Chapter 131: An existence that defies common sense.
A few moments before Victor was announced as a new Vampire Count.
The entire group that stayed behind was in a room at Scathach’s mansion waiting for Victor.
The group consisted of Natalia, Yuki, Kaguya, Maria, June, Violet, Ruby, and Sasha.
“Darling is really taking a long time… If something happens to him… I-.” Violet’s eyes glittered dangerously. She was pacing around the room impatiently; Victor was really taking his time! It’s been over an hour since he left, and Violet couldn’t calm down!
“Stop thinking nonsense, he’s fine. A problem would only occur if Victor were to try something crazy, like challenging the King or something…” Ruby, who was reading Manga, calmly said. She wasn’t too worried. After all, her mother Scathach Scarlett was with her husband during the meeting with the king, and Ruby was 100% sure her mother wouldn’t let anything happen to Victor.
“…” Violet and Sasha looked at Ruby.
Feeling the stares of her childhood friends, Ruby thought about what she said, and soon her eyes widened:
“Oh Fuck.” She facepalmed. She realized it was quite possible for that to happen… Her husband seemed to lose brain cells whenever he met a strong opponent.
“…He wouldn’t really do that, would he…? I mean, that’s crazy!” June said. She didn’t believe Victor would be so crazy as to attack the king of the vampires.
Come on, he’s the king, you know? The king of all vampires, the Progenitor, the Big Boss! He is strong! And he would not tolerate such disrespect in his own castle!
“…” All the women looked at June with pity.
“…W-What?” She didn’t understand the women’s eyes.
“She’s so young…” Kaguya commented.
“So innocent…” Maria continued.
“And a little dumb too,” Luna spoke with a sadistic smile on her face.
“Grrr… I’m not dumb!” June didn’t like being called dumb.
“Well, dumb people don’t know they’re dumb…” Siena said.
“…That surprisingly makes sense,” Lacus said.
Pepper, who was reading Manga lying next to Ruby, suddenly stood up, and with her supernatural speed, she appeared in front of June.
“Hiii.” June was startled by Pepper’s red gaze.
“…Think, June. Think!” She made the same exaggerated gestures that Victor did and even copied his crazy expression!
“H-Huh?” ‘What happened to this girl!?’ June was freaking out internally.
“My Brother in law was the man who dared attack a woman who in the past had the title of countess! Do you think he wouldn’t have the balls to attack the king!?”
“…Well…” June thought this was quite possible.
“Right!?”
“Hiii…” Somehow Pepper’s crazy look was scaring June more than before. What happened to that innocent girl!?
“Remember, madness is like gravity. You just need a little push, and in the end… You will become just like him!” She displayed a distorted smile that displayed all her sharp teeth.
“HAHAHAHAHAHA~” And suddenly she started laughing like crazy.
“…” An uncomfortable silence fell around them, they were just too shocked, but it wasn’t due to June’s question but Pepper’s performance! Was she always this good!?
In fact… Was this really an act!? Her laugh was horrifying!
“Pepper…”
“Fueeee?” Pepper looked at Ruby with an innocent look.
“Why are you imitating my husband?” Ruby’s eyes twitched many times.
“I thought it would be cool.” She pouted.
“…” Kaguya, Ruby, Lacus, and Siena facepalmed.
“Pepper, don’t do that. Don’t imitate my husband.” Ruby spoke in a serious tone.
“…” Siena and Lacus nodded fiercely. What will they do if innocent little Pepper becomes just like Victor!? Hell no! They don’t even want to think about it!
“Hmm, The Killing Joke? Were you reading this?” Sasha got up and picked up the comic Pepper was reading.
“AHH! Do not be rude!” Pepper used her speed and tried to take the comic from Sasha’s hand.
But who is Sasha? The woman who was born with the power of lightning! She’s fast!
“Naive!” Sasha’s body was suddenly covered in lightning, and she easily dodged Pepper’s hands.
“Ah… Hey!” Pepper looked like a squirrel that had been tricked.
“Let’s see~” Sasha opened the comic and began to read.
“I’m interested too,” Ruby spoke.
“Me too…” Violet didn’t want to be left out.
When the three of them read just a few pages of the magazine, they looked dryly at Pepper.
“Hmm…” Pepper turned her face away and started whistling.
“I forbid you to read this!” Ruby spoke. Normally, Ruby wouldn’t care what her sister did, but this… This comic is too heavy! Is Pepper easily influenced? What if she reads these comics a lot and ends up being someone worse than Victor!? Hell no! Not innocent Pepper!
“Ehhh!?” Pepper didn’t believe what she heard.
“Pepper, don’t go to the dark side,” Ruby spoke.
“But they give you cookies!” Pepper pouted.
“This is a lie! That’s the same thing as saying that Santa Claus exists! He does not exist!” Ruby broke the innocent girl’s reality.
“N-Noooooo!” Pepper didn’t believe her life was a lie.
“…” All the girls just looked at her with a small smile on their faces; it was good to see the mood lightened.
Suddenly, they heard the voice of the King of Vampires.
“With my authority as king of all vampires, I, Vlad Tepes, hereby declare.”
“That’s the king…” Siena had met the king several times, and she recognized the man’s voice.
“!!!” June’s whole body shook with fear, she couldn’t even move, she was like that just by listening to the king’s voice!
“…” Lacus didn’t say anything, but her eyes were bright with curiosity.
“What will he declare?” Natalia was a little curious.
“I have a bad feeling about this…” Violet said.
“…” Kaguya, Maria, Ruby, and Sasha couldn’t help but agree with Violet since they felt the same way.
“The birth of a new Vampire Count!”
“… Eh?”
An uncomfortable silence fell in the mansion of Scathach, a new Vampire Count!? How long has it been since this happened? Who is the new Vampire Count!? And why did the king make such a sudden decision!?
Several thoughts were going through the women’s heads, but they just kept silent and listened in silence.
