The Vampire Queen - How I Became The Worlds Last Boss: Chapter 25

Rhea

I watched from on as Tia tore apart my father and burned him until he was no more. Is it weird that I felt nothing at all? The horrible father who sold me off to a wife killer named Rodger Brennan in every single life. Luckily, in my last two, I was able to escape before he got his disgusting hands on me, but I still met a bad end nonetheless.

That was, of course, until Tia came into the picture—my savior, my life companion, and the one who truly showed me the light. To think that all this time and all those lives were just building me up for this moment. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for Tia, and someone who brought her true pain is standing right in front of me. I don’t truly understand why Tia wants to give her a chance to change, but I can only assume she has a plan.

She will only live once I can take out all of my frustration on her. Bringing that horrible woman to the brink of death multiple times should suffice. It’s beyond amazing how much I truly want to kill this girl. When I saw my father for the first time in a few weeks, he invoked almost no emotions within me. I just wanted him to disappear from my life and never be seen again.

But when it comes to this girl, Caroline, it’s much different. The girl who I care about the most and treasure more than my own life was harmed by her. Caroline only showed true remorse towards Tia once she figured out just how meaningless her life was in front of her. She’s truly disgusting! I will make her beg for her life over and over again.

“All you have to do is survive Rhea's onslaught; she wants to take out some of her frustration on you.” Coming out of my contemplation, I hear Tia suggest what I’ve been waiting for all this time. My body felt as comfortable as ever with Tia wrapping her arm around my body and pulling me close. “If you can prove your worth and survive it, you will live.” I will make her earn it, that’s for sure, as I feel my body start to heat up with Tia staring at me intently.

“I will make her pay for all she’s done to you, Tia!” My pupils were once again shining with stars. I could see it in the reflection of Tia’s big, beautiful ruby eyes. She’s told me that every time I show passion, my eyes seem to react in this way. Whether it's negative or positive, I always get compliments about my eyes from her, so I’m glad I was reborn this way.

“Your eyes are as beautiful as ever, Rhea. A truly stunning beauty who shines among the stars.” Tia once again causes me to blush profusely, as her words always have such a great impact on me. I’m also well aware that she likes to provoke me to be more intimate with her. But what Tia doesn’t understand is that I’m already holding myself back a great deal.

I just want to cuddle with her all day and night, taking in her scent. Awakening into a vampire has truly allowed me to understand how comforting a powerful scent can be. Tia’s natural body scent mixed in with her long training session is just the best. My mind goes completely blank at the extreme sensation coming in through my nostrils.

“Rhea, are you okay?” Coming back to my senses once again, I see Tia looking at me in concern. My mind was completely wandering when I had the real thing right in front of me.

“Yes, I’m all good. Sorry, my mind was somewhere else.” I give a weak smile as Tia raises an eyebrow. My body quickly drops to the ground on my knees, and I take Tia’s hand, kissing it. “Can my vampire queen please bestow upon me some daggers?” This was from a story I read a long time ago about a knight going into battle for his queen. He asks for her blessing in battle by kissing her hand and giving his undying loyalty to her.

Tia just looks at me with an amused expression and gives me a small smirk. “No problem, my knight; go into battle proudly and win the day.” I watch on as both of the daggers I requested become reality through Tia’s powerful magic, which is always an amazing show.

Taking both daggers from Tia, they both had red and black grips with a metallic short blade. I jump to my feet once again; my inner desire to kiss her has peaked. “Could this knight get a good luck kiss?” I’m sure my eyes were doing their job as I looked hopeful toward my queen. It’s so much fun being around Tia because she will always just go along with whatever kind of role I play.

“Hmm, isn’t the knight overstepping, wishing to kiss her queen intimately?” She gives me another cute smirk with her pink, wet, desirable lips. I can’t help myself but lick my lips as I stare at hers.

“That may be true, but no one in this world loves you more than this knight. It would be a great honor if I could place my lips upon yours, even if it costs me my life.” I watch on as Tia’s eyes widen at my declaration.

“That won’t be necessary! You’re never allowed to die in this lifetime or any other. For you will always be my knight today and forever.” Tia leans in as we have a passionate kiss, where we both lick and smooch to our hearts content. After completely going into our own little world as a lot of eyes were glaring at us, we came to our senses.

“Shall I get this over with Tia so we can go home and finish where we left off?” My eyes once again wandered, as my greed for her affection hadn’t subsided.

“Do your thing, Rhea; I’m looking forward to it later on.” She says this as she blows me a kiss as I start walking towards Caroline. “I highly recommend you don’t hurt Rhea.” Tia yells from behind as I make my way to the target.

The impatiently waiting Caroline had an annoyed look on her face. “What do you mean I can’t hurt her? How do I defend myself?”

“I don’t care what you do to defend yourself, but if you cause any kind of injury to Rhea, I will kill you on the spot.” Tia truly loves me from the bottom of her heart, and with those words, my fire grew even hotter as a reddish glow started to envelope my body.

“That’s completely unfair! What the hell is the look in this girl’s eyes?” Caroline was steadily taking steps back as I started to close the gap between us with my destruction fire on full display. I decided to just call it destruction fire because that’s what it does. It burns everything I want to nothing, while my holy fire heals everything within its flame.

If it wasn’t for my barrier magic, it would be hard to control the healing or destructive effect. Once activated, both surround my body and expand out, depending on how much power I’m using. To be able to control that power, I have to use my barriers to enclose it to gain more control. It’s also extremely effective for imbuing weapons.

