Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

"We can even kill the Lord using this! We all know he is out there! And the Orion Heart kingdom is hiding him somewhere. Most likely, the incarnation has failed, so he is weak and can't do anything. Once we kill them all, we will get rid of the Lord too!" Luis announced loudly.

"What about that old hag Nyxia, though? Her powers are also very tricky, or so I have heard."

"She is currently not in the Orion Heart kingdom. That's why, we must attack them today! This device can only be used on one person, so it's either Nyxia or Virgil."

"That's a nice plan you have got there," a female voice uttered from the dark.

"Obviously. I am the oldest vampire here, and I have seen many—" Luis' face turned pale as he gulped down anxiously and asked, "Wait… who are you?"

"Arara~ Weren't you talking about me just now?"

The vampires used magic to brighten the room so they could see who it was— even though most of them had already recognized her from the voice.

It was none other than Nyxia.

"Eek! It's Nyxia! What do we do now?!" someone yelled.

"Nyxia…" Luis gritted his teeth and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Why can't I be here? This place doesn't belong to you; it doesn't belong to anyone but the Lord," Nyxia responded nonchalantly even though she was surrounded by dozens of enemies.

"..."

"Moreover, you all should have chosen a different place to plan such a hideous act. Were you seriously planning to kill the Lord in the Lord's chamber?" she scoffed out loud. "Foolish insects."

"Shut up, you hag!" Luis yelled at the top of his lungs.

"You also planned to kill my son and my great-granddaughters, not to mention my darling too. It seems you don't care about your life. You are all going to be annihilated."

"I don't think so." Luis threw the magic device at Nyxia and trapped her in it.

Nyxia's magic and powers were sucked by the device as it changed its color. Then, shackles came out of it and chained Nyxia in a way that she couldn't even move her finger, let alone blink.

The device had stopped all the functions in Nyxia's body, so she couldn't cast or even regenerate her powers. Her current condition was weaker than a human on death's door.

"Do not think I have forgotten the humiliation I suffered because of you that day!" Luis shouted. "I was going to use it on Virgil, but oh well, getting rid of you first makes more sense."

"Yeah, Yeah!" the others seconded Luis.

"And what did you call us? Foolish insects? You are the one who is foolish! You came here in between your enemies who want to kill you! If you had kept your mouth shut, then maybe some of us here wouldn't have even known that you were here!

Yet, you went ahead and made your presence known. Most knowledgeable vampire, my ass! You are just an old hag who has somehow managed to survive all this time with the help of your forbidden magic!

I just told you how powerful this device was, and you got yourself trapped in it. You walked into the death trap on your own, you old hag!"

"What do we do with her now?" someone asked.

"Of course, we kill her," the others suggested.

"Wait a minute…"Luis glared at the other vampires and said, "Who asked you to say anything? I am the one who trapped her, so obviously, I will pass my judgment on her!"

"..."

Luis walked forward and stood in front of Nyxia. He looked down at her and said, "You know, Vlad the twelfth and I were good friends. He always did as I asked him to. He was an idiot who took my advice and trusted me blindly— and that's why I liked him.

I was going to kill him one day and become the king of the Orion Heart kingdom too. I would have been unstable in not only the vampire world but the others too. I would have been the monarch of the two biggest continents of this world.

I had already planned what and how I was going to expand my reach. First, I was going to attack the human world and kill every one of them. They are the impurities of this universe, and they must be annihilated.

They are the reason why everything happened! They should have been exterminated a long time ago! They don't deserve to live! Or that's what I had dreamed of doing!

But one day…."

Luis kicked Nyxia in the face and set her flying to the wall. Nyxia slammed onto the wall and dropped to the ground with a bloody look.

"You came into his life! You ruined everything!" Luis kept kicking Nyxia's face and body again and again as he yelled, "You ruined everything! But alas, I never gave up on my dream.

I first got him killed! Yes! It was my doing! I am the one who killed your husband! But that wasn't my plan. I wanted you dead… but he protected you and died instead! Still, at least he was out of the list.

And now! After I killed his son… your son— Virgil, the so-called vampire monarch, I will have my hands on Orion Heart kingdom. I will launch an attack on the human world and let all the vampires feed on them!

It will be a grand feast for them! Now…"

Luis conjured a glowing red sword in his hand and said, "Let me show you the wonders of the Alucard family, for we were once the strongest and will be the strongest soon."

He looked at his sword and licked it before saying, "Blood manipulation; specialty of the Alucard family. Once again, we will rise and rule over the weak! We will show them why vampires are the most deadly race of all!

Let's start with you first, Nyxia!"