“As of today, the Fifth Pillar of Vampire Society, responsible for Exploring and Discovering New Lands, is assigned to Clan Alucard.”
“… A-Alucard…” Natalia stuttered a lot. She completely lost her composure that she spent years training. She gulped. Who was the fool who created a clan with the king’s name just written backwards!? This was a clear demonstration of challenge!
‘Don’t tell me…’ A ridiculous thought crossed Natalia’s mind, but soon she shook her head several times in denial; ‘I’m thinking too much, this is impossible, he’s only been a vampire for six months!’
But the next words completely destroyed Natalia’s reality.
“The leader of Clan Alucard is the new disciple of Scathach Scarlett, who recently won an arena game, Victor Walker!”
“…” As if it were a supernatural phenomenon, the brains of all the women in the room completely stopped working, their minds blank, complete emptiness!
They couldn’t even form a coherent thought.
And with that uncomfortable silence, the women listened to all the king’s words in silence.
“As per tradition, Victor, the new Count, has abandoned the Walker name and assumed the name Alucard.”
“My citizens, hail the new Vampire Count, the new pillar of vampire society, Victor Alucard.”
Suddenly the King’s voice died down… And even after 20 minutes had passed, the silence still persisted in the mansion.
“UGHYAAAAAAAAAA!!!!” Suddenly Pepper screamed, as she seemed to have freaked out.
“WaWaWa!” She started running around!
“A Count!? A Count!? My brother-in-law has become a Count! UGHYAAAAA!”
Pepper’s scream seemed to reset the women’s brains.
“M-Master has become a Count…” Kaguya’s expression was pure shock, even though she heard it, she still couldn’t believe it…
“MMM-Master is a new Count…? Ehh?” Yuki stuttered a lot while her eyes were rolling, and she couldn’t seem to form coherent thoughts.
“Hahahahahaha…” Siena looked at the ceiling of the mansion with completely lifeless eyes, “He’s completely nonsense… What is this? What is this reality? Are we living in a dream?” As a vampire who knew the rules and social status of the vampire world well, this announcement totally broke Siena’s worldview.
That’s not how it works, okay!? A vampire cannot become a new Vampire Count that easily! First, they have to master the entire Vampire Count transformation for them to even think about the possibility of being a Count!
In some ways, challenging a Vampire Count Clan and taking the title from them is easier than becoming a new Count completely from scratch!
Lacus exhibited a small smile, “…As expected of him, I think?” In some strange way, she thought this was a natural result.
“Alucard… Count Alucard…” Maria, as an ex-hunter, knew what kind of existence Vampire Counts were. They were beings that required several generals, many hunters, and traps to hunt; they were special existences. She never thought she would live long enough to see another Count’s birth…
Unconsciously, a smile began to grow on Maria’s face; ‘My master is a completely incomprehensible existence…’
“Huh?” She suddenly woke up from stupor and shook her head several times in an attempt to get the thought out of her head; ‘Why am I thinking of him as my master!? What’s going on with my head!?’ She seemed to have her own issues too.
Violet, Ruby, and Sasha just stood there in shock. They didn’t even know how to react to this news.
“Violet…” Ruby spoke in a dead voice.
“…Yes?” Violet replied in the same dead voice.
“He became a Count…”
“I know…”
“…Violet,” Sasha spoke in a voice like the two women.
“Yes, I am Violet…”
“Our husband has become a Count…”
“I know…”
“Violet…” Ruby said.
“Yes, Yes?”
“What do we do now…?” Sasha and Ruby spoke in unison.
“Do I have the face of someone who knows…?”
With Victor becoming a Vampire Count, an existence said to be capable of destroying a country easily, several supernatural beings will appear looking for the new Count. And, what does that mean?
It means more problems!
Rumble, Rumble, Rumble.
Violet, Ruby, and Sasha quickly looked up at the sky.
“He is coming back.” The three displayed a loving smile.
Chapter 132: An existence that defies common sense. 2
Rumble, Rumble!
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
Victor landed in front of Scathach’s mansion and casually created a small crater as a result…
“Hmm, my power got stronger again.” He looked at the hole and started to think that because this happened, he remembered that he could control his lightning power more easily, but now it seemed that the lightning power had gotten stronger and more indomitable like a wild horse.
“… Natashia’s blood.” Scathach’s face twitched a little.
“Ah.”
Scathach looked at Victor,
“Haven’t you noticed this before? You used your lightning before in the throne room. You even managed to easily dodge those guards.”
“Hmm.” Victor put his hand to his chin and remembered that something like this had happened, “I was too focused on Vlad at the time that I didn’t realize what I did.”
Scathach raised an eyebrow, “…Did you combine my technique with the power of lightning so naturally without realizing it?”
“Yes…?” Victor turned his head, not understanding, “Isn’t that the same thing as combining it with the power of ice?”
“Sigh… Seriously, you…” Scathach didn’t know what to say. She couldn’t tell if her disciple was a genius or an idiot sometimes. How does he do things without noticing?
‘…Come to think of it, I’ve done the same thing before in the past…’ Scathach just realized that they really were a lot alike.
“Anyway, let’s go.” Victor lifted Scathach like a princess and jumped out of the crater.
“W-Wait.” Victor’s sudden action left Scathach flustered. Normally she would be able to react quickly to avoid such a situation. But for some reason, she didn’t feel like doing so.
Victor flashed a small, imperceptible smile on his face when he saw Scathach’s face.
Upon exiting the crater, Victor soon placed Scathach on the ground and walked ahead of her towards the mansion entrance.
“…” Scathach stared at her disciple’s broad back. Unconsciously, she placed her hand on her frantically beating heart. ‘What is this?’ She couldn’t understand what was happening to her. ‘Were Victor’s shoulders always this broad before…?’
“What are you doing, Scathach? Are you not coming?” Victor turned and looked at Scathach.
Seeing the gentle smile on Victor’s face, her heart began to beat faster. “Mm.” Her response was surprisingly meek.
