A Thousand-Year-Old Iron Tree Blooms? (5.2K)

So Mahiro stopped the blood transfusion.

With a thought, the wound was instantly healed.

However, the heart did not seem to be satisfied; instead, it gradually swelled and grew, the bud becoming larger and larger, resembling a rosebud.

The roots clinging to the coffin seemed to come alive, and began to wriggle strangely.

It transformed into countless tentacles and attacked Mahiro.

"What an unsatisfying guy."

With Mahiro wave of his spear, Shinji severed the attacking root tentacles.

The flower bud seemed to realize that this most delicious food was not to be trifled with, so it set its sights on the sacrificial offerings beside it.

"Waaaaah...!"

Seeing the tentacles rushing towards it, the sacrifice shook its head frantically, but how could it escape when its whole body was bound? The tentacles slowly wrapped around its limbs and body.

The roots that pierced the body continuously drew blood.

And the flower buds that had stopped growing gradually bloom at this moment.

As the flower buds unfolded petal by petal, the image of a fully-fledged beautiful young woman began to emerge.

Her long, deep red hair danced without wind, and she had scarlet eyes that matched her hair color.

With her porcelain-white, flawless skin and a perfectly proportioned, curvaceous, and feminine figure, Mary's lips trembled slightly upon seeing this familiar figure.

"Lady Elizabeth..."

His voice conveyed shock and nostalgia, but also a deep sense of regret.

If she had known things would turn out this way, she should have killed her according to Lady Elizabeth's last wish and scattered her ashes into the sea.

It wouldn't have turned out like this...

Everything is over...

Mary's eyes glistened with tears, revealing a deep sense of despair.

The scene that unfolded a thousand years ago is about to repeat itself...

"Awoo."

Elizabeth parted her cherry lips slightly and bit down on the throat of the sacrifice. The overflowing blood immediately rushed into her mouth, and as her throat moved, the blood was continuously drawn out.

The fresh sacrificial offerings were thus drained of their life force and turned into dried human flesh.

At the same time, a powerful magical force erupted from the resurrected queen, shaking the very air.

This terrifying magical power immediately forced Alpha back three steps.

Sensing the astonishing aura emanating from the [Blood Queen], she frowned slightly.

So strong...

The crimson magic surrounding her body seemed to materialize, writhing and coiling around the woman's slender and shapely body like fresh blood.

She transformed into a blood-red gown.

"You are not allowed to make a move; this is my prey."

Seeing that Snow Woman, Alpha, and Epsilon looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy, Mahiro, who was in the center of the storm, spoke up, then looked again at the legendary progenitor of vampires.

Is it possible that it's not strong?

This woman absorbed his blood, so her magical power has at least doubled.

If we can't even surpass Alpha, then that would be far too boring.

Thinking of this, a slight smile appeared on Mahiro's lips.

"Then let's begin, Miss Elizabeth. Don't disappoint me!"

Elizabeth tilted her head slightly, seemingly unable to understand the meaning of his words, her consciousness still in a hazy drowsiness, not fully awake.

Only her instincts kept telling her that the blood of the person in front of her tasted delicious.

Then he reached out his hand to Mahiro.

At the same time, blood began to condense on the "Blood Queen's" right hand.

Amazing magic was concentrated in her palm!

And with a speed that no one could react to, the blood mass floating in mid-air suddenly exploded!

In an instant, the exploding blood splattered everywhere, and countless drops of blood transformed into sharp arrows in the blink of an eye, attacking Mahiro.

"Yes, that's more like it."

The arrows of blood stained the entire space crimson.

Mahiro took a large step back, then raised his spear and slashed through the air in front of him.

[Dimensional Array - Shambhala]

A square formation resembling the Tai Chi symbol appeared before Mahiro like a barrier, and the thousands of blood arrows that attacked him instantly disappeared into the formation.

The next second.

The same teleportation circle appeared above Elizabeth's head.

Thousands of blood arrows appeared and fell like a torrential rain!

Those blood arrows mercilessly pierced Elizabeth's body...

This is how it should be.

But in reality, the blood strangely stopped in mid-air, as if a repulsive net was blocking it, preventing it from getting any closer.

But Mahiro can understand.

This is simply a manipulation of the blood of this progenitor of vampires.

