I asked Ginny to step down while Kanade and I would face him, however Ginny was still recovering and she would not be able to kill the opponent we were about to face.
Neither Kanade nor I lunged forward to fight Thomas head-on, he pulled two knives into his hands in a defensive position.
Kanade first attacked with a slash of hers making a splash into the air, at the same time I sneaked beside her to deliver a follow-up attack.
Thumped.
Thomas rolled my slash to the side and prepared to send the knife in the other hand right in my eyes.
Kanade held it down with the edge of her sword before it completely injured me, when there was a gap I stabbed into the two swords in Thomas's body then followed by Kanade's kick that made him bounce back.
I put my hand and said.
"Inferno."
As the flames shot towards him around him in a blazing red blaze, Kanade used her IAI technique to slash through Thomas's flames and body in an instant until he fell down with the flames burning him.
The figure of Blossom descended from the sky with a satisfied face.
"Truly great, you guys didn't hesitate to kill your own friend."
"We've lost a lot of valuable comrades. Rather than letting Thomas deviate from his goal we'd rather kill him, that's what he'll want."
Whether it was Kanade or Ginny both had understood, this was a war of losing one's own life or someone else was something that could not be avoided.
Even so we are all in our power to try to live.
"You have destroyed the old machine I built, do you know why the rain of blood must occur every three days?"
"To turn people into vampires" Kanade quickly replies.
"Of course it's true but there's one more fact that will surprise you, once everyone is turned into a vampire then they can't live without being exposed to blood, they have to get it and three days is their time."
Neither I nor Kanade were surprised.
"Don't."
"With you destroying the machine, it is certain that all living beings, especially humans in this empire, have died."
Including the mother and child couple that I had saved that time. Not likely.
Our bodies are frozen, we intend to protect everyone here but we have done the opposite.
"Impossible, then this empire has been completely destroyed?" ask Kanade.
"Finally, well, though any choice would be the same. If you let them live they must supply human blood before the lake of blood you saw before will run out, eventually when humanity disappears they will also disappear."
This guy just aims to destroy everything.
"I used to live only as an imperial princess, I had to live under my father's orders, whether it was an arranged marriage or something... whenever I had someone I loved she would kill him and say I should marry the same status, since then I started to learn forbidden magic and little by little hated this world.... when I was found out I was sealed into a chest and I was finally able to be resurrected now. The empire since the beginning had destroyed the successor that previously only came from the queen consort, she disguised herself as me to make this country, after treating me like that they stole my identity and built this country with lies.Even Barnett, he's a descendant of my mother from her affair."
Neither I nor Kanade can say anything more, this empire from the beginning has been broken.
