## Story

### The Beast God Desert

She makes an ambush attack on Chiyuki, however Medjed prevented the red light attack with his beam. She interfered Chiyuki from assisting Reiji, Zafarada noticed the reinforcement of Aarnak's troops. She grabs Dahāku and retreats.

Zalxis forbade anyone from seeing him in the Black Pyramid, so Zafarada contacted Karnef instead. Zafarada brings along Beig and six Vampire Knights to meet with her father, here Zalxis learns they failed their mission. Zafarada reported Ishtia had the Hero of Light with her. Out of anger, she attacked three of her vampire knights because they were less beautiful than the hero. Beig persuades her to stop because they are at the presence of Zalxis. Zafarada calms down to his words and apologies to her father. She asked for her father's order, to which Zalxis orders her to contact Diadona and ask for reinforcements just in case. She, Beig and the other vampire knights leaves.

When the Gypshir army has approached the black pyramid, Zafarada used magical imagery to project herself above the pyramid. She sarcastically thanks the Gypshir folks for building the pyramid. However Reiji used his Light cannon of Divine might to interrupt her. She gets annoyed with the Hero for not listening to her. She orders her ratmen subordinates to bring out Cat Sìth hostages. Zafarada laughs at the sight of the Gypshir faction arguing amongst themselves over the hostage situation. She was clearly planning to buying time. She gets befuddled with Medjed's strange appearance and dancing. She warns Medjed to stop approaching them, unless he wants the hostages to die. However Zafarada panics as the ratmen are affected by the flute. She'd witness the undead army being wiped out and she disconnects the magical imagery.

Zafarada, Dahāku and the other vampire knights defeated the mummies soldiers in Hapy. When Reiji, Chiyuki, Totona and Medjed arrives at Hapy, Dahāku fights Reiji while telling Zafarada to stop Reiji's allies from interference. She has been vigilant against Totona and Chiyuki. When Reiji seemingly defeated Dahāku, Reiji pointed his sword at Zafarada and questioned her next course of action with a triumphant look. Zafarada foreshadowed Dahāku's regeneration, to which Dahāku recovered and attacked Reiji from behind. However Medjed knocked and blown Dahāku away, Zafarada who had witnessed this was astonished. Reiji defeats Dahāku, and Zafarada used "Evil Blood Mist" to escape with Dahāku.

### The Phantom Death Capital

Jushio recounts his past with Zafarada.

Zafarada contacts Jushio and orders him to return back to Walluchia with Zasha.

She awaits for Jushio and Zasha to return to her Karnstein Castle. She chides Zasha for travelling away and taking her knights without her permission. Zasha responded that he went seeking for goods for celebrating their father's resurrection. Zafarada approves and asked for the goods. Jushio tries to defend Zasha but Zafarada shot a red light magic at Jushio's chest. She smiles at Jushio's pain and commented that he wasn't permitted to talk and asked whether is was her fault for Zasha's empty handed goods. She tells Zasha that Zalxis will finally resurrect Motgal. She plans to leave hastily to Motgal, while ordering Zasha to contact the others about the news.

Khouri and Mont briefly mentions the progenitor for making Bella as a vampire.

She along with her vampire subordinates greeted Zalxis in Motgal. She introduced Jushio to Zalxis.

In the death feast, she messaged Jushio to meet her. She waited for Jushio with other Vampire Knights, Zasha and Zalbuth. She informs Jushio about an intruder and allowed Zalbuth to further explain. Zafarada orders her knights to capture the intruder and to make them experience pain.

She misunderstood the situation of Zasha fighting the Dark Knight. When Zalbuth used a curse talisman to immobilise the dark knight's movement, she ordered her vampire knights to kill the dark knight, while she fired magic at him. However the dark knight forcefully cut down the vampire and deflected the magic back Zafarada. Zafarada was unable dodge the magic, and she had her left arm blown off and falls. Jushio swiftly saves her from falling. She transform into her true form and glares at the dark knight with hatred.

She is recovering her body in a bloodbath. She orders Jushio to kiss her feet.

Zafarada, Jushio and Zasha return to Karnstein castle in the ghost skyship. She praises Jushio for good management with the Sanshos village.

Zafarada orders Jushio to assault the valkyries.

Jushio shield Zafarada from a deadly attack. She refuse to allow Kuna to take Kuroki away. She is quickly angered by Kuna's condensing attitude. She fought against Kuna and Pipipolenna. Her right arm was blown off by Polen's great hammer, even though she barely scratch her. Jushio stabs her while she was fleeing from Polen. She requested her father to keep Kuroki's corpse intact so that he can become her plaything. It displeases her when Zasha requested Kuna to be her bride. The weakened Zafarada and Zalbuth fought against Polen.

### The Order of the Swan Knights

As Dahāku noticed a presence, a red mist appears in the air. The red mist converges and eventually becomes humanoid. A woman in a crimson robe appears. The one who appears is the Princess of Fresh Blood Zafarada.

Zafarada beside Dahāku asked him if she can procure Gylphos.

Suddenly something red and misty appears and it converges to form a human shape. A woman in a bright red garment emerged. Saying so, Zafarada clicks her nails. A woman called Zafarada is looking at Therion with one hand outstretched. The red light twists in the middle and shoots through Therion's leg. It didn't hit him in the head, but it still definitely reduced Therion's fighting strength. The battle between the Dark Knight, Prince of Serpents Dahāku and Princess of Fresh Blood Zafarada is still ongoing. The dark knight in the centre is small and barely moving. In contrast, Dahāku and Zafarada, who are moving around the perimeter, are attacking as if dancing violently. Zafarada also stops moving and bows to Diadona.

## Abilities

She has the strongest power amongst the hundred children of Zalxis, and the first of the Divine Children of Death. Zafarada is certainly strong, but has less firepower than the same Evil Gods such as Dahāku and Lavurys.

She has a special skill, that can hinder her enemy's sensing ability. Chiyuki believes it is a magic ability that can interfere with perception. In other words, it is easy to succeed in a surprise attack.

She can release black rose petals flying in the air. The scent of the rose petals probably contains poison.

* **Red Flash** (紅閃, *Kōsen*?) The red light is able to break and extinguish Kuna's magic shield.
* **Evil Blood Mist** (魔血霧イビルブラッドミスト, *Ma chigiriIbiru buraddo misuto*?)
* Larvae
* **Black Deathwind** (黒死風ブラックデスウィンド, *Kuro-shi-fūburakku desuuindo*?)

## Development

The hydra replaced Zafarada in the revised version Web Novel of the "Fairy Forest" arc.
