The Great Vampire General is a Girl! - Chapter 48

Valerie ran with the clubgoers who panicked in fear. They were usually nobles. They never saw Shadows apart from the news and the soldiers’ stories. They were the weapons of the Avalons and were never released in a crowded civilian vampire settlement.

Screams sounded boisterous, Valerie hardly focused because some people didn’t care about crashing into other people’s bodies. They were vampires so their touch was powerful. It ran fast. Valerie struggled to separate herself from the commotion and hid behind a large cupboard filled with ceramic displays engraved with dragons. She just needed to disappear from Caesar’s sight while she kept an eye on the situation.

Valerie had not been able to reveal herself as Valor. Let alone using a cursed weapon in front of Caesar. She was worried about the future of her family. In addition, her commander Raphael also made it clear that she should not carelessly display her power.

But the situation before her eyes right now was so bad. Those Shadows, perhaps not as large as the ones she had encountered in the Taverin war. There were currently two Shadows. The one who attacked Caesar was a big tall man with a distended stomach. His arms were long, barely touching the floor and covered with rough brown hair that looked itchy. His face resembled a hairless tiger and his nose stuck inward as if a large mountain rock squeezed his face.

His fangs were sharp and when he opened his mouth, there was an unpleasant odor. Even though Valerie was quite far from him.

Other shadows were smaller in stature and equally long sleeved. But he was very fast. He was now hitting the floor rapidly and forcefully over and over again. His punch barely caught the eye. A big hole was created. Then there was a rumbling.

The floor collapsed, leaving a huge gaping hole. Then the Shadows entered it. Valerie suspected it was Avalon’s secret dungeon which she had suspected was in this club. She was just about to confirm it with Caesar but the shadows had already dismantled it.

Valerie might have to catch up, she was worried that Shadows would do something bad. They looked different. As if they were not controlled by Avalon. It seemed so because Caesar looked surprised to see them. He was still fighting those potbellied Shadows. Now the monster laughed as he showed his arm to Caesar.

A disturbing sound like suction rang out from his hand. Slime oozed from the cut marks and new hands grew from it like lizards. That was surprising. Valerie didn’t think the Shadows could do that.

“Lady Valerie! Why are you still here? Go!” Caesar reigned.

Valerie, who woke up, turned around to run away. She had to seek reinforcements. She had already informed Raphael about this but she doubted that the man would catch up with her. He travels a lot so he probably hasn’t read the message at all.

Valerie crouched down again, looking for a safer place to hide. She dodged Caesar’s eye and reached into something under her dress. A short dagger with ancient Latin inscriptions was in her hand now. His aura spread out ready for action.

The girl lifted her dress which was quite troublesome and was about to go down the big hole. She knew it was dangerous but she couldn’t wait for help to arrive.

“Little girl, what are you doing here? Not running like the others?” A hoarse voice rang in her ears. It was as if she was watching a horror show. Other Shadows appeared almost silently. He was different from the others and he could talk!

Valerie gasped. She failed to use Apollon. She hid it again and got goosebumps as the monster’s hand gripped her leg.

“Let go!” Valerie kicked. His hand was blown away.

“Hmm? For a girl’s size, you’re very strong..hahaha, well you will be my wife. My name is Lust, a vampire like you. You’d love to stay with me,” he chuckles.

“What? Go away!!” Valerie jumped away and ran away from him. But it did not last long. Because Lust were Shadows who were stronger than the average vampire. He grabbed her leg again and the girl fell. She hit her head and she was a little dizzy for a while.

Damn dress. If only Valerie had worn her knight outfit, she would have been able to move more freely. But that was no excuse. If Raphael heard her complain, she would definitely be scolded. Weakness was weakness. Valerie couldn’t blame the circumstances for her weakness.

Valerie tore off her dress and took off her shoes to make it easier for her to run.

“Oh, how naughty. You can’t wait to play with me, pretty girl?” Lust spoke with a disgusting grin.

He was Shadows of thin build and long hair. He was tall, maybe three meters tall. His lips were pulled up and his eyes were small. He reminded Valerie of a sloth. But he was neither sweet nor slow.

Valerie had to take Lust away. She also used her proud running speed to try to lure him out of the building. Valerie ran and kept running. She didn’t care if shards of glass and wood hurt her smooth palms. It will heal later, no time to worry about scars.

“I caught you. You’re so fast, sweetie,” Lust chuckled, clutching her ankle. At that time Valerie was just about to climb the roof of the club. How could it be? He caught Valerie that easily? What kind of shadows are they?

“Get your hands off lady Valerie!” Caesar shouted as he slashed Vulcan at him. A major damage occurred. He cut off his right leg. He staggered and let go of Valerie.

“Oh my gosh, why are you interrupting my date?” Lust complained. His gaze turned angry. Then just like what happened to the potbellied Shadows earlier—his legs grew back fast. He then grabbed the piece of his leg and smirked. He swung it like a club and swiftly struck Caesar.

“Ugh!”

Caesar bounced. He coughed, a few drops of blood dripping from his lips. He wiped it and got into an attacking stance. His eyes were tough. Valerie was still on the roof of the club. He felt that no matter how tough Caesar was, he couldn’t face the two Shadows monsters alone.

“Our fight isn’t over yet! Glutton still wants to play before it eats you!” The bloated monster chased after Petrovsky. Caesar had no other choice but to face him. Meanwhile, Lust was after Valerie again.

“Well, little girl, come here. Lust will love you,”

“Oh my gosh! You’re so disgusting!” Valerie threw the shards of tiles at him. Without Apollon, she would not be able to survive.

“Get rid of your dirty hands!” An explosion was created. The ground beneath them shook and a huge hole was created there which engulfed Lust. But he managed to survive using one hand. He was not buried underground. Shadows named Lust jumped back to the surface with angry looks.

“Who’s interrupting my date?” Shouted lust annoyed.

“Valerie, isn’t it enough just having an affair with Caesar now you’re having an affair with that creature?” Said Raphael Chastain who was present at the location like a hero.

“No way!” Valerie shouted annoyed. She was now busy covering her legs which were slightly exposed because her dress was torn.

“Why are you here? I don’t need your help!” Caesar, who now has a bruise on his left eye shouted.

“Who’s going to help you? I’m here to save Valerie, my fiancé.. Did you hear that Petrovsky? My fi-an-cé,” Raphael emphasized in an annoyed tone.
