Chapter 162: Defeat

Actually, Camille said she didn't want to kill all the Earth people. She even promised that she'd only control M-country and wouldn't let vampires enter other countries. She wanted the two countries to be friends.

She needed Earth people's knowledge to build her ideal world, so she had to keep them alive for now.

But I could tell from her words that she saw Earth people as tools. Once they weren't useful anymore, they'd be in big trouble.

"You don't expect succubi to grow on Earth, right? Just you alone? You know about breeding problems?"

I couldn't help but make fun of her. If monsters might replace humans one day, how they have babies is a big issue.

"Breeding problems?"

Camille looked confused for a moment. Then she waved her hand and said without care:

"We succubi are only female, but we can have pure succubus babies with any race! And a scientist I control says dark element can make some parts of genes change fast, so we don't need to worry about this small problem..."

What a joke! How could I just sit and watch these crazy outsiders take over Earth?

Before she finished talking, a big light beam came down from the sky. It broke through the President's office roof and covered Camille completely.

 To get the first hit, I secretly gathered lots of magic power. My "Lost Paradise Shockwave" was the strongest ever against monsters!

Normal monsters would die from this attack. Even Rasambla would be badly hurt if not dead! But I was shocked to find the dark element in the light beam didn't seem to go down much...

"I see, you decided to say no to my deal? That's too bad! I've been so nice to you!"

In the end, Camille's voice came out. I was surprised she wasn't hurt at all by my strongest attack!

A see-through black shield covered her body. Camille slowly walked out of the light beam. The M-country President, her servant, was also protected.

"So this is how you defend? It's quite rough!"

I said this, but I felt really bad. This black shield looked like a dark version of "Light Shelter", but it had very little magic - it just used dark element to cancel out light element. It's like hitting hard with hard!

But I used almost all of my magic power, plus the extra power from high-level magic. Camille still looked calm, which means she probably has way more power than I thought.

But I couldn't be sure. Maybe she was pretending to be strong like me? I quickly changed to blue wings.

"Try this one!"

Calling Water Abyss Sword was my only big move left! The blue Water Abyss Sword appeared in my hand. It looked way cooler than normal weapons.

"Huh? Your energy almost disappeared. Angels can change wing color? What's this sword? I've never seen it before."

Camille was surprised by my blue wings. It's not strange she didn't know, but this is what I wanted - to surprise her and kill her!

Right after saying that, I lifted Water Abyss Sword and tried to cut her head!

But just when it was about to hit, she easily moved aside and dodged it.

"That's all?"

Even Camille was surprised. At first, she thought my change might be super powerful, but then she saw I could only hit her with a weapon, which wasn't dangerous at all.

Water Abyss Sword is special, but it's useless if it can't hit.

"Come on, try getting hit once!"

I turned and swung my sword to chase her. I only knew some healing water magic, and the element change I just learned was only for defense. So I could only fight hard.

But she wasn't pretending to be strong like I thought. She still had lots of power left! No matter how close I got, I couldn't even scratch Camille's skin with my sword.

Monsters are naturally stronger in body, and she's even stronger than me.

"How about I show you something new too? Don't worry, I won't kill you!"

We fought all around the "Blue Palace" hallway, but I couldn't get any advantage. Camille could see how weak I was. She pointed a finger, and a black "light beam" came down from the sky, covering us both.

This was her dark version of "Lost Paradise Shockwave" that she just learned from me. It wasn't as strong as high-level magic, just using her strong power to make a black pillar, but it still hurt a lot!

It felt like ants biting all over my body. My whole body got swollen and rotten. This was even after I changed to blue wings with water element all around me.

Just this one move made me unable to fight! I could only lie on the ground, slowly healing myself.

"Finally learned your lesson? I think it'd be better if we sat down nicely like before, drinking tea and chatting."

Seeing me lying on the ground, Camille didn't attack again. She sighed and tried to convince me again. "How about thinking about my offer again? You're not planning to stay in this world, right? I heard from H-country prisoners that you were going to leave, but got stuck because of the space portal problem. Earth humans have nothing to do with you, unless there's something I don't know that's keeping you here. So why make trouble for yourself?"

"You're right, I have nothing left to care about in this world..."

Hearing her say this again, I suddenly remembered my parents, and why I chose to leave with Adrian and go back to Eldoria Continent.

I have to admit, Camille's sincere attempt to make peace moved me a bit.

Now I know I can't beat her, so of course I won't be stupid and fight for nothing. But if I can't use force, how can I stop her!

"Don't give up! Letting Camille stay on Earth will destroy the Earth's history. Surely you know why. You must keep fighting, believe in yourself! You can totally beat her!"

For some reason, or maybe because I was hallucinating while healing, I heard Feliciana No. 14 talking to me.

Then I opened my eyes, and really saw a Feliciana No. 14 sitting next to me! But Camille was still standing where she was, completely ignoring this new person, like she couldn't see her at all.

But if I looked closely, I could see this Feliciana No. 14 was see-through. This means she wasn't really here, but was having a one-on-one "video call" with me.

"Come on, you tell me to keep going? Easy for you to say! Why don't you come here yourself? With your power, beating Camille would be super easy for you, so why don't you come save this world?"

Seeing her suddenly made me angry, and I couldn't help but talk back.

It seems like everything I've been through was part of her plan. I don't know exactly what her plan is, but clearly, Feliciana No. 14 must have known about Camille, and set things up for me to meet her and fight her.

"Were you just answering me? No! You seem to be talking to someone else? But there's no one else around. Or did you get hit in the head?"

From Camille's view, I suddenly stood up and started cursing at the air. This strange thing confused her.
