Boom!!!
An acid shot diagonally struck the spot where the Vampire Fraulein was, and the shockwave exploded, the dazzling light effects obliterating the entire scene. The surging tide rolled into the air like a tsunami, obscuring vision.
[Vampire Fraulein, LP 0]
"Your Majesty the Queen!"
A group of bloodsuckers instantly panicked, hurriedly swarming over, eager to check their queen's condition.
But when the impact passed, and the dust blasted into the air settled to the ground, only a shocking crater was left.
Their queen was nowhere to be seen.
Youyu raised an eyebrow: "Huh, for a vampire, she's quick to escape."
"..."
Indeed, Lady Vampire Fraulein had fled when she saw things were amiss.
As the strongest general under The Supreme King, Vampire Fraulein is not like the typical fodder in the Twelfth Dimension, she has some life-saving methods. As long as she's prepared in advance, even losing a duel won't result in instant death.
But even so, the injuries she sustained were not light.
The duelist named Youyu is far more powerful than she imagined. Previously, she couldn't believe how a top-tier expert like "Reaper of Prophecy" could fall, but now she seems to vaguely understand.
"It's this person who dealt with Ramo, right?"
Vampire Fraulein sat on her throne, gently panting.
She certainly didn't like Ramo. The Magic Dimension and her Vampire Dimension had been at war for years, and Ramo was the mastermind.
But nonetheless, Ramo was one of the four top-tier strong ones alongside her, and they once worked under The Supreme King. Now, with the death of this former colleague and enemy, she couldn't help but feel a bitter sense of loss.
In fact, going to Duel Academy Island and awakening the sleeping soul of The Supreme King, it was all Ramo's idea.
Ramo had sought her out because, as the Vampire Queen, she was the most adept at Mind Manipulation, second only to Yubel.
The plan was for Ramo to initially face off against the boy with The Supreme King's soul within him, using his power to stimulate The Supreme King's soul to awaken.
Next would be Fraulein's task.
Ramo would create the opportunity for her to directly contact the boy. According to the plan, by then The Supreme King should be on the verge of awakening, just needing the final push.
And Fraulein would deliver the final blow to awaken their King.
The plan... uncertain if one could call it successful.
In theory, every step was completed, the only unexpected occurrence was Ramo himself couldn't withstand it.
The duelists from that dimension had action and strength that far exceeded their expectations. Ramo's disguise was exposed, and he fell in a duel with that dimension's "Duel King," leaving him there eternally.
The reason Vampire Fraulein accepted the proposal from her enemy Ramo was because she was truly weary of war.
Her family, friends, closest subordinates, most loyal warriors, all disappeared in the war. As the Queen, she couldn't even display sadness, must always maintain composure and strength, leading her army to one victory after another.
But she was genuinely exhausted.
Furthermore, the war seemed never-ending, with no sign of stopping, she couldn't see the dawn of the future.
To the other people in this country, she was everyone's beacon and lighthouse. She could grant all the blood race courage to fight and hope for the future, as long as she was there, this country could keep persevering.
But the question is, who would offer her hope?
This was why she agreed to Ramo's proposal, because she had never missed the days with The Supreme King so much.
All dimensions bowed to absolute power, everyone obeyed The Supreme King's leadership. The Twelfth Dimension was a complete whole, never like this endless war now.
But now it seemed, this might have been a bad move.
For in releasing The Supreme King, she seemed to have attracted a more terrifying enemy to this dimension.
She knew clearly that after her retreat, the front line would soon be unable to withstand. Breaching this castle was only a matter of time, even as she sat here panting, those strange Other Dimensional beings might have already broken through, storming into this castle.
"Your Majesty the Queen, you seem to be in bad shape."
The sudden voice startled her.
She turned her head, seeing the Vampire Lady leisurely stepping on the red carpet, walking up the stairs.
Vampire Fraulein was surprised that she hadn't sensed her entrance at all, it seemed her physical state was worse than imagined after the fierce battle just now.
"It's you," Fraulein breathed out, asked in a deep voice, "the castle's in crisis, why aren't you overseeing the frontline combat, what are you here for?"
"Overseeing combat?" the Lady laughed amusingly, "Your Majesty the Queen, do you seriously think it still matters at this point?"
Vampire Fraulein frowned slightly: "As long as we don't give up..."
"There's still a chance? You can't seriously believe that nonsense, can you?" the Vampire Lady giggled, "Everyone saw how you fled in panic, what effect do you think that has on others?
You can't seriously believe this country still has a chance, right?"
Vampire Fraulein: "...What are you trying to say?"
"Quite simple."
She stood in front of her queen, her gaze fearlessly meeting those beautiful red eyes.
Then she suddenly jabbed her right arm out, swiftly seizing the slender neck of Vampire Fraulein,
Fraulein tried to dodge, but she was too weakened. She couldn't even stand up from this chair.
The Lady's slender fingers clasped like locks around Fraulein's throat, single-handedly suspending the small-statured girl's feet off the ground in the air.
Fraulein struggled to speak: "Why... are you..."
"Heh, in the end, you all are just frogs in a well." The Lady smiled, "For so many years, your vision only extends to these twelve dimensions.
Ramo, you, you're ultimately just strong within this limited realm.
But I've seen what true power is. Compared to that strength, you all... no, even the so-called 'The Supreme King,' are merely so-so."
Fraulein: "!?"
Could she mean there are stronger than "The Supreme King"?
"By your expression, it seems you don't believe it?" The Lady giggled again, "Hence, frogs in a well. I've witnessed the possibilities in dueling that you've never even imagined!
Compared to that realm, duels by you so-called dimension's strongest are laughably weak...
Nevertheless, saying more has no meaning, as Your Majesty won't have the chance to see it. After all, I found new forces and no longer need you or this country.
So kindly become history here."
She said, increasing the force on her hand, ready to deliver the final strike to this former queen.
But at that moment, the palace doors were blasted open from the outside.
Someone rushed in from outside, shouting loudly: "Second wife, what are you doing? Let go of my first wife!"
Vampire Lady: "???"
