The villainous prince who bullied Feng Aotian was actually myself.

Helena called out to Leon.

"No, as long as the magic array is still there, the underground palace will not go out of control, and I can use my blood to activate the magic array."

Leon laughed.

“You’ll bleed out and die; you’re just stalling for time.”

"Isn't this exactly what you wanted? You all want me dead."

"No, you should stay alive. It seems you're still useful for now."

Helena spoke in Leon's usual tone.

Leon didn't answer Helena, but instead gave her his signature sly smile before turning and walking into the underground palace.

Helena didn't know what he was going to do, but since he had made it clear that he would no longer interfere with her and Leon, killing him didn't seem to make much difference.

Let Leon deal with him, but Leon right now...

The thought of Leon, who had turned into a monster, filled Helena with fear and immense sorrow.

The fear was that Leon wouldn't come back, and so was the sadness.

……

Philippa felt as if the sky was about to fall.

This was all so unexpected.

Not long ago, she was immersed in the immense happiness of marrying the person she loved, but in the blink of an eye, everything vanished like a bubble.

And his most respected teacher—the vampire queen—suddenly lost contact with the entire Thorn Forest. Despite having a blood bond with his teacher, he could not detect any signs of her life.

All signs indicate that the vampire queen is dead.

"Her Majesty the Queen is dead?"

Philippa looked at Kassalin beside her with a questioning gaze, feeling incredulous.

"All current circumstances point to this."

Kashalin said solemnly, "Your Holiness, the Queen cannot be contacted now. Before seeing the Queen's body, you are entitled to exercise the Queen's rights according to regulations."

"Let's go back to Moonlight City first. I want to know what's going on."

Philippa took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and said.

"Row."

Kassalin nodded and then took Philippa with her and jumped through space.

One of the vampires' abilities is the ability to teleport in the dark, which is almost a divine skill for their rapid movement in the thorn forest where there is only darkness.

Before long, Philippa and Kassalin appeared in front of the royal palace in Moonlight City.

At this moment, some elders of the vampire clan were already waiting in the square in front of the palace.

However, when they saw Philippa, they did not show the respect they should have shown. Instead, they gloated as if they were looking at a dying person.

"Your Majesty, please be careful."

Kassalin stepped forward and stood in front of Philippa.

At this moment, inside the royal palace at the very top of the square.

A charming figure slowly walked out.

She is very tall, nearly 1.9 meters tall, and wearing 10-centimeter high heels.

Her long silver hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and her outfit was completely different from the usual vampire style. Her upper body was a men's leather vest with a suit jacket and tie, and her lower body was a white pleated skirt that was short enough to reach her upper thighs. Her fair, long legs were covered with black stockings that reached her knees, and a black leather belt was tied around her fleshy thighs, with a short knife hanging on the belt.

She had a pipe with a lit tobacco pipe in her mouth, and she looked like a gangster.

Philippa didn't recognize the guy. She turned to look at Kassalin, who also looked puzzled.

"It's estimated that he was a male who advanced to a higher level in the vampire clan and then underwent gender transformation."

The vampire clan is a matriarchal society, and all of its high-ranking combatants are women. This is because if one follows the vampire path and reaches the King level, they will undergo a gender change and become a girl.

"What do you mean?"

Kasali looked at the unfamiliar woman who had walked out of the royal palace.

"Is this the most loyal Thorn Flower by the side of the Vampire Queen? She's my type, and the petite Saintess behind her is also a beauty! Hahaha, it's not in vain that I've been lying in wait here for so long, to stay young forever and live forever! And there are so many beauties, I can even become a beauty myself, this is simply paradise on earth, why didn't I come here sooner! Hahahaha."

The tall woman laughed maniacally, her gaze towards Kasharin filled with burning desire.

"Who are you? You'd better get off that spot right now."

Kasharin said coldly.

She hated the way that guy looked at her; his gaze was filled with lust that wanted to see right through her clothes, which made her feel incredibly disgusted.

"Roll down? Sure, sure, I'll roll over right now, my darling!"

The woman smiled sinisterly, then her figure vanished into the moonlight.

Kasha immediately sensed something was wrong. She pushed Philippa away and simultaneously turned to the other side to dodge.

A flash of silver light appeared, and the woman appeared beside him in the next instant, holding a short knife in her hand.

The woman gave Kassalin no chance to retaliate, and once again swung her short knife at Kassalin like a whirlwind, each strike carrying a powerful force.

Kassaline sensed something was wrong.

"Who exactly are you? The magic you're using isn't vampire magic at all; it's a martial art that only the Royal Knights of humanity can master!"

"Hehe, my beautiful darling, you can call me the Knight King Under the Moonlight—Lord Jack!"

The woman licked her bright red lips and said excitedly.

Chapter Twenty-One: Philippa in Crisis

The man in front of me named Jack is very strange.

It is clearly a vampire, but it does not know any of the vampire's secret techniques. Instead, it is extremely skilled in human martial arts.

Therefore, it can be determined that this guy is not a pure vampire at all, but a vampire who was assimilated by the vampires after being "blood-embraced" by them.

Judging from its cultivation level, it should have only recently entered the King Realm of the Blood Clan. However, the hilt of the short sword in this kid's hand is made of pure silver. It seems to be immune to silver weapons?!

Why is that?

Kassa Ling found it incredible; silverware had always been a fatal weakness of vampires.

