Tears of Blood

The black turtle was paralyzed watching such a scene. His partner for life, who had accompanied him throughout all his adventures, died like this, in such an undignified manner. The black turtle could not accept such a thing. His spiritual energy erupted, and a sound that only he could hear sounded from within his massive body.

Creak

In search of power beyond comprehension, the black turtle broke his magical core in search of boundless spiritual energy for his revenge, the black turtle sacrificed his own life.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

Amanda was sent flying from where she was, and the deer also flew away. The spiritual energy that the black turtle was releasing now, was something similar to Flugel or the eternal in their previous fight. Waves of water, like waves breaking against the shore, were almost visible around the black turtle. There was no real water, but its spiritual energy was so dense, it created a pseudo-domain around it.

"You heartless, low-existence being. You killed my companion! Not even in a million years... with a billion reincarnations, I will never forgive such a cowardly act, you poisonous serpent!" The turtle's voice was so loud and thunderous that the earth below where the turtle was flying, broke and cracked just from its voice.

"Fuhuhuhu. Funny that statement of yours. Your master sent an eternal and the heralds in search of my head and that of my cub, but if I react and kill someone it is a cowardly act? That's really hilarious!" Amanda's angelic voice sounded as she regained her composure.

The deer, who was watching everything from afar, didn't know how to react. This was only supposed to be a capture mission, Flugel was supposed to be being held by the eternal, but nothing was going as planned. The deer knew that it should wait until the end of the fight to act. When magical beasts lose control of their emotions they are too unstable, some even forget who their allies are. Walking away slowly, the deer forgot that there were still the creatures created by Amanda.

"Damned artificial life!" The deer screamed at the top of its lungs before fighting back.

Amanda was now creating walls made of trees and roots, and still, it wasn't enough. A tsunami that seemed to usher at the end of the world was coming towards her, and from the sky, acid rain was beginning to fall.

"I will kill you and extinguish the existence of this world! No one else is worthy to exist before me!" While launching attacks the black turtle cursed existence.

Although she found this hilarious, Amanda was not in a situation where she could laugh. The tsunami waters flooded the entire circumcising scene, and the wooden walls created by Amanda could barely stand. Amanda was in an unfavorable situation, she knew she had no more power than her opponent, but she could not be beaten. Flugel would not lose. As weakened as it was, it was still a powerful beast and would not be defeated by someone weaker.

The problem was that with each passing minute, more plant life was dying in combat with the deer, and Amanda couldn't stand to see it any longer. She knew that if this continued for too long, she would win, but it would cost her her life. Making a decision, Amanda circulated her spiritual energy in her body so fast that her Rank 10 magic core could barely support it.

Amanda's body glowed with a weak silvery light, and all the creations of her Plant element, began to change color. Perhaps because they were born in this dark world with a strange fauna, all the magic beasts of the Plant element always used dark plants like the one in this world.

But Amanda could create plants of all colors, and they all had a different use. Amanda roared and all the spiritual energy circulating in her body erupted, the forest that was farthest away and momentarily safe from the black turtle's tsunami, began to grow and expand at an abnormal and unbelievable speed.

All the new trees and plants all had a flaming red color. Before long, new creatures formed, and ran towards the black turtle. They were all spitting fire and creating walls of flame, as if they were descendants of Flugel!

With another roar and using all that was left of her spiritual energy, Amanda created new life, and they were all brown, as if made of clay. They came together and created a kind of Earth Golem, and with unfathomable strength, it set off on top of the black turtle. Amanda was exhausted, and could barely maintain steady flight.

"You damn treacherous serpent! Face me like a true magical beast! Stop creating these abominations!" The black turtle roared at the top of its lungs.

Its time was running out. Every second that passed, its life was decreasing exponentially, and seeing its life, like running water flowing between its fingers, the black turtle was filled with impatience. The black turtle was at peace with its impending death, but refused to die without its revenge.

Amanda slowly descended into the forest she created, lay down and rested her tired body, and was embraced by the entire forest. Amanda was at peace and washed her hands of the outcome of the battle. She had done all she could, and there was no strength left in her body.

****************************

The king of the vampires had become a legendary figure for all new vampires. It had been centuries since the last time the vampire king had appeared before any living being. Because of this, various legends had arisen about the king, about his appearance and powers. But one thing was certain, he was someone at the top of the food chain, and there was no one who could doubt this fact.

