YM778.TV Chapter 297: HOW DARE YOU VAMPIRE QUEEN??
[Hmm?]
[He was already running late, Lilith.]
[....]
[....]
[Sigh, you don\'t understand, Adriana.]
[You know... I definitely will.]
[....]
Adriana and Lilith were currently engaged in a telepathic conversation, sitting inside a separate viewing block reserved for royalties. Lilith eagerly anticipated the upcoming fight, while Adriana sat beside her, fuming with anger.
Not because of Lilith\'s earlier beating... Well, maybe a little but more importantly Instead, her frustration stemmed from Lilith\'s actions when Eli urgently prepared to leave the house.
She sneaked in and.... seduced him (Even though he was her husband).
After that, only muffled moan sounds echoed from within the house.
Lilith glanced at Adriana, who looked at the ground with a disinterested expression.
[Once you get a taste, you won\'t be able to resist.]
Lilith remarked with a smug grin as she licked her lips hidden behind her veil.
Veins popped on Adriana\'s forehead, and a faint red hue appeared on her cheeks, only to vanish abruptly.
She was currently outside, obligated to maintain her \'Vampire Queen\' aura; otherwise, people might disregard her authority. Furthermore, her weak adversary, the King of Theos Kingdom, sat a little distance away.
Carter Theo and King Theo wore expressions of absolute shock, their faces seemingly enchanted by Adriana\'s presence.
Stay tuned to M|VL|EM|PY|R
\'No matter how many times I see her... her beauty always transcends everyone,\' Carter thought, struggling to avert his eyes from her.
Theo, like his father, was also struck by Adriana\'s beauty. It was his first time witnessing a beauty so profound... Merely gazing at Adriana\'s emotionless face could awaken something inside any man.
\'It\'s a pity she\'s a Fallen; if not...\' Both father and son thought simultaneously as they licked their unconscious desires.
"!!!!"
Suddenly, the duo flinched when Adriana\'s red eyes pointed toward them. They immediately turned their attention away, without uttering a word.
\'Tsk\' Adriana clicked her tongue with displeasure and asked, "What are you aiming for, Carter?"
Her tone was blunt, devoid of respect or any kind of emotion.
Carter\'s lips twitched, "Where is your respect, woman?" he sneered at her.
Adriana turned her head, looking at him and his son with indifferent eyes. "Are you stronger than me? If not I don\'t care" she asked with displeasure, noting how his son, who had ogled at her before, now hid behind his father. \'Coward...!\' she muttered inwardly.
Carter glared at Adriana and replied with a haughty face, "I may not be stronger, but I am wiser than any vulgar woman!"
Even though Carter was the king, he wasn\'t the strongest person in his kingdom. Many of his subordinates surpassed him in strength, yet he managed to retain his kingship for years.
Was it luck? No, he was a shrewd individual, employing any means necessary to achieve his goals.
Adriana didn\'t respond, not because she was taken aback by Carter\'s words, but because she believed it was a waste to engage in conversation with an individual so blinded by arrogance and.... he felt like an idiot.
Witnessing her subdued response, Carter gained a bit of courage. With a mocking smile, he spoke arrogantly, "Hehehe... I\'ve heard rumours that you are the true master of the Mythical Beast...
My Kingdom\'s Hero is far stronger than your disciple, I mean... It\'s natural after all, no one could win against a Hero no matter what... That\'s the will of the world!!
Why don\'t you give The Mythical Beast to me?
We can put an end to this fight right now, and we\'ll part ways amicably.
I\'ll even help clear your disciple\'s name in the matter of my brother\'s death.
If not... Your disciple was the one who going to suffer!!
What do you think?"
"..." Adriana frowned, puzzled by the term \'disciple\' She wondered why he was referring to Asher Eli as her disciple.
Without answering, Adriana dismissed the provocation. She wasn\'t willing to waste her energy on this insignificant background character. If she wished, she could eliminate these nuisances in a couple of chapters.
However, after killing the background character..... A pain in the ass would follow her: Sentinel. Dealing with the Sentinel of Theos Kingdom required more consideration.
Lilith, engrossed in her own thoughts, failed to notice the presence of the two beings beside her. Similarly, they were oblivious to her presence, given her invincible spell.
Carter\'s eyes twitched as he observed Adriana\'s nonchalant expression. He was about to provoke her further when...
\'Step\'
The room fell silent as a commanding figure made a deliberate entrance, each footfall echoing with significance.
\'Ba-Dump, Ba-Dump\'
The palpitations of Lilith\'s and Adriana\'s hearts seemed to synchronize as Asher Eli entered.
Not solely due to his handsomeness.... though that played a part, but more significantly because his demeanour had undergone a complete transformation.
His strides held a newfound confidence, a magnetic pull that captivated everyone. The air itself seemed to acknowledge his presence, carrying whispers of admiration.
He felt like a King.... of course, his lovers\' vivid imaginings painted him with regal allure.
Yet, Adriana\'s blood surged toward her head, a tumultuous cascade that left her slightly dizzy, as if caught in the whirlwind of her beloved\'s commanding presence.
Her cheeks, ignited by an inner flame, already burned with a blush.... Only she knew how much she longed for him even though she was avoiding meeting him.
"~Ara~Ara~"
She snapped out of her daze the moment she heard the familiar voice.
Lilith frowned at the sweet words, but she shrugged it off.
\'Tsk, those bitches. I told them not to attend this!!\' Frustration surged through Adriana as she noticed her subordinates hastily hiding from her view.
As the match commenced, the Head Master materialized on the higher platform, positioning himself in the midst of the two parties.
"I assume you are aware of the conditions, Mr. Carter Theo?" The Head Master inquired with a grave expression.
