The vampire heiress is two-faced

Page 168

She had long since lost all hope and future.

Princess Lingxi had no intention of leaving after that trip to the snow-capped mountains.

Regardless of the outcome of their journey to the snow mountain, she wanted to stay there with the Eternal Queen forever and spend the rest of her life with her.

The spark of hope she left for the vampires was Ludwig and Lochina.

She deceived everyone, even those closest to her.

All the so-called conspiracies, big and small, were merely smokescreens; her true purpose remained always simple—

Find someone who can replace the Eternal Queen and lead the vampires forward, so that the Eternal Queen, Siriot, can be relieved of the burden she can no longer bear.

Like the Eternal Queen, Lingxi had long since lost the will, the ability, and the power to lead the vampires forward.

Later, Ludwig finally understood...

Lingxi generously shared her power with Ludwig, which was the fundamental reason why Ludwig was later able to withstand the Queen's power.

This indirectly led to Lingxi's weakness, causing her to meet with misfortune during the attack on the snow mountain, and ultimately die after suffering endless torment.

Her simple wish to spend the rest of her life with her beloved... was ruthlessly shattered in the snow-capped mountains.

Ludwig only realized this truth after she became queen.

Lingxi's last gentle words were deeply etched into Ludwig's mind, turning into a raging fire in her heart, making her proud eyes even more crimson.

"Alexei Petrenko..."

"Killed Princess Lingxi".

"The plot to assassinate the vampire princess failed."

"Indirectly led to the Eternal Queen giving up eternity."

"Now, they are even trampling on the ironclad laws of the vampire clan and showing contempt for the Eternal Night Queen of the vampire clan."

She raised her hand and pointed.

"His various crimes deserve death ten thousand times over, and even being torn to pieces is not a pity."

"cocoa!"

...

"Yes!"

If Coco changed direction in mid-air, leaping between the top floors of skyscrapers on non-existent objects, rushing towards the only direction from which the bullets were coming.

The Night Witch accompanied Rucoco to seek out the enemy, causing Ludwig to instantly lose all protection.

Her petite, solitary figure, exposed in an open space, undoubtedly became a live target.

...

click-

Om-!

A strange sound like shattering glass rang out, and Ruo Keke and the Eternal Night Witch, who were still clearly visible in the distance, vanished in an instant.

Ludwig's pupils suddenly filled with shock.

Because the connection with the Eternal Night Witch was abruptly severed at this moment!

"The Eternal Night Witch...return to your place!"

Then, something unbelievable happened.

Ludwig could sense the Night Witch trying to get closer to her, but looking around, she couldn't see any trace of her.

Just as she was about to approach Ludwig, the Night Witch would suddenly disappear several hundred meters away...

"Hmph, what kind of trick is this?"

...

Bang!

She glanced coldly to the side and saw the rooftop emergency exit door being kicked open.

The lithe, white-haired veteran appeared, carrying an old-fashioned assault rifle.

"Looks like you're not alone this time... Do you have any helpers?"

Ludwig quickly realized that the bullets fired from a distance were nothing more than a clever illusion.

The purpose of this feint attack was to lure the troublesome Ruo Keke and the Moon Shadow Witch away from her.

...

"So what if you have help?"

[Artillery] Alexei made no unnecessary movements; before he could finish speaking, he cleanly and decisively raised his gun and aimed it at Ludwig.

“I don’t expect him to be able to handle that dangerous maid either, but she’s not our target anyway.”

"Eliminating you is the top priority."

bang bang bang-

Even at such close range, the silencer still made a considerable noise, and the bullets struck Ludwig with a series of muffled thuds.

She chuckled softly and vanished from Alexei's sight in an instant.

hum-

The next second, she appeared behind Alexei and swung her hand to strike.

"Destroy this queen? How laughable... You think you can?"

She gripped the familiar Western rapier tightly, her crimson eyes filled with disdain.

Clang——

Alexei drew his saber from his waist with lightning speed and parried the attack steadily.

"Without the protection of guards and blood energy, it would be easy to deal with you."

