Chapter 11: Price
Tale of the Great
Vampire Lord
Vol-3
Chapter 11: Price
More than 10 thousand demons have attacked the capital city of Effeneer, Walca, where Gildart and other people are.
The attack started out of a bomb which came out of nowhere and blasted the boundary walls, allowing demons to enter
As for how in the world they came or from where they came? Simple, its Iris summon techniques where she calls a few demons from the hell
"Ahhhh"
*blood spilling*
"Help"
"MAMAAAA"
"NOOOOoooooo"
The demons kept on killing each and every single person that came in their way, with no exception of age or gender or in what situation they are in.
They just killed and killed
"Don't falter, Magicians Attack" Few nobles gather their guards and a few soldiers to stop the attack but
*blood splash*
Nothing happened, they all just died by their hands
Anzai Hana, saw the scene from the window of the palace and said "MY queen, what is your order?"
The queen (aoi) stayed silent and she didnt know what to do in this situation
*whoo*
She let out a long breath and then said "Find as many soldiers as possible and also gather adventurers and with no delay attack those demons and show them that my kingdom is not something to be messed around. Also, tell the guards to help people evacuate into the safe region"
"Yes, I'll do what you want. Also, please stay safe here" Hana said to Aoi
In which Aoi replied "Stay Safe? Here? No, I am the queen of this kingdom, they are my people and I will live and die by my people's side. I will also join you"
"But"
"I have said my words, are you going against my order, Anzai Hana?"
What can Hana do here, nothing more than accepting her queen's wish with a smile she nodded to her Queen and then set off to the battlefield
. . .
The whole city was half annihilated by those demons, though the city had some talented individuals and also great magicians the numbers they were up against was not something small
Aoi and Hana have gathered some people to fight in this dire situation and set up a big defensive wall to hold off the demons from further entering
"Aoi-Sama, everything is ready, we are waiting for your orders," Hana said to her queen in a low tone while she bowed her head
Aoi looked at her soldiers for a second and then said "Don't worry everyone, they are just a bunch of wild dogs nothing else"
Her words made those soldiers smile a little and have some confidence in them
And then she took a long breath and said "ATTACK"
"HHHHHHAAAAAA"
And then against 10 thousand, a few hundred soldiers launched an attack
*booom*
*booom*
*boom*
"ATTACK"
Various spells were used in the field by magicians or wizard and various skills were used by warriors also
"wind slash"
"7 continuos strikes"
*boom*
*boom*
"Oh, the great spirit of light please helps my people cleanse the evil that is trying to corrupt us all. Light Magic- Ray of Hope"
Aoi cast her spell, Ray of Hope, which is a support-based spell as it boosts the skills of other people, this greatly helped both magicians and warriors.
And finally, they were able to kill some demons but compared to those demons, more than 40 people are already dead. Which is good as considering the size they are up against, also, there are few demons in the area, as demons are spread around the place, so they were able to kill few
But after the killing a few demons, something change
The air around the demons became heavy as they started to look more and more dangerous but they didn't attack rather stayed in one place as if they were waiting for someone
*steps*
*Steps*
"Interesting" A man came from in between the hordes of a demon and walked up to the soldiers. The man had a mask on his face but the mask only had a big smile and nothing else
It was a plain mask with a big smile on it.
Hana was already in her Spirit form, thus she was able to sense the danger much faster than other and in a loud tone she said "FALL BACK, we can't kill him"
Everyone was stunned to hear this as they all know that once Hana is in her spirit form, till there is light she can never lose or die but her words told something else
"Did I say you can leave?" The masked man said to the soldiers as he opened his arms
And at that moment the whole air became so heavy that they all fall on their knees.
"*cough* *cough* I can't breathe"
*thud*
*thud*
The air was so heavy that all soldiers that were around 50 meters of the masked men, they all died just like that.
"YOU" Hana yelled at the masked man in angry tone but the man had already disappeared
*whoosh*
A figure appeared behind Hana
"huh?"