Victor’s smile grew as he extended his hand, “Let’s go to our house?”
Hearing the word ‘our house’. Her heart started pounding fiercely, and her ears turned a little red; ‘Ahhh~, I don’t know anymore! I’ll think about it later.’ She was never good with this feelings business. In the end, she gave up thinking.
Soon she walked towards Victor.
…
When Victor appeared in the room next to Scathach, he was suddenly attacked by three white, red, and blonde colored rockets!
“Darling!!!”
“Oof…” Victor fell to the ground, and, for a moment, he was breathless.
“Hahahaha~. Violet, I understand, but Ruby and Sasha too?” He chuckled in amusement when he saw the faces of his wives; he felt so happy now.
“Forget it! Explain what happened!?” Ruby yelled.
“Yes, Yes!” Violet nodded several times.
“How did you become a Count!? Explain! Now!” Sasha yelled.
“Yes, Yes!” Violet nodded furiously.
“… Pfft… HAHAHAHAHA~” Unable to take it anymore, he laughed in amusement.
“Stop laughing!” The three-spoke.
“…” Scathach’s brow twitched, she didn’t like this sight at all.
“Tsk.” She turned her face away. For a moment, she felt an immense desire to kill the three women, and one of them was her daughter! Her beloved daughter! Is she crazy!? To prevent something tragic from happening, she ignored it.
“…This is turning into something dangerous…” Siena spoke when she saw their mother’s reaction. ‘Although I have full confidence that my mother won’t do any harm to her daughters, she’s just too overprotective to do that.’
“Yes…” Lacus and Pepper agreed.
“Welcome back, Mother.” The three spoke at the same time.
“…” Scathach looked at her daughters, her precious daughters, and she displayed a gentle smile, “I’m back.” Somehow she was calmer now.
Scathach looked at the four women, Kaguya, Yuki, Natalia, and Maria, who walked towards Victor.
“Master… You’re back.” Kaguya said
“Hmm? Hello, my maid, I can pay your salary now.” Victor displayed a small smile.
“…” Victor’s words put a smile on Kaguya’s face.
“Of course, I haven’t forgotten my debt to you, greedy witch,” Victor spoke as he looked at June. “I’ll pay you too.”
“… That’s nice.” She displayed a little satisfied smile.
“…” Natalia was staring at Victor quite brazenly; ‘A new Count… A new Count… What did the king see in him?’ Her eyes were bright with curiosity.
“Master, what about me?” Yuki raised her hand.
“Hmm? But don’t you get a salary from Clan Snow?”
“Yes…” Yuki lowered his head shyly.
“And do you want me to pay for you too?”
“…Yes…”
“HAHAHAHAHAHAH~”
“…” Hearing Victor’s laugh, Yuki’s face turned pure red. She knew she was being brazen, but who’s going to refuse money!? And she is a woman! She needs money!
“Fine, I’ll pay you too.”
“Yes…!” She did a small victory action with her fist.
“Master… And me?” Maria’s eyes sparkled.
“You too? Isn’t Sasha paying you?”
“…Well…” Maria turned her face away.
“Sasha…” Victor looked at his wife.
“Why should I pay my enemy!?”
“Even enemies need money, tell me…” He looked at Maria’s maid outfit that looked quite worn, “How long has she been wearing this same outfit?”
“…Well…” Sasha turned her face away and didn’t answer Victor’s question.
“As a woman, you understand that she needs at least one change of clothes, right?”
“Yes…” Sasha pouted.
“HAHAHAHA~, don’t make that face, I’m not judging you or anything, you can do whatever you want, and I’ll support you 100%… Wrong, 1000%” Victor exhibited a gentle smile at the end.
“Darling…” Sasha’s eyes sparkled lovingly.
“But even if she’s your enemy, she’s helping you now. She deserves at least a bit of respect.” Victor suddenly started to float, and slowly, he started to get up. It was like he was a vampire coming out of a coffin.
Violet, Sasha, and Ruby walked away from Victor.
Victor cracked his neck a little, then he looked at Maria, “I’ll pay you. It won’t be a big salary like my maids, but it will be enough for you to buy new clothes and everything you need.”
“Thank you, Master…” Maria exhibited a gentle smile. She knew she didn’t deserve it; after all, her actions condemned her. Because of that, she was so happy when she saw how kind her master was!
‘Wait, he is not my master!’ She shook her head several times, as she seemed to have her own issues too.
“Umu! Anyway, let’s sit down, we need to talk.”
…
After an hour, Victor recounted everything that had happened in detail to all the women present.
Victor was sitting on an ice throne with his legs crossed while Ruby and Sasha were on his lap, wanting to be pampered!
And that was something Victor gladly did. He looked out of the corner of his eye at Violet, who was sitting next to Pepper, and flashed a gentle smile. ‘She’s being thoughtful, huh?’
He understood a little of Violet’s thoughts. Although she was jealous, she wanted to give Sasha and Ruby space to have their moment with Victor.
“Unbelievable…” Siena facepalmed.
“Master, you are crazy,” Kaguya spoke in a dry tone.
“M-Master attacked the king…” Yuki was looking at the ceiling with a look of disbelief.
“Victor, are you not aware of the danger?” Lacus asked.
“HAHAHAHA~” Victor’s laugh answered the women’s questions.
“…” June looked at Victor with eyes in the form of money; ‘I knew he would become great, but who would have thought he would become a Count!? I smell the money! I can feel it! A gold mine is in front of me!’
All that was on the greedy witch’s mind was money…
Natalia had another thought; ‘Why didn’t my father do anything?’ Knowing her father as she does, she knew that man was fanatical about the king. He wouldn’t allow that kind of disrespect. If even he didn’t do anything, it meant the king wanted it to happen.
‘The king wanted to show his children something…’ She thought about it because it was quite rare for the king to gather all of his children.
