"Let's go!" I spoke to Iris who was following me, Kain has stayed outside to deal with the abominations that the knights have become, truly they are abominations they looked rather horrifying with those red tentacle things coming out of their bodies, if a normal human girl that I was once had seen those things...without a doubt I would have fainted on the spot but I am not that girl anymore.

"There are no guards mistress something doesn't feel right" Iris spoke in a hushed voice behind, we were walking in a straight path, but she is right it is strange that there is no one guarding the enemy stronghold, the men...I mean those abominations outside couldn't be the only soldiers.

While we continued walking down the path screams were heard straight ahead of us, many-many screams.

But the screams that we heard did not belong to adults, yeah all of those voices belonged to children, their voices were high pitched not as deep as an adults.

I quickened my pace but I didn't run, even after those blood-chilling children's screams, I didn't feel anything towards them.

After a few moments, the screams stoped, instead of screams a crazy laugh was heard.

"It seems the screams and now this obnoxious laugh is coming from inside here mistress" Iris and I stopped at a giant iron door covered with rather interesting pictures, but that didnt matter at the moment.

"Open it" I pointed at the door and gave Iris an order to open the iron doors.

"By your command!" Iris slightly bowed and moved towards the door, she lifted her white hand and pushed the iron door with such force that they shattered into tiny pieces.

"Well, thats one way to make an entrance" I muttered to myself as I stepped inside.

The first thing that caught my attention was the strong and I mean strong stench of blood, I looked around and saw bodies of children, and adults some were missing their heads, some legs, arms, some had their guts sticking out while their dead eyes stared into nothing.

"Who dares disturb my rest" An old and a little demonic voice was heard, I took my eyes of the lying corpses and looked in front of me.

There was a throne in the middle of this room, on the throne a man..no it is rather a thing was sitting there, it resembled the abominations outside but this one gave off a feeling of intelligence not just some mindless monster.

"I am guessing that thing is what's left of the lord huh?" I looked at the thing that was sitting on the throne, it was wearing an armor like the knights, there was some red tentacle sticking out, I could not see his face because of his helmet, the armor he wore was covered in blood there were even remains of people on his armor and helmet.

"Who are you!" the creature grew impatient because of my long silence, well I should introduce myself otherwise, I would be seen as a rude girl.

"My name is Lisha..oh and I am here to kill you" I picked up the end's of my dress and bowed slightly...just like those noble girls in tv dramas and movies...it felt kinda cool.

"Kill me...ha ha hahaha" he started laughing maniacally at my words.

"You dare" Iris looked at the creature with cold eyes, she was ready to pounce on him at any moment.

"But before that I would like to ask, are you the lord Cliff the lord of this town?" before anything it's better to know.

"Cliff?? Ah, yesss I was known Cliff in the past....but that Cliff was weak...Ill...broken...this Cliff is overflowing with power!!" he yelled loudly.

"Hoh...is that so, you do know what you did to your only son and your own wife right?" I asked the crazed monster that was once the lord.

"Wife? Son? hahaha , of course, I know I killed them with my own hands....this power is magnificent it cured my illness...it made me stronger...what more could I ask!" he smiled at me with that crazed face...disgusting.

Hmm seems there is no saving for him but what about-about the black robbed man, what happened to him?

"What happened to the man that gave you this magnificent power?" I am truly curious  I don't see him anywhere, did he leave already?

The creature looked at me without a word, but after a few moments it had a grin on its face, it stood up from its throne and moved its hand to its belly.

"He is inside here now...just like the rest...heh hah hahaha" I see, so after creating this thing out of the lord, it backfired at him this creature devoured him, just like these children and men here.

It continued talking as it slowly walked towards Iris and me "that foolish human tried to control me...haha how stupid was he.. with that little power he could never control me!" 

"At first, I devoured him..then the soldiers inside the castle...but it wasn't enough my hunger...it wasn't enough to satisfy my hunger..but I can't leave this place, that cursed magician bound me to this castle, but I still found a way to get my meal every day.I created flesh servants, they bring me meals everyday hehe" so he calls those abominations flesh servants.

But who was the magician that bound this creature to this place, and where is he now?

"About the ma.." I wanted to ask the creature about the magician but it seems he doesn't want to talk anymore, he pounced at Iris and me at an amazing speed.

"Time to be devoured!!" he yelled.

"Mistress!" Iris wanted to jump in front of him to block him, but that was not necessary I also wanted to test out my abilities in this world.

"Blood shield," I spoke calmly, all the blood in the room started gathering in front of me and formed a shield.

When the creature collided with the shield, it was pushed back and it slammed into the wall.

"What....blood magic!?" the creature seems to know my vampire unique magic.

"You...you aren't a human!?" why is he angry.

"Well yeah I am a queen of all the undead creatures so...yeah I guess I am not a human," I spoke calmly, the creature opened its eyes wide open and its mouth.

"Lies...the undead haven't had a queen for two hundred years!" he is well informed.

"Yeah, they haven't, but now they do." I raised my hand towards the creature "blood spear." the blood that was once forming the shield took the shape of a spear and flew towards the creature at an amazing speed.

The creature jumped to the side but it didn't leave uninjured, its right hand was torn to shreds by the spear.

"Grwawr! To injure me...I will tear you apart slowly then consume you!" he yelled in rage.

"Come." I don't know why but I am calm, very calm I don't feel fear at all, I might be even enjoying all of this.

"Die!" now that's interesting the arm that was destroyed my spear has grown back.

It pounced once again at me but this time, it extended its hands towards me, a red like energy surged from them, "Inferno!" it yelled.

"Blood shield!" I quickly realized what spell it was, "inferno spell" one of the strongest demonic spells.

A blood shield enveloped Iris and me, this time, the shield was made like a ball that encircled us both.

Dark flames erupted inside the room, everything was engulfed in the dark flames.

"Hahaha what's wrong...a little hot for you?" the creature laughed maniacally.

The flames started to disappear slowly, I think it's time to end this little charade.

"What...how you are still alive!? My inferno should have fried you to a crisp how are you alive!?" he looked rather shocked when he saw Iris and me walk out of the blood shield.

"A spell of that level can't even scratch my mistress you lower life form" Well I was wondering when Iris was going to start insulting him.

"But...that inferno a spell that destroys everything...could you really b..."

"Your time is up." I raised my hand up "Sphere of death." I muttered slowly.

On top of my hand, a small black sphere formed "Die." I sent the sphere flying towards the creature.

"Wa...wait you don't know who you are dealing with wait !?" he yelled but it was all useless now.

"Just die already," I spoke coldly.

"N...." The sphere reached him and entered inside him, he soon started shaking violently, blood started flowing from all over his body, soon everything stopped and the sphere got out and returned to me and disappeared like it was never there.

"Well, that concludes that." 

"Yes mistress you were magnificent" Iris started praising me, but more importantly this creature spoke about not knowing who I was dealing with, that means there is someone even higher in position behind all of this, but that's for another day..and I don't really need to involve myself any further.

"My queen." Behind us a familiar voice was heard, I turned around and looked at Kain who was a little bloody but no visible wounds on him, he was bowing slightly.

"Your fight ?" I asked.

"Completly annihilated the enemy." he spoke with a proud voice.

"But I must inform you my queen...a large group of paladin knight's have entered this town a few moments ago," Kain spoke.

Paladins...paladins!? Aren't they the order of knight's that serve the church of light? If they are here that means they know what was happening to this town, and it is known that they hate all the demonic and undead beings equally.

"Well, this has become rather troublesome." I knew it I shouldn't have involved myself"sigh".