Despite not understanding it, Kassalin was, after all, a veteran powerhouse among the vampires, with rich combat experience. Even though Jack wielded a silver dagger that was effective against vampires and launched a fierce attack, he still couldn't harm Kassalin in the slightest.

After several fruitless attempts to break through, Jack's offensive clearly weakened. Kassalin seized the opportunity to launch a fierce counterattack, and Jack was soon at a disadvantage.

However, Jack was clearly not as experienced in combat as Kassa Ling, and his control over vampire power was far inferior to that of Kassa Ling, who was born a vampire. He did not last more than a few rounds before Kassa Ling knocked away his dagger and stomped on his face, rubbing it hard against the ground.

"What kind of King of Knights under the Moonlight is he? I think he's just all show and no substance."

Kassa Ling spun her heel across Jack's face, her voice cold and mocking.

Jack, who was being trampled under Kassa Ling's feet, didn't seem to care about Kassa Ling's insults at all. Her eyes were narrowed into slits as she leered at the bottom of Kassa Ling's skirt.

"Kasalin, is it? I suddenly regret losing that thing. I can't imagine if you would still have this cold and arrogant expression when you're under me."

Jack chuckled, and at the same time, it stuck out its tongue and licked the leather boot that Kassa Ling had stepped on its face with a look of enjoyment.

Looking at the wet saliva on her boots, Kassa Ling felt nauseous. She kicked Jack hard, sending him flying.

Jack crashed hard into the dozens of meters of steps, and then rolled down the steps.

However, the vampire's powerful healing ability quickly allowed it to wipe away the blood from its nose and stand up again.

But it had only stood up for a short while when it immediately showed a pained expression, clutched its head, and collapsed back down.

Clearly, the internal injuries caused by Kassa Ling stomping on its head were starting to take effect.

"Let's see who dares to act recklessly now!"

Kashalin scanned the elders.

Seeing this, the other elders around looked at each other in bewilderment and all retreated.

At this moment, another figure appeared at the top of the steps.

This is a very charming woman. Although her clothes are not revealing, her every move is full of allure and can arouse desire in people.

Philippa stared intently at the woman.

There are many vampire women, and many of them are quite provocative, but only her aunt can be this provocative.

However, Salin is now more charming than ever before. Even Philippa, who is attracted to men and considers herself to be sexually normal, is captivated by her every smile and gesture.

The higher the level of a vampire, the more beautiful they become; she seems to have already broken through to the King realm.

Unlike humans, vampires cannot advance rapidly in a short period of time. For a vampire to advance from the King Realm to the Peerless Angel Realm, a unique opportunity is required, and becoming a Glory Realm is even more demanding. Therefore, most powerful vampires can only stop at the King Realm. Even the vampire queen is only said to be infinitely close to Glory Realm, but in essence, she is still at the Peerless Realm.

Aside from the sleeping old monsters, very few of the vampire angels are still active, and they are not currently in the Thorn Forest. To ensure that the isolated Thorn Forest can obtain important information from the outside world and not fall behind the times, these angels will lead their people to hide in human society.

After all, it must be acknowledged that human civilization is the most creative and fastest-developing of all racial civilizations.

"Shalin?"

"Aunt?"

Kassalin and Philippa spoke almost simultaneously.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Charlene smiled and said, "Since Her Majesty the Queen has gone missing, and I happen to be in Moonlight City, I'm here to stabilize the situation for my dear niece. Is there any problem with that?"

“You don’t have that right. Even if you’re to act on my behalf, it should be my mother.”

Philippa snapped, "Shalin, what have you done to my mother?"

"Leticia is in the palace. She's fine and just waiting for you. Come here, Philippa, I'll take you to see her."

"Shalin smiled."

"Shalin, please watch your words. Please address her as Her Majesty the Saintess."

Kassa Ling said.

"I apologize for my rudeness. I had forgotten that my dear niece is always the high and mighty Holy Maiden!"

Shalin smiled charmingly, then looked at the crowd below the steps, "What are you all standing there for? Why don't you invite the Holy Maiden back to the palace?"

After he finished speaking, the elders around him stepped forward and bowed, "Welcome back to the palace, Holy Maiden."

"Kasaling, what do you think?"

Philippa leaned close to Kassalin and whispered.

“Saline is probably going to rebel, Your Majesty. I’ll hold them off for a bit. You escape first, and I’ll follow you right away.”

"Row."

Philippa knew the current situation was complex and critical, and she had no time for sentimentality. She also believed in Kasalin's abilities.

"Miss Kassalin, take care."

After saying that, Philippa turned and ran, her figure ethereal, disappearing into the night.

"Want to run!"

Jack rushed forward to give chase, but was kicked back by Kassalin.

The other elders wanted to go up.

But a huge silver-winged bat appeared out of nowhere, spreading its wings under the moonlight and blocking the way for the elders. Its scarlet eyes were filled with a thirst for bloodshed.

"Anyone who dares to step forward will die!"

Kasharin stood beside the bat and said coldly.

"Anyone who doesn't step forward will die!"

Suddenly, Jack plunged his silver dagger into the heart of an elder beside him. The elder's face contorted violently, and in no time, her once youthful skin was covered with cracks of aging. She transformed from a beautiful young vampire woman into a hunched old woman, and then she was completely lifeless.

Upon seeing this, all the elders looked terrified and launched a spell attack on Kassalin.

After killing several Obsidian-level elders, the giant silver-winged bat was quickly rendered lifeless, its body stiff as a wax figure, and it collapsed to the ground, unable to move.
