Taming My Vampire Servant - Chapter 189

When Volcius saw his Master fall down, he also saw that Sigmund attempted to follow them. So he casted an Earth-Fire type of spell, which summoned a blazing wall and blocked Sigmund’s sight.

“Darn it, you want the two of us to fight?” Sigmund asked, and the Golem Servant, who was already ready to charge, ran towards him.

The two Servants clashed with each other within the burning forest. They fought each other using magic mixed with close combat. The two already stopped caring about the amount of mana that will be left of them, because they knew that the outcome of the battle would be up to their Masters, who both fell down the cliff!

While falling down, the magic rod slipped from Ivory’s hand, but she did not give up! She reached for Lucius’ arm first and grabbed his shoulders tightly, and Lucius did the same. They did it at the exact same time, making them both surprised.

“You are indeed my sister, Ivory. Seems like you’re not giving up that easily,” Lucius grinned. He was actually pleased that despite the landslide, she was still serious about winning. Using Fire-type mana as fuel, Lucius accelerated his body, and switched places with Ivory.

Ivory just stared at him without saying anything.

Just when Lucius thought that Ivory had accepted her defeat, her light blue irises glowed even more!

The Silverblade mana she used healed all of her wounds and bruises. Seeing Lucius startled with the sudden recovery of her willpower. Seeing Lucius startled with how she recovered from her almost defeat, Ivory didn’t waste any second and casted intense Air magic in the form of wind. It dissipated Lucius’ fire. At the same time, she was able to switch places with him again.

Lucius knew he was no match for Ivory’s extraordinary mana. He tried countering it by casting a Fire spell, but it was no use. Her grip on his shoulders was too strong, and her strength was amplified by the support of the wind she was using!

Seconds later, Lucius’ back hit the quagmire. But because Ivory could not instantly stop the force of her mana, she also dropped with him!

As Educator Heidi saw the two of them fully submerged into the quagmire, she and her Golem Servant stop casting the terrain spell.

The crowd went noisy. They saw how the two Masters struggled to switch places midair. Each one of them had their own favorites, so they yelled out different names!

When the terrain returned to its initial appearance, Ivory and Lucius laid down on the empty stage, panting hard because of the tiredness they felt. They two had mud all over their body, as if they were clay figurines.

Ivory turned her head towards Lucius, and he also looked at Ivory. They smiled at each other with one thing in mind: finally, their intense battle was over.

The principal looked at the audience and announced, “The winner for the Blue Gem section is… Miss Ivory Sprucemint!”

The crowd cheered loudly after the announcement and clapped their hands for the intense and amazing fight. Many of them couldn’t believe that a random Master could beat the General’s son, whom they knew was a prodigy!

They wondered who the silver-haired Master was. They became more interested in her, and they looked forward to how she would compete with the other strong winners in the grand finals.

Sigmund and Volcius ran towards their Masters. While the Golem Servant turned into its inactive state beside Lucius, Sigmund carried Ivory in his arms.

The Vampire whispered to Ivory, “Looks like I have to clean you up.”

Ivory turned beet red, although nobody could see it because of the dirt in her face.

Lucius took the small Volcius and mentally thanked him, before he glanced at his sister and her Servant. “I thought I was going to win at that second. Good job, Ivory. You made our battle very exciting. Just seeing that you took the battle seriously meant a lot.”

“Of course, I’ve been looking forward to this day!” She gave a wide smile, then asked Sigmund to place her down, because she felt the strength on her legs coming back.

Since the battle had ended, the audience started to leave the venue. Ivory and the others went back to the resting area, and the Educators and the Principal congratulated Ivory. Moments later, General Darius Goldwine approached where they were, surprising them.

“Congratulations,” he uttered, gently patting their dirty heads. He then went in between them and whispered, “I am sure your mother will be proud of the both of you. When she returns, be sure to tell her about what happened today.”

Right when General Darius excused himself and left for a meeting, the Sprucemint family came running towards them.

“Congratulations, my dear!” Anne said in a high tone as she embraced her.

“Mother, I am full of mud! You’ll get dirty as well!”

