"She really became stronger... and faster," spoke Selena as she suddenly felt a piercing pain so she caught her neck and blood started spraying through her fingers.
"Tsk* This will take a while to heal," Selena clicked her tongue in annoyance while holding her cutthroat as she looked at Christopher who was levitating in the air while using his darkness powers to stabilize the moon of his territory while forming a fake night.
'He is pretty smart...' she thought to herself as a sudden movement caught her attention.
"Christopher behind you! " she shouted quickly.
Hearing Selena's voice, Christopher's senses exploded around, sending invisible waves of bat's echolocation around.
Sensing a danger approaching him, he turned his face and quickly dodged as an unknown white projectile almost hit him.
"Tsk* Quick bastard! " Ariel mumbled from the ground as her hands started being charged with beams of blinding light.
"You broke my wing handsome! " she shouted as she tried to move with her left wing but it didn't budge.
"My bad, I should break the other one too right." Christopher casually replayed with a wide grin and a mad, dangerous glow in his eyes as he spined his entire body from the sky aiming towards the ground, and kicked the air behind him.
With this boost, he flew like a missile toward Ariel, and in milliseconds, he already stood in front of her as strains of dark energy painted in a reddish color were escaping from his body, forming a black trail on the sky and a dark aura around him.
Seeing this, Ariel's brain froze for a second and when she finally understood what happened, Christopher was already standing behind her while holding her other white wing, 'unconsciously' tearing it away.
"Aaaaaahhhhhhh! " she cried from the pain as Christopher threw the wing away.
Touching his chin like an artist, he watched the back of the priestes with narrowed eyes.
"Uhhh, this looks weird. You remind me more of a one-wing parrot than a priestess. We should change that~." He spoke while looking at Ariel's back still with narrowed eyes.
Deciding with his artistic sense, he grabbed the other wing which was already broken from his previous attack while placing his feet on Ariel's back.
A sound of flash being torn apart was heard by everyone, accompanied by Ariel's horrifying cries of pain.
"AAAAHHHHH!!! HELP ME! " Ariel was looking at Lucy who was lying on the ground with her wound almost healed.
'Not yet...' Lucy sent a mind message to Ariel who heard that but was still begging for her help.
'I'M BECOMING A FALLEN ANGEL LUCY! DO SOMETHING! ' Ariel roared at her.
'I can't! I need your sacrifice to win! ' Lucy replied.
Suddenly, a powerful blast of white power exploded from Ariel's back, sending Christopher a few steps back, away from her.
"Better~ You now look like a true fallen angel HAHAHAHAHA~" Christopher's voice with his crazy laugh reached Ariel's ears as the wing in his hands and the other one a few meters away from him turned into grey ash.
"Y-You... You made me a stray priestess! I can't return to my QUEEN NOW!!! " Ariel shouted.
"That's even better, don't you think? She is a bitch anyway~" Christopher smiled widely.
"You are going to pay for this! " Ariel went mad as blinding beams of slight yellow light started shooting all around from her hands, trying to hit Christopher at all costs who was dodging everything with ease, thanks to his small training of speed with Ortasax in that Sangruil's mirror.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA~ This is so much fun! You lack a good speed but still, it's fun HAHAHAHAHA~" he laughed and appeared in front of Ariel, punching her into her stomach and kicking her face with his knee which sent her towards the closest bunch of trees that on that impact broke into pieces easily.
"What the... How? " Ariel wanted to get up, a little dizzy, only to see Christopher already holding her by her legs with a wide smile full of sharp teeth.
"Let's dance fallen angel~" he said as his wide grin swapped with a beautiful smile which caught Ariel off guard as she blushed and got caught in that smile for a few seconds without understanding what was happening to her body.
'He is so beautiful~ Wait, what am I thinking! ' she thought but when she woke up it was too late because her body was already spinning in the air.
"WAIT! Let me down! Let me GO! " she was shouting, trying to kick Christopher away from her.
"But why, we have so much fun don't you think? " Christopher replied with a wide smile, speeding up even more.
"I said LEAVE ME ALONE!!! " Ariel roared as she felt she would throw up soon.
"As you wish~," he said and let go of her legs which sent her flying toward the sky while spinning like a boomerang.
...
"I'm going to throw up! " spoke the Queen while watching the screen which showed only a spinning image of the fake night sky.
...
Meanwhile, Frederic was fighting the Light Dragon Warriors on the ground, and half of his people were already dead.
"Christopher! " Frederic shouted as Christopher immediately landed near him and with that single impact, he sent twenty golden Warriors flying away from Frederic.
