Chapter 33: The Vampire Princess, Yan Xinran. Part-4.
With bat-like wings growing out of her back, Xinran appeared in the sky and looked at Zephyr with great interest in her eyes.
By now, the intense desire to drink his blood and eat him up had intensified so much that she was starting to lose her patience!
And the more interested she became in his body, the more Zephyr felt threatened.
"Very well, I must acknowledge your strength! If you had proper combat arts and mana at your disposal, you would really have been a big trouble for me to deal with..."
"Be proud, Zephyr Reid! I, the princess of the Jauregia Empire, acknowledge your strength!"
While saying those words, Xinran raised her flame sword towards the sky and casted a magic so powerful that the entire flow of mana in the hundreds of kilometers wide town got disrupted and forcefully altered!
[Master Grade Blood Magic: Blood Manipulation: Create New Puppet Army!]
A magic circle so big that it seemed to have covered the entire sky appeared over the giant town and glowed bright red, making the entire area suppressed with its magical aura!
*OOOOUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!*
Loud noises rang out from all directions as Zephyr watched the dead bodies of the giants stand up one after another!
Giant corpses that had their upper torsos blown apart combined their lower torsos with a corpse that had its lower torso blown, thus creating a fully giant puppet!
New giant puppets were created one after another, and they all rushed straight in Zephyr’s direction at full speed!
Looking at this scene, Zephyr’s jaw almost fell on the ground as he could not believe what his eyes were seeing.
The scale of Xinran’s magic was so insanely massive that he felt like an insignificant bug in front of her!
’Y-you have got to be kidding me!? She can even do necromancy!? What can’t she do!? Is she omnipotent!? WTF!?’
Only after seeing the full capability of her magic did Zephyr realize the weight behind the title that she held.
Yan Xinran was called ’The Vampire Princess’ not just because of her royal bloodline and her status as the princess of the Jauregia Empire; she had strength befitting that title!
[Rolling_Crocodile: Told you! It’s pointless to go against a yandere! Just be obedient and enjoy it! At least you will get to be in close contact with such a beautiful woman as your last memory.]
[Blue_Dinosaur: GG. It was good knowing you. Alas, the great Tank God will be defeated today. Sigh, I thought he would be the first one to cross the 7-day mark, but I guess that was asking too much...]
[Invincible_Bob: Don’t lose hope, Anchor! The word hopelessness and fear do not exist in the dictionary of the great Tank God!! A Main Tank is invincible, and fearless even when facing against great odds!!]
[Shining_Lorraine: Ah man... I feel sad just looking at this... the anchor is going to be defeated soon, isn’t he... I can’t see any way out of this situation now.]
Ignoring the depressing comments, Zephyr turned to his system and clicked on the hint option.
He had about 14000 BP at the moment, and it was possible to buy one hint from the system.
’Pulling a lottery would be useless at this moment, as I will likely not be able to pull anything good; let’s just go with the hint.’
[Ding! Are you sure you want to buy a ’Hint’?]
[Yes or No]
’Yes!’
[Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully bought a hint!]
With great anticipation and hope in his eyes, Zephyr looked at the hint, but to his disappointment, it seemed that even the system had decided to give up on him in such a desperate moment.
{Let her bite you!}
’What!?’
Just when Zephyr was stunned speechless, a massive fist came crashing down in his direction, and he was forced to stop thinking about the system and react immediately!
[Master Grade Martial Art: Lethal Boxing: Unbreakable Fist!]
As dodging was impossible, Zephyr immediately used his full strength to launch a counterattack with his punch to stop the giant’s fist from crushing him.
*BOOOM!!!*
The two punches collided with each other, and a shockwave so powerful that the nearby giant huts were blown away from the sheer wind pressure was created!
The ground cracked, and debris flew in the air!
Although Zephyr managed to barely stop the giant fist midway, the rest of his body became defenseless, and Xinran was definitely not going to let such a golden opportunity go to waste!
She appeared right beside Zephyr almost immediately, as if she knew long ago that Zephyr would be able to stop the giant’s fist.
With a grin on her cute face, she clenched her small girly fist and punched Zephyr in the chin just like he had punched her before!
[Phoenix Style Martial Art: Fist of the Flame Sage: Shattered Light!]
Hit by such a powerful attack head-on, Zephyr’s body got blown away with immense force and impact from the fist, almost causing him to lose consciousness as the damage directly affected his brain!
Before Zephyr’s body could fly too far, a giant came and caught him!
Four giants came together, and each of them held one of Zephyr’s limbs; by the time Zephyr recovered his consciousness, he was already stuck, as even moving a single finger became impossible.
Zephyr tried to struggle free, but with no proper footing and with no mana control, he was simply unable to exert force in mid-air.
"You have done well to force me to use so much magic; you are a true warrior, Zephyr Reid, but you must understand that there are some things in the world that can’t be solved just by brute strength."
Using her bat wings to fly, Xinran approached Zephyr’s body and caressed his handsome face with her slender hands.
"I am impressed by how strong you are and how much potential you hold. Don’t worry; as a warrior myself, I won’t disgrace you. I will give you a swift, painless death."
"In return, I will make your body a puppet of mine. But fear not, I will take good care of your body after your consciousness disappears. You will forever be able to bask in the glory of this fair maiden."
With a satisfied smile on her face, Xinran hugged Zephyr’s head in her embrace and whispered in his ears,
"Thank you for showing me your bravery and your amazing indomitable personality."
"You can go into the afterlife while being proud that one of the strongest warriors of the Jauregia empire had to almost go all out just to defeat you."
Zephyr had no words to say to Xinran, as he knew it was pointless to beg for mercy in that moment.
He was defeated by her, and it would be pathetic to act like a coward now.
’I guess I will just have to bet it all on my system then... the system gave me a hint saying that I should let her bite me... I just hope that the hint is not false....’
Seeing Xinran open her cute little mouth and approach his neck with her two small vampire teeth, Zephyr closed his eyes and chanted in his mind.
’Don’t let me down system!’
And as if responding to Zephyr’s desperate pleas, a sudden noise rang out in his ears and made the situation turn completely in his favor.
*Crack!*