Her foster mother pulled away and chuckled as she wiped some mud on Ivory’s cheeks.

“We’re proud of you, Ivory,” Gordon grinned, “I know you can do it!”

“Thank you, father!” she beamed.

“Sis, you stink!” Flynn commented while he pinched his own nose.

Gracie, on the other hand, kept on laughing at her sister.

While the Sprucemint family was happily speaking with Ivory, Principal Arthurdane stared at them from afar. He somewhat felt nostalgic as he remembered the first day of school of both Lucius and Ivory. He felt proud of them, especially Ivory, who was always in some sort of trouble in the past, including being almost expelled from the academy!

Moments later, one of his messengers came.

“Sir, I have received a scroll from the Land of Rosaria.”

The principal raised his brow, “From whom?”

“From Sir Levi,” he then handed over a scroll, which was wrapped with a string and stamped with a red wax seal.

He turned silent as he read it. According to Prince Levi, he had not yet seen his Servant, but he might return to the academy in four days.

“This is great, it’s just in time for the grand finals of the competition,” Principal Arthurdane muttered, smiling while he rolled the scroll and tied it using a string.

“Are you going to give a reply, sir?” the messenger asked.

“Yes. Tell him that I look forward to it.”

And so, the battles for the Blue Gem section officially ended, with Ivory Sprucemint declared as the winner.

Ivory and Lucius were told by the Educators that they could use the better bathing rooms found in the central building of Qawiun Academy compound.

While the Sprucemint family waited in the lobby, Lucius, Ivory, and Sigmund proceeded to the hallway of the bathing rooms, holding with them clean sets of casual clothes for them to change into.

Before Ivory and Sigmund went inside, Lucius pulled the Vampire’s arm, “Why are you also going in?”

“I am her Servant, and it is my duty to help my Master take a bath,” Sigmund grinned.

Ivory’s cheeks turned red as a tomato, “Sigmund, I told you I can clean myself…”

“No, you might miss some spots. I want you to be squeaky clean and fragrant.”

The blonde young man glared at him, “As her brother, I refuse! You stay outside,” he tugged his arm, hard enough to make him step backward.

“Fine!” Sigmund said. When he felt Lucius’ hand away from him, he opened the door for Ivory, then closed it. He leaned in front, “There. Happy now, Rich boy?”

Lucius gave him a suspicious look. “I don’t trust you!” He then placed Volcius at the side of the door. He stepped inside the room and shut the door.

Sigmund kept on glancing at Volcius, who currently seemed like a harmless figurine. “Are you really going to stop me, fella?”

There was no response.

“You know that my Master would also like it if I go in, right?”

Again, Volcius did not move or respond in any way.

“Tell your Master that I went to the lobby.”

With long strides, he walked in the hallway. When he found a large window at the side, he opened it and stepped out, then using Air magic, he made himself float.

Meanwhile, in Ivory’s bathing room, she had just taken off all of her dirty clothes and armor. She looked around and admired the classy interior of the bathroom. It had walls painted with white and wooden cabinets. It had a big rectangular mirror and chandelier to light up the room. Afterwards, she stepped towards the circular bathtub beside the double hung window.

“It will be nice if Gracie and Flynn would get to bathe in a nice room like this,” Ivory murmured to herself and gave a lonely smile.

When she saw that the water on the bathtub was enough, she submerged herself in it. Hardened mud that stuck onto her body was not washed out, turning the water from clear to muddy.

While she was humming a happy tune, a knock at the window startled her. She used a little Air magic to slide the curtain to the side, showing Sigmund, waving his hands.

Ivory’s cheeks turned red as a tomato. “Lucius said you should guard outside!”

Sigmund was amused when he saw Ivory’s reaction not matching her words. He then used Air magic to lift the window’s latch, sliding it towards the side, successfully opening the window!

The Vampire went inside of the bathing room and closed the window once again. He smirked at the naked Ivory and said, “Master… Allow me to clean you up.”

Seeing her lover removing his armor, Ivory couldn’t help but bite her lower lip.
