Sparring with the Crimsons.

In the throne room, a hundred soldiers stood tall and proud. They reeked of bloodshed and they looked vicious. They were the new generation Crimsons. Every generation had Crimsons and after that generation, the Crimsons that were alive left to either join the academy to teach more crimsons or they joined the Vampire legion. The vampire legion was the army of the kingdom that protected them from several underlying threats. They were a bloodthirsty horde; they literally drank the blood of their enemies in battles.

Vampires did not need to physically drink blood. They could drain the energy of a person by touching them or having eye contact with that person but this army drank blood to destroy the enemies' morale.

The Crimsons in the throne room stood still until Tenebrea walked in. Every single vampire got on their knees. She was dressed in a black dress, that had slits on both sides. Her skin looked supple with her bright red eyes, and her puffy, blood-red lips. Several vampires in the court gulped as they oogled at her seductive legs, they controlled their desire, as they knew they did not even dare have her.

She sat down on the throne and the Crimsons saluted her

"All hail the queen!"

She nodded and everyone stood back up. She smiled as she stared at the captain of the Crimsons. The captain of the Crimsons was a young lady with red hair, red eyes and a really pretty face. The only downside was her cold looking expression. The reason why Tenebrea smiled was because there was a black and red light shining off of the Crimsons' captain.

'I can't believe it. A person with Conquerors' potential and they are not trying to kill me. This is marvelous' Tenebrea was rejoicing in her mind. In all her years, people that had the dark red aura in her eyes always tried to kill her. They were incredibly strong but she always won, and now, she had someone with the same potential in her ranks. As she thought about the possibilities, excitement overcame her.

Everyone saw her expression of excitement and thought the Crimsons made her that way. She noticed she was in her head again and cleared her throat. She noted that the Crimsons were all peak blue ranks, and nodded as she got up from her throne. She then said "You guys look terrifying but I need to see you in action"

The vampires thought she was going to lead them on a conquest as a test but she then said something that confused them all.

"You all are going to fight me." Everyone was baffled

"Oh don't worry. It would be a fair fight." They were still shocked but maybe their queen wanted to test the strength of each Crimson but her next words broke everyone's expectations

"So you all come together"

They tried persuading her to face them one at a time but she was adamant.

"My queen, a single Crimson can face 10 opponents of the same level and defeat them effortlessly. Please reconsider" The trainer of the Crimsons said

"Oh they are that strong?" She pondered. The instructor thought he finally got to her but she once again disappointed him

"It doesn't matter. You all come together" She stretched her hands and in a second, a giant scythe flew across the halls and landed in her hands. She stroked it like her pet and looked at the Crimsons again.

"Do not let me repeat myself. All of you together" Her voice reverberated throughout the hall, bringing fear to everyone's heart.

"You heard the queen. Attack her" The instructor said and while the Crimsons were a bit surprised, they adjusted and formed a battle formation.

They surrounded their queen and attacked together. Five people reached her at the same time and all she did was make a casual swing with her scythe. Those five vampires had cut marks all over their bodies and were groaning in pain on the ground. She yawned and jumped forward at the hesitating vampires. Before anybody could even gasp, twenty vampires were on the floor and counting.

Like Licht, though Tenebrea was weaker than before, she had accumulated experience of several thousands of years, she had killed millions of beings, and mastered several techniques, so facing kids still wet behind the ears was relatively easy for her and even though they could face opponents that were 2 small ranks above them, she could face an enemy that was an entire realm above her and win effortlessly.

In a minute, ninety nine percent of the Crimsons were on the floor groaning in pain. She faced their leader who had tried to attack her but she always dodged while taking out the others.

The captain stared at her queen and there was fire in her eyes. Literally, there were flames in her pupils. She had a crossbow and dagger in each hand and they were also engulfed in the red flames. The flames were the color of blood (because why not).

She yelled, and dashed towards Tenebrea who just kept smiling. The captain of the Crimsons thrust forward but it was parried by a swing of the scythe. Tenebrea counterattacked by using the base of the scythe to attack. The hit connected as it was not expected. The captain of the Crimsons was sent rolling backwards and then transitioned into a wobbly backflip. She widened her eyes as she saw Tenebrea above her slashing down with the scythe. She managed to deflect the attack and slash at Tenebrea who just effortlessly dodged the attack. Seeing the distance between them, she fired her crossbow at alarming speeds but all of the bolts fired were caught by Tenebrea. She threw the bolts aside and dashed back in not giving the captain an opportunity to fire more bolts. Note that all of these happened in under ten seconds and they exchanged more blows for another 30 seconds before Tenebrea jumped backwards with a smile.

The crimson captain had sweat streaming down her face. She felt those were the longest 30 seconds of her life. She was waiting for the queen to attack but she walked to her throne and sat back down.

The Crimsons' captain was confused, looking around she saw people looking at her armor. She looked down and her armor was destroyed. The queen had used her scythe to write the words "I win" into her armor during the fight and without her even noticing, she had been breached.

She felt respect for the queen. Though they had the same cultivation base, she was far stronger than her.
