The plan was rather simple, the trio of Vampires would use Xanthus, the last Vampire Noble as a bait, purposely giving him the order of immediately trying to engage with the irregular.
Xanthus used to be a slave and was taken by Vampires, so until now, he had never considered the idea of disobeying their masters… Until they asked him to sacrifice himself for them.
However, due to the contract and pacts done to him, he could not refuse.
On his last moments, as Kireina was about to finish him off by eating his soul, he screamed, trying to stop her, wanting to tell her about the plan and the trap that was settled for her. He considered that if he were to tell her, he could save his life… but alas, he died.
Hendrik, Elisabetta, and Matilda used a teleportation artifact incrusted on Xanthus's soul, it activated the moment his soul was destroyed, and its pieces were eaten.
As Kireina lowered her guard due to her victory over Xanthus, the three Vampires would use all their strength to quickly dispose of the irregular and her subordinates in the spawn of seconds.
Elisabetta emerged first, by using her Psychic Powers and incredible magic, she grabbed on Rimuru, her closest prey, squeezing her and absorbing her vast Magic with her [Magic Drain] Skill.
Elisabetta was so fast that Kireina was barely about to fly towards her but she had already grabbed on Rimuru…
However, it wasn't that Elisabetta was faster than Kireina to the point that she could see the rest of the world in slow motion, Hendrik had appeared right after Elisabetta, moving behind Kireina by using his Space Attribute Magic, he then used the Spell Gravity Domain to increase the weight of Kireina by one hundred times.
This spell was usually a one-shot as it would make its targets become a mush of blood and shattered bones, however Kireina seemed unaffected and was only slowed down, Hendrik couldn't realize in time that she was even able to think and activate skills.
Matilda appeared after Hendrik and released a massive mist of poison that could melt everything, fiercely attacking Brontes and Zehe, and both suffering high amounts of damage as they tried to retaliate against her.
Brontes and Zehe combined their strength and seemed to be even with Matilda, but the moment the poison touched Bronte's arms, they melted, leaving only bones. However, as she was a spirit, they could still regenerate even after this, but the pain and the inability to use that arm for some time were still there.
Zehe's shields were broken and melted as the poison approached her. She did not possess such high vitality, regeneration, or defenses like Brontes. If she were to be hit by the poison, she would die… As she desperately cast Black Holes while escaping, the mist enclosed her and melted even her spells.
Meanwhile, Nefertiti and Alice were being slowed down by Hendrik's Gravity Domain and Elisabetta's Psychic Powers. From the Vampires viewpoint, they had already won, and they only had to finish them off.
However, as Hendrik was about to crush Kireina's head with his large hands, he felt a deep pain within his chest, and then Kireina said some words.
"You're all dead… Split Minds…"
That's the only thing he could hear before Hendrik's chest exploded, and as he glanced at the culprit, he found Kireina who had suddenly shapeshifted her back into a large tentacle-like tail that held three different relics as stings, covered in deadly poison, curses and her own poisonous blood, coupled with Chaos Attribute Magic.
"BUGYAH…! T-This?! UOOOOOOOGGHH…!"
Hendrik's entire chest began to spin chaotically as his flesh was ripped off, melted, and burned, even his soul was being affected, the pain was too sudden, he could not do anything.
Noticing this, the two Vampire woman who accompanied Hendrik was bewildered.
"She can talk?! She should not even be able to move in your Gravity Domain…!"
"Hendrik!"
Distracted by this sudden course of events, Kireina's wives used these small loopholes to release their own trump cards.
Brontes became a titan and released a powerful Pressure over Matilda, while Zehe hid beneath Brontes and opened a rift to a different space, were giant eldritch monsters appeared and attacked the Vampire.
"Uaaaaaggh! W-What?! Was she a T-Titan?! And how can that lesser demon summons Eldritch Octopuses?! Each one is Kaiser Rank… and there are hundreds, unbelievable! N-No!"
Elisabetta was going through a similar event, Rimuru shapeshifted into a pure liquid as she user her powerful magic and skills like [Parasite] to enter Elisabetta's flesh, making it detonate and then escaping when she let go of her Psychic grasp.
"GYAAAAAAAH! MY ARMS…!"
Alice appeared from behind, seemingly freed from Hendrik's Gravity Domain and using her superhuman strength to grab on Elisabetta's small body, making her claws growth, she twisted her body and ripped the Vampire's legs as if they were butter through a hot knife.
"GIIIIIIIIIHHHH…!"
"Die!" roared Alice, completely angered.
Rimuru then appeared from her other side and threw hundreds of small and thin multi-elemental beams that penetrated Elisabetta's flesh like bullets.
"I won't let you damage Masta, die! Die!"
"T-That Sliiimeee…! GIIIHHH… M-Mental Doma-"
Flash!