*booom*
And a kick at the ribs of her body, sent her flying away to the side of her queen
*boooom*
"HANA" Aoi shout her knight's name as Hana crashed into the nearest building
But to her surprise, a big energy burst out
*boooooooooom*
One more time, Hana was in her ultimate mode, but this time she was under control as compared to last time where she was controlled by the spirit
In a rough voice, Hana said "Aoi-Sama, please run away as I am not sure if I can still beat him. So please run away"
"I can't, How can I leave my people behi-"
Aoi wanted to say something but Hana cut her words and said "I am not saying you should run away. I am saying, I will try my best to give you some time and in that time you go and call him"
Aoi understood who she meant but she was against that idea, she wanted to raise her voice but Aoi continued and said "Aoi-Sama, it's not about like or dislike. No matter what, the only person who is capable of saving us is him. And if you really want to save this kingdom than you know what to do"
With that said, Hana disappeared
*whoosh*
And appeared in front of the masked man and threw her punches
*bang*
*bang*
She used her fists and legs but all of those attacks were stopped or blocked by her enemy.
After seeing that physical strength is not enough, She jumped up in the air and used her fire spells, "Divine Flame- Fire Tornado"
*whoosh*
A giant tornado made up of flame appeared in front of the masked man but the man simply threw a punch
*boom*
And with that one attack, the tornado disappeared
In her whole life, Hana thought she is a genius as she has a divine spirit but after meeting Gildart and then Wraith, she knew that the world is much bigger than she had imagined but still she thought she is good
But now, she lost all her pride and confidence
That one attack didn't blow the tornado but her confidence also
*whoosh*
"where?"
The masked demon or man disappeared and appeared behind Hana
"Time to go down"
With that said he attacked at her head, sending her down, crashing on the ground
*whoosh*
The man again appeared beside Hana and then launched another attack at her face
"guhaa" Hana spilled blood from her mouth as each and every single punch and kicks send her, here and there like a rag doll
"How can it be?" Seeing the scene in front, many soldiers couldn't believe it and lost their will to fight
Aoi, didn't leave the field as he believed that maybe she could help her knight but now, her heart trembled as she made a stupid decision, thinking that she could be any help
Aoi turned around and took a horse towards the prison place, where that man is, that man who is unbeatable since he is born in this world
. . .
Underground Prison-
Among all prisonars there is one person who is as calm as if everything is moving the way he desires.
Gildart is sitting calmly as he knows what will happen next. also this is the reason why he didn't show any worry about getting thrown into prison.
*kuhhh/ steel door opens*
*steps*
*steps*
*running*
"huff"
"Huff"
The queen appeared in front of Gildart, the only person who can save Hana right now
"Please help," She said to Gildart as she cried and begged
"That demon will kill Hana, please help her. Please save her life" She said to Gildart
Gildart remained calm as ever for a second and then said "I can save her, but what can you give me in return?"
Aoi's face turned pale, as the same question which Gildart asked her previous time is asked one more time
With a smile, Gildart said "The kingdom needs help and I can help you and your kingdom and your knight but what will I get?
And I think you know what I want right?"
Aoi stayed silent, as she knows the answer, she knows the price of his help but really? Is it worth it?
Gildart stands up and said "I don't want you for my physical needs but I just want a loyal servant that's all
*walks near her and holds her face up. Then he touched her hair*
Don't think much, as time is running out. Either you submit yourself to me and save your kingdom which you love the most or "
Gildart didn't say anything further and he just stepped back with a smile
Aoi, in her whole life, felt like she was nothing more than an object which was used again and again. First by those political figures, then her husband and now Gildart
She cursed everyone but in this situation, what can she do? So she accepted her fate
"I give my absolute loyalty to you but only if you can save my kingdom"
Gildart gave an evil smile to her which made her body shiver
He came closer to her and in a low voice he said "Good decision"
. . .
*bang*
*bang*
Hana was thrown here and thereby the masked demon.
*cough*
She kept on coughing blood but the demon didn't allow her to die, as he allowed her to heal and then again took his time to torture her
*Bang*
*bang*
The scene was the same as usual. All soldiers and magicians cried as they saw their war goddess being brutalized
"Is this all you have sweetheart?" The masked demon asked Hana
Hana had no more life inside her, she remained silent
"So this is goodbye huh?"
The masked man prepared his fist for one big attack as he aimed it on her head. Hana has accepted her fate now, she was ready to die.
*whoosh*
Suddenly a man appeared beside her and in front of the masked demon. And then a very familiar voice came to her ears
"My turn to fight"