“Cool…” Pepper’s eyes were shining like a child who had found an idol. She seemed to have entered her own world.
“…” Ruby, Lacus, and Siena seeing this spoke in unison:
“Victor/Darling, don’t corrupt Pepper!”
“…Huh?” Victor didn’t understand; he hadn’t done anything.
“Look!” All three pointed at Pepper.
“Hmm?” Victor looked at Pepper.
“She’s a goner…” Sasha spoke in a low voice as she leaned her head against Victor’s chest.
“She looks like those kids who found an idol to admire… Although the idol she chose is quite questionable…” Violet said.
“Yes…” Ruby, Siena, and Lacus agreed with Violet.
“…What do you think, Scathach?” Victor asked his mother-in-law’s opinion.
“!!!” Ruby, Violet, and Sasha felt a bad feeling when they heard the way Victor called Scathach… Somehow, the way he called Scathach was different now than before.
‘…Looks like Lady Lacus, Pepper and Siena will have a new father in the future…’ Luna flashed a slight smile when she saw the face Scathach made for a few seconds when Victor called her name.
‘Wait… And Ruby? What will she be to Victor? Huh? Ehhh?’ Luna’s head seemed to have collapsed.
“Hmm?” Scathach, who was sitting on a throne resembling Victor’s, looked at Pepper.
“Oh?” She exhibited a small smile. “That’s good. If she continues like this, she’ll get stronger.”
“Hmm…” Victor thought for a moment, then said, “But if she becomes like me, she’ll need to train.” Victor’s eyes glowed blood red, “Her current state now… It’s just disappointing.”
“…You’re correct…” Scathach’s eyes sparkled in a way similar to Victor’s.
“Fueeee?” Pepper, who was in her own world, woke up when she felt the eyes of her mother and Victor.
“Oh Fuck.” The three sisters facepalmed as they just realized that they dug their dear sister’s own grave.
“…W-Well, I have to go back to my room…” Pepper had a bad feeling when she saw the look of her mother and Victor.
The looks of the two were scary! Their smiles were scary! Why is none of her family normal!?
And then she did what she thought was best.
“Bye!!!”
She ran away…
Chapter 133: My Beloved.
After a long discussion, the whole group went back to their respective rooms.
Upon arriving in the room where Victor slept with his wives, he fed his dear wives his blood, and soon after, he told them he was going to visit Scathach.
“We need to resolve this in the future,” Ruby said as she laid down on the bed while wearing a very sexy black nightgown.
“Yes, when our husband returns to the human world, we can talk to him,” Sasha spoke and soon laid down too. She decided to sleep in bunny pajamas today.
“Tsk, that woman, why did she fall in love with my husband?” Violet’s eyes weren’t pretty. She was wearing a long black shirt that looked like it was Victor’s, and black panties.
“Are you okay with this, Ruby?” Violet looked at Ruby.
“…Huh?”
“I mean, she’s your mom, right?”
“Yes… But what am I going to do? I’ve never seen my mom like this before, I don’t know what to do.”
“The mighty Countess Scathach Scarlett blushing like a teenage girl in love…” Ruby spoke in a sarcastic tone.
“…” Sasha and Violet were silent.
“The funny thing about all this is that she doesn’t even notice her own feelings, even though it’s pretty obvious.” Ruby continued…
“…Hmm, I think she better never find out about this…” Sasha commented.
“Oh? Why…?” Violet spoke.
“Well, she’s Scathach Scarlett, a warrior woman… I’m 100% sure that if she were aware of her feelings, she’d say something like-” Sasha suddenly got up on the bed and said:
“I will not accept a husband weaker than me!” She perfectly mimicked Scathach’s voice.
“…” Violet and Ruby were surprised by Sasha’s performance, but when they registered Sasha’s words, they said:
“Yes… My mother would say something like that.” Ruby
“That is something that woman would say.” Violet.
“Right?” Sasha laid back down on the bed. “In the end, this is a complicated situation…”
“Yes…” The three felt that if Scathach knew about her feelings before Victor was strong enough, something horrible would happen.
“Ugh, I’m glad she’s emotionally dumb.” Violet felt the problems coming miles away.
“Hey, that was rude,” Ruby spoke.
“…” Violet stared at Ruby with a dry look.
“But you are correct.” Ruby agreed. It was well known that when Countess Scathach Scarlett wanted something, she would burn the world, to get what she wanted.
“So, what do we do?” Sasha asked.
“Nothing,” Violet spoke.
“E-Eh?” Ruby and Sasha didn’t understand.
“If we explain to Scathach what she is feeling, she will do anything to make our husband stronger quickly. She is quite impatient when she wants something.”
“And that’s bad. Our husband needs to train for years to control his powers. We can’t rush his pace even though he’s so strong. Remember, he’s still a newborn Vampire.” She didn’t want Victor to harm his soul again. Just imagining her life without Victor made her feel fear deep in her heart.
“…” Ruby and Sasha thought it made sense, considering, normally, a vampire takes years to fully mature. Victor was just too freaky.
“But what if she loses control out of jealousy?” Sasha asked.
“She’s not going to do anything drastic since she loves Ruby so much, and Darling…”
“The only thing we can do is leave everything in Darling’s hands. He knows how to deal with her. After all, they are very similar.”
Sigh…
The three women sighed. They felt tired of dealing with Scathach; it’s very difficult to deal with a vampire who has the power of an atomic bomb.
Stopping to think… Ruby looked at Violet, “You’re growing up, Violet.”
“Hmm…? You think?” Violet raised an eyebrow.
“Yes, I thought you were going to freak out…” Ruby said.
“If it were the old you, you would say something like; ‘My Darling!? Huh? I’m going to kill that bitch!'” Sasha was becoming quite proficient at imitating people…
“Hmm? I don’t need to do that anymore.”
“Huh?” Ruby and Sasha didn’t understand.
“Darling, loves me…” Violet’s eyes darkened completely, and slowly her smile began to grow disproportionately.