"We are not going to make it. They are immortal!... Look! " Frederic pointed at the Warriors Christopher sent away who had their bodies broken in enormous and hideous ways, but like it was a miracle, all of them started getting up and their bodies began to be healed at a quick pace.
"We don't stand a chance here..." Frederic growled, angry that he was not going to fulfill his promise, and kicked another Warrior away from him who was running at them with a golden spear.
His armor cracked and his body flew a few meters behind, hitting his healing companions.
"Wait a minute. You said the Queen is taking the power of your kingdom for herself right? "
"Yes and? " Frederic replayed with a raised eyebrow as Christopher punched another running Warrior and sent him flying.
"Which means, she is taking the power from you too... Your Immortality."
"Well yes, you're right. Because of the missing moonlight, we can't fully let go of our human nature and change into our immortal werewolf forms," Frederic explained.
"What would happen if I give you my power instead," he said and pointed a palm of his hand at another warrior who ran at them.
Shooting a beam of black energy with purple tones on the edges of the beam at Golden Warrior, the warrior tried to block it but was evaporated from existence, never getting up again while turning into dust, disappearing forever.
"Of course, the basic concept of light and dark! Why I didn't think about it before? "
"You are the embodiment of Darkness and evil. Werewolves are on the dark side, even when we are more connected with nature than Vampires, we are still beings of the night. And only Light can kill the Dark..." Frederic spoke and Christopher continued "... While only Dark can kill the Light."
"And because the Queen is taking our true power, the Knights are still getting up like annoying bugs! " Frederic spoke and then looked at Christopher with little worry for his people.
"What would happen? "
"To be honest... I don't know, but you'll never know if you don't try it right. Those who don't risk, don't win," Christopher smiled and extended his hand to Frederic.
"True, but I'll go first. I don't want to risk the lives of my people anymore," Frederic smiled and took Christopher's hand, making a handshake gesture.
Immediately, a purple aura enveloped Frederic as a dark energy was trying to invade his Werewolf body.
"Don't fight it, brother, let it flow through you," spoke Christopher unconsciously and gently as if it was a routine already and doubled the amount of his power.
"AAaaaaahhhhhhh!!! " Frederic cried as his entire nature started changing in seconds, breaking his bones and turning the core of his soul.
Christopher released his hand and took an instinctive step back as Frederic looked up and released a powerful howl that sent waves of purple energy toward the moon, changing its color from blood-red to purple.
"What the..." Christopher tried to say something as he looked at his hands but Selena was first.
"Don't worry, you are not weak. It's just an instinctive fear of a Vampire who is standing against a strong opponent, mainly a Werewolf who is a true Alpha," she spoke with a smile and placed her left hand on Christopher's shoulder.
Suddenly, Christopher fell on his knees and touched the place of his heart.
'What in the world? What is this pain? ' he thought and with the pain, an extreme thirst came as well.
...
[... At the same time, Armandia, the tree of Witches ...]
"Yes, YES THIS IS IT!!! This is the feeling of true POWER! " spoke the Witch Queen as her body was enveloped in the purple aura, together with Raven's.
"What would happen now? " Raven asked.
"We will take all the Darkness' power for ourselves. Then, we will destroy Redwilnet and Luna Argentum and make the Vampires and Werewolves pay for their sins. And then, we will take Earth! " replied the Witch Queen as Raven nodded and left somewhere.
"All I need now is your cooperation my son~" spoke the Witch Queen as she turned behind and looked at someone who appeared behind her.
...
"Christopher, are you alright? " asked Selena and kneeled next to him but before Christopher could say what he saw, he turned and formed a black barrier.
Sadly, the barrier was due to his weakened state weaker as well so a sudden beam of slight yellow light penetrated the barrier rather easily and hit Selena's body which sent her flying.
She did a few somersaults in the air before she landed on the ground where her body rolled a few times and stayed motionless.
"One annoying Bitch down! Next one, please! " Spoke Lucy who landed on the ground with her wounds fully healed while holding a beaten Ariel in her hands.
"YOU?! " Christopher started levitating as his skin suddenly started cracking like porcelain and a pair of dragon wings made from bones only, came out of his back while his face turned fully black with only his eyes and sharp teeth visible as if the darkness took control over him.
Suddenly, a Golden Warrior jumped into the air, aiming the tip of the spear at Christopher's back.
As his senses exploded around the battlefield, Christopher turned in space and grabbed the Warrior by his neck.
