Crimson's current goal is to resurrect Elizabeth and recreate the tragedy of that time.
And I am here to stop Crimson!
After hearing Mary's story, Claire began to tell her own.
"When I was young, my body seemed to show symptoms of Demon Possession! But my younger brother said it was just a common illness that only needed some herbal poultices and massages!"
"And then, a few days later, I was indeed better!"
"But then people from the Holy Church came. They said I was suspected of being demon-possessed!"
"But after their detailed examination, I was not demon-possessed!"
"Recently, I've been having frequent dreams. I dream that my younger self was demon-possessed and then turned into a monster! I've been having these dreams often lately! I'm very scared, afraid that one day the dream will become reality!"
"That should just be a dream!"
"I hope so!"
As they spoke, the two had already approached the top of the tower.
"There's no trace of Crimson here!"
Claire looked at the male corpse over there, which had become a mummy, all its blood absorbed by a strange object.
That corpse was not her younger brother, Sino.
"It's good that it's not Sino!"
Claire breathed a sigh of relief.
"Claire, be careful!" Mary shouted.
At this moment, the strange object extended a tentacle and attacked Claire.
Claire dodged the attack with extreme speed.
But then more tentacles appeared.
Claire swung her sword and cut off all the tentacles.
The source of the tentacles transformed into a girl.
"Elizabeth!" Mary called out.
She tried to awaken Elizabeth's conscious mind.
But Elizabeth ignored Mary.
She suddenly rushed towards Claire.
Claire immediately swung her sword to attack.
Her attack was dodged.
Elizabeth appeared behind Claire and bit her neck.
Claire felt her blood draining.
Her body felt weak and powerless.
While Elizabeth was drawing Claire's blood, her own blood was also injected into Claire's body.
Vampires instinctively do this when they feed. Normally, this would turn the other person into their own kind. However, this assimilation ability is useless against Magic Swordsmen who have magic power in their bodies.
Although Claire had been trained by Sino, her own strength was probably only comparable to Milia's. Facing Elizabeth, who was even stronger than Alpha, she was completely powerless.
Lord Shadow was only observing from the shadows at this moment.
He knew very well that Claire would be fine.
The consciousness of Calamity Witch Aurora would also appear within her sister's body.
Sino had to admit that the diabolos bloodline was indeed very powerful.
She only needed to gather her bloodline into one person's body, and she could resurrect her own consciousness.
This terrifying ability was too powerful.
At this moment, Beta appeared and sliced off Elizabeth's head with a single sword strike. The other members of Shadow Garden rescued Claire.
They immediately began emergency first aid for Claire.
At the same time, several black-clad figures appeared on the stone pillars of the Vampire Tower.
They were four women.
They removed their hoods.
The four were Alpha, Delta, Epsilon, and Zeta.
Alpha had come personally after hearing Sino say that she couldn't defeat the Vampire Queen.
She wanted to prove to Sino that she had become very strong and was no longer the girl who needed his protection.
Alpha was the first to attack Elizabeth.
At this moment, Elizabeth also opened her eyes.
A blood-red scythe appeared in her hand.
She had absorbed the flesh and blood of the male corpse at the beginning, providing basic nutrients for her body's reconstruction, and now she had absorbed Claire's blood.
Her strength had recovered by seventy to eighty percent.
Alpha launched a direct attack.
The attack was blocked by Elizabeth.
"Someone he calls a powerful being is indeed not weak! The plan has changed, let's all attack together!"
Alpha said.
Upon hearing the command, Delta, like a cheetah, shot out with a whoosh.
In the blink of an eye, she was in front of Elizabeth.
Her sharp claws fiercely scratched Elizabeth's body.
Elizabeth's blood flowed out.
Zeta also attacked, severing Elizabeth's limbs.
Epsilon and Beta attacked simultaneously, both thrusting towards Elizabeth's heart.
Elizabeth's severed hand, holding the scythe, repelled the two.
All the severed body parts immediately regenerated.
Elizabeth raised her hand, and blood rain fell from the sky.
The blood rain, like sharp blades, attacked everyone on the Vampire Tower.
Beta and Epsilon, whose strength was slightly weaker than the other three of the Seven Shadows, suffered some scratches.
Claire was protected by the other members of Shadow Garden and was not seriously injured.
Elizabeth raised her hand, and Demon Possession simultaneously appeared on Claire, Epsilon, Beta, Alpha, Delta, Zeta, and the other members of Shadow Garden brought by Beta.
"How can this be? Lord Shadow clearly cured us! This is a blasphemy against Lord Shadow!" Beta exclaimed.
"She can actually control Demon Possession!" Epsilon said.
At this moment, Claire's body began to deteriorate.
The tumors on her body grew rapidly.
Alpha immediately came to check the situation, wanting to treat Claire.
But she was powerless. Among the Seven Shadows, Alpha was the fastest at treating Demon Possession.
But her healing speed simply couldn't keep up with the rate of deterioration.
Alpha used all her abilities, but could only watch Claire's body rapidly worsen, and she was powerless.
"He was right, I can't do all of this!"
At this moment, Lord Shadow was ransacking the treasures of the Vampire Tower. Although he heard loud noises outside, it was clear that treasures were more important to him.
He was completely oblivious to what was happening outside, his mind solely focused on collecting gold coins.
Lord Shadow looked at the battle scene and knew it was time for him to appear.
Lord Shadow had known that Alpha and the others had arrived for a long time.
Since Alpha wanted to personally experience Elizabeth's strength, then he would let her experience it.
"Boss is here!" Delta was the first to spot Lord Shadow.
"You're here, so Claire should be fine!" Alpha said.
"Leave everything to me!"
As Lord Shadow spoke, he waved his hand, and blue-purple magic power cured everyone's Demon Possession.
"No, I want to prove our strength to you!"
As Alpha spoke, five of the Seven Shadows all manifested magic wings.
Although Alpha really wanted to fly like Lord Shadow.
But their understanding was limited. They couldn't understand Sino's flying method of turning magic power into a jet propulsion device.
Sino let them learn to fly like birds.
With Sino's suggestion and Eta's research, the Slime Wings, transformed from magic slime, successfully came into being.
After the five manifested their wings, they successively attacked Elizabeth.
