Capítulo 117: Chapter 116

[Third Person's PoV] 

Yukime looked at Shadow excitedly. "I see, so you go by a new name now, huh? So you're Shadow."

She smiled warmly towards him. "So it was you who have been saving some of my girls. You never change."

"Oi! Old hag, you know this fellow? You seem happy to see him," Juggernaut asked, curious to know about the man who was able to stop both of their attacks with a finger.

Yukime nodded her head. "Heard about him as well. He is the man who could destroy a single city with a wave of his hand if he so much pleased. He's Shadow, the leader of a mysterious organization that no one really knows anything about."

"I see… I thought the rumors of him were a bit exaggerated, but to be able to stop my attack like that… that just means I can't stand still and let this Shadow get ahead of us. I'm going to be the one that's going to defeat the Blood Queen," Juggernaut announced, stepping forwards towards the entrances of the Crimson.

Guarding the entrance was a former captain of Knights, turned rogue due to his large bloodlust. He was wearing a white cloth that covered his entire body with a straight katana with bandages for a handle.

"I gained the moniker of White Demon–" Juggernaut couldn't care less as he charged ahead.

"Coming through!"

The 'White Demon' stood there awkwardly as he realized who Juggernaut was, so he knew he couldn't do anything and decided to let him pass without any trouble.

Yukime looked towards Shadow with a seductive smile. "I hope we can get to talking later so I can properly thank you for all your help. Now if you excuse me, I have things to do."

She walked past the 'White Demon' while giving him a cold look, covering half her face with her metal fan, which caused him to shrink back in fear, realizing who Yukime was as well.

'Your daughter has grown, hasn't she, Yukihime?' Shadow conversed with his shadow soldiers as he walked towards the Crimson Tower as well.

'Yes, she has. She already has 9 tails. She must have worked really hard. I'm proud of her, my liege,' Yukihime responded.

The 'White Demon' grinned with bloodlust, ready to swing his sword as he thought he didn't have to worry about Shadow.

As Shadow walked right past him, he thought Shadow was being arrogant, but his chest lifted upwards slightly. His body dropped to the ground with a thud, and in his place stood a grim reaper-looking shadow wielding the same weapon the 'White Demon' was holding.

The reaper-looking Shadow soldier immediately sank into Shadow's shadow without much thought.

Shadow then entered the Tower without any obstacles, which caused him to smirk.

Adelphi and Mary burst through a wall, revealing Beta in a library, scrimmaging through the books with other Shadow Garden members in higher places doing the same, conducting their research.

"Beta," Adelphi called out, nodding to her, to which Beta nodded right back.

"You brought company," Beta said, looking at Mary. "If it isn't the 'oldest' Vampire hunter."

Mary gave her an awkward expression. "Does everyone in your organization just know who I am?"

"No, some can't be bothered. The only reason why I know is because I'm personally researching vampires and the progenitor blood. Do you know of it?"

"For what reason would you need the progenitor's blood?" Mary asked suspiciously, with narrow eyes.

"We believe that there is a link between the blood of your Progenitor and Possession," Beta explained while flipping the pages of her book.

"What you just said could be considered blasphemy against the progenitor," Mary growled.

Beta shrugged her shoulders. "Why should I care? She isn't my progenitor. Anyways, shouldn't you be heading up to stop the resurrection upstairs?"

"My job was only to guide her towards the Crimson Tower," Adelphi said, about to laze around and wait until Shadow was done.

To which Beta shook her head. "If the master wanted her here, it's for a reason. So you should see it through to the end and deliver her to him personally on the top floor where he most likely is waiting," Beta instructed with a serious expression, looking at Adelphi in her eyes.

She let out a sigh as she nodded in understanding. "Let's go," Adelphi said towards Mary with a serious expression.

Mary didn't like appearing like a burden and looked displeased with the way they were treating her.

"I can take care of myself just fine, you know…" She said with a serious expression.

"Uh huh," Adelphi plainly replied as they went up the stairs, where they would occasionally meet vampires.

Adelphi surrounded her sword in flames before she disappeared and reappeared with all their heads in her hands, gripping them by their hair and throwing them on the floor.

"Let's continue," Adelphi said as they continued climbing, meanwhile, Mary looked at Adelphi's back in disbelief.

'Strong, very strong, and it looks like she was taking orders from that Beta girl… which means she's stronger, but then… who do they serve? I can't even fathom what type of being is able to control these girls and make them obey him,' Mary thought as they made it towards the next floor, where they saw Juggernaut slash a vampire in half with a heavy sword.

Juggernaut then noticed the company and smirked with a battlelust towards them. "You two sure as heck don't look like vampires, but I guess you'll do just fine for a bit."

Adelphi sighed as she disappeared where she stood and appeared before Juggernaut. But before she could do any damage, Juggernaut blocked her sword with his, causing sparks to fly between them.

Adelphi's sword blurred as she started swinging it and slashing it towards Juggernaut with the intention to kill.