"....Tsk, I am the one who proposed these conditions; why would I forget, old man?" Carter responded with displeasure.
"Good." The Head Master acknowledged with a nod, unfazed by Carter\'s irritation.
He cast a glance at the vacant side; although he couldn\'t see her, he sensed his instincts screaming to run away from her. Controlling his flee urges, he stood there and led the Aadya to take care of the rest.
It was at that very moment when Kayden, with a mischievous grin, took a small crystal ball and..... played a video that sent shockwaves through the stadium.
\'FUCK!!!\' The Head Master\'s expletive-filled the air as he instinctively shielded himself and the two vulnerable individuals with a hastily conjured, high-level barrier, the magical force shimmering around them.
"BOOM!!!"
\'Shatter, Shatter\'
The detonation echoed through the air like a resounding exclamation, accompanied by the sharp chorus of shattering expectations.
Lilith\'s eyes widened in disbelief and rage as she observed her husband being unfairly cornered and forcibly drawn into the fray by everyone present. The Hero employed an underhanded technique, resulting in her husband\'s face being cruelly disfigured. Meanwhile, the crowd, seemingly oblivious to the injustice, jubilantly clamoured for justice.
With a blank expression, Lilith slowly raised her finger, the ethereal glow reflecting the turmoil within her sky-blue eyes. Her gaze was fixated solely on the green-haired boy, Kayden, who appeared frozen in time,
\'How dare you? How dare you? How dare you?.....
HOW DARE YOU HURT MY HUSBAND!!!\' She screamed inwardly.
A small black mist materialized near Kayden\'s feet, its ominous presence sending shivers through the onlookers..... Soon, eerie dark skeletal fingers emerged from the mist, reaching menacingly towards the immobilized figure.
Just as the fingers were about to make contact with Kayden\'s body,
"CLAP!!"
The Clapping sound echoed, reverberating around the stadium.
Suddenly, those ominous fingers vanished without a trace, and the dark mana that had erupted from the platform dissipated as if it had never been, leaving an uneasy calm in its wake.
\'Thud\'
"-Huff-Huff-"
Kayden crumpled to the ground, panting heavily, his eyes wide as if he had just glimpsed his own demise.... a fear not of transient death, but of the genuine and irreversible end.
For Transcendents, death was a mere inconvenience. From the very moment they ascended to Transcendence, they immersed themselves in rigorous training, purposefully cultivating the resilience to confront the fear of death knowing that, ultimately, they would revive.
Thus, in the throes of intense battles, they could unleash the full extent of their powers without the nagging worry of mortality weighing them down.
Yet, Kayden now truly faced his death, and a shiver of fear gripped him.
\'Cough, Cough\'
He coughed up blood, crimson droplets staining the ground, while tears of blood flowed from his eyes, marking the intensity of his physical and emotional torment.
Aadya, who had been overseeing the duel, materialized instantly before Kayden. In a swift and urgent motion, she summoned the prepared medical teams, ensuring their immediate attendance.
Asher Eli\'s gaze lingered on the dedicated healers working on Kayden\'s internal injuries.
\'The duel ended already....ah. What a waste.... Here I was thinking I could use \'this Hero\' as a punching bag.... Sigh... Life is truly mysterious man\' He thought.
If not for Eli\'s abrupt intervention, Kayden might have already succumbed. His eyes shifted to the upper platform block, scrutinizing the shattered glasses that revealed the figures within.
Inside,
Adriana held her hand suspended in mid-air as if reaching out to someone.
Eli understood Adriana\'s intent. He glanced beside her and saw the vacant spot.
His eyes remained fixed on the empty space until a furious voice pierced the air,
"HOW DARE YOU, VAMPIRE QUEEN?"
Eli turned to behold a middle-aged man with silver hair and yellow eyes, his gaze ablaze with fury as he glared at Adriana.
Adriana glared at him as her eyes shone a bit making Carter step back.
The anger wasn\'t confined to Lilith alone; Adriana herself simmered with rage, though she adeptly maintained control over her emotions.
What\'s more, on another platform, his two sisters, his maid, and his cat were blocked by Mariel, who sensed their intention to interfere in the duel.
Calming down, Adriana simply shrugged, maintaining her composed facade, "It\'s just a duel, and you have to fight... not play a video!"
Her voice echoed with authority as if her words were the final decree.
Carter gritted his teeth and directed his frustration at the silent Head Master.
"Is this how the Head Master of Nex Academia acts?" he demanded, anger seeping into his tone.
.....
\'K-King is there, isn\'t she?\' Adriana\'s subordinates muttered among themselves, recognizing the Pure Dark Maisama.
\'Fuck!\'
\'What in the world King is doing here?\'
Adriana\'s subordinates were taken aback by the presence of Lilith.
It wasn\'t just Adriana\'s subordinates; the person who intimately understood this feeling was..... Luna Dawn.
Luna clutched Marie\'s hand, and Marie cast a concerned glance at Luna, who trembled.
Marie, thinking of Luna as a saintess, believed her fear stemmed from the Vampire Queen\'s Dark Mana. Trying to offer comfort, she patted Luna\'s back.
Contrary to Marie\'s assumption,
\'S-She will kill me if she knew I-I slapped her husband, R-Right?\' Luna thought, the lingering fear refusing to dissipate.
Luna may not have known exactly what Eli\'s wife was, but she felt she was more dangerous than anyone she had encountered..... stronger even than sentinels.
There was no way that mighty figure would kill her for a single slap to the husband, right?
\'I-I mean, he was the one who came after me!\' Luna attempted to justify herself, \'Yes, I was trying to protect myself, Yup!\'
If Lilith were to hear those thoughts, Luna\'s fate would be sealed, for in Lilith\'s eyes, Asher Eli, her husband would never pursue any woman.
