Reincarnated Vampire Princess and Former Hero, Trample Over Mankind - CH 7

Vampire Queen and the Deadly Force

AN: I forgot to set the posting time, seriously sorry (on my knees).

This time it is from the mother’s point of view.

TN: Term change, Vampire King/Queen → Vampire Lord.

「《Hell’s Lightning》!」

「《Enchantment Lightning Resist》!」

「《Heavenly Flame》!」

「《Flame Barrier》!」

The attack was so fierce that it took me so long to even breathe, but I was able to prevent it with the experience and magic I had cultivated over 100 years of my life.

I let my beloved daughter, Lean, escape. At her speed, she was probably already out of this man’s magical senses.

…So I was wondering if I could escape too if I had the chance… I guess I can’t.

This guy is too strong. In case you’re wondering, I was called the strongest shield of the vampire race, but I’m not so sure.

I just barely holding my right now, but at any moment, the multiple wards could be destroyed.

「Ugh… Poor…! To be born a vampire with such a gift, and yet to have this power because of a belief in someone other than Misery-sama!」

「…Shut up, fanatic.」

As I spat at him, I fired a Holy Ray, one of the few offensive magic of the priest occupation, in return, but it was easily blocked by another magic.

「So much magic, the technique you just showed… Ugh, you are a『High Priest』, the higher rank of priest! Aha, with such a gift, why did you not have faith in the Misery-sama…!」

The『High Priest』is an advanced occupation that can only be opened to those who have mastered the Priest, Enchanter, and Warding Master.

It has the highest level of support capability of all occupations, giving it specialized power to defend, purify, and strengthen allies.

「Ugh…however, it is not easy to understand… However she may be a High Priest, I never thought she could prevent my magic so well…」

「…I wonder why.」

…The answer is simple.

Just before approaching this forest…a voice echoed directly into my head.

《Certain conditions have been met. You have completed the evolution of your race into the Vampire Lord.》

What do these words mean?

Two Vampire Lords can never appear at the same time.

And since it is an『Evolution』, it cannot degenerate in the process.

In other words.

Razor, my husband, is dead.

So the power of the『Vampire Lord』has been transferred to me, and I am now more powerful than ever.

And I have been able to endure this long because I have used almost all of that power on『defense』and『evasion』.

But that will soon reach its limit.

I had been blocking his magic for more than 1 hour, and my magical power was already running out.

The amount of magic output and magic power far exceeds even the magic boosted by the power of the『Vampire Lord』…Who is this guy really?

First, this man called himself《The Twelve Holy Apostles》. Perhaps, he is an elite-class opponent among humans.

Perhaps the《High Magician》, an advanced position in the magician occupation. Moreover, he is a super-attack type, mainly using the fire and lighting attributes.

I should be a good match for him, but the difference in ability is hurting me.

And finally.

The man’s magic pierced through my warding.

「Gghgg…!」

「Ugh…! The end, the end! Aha, how cruel the world is… to have to slaughter such a beautiful woman like you!」

Oh, I agree with that.

Truly, the world is cruel.

Why do we have to… Why should we have to go through this just because we are vampires?

Are humans, the goddess Misery, so great? Are they so righteous?

(……When I get over there, please let me know, Isuzu-sama.)

I have many regrets.

The first, of course, is that I will not be able to watch my beloved daughter, Lean, grow up anymore.

She had so much talent that even I, who was once hailed as a genius, could easily surpass me.

I wonder how she will grow up… I was looking forward to it.

「Ugh…! Please pray that you will be born a human being in your next life…」

Don’t joke. I’m not going to be like you guys.

「Noin, the sixth in the order of《The Twelve Holy Apostles》, the『Wail of the Devil』, is… Let me give you your guide!」

The man who called himself so activated his magic the next moment.

What was released was《Explode》. This is a magic that combines multiple attributes and has the highest destructive power among all magic.

I, wounded to the bone, had no way to block it.

Lean. My little girl.

I want you to survive.

I know it’s hard for you. I think you are sad. I know you are crying right now.

But you must live.

I am sure you have the power to accomplish great things.

Don’t ever give up and don’t break no matter what.

I will always be watching over you.

And then, a red flash covered my vision.

「Noin. It’s been a long time, what’s wrong?」

「Oh, Edith-sama…! Ugh, something very sad has happened!」

「…You are always sad about something. So what is it?」

「That’s the thing! Among the vampires was a very gifted and talented High Priest… And I slaughtered it with my own hands! Alas, sad…」

「That would be our mission this time. Well, mission accomplished, the vampires are now eradicated. Go back to your home countries…」

「…That’s the thing… Apparently, we failed in our mission…ugh…」

「What? What do you mean? I want you to explain.」

「Actually… The High Priest I told you about earlier, a young girl who looked like her daughter, escaped deep into the forest and…! Her mother’s magic prevented me from transferring, and I was unable to pursue her… Ughhhh, I’m so sorry…」

「What did you say? Well, one alone cannot reproduce, and if it is young, it will die of starvation or be eaten by a beast. No problem.」

「Oh, thank you for saying so…!」

AN: Now I’m looking forward to beating those two to death.
