The Freed S*aves Became Obsessed

The hall was surprisingly clean for a battlefield.

Elise stood with an impassive expression, while the vampire maids cowered in a corner, trembling.

The fight had been a one-sided display of Elise’s overwhelming superiority. Just because one descended from the True Ancestors didn’t mean they were skilled in battle.

Damian excelled in mental magic rather than direct combat. He preferred using blood as a medium to control his subordinates, making them his limbs in proxy battles.

Unfortunately, his opponent was Elise, bound by a contract of subjugation.

Worse still, Elise was a vampire who wielded divine power—a vampire who knew exactly how to kill her own kind.

Like a stake to the heart, her divine light pierced Damian’s chest.

He tried to block it with a veil of blood, but just like a priest’s divine shield, it held little effectiveness against Elise.

Their essences were the same.

Damian’s blood veil didn’t recognize Elise’s magic as an attack.

Instead, it absorbed the holy light, welcoming it in.

A beam infused with both blood and divinity shot straight through his hollow heart.

"Ghhkk…"

Vampires could only be killed by a stake to the heart.

Divine power was a force specialized in eradicating vampires.

In other words, a stake forged from divine power—through the heart—would kill them even faster.

And indeed, the effect was immediate.@@novelbin@@

Damian’s body began turning to ash, starting from his heart.

As he crumbled away, Elise smiled at him.

"May you find your way to heaven instead of hell. You’ll be quite popular there, I’m sure."

Elise’s voice dripped with mockery.

Damian responded with a smile.

"As a father, how could I leave my daughters behind? How could I abandon you when you don’t even know where you belong?"

"What are you…?"

"I see it."

"A bat that has lost its place, unable to stand on either side."

Would she side with beasts or birds?

A bat, forever teetering between two worlds, constantly weighing its options—only to end up belonging nowhere.

"Don’t worry. This father is on your side. Let me be clear, Elise. You are not a Saintess. You are not human. You are a vampire, just like us."
