"Who are you?" Talia finally reached Tenebrea and asked, as she had never felt telepathy.

"I am Tenebrea. Queen of the vampires," She said confidently.

Talia burst into laughter. "You? The queen of the vampires? You're at the intermediate red rank. I know there are gold-ranked beings in the vampire race; why would they let you rule?" Talia said confidently

"Wow, you have a mouth on you." Tenebrea was surprised, as the fallen girl did not seem to fear her.

"These are my disciples. Do you confidently think you can take any of them on?" Talia looked at Julius and Scarlet, who released their auras. She felt if she fought Scarlet, it would end in a stalemate, but if she fought Julius, the result was not sure.

"How did an intermediate red rank find the resources to train disciples this strong?"

"First of all, like I said, I am the queen of the vampires. The resources I have are nearly unlimited. Secondly, they have strong potential just like you, and the third is the experience I have. I was alive even before the mad king, your great-grandfather, ruled."

"That's impossible. I know vampires are immortal, but it is said their immortality isn't true immortality. They age very slowly, so they have a lifespan of about five thousand years." Talia was baffled.

Well, yes, the vampires hibernate so they don't exhaust their long lives, but that was because I was incapacitated. I am the sovereign of the vampires. As long as I live, my people will not die. That is just the law." Tenebrea's aura rose to the extent that it was stronger than Anastasia's own. The fallen that were spectating and the elders felt like they were suffocating under the ether aura that just appeared out of nowhere. The battle that was ongoing had stopped. Tenebrea sucked in her aura, and everyone felt relieved.

The head elder looked in the direction of the backstage area where Tenebrea was, and he gulped in fear. He knew that wasn't Anastasia's aura, as it wouldn't make him feel like a mouse facing a lion. It felt like the aura of a god.

"So with that aura you felt, do you still disagree with us taking the deal?" He asked. When he came to talk about Tenebrea's deal, some elders disagreed strongly.

"We should give the girl to her."

"She is just one person. She will be the opening of a very good friendship."

"Yes. Let's ally with the vampires."

Now all the elders agreed in fear of facing that aura again.

Back where Tenebrea was talking to Talia

"So do you understand now, girl?" Tenebrea looked at Talia like she was just a child.

Talia, who was kneeling due to the aura, nodded weakly.

Tenebrea smiled. "Take me as your master, and you will be more than capable of releasing ten times the amount of that aura I just released." The carrot-and-stick method always worked.

Talia looked up weakly and was surprised. "Why me?"

"Because I know you will be able to achieve great things. I just want to guide you there faster."

Talia thought for a moment and said, Greetings, Master."

"Haha, another one." Tenebrea lost her oppressive air and soon returned to looking like a mischievous teenager.

"Okay, rest up here. Those farts are not going to dare come here even if they don't agree with my decision." Tenebrea patted Talia and went back to her seat to relax.

Talia was still a bit confused, but she still walked to Julius and the rest.

"Hello, I am Julius. Master's second disciple, so I am like your senior brother," Julius puffed his chest.

Talia looked at the somewhat skinny barbarian but still acknowledged and greeted him.

Julius then introduced her to Scarlet. "She is Scarlet. She was the first disciple that Master took, so she's our Senior Sister. She seems cold, but she's quite friendly once you get to know her." Scarlet looked at Julius and then Talia. She nodded and looked back at the match that was going on.

"And finally, this is Davina. She isn't really a disciple; she is more of a student, but Master still treats her really well." Davina shook Talia's hands with a smile.

Talia managed to catch the gaze of the beautiful woman standing directly behind Tenebrea and inquired "Who is she?"

Oh, that is Anastasia. She is Master's aide, but she takes care of us too." Anastasia bowed at Talia, as she was now her Queen's disciple.

Maverick grunted as he felt he was neglected. Talia looked at the 2-meter hog that was lying down and looked at Julius in disdain.

Oh, how can I forget you? I was saving you for last. This is Maverick, my mount, and my best friend." Maverick shot Talia an upward nod like he was saying, "What's up?"

Talia was surprised once again and almost burst into laughter for the first time. She felt this bunch was very odd, but now there was nothing to do; she was now part of them. She might as well fit in.

Talia was strong-headed and very troublesome as a child, but after the death of her father, She felt it was all the fault of the fallen, as they were biased against the descendants of the Mad King and therefore sent him on a suicide mission.

Hence, she developed a cold persona so at least they would feel threatened by the air she gave off, and it worked, but she was later imprisoned when she exploded after hearing a member of the fallen insult her father's name, the name Armstrong.

Now that she was free from all that, she could shape her life however she wanted. She would make her father proud, and her name, Armstrong, will be what people think about when they think about the Fallen.

She smiled as she had such thoughts and looked forward to watching the end of the battle.

WOW, THAT WAS QUITE THE BATTLE, AND IF YOU DIDN'T SEE IT, I FEEL BAD FOR YOU. FOR OUR NEXT BATTLE, WE HAVE A VAMPIRE, ONE OF THE TWO VAMPIRES THAT WILL FIGHT IN OUR COLISEUM TODAY, SCARLET!"
