Taming My Vampire Servant - Chapter 227
Everyone watched the broken family’s drama. The revelation of Fiona’s situation shocked all, especially Ghidarlgh.
“Is it true? Lyria… did you really-”
“Fiona will understand, dear,” the half-goddess justified, raising her voice, “At least her body can experience having mana. That’s her frustration, being born as a pure mortal. She took after you, so you understood, right? Isn’t that why I made the unholy mana, to satisfy you and your greediness?!”
Ghidarlgh felt conflicted. He knew she was only telling the truth.
Their conversion ended when the executioner raised his hand, “Let us proceed with the execution!” and one of his assistants blew the horn. The executioner cleared his throat and continued reading the violation report of Xenos and Lucius against him, “Ghidarlgh Menas, you fooled everyone that you are the destined Oracle. You conspired with ex-messenger Lyria to bring chaos upon the kingdom.”
There was indistinct chatter among the people, while the bald man felt his knees getting numb.
Ghidarlgh closed his eyes when he saw the executioner’s spear move.
But unexpectedly, Lyria broke away from the strong mana barrier and destroyed his cage. Being a half goddess, Lyria was still powerful, and her anger made her even more remorseless.
The half-goddess pushed away everyone near her husband, making them fly towards the walls and hit their bodies on the hard surfaces. Seeing the crowd disperse, she then went towards kneeling Ghidarlgh at the center, then broke his cuffs and chains.
Lyria then raised her hand to the direction of Helios’ cage. But when she released a powerful ball of mana, Levi and Ivory blocked it using the Silverblade mana, sending it flying to the sky’s direction.
Lyria clenched her fists. Then, as if a lightbulb had lit above her head, she looked at Sigmund, who was standing beside Ivory. She pointed at the Vampire, and at the tip of her finger was a fine line that seemed like a black smoke which extended towards Sigmund.
Unexpectedly, the string of Dark Mana couldn’t affect him for some reason, and the half-goddess didn’t know why it couldn’t reach the Vampire.
Realizing that it was futile, she changed her focus on Ivory, and she successfully attached the line of black smoke to her heart!
Sigmund, Levi, and Lucius walked all at once towards Ivory, trying to break the connection. But even though they attacked it with weapons and magic, it was no use. Dark Mana kept on being inserted inside of her through her heart.
Ivory trembled and felt like her stomach’s turning inside out. She closed her eyes, trying to endure the intense pain in her body.
“You think only Destinia’s mana can make someone’s power asleep? Aren’t you all forgetting that I am still a goddess, although not entirely…” Lyria stopped giving her Dark Mana, when the black stone on her anklet broke into pieces. “This woman is my last gamble.”
Ivory screamed until she became unconscious. She was caught by Sigmund before she fell on the ground.
But when she opened her eyes, they were blank. Upon seeing her beloved’s face, she pushed him away, then hastily went to Lyria and Ghidarlgh, guarding them.
Lyria laughed hysterically. “Oh benevolent prince, heed my request. Release my son as well, before I let your Servant go!” They tried to get near her, but she grabbed Ivory’s neck. “Don’t you dare!”
They all stepped back, and the silence made Levian, Lucius, and Sigmund think about the magic spell that Lyria did.
The incident in the Silverblade Castle might have been done by Lyria all along.
Sigmund’s crimson red irises glowed as he felt anger with what Lyria did to his lover. “You did this to me years ago, didn’t you?!” he yelled, annoyed with Lyria’s smug face.
“What’s the use of knowing what happened in the past? You can’t do anything about it. You killed hundreds with that body of yours, and it’s irreversible!” Lyria retorted.
“In my Master’s womb was her child born with both the evil and the good mana, and I consumed the evil mana flowing in her blood… You knew this would happen, and took the chance to fool me by taking away most of my important memories… Perhaps my Master and I already knew about the origin of the Unholy or Dark Mana!”
Sigmund suspected it was the reason why Ivory saw his and Deshanna’s names in the Precious Inn’s registration scroll in Topazeon town.
Lyria got impatient that they had no plan of releasing his son from the anti-mana cage. She let go of ivory’s neck, then told her, “Now, Ivory. Why don’t you finish off your Master? Remember that he fooled you and made you forget your lover. Isn’t he a cruel one?”
Because only the Dark Mana was flowing inside of her, Ivory’s emotions were unstable, and so she felt the betrayal of Levi. She materialized her two-orbed staff, and the black orb shone red light.
“Unfortunately, you won’t be able to become king, Levian,” mocked Lyria.
Ivory pointed her glowing staff to her Master, but when she finally bursted out a Fire elemental spell, Lucius blocked her!
Mastering the Fire element, he absorbed her fire attack and was unscathed. Lucius warned his sister, “Ivory, wake up! Don’t listen to her. She’s just getting you all riled up!”
But then Ivory replied, “No, Lucius… It’s true… Prince Levian, my father Wolfram, and my mother Diana… they all betrayed me…” tears fell from her lifeless eyes, before she detached her staff into two, “Prince Levian, I do not care if you’re my Master, or if you’re the future King… I will take my revenge!” She then lunged forward toward them.
Just in time, Lucius materialized his sword. If his opponent wasn’t Ivory, he would have made Volcius in its active state. However, he was afraid that she’d be badly hurt.
Ivory formed her rods in an X position, trapping Lucius’s blazing sword on it while she pushed him away, “Lucius… You’re not my target. Get lost!”
Lucius’ feet moved back a little. He yelled, “Sigmund, get Lyria!” the Goldwine heir suspected that he’s immune to the half-goddess’ control.
And when the Vampire charged towards Lyria, Ivory immediately stepped back, then followed him from behind!
