“What?”

 

This piece of news indeed surprised Violet.

 

Soldiers fighting against soldiers, isn’t that a mutiny?!

 

Now, with the ceremony still three days away from ending, even Lilya had only initiated the trial, using relatively gentle means to deal with Ben, her competitor. Who would dare to defy the world and cause trouble forcibly during this period?

 

Are they insane?

 

Violet wanted to inquire about the specifics, but the mirror world, just like the Forgotten Land incident, began to collapse.

 

It seems that this place is specifically used to store the space of that mirror, and the mirror itself is the core of the space.

 

“Well, Xiao Guang, you can come and join me now.”

 

“Yes, master.”

 

As soon as she sent a message to her pet, the inverted spire began to rapidly blur, the surroundings changed, and Violet found herself back in the night sky above the original estate.

 

Violet no longer forcibly maintained invisibility, spreading her wings to keep herself suspended and continued to ascend.

 

Then, she also saw what the little dragon girl described—the capital in chaos.

 

It seems that it began after the priestess entered the estate during the curfew.

 

Looking around, at least six or seven locations in the entire Courage City are erupting into large-scale battles, and Violet recognizes the Royal Palace, Lilya’s Mingluan Hall, and the Adventurers’ Guild among them.

 

There are several other places where fires are burning or conflicts are happening, presumably important special facilities.

 

Just as Violet was quickly contemplating this in her mind, several powerful auras had already risen rapidly from the central passage of the estate, heading straight towards Violet, each at least of sky-level strength.

 

There is no doubt that these are vampires from within the estate.

 

Of course, considering the collapse of the mirror space, if the vampires still couldn’t sense anything, Violet would truly doubt whether they were just pretending.

 

That’s enough of this covert game.

 

Putting on the 【Cognitive Obstruction Mask】, Violet no longer conceals her level 110 aura, fully spreading the magnificent and dazzling wings behind her. The surging bright aura of 【Divine Feather】 emanates, like a dazzling daylight in the night sky.

 

The vampires ascending into the air simultaneously hesitated. Despite being considered strong among their kind, they were almost unable to lift their heads under the majestic aura emanating from Violet.

 

Their previously unstoppable figures, like a torrent crashing into a dam, were forcibly restrained.

 

Violet didn’t do anything more, just suspended in the air like a deity, silently watching as the vampires struggled to climb to a height similar to hers, spreading out in all directions.

 

Opening their dark red bat wings, there were about six or seven vampires surrounding the priestess in the center. The leader was none other than the vampire Grand Duke Julius Constantius, whom she had seen before.

 

However, the one who surpassed the peak, Lucine Constantius, and another elder prince were nowhere to be seen.

 

With a face of uncertainty and surprise, Julius loudly demanded, “Who are you! How dare you arbitrarily destroy our clan’s mirror domain? Hand over the Mirror Core, and we can pretend today’s events never happened!”

 

“Hmm…?”

 

Ignoring Julius, Violet followed the direction they had risen and cast her gaze downward at the estate. The orchard there was also engulfed in a raging fire.

 

Countless black-armored soldiers of the kingdom were rushing through the burning trees, fiercely fighting against the vampires and blood servants pouring out of the estate. The battle had just begun, and it had already descended into intense chaos.

 

What’s going on? Why are they also under attack?

 

If we consider this estate as the secret base of the fourth prince, Devitt, and combine it with the Mingluan Hall that is currently under attack, both the fourth prince and the fifth princess are simultaneously facing assaults. Who could be behind this?

 

“Hey, little devil, the Duke is asking you a question!”

 

Seeing Violet just tilting her head and looking downward without responding, the impatient vampire couldn’t hold back any longer.

 

They seemed to regard Violet and the forces attacking the estate as allies.

 

“Little devil?”

 

The priestess twitched her mouth, and several black lines appeared on her forehead.

 

Since coming to this world, this was the first time someone had called her something so fearless.

 

In fact, Violet’s stature was not small, she could be considered tall, but her slightly flat chest easily led people to misunderstand, thinking, “This little girl shouldn’t be very old, after all, that area hasn’t started developing yet.”

 

So calling her a little devil was equivalent to mocking her in that aspect…

 

“Who’s… a little devil!!!”

 

With flashing white wings, the black-haired girl moved at a speed completely inconsistent with the priestess image, cutting through the light, and instantly appeared above the vampire who had insulted her. In her hand, the holy staff directly descended, aiming for the forehead!

 

The young vampire, whose aura was already quite close to the legendary, was startled by Violet’s speed. However, with rich combat experience, he immediately revealed his weapon – a slender blood spear, placed horizontally beneath the 【Eternal Scepter of the World’s Heart】.

 

However.