Nefertiti who had been laying low since now appeared from beneath the Vampire, slicing her neck and beheading her with a large Light Blade…
"I won't let you get in the way of my child…!"
Elisabetta's head, which was still conscious due to her incredible vitality as a Vampire, couldn't understand how easy she was overwhelmed when she was clearly winning!
Matilda or Hendrik couldn't even cry for Elisabetta as they were in a similar situation.
And just as they decided to use their Divine Beast Flesh to have some hope, Kireina's entire body exploded in a black mist, space itself was disrupted and her Domain broken, the Vampires being massacred by monsters and centaurs glance at the spectacle, an over one hundred meters tall Giant appeared, destroying the Dungeon's ceiling and towering to the snowy sky.
"W-What is that?!"
"Gyaaaaaaaah! I cannot look at that! I CAN'T! MY EYES! TAKE THEM OUT!"
"N-NOOO! NOOOOOOO!"
"D-Don't look at it!"
Both Vampires and Centaurs alike ran away for their lives, as the monster that appeared before them couldn't even be glanced by normal people, anyone who looked at it too much would fall into insanity.
Elisabetta's head, before it could even activate her Divine Beast Flesh was devoured by the giant's tail, which shapeshifted into a massive and armored dragon head.
Flash!
The dragon tail held over Elisabetta's head and soul and began to munch on it like a snack. Elisabetta felt the excruciating pain of being ripped to shreds both physically and psychically.
"BUUGYAAAA…! GUUAAAAAAAHH…!"
Crunch, crunch, munch.
Hendrik's whose chest was regenerated already had transformed into a large crimson titan with spiky horns and bat-like wings. While Matilda became a lamia-like demoness, with her lower half of a giant red serpent, her horns grew and her tongue was over thirty meters long, releasing deadly poison.
However, the two intimidating Vampires were nothing before the behemoth, the thing before them. The one who had once been called an Evil God by an Ancient Wisdom Dragon.
The giant's entire body was different than before, it was pure dark, covered in countless scales over its armor, creating an impenetrable fortress, her arms grew and looked grotesque and covered in fleshy armor, eyes, and mouths everywhere. Her heads were even uglier, not even the charming demoness was beautiful, the wyverns, wolves, demons, and dragon heads looked angered, completely angered, releasing flames from their eyes.
Behind its back, there were 16th wings all of them of different shapes but covered in the same dark armor, with countless eyes and mouths.
The heads of the titan began to move, extending their long necks, flying towards the Vampires. Kireina's wives felt safer as their lover had decided to use her true powers and flew closer to her. They were then welcomed inside her own body as it opened fleshy caves inside.
As they walked inside, they could see blood vessels, countless organs, and bones, sharp teeth, eyes, and tongues… yet, they didn't feel terrified like the Vampires or Centaurs. Strangely enough, the Twin Centaurs didn't seem to be affected by the insanity given to people that glanced at Kireina's transformation.
As they reached a fleshy chamber which seemed to have a large eye showing what was going on outside as if it were a screen, the flesh beneath the girls shapeshifted, and Kireina's body appeared, although she was made out of only flesh, eyes, claws, teeth, and mouths.
"Honey���"
"Mastaa…"
Kireina hugged her wives as she sighed in relief.
"Haah… I'm glad you're fine… Good work with Elisabetta, thanks to your cooperative work, I managed to eat her in time…"
"Yes, Master, it is an honor to help you… But, let us kill them, I want them all dead!"
Kireina nodded as she commanded her entire body, her wives wanted to grant her strength, so she decided to use it. By using [Love Connection] the power of the already overwhelming giant multiplied…
Massive dark-colored weapons appeared in each of the giant's hands, alongside a large shield, Gaia.
Hendrik and Matilda quivered.
"Elisabetta just died…" (Hendrik)
"I-Is this… is this… is this… t-the irregular?" (Matilda)
"I-I… It seems so… I can't believe this… Was she an Evil God?! Or a Living Deity…"
"The irregular… no, it must be wrong… it can't be, it can't be! It can't be!!!"
"Matilda…! C-Calm down…"
"W-What do we do no-"
As the two Vampires tried to find a solution out, the calm voice of their Goddess, Agatheina, called to them…
"My children, let me grant you my strength…"
"A-Agatheina-sama?!"
"I can't be…! Our Goddess!"
"Quick, take it before it's too late!" shouted Agatheina, releasing her powers
Suddenly, from the sky, a ray of crimson light emerged, flying towards the Vampires.
"T-The power of Agatheina sama! With this, we will be able to win!"
"Come to us!"
CLASH!
However, before they could even receive the power of their precious goddess, Kireina released a large Chaos Sphere from one of her mouths, destroying the arc of crimson light.
A thunderous roar of pain filled the entire place.
