[-In the Golden Moon Mansion-]

Right after seeing the real Chia laying on the infirmary bed.

​​

Lady Sonja realized that the staff member behind her is a fake.

And she was the next one to fall.

Swiftly, Dalton made a quick attack on Lady Sonja.

Unexpectedly, the old woman caught his sharp strike.

Her strength was unbelievably strong.

"What?!?!" Dalton was surprised at the strength of Lady Sonja.

Feeling a strong grip on his arm.

"I may be old. But I am strong enough to take on any of you. I am a warrior who survived the first Great War in the history of supernatural world. Going against the herald of darkness. Why do you think I was employed as the chief of staff here in the mansion?" Lady Sonja elaborated to the vampire assassin.

She continued, "I fought stronger creatures than you. Standing side by side with the former queen of werewolves. I am her former right hand! So, you picked the wrong target!"

Immediately Lady Sonja attempted to contact their Alpha King through the mind-link.

But her attempts were a failure.

"Do you think I will go alone? And let you try ruin my plans …" Dalton revealed to Lady Sonja.

As the old lady tries to slowly step backward and be vigilant at the same time from any incoming attacks.

A lizard left from the pocket of Dalton.

Transforming back to its normal self.

Revealing her true self.

"A … dark witch!" Lady Sonja uttered.

"The Grand White Witch took our leader and ruined my chance to become powerful. So, here I am teaming up with someone who can give me what was taken away from me. The chance to become powerful." The dark witch shared to Lady Sonja.

"Do you think vampires will hold up to their own deals? Among all supernatural creatures … you chose to side with vampires? Haven't you learned any lesson from your history … young woman?" Lady Sonja words were meant to mock and insult the dark witch from choosing to wrong side.

"And what's wrong with choosing the winning side? The legion of vampires are the most powerful and strongest amongst all supernatural creatures. Even all of you combined … you will never stand close to the real power and strength of our king." Dalton was so proud of their vampire king.

"Then tell me … why was he not chosen as the next supreme ruler? Why all this time, he hid himself from the walls of his castle and not invaded any major kingdoms? All he did so far, is wreak havoc and attack smaller territories." Lady Sonja's words antagonized Dalton.

Because Dalton was amongst the blind followers of the vampire king.

Treating King Lionel as their only savior and rightful ruler.

"How dare you imply that King Lionel is weak?"

Dalton repeatedly uttered, "How can you dare insult our king?"

Lady Sonja noticed the change in the air.

She provoked the vampire assassin.

"Too bad … you won't be there to witness his own greatness! Because … there will be no tomorrow for you!" Dalton's anger was completely triggered.

In his attack, Dalton was swift and quick with his attempts.

Striking each vital points of Lady Sonja's body.

But the old woman was swift as his attack.

Repelling each attack with her strong defensive techniques.

Unknown to them, Lady Sonja was an expert in close combat and specializes on defensive martial arts.

For her, best defense is a best offense.

Mastering the art of defense and combining it with counter attacks.

Dalton was overwhelmed with Lady Sonja's lethal counter attacks.

After receiving the counter attack strikes from Lady Sonja, he spat blood from the powerful strikes of Lady Sonja.

"Gaaah!!" Dalton fell to his knees after being repelled by Lady Sonja.

"I do not know how you do it but it seems you have blocked my ability to communicate with the Alpha King. I guess the dark witch is responsible for it." Lady Sonja remarked.

The dark witch was waiting for the moment to cast her dark hex on Lady Sonja.

Because of the intense exchange of strikes between Lady Sonja and Dalton, she wasn't able to cast it against the old woman.

Now, Lady Sonja was wide open for the attempt of the dark witch to issue a hexing spell on her.

Upon getting hexed by the dark witch.

The chief of staff of the mansion felt her strength tremendously weakened.

And her sight was blurred.

"Dalton … now!" the dark witch prompted to the vampire assassin.

Instantly, Dalton used the opportunity to attack Lady Sonja.

…

Biting her!

Leaving a lethal bite on her shoulder.

"Agggh!!!" Lady Sonja was paralyzed.

Feeling each ounce of pain from the vampire bite.

It was known for all werewolves that a vampire bite is lethal to any werewolves.

Rendering any werewolf a death sentence.

Due to his hurt pride, Dalton was extremely antagonized by Lady Sonja.

For him, the bite wasn't enough so he used the weapon he was supposed to use in stabbing Selene with.

"I recognize your strength and prowess. So here … take my parting gift … for you!"

Stabbing the old lady on her lower abdomen.

"Sshhhh …. I know it hurts but you have to be quiet … no one should know about my presence." Dalton declared to Lady Sonja.

There was no voice coming out from Lady Sonja.

Her voice was muted by the dark witch through another hexing spell that may not only mute her but also reduces her vision.

Instead of worrying for her own self, the safety of Selene and the threat lurking within the mansion were the things she could think of.

'I must tell them!'

'This is bad!'

'Selene is in danger!'

'They must be stopped!'

'I must at least wound him.'

If vampire bite is lethal to any werewolves.

A werewolf bite was as lethal to any vampires.

"Arrghh! You old bitch!" Dalton winced in pain as Lady Sonja bit him as well.

…

Stepping away from Lady Sonja.

There was no denying it, Dalton was also greatly wounded by Lady Sonja.

'At least, I can weaken the threat somehow.'

Lady Sonja fell to her knees and thought of her times spent in the mansion.

Taking care of everyone.

-Coughing blood-

'I hope you live … my dearest Luna! And my …'

Blacking out from the pain of her wounds.

-Thud!-

'My Alpha King!'
