Chapter 474 Bald
Queen of Beast is the title of the ancient king that gives Angus and Jayna the ancient power of [Allegiance]. After returning to the Heart Kingdom, Angus searches for any information about the six ancient kings.
Although the ancient king only revealed their title, Angus knew there should be some recorded information about them somewhere. Unfortunately, Angus finds nothing and concludes that too much time has passed since those ancient kings’ death.
Forget about the record, he couldn’t find a similar king with those titles. From what he gathered, the title of king and queen is different from ordinary given noble titles. In ancient times, only people recognized by the world would get the title of king.
Moreover, the last crowned true king title was more than a thousand years ago. Unfortunately, Angus doesn’t know what title and the name of the king. He only finds that piece of information from an ancient travel log of a certain wanderer.
“Mira, did you know something about the Queen of Beast?” asked Jayna curiously.
“Mmm.. Drinking Buddy.” replied Mira while nodding.
“Drinking buddy?!” exclaimed Angus and Jayna.
‘Wait… If that Queen is her drinking buddy, does it mean Mira has already lived since that time? I know seventh grade is almost immortal. But, is it possible to live that long?!’ thought Angus.
Although seventh graders could be said to be immortal, none of them can live past a few thousand years. Most of them even died after a thousand years passed.
As for the exact reason, nobody knows since all of them always meet some kind of unfortunate incident from getting a sudden attack of a strong monster overlord or another seventh grade.
Angus knows that a special being like a phoenix could live longer for eternity, but he never thought others could live like Phoenix. (A.N: Angus only has limited information about the seventh grade.)
While Angus and Jayna are surprised at the possibility of being that could live forever like Phoenix and Mira, Anna approaches her friend with a curious look.
“Did Mira also Queen?” asked Anna.
Mira didn’t reply immediately and seemed to think something before nodding her head.
“Really?!! Woooaa… Anna is friends with the Queen. Yey.. Yey..” said Anna excitedly while snuggling on Mira.
“Anna. Queen.” said the taciturn girl.
“Ehh.. Did you mean Anna is also a Queen?” asked Anna, surprised at her friend’s words.
This revelation also surprises Angus and Jayna. However, remembering Anna’s weird ability and power seems to convey that she is a different kind of person worthy of the title of Queen.
“Mmmm.” replied Mira while nodding.
“Yey.. Yey.. Anna is Queen. We are going to become Queen together forever.” said Anna as she didn’t leave from embracing her friend.
Suddenly, a person appeared beside them and made both Angus and Jayna ready their weapon. Seeing it is the familiar silver-haired old man, they immediately relax their guard.
“Ahh.. My apologies for surprising you. I am back, Master.” said Darren while bowing his head.
Seeing her loyal subordinate, “Darren, weak.” replied Mira.
Then, a burst of green-colored energy appeared from Darren. At the same time, Darren feels like become much stronger than before.
At the same time, all the beasts/monsters in Twilbo Forest rooted on their spot, shivering in fear as they could feel a terrifying aura from the unknown green energy.
However, it is a different case for Angus and Jayna. Despite being near Darren, Angus and Jayna only feel like bursts of wind and Darren’s aura becomes stronger.
After controlling his aura, “Ahh… Thank you, Master. It’s been a while since I received Master’s grace.” said Darren humbly while bowing his head again.
“Mmm.” replied the taciturn girl while nodding.
“Cool!! Anna also wants to do that. Mira, teach me!! Teach me!!” said Anna.
“Err.. Lady Anna, that’s…” said Darren as he didn’t know how to reply to his master friend.
“Darren, silence,” said Mira shortly.
Knowing his master’s intention, “I apologize for my blunder, Master. Lady Anna, Master will teach you.” said Darren in an apologetic tone.
“Yeayy… Mira is Anna’s best friend. We are best friends forever.” said Anna while snuggling on Mira’s arm.
Seeing the scene, they feel like they are seeing two close siblings. However, they also know the terrifying power under their harmless appearance. Then, a flash of red light appeared near them.
“Angus, what’s wrong? Why did I feel a burst of Master Darren’s aura for a moment?” asked Aunt Extalia.
At first, she immediately runs towards their place as soon as she feels Darren’s burst of aura near them. She thought Darren was fighting another seventh grade and involved the others.
