giants are incredibly resilient people." Jonathan said. "It is amazing that they're still alive after being frozen like this for so long… Well, it is the same for the Majin, a special type of freezing that seals them in place, like an eternal prison. Perhaps the Frost Queen didn't exactly meant to kill them, but to just… throw them aside and forget about them."

"This is the village where everything started, but why is it in the tower?" Emeraldine wondered. 

"Why, you ask~?"

Suddenly, we heard the voice of a woman. It wasn't the Frost Queen's voice, but a different person altogether, which slowly manifested herself in front of us, above the ruined village.

With unhealthy pale white skin, sharp red eyes, and long dark purple hair, a beautiful Vampiress manifested herself, opening her arms wide and showing her sharp, long nails. She wore a black dress, and over it, black and red armor finely decorated. 

A powerful Aura of Darkness and Blood surged from within her body, encompassing all our surroundings… But I could even sense the power of the element of Death itself. This woman might be… a Vampire cooperating with the Frost Queen.

But Vampires are sneaky bastards, why would she show herself so fast in front of all of us like this? It just doesn't make much sense… Unless she has other intentions rather than battling against us.

"A Vampire?!" Jonathan roared. "You! You're the ones that created the entire conspiracy that ended with Maria's death!" He pointed his sword at her. "Come down and confront us! I'll cut your head off!"

"Oh my~ What a brave little betraying hero you are, Jonathan." Giggled the vampire woman. "I like that attitude! Honestly speaking, I was shocked when I learned you joined Maria and everyone else, even when she's now an ugly ghost and has ugly undead friends."

"Shut up! You have no saying over my own decisions…" Jonathan said. "I don't even know who you are, but I know you're the ones behind my disciples transformations into monsters… You poisoned their bodies and corrupted their minds!"

"Fufufu~ Yeah, keep blaming us for everything." The Vampiress laughed. 

"Jonathan, there's no point in talking with her." I said. "She's just mocking us. Speak already, bitch, what do you want? I doubt you want to fight all of us at once, right? You'll be dead before you can even realize what's happening."

"Oooh? You really think I couldn't go against all of you at once?" The Vampiress face became angered, showing us her sharp fangs. "Yet… you're right, this is not my style. I only came here to take a look, to see all of you. After everything we've orchestrated, it is truly frustrating to see all of you still alive, you're an eyesore for sure. Not only Maria, but that stupid dragon over there… and the little witty hero…"

"Me?" Lucifer asked. "You Vampires… What do you mean I am somehow part of what you orchestrated?"

"Heheh, didn't you realize?" She asked, winking at Lucifer. "The death of the dragons… The death of the old Demon King, why do you think the humans knew all of your positions? Why do you think they knew all of our tactics, and even your weaknesses?"

Lucifer gritted his teeth, his aura growing furious with draconic might.

"Traitors…" His eyes glowing redder. "I had imagined so… But hearing it so outright is… So infuriating. I knew you simply decided to run away afterwards, but I should had known you were the ones that allied them from the beginning! You filthy rats!"

"Dragon King Lucifer, your resurrection by the hands of Maria was quite shocking to say the least." Sighed the Vampiress woman. "I feel like I should had done something myself about this sooner. But now, we've been pushed a bit into a corner~ Well, for now, I simply can't let you advance further. How about you all die now, huh?"

"So you're going to fight us?" Partner smiled, her vampiric aura surging. "Good, been a while since I've drank Vampire blood."

"Ah, Maria's skeleton, huh?" Laughed the Vampiress. "To think her own corpse would turn into such a strong being… Now what was one problem became two, hahaha! So ridiculous… Yet, no, I am not going to fight your pathetic existences. In fact, I'll leave it all to the ones you've killed… Hehehe… HAHAHAH! COME!"

FLUOOOOOSH!

Her shadows spread around the frozen lands, as her Death, Darkness, and Blood energies converged with the snow and ice in the surroundings… And then, several enormous and familiar figures emerged one after the other.
