Blood Princess, Evelise

Time ticked by, but the vampires standing by the dire wolf’s corpse showed no signs of leaving.

Instead, they split into two groups and began searching the surrounding buildings.

After learning that a human might have passed through the area, they, not wanting their movements to be revealed, became fully alert, intending to silence anyone who knew of their presence.

Lily, who was well hidden, grew more and more anxious as time went on, watching the vampires who refused to leave and were still searching nearby.

“Eve, this can’t go on. We’ve been delayed here long enough. We need to hurry back and report the news that the vampires are preparing a sneak attack on the border city.”

After all, for every minute they remained here, the border city would have one less minute to prepare after receiving the news.

Hearing Lily’s words, Eve nodded in agreement, mentally calculating how to get Lily out of here safely.

One of the vampire groups was already approaching the area where they were hiding.

In just a few more minutes, their hiding place would be discovered.

“This is the last place. If we don’t find the human, we’ll hurry up and meet with the main force.”

The vampires’ conversation came from outside the door.

Eve and Lily exchanged a glance, instantly understanding that they had to deal with these two vampires first to get a chance to escape.

Eve drew the standard-issue steel dagger she carried with her.

Although the dagger was not her most proficient weapon, her movement skills could bring out the greatest characteristic of an assassin.

‘Strike once, and if it fails, immediately disengage.’

Meanwhile, Lily was accumulating the magic essence in her body, preparing to deliver a thunderous blow to the vampire who would enter the door.

Their gazes were both fixed on the still-unopened door.

Creek. The sound of the lock being turned.

At this moment, the two, who were prepared, acted as if they had heard a starting pistol.

They rushed towards the door at the same time, locking onto their respective targets.

Eve chose the vampire on the right side of the door.

His face was pale, and in his black eyes, he saw the ever-enlarging dagger coming towards him, yet he found himself unable to move his limbs to dodge in any direction.

On the other hand, Lily aimed for the vampire on the left side of the door.

His androgynous features made it easy to recognize his vampire identity, not to
mention the fangs he immediately bared when faced with a threat.

Bang!

An explosion sounded nearby, mixed with the mournful cry of a horned horse.

“They’ve been ambushed! Let’s go and provide support!”

The other group of vampires heard the explosion at this moment, immediately dropped what they were doing, and rushed towards the other’s position.

There was not much time left for Eve and the others.

When the vampires passed through the street, they saw that the two horned horses were as dead as could be.

The vampires’ faces darkened.

This basically meant that the few of them would not be able to make it to the raid on time on their own.

Just now, Eve, who was the first to strike with her dagger, had not only locked her killing intent onto the vampire entering the door, but she had also taken advantage of the explosion to send two compressed streams of magic essence towards the horned horses’ position.

Since the vampires had split into two groups to search the nearby buildings for humans, it was destined that they couldn’t continue riding their horned horses and could only leave them by the roadside.

Without the help of the horned horses, this group of vampires was now a step slower, and Lily’s safety was also guaranteed.

Under the well-planned ambush, the pale-faced vampire on the right was struck in the center of his brow by Eve’s dagger, dying a death from which he could not return.

An attack locked on by Eve’s killing intent was not so easy to dodge.

The androgynous vampire that Lily was responsible for now looked quite wretched.

His entire arm had been blown off by Lily’s ambush.

His remaining good arm was trying to stop the bleeding of the other, while blood constantly poured from his mouth, giving him the appearance of being seriously injured.

Faced with Lily’s ambush, the other party had reacted faster.

He had blocked it at the cost of only one arm.

“Human!”

The androgynous vampire’s eyes widened with fury.

As a noble vampire, he had never thought he would be so utterly defeated, ambushed by two humans, resulting in one death and one injury.

To him, this was simply a disgrace!

At this time, the androgynous vampire’s aura surged, and the wound on his severed arm also stopped bleeding.

Eve knew what the other party was doing.

He was burning his own bloodline in exchange for a surge in strength, trying to wash away his shame.

“Lily, there’s not much time. You hurry and find Teacher Bai and have her find a way to notify the border city’s guards. I’ll buy you time here.”

Faced with the vampire whose aura was surging, and the three auras that were
already faintly rushing over from behind him…

Eve turned her head and urged Lily to leave with a worried face.

“But…”

“No buts. These vampires are all just Sequence Three. I focus on speed, my chances of getting away are higher than yours. You go first, I’ll catch up soon. If we delay any longer and get surrounded, neither of us will be able to escape!”

Seeing Lily’s hesitant expression and wanting to say more, Eve immediately
interrupted, not giving Lily a chance to speak.

Eve controlled the initiative on the scene.

She used the critical situation to prevent Lily from calmly thinking of other, better solutions.

Glancing at the approaching auras behind them, Lily said, “Eve, don’t die here. Don’t forget you still have to confess to your boyfriend!”

With that, Lily glanced at Eve, drove the magic essence in her body, and darted away in one direction.

Seeing that Lily had finally left, Eve truly let go of all her burdens.

However, hearing Lily’s last words, a complex emotion flickered in Eve’s eyes.

“Winnie, you protect Lily and find Teacher Bai. Then go back and protect Su Ran for me for a while.”

The aura belonging to Winnie disappeared from behind her, and Eve finally had time to deal with the vampires in front of her.

Besides the surging aura of the androgynous vampire, the other three vampires, after arriving on the scene, immediately split into four corners, blocking all of Eve’s escape routes.

If she wanted to leave in any one direction, she would immediately be met with a fierce attack from the other three.

“One escaped! Finish her off quickly, then go after the other one! If the news leaks, none of us will have a good end!”

The androgynous noble, seeing his comrades’ reinforcement, immediately shouted.

The surrounded Eve was fearless.

She habitually wanted to draw her steel dagger, only to find it was still stuck in the pale-faced vampire’s brow, and she had forgotten to pull it out.

She sighed helplessly.

“If you have any last words, say them now. This is a vampire’s mercy towards you humans.”

The leading androgynous vampire, even in a state of fury, still maintained his arrogant style.

“Originally, you were not worthy to die at its hands. But I don’t have a suitable weapon, so I can only do it this injustice.”

After Eve finished speaking, she raised her head again, her eyes turning into vertical pupils.

The four nobles surrounding Eve were suddenly filled with the urge to prostrate themselves before the human in front of them.

At this moment, the androgynous noble noticed Eve’s eyes and was greatly alarmed, “Wrong! You’re not human! You are…”

“Hush, and kneel before me!”

The command carried a supreme authority, a feeling of submission that came from within their own bloodline.

It made the bodies of the four vampires on the scene uncontrollably shut their mouths and kneel before Eve on both knees, their faces filled with terror as they watched her being enveloped in surging blood.

The vampires on the scene had ashen faces, kneeling on the spot and waiting for Eve’s reappearance.

When Eve emerged from the blood, her school uniform had already been casually tossed to the ground.

In its place was a blood-red long dress.

The bright red light flowing on the dress was like real blood.

Her bright silver hair was tied up by a magnificent crown inlaid with jewels.

The hearts of the four nobles present were like dead ashes.

The ability to control their bodies, the crown on her head symbolizing a princess, and the wings growing from her waist, all pointed to the other party’s identity.

The Vampire Princess, Evelise.

There could be no other, besides her who possessed the royal bloodline.

“Other Shore!”

Eve called out softly.

A giant scythe, longer than her own height, appeared in her hand.

The four vampires could feel its sharp blade through their sight alone, without even needing to be close.
