Chapter 103: with translation of chapter title

The pearl-shell Tooth Blood Vampire and Dark Kiva once again locked eyes.

Unlike the usual pearl-shell Tooth Blood Vampire form that Zhenye assumes, this time her originally pale pink exterior turned completely red, the power of boiling bloodline.

Zhenye became violent, pearls began to constantly condense in the air, and at the same time a streak of blood color burst forth.

Everything around was dyed a bloody red, and an enormous moon slowly rose behind Zhenye, the bright moonlight flashing by.

All the pearls filling the sky turned blood-red, then like a blood river they encircled Zhenye.

It formed a perfect circle, the symbol of Evolution; at this moment she burned her Queen bloodline to the fullest, her power finally sublimated, and now she finally had the qualifications to fight King.

"Roar!" the blood-red pearl-shell Tooth Blood Vampire let out a huge roar like a dragon yet not a dragon, like a beast yet not a beast.

And the beautiful pearls within the blood river still twitched slightly; they were originally made of scattered tiny particles, and repairing them was quite easy.

Looking at Zhenye, who had returned to human form and whose bloodline had completely drained away.

"Saying that, King vanished."

The blood bats flowing from her left and right sides boomed, and the sky‑shooting flames instantly exploded.

"No, the bloodline inside me is almost exhausted; I no longer have the qualifications to be Queen." Zhenye said softly.

A lightning‑wrapped tornado, when it lunged at Zhenye, had become a gigantic blood bat filled with destructive power.

King's eyes held a hint of pity; no one knew better than he what fate awaited a powerless Tooth Blood Vampire.

Within the Lost Forest, Tooth Blood Vampires cannot assume monster form—not even the Queen—but Zhenye now is vastly different from before.

It's merely being used as a rope now.

King spread his hands, and the black‑red domain on his body burst outward, his power beginning to explode.

King, however, used no weapon, relying solely on Dark Kiva's own performance to oppose Zhenye, even so.

The blood river encircling him instantly condensed, coalescing into a blade of blood light; the sword quivered, and the fluidity of the blood sea was reflected upon that blade.

Moreover, I can no longer face those Tooth Blood Vampires who yearn for humanity." Zhenye said.

Centered on her, the blood river turned into shadows, continuously radiating outward like thousands of arrows emitting faint light.

The Lost Forest instantly emitted a bluish‑purple gray light, swiftly flying toward Zhenye.

She understood that the burning bloodline had a time limit, lasting until the pearl on her forehead completely shattered.

Meanwhile, Yabianfu Er Shi did not follow King away.

That gigantic blood bat slammed straight into Zhenye, a piercing screech erupting from where they met, electricity flashing, and it directly split the blood bat in two, scraping past her body.

She lunged forward, launching an attack on Dark Kiva, while the blood river circling her shifted rapidly.

Dark Kiva could still suppress Zhenye; to deal with her he needed no weapon—or rather, every part of his body was a weapon.

It was drenched in blood, howling and roaring, the blood river coiled on its body releasing attack after attack,

A huge crack instantly appeared on Zhenye's blood‑red body, but it healed in the blink of an eye; before her Queen power within was exhausted, all her bodily indicators remained at peak condition.

For the strong, rules are meant to be broken.

Watching Zhenye cough, King also realized her Queen bloodline was about to burn out.

He spoke:

A light swing summons darkness, creates a blade, and can pierce all of the enemy's defenses.

With crimson radiance he continually slashed at Dark Kiva, fire spraying everywhere.

"I said I would help you." King urged.

"You should know how important the bloodline is to the Tooth Blood Vampire clan."

Seeing Zhenye become like this, he ultimately still softened his heart.

The cloak behind Dark Kiva is called Dark Veil; theoretically it can nullify all physical weapons in this world.

Watching the blood sea surge rapidly, King's body crackled with a piercing red Electric Arc, his demonic emperor power gathering into a burning tornado that slammed head‑on into Zhenye.

With a boom, the underground cavern inside Delan Castle was blasted through a large hole; Zhenye clung desperately to Dark Kiva, knocking him from the castle's interior.

The armor made from Delan Dragon skin is impervious; almost nothing can pierce its defense.

Zhenye merely raised her hand and pinched that invisible light in her palm; with a little force, a cracking sound rang directly from her palm.

No matter how much Zhenye hated him, King was certain he had fallen in love with her, though unfortunately Zhenye did not like him.

Her Queen bloodline within will also be formally severed, and the Queen's power will once again go seek the next successor.

As King, even when loving someone, one must observe the rules; otherwise he would be unworthy of the throne.

Moreover, I will make you my Queen, and I will help you find another way to make up for the power you lack.

Such power is enough to make Zhenye completely lose her ability to resist.

Zhenye, or rather the pearl-shell Tooth Blood Vampire after her sublimation, swung her hand.

There's no need to fight anymore, if King truly wants to kill Zhenye.

"No, we can't go back; I've fallen for someone else, and after waiting a while I will truly become an ordinary person."

"What use is it to survive alone? Yin ye ta is still in Delan Castle, and I will never see him again."

Blood‑black energy began to emanate from Dark Kiva's body; it looked different from the viscous, gloomy blood river, its range far greater.

The cloak behind him swept aside in an instant, directly binding Zhenye's hands.

Still the same words: he couldn't bring himself to strike.

"Then die!"

The wounds inflicted by Dark Kiva could heal quickly, but the tiny bleeding wounds on her head she could do nothing about.

"Go on your way; I won't kill you, but you have lost the qualifications to be a Tooth Blood Vampire. From now on you are exiled, and may never set foot here again."

Instead, he muttered a few words into the weeping Zhenye's ear, then flew back to Delan Castle.

Tears streamed across her cheeks.

A sharp blade was aimed at Zhenye, piercing the blood river encircling her outer body; before the blood river could heal, it struck Zhenye.

The Dark King slowly peeled away from his body, and he, who had returned to human form, spoke:

It can be directly bound with a sealing barrier, and when using Wake1, the punch named Dark Prison Fall.

Those are rapidly flowing sword blades; under King's demon emperor power they become as if substantive.

And the forest that is perpetually shrouded in mist also, at this moment, loses its ability to suppress the Tooth Blood Vampire's transformation and conceal its aura.

The trees of the Lost Forest were affected, began to burn, and rolling thick smoke is rapidly rising into the sky.

King bare-handed grabbed the blood-red blade in his hand, lightly pinched it, and the blade formed entirely from Zhenye's demon emperor power shattered.

With almost the same motion, Zhenye and King charged at each other, Zhenye waving the blood blade in his hand.

"I'm giving you one chance; if you are willing to stop now, I will not hold you responsible for privately burning your bloodline and betraying the Tooth Blood Vampire clan."

Zhenye coughed once, and the white pearl on his forehead began to bleed, gradually covering his face.

Hearing Yabianfu Er Shi's words, Zhenye's originally surging grief was abruptly halted, and he broke into a smile through tears.

Then he got up as if nothing had happened, tidied his already tattered clothes as if going on a date, and happily left the Lost Forest.

Finished typing, I'm going to sleep now.
