Chapter 691 Ignorant
Riding on Onyx, Evie arrived at the vampire's capital. Onyx did not even blow any fire yet, but everyone was already cowering in fear as his ma.s.sive shadow sped over them. r
The previous times Evie came to the vampire kingdom, she had been riding on Crimson as she was the smallest of all her dragons and the least intimidating. She had always wanted to show the vampires that she did not mean them any harm. She had not wanted to use the dragons to instill fear in them and force their cooperation. But this time, because of this rebellion, Evie had decided to finally be serious and reveal the might of her dragons. r
It seemed that there was no other choice but to do this. Since they were not taking her seriously when she was trying to be a good and kind to them, then she would use her power and instill fear. If that would stop them from trying to fight and cause any more bloodshed, then she would be willing to take that approach. She had decided to be a tyrant for them if that was what it takes to make the vampires drop their weapons and stop the fighting. r
She had just wanted the vampires to hold and be patient with her until their King's return. And that was why she had been patient with them despite all their refusal and disdain and disobedience. But this time, they had crossed the line and the opposing factions they had created killed their fellow vampires just because they had been obedient to her wishes. r
As the majestic Black dragon hover menacingly over the capital where several areas have already been on fire, Evie watched as the vampires looked up, forgetting momentarily they were in the middle of a battle. r
When Onyx landed on the top of Royal Palace, the dragon gave a chilling loud shriek that had everyone, even those who were fighting on the inside, to halt in their actions. That warning bellow from Onyx had instinctively caused their survival reactions to go full on and they cowered where they stood.r
All of them immediately felt fear as they could still remember that time when the dragons came and fought in their city and destroyed and crumbled parts of this palace to dust. r
Another loud shriek echoed a few minutes following the first. It made the vampires wonder if that was a warning before the Light Queen decided to burn them all into ashes. r
"Let's... let's run!" one of the vampire soldiers shouted in fear. "That monster is going to incinerate us all! I'm not going to just sit still and die here! And not by fire!"r
When the third chilling shriek echoed close on the heels of the second one, the vampires began to scurry around and leave the insides of the palace. Fearing that they would be scorched to death within the palace if they did not get out as soon as possible. They did not care any longer for their fight and rushed out in the hopes of getting as far away as they can from the Royal Palace. r
And just like that, chaos quickly ensued as the rebels began to flee helter skelter. r
However, little did they know that Queen Evie had long ordered the formation of a barrier that was already in place around the palace, stopping anyone and everyone from fleeing. The light faes who had come along with her had placed the barrier right outside the castle grounds and the vampires with them caught the rebels. r
With the involvement of magic and dragons and the insane abilities of the elite vampires under the Light Queen's command, the rebels were brought to their knees quicker than anyone would ever imagine. r
Upon hearing from Zolan that everyone had already been gathered and sent back to the palace's ma.s.sive inner bailey, Evie asked Onyx to land right before the few hundreds of men kneeling on the ground. r
Majestically, the ma.s.sive dragon made his daunting landing. Onyx's wide wingspan and powerful downward flaps created a strong wind that literally caused everyone to take a step back from the air pressure. And then Onyx opened his mouth at them. r
Some of the vampires started to scream out b.l.o.o.d.y murder while the others were too stunned to even react and stood rooted to the spot, faces as white as paper. When Onyx shrieked at them and let his scorching breath sweep pa.s.s all over them, they all thought that it was their end. Some lesser vampires even peed their pants from fear of being either eaten or burnt alive. r
But surprisingly even after a few breaths, they did not die. The dragon merely let out a gust of hot air, not fire. r
When they lifted their fearful faces again, they saw that the Light Queen was now standing like the G.o.ddess of Light on the head of the dragon. They were struck at how she was a vision of beauty, power and also threateningly frightful at the same time.
Almost all of them started to tremble against their will. However, they could not help it. Her terrrifying dark dragon and the pressure of her power and majestic aura was just too physically compelling that they could only submit to it. r
"Watch our Queen, you idiots!" Luc's yell echoed proudly. "That's the same queen you idiots were disrespecting. You f**king dared to challenge her? How idiotic! Now where are your f**king bravery, now? Huh?!" r
"Look at them, p.i.s.sing themselves just because a dragon just breathed out before them." Reed shook his head before scoffing. "And it was only one small puff! Tsk tsk tsk..."r
"They are all ignorant." Samuel b.u.t.ted in, nodding sagely. "These poor fellow vampires of ours still think that they are the most superior creatures in the whole of Lirea. And their overinflated pride can't bear to accept that there is someone who is stronger than us. If they only knew what kind of creatures are still out there in places they never knew existed." r