“!!!” Ruby and Sasha’s hearts started pounding wildly as they were taken by surprise! They didn’t expect this! She was much scarier than before!
“And I was his first wife, his first wife, his first lover, I was his first love… I am everything to him, and he is everything to me… I don’t have to worry about other women, because in the end, no matter how many years pass, I will always be with him, and he will always be with me.”
Gulp.
The two gulped.
Her eyes cleared, and she smiled gently, “And I became greedy. At first, I didn’t like it. But now, I can’t live without my childhood friends… And it’s not like Scathach was unknown to me, she taught me some things in the past…”
“My Darling will always love me. And for me, that’s enough… You’ll understand in the future.” Violet laid down on the bed and exhibited a listless smile. She still remembered the night she had with Victor, and she felt ‘the love’ he had for her. She knew he was like her. Because of that, she was not worried.
‘He will always be with me, no matter the time, no matter the place, no matter the world… he will always be there… My beloved Darling~.’
“…” Ruby and Sasha didn’t know what to say. Were they happy that Violet had matured or not? But the way she matured went in a completely strange direction! What is that!? They couldn’t understand the current Violet.
…
Room of Scathach.
Victor entered Scathach’s room without knocking.
“…” Scathach looked at Victor with a neutral gaze. She was completely the way she came into the world due to her being in the middle of changing into more comfortable clothes.
“Hmm.” Victor looked Scathach up and down and said, “The red one suits you better.” Victor saw that she was holding a black nightgown…
“Hmm, okay.” Scathach threw the black nightgown she took from the wardrobe and took another very similar one but red in color, then she put on her nightgown and put on some panties of the same color.
As Scathach changed clothes, Victor felt nostalgic. He remembered that this happened many times while they were training together. ‘Although the situation is a little more different than before…’ He chuckled in amusement.
In the past, he hadn’t looked to Scathach as a possible future wife.
“What do you think?”
Victor displayed a gentle smile, “Beautiful…”
“Oh…” Her heart began to pound furiously, “Good, I think.” Her ears turned a little red.
‘Ahhh~, why do I have such a beautiful, cute, and at the same time so problematic mother-in-law?’ His smile grew warmer.
“What are you doing here?” She asked as if trying to change the subject.
Victor closed his eyes and thought, ‘Well, I think that’s her charm. Now, I have another reason to get stronger.’
Like his wives, Victor understood Scathach’s personality very well. In fact, he was the one who understood the woman the most.
Victor didn’t say anything and just unbuttoned his suit.
Gulp.
Unconsciously, Scathach gulped when she saw him unbuttoning his suit.
Victor exposed his neck to Scathach, opened his eyes, and displayed a gentle smile:
“Come, Scathach.” He held out his hand for her to take:
“…” Scathach’s eyes glowed blood red.
She sniffed the air a little and smelled his delicious scent, and, slowly, as if she was being bewitched by something, started walking towards Victor.
When her hand touched Victor’s hand, she suddenly found herself being pulled by Victor.
Despite being tall by the standards of women at 186 CM tall, in front of Victor, she was still a little short.
Victor held Scathach’s waist, lifted her chin, and looked into Scathach’s blood red eyes, “What did I say in the past?” Then, using his hand, he caressed Scathach’s cheek gently.
Scathach looked into Victor’s eyes, seeing his smile, feeling his gentle touch, she somehow felt very sweet inside:
“If I was thirsty, I was supposed to come to you…” That was something Victor said while the two were training.
“Are you thirsty now?”
Scathach’s eyes flashed, “Yes… I am…”
Victor exhibited a small smile as he slowly lowered his hands, grabbed Scathach’s ass, and used it to lift her up.
Scathach wrapped her legs around Victor’s waist. She looked at Victor, not understanding why he did it, but she didn’t have time to think too much as Victor presented his neck and said:
“Come.”
Scathach’s eyes seemed to glow brighter, and she opened her mouth wide. Slowly all her teeth changed, becoming sharper, then she bit into his neck!
‘Delicious!!’ Like a thirsty beast, she began to suck Victor’s blood quite greedily.
Gulp, Gulp!
She was very thirsty!
“…Calm down, I’m not going anywhere…” Victor gently patted Scathach’s back.
As she drank Victor’s blood, she suddenly felt something hard touching her private part. She stopped sucking Victor’s blood and looked at him.
“…Are you attracted to me…?”
“…” Victor opened his eyes wide.
The sight of Scathach in that rather sexy red nightgown that accentuated her ripe, seductive body. The sight of her with his blood oozing from her mouth as she made a surprised face caught him off guard.
Badump, Badump!
His heart was beating like crazy.
‘Ahh~… This is bad… This really is bad… If it goes on like this, I won’t be able to let you run away from me anymore… If it goes on like this… something really terrible will happen… .’ Victor’s eyes slowly began to lose their shine, and he slowly raised his arm towards Scathach.
“!!!” Scathach felt her whole body tremble as she looked into Victor’s dark eyes and felt herself slowly falling into the abyss of Victor’s eyes.
Touching Scathach’s face, he spoke as he caressed her face:
“Of course… My beloved Scathach is so beautiful, how can I not be attracted?”
“Oh… B-Beloved… Huh?” She flashed a loving little smile as her thoughts were replaying victor’s words like a broken record; ‘Beloved. Beloved. Beloved. Beloved. Beloved. Beloved.’
“…” Victor exhibited a gentle smile:
“Don’t think about anything for now, just come.” He pulled Scathach’s face toward his neck.
“!!!” Smelling Victor’s ‘golden blood’, Scathach stopped thinking about bullshit and did as he said; she bit his neck again!
“Ah~” Unconsciously, Victor let out a moan as he patted Scathach’s back, staring at the bedroom ceiling with his eyes completely listless. He seemed to be thinking deeply about something.
Chapter 134: The supernatural world’s interests in the new Count.
The supernatural world was in a frenzy.