He couldn't help but smile slightly and said, "How about this?"

Snap!

A bright red light shone in Mahiro's eyes, and the magic circle that Alpha Stigma appeared in the center of his pupil.

With a snap of fingers.

A powerful surge of magic erupted, instantly seizing control of the blood in the same way.

Blood rained down immediately, piercing through Elizabeth's smooth back and penetrating her delicate body.

It fell to the ground like a rag doll, and countless drops of blood rained down on the ground, stirring up dust.

"Is that all you've got? You can't possibly be that bad? The legendary [Blood Queen], you know."

A flippant, arrogant voice, like that of someone toying with prey, faintly echoed atop the tower, beneath the blood moon.

"This... how is this possible?"

Mary witnessed the most shocking thing she had ever seen in her life.

This human boy not only completely surpassed Lady Elizabeth in magical power, but also forcibly seized control of her bloodline?!

This move is something only Lady Elizabeth can use!

Is this boy really human?

And at this moment.

Elizabeth lay in the rubble, her eyes vacant as she stared at the night sky, at the blood moon hanging overhead.

Her body was pierced by arrows of blood, leaving it mangled beyond recognition. Countless bloody holes appeared beneath her blood-soaked dress, and her jagged bones were completely exposed to the air.

On the surface, it seemed as if this vampire princess was in a state of existential crisis.

Until Mahiro's mocking and sarcastic voice drifted over.

"I said, is this all you've got? You can't possibly be all you've got, can you? The legendary [Blood Queen], you know."

"The Blood Queen..."

This word seemed to have struck a nerve with Elizabeth.

Suddenly, the magic surged explosively, even shaking the surrounding air.

"Oh my, you can actually get stronger? You're so cute, I never imagined you'd be such an eccentric monster."

The Snow Woman spoke in a lighthearted and teasing tone, her folding fan opening again to conceal her face, which was filled with shock and solemnity.

The opponent's magic power had increased to a level that she could only look up to.

But seeing Mahiro's calm and slightly excited expression, her heart calmed down a bit.

Master, you'll definitely win, right?

At that moment, Elizabeth slowly stood up.

It was as if an invisible hand lifted her delicate body from the ground, and the hideous wounds beneath her blood-stained dress healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

She hovered in mid-air like an empress looking down upon the world.

Under the Red Moon.

Elizabeth slowly raised her hand, and the crimson magic coalesced once more, condensing into a bright red scythe.

With a casual flick of the wrist, blood spurted out.

Like rose petals, they swirl and dance beneath the night sky.

Since the opponent has made the move, how could Mahiro not respond?

"The ruthless Queen of Steel, the holy sword that slays demons and monsters—"

Mahiro recited softly.

"--Transform into a steel sword here, to aid me in slaying all my enemies!"

[Everything is as you wish.]

In an instant, the long staff in his hand changed shape, transforming into the [Demon-Slaying Holy Sword].

The divine power emanating from her caused Elizabeth to furrow her brow slightly.

She actually felt a slight discomfort.

However, Mahiro picked up that terrifying holy sword and swung it forward, as if cleaving through space, an invisible wave of magical energy rippled outwards.

Like a drop of water falling onto the still surface of a lake.

However, this drop of water was not as simple as an ordinary water droplet...

Endless darkness was spreading from beneath his feet; it was Maya Yotsuba's most proficient aggregation magic, "Meteor Shower"!

It was as if the boundless night had enveloped the entire Red Tower and the entire night sky beneath the Blood Moon, covering it once again!

The swirling stars, their scattered brilliance, overshadowed the Red Moon, obscuring its crimson light!

"Is this the power of our lord? It's truly too strong..."

Upon witnessing this scene, Epsilon trembled with joy.

A wavering unease appeared in Mary's eyes, and her mouth gaped open in shock, as if an egg could fit inside!

Now she was certain that this boy who called himself Yotsuba Mahiro was definitely not an ordinary person; he was a monster comparable to Lady Elizabeth!

However, if it were him...

Hopefully, the tragedy of a thousand years ago won't repeat itself.

Master, can you now finally rest in peace as you wished?

Elizabeth seemed to sense something was wrong with the night barrier, and with a wave of her hand, countless rose petals transformed into a rain of blood-red arrows that rained down from the sky.