When I would cover a weapon with destructive fire, it would start eating the target alive as soon as I cut into their skin. On the other hand, if I covered it with my holy fire, it would heal the wound after contact. So I wonder how Caroline will react when I inflict her whole body with tiny cuts of destruction fire. Then, afterwards, heal it all with multiple cuts of holy fire. It sounds like the perfect way to completely break her.

“You better be ready, or you will die.” My body launched forward as I gripped both draggers in my hands, one covered in a golden white and the other in crimson red.

Caroline

After having to watch that horrible display of affection, now I have a mad dog running in my direction, baring her teeth. What is up with those eyes? Why do they shine so brightly, as if she has multiple stars? On top of it all, I can’t even attack her to protect myself, or Celestia will just kill me. What in the hell am I even supposed to do?

I haven’t even trained in any type of defensive spell, so I’m just a sitting duck waiting to be slaughtered. That’s when I felt the first attack, and it happened in a flash. A burning sensation started to ignite in my right forearm. Looking down, I see that it’s been cut, and the wound is bubbling up with a weird red aura. More cuts on my arms, legs, stomach, and face kept littering throughout my body.

What the hell is this burning sensation? My wounds start to fester as my arm starts turning black. All over my body, I start to itch as I feel like my insides are beginning to melt. Am I seriously going to die like this? That’s when I looked up and saw a wicked smile on the girl named Rhea's face. She was clearly enjoying herself immensely in my current condition.

AHHHHHHH! The pain—what is going on inside my body? That’s when relief finally came over me, as she started to cut even more, but for some reason, my wounds were healing. So, that’s how it is. From what I can tell, the red dagger inflicts pain, and the white dagger somehow heals. It wasn’t much of a relief, though; after all, my pain started to fade and my wounded areas started to turn normal once again. But she brings out the red dagger and starts cutting after I have felt relief.

I need to do something to stop this! There was a water spell I was super effective with; I should use that now! Putting out my hands, I scream internally, “Waterfall.” Little did I know just how ineffective that would actually be, as water started to collect at my feet, rising fast. The idea was to use it as some kind of makeshift barrier so she couldn’t come in to attack, but for some reason the water isn’t listening to my will.

It’s almost as if I’m completely confined in a tiny square a little bigger than my body, as the water starts to gradually rise from the ground to cover my legs, continuing up to my waist. My control faltered at this unique phenomenon.

“Stupid girl, I have you completely surrounded by my barriers. You will only drown yourself if you keep spewing out water, unless you can breathe in it.” Rhea looks at me with eyes that really piss me off. How dare she use me as her plaything!

She just stood there and watched me try to get air with only a few inches at the top of this invisible structure. I push my head to the top of the water as hard as I can, with only my lips barely breaking out of the surface. Am I really going to die in a pool of my own water? How humiliating.

With that thought, everything around me broke as the water went rushing out all around. Of course, she wouldn’t let me have any relief. Once again, the cuts come from the red dagger. The excruciating pain that would envelop the wounded areas was mind-breaking, as my body couldn't handle the sensations.

The anguish I felt as the stabbing pain of this red-like fire kept digging its way into my body. This went on for what seemed like ever, with red and white daggers in quick sessions with each other. It’s relief, pain, relief, pain, relief, pain—that is my world now. At some point, I had fallen to my knees, unable to even put up a fight as the pain was too overwhelming.

Please, let this end. I can’t take it anymore. This pain eating away at my body is just too much; it’s far too much. Stop it, please! Someone help me; I don’t want this kind of pain anymore. I swear, if I live through this, I will never be a bad girl again. My body was feeling so heavy, as all my strength was being drained out of it.

Hours later...

"Well, I think Caroline has had enough; she’s literally foaming at the mouth. You sure know how to break someone, Rhea.” Who is this person talking to?

“Sorry, I went a little overboard and probably went a little too far.” Someone else is talking. Where am I? Better yet, who am I?

“Taking it a little far? You’re funny, Rhea; it’s been almost two hours since you’ve been cutting her nonstop. Overboard is an understatement, but I’m sure she will finally understand the error in her ways.” What is this atmosphere?

“Yes, I just couldn’t help it, with how she hurt you in the past. My actions haven’t made you scared of me, right?”

“Of course not, Rhea; I will always support you. I’m not saying you did anything bad; it’s just that you had so much pent-up aggression. I bet you feel amazing right now having gotten it all out of your system.”

“Yes Tia! I feel so much better!” Opening my eyes, I get a look at the two people talking among themselves. They both have four wings on their backs and look very far from being humans.

"Oh, look, Caroline has awakened from her slumber.” The white-haired girl said that as my eyes get used to the bright surroundings, I look up at both of them. For some reason, the one with the pink stars in her pupils gives me chills as I feel my body start to shake.

“It seems so; I wonder if she can actually rehabilitate herself or not.”

“Umm, who are you?” I ask with a tinge of fear, as both of them give off a very scary atmosphere.

“Hmm... did she seriously lose her memories, or is she just playing around with us?” The star-eyed one looked at me with contempt.

“I'm not sure, but with how much you broke her with your constant attacks, it could be possible. Losing her memory is pretty interesting, but not the desired result. I wonder what would happen if I put some of my creation magic into her body.” I’m getting a really bad feeling from the look in the eyes of the white-haired girl.

“Worth a try, Tia, to see what kind of effect your magic has on a human’s body.”

“First of all, Astarot, go kill off a good majority of that army while letting a few escape. I have no interest in dealing with them, and we can’t show any mercy. They could keep coming in the future if we just let them go without any repercussions.”

I watched on as the beautiful, white-haired, scary-looking girl leaned over my body with a bright light coming out of both of her hands. She placed them on my stomach as she erupted with some kind of weird power, and my insides were infiltrated by some kind of warm sensation.
