"A mindless puppet such as you doesn't need to know that," the mysterious girl said, cleaning the remainder of the blood on her fingers as well as some saliva on Zeruel's face. "The more important is that you do a small favor for me when you craw back to your feather bed," the girl placed a scroll case on Zeruel's hands, flashing a sinister smile as she did so, "take this message back with you. The person that it's bound for will come to you, don't worry. After all, she's spying us even now, isn't she?"
"Do this and maybe you'll get to know the name of the person who watched you squirm around on your pathetic last moments on this battle," the girl said, poking Zeruel's bleached face as Victoire's Demon Roses began to creep and crawl over him. The vicious plants fed on the weakened Angel, leaving the vampire-like girl alone, for a reason or another.
Victoire Bordeaux, the Bloody Countess
Arcadia's Outer Rim ⚜ Engaging Bonesword
A number of things happened all of a sudden, following Henry's arrival beside Victoire. Before she could even begin to put everything in order, the greedy demon was on the ground, hit by an attack of a Machina sniper, while Bonesword held them at the point of his blade.
"Tsc! The situation has degenerated far too much. I guess that haggling won't work this time, right?" Victoire said to the skeletal swordsman, still bent on her knees, besides Henry downed body.
"Even if that's the case, you can have these, just as I promised," the vampire threw the fruits she had in her hand, causing them to grow rapidly as they fed on Abigail's fading essence, intent on strangling and crushing every bone on Bonesword's... skeleton, while melting him with their acidic poison.
Using the plants as a distraction, Victoire teleported Henry and herself away from there, to the woods of the same island where Omega and Tatiana fought their duel.
Soon enough, both the Machina and the Angel soldiers would notice that this was one of the islands where Victoire's roses began to spread their roots and corrupting poison. Likewise Cherry would find herself sitting on a true death trap as the Demon Roses reached the island where she was and quickly targeted the lone Machina, like Victoire's other targets. At long last, Victoire's talent for late game dominance was beginning to show itself. It was just a matter of time before the rest or Arcadia noticed the cloud of crimson death creeping on them.
Probably far too late to do anything about it.
"I guess I might as well try to secure the main trump, while I can," Victoire said to herself, before opening a Blood Portal at the reach of Ira's hand, making sure that only the Demon's leader could pass through it, while the vampire got out of it to try and help the escape.
"How did such an easy win turn into this chaos?" she cursed, splashing her own blood in the air to summon numerous shadow bat familiars to provide cover and distraction. A much larger exemplar of her newest acquisition, the hellhounds, attempted to tackle Hildr and free Ira.
"We do not have much time. If we fail here there's no hope of winning this fight. I might as well give all that I can," Victoire said, pouncing Syphax to try and finish him off while replacing the blood she lost up to now.
