Chapter 99: The Vampire Princess

"That's mine..."

Seeing the Black Abyss in Theresa's hand and hearing her shameless claim, the vampire couldn't help but wonder: How could such a cute young girl say something like that?

Nun Miya grew increasingly agitated. She would rather die than let this Black Abyss be taken away, because...

"Yours? Does it answer to your call? Besides, anything that comes into my hands naturally belongs to the adorable Theresa."

As she spoke, Theresa gestured with the Black Abyss in a satisfied manner.

"Insolent!"

The nun couldn't endure it any longer. She lunged at Theresa, reaching for the Black Abyss held by the vampire princess.

Yet, despite her delicate and petite appearance, Theresa possessed strength far beyond her physical frame. As the charging nun approached, she delivered a merciless kick without hesitation.

The Luna Kindred, bearing the genes of an imperial-grade Honkai Beast, was now manifested in this SSS-rank Valkyrie princess.

The swift kick caught Miya completely off guard, sending her flying from the black dragon's back.

Without concern for her fate, Theresa vanished the Black Abyss into her account inventory.

Though the Black Abyss wielded the supreme power of "decomposition," Theresa - having never touched it before - couldn't activate its true potential. Moreover, she couldn't guarantee whether the divine key would accept her as its master.

Only those acknowledged by the divine key could unleash its true power.

Gazing at the Black Abyss in her inventory, Theresa felt satisfied. Even without finding the White Flower, the Black Abyss remained a top-tier artifact. The power to decompose all matter could prove useful in countless situations.

After securing the Black Abyss, Theresa finally picked up the Blood Cross and walked to the black dragon's head.

Looking down at Schicksal headquarters, she saw it suffering unprecedented destruction. But this was still far from enough, as the main quest remained incomplete.

So...

"Inky, continue! Destroy the buildings below."

Theresa held the double-edged sword formed from the Blood Cross, gazing downward. Even if this place was destroyed, it wouldn't concern her. She'd let Otto clean up the mess later.

After all, it would only take a few years to rebuild anyway.

"Yes, master!"

Following Theresa's command, the black dragon plunged downward, its four massive claws relentlessly demolishing buildings and soldiers below.

As Theresa stood atop the dragon's head, she resembled a majestic dragon knight, exuding awe-inspiring authority.

The black dragon closed in on the tallest structure at Schicksal's headquarters—a skyscraper dozens of meters high, towering over even the massive dragon itself.

Without hesitation, the black dragon charged toward the building.

Just as it neared the structure, an invisible energy barrier materialized around the entire edifice, repelling the dragon with a forceful rebound.

Four Valkyries materialized in mid-air before the black dragon, their figures imposing and formidable.

These four Valkyries were peak A-rank warriors, their coordinated teamwork granting them S-rank capabilities.

Through some unknown method, they also possessed the ability to fly freely, their power surpassing even some S-rank Valkyries.

They represented one of Schicksal's hidden trump cards.

As the four Valkyries closed in, the black dragon unleashed a blast of dragon breath. The Valkyries evaded effortlessly, leaving the attack to dissipate harmlessly.

As the Valkyries approached, the dragon's massive claws swiped at them like insects.

Yet... these four Valkyries possessed extraordinary agility, evading the black dragon's claws with perfect precision to land on its body.

"I smell it! Your blood... it's absolutely delicious! Offer me your blood! I'll drain you dry!"

Theresa stood atop the black dragon's head, facing the four Valkyries. Far from fear, she wore a look of exhilaration, her adorable little fangs peeking out as she addressed them.

With these words, Theresa swung her Tainted Blades at the nearest Valkyrie.

The Valkyrie countered with her Knight's Great Sword, striking back at Theresa.

"Heretic, accept judgment!"

The Valkyrie's Great Sword blazed with radiant light as it clashed against Theresa's blades.

In the next instant, the Valkyrie felt her weapon slip from her grasp, nearly losing her footing.

Looking at her shattered Knight Great Sword, the Valkyrie felt utterly bewildered. Her weapon had been forged from rare metals and materials harvested from Emperor-grade Honkai Beasts, making it one of the world's premier weapons.

Yet... upon touching the vampire's crimson blades, it was instantly severed.

This...

"Blood... I must drink blood..."

With her weapon destroyed, the Valkyrie was effectively incapacitated.

Just as Theresa was about to taste the Valkyrie's blood, three more Valkyries arrived simultaneously. Theresa reluctantly abandoned her bloodlust, casting an impatient glance at the fallen warrior.

"You wretched insects! You've angered the noble Vampire Princess!"

As she spoke, her twin blades transformed into a massive crimson axe - the Axe of the Fallen. With a single swing, Theresa's axe struck the Great Sword of one of the arriving Valkyries.

The Valkyrie's Great Sword was cleaved in two by the Axe of the Fallen's blade, sending the warrior flying from the sheer force of the impact.

The Vampire Princess's weapon was forged from massive quantities of soulium and three Emperor-grade Honkai Beast cores.

To put it simply, even the soulium alone... the most elite metal in the Honkai World, as rare as vibranium in the Marvel universe...

It was beyond what any weapon of this era could withstand.

As for Schicksal now, whether they had soulium or not was uncertain. Even if they did, it would be in limited quantities.

Clearly, the four Valkyries' weapons before them weren't made of soulium. Against Theresa's weapon, their blades proved utterly powerless.

Not even materials from Emperor-grade Honkai Beasts could withstand the might of soulium.

With this overwhelming advantage in weaponry alone, the four Valkyries were swiftly defeated.

Theresa, wielding the Axe of the Fallen, quickly overpowered the Valkyries before her. However, she didn't kill them - instead, she completely stripped them of their ability to resist.
