As we flew towards the nearby Resistance Base that was being invaded, the Centaur Knights led by Agamocles followed us with their weapons raised.
Even though it was early in the morning, the sky seemed almost as dark a night, due to the constant ice storms, the light of the sun barely enters the Kingdom. The citizens were hiding inside of their houses as they saw the brave Centaur Knights rushing towards the small Resistance base.
By giving Artifacts made by myself that can let others use [Levitate], the Twin Centaur Girls, and some of my wives who can't or don't have this Skill were able to fly through the skies, Jerold, the Black Cat was behind us, covering our backs.
Suddenly, as Rimuru talked to me about a new cupcake recipe, I felt a powerful bloodthirst, however, this feeling quickly multiplied… several times over.
"More Vampires! They're lurking around, get ready!" I shouted, alerting the Centaurs down below, as they quickly activated their Skills and Technique, granting protection and increased defenses over their bodies.
Clash! Slash!
Suddenly, a group of ten Vampires emerged from the shadows beneath the houses and roofs, attacking the Centaurs, due to their Auras and powers, they seemed like small fry led by one mediumly strong Vampire, although this was enough to easily massacre these weaklings, Agamocles was putting on a good fight.
I let the Twin Sisters assist them alongside Jerold, while I went with my wives towards the Resistance Base, which was being raided by bandits as a merciless slaughter unfolded. Countless pieces of meat, broken bones, and blood painted the white snow… The smell was certainly delicious.
I sent Nixephine and Nefertiti towards the Resistance base, as they entered and began to tear apart the Vampires who mercilessly ate the centaurs inside, a mildly strong one who seemed to be Agamocles younger brother was holding on his own against a scarlet-haired Vampire, but slipped off his hooves and slowed down his movements, giving the Vampire an opening to finish him off…
However, just at this moment, Nefertiti and Nixephine appeared, attacking the Vampire and slicing off its arms before it could behead the young centaur boy with its long charcoal-colored nails.
"Gyaaaaaaah! W-Who are you…?! What?! My arms…!"
The young centaur boy raised his sword, using this moment to release a powerful Sword Technique, slicing off the Vampire's head.
"Haah… An Arachne and a Beast Woman… are you the witches that are supporting the Twin Princesses? You have saved my life… My name is-"
"There is no time to speak, boy if you want to keep your life intact, begin killing Vampires," Said Nefertiti, with a cold tone, as she healed the boy wounds and gave him a cold glance, however, this seemed to work the opposite as she intended, making the boy blush in embarrassment over her beauty.
"Y-Yes…! I will!"
I used my flesh bats to glance at these events, who had infiltrated the Resistance Base and gave me a full view of what was happening inside, no weird Vampires like the one from yesterday seemed to be inside the base, so it was safe to leave the slaughter to my two wives, so they can both gather a lot of Experience Points. Vampires give a high amount of EXP.
Just as I expected the real Vampires were outside, waiting for me…
"Teehe~ Hello there~," Said a young-looking Vampire girl, with a petite and small body, wearing a large gothic dress with dark and red colors, her hair was of a darker shade of purple than me… She was also surrounded by strange magical threads and had a puppet resembling a baby on her hands.
"GUUOOOOHHH…"
There was also a giant Ogre, who had bat wings on its back and crab-like claws as hands, it exuded a powerful pressure and was a Vampire despite its aberrant appearance, its head, which was grotesque and disfigured, was covered by a large black helmet with several spikes.
The giant Ogre Vampire, who resembled an experiment made by Doctor Frankenstein, seemed to be a Vampire of its own, but it obeyed the little Vampire girl.
"Frank~ They're here, aren't you happy~? We can all finally play around~!" Said the Vampire girl, as she suddenly released a powerful Aura, resembling a phantasmagoric presence, her threads moved swiftly through the area that surrounded her and controlled the Vampires around her like puppets.
"More crazed Vampires… are you all insane?"
"Insane~? I am perfectly sane, irregular-chan!"
While being controlled by her threads, the Vampire's physical abilities were enhanced, the same happened to the one she named Frank, who, in less than a second, flew towards us with its bat wings, which extended widely and shined in a bright red.
Brontes and Nesiphae confronted the Ogre Vampire and part of the controlled Puppet Vampires, while Rimuru, Zehe, and Alice helped me out to take care of the Vampires at our side and the little girl.
The five Vampires that I converted this morning, led by Caedmon and Cassandra, were fighting the hordes of weak Vampires that came from our back, having all of their hands busy.
"Irregular-chan~ LET'S PLAY, SHALL WE?!"
"Stop calling me irregular, little girl…"
"Little girl? Ohoho~ Do I look so young? My, my~ let me tell you that I am over two hundred years old!"
"Thanks for telling me your age, that will make it easier to kill and eat you, I got my own kids, and it feels weird to kill little children now… but if you're just a crazed old hag…"
"C-CRAZED OLD HAG?! EAT ME…?! HAHAHA! Such insolence! Lady Aleksandra was right, you just deserve to die, irregular! Your very existence is a threat to our plans! Puppets, torn her body apart until only a bloody pulp is left~!"
The little Vampire girl shouted as if she were a crazed girl, extending her threads and controlling more Vampires, who flew towards us with immense speed and force.
Five Vampires, who had changed into giants clashed against Rimuru, to only be converted into minced meat by her barrage of Solidified Magic Projectiles, which shined in several bright colors, her Aura expanded as well, enhancing her magic capabilities.