A strange flow of blood energy quickly spread along the rapier towards Ludwig.

"Humph."

She raised an eyebrow, released the slender sword, and spun around, launching a flying kick—

Many people, including Alexei, have probably forgotten that her high heels contained hidden blades.

Uh-huh! Swish!

A few swift and powerful kicks successfully forced Alexei back, allowing Ludwig to create a safe distance between them.

"Hmph, trying to use that despicable ability to strike first?"

The girl lightly steadied herself, hooked the rapier on the ground with her toes, and grasped it in her hand.

"It seems you still know very little about the Vampire Queen... You even think that the Vampire Queen's power is only to 'control the vampires', and that I am not good at close combat, so you came up with this trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain... How blindly arrogant."

She sheathed the rapier in her left sleeve, seemingly abandoning any intention of using it for attack.

"If this drags on too long, it will disrupt many schedules. I don't intend to spend too much time dealing with you."

She gracefully raised her hand and snapped her fingers.

Snapped!

Tranquility

Eternal night.

...

...

call--!

In an instant, a mysterious black mist appeared and obscured the sky, and all surrounding noise ceased abruptly...

As the dark fog dissipated, a bright moon hung in the sky, illuminating the rooftop space.

The silver-haired girl who was standing there just moments ago had vanished in the blink of an eye.

"hehe..."

Her chilling laughter came from all directions, but Alexei still couldn't see anything.

You should be happier, shouldn't you?

Her laughter remained unchanged.

"Because you will be the first person to witness the power of the vampire queen... Even your poor colleague [Chariot] doesn't have such 'fortune'."

"Struggle as hard as you can."

"I'm going to make you feel the same way as Lingxi."

"Like her... suffered endless torment."

Her voice faded away with the laughter.

The next instant, something suddenly appeared behind Alexei.

He turned around in shock and hastily parried his body—but it was too late.

The kick was so fast it was beyond Alexei's reaction time.

Bang!

The girl's slender feet, covered in black stockings, possessed an inexplicable strength, kicking him away—

Alexei soared over the top of a tall building, across the street, and out of control flew out at high speed in a near-straight parabola, landing directly on the top of another tall building with a series of dull metallic thuds as he crashed into a ventilation fan.

...

"Not good at close combat? Hmm?"

The girl stood on tiptoe, twisted her ankle, and wore an elegant yet disdainful smile.

"You foolish humans...do you have some misunderstanding about the title of Vampire Queen?"

Chapter 188 Excuses

Ludwig snorted coldly, lifted her leg and stepped forward. The black mist gathered beneath her feet, forming a narrow platform that helped her walk step by step toward the rooftop opposite.

The moment I stepped off the rooftop, the surrounding scenery flashed by abruptly.

hum-

"Ok?"

She looked around and, sure enough, she was back in the center of the rooftop.

Some strange barrier trapped her inside, and it seemed to only work on her... Alexei, who was kicked away, seemed completely unaffected by it.

"Is it some kind of blood energy capable of altering space? It seems to be the same type of ability as mine."

Ludwig's power is also a powerful blood energy related to space and time. Within the Eternal Night Domain, she is the ruler of this space. With the domain's blessing, she can ignore the limitations of many world laws and unleash her extraordinary blood energy without reservation.

Even so, the Eternal Night Domain seemed unable to affect the strange spatial cage surrounding it.

"Hmph, since that's the case..."

She closed her eyes and waved her hand.

"【Short-lived precious time, let's linger here for now】."

Tick-tick, tick-tick——

The already tranquil realm of eternal night seemed to be shrouded in an even more hazy hue.

She entered a still space that belonged only to her. Here, time and space, everything, truly stood still.

She cannot stop time in the entire world; the essence of this power is to allow her to enter a plane that is separated from reality.

In this dimension where time stands still, she can achieve "instant teleportation" in reality, and with the ability to foresee "the future a few seconds later" from living beings, she can always gain the upper hand in battle.

However, it is ultimately another dimension, and if she wants to launch an attack, she must return to the real world.

Its numerous limitations do not stop there.
