The vampire heiress is two-faced

Page 117

Ludwig parried his attack and gave him a mocking smile.

"Does it even resemble a human being? It can still move even with its throat cut off."

Alexei's veins bulged as he kicked Ludwig far away.

"Ugh!"

Her petite stature made her vulnerable, and she was nearly knocked over by the kick. By the time she recovered, Alexei had already rushed dozens of meters away.

"Still want to run?!"

Ludwig, unable to bear it any longer, shouted in a delicate voice.

"Moon Shadow Witch!"

The dark blue witch appeared in response, but this time, Ludwig did not project her consciousness onto her.

She raised her hand and pointed, causing the Moon Shadow Witch to change her posture, tucking her wand between her waist and aiming it at Alexei as if it were a heavy weapon.

The tip of the staff quickly gathered a blazing blue flame, forming a dazzling blue fireball.

"Moonfire Storm!"

At her command, blue light bullets shot out, blasting towards Alexei's back.

This is... the most powerful spell she saw in the Moonshade Witch's "spellbook".

Simply put, it was the day she obtained the Moonshadow Witch that the magic destroyed the castle garden when the Moonshadow Witch went berserk.

One principle is the terrifying magic of thermobaric weapons.

However, the Moon Shadow Witch who went out of control back then was very weak because she had just been born, and the power of the "Moonfire Storm" now is... incomparable to that of then.

call out--

"Moonfire Storm" flew out following the Moon Shadow Witch's aim and struck Alexei squarely.

The next second, the earth shook violently.

bang——

Boom——

Chapter 125 The Past is Gone

boom--

The enormous explosion echoed through the snow-capped mountains, and all that remained before Ludwig's eyes was a perfectly round crater with a radius of tens of meters.

The surrounding ice and snow melted under the drastic temperature changes, leaving the scorched earth completely empty.

"Hmph, this guy got away."

Ludwig knew he possessed a dangerous blood ability that made anything he touched "slippery".

He probably escaped by burrowing underground, but judging from his injuries, he probably won't be able to harass them again anytime soon.

...

However, the fierce battle between Ludwig and Alexei still caused irreparable and serious consequences in this silent high-altitude snowfield.

Shouting is strictly forbidden in the snow-capped mountains, because even the slightest sound and the resulting vibration can cause—

avalanche.

The massive battle between magic and firearms, which lasted for several tens of minutes, had already caused the millennia-old snow on the snow-capped mountains to begin to loosen, and Ludwig's "Moonfire Storm" that she had just launched became the final explosive that caused the dam to burst.

Rumble, rumble, rumble——

Upon hearing the explosion, Yin Shang felt something was terribly wrong, partly because he considered the possibility of an avalanche.

His prediction came true, and he watched helplessly as the valley several kilometers away was swallowed up by the snow waves rushing down from the mountains.

"Lochina...Ludwig!!!"

Yin Shang wanted to rush forward again, but Solid, who was supporting Ruo Keke, quickly grabbed him.

"Brother Yin, no! At least, at least we have to wait until the avalanche is over..."

Yin Shang gritted his teeth:

"Ugh!"

...

...

...

"Wow——"

Ludwig turned and ran for her life, and just as the avalanche was about to engulf the bewildered crowd, her "Stay in This Moment" ability was finally usable again—

"Stay here for now!"

Tick, tick, tick—

Ding!

She seized those precious few seconds, ran to their side, and, despite her exhaustion, raised her hand to shake theirs.

"Moon Shadow Witch!"

hum-

The Moon Shadow Witch immediately appeared.

Without Ludwig's command, she sensed the approaching snow wave, mechanically raised her hand, and a pleasing blue light burst forth from her wand and palm.

A hemispherical magical barrier enveloped everyone, and time began to flow again at that moment.

Rumble, rumble——

Snow and slush, carrying stones, relentlessly battered the fragile magical barrier. Ludwig roared and poured her power into the Moonshadow Witch.

"Drink!"

She knew that once she fell, they would be buried together forever in the snow-capped mountains.

She turned her head slightly to the side. Lochina, who was stunned by the avalanche, had temporarily forgotten to cry, while Ye Liuli, who was immersed in grief and at a loss, finally noticed Ludwig's protection.