"G-GGIIIIIHH…! GYAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!"
The pained roars didn't come from the Vampires, as they weren't affected by the sphere… it was Agatheina.
Agatheina who was granting the Vampires some of her Divine Power was interrupted by Kireina. Her giant Chaos-Attribute Sphere did not only destroy the arc of light as if it were nothing, but it also devoured the Divine Energy within.
Agatheina felt her life and energy being drained away from her as she experienced pain similar to her body being twisted around like a spiral, as the flesh, bones, and organs constantly broke apart.
Agatheina's body was perfectly fine, she couldn't understand where was this pain coming. Just from getting her arc of divine energy destroyed, she received this much damage… just what was that irregular called Kireina!?
"The power of Divinity Devour coupled with Chaos Attribute Magic that can destroy all order, it is rather effective together, a nice tool against gods," said one of Kireina's heads, that of a large and furious wolf with twelve blazing eyes.
Hendrik and Matilda glanced at Kireina baffled.
Perhaps what she did wasn't much for herself, but for others, it was an unthinkable act, to offend and damage a god.
"D-Did that really happen just now…?"
"Yes, it did…"
"T-To dare offend the goddess…"
"As she fought gods themselves?"
"W-We are done for…"
"There is only despair…"
Kireina's large body then shapeshifted, such a large body should be hard to move around, but she just needed to alter her flesh like slime and move her body instead of walking step by step.
As she moved like a twisting mass of flesh covered in eyes, mouths, claws, teeth, armor, and giant tentacles which held large blades and spears began to slice and pulverize the two Vampires.
Their flesh was sliced into mush and their souls devoured and eaten fiercely. The Vampires and Centaurs ran away for their lives. While Sofarpia and Sofelaia, with the help of Nixephine and Nesiphae, helped the citizens evacuate.
They stood there and died.
Everything was completely hopeless.
Agatheina's plan was destroyed, and on this day, the Thanatos Kingdom lost a precious Kingdom full of resources that could have been used as a vassal nation.
She couldn't even move properly, the pain was too much, she rested over her bed while using the help of her Living Deity descendants, who granted her with flesh blood to recover.
"Ughh… h-how… how could a mortal… damage… me…"
Meanwhile, Hepharios, the current King of Cilane was galloping as fast as he could away from his Kingdom.
"No way! I can't possibly win against that monster! I'm getting out of here!"
"You're going nowhere, traitor!" roared a voice of a young man, as the figure of a handsome Black Cat man appeared, accompanied by a group of Dhampirs and Vampires led by Caedmon and Cassandra, blocking Hepharios's route.
"A-Ah! Y-You! That Black Cat that once served the last King… And some Vampires? Heh, you are nothing against my new powers! Behold! Demon Hair! Blood Attribute Magic; Crimson Cage! Adamantine Nai- GYAAAAH!"
Caedmon and Cassandra had approached behind him in the blink of an eye, cutting off his horse legs, while Jerold threw five daggers enhanced with his Lightning Manipulation.
Hepharios wasn't even able to showcase his abilities and was already overwhelmed…
"H-Huuh?! W-WAIT! We can negotiate! I'll give you the Kingdom, everything! Just wait for a second…!"
"There is nothing to talk, Hepharios! You not only betrayed your brother but also your own race! I will bring your death! Lightning Dagger Arts; Detonation!" Shouted Jerold, as the daggers in Hepharios's chest detonated, his flesh, blood, and bones flew away into pieces.
BOOOM!
Not even his soul was spared, as it was eaten by a nearby Slime Clone that accompanied them.
"Haaah… It is done"
Jerold breathed a sigh of relief. He had already been informed of Kireina's identity and plans and willingly accepted being her subordinate, he had recently become a Dhampir.
His blue eyes became crimson and his skin was paler, but thanks to Kireina's Illusion Magic, he was able to look the same as before.
"Good work, Jerold!" said Caedmon, praising Jerold.
"Excellent display of power, my apprentice," said Cassandra, praising Jerold as well.
"You don't have to refer to me with honorifics, and I am not your apprentice, Cassandra, I just learned some Skills from you…"
"Well, I can't… you're my comrade, and we must respect each other" (Caedmon)
"But you're my cute little cat apprentice!" (Cassandra)
Some days ago, these three were deadly enemies. And now they were conversing as if they were good friends.
No matter what grudges they held with each other in the past, Kireina's Dhampirs always treated each other with camaraderie and respect. Unlike the Vampires of Agatheina.
The three had already forgotten old grudges and cooperated to succeed in the tasks given by their Master.
"Master had left quite the mess; she really did transform at the end…" (Jerold)
"Well, that's master for you" (Caedmon)
"Caedmon, you talk as if you knew Master for years! It hasn't even been a week! And I know her better!" (Cassandra)