Someone worthy enough to be called a Vampire Count has appeared! King Vlad Tepes has recognized someone as a new Count!
And this man was bold enough to create a Clan with the king’s own name just written backwards! A clear demonstration of challenge!
The vampires were crazy with curiosity. They wanted to know everything about the new Count! They wanted to know what kind of person the new pillar of vampire society was!
But all attempts to obtain information about the new Vampire Count were futile! Like Scathach Scarlett, he was a difficult man to get information about!
The only thing they had was the recording of the fight that took place in the arena!
And when all the vampires in the entire human world and the vampire world saw that recording, they understood something.
That man is crazy! He’s a battle maniac!
It was a consensus that everyone arrived at while rewatching Victor’s battle.
‘We need to know more about him!’ Those were the thoughts of the entire vampire community.
But it wasn’t just vampires who were interested in the new Count.
Hunters, wolves, and witches were too!
The witches wanted to contact the new Count to provide whatever services the new Count desired. Their thoughts were simple.
The new pillar is responsible for exploring the world of Nightingale, so what does that mean?
Unexplored lands, unexplored resources. There may even be some new resources that could help them research future spells…
The common consensus of all witches was… MONEY!!! The new Count Victor Alucard reeked of money! They needed to get in touch with him!
“Daughter, find the new Count, and try to form business ties with him. We can’t miss this chance.” A woman’s voice echoed throughout a forest that had a gigantic tree.
“Yes, Mother.” A woman with long red hair that reached the floor responded while kneeling in respect.
The witches moved, but they weren’t the only ones.
The werewolves, beings said to be the eternal rivals of the vampire race, were moving too. Their motive?
They did not have one…
The King of Wolves spoke, “If that old man has entrusted someone with the important position of a Count, and if he had the balls to create a Clan with the opposite name to that old man, then he must be strong! HAHAHAHAHA~”
“MY SON, Anderson! You will visit him!”
“Yes, Father!”
In a way, Victor would get along with them…
On the other hand, the rise of a new Count was terrible news for the Vatican.
…
“Sigh…” Pope Alexander was quite depressed.
After Scathach’s little ‘visit’ six months ago, Alexander had all of his generals killed, and even Mizuki lost an arm. The damage done around him was unimaginable, but that wasn’t what he was depressed about.
After all, houses can be rebuilt, the dead can be revived, and a small loss of an arm is easy to cure.
As long as ‘God’ and the Pope existed, generals could be resurrected at any time. n(0)vel(b)(j)(n)hosted the premiere release of this chapter.
‘As expected, the glory of God is eternal.’ Alexander thought in praise.
“Your Holiness, you need to get some rest,” Mizuki spoke in a neutral tone. She seemed to have completely accepted her role as general.
“Yes… I know, but I don’t have that luxury, look.” Alexander showed a recording to Mizuki.
Mizuki looked at the notebook and saw Victor’s fight against Tatsuya and Einer, “Is this… Is it that boy?”
“Yes, and he is also the new Vampire Count.”
“… Eh?” Mizuki thought she was suddenly deaf.
Alexander exhibited a small smile when he saw Miyuki’s surprised smile, then he showed off the recorded audio of what the vampire king said.
A few minutes after listening to the audio, she said:
“Shouldn’t vampire counts be existences like walking atomic bombs that can destroy countries? That boy has already reached that level!? Isn’t it too fast!?” She very much doubted that this was possible. After all, the time barrier is an absolute for vampires.
“I don’t think he’s at Count level…I think he has the potential to reach that level in the future. Because of that, the king recruited him as a Count. Watch the video, you’ll understand.”
“…” Mizuki nodded and started watching the video, and soon she understood.
“The three powers of the Counts…”
“Yes… The word Super Vampire sounds like it was created exclusively for him.” Alexander sighed again; he was too old to handle this shit!
A baby vampire who has the power of the three strongest vampire count clans!? Huh!?
‘Ugh… As if four Counts weren’t enough of a problem. Now… I have this boy to deal with…’
“Anyway, do you get the spear back?”
“Yes, we found the spear in the hands of a civilian, but don’t worry, we’ve already retrieved the spear, and the civilian completely forgot about that matter,” Miyuki replied.
“…Eh?” Alexander looked very surprised.
“Was this civilian human!?”
“Yes…?”
“What’s this human’s name!?”
“I do not know?”
“Ugh…” Alexander facepalmed.
“Your Holiness?”
“You do not understand?” He sighed.
“…?”
“If an ordinary human took hold of the sacred spear and survived, that means he has the potential to be a Hunter!”
“Oh…” Miyuki didn’t know that.
“Recruit him immediately!”
“Yes!” Mizuki quickly exited the pope’s office room and began giving orders to her subordinates.
Sigh…
“I’m too old for this shit.” In a way, despite looking young, he had the mentality of an old man.
…
Of course, upon learning of a new Vampire Count, some forces that had inside information didn’t like this imbalance of power, and they sought a chance to kill the new Count. After all, what could a baby vampire do? Even though he has the power of an adult vampire, that is still only equivalent to a 500 year old adult vampire!
He would not have too keen senses to find almost undetectable threats.
What about Scathach’s territory? It was well known that by entering Scathach’s territory without permission, the chance of the intruders disappearing is 100%. But…
They completely ignored this little detail. They were blinded by their noble purposes, and even if they fail, some lost subordinates won’t be missed! They needed to take the chance while the new Count was still weak!
On the outskirts of Scathach’s mansion.
Several shadows were running towards Scathach’s mansion. They crept like silent ninjas, and not even a footstep could be heard.
The mission of these Assassins was simple, to kill the new Count.
When the mission is complete, clear the entire place and, if possible, return with the body of the new Count. After all, a vampire who can use all three powers can be a very valuable specimen.
A quick and simple job, they didn’t need to talk, they all knew their mission.
When the Assassins were near Scathach’s mansion.
