The Vampire Queen - How I Became The Worlds Last Boss: Chapter 14

Celestia

‘Big sister… Big sister… We have an issue! Please respond!’ A gruff voice awakens me from my deep sleep.

Who in the world is calling, big sister? I say to myself as my eyes slowly open. I feel some pressure coming from my left arm. I glance over and see Rhea taking full liberty with it as a pillow. My nightshirt feels damp from the little amount of drool coming off Rhea’s cute sleeping face. She must be having a good dream. I reach out and caress her cheek.

‘Big sister, please respond.’ Once again, that deep voice is calling me a big sister.

“Onyx, do you really have to keep calling me that? Age-wise, you’re far older and way bigger. I don’t understand.” I say with a sigh, not really knowing how I feel about being called a big sister by an enormous ape.

‘I can only call you big sister. You’re the most powerful being I’ve ever seen, and you can be very scary at the same time. I’ve never had a sister, but I imagine this is how it would feel. Someone once told me a long time ago that the scariest person they ever knew was their big sister. So, you’re my big sister.’ Onyx said it firmly.

The first thing that came to mind was, aren’t Hieko and Mila sisters to him? Do the Terrors see themselves as siblings created by the same being? From the way he’s acting, I guess not. Also, who was the person who gave him this information? Maybe it was another hero of the past who could have possibly come from my world?

It’s been about three days since we have been here at Cradle Mountain. That’s not the actual name of this place, but something I’ve given it for now. There was a disturbance between Rollo and Onyx the other day. I got a little heated because they were being way too loud and destructive. So I showed them a little force and why I’m in charge. Ever since then, Onyx has wanted to call me Big Sister. Rollo, on the other hand, just looks down when I come near him. Maybe he feels embarrassed?

Onyx is for sure a free spirit who likes to joke around and piss off the others. Rollo has a hard-ass mentality and can’t handle any jokes thrown his way. So it descended into a fight. Now I understand what Hieko was talking about when she had to keep them in line. Onyx is pretty much a tank, extremely strong and beefy. Rollo can’t really do anything to Onyx, while at the same time he can’t catch Rollo. So their cat-and-mouse game begins while they destroy everything around them.

“Well… Whatever Onyx, just explain to me, what’s going on?”

‘I’m sorry, master; please just let me explain the situation.’ Rollo comes into the conversation with an apologetic tone.

“Speak your mind, Rollo.” At the same time, Rhea starts making some cute noises and rolls over into me, wrapping her arms around my body tightly. Then, burying her face right into my modest chest, she is obviously awake and pretending to stay asleep, which is my first instinct. It's not like I’m going to encourage her to stop, though. Every day, she keeps becoming bolder.

Rhea has pretty much been attached to my hip ever since we got here. She never lets me out of her sight for any amount of time. Maybe she still doesn’t believe this is real? Afraid, she might still be dreaming and wake up in her family’s home. Then, once again, be sent to that bastard’s house to be married. I will kill that man sometime in the future for what he did to my Rhea in those other timelines.

‘There are intruders in our territory. What should we do about them?’

One thing I told all five of the spirit beasts was to never kill anyone who hasn’t provoked you first. If they ever run into any humans, contact me first before taking action. So we can find out why they’re here. I doubt they would actually try to talk to a giant beast. One thing I refuse to do is take any humans into our territory. I remember a certain slime making this mistake. Nothing good will come from trusting humans until we’re ready to defend ourselves.

“Capture them and kill off any hostiles. I will be there shortly; I’m curious why they’re here.” I asked, with anticipation, what kind of people would actually try to invade this territory. They would have to be crazy or know nothing about what’s happening here. I wonder if it’s someone from the Trothia Kingdom.

'Yes, master, it will be done.’ With that, the verbal link between us is disconnected, and my new task of waking up Rhea starts.

After about ten minutes of coaxing her by using my lips, she finally got herself out of bed. I couldn’t ask for a better gift to start my morning than enjoying my time with Rhea. Something about her just makes me feel so good. It’s almost as if I’m on a narcotic, without the downside of side effects.

We now have really nice dresses to wear from my creation magic. The school uniforms we wore on the day of our escape were burned. Who wants to remember that place? After my encounter with the goddess, my first task I gave myself was to create something with my new magic. What I really needed right now were pretty clothes to wear. With my amazing looks, I owe it to myself to have clothes to match!

I worked very hard with Hieko and Mila’s guidance to design some perfect outfits. The hardest thing with creation magic was getting the right amount. If I didn’t use it enough, it would disintegrate after a certain amount of time. On the other hand, if I use too much, it will become distorted. Who better to teach you how to use magic than someone who has lived for thousands of years?

Mine is a one-piece white dress with some red ornaments along the bottom that drops down to right above the knees. Over that is a red long-sleeve jacket that opens in the middle with leather straps. Black ornaments along the open edges down the middle expand out as they go down. For my weapon, I created a scythe. The reason why? Because it would look badass! I made it as tall as my body with a massive blade.

I just thought of the hardest steel I could possibly think of, and it came out much better than expected. Eventually, I will need to have one professionally made because I don’t really know how effective or durable my creation will be. I kept the same theme as my dress, with red and black.

Rhea got a black and white short skirt dress. Has a pink ornament over both shoulders and black buttons down the middle. The top half is black, and the bottom is white. She got a tinge of pink on the ends of both sleeves to round out the design, as well as some black leggings that look very sexy on her. At the moment, she has no preference for a weapon and will let me know later if she wants one.

That wasn’t my only practice with creation magic. I wanted to create someplace for Rhea and me to live. My first idea was to create my house from my past life and set it up right next to the lake. Simple designs were possible with enough magic power, but anything I completely don’t understand just won’t work. I created the foundation and the frame of the house. Also, the plumbing works!

