"We should just let them pass and try not to provoke them." said Nathya Ferera, Empress of Shana.
"Haa?!! Are you out of your mind? This is why we should never listen to a woman? Does living in the jungle for a long time turn you into idio.." retorted Vampire King Alfred.
*BOM* Before Alfred finishes his sentence, he turns into a liquid and jumps from his seat. At the same time, a wooden spear is embedded in the Vampire King's seat.
"It seems you want to die, Vampire King?!" said Empress Nathya coldly.
"Hmph… I'd like to see how you did it, woman? It's been a long time since I drank the blood of Qitah." replied Vampire King as he was already back to his normal form.
Hearing this, the Empress immediately charged toward the Vampire King. Once again, another fight happened in the middle of the room.
The vampire race is one of the races that could be hailed as the immortal race. Not only are they hard to be killed, but they have various kinds of life-saving skills.
Moreover, they could live forever as long as they sustain themself with enough blood. In some cases, they could be said as half undead. Unfortunately, most vampire races are infertile and can't conceive a child.
Only the pureblood vampire race has a slight chance to conceive a child. Unlike other races that use breeding to multiply their numbers, vampire races could turn other people into vampires by making them drink vampire blood.
The Vampire race is divided into a few ranks like Pureblood, Half-blood, and Subordinate. Pureblood rank is the highest rank and Subordinate is the lowest rank. The lower their rank, the weaker they are.
It is said only Pureblood was able to reach seventh grade while Half-blood could only reach sixth grade at maximum. Currently, most of the vampire races are Half-blood and Subordinate rank. Still, in terms of survivability Vampire race is one of the tops among the other races.
As a Pureblood Vampire King, Alfred is one kind of person that is very hard to kill. Still, this didn't mean Empress Nathya was weak either. As the strongest Qitas race, she is also one of the most dangerous female warriors in Firuman.
Qitas race is a natural warrior-born race. If Vampire is strong in terms of survivability, Qitas is strong in combat and killing. Their attack always looks simple but deadly and precise. On the pinnacle of this race is Empress Nathya, who is also hailed as the Strongest Spear of Shana.
Inside the Roundel meeting hall, no one is stupid enough to provoke Empress Nathya unless they have already prepared various kinds of life-saving skills, items, or spells.
During the fight, Vampire King Alfred dodges Empress Nathya's precise attack by turning his body into liquified blood.
"Haaa… Is there anyone who wants to stop them? I don't have time for this." commented King Nexus Orces, King of Orces.
"Then, why don't you stop them by yourself, King Nexus?" chimed Sovas Prideclaw, King of Tascar kingdom.
"And getting pierced later? No thanks." replied King Nexus.
"Hmm… Why don't you stop them, Chief Might? It will be more interesting that way." provoked Lucia Moonfall, Demon Lord of Demonia kingdom.
"Grr.. No way in hell. I don't want to taste another spear from the Empress of Shana. Besides, why should I listen to a punny little girl like you." replied Chief Might.
"Punny little girl?!! Hmpph.. Well, I don't expect muscle-brain like you to understand my true beauty." retorted Demon Lord Lucia.
Then, the two begin to bicker while some of the other leaders also talk to themself. Another hour has passed, yet the fight between Vampire King Alfred and Empress Nathya is still not done.
During all this time, Vampire King is very passive and could only dodge the Empress's onslaught. It seems that Empress Nathya was able to grasp Alfred's movement before he even acted.
Irritated by his passive performance, "Don't underestimate me, Bitch!! [Vanish]" said Vampire King Alfred before suddenly disappearing from his spot.
"Oho.. Is this the famous stealth skill of the Vampire race? A truly marvelous one." commented Leader Avadel.
Seeing the vanishing Vampire King, the Empress decides to stay still and close her eyes while standing on her spot. Suddenly, she opens her eyes and turns around while brandishing her fist.
*BAMM* Just as the invisible Vampire King almost bites the Empress's neck, he gets hit in the face and crashes into the nearby wall. Before Alfred could heal his wound, he immediately turned himself into countless small bats and appeared far away from his location.
