The Great Vampire General is a Girl! - Chapter 49
When Raphael arrived to lend a helping hand along with some of the other Florentian knights—Valerie thought everything would be fine. Although not part of the elite Jaguar knights, they were still well-trained pure-blood vampires. It was just that they mostly work in Lapella. So that tense and life-threatening situations like this were not often experienced by them.
Lapella was a peaceful state. Both Florentia and Avalon were reluctant to make a fuss there. There were currently around seven uniformed Florentian knights blocking Lust—a skinny Monster Shadows with long, stiff hair that reached down to his waist. Lust roared. The corners of his eyes continued to search for Valerie’s whereabouts.
The girl was now back on the ground with her beautiful bare feet and was running to get back into the club. Back in her past life, she remembered that Florentia’s knights found the secret dungeon empty. There were only a few tools and cages and iron chains. Some were dyed with molten silver so there was a guess that it was to restrain vampires.
They used to do that to Shadows. But seeing how tight and strong the security was it didn’t seem like ordinary Shadows were being held captive there. In the past, there was a big explosion in the club which resulted in many casualties.
When the Florentian knights came, the dungeon and the entire cage were empty. But history this time was different. No explosion. There were only Shadows monsters twice as big as ordinary Shadows. In addition they were much stronger, faster and could talk.
Valerie had to be careful. She didn’t want history to deviate any worse than she knew. The girl felt uncomfortable because she had jumped into the gaping hole from Shadows’ previous attack. She stepped on the damp and mossy stone floor. It was a common thing she encountered in dungeons.
But she smelled disgusting bat and mouse droppings and animal urine there. Who would have guessed that the luxury club had a squalid room underneath? Valerie saw several bodies of people who had fallen into the hole. They’re vampires. They couldn’t possibly die that easily just from falling. Something kills them when they were helpless.
Valerie approached one of the women’s bodies, and took off her shoes. Valerie broke her high heels and made them into comfortable flat shoes. She then put it on. a little too small for her, but at least she didn’t have to worry about slipping on the bat droppings.
She then unsheathed Apollon.
“Valerie!” Raphael called out to her.
“What are you going to do?!”
“You take care of what’s out there, sir! I have my own mission here!” Valerie shouted.
“Hey!” Raphael really couldn’t keep up with the girl. Because Lust was now trying to crush his body. He hit the ground around Raphael. It turned out that the knights just weren’t strong enough to fight him. They weren’t dead yet, however, were exhausted and had visible bruises and broken bones on their bodies. It was not an injury that will heal quickly.
“You’re interrupting my date!” Lust looked emotional. He swung his long claws. Raphael flinched, he bent slightly with a stance. A long slash was created on his left thigh. That will make it easy to get distracted. But he was used to getting injured in war. The adrenaline rushing through his bloodstream—helping him reduce the pain.
He drew back Demetria.
“Dancing Woods!” He shouted as he scratched the ground beneath him.
Demetria was a cursed weapon that takes the name of the Goddess of fertility and agriculture. It could manipulate the ground, create local earthquakes and destroy anything that still contains the element of earth.
At this time, the small incision Raphael created expanded, once again the ground cracked and shook. But Lust didn’t seem too impressed. He wasn’t even willing to step aside. He chuckled. He wouldn’t be stuck with Raphael’s earthquake trick again. But now the logs of giant trees emerged from under the ground. The tree grew very fast and entangled the unwary Shadows.
“What’s this?” A furious roar escaped his mouth.
Lust was imprisoned, he tried to escape but it won’t happen easily. Raphael knew that sooner or later he would break free. This was a skill he used to snare a large enemy before he finished him. But Raphael knew that he still had a few minutes to question him.
Raphael leapt and climbed his tree nimbly until he came to eye level with the Shadows. He then drew his Demetria which had a golden brown hilt just inches from his eye.
“Who are you? How can Shadows talk?” Raphael asked angrily.
If more creatures like them appeared in the world, the vampires and humans would be threatened. Raphael needed to know more about them before he had to kill him.
“Khu Khu Khu, we are the strongest vampires, we are here to gather our brothers,” he said in a mysterious tone.
“How many more are like you?”
“Hmm? You’ll see them in a minute,”
“What?” Raphael looked confused.
Then a huge explosion sounded from the basement. The club was nearly destroyed, and the ruins fell into a vast dungeon. It was only a matter of time before the building completely collapsed.
“Valerie!” Raphael gasped. He remembered that the girl was running into the basement.
“Khu Khu Khu, now you will see our brothers,”
Raphael jumped down and immediately ran after Valerie.
Meanwhile, Caesar was still busy with his fight against Glutton. He was a large Shadows like a giant gorilla with a distended stomach as if it was about to explode. His stinky breath still occasionally distracted Caesar.
He had cut off his arms and legs many times. And he could always recover quickly. It was impossible. But if he did graduate from the genius of Rutherford’s lab—that was possible. Caesar panted, his eyes not missing their target. This time he had to aim for the upper body.
“Already tired?”
“Why did you attack Lapella? Are you the Shadows who ran from Rutherford’s lab?” Caesar asked.
“You know him?”
“More than that, I’m his favourite commander,”
“I don’t think so, he didn’t tell you everything did he? The proof is that you looked surprised to see us?” Glutton smirked.
“Perhaps Rutherford didn’t think you were important,” Caesar sneered.
“Oh yes? But you can’t even really hurt me yet,” he laughs.
Caesar also assessed the monster. He could heal his wounds, even regrow all of his severed limbs.”
Caesar took a stance, he swung the Vulcan then sheathed it.
“Hmm? have you given up?” He laughed as he patted his stomach happily.
Then he ran as fast as lightning. With eyes fixed on the chest of the Shadows. His hand nimbly grabbed the hilt of his sword and he slashed it into his stomach and chest area.
“Immortal Fire!” he shouted. Then a large incision was made across from the chest to the abdomen. His body was cut off. Even though Glutton had screamed in pain he was still smiling afterward.
“It’s a waste, since I have the fastest regeneration of all vampires, I—” he was no longer able to speak.
His entire incision was now burning with a blazing dark fire. He was in pain.
Caesar sheathed his Vulcan sword back and glared at him haughtily.
“Try to deal with that, ugly monster. It’s an eternal flame…your body’s regeneration ability will be in vain against it,” said Caesar as he watched Glutton’s body fall to the ground as the flames slowly devoured his body from within.
