Chapter 284 The Barrier Of The Ghost City Has Broken?!

"I'm glad to see you back from your exploration mission finally...my queen."

When she heard Alvine's tone, Lilliana's expression blackened as if someone had painted her face with a black anchor...

"Fufu~, I am as much as you, my dear Darling~~!" She then tilts her head to the other side, looking at Assiaphir, still well dressed in her professional black suit, but her smile widens after noticing Linn under the cover.

"Ahem, it's to cure her a few--

"Sigh, I got it." She stopped Alvine while lowering her rapier under Alvine's throat, which instantly healed itself.

"... hm?" But instead of sighing with relief, Alvine frowned.

"Right~; this fucking bitch probably had a fatal injury you could only treat. Am I wrong?" She asked in a calm tone making Alvine even more suspicious.

"...Sigh! You have understood every--

-plop, plop, plop!

But Alvine stopped in his sentence when he saw tiny blood drops forming around Lilliana.

"Don't worry; I so madly love you to kill you; I wouldn't even be able to do it, even if I wanted to. That's why~, I want you to see for yourself how much progress I progressed during your absence."

Hearing Lilliana's proposal, Alvine's eyes switched between her and Assiaphir as if he wanted her to assist him. But seeing the silence and a slight smile on Assi's lips, Alvine had no choice but to face reality.

"No-Nothing is rushing at the moment. We have a lot to say to ourselves during all this time of absence. So why bother with such things?" While pronouncing these words, he stealthily kept a safe distance between them, monitoring, at the same time, the dozens of red blood pearls around Lilliana.

Hearing Alvine's proposal, the madness in her eyes has not diminished to the least.

But she did not attack Alvine. Instead, her eyes became even blood redder as she exercised her powers on her pearls, which are closely similar to Alvine's!

Instantly, the red pearls, hitherto motionless, began to merge against each other and created a red spear made of blood!

-Woooshhhh!!!

The long spear of 10m pulled to... Linn, who slept peacefully on the bed!

"!!" Seeing this, the two instantly guessed the attentions of Lilliana, who had crazy eyes and a sinister smile.

But before Alvine stops the spear, Assiaphir clings to the rod of the spear before it reaches Linn.

'Ugh! It's more powerful than expected!' She stammered these words in her thoughts of surprise as the spear dragged her with her toward Linn's forehead; leaving debris from broken tiles under her feet.

Noticing this fact, the wave of primordial energy that she had always kept hidden and which was of a deep pink glow poured fiercely from her body, shaking all the walls of the room. And at the same time, she wraps the spear with her energy, momentarily breaking Lilliana's control over the spear; which melts the second after into a pool of blood

"Hey! Don't get involved in that!" Lilliana's monotonous voice thundered behind Assiaphir as she instantly appeared behind the latter, immobilizing her with chains of blood!

"Your Highness, she's a guest of his majesty! What--

"Tsk! Do you say this whore is my Darling's guest?! All the more reason for me to send her to the depths of hell!" She madly shouted these words as she slashed toward Linn's neck with her rapier at a speed that Alvine himself could not follow!

-Clang!!

Before her rapier reached Linn's throat, Assiaphir cast a pink magic shield between Lilliana's rapier and Linn's throat, preventing her from killing.

-Craaack!

'What?! Does she manage to break this shield with so much ease?! Something is wrong with her!' Assi stuttered once in her thoughts, seeing her display a power well beyond her rank!

*M-Milord, there's something wrong with her!* Assiaphir immediately informed Alvine, seeing red veins under Lilliana's garnet eyes after looking at her more closely!

*I had already noticed. But I don't know what puts her in such a state! Let's start by getting her out of this place.* Alvine also nodded, noticing the same abnormal phenomenon with Lilliana.

At the same time, Alvine opened a black portal behind her, and Assiaphir took advantage of this situation by pushing Lilliana into Alvine's portal, entering with her, followed by Alvine.

...

Instantly, the two appeared above the spiritual ocean surrounding the kingdom of Alvine, more precisely, a hundred kilometers from the kingdom.

As Alvine crossed the portal, he froze in his place when he saw the new appearance of Lilliana, who had a pool of blood two kilometers around her. But what made him speechless was not to see Lilliana's divine domain but to notice that red veins were spreading in her body, descending from her neck to her torso.

The worst was to notice that her powers increased drastically as the veins spread throughout her body!

'What is this strange phenomenon that appeared on her?! She will be in danger if she continues!' Alvine murmured as she looked at her with the enormous blood cape on her and the two lines of blood coming out of her eyes as if she were crying tears of blood.