Juggernaut, using his instinct, would block it and try to counter it.

Mary was about to join, but Adelphi stopped her. "Stay out of this."

Lightning flashed in Adelphi's eyes as her figure blurred. She left behind a light trail as she ran past Juggernaut, who blocked her blow with his sword purely instinctively. More and more trails started appearing as a crack appeared on his sword.

He tried to swing his sword and strike Adelphi with a wicked grin, but Adelphi was simply too fast. All his sword ended up doing was destroying the ground where they once stood.

Adelphi increased her speed and started drawing blood from him before he grabbed his sword with both hands and started spinning in circles. Adelphi flipped into the air, causing Juggernaut to miss before she landed right on his blade and thrust her blade forward, impaling Juggernaut right through his glabella. As her sword went through, Juggernaut was frozen in fear as he knew his life came to an end. 

Before he could utter any last words, Adelphi sent a bolt of lightning through his sword and right into his brain, frying it completely until there was no recovery.

Adelphi took her sword out and flicked the blood off before positioning it to her side. She turned towards the frozen Mary and asked, "Well, what are you waiting for? Let's go," before walking away. Mary shook her head and sighed before following closely behind.

************************************

[Third Person's PoV]

Shadow slowly walked through a dark corridor with heavy steps, causing the vampires to run in fear.

"Iron, take care of them for me," Shadow commanded coldly. With a battle cry, the surrounding vampires all charged towards Iron as he provoked them with his ability, making him the sole target.

Iron blocked with his shield as the vampires tried to attack him with their long claws before he swung his axe, splitting them in half. A large smile adorned Iron's face as he swung his axe and bashed his shield wildly, causing body parts and blood to fly everywhere.

While Iron was having his fun, Shadow was enjoying himself as well. "Even though I don't need it, it's always nice to see treasures safely tucked away for me to simply take. So, don't mind if I do," Shadow smirked before engulfing the mountain of gold coins and jewelry.

After he finished packing everything into his shadow, Iron knelt down by the door entrance, presenting Shadow with a mountain of corpses and body parts.

Shadow immediately understood and patted Iron's shoulder. "Thank you for your offering after a great battle. I appreciate it."

Iron beamed and started rubbing his eyes with his forearm as he shed manly tears, happy to be praised by his lord.

"Arise," Shadow commanded in a deep voice. Shadow beings wearing suits with bat wings tucked away behind them appeared and knelt down in small groups before sinking into his shadow.

Shadow slowly walked towards the top of the tower where he found Crimson, a man with blood-red hair, the leader of the tower, talking to himself while looking out the window.

"The time has finally come. The moon is dyed a beautiful red. I can feel my strength rising. The sacrifice preparations are complete. Taking the only piece of hers that hasn't died, her heart, and implanting it into a fresh body. The strongest progenitor, Elisabeth, shall be revived!"

'Beru, I promised you a fight before, right? Then your time is here. Enjoy yourself.'

"SSSSSKKKKKRRRRRRR!" Beru yelled out from the shadow, startling Crimson as he wasn't expecting Beru's cries.

'Thank you, my liege, for this wonderful meal you have bestowed upon your servant!'

Before Crimson had a chance to say anything, Beru started slashing his claws all over Crimson's body.

"Wait!" He cried out desperately as his regenerative abilities tried to keep up with Beru's assault.

Beru's swipes were so fearsome that the walls behind Crimson started breaking apart, exposing the outside due to Beru accidentally generating slash marks from the force.

To end it all, Beru disappeared and reappeared behind Crimson, his claw exiting Crimson's chest while holding his heart.

Beru then opened his mandibles and ripped Crimson's head off his neck, not giving him a chance to cry out in pain or for help.

"Arise," Shadow commanded once more, causing a much buffer vampire compared to the others to appear. He appeared more sophisticated as he knelt on one knee with a hand on his chest, awaiting Shadow's order, while his former vessel crumbled into a million pieces and scattered across the wind.

"I'll name you Guy," Shadow smirked, knowing he would probably be the only one who understood his reference.

Guy bowed his head in acceptance before sinking into Shadow's shadow. Shadow then recalled Beru before completely erasing his presence. Not even the girls who were connected to him would be able to detect him unless he wanted them to.

He watched as the heart implanted into the sacrifice started pulsating with power before hearing the door slam open with a large thud, inwardly sighing at the way Adelphi did things.

Mary was shocked and worried by how unworried Adelphi was towards her surroundings and opponents. They both then realized that they were alone in the room, confusing them both.

"Did he already take care of everything else?" she muttered before turning towards Mary and sighing, "It looks like we came for nothing."

And like always, Adelphi failed to take notice of her surroundings as the sacrifice suddenly rose from the ground and plunged his hand into her chest, taking her by complete surprise.