*BOOM* a wooden spear is embedded at his last position while the surrounding wall is cracked. Seeing this, some national leaders couldn't help gulping their own saliva. They know how tough the wall inside this meeting hall is.
They at least need to use their powerful moves to lay a scratch on this wall. Yet, the casual throw from Empress Nathya was able to not only crack the wall but also plant her wooden spear deep into it.
Seeing the fear on Alfred's face, "Did you still want to continue, Vampire King?" asked Empress Nathya coldly.
"Tch… I am sorry for my rudeness, Empress Nathya." said Vampire King Alfred while gritting his teeth.
Because of the Vampire race's rank, they become a very arrogant and prideful race. They even see the other weak race as nothing but livestock. As Pureblood Vampire, Alfred is famous for his arrogant and racist behavior. He also has a heavy prejudice towards females.
Some people even say that if you are a female, don't step inside the Eternal kingdom unless you are fifth grade or above. On the contrary, the Qitas race consists of prideful female warriors. Demeaning women's pride in front of them is one act they could never tolerate.
After getting back to her seat, "Let's continue the meeting. Based on the information King Leon and Archmage Ikalis share, the Krugguar Emperor is smart and knows when to retreat. It certainly could fight against them at that moment, yet it didn't." said Empress Nathya.
"I suspect that the Krugguar Emperor didn't want to have unnecessary casualties among his army until they reached Tristall Woodland." added Empress Nathya.
"True. The Krugguar Emperor seems angry and mad when my spell hits the nearby monster." said Archamage Ikalis.
"So, it will not harm anyone and only pass by as long as we didn't attack them?" asked Omada Slardar, King of Draridi kingdom.
"I don't think so, King Omada. Before I arrive at the scene, the Krugguar Emperor is fighting and letting his army kill any people nearby. I think he retreated because he didn't want to fight against three seventh-grade combatants simultaneously." said King Leon.
"No matter how strong Krugguar Emperor is, he still couldn't fight three seventh grade combatants unscathed. In other words, as long as there are three or more seventh-grade combatants nearby, it will ignore you and just pass through." added King Leon.
"Absurd!! How could you let a monster overlord just pass by?" retorted Vampire King Alfred.
"Then, do you want to fight it, O Vampire King Alfred? I think rather than fight it directly, it is safer to gather three seventh-grade combatants to keep the Krugguar Emperor from running amok." mocked Chief Jork.
"And where exactly do we get these three seventh-grade combatants? Did you forget besides the Elven kingdom, no kingdom has three seventh-grade combatants. Even the wandering seventh-grade combatant is hard to find." said Vampire King Alfred.
"I don't think we need to recruit three seventh-grade combatants. All we need is to hire the other seventh-grade combatant like from our allied nation for a few days until the monster overlord passes through." said King Omada.
The Draridi Kingdom, where King Omada lives, is also on the direct path of the Krugguar Emperor, as the Eternal Kingdom. However, the Draridi Kingdom has a vast network and is allied with many nations in its surrounding.
Using his influence and connection, it is an easy task to gather three seventh-grade combatants for a few days.
After that, everyone seems to agree with King Omada's idea. Rather than directly fighting the monstrous Krugguar Emperor directly, it is better to repel him without any fight or bloodshed.
After some discussion, "Then, I can conclude the World Alliance will not take any movement against the migrated Krugguar Emperor except for helping the kingdoms on its path" concluded Vandor Windspear, one of the elf leaders.
"As for the seventh-grade combatant, it is up to the nation how they procure it. We, the elf race, also agreed to lend any help in case the monster overlord suddenly decided to attack the nation even after gathering three seventh-grade combatants." added Vandor.
Hearing this, everyone also feels safer except the Vampire King Alfred. Unlike other nations that try to have as many allies as possible, the Eternal Kingdom is one of the strong and self-sufficient nations that didn't ally with any nearby kingdom.
On the contrary, they always conflict with all the nations and kingdoms nearby. If it were not for their high survivability trait, they would have gone extinct long ago.
As soon as the meeting concluded, Alfred immediately went towards the teleportation area to return to the Eternal kingdom. He needs to plan how to gather two more seventh-grade combatants without paying too much price.