Zehe, who was at my side, summoned her giant Shadow Tentacles and began to slap and strangle the Vampires and puppet monster that started to appear from the little Vampire's Aura domain.
Suddenly, as the little girl created more puppets, her Aura enclosed all of us in its own space, Frank, the Ogre Vampire who was vigorously fighting toe to toe with Brontes and Nesiphae, laughed crazily.
"BAHAHAHA! GUOOONN…!"
As Brontes was about to release a powerful smash from her thunder-enhanced Club, the Ogre turned into a ghost and disappeared…
The same began to happen to all of the Vampires, they all turned into a ghost, evading all of our physical attacks, and even some of our magic.
"Welcome to My World! The World of Ghosts~! Bufufufufufu! Let's play! Let's play!"
The little girl began to devour the Vampires that had turned into Ghosts while feeding the Ogre some of them as well, the two began to grow stronger and stronger, as if they were two phantoms…
As she did, she used her threads as if they were tentacles, slapping and trying to entangle us, however, I decided to step in, expanding my Aura and instantly pressuring the two Vampires, their bodies stiffened as they vomited blood.
Small spheres made out of Chaos Attribute Magic rushed in, penetrating their bodies, leaving bloody holes while also making their bodies twist around, even if they were into phantasmagoric forms.
Brontes and Nesiphae appeared behind the Ogre Vampire, using their enhanced weapons with magic, crushing its back and launching him through space.
"GUOOOOOOOONNN…!"
It seems that they intended to trap us in here, boost their strength, and then destroy us one-sidedly.
However, we had already fought Ghosts and Phantoms before, and we had managed to use our magic to damage their ethereal bodies.
Rimuru used created flashing lights spheres, as they drilled on the bodies of the ghost and phantom Vampires, making them dissipate and explode one by one.
"Such weaklings, guu… It was way entertaining in the dungeon than in the outside world, so lame, guuu…" She said, as she boringly killed the ghost Vampires.
The Ogre Vampire extended its giant's claws, which had turned blue-colored and released soul-consuming blue flames, that were evaded by Brontes and Nesiphae. Nesiphae used her large ax to slice off the Ogre's arm, while Brontes closed into its helmet-protected head, smashing it with the incredible titanic strength of her muscular body.
CLASH!
Meanwhile, I used my Calamity Dragon Armor and my body as a weapon, releasing powerful attacks towards the Vampires that came my way, closing in towards the struggling little Vampire girl. My Aura, which had Ghost Devouring effects was particularly effective against her now that she turned into a semi-ethereal form.
"Gaaaaahh…! W-What kind of Aura is that?! I-Irregular-chan...! DIEEEE!"
Her puppets started to converge together alongside the ghost Vampires, creating a large giant that protected the girl from any harm and used its arms to pulverize us.
However, more spheres of Chaos Attribute were released from my hands, twisting and making the giant phantom arms explode, the pieces dissipated into magic energy.
"W-What kind of magic is that?! Aleksandra never told me about this! You were supposed to be a measly irregular…! Will I really… have to use it?!"
The little girl was already frustrated as she vomited blood constantly due to the damaging pressure of my Aura, just by existing I was already slowly killing her.
Zehe and Alice appeared behind her as they used their magic to create a powerful dark-colored lightning bolt, directly hitting the head of the phantom giant and the little Vampire's entire body.
ZAP!
"GYAAAAAHHHH…!"
However, just as I thought before she could be fried alive, she activated a new and strange power that she was holding back into, the same was for the Ogre, whose entire body was sliced apart and smashed, with barely any vitality left…
The two bodies shined brightly, Divine Energy resurged from them and I called on my wives to regroup, Divine Energy was dangerous to be close to, as it could easily consume a mortal's body.
"Honey… is this the Divine Energy that you talked about before?" Asked Zehe.
"Guu! This same energy! I knew that they were going to use it for something!"
"It was a good idea that we approached them slowly without trying to kill them right away, if we were to be surrounded by those auras, our bodies would have received a high amount of damage…" Said Brontes.
The little Vampire girl body, which was completely burned, regenerated completely as her purple hair grew bigger, her eyes became bigger as well, shining brightly in gold light, as she gained three more golden eyes in her forehead.
The Ogre became a Titan, of over sixty meters tall, its hands became massive claws and its wings resembled those of Athos, its entire skin was covered in crimson scales, its head was also covered in them and large white horns.
"To think that you made us go as far as to activate our trump cards! But this is where you're done for, irregular chan~!" Said the recovered young Vampire, her entire body was covered in her purple hair, and her golden eyes shined brighter, like lamps in the middle of a night.
"GUOOOOOOOONNN…!" Shouted the giant, exuding a blazing aura from its body…
It was as if they had gained new life and even evolved… completely different than their former selves, just like that Elf Vampire who became a giant mass of muscles, the little Vampire gained eyes and long hair, while the Ogre gained a giant size and draconic features, both exuded high quantities of Divine Energy, barely being able to control it.
As they talked, I used my Enchantments on my wives as well as myself, boosting all of our stats, and then I covered everyone with several magic shields, Heavenly Gemstone Tattoos and Heavenly Sand of Recovery.
"Charming Tower, Charming Tower, Charming Tower!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A pinkish smoke covered the Domain of the Vampire Girl, as giant towers showed up out of thin air…
"W-What?!
"GUOO-"