My father was a plumber in my past life, and I worked there for years. But everything outside of plumbing was impossible to create. I was able to design some decent furniture, such as a bed, a couch, and some chairs. I wouldn’t say any of it is high quality because I only know the very basics. In the future, I plan to find some way to use magic as electricity.

When it comes to my destruction magic, I’ve done very light training so far. After my interaction with the goddess, control over it became second nature. I can control it as if it’s an extension of my body, like an arm or leg. Just having a powerful mental image is enough to create the most devastating spells. With all my knowledge of light novels and anime, it’s not hard to visualize powerful spells.

Anyway, we’re currently riding on top of Hieko as we head to the location of the disturbance. I wonder what they want and if some trouble is coming our way.

It took about thirty minutes at high speed to arrive at the location.

As we reached the destination, all I saw were lifeless corpses all over the ground. There were about twenty men, all in adventure gear. I’m only making assumptions about being an adventurer because I have no idea if an adventure guild really exists. They look very similar to what I’ve seen in stories from my past life.

Surprisingly, the kills seem to be very clean and not too much of a mess. I only see very little traces of blood on the ground, but at the same time, I see smashed body parts along with burn marks. It must have been Rollo’s lightning mixed with Onyx’s overwhelming strength. They have been alive for a long time. I’m sure they're very efficient killers.

The next thing that caught my eye was Onyx; he was currently holding a female in his hand and sniffing her. But she wasn’t placed gently in his meaty palm. She was dangling about thirty feet into the air within his outstretched hand. Her body was upside down within his grasp, being swung side-to-side from her legs. I sigh to myself; there is no point in trying to give them a good impression now.

"Hieko, can you do me a favor?" I turn to my right, placing an out-stretched hand on Hieko’s fluffy head. She was currently the size of a big horse, like when we escaped from the Trothia Kingdom.

'Anything, master’ Hieko replies with no hesitation.

“Can you burn all these bodies and leave no trace? I don’t want to look at them, and there is no point in leaving any traces of our involvement." I command.

‘No problem, master!’ The next thing I know, a spark appears over all twenty bodies that turned into a small explosion, incinerating all the evidence of anything that happened here.’

“Well done, Hieko." In my last life, or even this one before my vampire awakening, the idea of giving such a command would seem so outlandish. But now I was given the power to rule over all these powerful beasts, so I might as well make good use of them. I also feel nothing for these men. Is it because I don’t know any of them or that I’m no longer human? At the very least, I do feel sorry for that girl, who is being played with by Onyx. So I guess I haven’t lost all emotion towards humans?

“Hey you… Are you in charge of this beast?” The girl currently dangling in the air screams as she points in my direction.

With her loud outburst, I heard Rollo and Hieko start to growl as both of their powers of lightning and fire started to erupt. Taking a look behind me, even Rhea was showing signs of wanting to cut this girl's head off, with her pink eyes glowing furiously.

‘How dare you speak to our queen that way, you disgusting human!’ Rollo let out a roar as the statement echoed in everyone’s head.

“Ha? A queen, you say? That’s laughable; who would allow a beast to run a kingdom?" This time, the rage was coming from Onyx, who threw her into the sky as high as he possibly could. All five of us just watched with a look of amusement as she turned into a rocket headed towards space.

As I watch her soar high into the sky, I start to feel conflicted. Do I allow her to impact the ground or save her and get as much information as we can? Well, it would be pointless to do anything unnecessary when we need intelligence.

“I would love to allow that girl to meet her fate with the ground, but we need to use her as a source of information. We lack knowledge of anything on the outside. Someone go save her before she dies.” With that, Onyx grabs Hieko and launches her into the air, following the girl’s trajectory. A massive fire trail follows Hieko as she explodes the bottom of her feet towards the destination at high speed.

Catching up to the girl, Hieko grabs her in a tail, now full size, as she comes plummeting to the ground. While she’s descending, you can see red flashes coming off her feet. She’s using the small bursts to slow her fall.

The only thing louder than Hieko’s bursts were the girls loud, ear-piercing screams. Of course, Onyx was also chuckling loudly, but this time it wasn’t in my head. He had many grunts, squeals, and pants as he enjoyed the show rolling on the ground.

I just sighed to myself, but at the same time, I had a small smile on my face at his actions. It’s really hard not to appreciate someone like him. He’s all about enjoying life and having fun. Being annoying is also one of his attributes, but at least he isn’t boring.

BOOOOM

A powerful shockwave spreads all around as Hieko slams into the ground, still clutching the screaming girl within her tail. Hieko adjusts her size as she drops the girl at my feet, landing face first into the dirt. It’s pretty obvious they refuse to allow anyone to talk down to me without any kind of direct repercussion.

I gave her a good look up and down as she turned her bloodied, snot-nosed face towards me. Her blue hair was disheveled. She had the same disgusting amethyst eyes as Caroline. She also gave off an almost identical feel, as if she wanted to kill me. But there’s no way Caroline would actually come out here, right?

“I highly recommend you keep your manners, or I won’t show you any mercy.” I ignite my power in both hands with all its destructive glory. High winds and a very repressive force overwhelm all within range. The girl was slammed into the ground like a pancake, and her arms and legs opened like a spread-eagle. “Remember this: I am Celestia Voltaire, The Vampire Queen. I highly suggest you don’t talk down to me, or you could end up as one of their dinners.” I say it with an icy, cold tone.

Yes, I decided to call myself the vampire queen. It wasn’t something I suggested, but all the terrors thought I should give myself a title. This was the best I could come up with. I really don’t mind it all that much, and deep down, it feels kind of cool. Keeping my full name was something I decided on as well, because I quite like it. I will just kill off every descendant of Voltaire in the future, claiming it as my own!
