Reincarnated without a job, the vampire lady must show her true abilities.

Chapter 52: The Water Saint and the Northern King

"Stone Wall!"

With a shout, a rock wall appeared between the Northern King and the Queen, blocking the deadly dagger.

The person who created this stone wall was, of course, Luo Qixi, who was the first to notice something was wrong.

She pursed her lips and looked at the assassin. Although she didn't know why he wanted to assassinate the queen and princess, since she was here, she was determined not to let him succeed.

Amidst the screams of the nobles scattering, Loki raised her hand and aimed it at the Northern King. Although she wasn't holding a staff, Loki could still shorten the incantation.

"Ice Spear Snowstorm!" With her shout, ice spears rapidly condensed behind her, and high-level water magic immediately roared out, heading straight for the Northern King who was holding a longsword.

"Oh."

Faced with Loki's attack, King Soston of the North leaped high into the air, flicking his sword in mid-air. The specially made sword tip was flung out like a whip, shattering the ice spears in mid-air.

Luo Qixi's attack was nothing compared to the Northern King; it only managed to delay him for a few seconds.

But those few seconds should be enough.

"Quickly protect the First Queen and the Princess!" The guards in the banquet hall snapped out of their daze and rushed forward, brandishing their spears and swords. Some ran towards the Queen behind the earthen wall, while others charged towards the Northern King.

"..." The Northern King, who was in the air, moved nimbly, stepped on the head of a guard, and then leaped into the air. With a flick of his sleeve, he threw out a series of throwing knives.

"Pfft pfft pfft!"

These ordinary guards were no match for him at all; a large number of them were taken down in the blink of an eye.

"Buzz!"

At that moment, Loki seized the opportunity during his attack and conjured an ice spear with her right hand, aiming straight for the Northern King's head.

Being in the air right now, it must be very difficult for you to dodge, right?

"Bang!"

But the next second, the Northern King's longsword cleaved the ice spear in two, and the frozen ice crystals scattered like raindrops. With a crisp sound, the Northern King's body twisted in the air in a way that no normal person could do, and then precisely stepped on the head of yet another guard.

Damn it...

Loki had fought against humans before... but this was the first time she had encountered such an agile Northern God Swordsman. He moved through the air like a nimble dancer, dodging the pursuit of the guards with a series of twists and turns.

But at least... he shouldn't be able to threaten the Queen and Princess now. The royal family members have all been escorted out of the banquet hall, leaving only Luo Qixi and a group of guards in the hall.

To Luo Qixi's surprise, the Northern King did not seem to be trying to escape. Even though he could escape simply by breaking the glass, he continued to dodge the guards' attacks while counterattacking.

It's as if... he still wants to kill someone...

"Buzz!"

In that moment of confusion, the tip of the Northern King's sword suddenly lashed out, heading straight for Luo Qixi's head. Fortunately, because of the distance, Luo Qixi instinctively stepped back and dodged the attack.

Although her arm was grazed by the sword tip and a sharp pain shot through her, Loki was able to see the structure of the blade.

It's like some kind of chain-like thing is connected to the sword tip inside, allowing the sword tip to be swung out like a whip.

This unique structure allows the sword to have an attack range far exceeding that of ordinary weapons, even spears.

When his first attack failed, the Northern King quickly adjusted his whip sword in mid-air, entangled it with the ceiling chandelier, and then leaped into the air.

"Surround him!" But by this time, a large number of guards had already rushed into the banquet hall. In any case, this was the royal palace of the Kingdom of Asura. Even if the water goddess Leda, the swordsmanship instructor, was not here, there were still a large number of low-level swordsmen present.

However, once these swordsmen, who are at most intermediate level, become numerous, they are not something that ordinary sword kings can easily deal with.

Even if the Northern King was agile, he could not possibly escape the encirclement of these guards.

Seeing that more and more guards were surrounding the Northern King, Luo Qixi breathed a slight sigh of relief. She didn't have time to heal herself, but instead raised her hand to the constantly dodging Northern King, thinking about how to control him.

But at that moment, the Northern King slightly tucked his hand into his robes, and then in the next second, he flung out countless bullets.

The bullets landed on the ground with a series of explosions, raising a cloud of smoke throughout the banquet hall.

He's trying to escape?!

Luo Qixi immediately understood what was going on and searched for the Northern King's whereabouts in the smoke, but it was clear that... it was impossible to find him just like that.

In the chaotic smoke, the figures of the guards appeared even more disordered and dense.

She pursed her lips, raised her hand and flicked it, deciding to use wind magic to clear away all the smoke.

"Strong winds!"

With her shout, a gust of wind burst from her palm, instantly dispersing the dust in front of her.

But just as she breathed a sigh of relief, the tip of the sword suddenly shot out through the air.

Got it!

How did he see it through the smoke...?

Is that my chanting?

As the sword blade hurtled toward her, Luo Qixi's mind continued to work.

Should I use an earthen wall? No, it's too late... What about wind magic? Can it be blown away...? No, that's too late either... I can only dodge with my body! But... but that sword tip is too fast.

In the moments before death, the human brain is always thinking rapidly, but thinking alone is useless; the body also needs to respond in coordination with the nervous system.

But all of this was too difficult for Luo Qixi at this moment... The sword tip that the Northern King swung out struck like lightning, and Luo Qixi could only watch helplessly as it got closer and closer.

"Bang!"

The sword tip made a clanging sound, but it didn't strike flesh; instead, it stopped in mid-air, just centimeters in front of Luo Qixi's brow.

"Um?"

Not only Luo Qixi, but also the Northern King in the air was stunned. He subconsciously tried to pull back his longsword, but found that he could not move the weapon in his hand even a little bit.

"Using a Northern King as an assassin?" A cold voice slowly rang out. A hooded girl walked slowly into the banquet hall through the main entrance. Many guards subconsciously made way for her when they saw her, and she slowly walked to Luo Qixi's side.

"Teacher...?!" Luo Qixi looked at the figure in front of her in surprise. She didn't expect that her teacher would arrive so timely... and so perfectly.

It just so happened that he was almost killed...

Wait a minute... Although it's a bit strange to think like this at this moment, Luo Qixi really suspects that the teacher may have been secretly watching for a long time.

"You did very well; you lasted longer than I expected."

The teacher's somewhat aloof reply made Luo Qixi purse her lips. So the teacher had been watching from the side the whole time?

"You...you monster..." The Northern King slowly dropped the longsword in his hand, gritted his teeth, and looked at the girl in front of him, saying, "You will eventually destroy this world."

"Me?" Cinderella frowned slightly as she looked at the man in front of her. We've only just met, and you're already saying such offensive things?

I thought only the Sword God style people were this stupid, but now it seems the Northern God style people aren't much worse...

Shaking her head, Cinderella had no intention of wasting words with the assassin in front of her. With a flick of her right hand, ice spears shot out from behind her.

In the intervals between the ice spears, the blood flowing from Luo Qixi's arm transformed into fine red threads that wrapped around and attacked the Northern King.

"Haaah!" Faced with the barrage of attacks, the Northern King drew his dagger and desperately tried to block, but while he could still stop the ice spear, the red threads clung to his dagger and his hands like a spider web.

Then Catherine raised an eyebrow slightly and turned her right hand slightly.

"puff!"

The silk threads tightened and snapped off the Northern King's hands with a chilling sound.

Amidst the screams, Cinderella looked at Loki, who seemed somewhat frightened.

Then he carefully dabbed a little bit of blood from her arm with his finger.

"Tsk." After taking a bite, Cinderella frowned slightly.

"This blood is poisonous."