Two swords of ice covered with flames pierced the heads of two Assassins.
The swords flew so fast that they couldn’t even react. Some Assassins looked at the swords and saw that it was covered with the lightning elemental energy too.
“!!!” This sudden change had the Assassins on their toes.
“Breaking into my house.” A voice that sent shivers down the Assassins’ spines was heard, and they quickly looked in the direction of the voice and saw Victor standing on the roof of the mansion as the moonlight reflected his appearance.
He looked like a king who came to judge those guilty of their crimes.
“I must admit you are brave, you maggots.”
Looking into Victor’s blood red eyes, all the Assassins felt the chill down their spines grow colder.
The Assassins quickly hid in the forest, and by using enchanted equipment, they could become one with nature. They were confident that a baby vampire like Victor wouldn’t notice them.
“Assassins, even if you are hundreds, I can see you in the shadows.” Victor’s eyes gleamed dangerously. It was pretty obvious that his mood wasn’t good.
Victor faced a hidden Assassin.
When Victor’s gaze fell on this Assassin, the assassin felt his entire existence tremble in fear. They were wrong! This man is not a baby vampire. He is a monster!
“The crime of breaking into my house where my wives live must be paid for in blood.”
Victor’s eyes glowed blood red as cold air rushed out of his body, and soon thousands of ice guns began to be created behind him.
“W-Wh…” Some Assassins were speechless when they saw the vision in front of them.
Victor snapped his fingers, and those weapons were suddenly covered by fire and by lightning.
“Don’t think that any of you are going to run away from here today.” Victor’s gloves began to glow furiously.
The cold air around Victor started to get colder, his skin started to become paler, and soon he said:
“Cocoon.”
FUSHHHHHHHHHHHH
The cold air around Victor exploded and spread across Scathach’s territory.
And soon, a gigantic cocoon was created.
When the Assassins saw this demonstration taking place in front of them, they finally understood something…
‘Ahhh… He really is a Vampire Count.’ They all dropped their weapons in a sign of surrender, they thought that doing so would satisfy Victor, but they were wrong.
This pathetic display only made Victor angrier.
Victor’s expression distorted into anger, a dark killing intent began to leave Victor’s body.
“Disappointing.” Although he spoke quietly, his voice was heard by everyone inside the cocoon.
“!!!” The Assassins couldn’t move under Victor’s pressure.
“You disgust me.”
The guns that were behind Victor suddenly made a move and were pointed towards all the Assassins.
When Victor was going to fire the guns at all the Assassins, he felt someone hugging his body.
“Take it easy, Victor.” Scathach, who had dressed in her usual outfit, spoke in a calm tone as she hugged Victor as if she were a loving wife and seemed to be floating around Victor.
“…Scathach? I said I would settle this matter.”
“!!!” Seeing the red-haired woman hugging the man so gently and seeing the man calling the woman so intimately, only one thought crossed the minds of the Assassins, ”This man is Scathach’s new husband!? Was he not your disciple!?’
“I know, but I noticed your anger, and when you’re angry, no enemy will be left to tell the story, and, because of that, I decided to interfere… After all, these worms dared to invade my territory, I need to know who it was who ordered them.”
As she hugged Victor, she glanced at the Assassins, “Right?”
When the Assassins saw Scathach’s blood red eyes, they felt their entire existence tremble in fear, and they immediately understood something:
They were fucked on every possible level.
They hadn’t expected the new Count to be something like a husband, an existence so close to Countess Scathach…
“…” Seeing the Assassins unwilling to fight, Scathach made a face of disgust similar to Victor, and she had the same feeling as Victor.
“Disgust. Now, I understand your anger.” Scathach looked at the Assassins.
“Right? This garbage dared to invade my house, and demonstrate this pathetic attitude in front of me.”
“Yes.” Scathatch agreed with Victor’s words and felt the same way he felt about the Assassins.
“Oh?” She seemed to have noticed something.
And with a speed the Assassins couldn’t react to, she appeared in front of a man wearing a completely black outfit.
She grabbed Assassin by the neck and raised him in the air. Then, seeing a small black ball on the body of the Assassins, she says:
“I see… These worms dare to spy on me…” If before she was a little angry, now she was furious!
“What did you say…?” Victor’s dark voice sent shivers down every Assassin’s spine.
“Look.” She threw the Assassin towards Victor.
Victor grabbed the Assassin by the leg and lifted them into the air.
“M-Monster, I’m going to kill-…” He was going to say something, but Victor just ripped out his throat.
“Silence, Worm. Your voice makes me sick.” Victor didn’t want to hear bullshit right now.
He looked to the Assassins outfit, and soon he found what Scathach discovered:
“Was it this black ball?”
“Yes, it’s one of the many observation tools created by the witches… And those tools aren’t cheap…”
“Who sent you?” Victor’s voice left the Assassin paralyzed with fear, “Answer me.” He forced them to speak, but suddenly.
“Cough.” Suddenly an Assassin who was around Scathach began coughing up blood. He fell to the ground and began to convulse.
“You will not die without my permission.”
A cold air rushed out of Scathach’s body, and soon all the Assassins were frozen.
Looking at this, Victor said, “They tried to kill the Assassins, huh?”
“Yes, they used them as disposable parts, I froze these worms, they are not very strong, but they can serve as a punching bag for my daughters to get better.”
“…” Victor exhibited a gentle little smile when he saw that Scathach had decided to do something he’d said in the past.
Scathach walked towards an Assassin and cut off his head, “He appears to be the leader of the group, so he will tell us what we want to know.”
Victor nodded. He understood that he should use his power to force this vampire to speak, but he had a doubt:
“Do you take care of it, or do I take care of it?” He asked.
Scathach thought for a moment, and then she flashed a small seductive smile:
“We take care of it.”
“Oh? That sounds like a nice plan.” Victor’s smile grew.
The two smiled at each other and soon disappeared, leaving behind only frozen bodies.