The Warrior tried to get away from Christopher's grasp he even used his light spear and pierced Christopher's heart with it but nothing helped him as the spear literally melted into a black substance and fell on the ground like a hot, sticky asphalt.
"How dare you to attack me, undead worm," Christopher said with a devilish voice as he opened his mouth wide.
Suddenly, all of his teeth grew and sharpened into sharp fangs as he bit the Warrior into his neck and drained him dry.
Then, throwing the mummyfied body like a piece of trash, Christopher turned back to face Lucy and Ariel as his mouth was covered in black blood, his face covered in pulsating veins, mainly coming from his eyes towards his jaw and his eyes black as darkness.
When this happened, a murderous, dark aura filled the entire battlefield and everyone stopped fighting, looking at Christopher with horrified eyes except for Frederic whose transformation ended.
He looked at him rather like he was a worthy opponent and his Master and Lord, an effect due to Christopher's power running through his veins.
Then, his gaze fell on the hurt Selena who was lying on the ground motionless, so he started walking and then wielded her from the ground, holding her like a princess and protecting her with his body.
'A demon?! ' was Lucy's only thought as this demon was quickly approaching her.
"Who do you think you are, worm! " spoke Christopher in rage as his voice came like a mix of a few deep and creepy voices.
"N-n-nobody..." Lucy mumbled unconsciously when she saw the monster in front of her which she provoked.
"That's right~... and that's what you'll become for the rest of your days~" Christopher spoke and launched at her in a speed of sound, moving like a blur.
Grabbing her by her neck, he snapped it and bit it like a Vampiric monster with force as Lucy's life started leaving her body and her eyes turned lifeless and dead.
Without even thinking what he was doing, he drained Lucy's body dry and threw her away like trash.
"Next! " He licked his lips which were now gold from Lucy's blood and with one step to the left, he appeared above Ariel who was unconscious.
Grabbing her by her head and repeating the process, which was snapping her neck and draining her blood, he was still thirsty.
'I'm still thirsty! ' he thought as he turned his face and his gaze fell on Frederic holding Selena.
With another step, he appeared in front of them.
"Master," Frederic spoke as he kneeled and lifted Selena towards Christopher like some sacrifice while everyone was looking at him in surprise and fear.
"She is still alive... but because she is not in her top state, her body is pretty much weak," Frederic spoke.
"Do what you must, my Lord~" he continued with a knowing smile.
Christopher nodded as if Frederic was his most trusted subordinate and took Selena into his arms where he bit her neck but not for drinking her blood.
Suddenly, Selena opened her eyes as a beam of black power erupted from her chest and flew towards the sky.
"Ahhhnn~" Selena moaned as her body began to transform.
Everyone who saw it felt an instinctive fear that another powerful dark being was born today.
Even the Light Queen felt it.
...
'Well fuck, this boy is even stronger than I previously thought... I think it's time to flee,' she thought while standing near the window of her throne hall from where she could see a trail of dark, murderous power flying to the sky, forming a purple vortex above the clouds in that area of the battlefield.
...
The process lasted for a few seconds until the beam of power stopped and Selena placed her hand on Christopher's left cheek.
Her dress turned black with purple details while the fire irises in her eyes turned purple.
"You saved me~" she spoke playfully and caressed Christopher's face.
"Anytime, you would do it too," he said with a smile as he fell on his knees again but still holding Selena in his arms.
"Christopher? " she spoke as her disciple was returning to his mad state again.
His body started cracking more as his hands started changing shape, becoming thinner like they belonged to a skinny monster, fully grey with with pulsating veins and long pointy claws.
"Here! " she quickly said as a purple portal in the proportions of a human fist appeared near her hands and she pulled out a black beating dragon's heart.
Without wasting time, she smashed it against Christopher's chest as it turned into black mist which invaded Christopher's body pretty quickly.
Then, she pulled out a beautiful purple scale and placed it on Christopher's forehead which too invaded his head.
The next were the draconic eyes which also turned into a black mist and mixed with Christopher's.
The last thing, she took the vial with the Darkness Dragon's blood and spoke.
"Open your mouth, Christopher."
Christopher did it without asking as she spilled the blood into his mouth, then destroyed her vial in purple flames.
"What a beautiful color," she said little surprised and happy as a new type of power was flowing through her veins, but quickly shook her head and hugged Christopher whose eyes turned permanently black, his face turned human again but his skin was pale and black veins covered his entire face and body permanently too while strands of dark mist were coming to his body.
As his eyes closed, he saw the Darkness dragon in his cell and when the image started approaching him, the dragon opened his violet eyes.
