Luis raised his sword and decapitated Nyxia's head from her body. Nyxia's body stayed still for a few seconds before losing its strength. And a few seconds later, her body slowly began to turn into ash.
"Ahahahaha!" Luis raised his sword once again and turned to everyone. "Luis Alucard will show everyone who is the strongest! Come now, my fellow kings and monarchs, we have a war to win!"
"Wait… this seems wrong for some reason. Nyxia was killed so easily…" one of the kings muttered.
"Hah?!" Luis turned to the king and shouted, "Are you saying that this device was just for the show?!"
"I am not. But this was too easy, don't you think?"
"So what if it was?""
"If we think about it…" someone else spoke. "You killed Nyxia in a cowardly way. You didn't fight her head to head. It was just like killing a baby who couldn't do anything."
Luis glared at them and said, "So what? What matters is that they are dead! And how many newborns do you think I have killed?! More than you can imagine! And don't act like you all are saints. You all killed newborns with me.
We were all in this together! We all were afraid that the new incarnation of the Lord would be born, and thus, the ones who were born on the night of supposed-incarnation night, we killed all of them and their families.
Except… from the Orion Heart Kingdom. And guess what happened? They have the Lord's incarnation. We should have waged war against them a long time ago! If we had, the cursed child wouldn't have been born. The Lord's incarnation wouldn't have survived! And we only would have had to worry about two thorns in our way— Nyxia and Virgil."
"Nyxia is dead now, though."
"Yeah! So now we only have to worry about Virgil and the cursed child. The Monarch of the right continent will attack the Orion Heart kingdom from the right with the kings and all their troops. The Monarch of the left will attack them from the left with all the kings of the kingdoms and use all of their forces.
And I… Luis Alucard, the rightful king of half of the vampire world… will go straight. I will challenge Virgil, so you don't have to worry about a single thing.
Listen, the Orion Heart kingdom doesn't have that many troops, and if they divide them into three parties, they will be even fewer. The cursed child might join the war from one side, and Virgil will join another. But who will defend the third side?
No one! We have already won this war, my brothers! All we have to do is kill everyone who stands in our path!"
"But how do you plan to kill Virgil? You already use that device on Nyxia."
"It doesn't matter. That device was made for Nyxia and Virgil. Even if I had used it on Virgil and killed him, we would still have to find Nyxia and kill her to avoid any possible hurdles in our way.
We just took care of Nyxia first. Nothing else had changed. And I already know how I will defeat Virgil; if he learns about his mother's death, he will surely be sad, and I will choose that moment to strike!
Sadly. I can't take Nyxia's head as a trophy to show him as it will turn into ash soon. But he will realize I am telling the truth once I show him my sword, which is stained by Nyxia's blood.
To be honest, I wanted to keep her alive and have some fun with her body, but it didn't matter. I am not stupid enough to take the risk of letting her life. And besides, I am sure she was just hiding the wrinkles of an old hag behind her charm ability.
However, whatever you do, do not kill the twin princess. They both are valuable assets to us. We can use them to use the Orion Heart kingdom citizen."
"Just admit that you want those girls in your collection," one of them commented.
"Well, you are not wrong. You can chop her hands and legs and make her limbless, but make sure to keep them both alive. If they die, you will be the next!" After a brief pause, Luis gritted his teeth in annoyance and muttered:
"I still haven't received any news from Vesier. Where is he?! If he was here, I would have gained some insider intel, which we all could have used. He wasn't there in the Blood Moon week, either. Did something happen to him?"
"Nah." Luis shook his head and mumbled, "Vesier is the smartest person I know. He is second after me. No one can defeat him. I mean… he was the one who killed Vlad the twelfth."
"Anyway! Let's go! Next time we meet, we will have our rule on the entire Vampire World!" Luis announced.
All of them left the Lord's chamber and marched towards the Orion Heart Kingdom.
Nyxia's body eventually turned into ash and vanished into thin air. Her hair on her also began to disintegrate into nothing.
Suddenly, a pair of hands appeared out of nowhere and grabbed Nyxia's head, eventually turning into ashes.
SNAP!
One of the two hands snapped its finger, and the Lord's Chamber changed. There was no blood on the floor, not even Nyxia's clothes.
"What a foolish lot of vampires…" Nyxia uttered as she walked out from the shadow.
"Did they really think they could kill me?" she scoffed. "All of them were in my Absolute Illusion, and they couldn't even realize that. They will conquer the world, they said. They have no idea who they are dealing with.
Still, that device was dangerous. It's no wonder, after all, it was crafted by the elder dwarf, and it took him 96 years to make it. If I hadn't used an illusion, they would have used that device on Virgil, which could have been life-threatening, but not really. After all, Virgil's power is…
If a child born under the blue moon is a cursed child, then a child named by the Lord itself is a blessed child."
THUNDER! BANG! BOOM!
The clouds roared with thunder as lightning went berserk in the vampire world.
Nyxia chuckled softly and muttered, "Darling is here. And he is… angry."
