Bab 64: Chapter 64: Reverse Empress
With her anger palpable, I half-expected her to leap at me herself. However, instead of facing me directly, she snapped her fingers, summoning dozens of decently strong tier 3 vampires to her aid. A quick use of Scrutinize allowed me to assess their capabilities, determining that they were not nearly as dangerous as Hierophant.
In response, I flicked my finger, and hundreds of chains of ice emerged all around me, lashing out at the vampires. Though they were swift in their attempts to dodge, it only took one mistake for them to find themselves ensnared, their limbs torn off like dolls in a child's hands. I had plans for them, however, and left them on the ground, unable to resist as the cold tightened around them, accompanied by the wither effect.
*No more games 'Empress' face me* The scene unfolded with a sense of surrealism, the words written out were normal except for "Empress," which had large quotation marks around it, directed towards the frozen and unsure figure of the Empress before me. She seemed to be preparing to flee, but I would never allow her to escape. With slow, deliberate steps, I began to march towards her, leaving her to do nothing but make a desperate sprint away towards the exit of the chamber. Her facade of elegance and command crumbled.
*Oh come back my lady* With a single stride, I blurred and appeared in front of the Empress, blocking her path of escape. However, my satisfaction was short-lived as she promptly went invisible. Undeterred, I swiftly countered her move with an activation of Frost Breath, filling the area with a thick smog of cold. Occasional black highlights indicated the withering effects taking hold within the freezing mist.
"AAAAAAAH MY EYE IT HURTS AAAAAAHH!" The agonized screams pierced the air as the Empress reappeared right in front of the door to the chamber. Her body was now covered in a thin layer of frost, and the withering effect of the attack was evident as it slowly ate away at her flesh. Despite her superior healing ability compared to her lesser kin, the process was agonizingly slow for her, prolonging the excruciating sensation of her body being consumed.
It was genuinely saddening to witness her writhe and struggle in pain, so I approached her, willing the effects of the magic to disappear. As I crouched down to look at her panting face, now completely visible after she ripped off the scarf during her agonizing screams, I couldn't help but notice her beauty. Despite the damage done by the withering effect to her eyes, she still possessed a striking appearance.
"Please don't kill me," she pleaded, her voice barely a whisper as she sensed me crouching there. However, her words fell on deaf ears as I waited for her eyes to completely heal. When they did, their bright blue color revealing her fear. But beneath that fear, there was something else—a defiance that I didn't like.
*Serve or Die* As her defiance seemed to grow with my demand, something I could never accept, I acted swiftly. Chains materialized around her neck, pulling her to the ground, while in my hand, a massive ice axe formed. With grim determination, I lined it up with her neck as she screamed and pleaded, shifting from defiant words to desperate bargaining.
"You can't do this!" she screamed, her voice filled with panic. Then, her tone changed to one of negotiation. "Wait, we can make a deal! I will serve!"
But my resolve remained firm. With the axe raised above my head, her pleas barely registered as it came down towards her neck stopping just short of finishing the job.
