The Two Faced Emperor

A raindrop fell, reflecting the crimson lightning on the bloody blade. The Black Unit charged toward her. The first man swung his sword, aiming to inflict a deep wound on her chest, but she struck his neck and pushed him away.

Someone fired a volley of arrows toward Lady Marianne. She hugged two girls, jumped back, and threw a set of knives, killing three from the Black Unit and the archer.

"What a bunch of useless pawns. They can't even kill a girl." The noble Nylon was annoyed, narrowing his eyes in anger.

The two girls were frightened by those dressed in black… Lady Marianne patted their heads with her left hand and spoke in a calm tone:

"Everything is fine, they are a bunch of fools."

Two men charged toward Marianne at once. She transformed her bloody sword into a dagger and blocked their strikes simultaneously. Then her other hand glowed with blood shaped like a pointed orb, which she launched at them, killing them instantly.

The number of the Black Unit was decreasing, and they couldn't find an opportunity against Lady Marianne… She suffered minor but deep wounds from the sudden attack, but due to her blood control, she could heal the wounds.

Only three members of the Black Unit remained: the archer standing near Nylon, and two men fighting Lady Marianne.

Nylon was extremely angry, veins bulging from his head because of the sight before him.

"You filthy one, you couldn't kill her? You are utterly useless pawns." He placed his palm on his face and spoke harshly.

He withdrew his hand and looked toward the archer. Nylon approached him and grabbed him by the collar… The archer was in shock, not knowing what was happening around him.

"S-sir, what's going on?" the guard asked with surprise on his face.

"Nothing. I just don't like your presence." Nylon smiled broadly as if he were insane.

He wrapped a rope around the guard's neck and strangled him until his head was severed by the sharp blades. Meanwhile, Lady Marianne finished dealing with the last two men and sensed someone behind her.

Marianne quickly looked back and found Nylon standing there, throwing the rope at her… Marianne dodged the attack but noticed the rope moving in every direction until she grabbed the sword, lifted it upward, and struck it hard against a tree.

Lulia put all ten fingers on her mouth, shocked and scared at the same time.

"Lady Marianne, is she okay?" Lulia asked with great sadness. Her sister Lily was scared but hid the fear inside.

"Don't be afraid, Lulia. The leader can kill this bastard." Lily spoke firmly.

Nylon pointed at them while laughing, speaking mockingly:

"Stay here until I finish———"

He didn't finish his sentence before Marianne launched herself powerfully at him, but he caught her fist with the rope and cut his hand because of the sharp blades.

However, with her other hand, she threw a set of knives and wounded his cheek… He suffered a deep cut on his cheek, gritted his teeth in anger, and threw her hard toward a tree.

She pulled out her bloody sword and fixed it on a tree to balance herself… Nylon jumped powerfully toward her and tried to strike her head, but she grabbed his leg and slammed it against a tree so hard that he spat blood.

"What kind of weird jump is that? Are you a monkey?" Marianne said sarcastically with a smile.

Nylon bit his lips hard and wrapped the rope tightly around her neck. The rope pressed strongly; if it weren't for the pendant, her neck would have torn due to the blades.

Nylon punched her face, grabbed her shirt collar, and slammed her on the ground, causing her to spit blood from her mouth.

Lulia was scared for Lady Marianne. She looked around and found one of the enemy's swords… She glanced twice at the sword and once at Nylon again.

She took the sword and ran toward Nylon. Lily didn't understand the situation until she shouted loudly:

"Luliiaaa!"

Because of Lily's scream, Nylon noticed her and saw Lulia coming at him holding a sword in her hand… Nylon smiled wickedly, raised his sword, and aimed a strike at Lulia.

But Lady Marianne deeply stabbed Nylon's stomach. Shocked, he couldn't move his body. Marianne looked at Lulia and told her calmly:

"I had a plan to lure him slowly, but thank you for your help."

Lulia froze from the shock. Her sister appeared behind her and pulled her away from the battle. Nylon looked at her and spoke harshly:

"You filthy one, even after that deep wound, you are still standing."

Lady Marianne appeared before him, placed her five fingers on his face, and smashed him to the ground, blood splattering on her hand.

Nylon waved his rope, trying to slash her face, but she caught the rope with her sword and cut it, then pulled him with the rope.

"You filthy one." Nylon gritted his teeth angrily. He struck her stomach and pushed her away… But Lady Marianne threw a set of knives that pierced his body in sensitive spots, one hitting his eye.

He held his eye in pain. Lady Marianne stood before him, cut off his hand, grabbed him by the neck, and lifted him up. She slowly opened her mouth and revealed her sharp fangs. The length of her fangs changed and grew longer.

Nylon didn't know what was happening until he saw those fangs and terrifying eyes. He spoke nervously, blood dripping from his body:

"Are you… a vampire?"

"Hm, don't you see for yourself?"

Marianne sank her fangs deeply into his neck, drained all the blood from his body, and cut off his head. Her mouth was filled with blood. She touched her lips with her fingers and said coldly:

"The taste of human… not bad."

At that moment, Lulia ran to her and hugged her quietly while crying… Marianne was surprised but hugged her back. She looked at Lily, who was standing far away. Lady Marianne smiled at her and said:

"Come here."

Lily walked slowly, and Marianne embraced them… The two girls were crying intensely, especially Lulia, who said sadly and sobbed from pain:

"I was afraid I would lose you. After getting a new family, I thought I would lose it."

Lady Marianne patted her head and said warmly:

"Don't be afraid, dear Lulia, you won't lose anything again."