Ye Liuli wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded to her.

"I can't help you... Good luck."

Lochina nodded: "Sister! Let Lochina help you!"

Ludwig shook her head: "No need, Lochina. Using the magic spear might trigger an even bigger avalanche... In that case, I'll..."

She swayed and was about to fall, but managed to steady herself.

"...Ugh! If that's the case, I really won't be able to hold on...!"

Rumble, rumble, rumble——

...

...

...

Fortunately, the avalanche, which was enough to kill an ordinary human, only lasted a few minutes. After its aftershocks completely stopped, Ludwig collapsed to the ground, exhausted.

"... Ugh..."

She sat down to rest, feeling dizzy and exhausted from the intense mental exertion.

Although her body hadn't engaged in much combat, using her blood energy and commanding the Moon Shadow Witch had already taken a considerable toll on her mental well-being.

Due to prolonged use of blood energy, a large amount of her blood was consumed to replenish her body's magic power.

As a result, she developed obvious symptoms of anemia: her lips turned purple, her skin turned pale, and her limbs became weak.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness..."

Ludwig looked up at the vast white snowfield in front of her. The landscape had completely changed, and after the avalanche, it was difficult to see what it used to look like.

"The avalanche buried our tracks and completely changed the terrain around here. That 'artillery' should no longer be able to track us."

She looked again and saw that several hundred meters away, Yin Shang was walking towards her with the injured Ruo Keke.

Reinhardt perched on his head, waving his paws at Ludwig.

"They're back too... Miss Ye, let's talk as we walk."

Ludwig said.

"To avoid any unforeseen complications, we need to get to the Vampire Queen quickly. If she has accomplices chasing after us, given our current condition, it's really... cough cough..."

...

Ye Liuli looked up at Ludwig, a hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes.

But more than anything, it was the boundless grief caused by the person in his arms.

“Let’s go now. Little Hilly’s hiding place is safe; that avalanche didn’t affect her at all…”

"It is precisely because it is safe and secluded enough that Xiaoxi built our residence there."

She looked at the girl in her arms, whose eyes had closed forever, and gently stroked her still dazzling golden hair.

"Xiaoqi...you've seen me crying again. I promised you...I promised I wouldn't..."

She was heartbroken, and the tears she had been holding back finally spilled over her face.

"...But you...also promised me...that you and she...would be together forever..."

Ye Liuli's tears fell onto the girl's cold cheeks, freezing into ice before sliding down.

"You...liar. If she finds out, she won't let you off the hook either..."

The words of the black-haired girl

Her words were gentler than ever before, as if she were still the same gentle and charming girl next door.

She spent a considerable amount of time tidying up Lingxi's appearance.

Her tattered nun's habit barely concealed her wounds that would never heal, and her disheveled blonde hair was carefully combed neatly.

Ye Liuli thought to herself that at least, her reclusive status should be somewhat dignified.

"But we promised to stay together forever."

"So... let's go home."

...

The group embarked on the final, short leg of their journey.

"Waaaaah... Mother Queen..."

Lochina sobbed as she held the fragment of her mother's original body. Ludwig, afraid that she might accidentally drop it, took the fragment from her hands and handed it to the reliable Rucoco for safekeeping.

Only when she touched the shard of the Holy Grail did Ludwig truly feel it—

Princess Lingxi is no longer alive.

Just hours ago, she was bickering with Ludwig without any hesitation, but now, she was just a cold corpse held in Ye Liuli's arms.

Once the physical body shatters, the spirit is destined to vanish into nothingness.

Even though she is a spirit with a soul, the soul attached to her will only be scattered and destroyed the moment her body shatters.

Despite the many unpleasant experiences she had with Lingxi, she was still a princess who had shown kindness to Ludwig.

“Lingxi…”

Ludwig caressed the last fragment in her hand, then solemnly handed it to Rokoko.

...

After the vampire queen, the vampire princess also left the vampire throne.

The vampires will be like headless flies, crashing and bleeding in the cruel and turbulent human world.

To save the vampire clan, Ludwig's only option at this moment is to continue this unpaid "mediation commission" and bring back the mysteriously missing vampire queen...

Or perhaps, she herself would become queen.
