Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

---- Chapter 3417 The Vampire Queen and Shiloh clashed in midair, locked in a direct collision of power. The cataclysmic powers collided, tearing through everything around them. The Blood Sanctum began to collapse piece by piece. Soon, the stone walls, the foundation, and even the entire dark mountain started to rise into the air before being vaporized. Nothing was left behind. The powerful fighters battling outside were all injured, and every one of them froze in shock. They retreated again and again, flying into the air with fear in their eyes.

On the ground, the remaining Holtrien warriors scrambled down 'the mountain, fleeing for their lives. "Shiloh, you can't save him. | want you to watch helplessly as he dies by my hand. Get a good taste of how | felt when Valerius betrayed me all those years ago," the Vampire Queen said with a savage laugh. With her maniacal laughter echoing around them, those blood vessels plunged into Andrew's neck. The tubes instantly turned red as his blood was violently drained from his body in mere seconds.

---- In that moment between life and death, white holy light erupted uncontrollably from within Andrew's body. Like a branding iron, the sacred light set the Vampire Queen's hand ablaze. However, the Vampire Queen's expression remained indifferent, and she did not budge an inch. She declared, "Forget this pathetic holy light! Even if the Pope of the Lomuia Grand Cathedral himself showed up, I'd make him kneel before me!" Her supremely arrogant words rang out from the Vampire Queen's mouth.

She was simultaneously locked in a death struggle with Shiloh while also draining Andrew's life force and strangling him. Her power clearly exceeded Shiloh's, and even the Church's holy light had absolutely no effect on her. In his final moments, Andrew suddenly became calm. Shiloh's desperate, anguished voice reached his ears. "Hold on! | can save you. Don't fall asleep!" A faint smile appeared at the corner of Andrew's mouth. But in his mind, a vision suddenly materialized out of nowhere.

It showed a man in black and a breathtakingly beautiful woman in ared dress walking together across an endless field under the ---- night sky. The woman's face radiated happiness as she nestled against the man. The man wore a doting expression as he held the red-dressed woman's delicate hand. Suddenly, the scene shifted. The man's hand had now pierced into the red-dressed woman's chest, gripping her heart. The red- dressed woman's face was covered in blood, her expression one of disbelief.

Though there was no sound, Andrew knew she had asked one word, "Why?" The handsome man in black was filled with pain and struggle. In the end, he hardened his heart and crushed the heart in his hand. At the same time, his own body was shattered in the explosion of energy. In that instant, Andrew understood who they were. The man was his ancestor, Valerius. The woman in the red dress was the Vampire Queen, Lilith. They had once loved each other. Or perhaps, Valerius, the great human powerhouse of Holtrien, had possessed extraordinary wisdom.

---- In order to kill the Vampire Queen, he had deliberately approached her while she was disguised as a human He had entered her heart. Through love, Valerius forced the Vampire Queen into a thousand-year slumber. It should have been a glorious achievement. Yet Andrew felt no joy at all. If he were in Valerius' place, could he have done the same? As death approached, his thoughts refused to slow down Shiloh's eyes, ears, nose, and mouth bled as she fought without fear of death. The two opposing forces began to press toward the Vampire Queen.

Bit by bit, Shiloh's hand broke through the invisible boundary and reached painfully toward Andrew's body.