 

Crack…

 

The weapon, seemingly crafted in imitation of the 【The Godslayer Spear Longinus】, had reached the purple-grade level but was utterly unable to withstand the attack of the Divine-tier artifact, instantly snapping.

 

“Ahhhh!”

 

In the midst of a miserable scream, the slender and peculiar holy staff struck the guy’s head like a battering ram. Following that, the young man, descending faster than when he ascended, plummeted straight down like a fallen bird with clipped wings, landing in the burning sea of fire below in the blink of an eye.

 

“Rick!”

 

“Hey hey… Is this a joke?”

 

Several vampires were completely daunted by the priestess’s terrifying speed and strength, momentarily unable to move.

 

Julius, the leader, swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

 

He glanced at the intense battlefield below, reluctantly gathered his spirits, and shifted his gaze to the white-robed, black-haired girl who had just sent off one of their companions.

 

“Our clan has not had any grudges with Your Excellency, such a formidable opponent. Today, attacking our vampire territory with a force, could it be at the behest of the Human United Kingdom? If so, we can…”

 

“Stop!”

 

Impatiently raising her holy staff, Violet directly interrupted the persuasion with physical intimidation.

 

“Don’t babble on. Right now, you’re surrounding me. Either fight or get lost. I’m in a hurry, thank you.”

 

Julius was momentarily stunned. Despite his youthful appearance, he was an old fellow who had lived for centuries and was adept at interpersonal relations. He immediately understood that this terrifying girl in front of him was not aligned with the attackers.

 

As he considered withdrawing, he suddenly remembered the missing treasure that had likely been taken by the other party…

 

It was an item he had borrowed with repeated assurances to the Prince, meant to be returned after this operation. If it was lost, even as a Grand Duke, he would undoubtedly face a miserable fate, much worse than dying on the battlefield.

 

Summoning courage, Julius cautiously attempted to negotiate.

 

“We can leave, but please return the 【Mirror Core】 to our clan. If that’s not possible, we can accept an exchange of goods, but this is the one point we can’t compromise on. Please don’t force me.”

 

“Huh? What mirror…”

 

Just as she furrowed her brows and was about to say something, Violet suddenly froze.

 

She wasn’t someone who acted unreasonably. While she did cause quite a bit of havoc by sneaking in, if the other party had reached this level of discussion, Violet could consider it.

 

The main issue was that she disliked trouble and didn’t want to casually resort to killing.

 

Since realizing the shift in her own mindset, the priestess had been restraining that indifferent feeling towards life.

 

… That guy earlier, he was just loose-lipped. No wonder.

 

However, that 【Mirror Core】, it’s probably already consumed by the 【Blood of Dawn】, right? There’s no way she can hand over such a sacred-level item to the other side.

 

In a tough spot, Violet could only shake her head reluctantly.

 

“No.”

 

“… I see, that’s a shame.”

 

Julius was stunned. After a moment, he lowered his head, and the glow in his dark red eyes gradually dimmed. Flapping his bat wings, he began to retreat.

 

The vampires, rumored to be close to legendary status, immediately caught on and floated backward simultaneously.

 

Violet squinted her eyes, she sensed the gradually dispersing and subtle killing intent.

 

Indeed, it’s a bit regrettable.

 

Just as the vampires were retreating to their respective positions, reaching a specific location.

 

“Attack! Joint Forbidden Curse — Blood Feast!”

 

“With my blood, boil!”

 

Six vampires simultaneously raised their hands, creating a gigantic blood-red hexagram in the night sky, resembling the arrangement of the six rooms on the fifth floor of the estate!

 

This was a true forbidden curse passed down by the Ancestor of Blood Clan to the Six Royals.

 

Although Julius, a Grand Duke, and his teammates of varying strengths could only unleash one-tenth of the forbidden curse’s power, it was enough to contend with ordinary trascendent-level powerhouses.

 

Julius had sharp eyes, this white-robed girl… while her initial display of aura indeed almost suffocated him, the speed and strength she demonstrated later, especially when dealing with Rick, surpassed the high-level legendary level.

 

Even though the appearance of the weapon she held gave the Duke some very ominous feelings, at this moment, he had no other choice but to take a desperate gamble.

 

Either way, it was death.

 

As long as they could hold her off until the two princes arrived…

 

At this moment, a rapidly intensifying and resounding dragon roar echoed in the ears of the vampires.

 

“Roar! Seeking death!!”

 

A surging white aurora crossed through the sky like an overwhelming pillar, drawing a brilliant arc in the night, instantly engulfing the six vampires and the blood-red magic array.

 

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!

 

The white light tore through the night sky, consecutively piercing through several tall buildings standing in its path, finally disappearing into the distance.

 

Ah…

 

Listening to the massive rumbling brought by countless rocks and ground impacts, the expression on the priestess’s face froze in indifference.

 

Well, now it’s even more chaotic.