['Finally, we are being united host~'] Christopher heard in his head as he opened his eyes, looked up, and disappeared from the ground into the clouds with excellent speed, still holding Selena like a princess.
Looking around, his gaze gets upgraded as he can now clearly see the entire Aragos and the five kingdoms.
On his left was his kingdom, Sangruil.
Near him was the ruined castle and the territory Frederic rules, The kingdom of the Full Moon.
On the right, in the distance, he can see Withpoke with a beautiful lake that had golden tones.
'The city of witches huh,' he thought to himself as he extended his gaze further, and after his gaze flew past the Withpoke, he saw the Credia empire.
As his gaze zoomed on the castle, it was like he flew through the walls and the image he saw was beautiful.
On a black throne with gold decorations, he could see a woman with black hair, bronze-colored skin, and a tooned sinful body, having her eyes closed.
'Who are you? ' he thought.
The woman opened her brown eyes and looked directly at him.
'Nice to meet you, Christopher~ I'm @:/-ß*$, ' she spoke but her name was in a language that Christopher didn't fully understand.
After a few seconds, Christopher understood...
'I see, you're the Egyptian Goddess, huh.' He thought with surprise and the woman opened her eyes wide.
'How did you...'
'We will see each other soon Goddess, then I'll tell you.'
She smiled and nodded, closing her eyes again.
'Let's see,' Christopher extended his gaze even further and narrowed his eyes dangerously.
'So this is the Royal Capital huh...' he spoke to himself and looked closely at the city which had a big white castle with golden roofs in the middle while the entire city was surrounded by big walls which were protecting it from waves of near blue ocean located behind the castle.
"Ahm, I don't want to interrupt you my dear but, may I know what you see? " Selena's sudden voice startled Christopher who forgot he had a companion all this time with him.
"I'm sorry, I was looking at who I need to deal with before I destroy the entire Royal Capital," he casually spoke with a gentle smile.
"Oh, I see," she spoke and went silent as Christopher understood what she was thinking.
"Hah, fine, I will help you." he suddenly spoke with a smile full of sharp teeth as his fully black eyes fell on the beauty in his arms, answering the question she was asking him these past few days.
"Yay~" Selena clapped her hands and smiled back at him.
"Under one condition! "
"Which is? " Selena looked deeply into the black eyes of her new disciple and felt she might drown in them.
Even when they looked like they belonged to the worst monster from her nightmares, which they belong, she didn't feel fear but something else.
Something she is not ready for, at least now.
"I want you to do something for me~" Christopher smiled widely while thinking about the vision of the Witch Queen he saw, which made Selena gulp but when Christopher whispered to her what he needed and explained what he saw, she smiled and nodded.
"Consider it done~" she spoke with a cute grin.
"Well then, hold on tightly or you might fall." Christopher joked as he took a sudden step forward in the air and let the gravitation do its job, sending them both back toward the ground.
When Christopher's foot gently touched the ground, the entire area turned fully black with cracks in the ground from which was coming a purple light.
Everyone who stood in the darkness had their bodies suddenly invaded by it. Everyone, the Werewolves, the Golden Warriors, even those who were dead began to live again and started turning as well.
The Werewolves had their fur turned black while the Knights' armor turned black too with a purple dragon symbol on their chests.
"Now, my Warriors," Christopher spoke as everyone turned their faces at their new Lord and kneeled.
Frederic smiled widely and kneeled too, as he looked at his hand filled with new power.
'I'm back on my top, even higher than I was~ All thanks to you, my new Lord~' he thought, thankful.
"Let's go home~" Christopher spoke and a big purple portal with the rune Christopher had on his chest started being formed on the ground.
"What about us Master~" a sudden voice was heard from behind and when Christopher with Selena turned, they saw Ariel and Lucy standing still with stoic pale faces with a few black weins on their necks coming from Christopher's bitemark while their eyes turned fully black and their blond hair turned black too but few strands of their hair where white.
Their armor changed too and the gold color turned black with purple details while the armor on their forearms and shoulders had now pointy purple spikes.
Ariel's wings returned but were now black as raven's and Lucy's turned black too from their previous white color.
"Hmm~ I remember now that I need some punching bags... Come too," joked Christopher at which Selena just smiled as the two nodded and took a step towards everyone disappearing together in purple light, together with the Sangruil's moon.
The only thing leaving there was a button in the shape of a sun lying on the ground, where Ariel previously stood, that suddenly started cracking, and then, the button exploded with blinding light and a murderous, angry scream, destroying the fake night Christopher formed in this territory in seconds.
