Vampire Overlord System in the Apocalypse

Chapter 394 - The Mysterious Entity Within The Mind Of The Assassins

-----

CRAASSH!

As Alice managed to break the gigantic boulder fired at her, Ethan used this time where she distracted herself to spin at an incredibly fast speed that shouldn't belong on its 50-meter-big body, reaching up to her in the skies of the large separate space of Noah's domain!

FLAAAASSSH!

"GGRROOOARRR!"

CLASH!

The gigantic body slam hit Alice's Soul Beast directly, tearing apart a large chunk of its entire phantasmal body, leaving Alice defenseless!

"Gggrrr…! You're so annoying… No… I have to fight harder, papa and mama, and even Uncle Noah is watching over me… I have to work harder to not disappoint them!" thought the little Alice, having developed greatly since she was born, her mind had become quite eloquent in complex thoughts.

FLAAAAASSSH!

She flew into the skies and left her soul beast as a bait, being torn apart, she raised her two tiny arms as two gigantic arrows were slowly formed!

From the body to the sharp tip, these arrows contained her powerful divinity contained within!

"RRROOOARRR!"

Ethan roared back at her, as it opened his jaws and released two powerful breath beam attacks from within them!

FLASH! FLASH!

The two enormous breath attacks contained powerful divinity within them, enough to blast a weakling into bits! Alice was not a weakling, but her body was still growing, and her soul wasn't so big, so if she were to directly take a hit, she would surely die!

But Alice wasn't a tank to even receive hits… she was a powerful glass cannon!

And like all glass cannons, she packed a punch!

She materialized two gigantic arrows at each hand, infusing them with her entire will, soul, divinity, and divine energy!

FLASH! SPARK!

The two 30-meter-big arrows emerged and completely dwarfed the little girl, how was it possible for such a tiny girl to make such a massive attack, and twice?!

However, little Alice seemed tired. Her thunder armor was actually protecting her from the shockwaves which constantly bathed the place, while also reinforcing her physical abilities.

"Hahh… Hahh… Pandora's Lightning Arrows!"

Naming her arrows after an ancient Greek Goddess that once released all the evils into the world, she released her projectiles that possessed her will to grow stronger and that of protecting and not disappointing her beloved parents! The two arrows were fired at an incredible thundering speed, so fast they resembled rays of light crossing through the skies!

FLAAAAASSSSSSSSHH! FLAAAAASSSSSSSSHH!

The two arrows reached the two beam attacks and pushed forward without issues, blasting away the powerful breath beams and reaching Ethan's two last heads!

They continued forward, reaching the insides of his opened mouths, and rushing inside, burning through everything inside and then exploding within his stomach!

"GGRROOOOAARRRRR…!"

BOOOOOOOMMM!!!

Ethan's entire body began to explode into pieces, his soul shivering in agony…

Alice rushed towards his soul and used her fists to crush it into tiny bits!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

From within the deformed soul, a small cry of something divine within died out, as the soul shattered into glass-like fragments and fell over the corpse…

Ethan's consciousness slowly faded away, as his thoughts dissipated…

"Agh… Mother… Sister… I guess… I am coming back… to you…"

Nattannia looked at Ethan's monstrous corpse. He was her childhood friend, since everything with the royal family happened. Since her mother was killed by her father's wife… since she was thrown into the streets.

She remembered him all this time, a temperamental yet a good friend, nonetheless. He was always bright and desired to protect her, and to bring forth vengeance to what the royal family did to his own mother as well…

This beautiful city of wonders was filled with countless similar stories, behind the façade of a peaceful city there is always a dark side to it, there is always one…

Since she became an assassin for the mysterious church of Gergesh that she knew this would happen… she had prepared herself many times to the death of her friend and her companions.

Yet it was happening so abruptly, so inexplicably… it felt overwhelming. Tear began to come from her beautiful aquamarine eyes as she saw her old friend massacred by a tiny girl. Such an utterly terrifying and bizarre sight…

Had the Gods finally decided that her sins were too many? Is this… divine punishment?

Since when did she strived so far away from the path she once believed? The path her father once instilled into her heart?

Now… there was nothing but a hollow sorrow within her heart.

She recalled his words…

"Nattannia, I will protect you, no matter the odds… No matter what! We'll work together to take down that damn bunch of hypocrites that call themselves royals… We'll do it together…!"

"Ethan… Ooh… Ethan…!"

"You shouldn't cry in the middle of a battle, you know?"

Noah emerged before her as he looked at her face with his glowing crimson-red eyes.

"Ah…!"

"You and your friends have very peculiar powers. From where you got these divine soul fragments, and these divine beast body parts at?" he asked, his eyes flashing within bright light.

"Ah… I… Your bunch is killing my people, yet you want me to answer you truthfully?! Shouldn't you had captured us instead of slaughtering us?!"

"You're assassins that came here to kill us and you expected me to not respond fire with fire? You're a delusional young girl, aren't you?" sighed Noah.

"Ah…! I…! I will fight to the end… Like my friends did…!" Nattannia said, bracing herself as her blades flashed with bright elemental aura from within her soul.

Noah's draconic claws grew sharper as he looked at her with an intimidating blaze from within his eyes.

"Very well then, you'll answer me after I kill you." He said.

Nattannia was doubting, this man's presence was tremendous… could she even stand a chance?

She felt her entire body grow stiff…

Could she even move before his presence?

"Unngh…!"

However, suddenly, a voice whispered to her mind.

"Nattannia… Nattannia…!"

"Eh?!"

The voice of a grotesque being.

"Kill him... KILL HIM!" it roared, taking over her body!

"UUUAAGGGH…!"

"Hm?!"