However, the aura only happens for a moment before completely disappearing, which confuses the Duchess. Later, she finds nothing happening besides Anna getting closer to Mira.
“Ahhh… Don’t worry about it, Duchess Amberblaze. Master, just help me recover.” said Darren truthfully without any real explanation.
After using complex projection techniques and summoning Vlad with four strong humanoid beings, Darren almost exhausted his life force and needed years to recover. He also needs to keep drinking high-quality blood to sustain his body.
However, with the help of Mira’s unknown green energy, he manages to recover and become stronger than before. Vampires may be famous for becoming undying, but not many know they are initially using their life force in return for their ability and power.
Since they didn’t have an infinite life force, they needed to consume others to sustain themself. As blood is one of the most accessible life force manifestations, the Vampire race started to drink and gather blood from others to recover themself.
This is also the majority reason lower rank Vampires need to consume blood to stabilize themself. Without blood, their body is slowly deteriorating.
Unlike high-rank vampires such as Pureblood and Ancestor, the lower-rank vampire can’t contain or use life force in the blood properly. For the half-blood and subordinate rank, they are similar to half-breed races with deficiency. In other words, they are imperfect living beings.
After explaining to their aunt about the situation, the Duchess looked at Mira in a surprised tone. Since her relationship with Leon is back, the King decides to reveal many things about seventh grade.
She knows it will take a lot of effort to recover the weakened seventh-grade combatant. Since their body and mana have already reached the highest quality, most of the resources, potions, and others are useless to them.
At most, they will recover slightly but instantly recovering and becoming stronger is impossible. Darren also noticed this matter and could guess what the Duchess thought.
“I hope everyone can keep this secret.” reminded Darren.
“Ahh.. S-Sure. We will not say anything about it. Right, brats?” replied the Duchess in a hurry while glaring at Angus and her niece.
“Yup. Not a single word coming from my mouth.” replied Angus as he decided to play along.
“That’s good. Master, may not care if someone finds out about her ability, but she doesn’t like too much trouble following it. In the worst case, she may throw a tantrum and destroy anything indiscriminately.” explained Darren.
Angus and the others immediately nodded their heads and agreed with Darren. Just Imagining the silver-haired girl throwing a force with power similar to an atomic bomb left and right is not a scene they want to see.
Even in his past life, he couldn’t just use that kind of force casually as Mira did to the rocky testing hill. He knows how hard and sturdy the rocky hill is. Yet, the silver-haired girl can destroy it without breaking a sweat. Making her angry is the worst-case scenario for everyone.
Hearing Darren’s words, “Not true.” rebuked Mira while pouting.
“Master, did you forget how many kingdoms were destroyed on a whim before you decided to create the Eternal Kingdom?” asked Darren.
Darren knows how childish his master could be despite already living for a long time. Sometimes, he couldn’t even understand his master way of thinking since everything she did seem spontaneous without thinking of the consequences.
Fortunately, Mira is the epitome of absolute power. Otherwise, she will have been killed a long time ago. As Darren reminds her about the past, Mira makes a bigger pout while huffing. She is entirely different from her usual doll-like expression.
Seeing her friend being bullied, “Yeah… That’s true. Mira is cool and Anna’s friend. Bad silver corpse!! Bully! Meanie! Baldy!!” said Anna as she supported Mira while bad-mouthing Darren.
Darren didn’t take the little troublemaker’s word seriously, but his master suddenly got an idea.
“Darren, bald.” said Mira causally while pointing at the vampire’s silver hair.
“Ehh.. Master, that’s…” exclaimed Darren in surprise.
“Bald. Now.” said Mira as she went back to her doll-like expression.
“B-But, Master….” as Darren is still reluctant to go bald.
His silver hair is one of his characteristics that connect with Mira. He is prideful about having the same hair color as Mira. Unfortunately, before Darren could react and defend his treasured silver hair, his hair suddenly falls, leaving a shining bald head.
“Pfft… Hahahaha… Baldy!! Baldy!!” laughed Anna loudly.
At the same time, Angus and Jayna are holding their laughter as the situation suddenly changes in a weird direction. As for the Duchess, she is not affected by this since she is a trained militaristic soldier.
Although she finds the bald head unmatched with Darren’s appearance, she still can’t laugh. Moreover, she didn’t have time to laugh as she recounted Mira’s speed in her head.