Even at the vampire king's first appearance, he was already at the height of his power. Because of this, every young vampire, whether a noble vampire or a vampire servant, all love and fear their king. Hellen was no different. Her mother was a countess, she is related to the vampire hierarchy, she is above all and below few.

Being of such a race, where their progenitor and king is an existence at the top, all vampires without exception are proud beings who believe they are on top of the world. Everything and everyone exists to serve them. Hellen was like this too. Her childhood and adolescence, where she was always surrounded by noble vampires her own age, always lived in a glass dome, thinking she was the best species in the entire universe.

It wasn't until several years later that Hellen noticed that the golden age of vampires was gone, and they currently live in the dark age of vampires. Her mother took her to see life outside the castle. The vampires looked like empty, soulless bodies. Hellen's image of vampires, noble and grand, was gone that day.

"In this world, my dear Hellen, vampires can no longer be vampires. We are beings of long life expectancy, and because we live so long, we live our lives unhurriedly, patiently, and without counting how many years pass. But in this world, we have to live always expecting a worse tomorrow. We live each day as if it were the last. This is horrible for beings who prefer to live lazily. It is like asking a whale, which lives for hundreds of years, to live its life like a fly, which lives for only 28 days." The countess told Hellen.

Hellen didn't quite understand what this meant. But her personality was naturally good, and she felt the need, as a future countess, to help her subjects. She needed a way to solve the evil of vampires.

"Mother, if this place is so harmful to us, why are we still here? Can't we just go back to the vampire home?" Hellen asked with genuine concern.

"No my silly daughter. The king, before he left, ordered his brother, the blood marquis, and our county house, to help the magical beasts. It is our duty to carry out our king's orders, regardless of the cost." The countess said in a serious voice.

"Mother, I know this may be taken the wrong way by others, but I still must ask. Has it never crossed the vampires' minds that the king is gone? I mean, that he is dead?" Hellen asked as she squirmed in her chair.

They were currently on a desolate mountain, in a desolate landscape, not a single living thing could be found. This was the ancient world of the magical beasts. The once vibrant planet with the best landscapes, was gone and all that was left was destruction.

"This is impossible, silly girl. In my childhood, I saw the king with my own eyes when your grandmother went to a meeting once. That man... that being cannot die. Even if he wanted to, it's impossible." The countess said in a nostalgic tone.

Hellen soon awoke from her brief moment of unconsciousness. She was now on the floor, covered in blood. The blood was converging in the same place, as if to form a large red lake. Hellen was a little bewildered, there was a ringing in her ears.

There were three small trees around her, and a wooden creature with a humanoid form was standing beside her in a protective manner. The humanoid figure, Jorge, was a little frightened, but still not allowing any magical beasts to approach Hellen.

Some distance away, San Meili was fighting several magical beasts at the same time. Tears of blood flowed from his eyes like rivers, and even from this distance and weakened as she was, Hellen could feel the pain and agony that San Meili was feeling at the moment. Hellen didn't know why he was like this, but she still felt her heart ache to see San Meili's current state.

San Meili used his rattling tail like a whip, and struck the head of a magical beast in front of him. San Meili roared to the heavens, and his snake body didn't stop for a moment. He wrapped his body around a magical beast, and without a glance at it, released a powerful Nature's Judgment to another magical beast.

San Meili's eyes were lost. He didn't see the present, but the future. He didn't know exactly what he saw, but the blurs he saw was still enough to feel his whole being, his whole existence, everything that was San Meili, seemed to be torn to pieces whenever he saw these blurs.

And when he saw Hellen fall off his back, he became desperate and lost control of himself. He created trees to protect Hellen, and Jorge went out to protect her, but something was still wrong.

San Meili ended his quick battle breathless and wounded, but his pain was not coming from his tired and wounded body. He wondered how he could heal this pain, this wound that seemed to tear his whole being apart.

He slowly walked over to Hellen. He smelled every part of her body, investigating every part of her, while Hellen had a face completely red with shame.

"I'm fine ok?! Stop doing that, it's embarrassing!" Hellen protested.

"You promise me you're okay? Why did you fall? Did something hit you? Were you hurt when you fell?" Somehow San Meili's always calm voice seemed anxious at this moment.

"It may not look like it to you with all this size, but I'm pretty strong ok?! Now let's get out of here." Hellen appreciated San Meili's sense of concern, but would not accept anyone doubting her strength.

Hellen soon climbed on San Meili's head with Jorge and Lu Bao Shi, which only San Meili could see. They were now on their way to a safe place, to wait for Amanda and escape from this chaotic place.