But seeing the coldness in her eyes, Alvine could imagine everything except tears!

At the same time, Lilliana's body became a mirage as she disappeared one more in Alvine's visual field with Assiaphir, who was no different from her!

-BOMM!

The deep blue ocean, which was of undeniable tranquility, began to agitate in all directions, creating destructive waves after each blow the two exchanged.

*Urgh! M-milord, if she continues like this, she could have serious repercussions. Please give me the order to neutralize her before it's too late!*

Even if Alvine could not see what was happening between these two, just by hearing Assi's tone in his mind, he instantly understood that she was beginning to have trouble taking the attacks of Lilliana, who was nothing more than a divine magus!

'However, it's not Assiaphir who is weak, but... what's wrong with her? Is it a problem related to her bloodline? Or maybe--

"Master, has an enemy invaded us?" Alvine's disturbing thoughts, in the face of Lilliana's abnormality, were interrupted by Sylvia, who appeared behind him.

"Hmm? An enemy, huh? Well, I don't really know what's going on here. But I guess you have any explanations to give me?" Alvine frowned at Sylvia, who was dressed in an ordinary white dress.

Sylvia also frowns in her turn when she hears Alvine's question.

"Explanations, huh? Sigh, It is the inversion of blood, a skill that only royal vampires can use, which consists of reversing the blood circulation in their blood flows. But seeing her trigger unconsciously such a skill, I can almost guess the cause." She explained briefly.

'A blood reversal skill, Huh? I now understand why she is...like that. But why do I feel like it's more than that? This blood reversal skill gives great power in exchange for the consciousness and the three nuclei of its user. She can't go so far for a simple question of possessiveness; it's surely related to a factor I don't know.' Alvine whispered these words in his thoughts following Sylvia's brief explanation.

"If Miss Assiaphir doesn't stop her, it will be too late; you know the side effects of this skill just as well as I do. That's why I must inform Miss Assiaphir to stop her as soon as possible." She continued to see Alvine thoughtful.

-Nod

"Very well, do as you wish. But you must give me more details about it. I have the impression that you know the details I don't know about her." While nodding his head, Alvine then looked at the dubious battle between a high-ranking divine mage who managed to compete with a primordial (who had not yet used all her powers).

But even taking into account this detail, it was always a feat that could not even be achieved by Balakh (ancient beast), who had confronted Linn while the latter was injured!

But suddenly, Lilliana's divine domain, which was now more than 4 km away, suddenly collapsed while a bloodthirsty aura replaced it with asphyxiating ferocity and heaviness.

At the same time, Alvine finally noticed the silhouette of Asssiaphir and Lilliana, two kilometers from them.

Unlike Lilliana, Assiaphir did not have a flashy appearance; but she had her palm on Lilliana's head, who was motionless in front of her with her eyes empty.

[Torpor!]

She then whispered this word in the primordial language, instantly stunning Lilliana's senses, who lost consciousness the second after.

But before she fell, Assiaphir caught her and checked her condition with her primordial perception.

"These strange traits are connected to her mana heart. Sigh, it's a relief that she goes well after such a destructive power." She murmured to herself while flying to Alvine and Sylvia, who had ordered her instead.

"A damage with her cultivation?" Alvine instantly asks the second that Assiaphir appears in front of him with Lilliana in her arms.

"No, but she has some internal injuries that must be treated without further delay." While shaking her head, Asssiaphir reveals this information, which makes Alvine frown.

"Don't worry, master. It is a miracle that she suffered only superficial injuries. Her situation could have been worse if Miss Assiaphir hadn't stopped her with her spiritual skills. If it had been me or someone else... sigh, we were lucky to have Mlle Assiaphir with us." Sylvia whispered these words while watching Alvine take Lilliana in Asiaphir's arms with a bitter smile.

'Sigh, I guess he didn't listen to what I just said. In short, the reason for my coming is that there is a more urgent situation that must be dealt with without further delay. I have already contacted Sabrina, who will be there, from one second to the next, with the other three Punishers.' While thinking that, her expression turns a little serious.

-Something's wrong?" Assi asked, noticing the coldness in Sylvia's eyes.

"Yes, the ghost city barrier has collapsed for more than two days!" She said in a monotonous voice.

"..."

"We lost the three teams guarding in front of the city entrance. I had come to inform the master, but seeing Lilliana in such a critical state, made me forget this emergence." She then continued, seeing the darkness in Alvine's eyes.

"Enemies?" Alvine asked coldly.

"Enemies...? No, I would rather say invaders who are trying to take control of your kingdom, master!"
