Chapter 9

The two knights readied their weapons and dashed to attack the vampire. Celeste just smirked at this as her body was covered in a blood red aura and then several magic circles appeared behind her. The knights stopped when they saw the circles and then beams shot towards them from the circles.

Harg jumped out of the way while Altria dashed forward as she dodged the beams as she ran towards her. Celeste smiled a bit when she saw it while Altria tried to get close to her. Harg meanwhile was dodging the beams but isn't able to catch up with Altria since he isn't as nimble as her.

'I have to defeat her fast. If I drag this battle too long then she will win.' Altria thought to herself as she ran.

Her armor glowed a bit as her speed increased which caught the attention of Celeste.

'Ah so he has enchanted armor. She will be a nice addition to my master's slaves.' Celeste thought with a smile.

Altria saw her smiled which angered her as she shot forward. She had reached the steps to the throne as more magic circles appeared behind the vampires back. Beams shot towards the knight as she used her sword to block them. The sword glowed a yellow colour as it blocked the magic beams.

Altria slashed her sword and sent a wave of energy at the magic circles which destroyed them impressing Celeste. Altria dashed with her sword poised for an attack and swung her blade at the vampiress. Except that before the blade could touch her various tendrils made of red energy wrapped around her body and stopped her.

"Wh-What!" Altria said surprised at the new kind of tactic.

"You're very good. As expected of the one who managed to kill a Vampire Lord." Celeste said as she cupped Altria's right cheek.

"What are you going to do? Kill me!?" Altria spat at her as she glared at her.

"Oh no, you'll be much more useful as my master's slave." Celeste said with a smile.

"Your master?" Altria said confused.

"Yes but before that." Celeste said as her eyes glowed red.

She then moved behind the knight surprising her as she moved her head to the left with her left hand and then sunk her teeth into her soft neck.

"Ah!" Altria let out when she felt the fangs.

Celeste started to suck blood from her body as she used her tendrils to start removing her armor. Altria wanted to get away from her but she was immobilised and her armor wasn't much help as well.

'Uhnn, her blood is quite good. I hope master will let me drink her blood more.' Celeste thought as she savoured the knights blood.

'I can't lose. I can't lose here.' Altria meanwhile thought as she gripped her sword.

Celeste saw this and grabbed the blade and though it hurt grabbing a holy item she pried the blade of the knights hands. She looked at her right hand which was burned but it was healed by a red aura which caused her to smile.

'Thank you master.' Celeste thought with a smile.

She then kept on sucking the knights blood while the knight herself felt her body getting weaker. Celeste then stopped and licked the wound causing shivers to go through the knights spine. Celeste then appeared before the knight as she glared at her.

"Now I'll send you to my Master. Oh sorry, our master." Celeste said with a giggle as a magic circle appeared beneath the knight.

"Wah!" Altria said surprised before she disappeared in bright light.

"Oh I'm sure she's gonna adore him when he's finished with her." Celeste said with a giggle.

She then turned her attention to the other knight Harg who is laying wounded on the ground. While Altria was charging at Celeste the other beams had managed to damage him. Of course due to him being more bulky he had more endurance but he was ultimately beaten.

"Now, what do I do with you?" Celeste said as she chuckled with her eyes glowing.

At the same time the magic circle which appeared beneath Altria appeared in another room as she appeared from it. She stumbled forward a bit but managed to catch herself as she looked around.

"Welcome glad you could make it here." Zahhak's voice was heard.

Altria turned at the direction of the voice and found Zahhak on the bed with a smile on his face. It should also be noted that he isn't wearing anything but underwear. The female knight blushed at his attire but then glared at him as she got into a hand to hand combat stance.

"Oh~, so you're going to battle me even though you don't have your holy sword?" Zahhak asked amused.

"Of course, I am a knight of the kingdom of Albion. My duty is to protect it and it's people from monsters like you. Even without the holy sword I will still fight you." Altria said with determined gaze.

"An admirable goal but unfortunately for you, you're not strong enough." Zahhak said as his eyes glowed.

Then tendrils made of red energy shot forward and grabbed Altria's body while she yelped as she tried to get out of it. She struggled but she wasn't able to break free from them as the tendrils brought her in front of him as she glared at him. Zahhak meanwhile smirked at her.

"It's quite difficult without a mage isn't it." Zahhak rhetorically said as he caressed her right cheek.

Altria shook her head to remove his hand which only caused him to chuckle as he grabbed her chin and made her look his way. He smiled as he looked at her as his eyes glowed crimson.

"Do not worry Altria Pendragon. I will make sure that you enjoy this. After all, you're gonna be mine for the rest of your life." Zahhak said with a smirk as Altria has a horrified expression.
