Chapter 1058 The Vicious Vampire Queen

-----

Red looked into the window of her room, as she drank from a cup filled with fresh blood. Her red eyes glanced across the snowy horizon, a smile surged in her beautiful lips, showing her sharp fangs. Despite being a Soul Fragment of Oberon, the first and most powerful Venerable, her mind had changed accordingly with her body and nature over the many years since her conception. Artificially created to imitate the power of Vampires which Oberon"s Soul Fragments were intrigued on; she could be said to be one of the youngest of the Soul Fragments to have existed.

Because of this, the other Soul Fragments, or "colors" always looked down at her. As if she was inferior to them, to their great intelligence, experience, and power. Despite her being perhaps just as strong in many ways, and developing brand new abilities and magic they could never fathom to hold… She felt resentful of their treatment, of their cold stares, of all of it. Eventually, her nature and mind shaped itself, becoming cold and emotionless, much like them, but perhaps even worse.

Within her mind, despite always cooperating with the colors, she was always thinking of ways… ways to betray them and kill them all, to absorb their powers and become the strongest of all the Colors. She has been trying to find ways. One of them slowly emerged in her life, as she settled down for years and years… Ruby, a creation made by the Vampire Venerable.

A girl that was made to become his vessel. She wasn"t artificially made like Red, but she was birthed through normal ways. Going down through a long bloodline of vampire"s direct descendants of him, the Vampire Venerable. She was born with the ideal affinity for his soul, with the ideal level of abilities, magic, and powers… Red wanted her.

Over the years she infiltrated this small hidden family of Vampires, first becoming a servant in disguise, and slowly she climbed her ranks through power and loyalty. Ultimately, she took down the former leader of the family and took his place. Since then, the vampires who lived simple and peaceful lives with the mortals they took care of and which they asked blood occasionally as the only offering suddenly have their entire lives changed.

Her true face was shown, her tyranny and her strength were overwhelming. Those that tried to rebel against her telling her she was not a true Pure Blood were slain, one by one. With terror and strength, she forced all the Vampires to do as she said, and to become her slaves. The last descendants of the Vampire Venerable becoming the slaves of Oberon"s Soul Fragment… it went just as Oberon have wanted.

The Von Sange Family was shackled by her tyranny, and Ruby"s mother knew very well the intentions of Red and the other Soul Fragments, they wanted to use her daughter for their vile purposes, denying her of her fate to become the vessel of their ancestor… of course, as a whole, her own mentality was still twisted, as she still wanted Ruby to become a vessel, without actually thinking on her girl"s freedom.

Nonetheless, in hopes to protect her and therefore the vessel of her ancestor, which the Von Sange Family treated as a G.o.d, she sent her off using magic, so she could survive and not become a tool for Oberon"s machinations.

"Who would had thought that Vampire would become so desperate…"

However, things took a strange turn of events. Over time, the Vampire Venerable became restless. Knowing fully well that Oberon had him cornered, he ended accepting an alliance with him, so they could both fight against the menaces trying to get in the middle of their path, which included the mysterious Immortal Ice Dragon, Drake.

He used his powers over Ruby"s pendant and convinced her to go back to where she belonged, her house. His plan was simple, he was going to give them help and they would not touch Ruby, which would eventually become his vessel. Like this, the Vampire Venerable shared the power of the Vampires with them, from powerful divine treasures to divine materials and many other things he possessed, even special items he had made possessing part of the Unique Skill"s powers he was born in this world.

All to attain Ruby once more.

However, ultimately, everything could also be taken away from his grasp just as easily. However Oberon was surprisingly someone that wouldn"t easily go against his words…. But Red would. A smile surged in her lips as she glanced back into the room where she was, a large room where many other Vampires wearing black cloaks were slowly preparing a powerful Vampiric Blood Ritual.

Ruby was unconscious in the floor, her attempts at escaping having failed as she as captured by Red just as easily. She thought she could have a chance with Drake"s Divine Dragon Mark enhancing her power and helping her cultivate to gain strength, but the gap between her and the overwhelming power of Red were too wide… not only her power, but Red"s watchfulness, cunningness, and scheming mind were rather superior, perhaps in par or even above Greenwood"s.

"Foolish little girl… You"ve really triggered this to happen, it is all your fault." She said with a seductive smile, walking slowly towards Ruby who was over the floor. "If you simply stayed where you were… Maybe I would had thought it twice! But now that things have come to this… I am simply tired of obeying their d.a.m.ned orders. You, your powers, and the Venerable that is your ancestor will all become my strength. And with it, as long as I collect the other Crystalized fragments of his soul… I"ll be unstoppable."

Red"s ambitions had finally come together, and she was officially betraying Greenwood and the other Soul Fragments of Oberon to gain power over what she could had ever imagined.

"Oh, they"re here…"

She quickly looked up into the sky, her vampiric eyes easily glanced across the ceiling as she saw within the skies a large dragon emerge…

"Let"s give them a warm welcome, shall we~?"
