Taming My Vampire Servant - Chapter 218
-continuation from chapter 215-
The armored man continued to walk towards his son, who seemed too afraid and weak to move. He came late because he spoke too long with his wife. He also made sure that she wouldn’t escape by making a strong barrier at the stairway entrance.
Levi glared at the head of the metal helm, “King Yama. You’ve finally appeared.”
Behind King Yama were Royal Knights and some knights, who pledged to protect the Dragonicus royal family.
The King stared at Levi for so long, before he recognized him and said, “Look what we have here… it’s the late king’s son! You even had some weak-looking allies and the Silverblade pets with you,” he looked around and observed Levi’s allies, who were all cautious upon his arrival.
Levi and his companions were alert as they only glared back at the King.
“It’s too obvious that your family is favored by the Goddess,” seeing some of the Werewolves in their wolf forms, he asked, “So… which one of them is your Servant?”
“Take a guess,” Prince Levian responded. He then raised his hand and pointed to the King’s direction. Seeing the Silverblade prince’s instruction, they all charged at him.
King Yama swiftly materialized his level 3 weapon, which was a four-claw steel sword with a detailed dragon’s head at the end of the grip. The blade appeared to have dragon scales on it.
As Levi, the other Werewolves, and their other comrades fought with King Yama and his castlemen, Ivory stayed in human form and moved the tip of her magic rod on Prince Jaquin’s nose.
“Don’t move, or I’ll either burn your hair or cut your nose,” she warned.
Jaquin looked away from Ivory and Jirou, and glanced at the side to see how his father and their allies were doing. When he saved Jirou from dying two years ago, King Yama mentioned that he did it because he couldn’t bear to lose them both, and the intense battle was merely a challenge for them to be competitive towards one another.
Jirou hopped down his golden dragon and walked behind Ivory, distracting his brother’s thoughts.
When Jaquin saw his older brother on the same ground as him, he pleaded with him to save him.
But Jirou only glared at his younger brother and said, “Why will I save a person who tried to kill me in the past?”
“You traitor!”
“You changed your mind too fast. A second you asked for my help, and after a second, you got mad at me. You fool,” Jirou then patted Ivory’s shoulder, “You may punish him as you wish.”
Ivory, knowing that Jirou’s suggestion was also Prince Levian’s wish, started casting a spell. A blinding light shone, and when she pushed the white-orbed side of her staff, Jaquin’s nose was cut off!
“Gaaaaahhhh!” the wounded prince could only yell in pain while his own blood dripped from his face.
Hearing his loud scream, King Yama immediately shoved away all those who were blocking his way and ran to his youngest son.
“How dare you hurt my son!” He then gripped his sword tightly and charged at them. Ivory was able to block him, thanks to his heavy armor making him thrice as slow. She detached her magic staff into two and crossed her arms to block him.
With full force, Ivory pushed him away. The king stumbled backwards, and Ivory threw a whirling ball of wind with sharp surfaces.
The wind ball was incorporated with an extra mixture of Silverblade mana. As soon as it reached King Yama’s plackart, it broke the metal suit into pieces, leaving only his helm intact!
King Yama removed his helm. He widened his eyes at the sight of his expensive armor on the ground. He remembered it to be magic proof, but how did the silver-haired woman break it?
“Who are you?” he asked as he watched her approaching.
“I am Prince Levian’s Werewolf Servant,” Ivory responded.
“But how did you-” King Yama paused when he saw the luminous pearl on her forehead, “That pearl is only for humans… How come a Servant like you can hold onto it?”
“I am special,” she replied, before attaching her magic staff into one piece again.
Jaquin, seeing Jirou distracted and staring at the woman he loved, formed a dagger made of hardened soil using his hand hidden behind him.
When he was about to throw it towards Ivory’s back, Jirou saw his suspicious movement. Because of his instinct of protecting Ivory, he casted a powerful spell that started burning Jaquin’s whole body!
The prince’s loud scream echoed in the hallway and the garden as he was being burnt alive. He hoped for Jirou to change his mind, but it only disappointed him. Jirou never casted a Water spell to remove the flames on Jaquin and just watched him fall to the ground, his skin slowly turned into charcoal and the metallic scent of his burning flesh could be smelled in the air.
King Yama felt his chest tighten when he saw Jaquin getting burned, and he knew his time would come soon. Drakeena already lost two of her tails, and Jirou, who got stronger with her last tail, was not even his ally anymore.
He felt too weakened, especially when his younger son died seconds later. It was as if the heavens were draining his mana.
“The throne will go back to its rightful heir,” Ivory told him, “But my benevolent Master can give you a chance to live. If you can unsummon your Servant and be a normal human and a commoner-”
“No! No way in hell!” he gritted his teeth in anger. He didn’t want to lose both his power in the kingdom, and also his beloved dragon Nymph Servant.
“Very well, if that’s what you chose…”
Raising her magic staff, Ivory formed a ball of fire above her. It became bigger and bigger, and as it did, more colors were added, like blue, brown, and white.
The threatened King Yama widened his eyes on the huge ball which was merged with all four elements. What a miserable way to die! He didn’t expect that kind of powerful spell to cause his demise!
Ivory then smashed the magic staff onto King Yama’s head!
But there was an explosion during that contact, and dust momentarily covered the air!
When the air became clearer, they were all shocked to see a woman over the king, embracing him.. The intensity of the spell made her back severely incinerated, and the Dragonicus King screamed in remorse and misery.
