---- 268, THE KING OF THE SPECTERS NARRATOR In Ss''s free hand, a lethal ck dagger materialized, immediately aiming for Lucrecia''s throat.


    Both attacked at the same time, taking advantage of the element of surprise and their close proximity.


    Only, it wouldn''t be that easy.


    The dagger and the devouring mes were suddenly swallowed by a dark mist.


    Lucrecia''s body vanished into nothingness, floating with ck magic before reappearing a few meters away.


    For a second, the three of them locked eyes.


    "Who the hell are you?!" Lucrecia roared, scrutinizing Sigrid intently.


    She hadn''t seen thising.


    It couldn''t be...


    Was that the power of a Selenia inside Electra? That doesn''t matter.


    What matters is that you''re going to die." Sigrid wasn''t up for any more talking she summoned a sharp sword engulfed in bright blue mes and lunged at Lucrecia, who responded by conjuring her own fire- element sword They began to fight in the spacious room, tearing apart the ---- furniture, exchanging every strike, every block, every assault with hatred.


    Whoever this Selenia was, she fought fiercely.


    No one had ever faced Lucrecia like this in hand-to-handbat.


    Thebined attacks of kicks and punches, the swift and aggressive responses, reminded her of the fighting style of the Lycans.


    Ss stood by, watching every direction, ready to intercept any sneaky attack against Sigrid.


    He knew Lucrecia was a snake.


    She never won fairlyshe always had hidden traps.


    Soon, Lucrecia''s body began umting magical wounds that wouldnt heal easily.


    The mes started consuming the room, devouring everything in their pathexcept for the bed.


    Lucrecia decided it was time to stop ying.


    Sheunched a vicious attack at Sigrid, forcing her to step back.


    In mere seconds, Ss watched as Lucrecia shed a deep cut across her own neck, hissing tangled, cursed enchantments.


    Her pupils turned into vertical slits, and white scales began to spread across her skin.


    In the blink of an eye, the room filled with a white mist, cold as the ---- peaks of the mountains.


    He had seen her perform this spell once before, and he knew what wasing next.


    watch out, Sigrid!" He lunged forward, grabbing her arm and throwing her to the ground.


    From within the mist, the enormous head of a serpent struck like a spring-loaded trapso fast it was impossible to track.


    Its massive, venomous fangs sank into Sss arm, dragging him into the fog, transporting him elsewhere.


    "SILAS!" Sigrid screamed, pushing herself up from where she had fallen and diving into the dense white mist that blinded her vision.


    She summoned powerful gusts of wind to clear the room, but within those four walls, there was no one else.


    Only her and the ve, sobbing on the bed.


    seek Outside, the royal guard and vampires were already mobilizing.


    Alessandre painted runes to summon Renata, while the walls trembled.


    Dark and malevolent forces fought to break free, and ves ran away screaming in terror.


    The battle had begun, and how would this night end? only the Goddess knew.
