Lucky 271
Just like the tradition of the First Order, the Clan had another tradition that they respect. It was the duel to take the position of Patriarch. It was a death battle where the winner takes the position of Patriarch while the loser would die.
Scarlett Robinson is a talented woman and the Elders did not want to lose her.
However, Scarlett's decision was already cemented. She was staring straight into Dario's serpent eyes.
"Muahahaha!"
Dario started laughing. He did not expect that his niece was so eager to die.
Dario is 3rd Advanced while Scarlett just recently broke through the 2nd Advanced. Their strength was not equal.
"So be it. If you want to die that early, I will give you what you want. It is such a pity that someone talented like you will die. Scarlett, I just want to strengthen our Clan by linking the two Clans."
"Ptui--! Just shut up and fight me."
She spat, disgusted by his excuse. General Bronal did his best to protect Scarlett from the dirty politics, yet she was deeply affected by the Clan's intention.
Dario was laughing like a madman. He nodded and approached her.
The meeting place was wide and enough for them to fight. Besides, Dario was confident that he could end this battle quickly.
'It such a pity that I will kill a talented woman like her.'
This is a death battle. And he had to show his strength and willpower to the Elders.
"Let's start when you're ready. You can have your last conversation with that maid of yours if you want."
Scarlett looked at Athena. She opened her mouth and spoke.
"No matter what happened, don't interfere. This is my fight."
She was serious. A flame arrow gradually enveloped her, showing that she was ready to kill her uncle.
'I don't want to kill him, but since he is asking for it, then I will not hesitate.'
Dario Robinson made his First Order and it was a big slap to Scarlett. Perhaps even Bronal would be mad once he learned about it.
So, Scarlett would fix this problem on her own.
There is a way to prevent the First Order-- by killing the Patriarch.
The duel is a sacred ceremony and no one would stop it. The Elders must watch and prevent any disturbance.
Dario was just standing, waiting for his niece to attack.
"I hope you are ready to die."
"So are you."
They were both releasing powerful flames that the ground beneath them started melting.
To end this farce quickly, Dario made his attack. He cast his Spell and pillars of orange flames surrounded the two.
"Say hi to your tree mom for me."
Dario mocked and the orange pillars engulfed Scarlett.
Of course he did not use his most powerful ability since he deemed the weak unworthy.
The flame was igniting so fast that the Elders frowned.
"Indeed, Dario become stronger."
The Elders nodded and acknowledged that the battle was over.
However, Athena, who should be desperate looked calm.
Out of all the people here, Athena had an idea of Scarlett's real strength. She could overcome this kind of flame.
All she had to do was wait.
"Okay, I guess it's time to stop this joke--"
"I thought you are going to kill me? Then why are you giving me tanning?"
Scarlett took a step and escaped the pillars. She did not receive any damage, she even protected her dress.
She crossed her arms, staring at her uncle.
"Hoh..."
Dario frowned.
"Then I guess I have to take this seriously."
"It's over."
Scarlett yawned. She looked calm.
"What do you mean?"
"You're already dead."
Omae Wa Mou Shindeiru
"What?"
Nani?
Just like the classic meme of Fist of the North Star.
Dario was confused at first. However, he felt that his insides were burning. He screamed in pain and looked at Scarlett. He was afraid.
"W- what did you do to me?"
He kneeled and started coughing blood.
The Elders were startled when they witnessed the scene.
Dario was slowly dying, every pore in his skin released blood. He was screaming the whole time, asking for help.
"H- help! Stop her! Aaahhh!"
Dario's eyes cried blood.
The Elders were pale and they shook their heads. They were afraid too. They took a step back and distance themselves.
"Scarlett!"
He screamed for the last time as his body enlarged.
--Pop!
His body exploded and blood splattered around. Dario died just like that.
The Elders were shocked but they immediately understood what happened.
Suddenly, one of the Elders, the one who voted against Dario kneeled in front of Scarlett.
"I bow down before the youngest 3rd Advanced!"
That's right, Scarlett used a new power to kill Dario. This only means one answer, Scarlett became a 3rd Advanced.
She acquired another ability!
The Blood Moon made her stronger after she overcame the process. Furthermore, her characteristics as Vampire were showing up. Her ability to control blood.
"I guess every one of you understand the gist right?"
She asked. Her crimson eyes were glowing under the dark.
"Y- yes."
One by one, the Elders bowed their heads before her. They realized that it was impossible to block Scarlett.
'I actually don't want to show my power but that asshole forced me.'
Even Calix and the other girls did not know that she broke through. She was using it as a trump card.
Sadly, it seemed that she had to find another way.
"Patriarch, no, Matriarch Scarlett! We are hereby, listening to your First Order."
The loyal Elder spoke.
"Very well, my first order is to eliminate all of Dario's children, in-laws, and grandchildren."
"!!!"
They were horrified and disturbed. No one expected that Scarlett would do something terrifying.
However, when they looked into her eyes, all they could see was the glowing blood.
Dario had two sons, three daughters, and seven grandchildren.
Yet Scarlett did not budge. She was waiting for the Elders to do their job.
"What are you waiting for? The Matriarch has spoken!"
In the end, the loyal Elder named Lammas stood up and ordered the warriors to bring Dario's relative.
'It is necessary. These old farts don't respect me, so I will show them what will happen if they betray me.'
.........
......
...
In the end, Scarlett killed her relatives. There was no hesitation and she did not stop no matter how many times they scream for forgiveness.
It was not surprising that she did not feel remorse. Perhaps this was the path of being a Vampire.