'Doesn't she ever learn? This has been a weakness of hers since she was little. She had grown too confident it seems after beating Juggernaut and believed that I would save her if something happened to her, which she isn't totally wrong. But still, that doesn't give her the excuse to be reckless... Oh right, she's immortal now. I guess that's why she's being reckless, but I still stand my case. That's no excuse for her to be getting injured, Shadow inwardly reprimanded.

The sacrifice's body was soon surrounded by the heart's power, causing it to dispel, exposing Elisabeth.

Elisabeth levitated Adelphi's body, even though she's immortal, she was unconscious due to the shock of having a hand run through her chest. Elisabeth plunged her fangs onto Adelphi's neck and started siphoning blood.

Beta appeared from behind Elizabeth's shadow and cut off her head, causing it to spin in the air and release Adelphi, whom Rose, also known as number 670, caught. From Elizabeth's neck, blood shot up and grabbed hold of her head before bringing it down and reconnecting it to her neck.

They made sure Adelphi was okay and realized that she would wake up in a few seconds as her wounds were already starting to close.

Beta gathered wind mana around her sword, making it faster and sharper, creating more cuts on Elisabeth's body. Elisabeth grew enraged and conjured a ball of blood, which she used to create sharp needles and sent them flying everywhere.

Beta rushed towards everyone and created a wind barrier around them, blocking the needles.

"She doesn't seem too hard to defeat," Beta said casually before transforming her sword into a bow.

"No," Mary muttered, "It's impossible. She gets really cranky when she's woken up. She's going to be much more difficult to beat."

Beta didn't say anything and just gave her a side eye before ignoring her. Elisabeth then started controlling the blood and created a dress made from it, creating a grotesque but undoubtedly beautiful image.

"Hope I'm not too late to the party," Yukime said, announcing her presence with a smirk as she hid her face behind her fan.

Beta ignored them and conjured an arrow made out of water, with the tip spinning to appear as a drill. As she shot it towards Elisabeth, she conjured a shield made from blood and tried to block it, but the shield soon began to crack due to its rotation.

As the shield cracked, Elisabeth moved out of the way, dodging it, before dodging three more arrows made entirely out of flames. Rose then appeared and started swinging her sword with precision. As she cut her, Elisabeth turned into a blood-red mist, causing them to not do any damage.

Yukime then approached from the air, hiding herself using illusions, and tried to injure Elisabeth using foxfire, which Elisabeth blocked with her blood. She then gathered more blood and compressed it while making it longer, causing Mary to scream, "DODGE IT!"

meanwhile…

Claire appeared in a white room with no space and saw a woman with dark violet-purple hair. She wore a black and purple dress and softly massaged her bulging stomach as she approached her.

Claire groaned as she felt a sting from her hand, "What's this? Am I suffering from possession again? I thought Cid cleared it?"

"And he did," Aurora responded with a smile. "What you are experiencing is different from possession. You have three different types of blood flowing through your system right now, which is making it difficult for you to control. Here, let me help you," she said as her finger glowed with her magic power.

She drew a magic circle that appeared on the back of her palm. "This shall help you until you learn to control it on your own. Due to this blood flowing through you, nothing life-threatening should happen, but you will always be in constant agony, which I doubt is something you want."

"I see… thank you," Claire said.

"Things are getting pretty interesting out there. I want to participate myself, so I'll be borrowing your body for a bit if you don't mind."

"Just who are you, and why are you helping me out?" Claire asked with a serious expression.

Aurora simply rubbed her stomach and smiled, "You can say I'm your sister-in-law in a sort of way."

Claire's eyes bulged out of their sockets as her mouth hung open.

"WHAAA—"

As soon as Aurora took over Claire's body, her stomach started bulging even though there was nothing inside. Suddenly, they all felt a pressure that forced everyone to kneel and start breathing heavily, except for Aurora, who started pouting upon realizing what happened. Even Elisabeth was on her hands and knees in confusion, unsure.

But they all knew one thing: whoever was doing it was angry, as indicated by the darkening clouds and the sound of lightning.

Even Beta was on one knee, breathing heavily. 'Master… Master is angry. Who could have done it? I haven't seen or felt Master so angry before. I can even feel it through our connection. Is it because I failed to keep Claire safe, or is it because she's hurt?'

Beta wasn't the only one who felt his anger through their connection; the others felt it too. They immediately dropped what they were doing and all dropped to their shadows with their utmost serious expression. When they appeared, they felt their Master's anger and power pressing down on them, causing them to shake and kneel as well. They were too scared to look up.

They all just had one thought that they shared together.

'Just what could have made Master this angry?'

"Aurora…" Shadow's deep voice resounded throughout the area, in a low and slow manner, but everyone could detect the hidden fury behind them.

"Did you seriously plan on fighting while carrying our child in your stomach…"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

All seven of the original Shadow Garden members snapped their heads up towards them with widened eyes and a look of disbelief, while their mouths slowly opened.

"WWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!" All seven screamed, with the others not being far behind.