Chapter 135: They provoked the wrong monsters.
“Ugh, master went out again, and didn’t take me…” Kaguya spoke with a slightly irritated face.
It was because of this attitude of Victor that Kaguya believed she should always keep an eye on him. She felt that every time she looked away for a bit, he’d disappear! He seemed like a lost child!
After using his Charm on the leader of the Assassins and discovering the enemies’ locations, Victor and Scathach left without saying anything to anyone.
“Tsk, these insects.” Kaguya looked around with eyes glowing blood red at the Assassins who had been frozen.
She was a little irritated and wanted to take her anger out on someone. Luckily there were some frozen punching bags nearby.
“Hmm… What happened, Kaguya?” Pepper appeared along with Siena and Lacus.
“… Intruders, but my master and Countess Scathatch have already taken care of them.” Kaguya returned to her neutral expression and spoke.
“… Fueee? Why didn’t I feel anything…?” Pepper looked very sleepy.
“They’re wearing outfits and gear enchanted by witches…” Siena moved closer to the ice structures and watched as she placed a hand on her chin.
“And they are high level, it must have cost a lot of money…” Lacus continued, she tapped lightly on the ice structure, and as if premeditated, the ice structure broke, and the Assassins’ body split in various strange directions.
“Oopsss…” She spoke with a not very apologetic face.
Shortly after, Violet, Ruby, and Sasha appeared.
“Darling seemed to be annoyed.” Violet spoke in a neutral tone, then she flashed a distorted smile, “Looks like a Clan is going to disappear today.”
“Yes. That is the obvious result of what’s going to happen. Everyone knows what happens when they invade Clan Scarlett’s territory. I wonder why they suddenly became bold.” Ruby thought out loud.
“Must be because my Darling has become a Count? And they’re wanting the title for themselves? But they know that’s not how the rules work…” Sasha spoke up.
“Yes, the rule is absolute. You must challenge the Count in a game… Maybe this attack has another purpose,” Ruby said.
“Hmm… I think it’s to test the new Count?” Siena spoke.
“What do you mean?” Ruby spoke.
“Something like that happened 500 years ago. A new noble Clan appeared, and some vampires sent someone to test the reaction of this new Clan… It’s quite common.” Siena spoke.
“So they are idiots. Even someone with 2 IQ can deduce what kind of personality my husband has just from the fight he had with Tatsuya and Einer.” Sasha spoke.
“Well, they want to test their luck, I guess?” Siena continued.
“…” The group began to think about the reason for the attack until Violet spoke.
“Ahhh, just forget it. It’s no use guessing the bugs’ thoughts, they’ll disappear soon anyway.” Violet spoke, and then she turned around, “I’m going to sleep.”
“…” The women looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders as if there was no choice.
“Violet is right, it’s no use thinking about it too much. Let’s go to sleep.” Ruby yawned a little.
“Yes, let’s go to bed,” Sasha spoke.
“Yeshh…Sleep…” Pepper walked back to her room.
“Luna, are you there?” Siena said.
“Yes.” Luna quickly appears beside Siena.
“Can you kill them all? My mom just froze them…”
“…I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
“Hmm? Why?”
“Countess Scathach never does anything useless. If she left them alive, it’s because she wants to use them for something…” Luna said.
“Oh, you’re right… So just gather everyone in a hole or something.”
“Yes.” Luna disappeared and went to carry out her orders.
“Let’s go back to sleep, Lacus.”
“Yes…” Lacus looked at Kaguya, “And you Kaguya?”
“I will wait for my master,” Kaguya spoke.
“If only Yuki had the same dedication as you…” Lacus chuckled when she thought of the maid who was sleeping like a rock.
“She is young,” Kaguya spoke and then disappeared into the shadows.
“You are too…” Lacus chuckled and then walked towards her room.
…
Clan Amon, named after a demon, was a Clan of noble vampires focused on murderous work, namely contract killings.
They’d kill anyone as long as someone presented an adequate reward. The reward in this case being anything that catches the attention of the leader of Clan Amon, who was a very skilled assassin.
They were the ones who sent the assassins to Scathach’s mansion.
And that Clan was now on fire.
“Hiiii! What is that!? What is this monster!?” Clan leader Amon screamed in fear as he watched a formless monster covered in fire walking towards him.
All around him was a sea of flame. Vampires were running for their lives, but the cocoon of fire around Clan Amon’s mansion prevented any vampires from leaving or entering.
And those who tried to pass through the cocoon only had one fate… Death.
Victor’s eyes glowed blood red, “You know… Normally, I’d like a good fight, or even have fun playing with you guys a little bit, but…” Despite his body on fire, his voice was so cold it sent shivers down Clan leader Amon’s spine.
“You are not worthy.”
Seeing the distorted smile on the man’s face, the Clan leader tried to negotiate:
“W-Wait, why are you doing this!? We’re just a clan of assassins, we’ve been hired!”
“And?”
“We have nothing to do with this! Count Alucard, someone else hired us to attack your house, we were just tools!”
“And?” Victor continued walking towards the man.
“Hiiii!” The man was terrified.
“We can provide information on our contractor!”
“No need, I already know everything. You were going to say that a man with a hood hired you, right?”
“Y-Yes…”
“And that this man offered a rare specimen of a monster that lives in the West, and you got interested in it. Because of that, you decided to accept the contract to try and kill me, right?” Every word Victor said, his image became more distorted by fire, and his monstrous smile grew.
Gulp.
The clan leader gulped and didn’t answer Victor’s question, but that didn’t matter in front of Victor.
“Answer me.” One look was enough to bend the man’s will.
“Yes…”
Victor stopped in front of the man.
The man knelt, seeing the image of Victor completely ablaze in front of him, his eyes opened wide:
“A monster…”
Victor’s sadistic smile only grew, and he pointed his palm at the man:
“Turn to Ashes.”
Fusshhhhhh
A barrage of fire shot out of Victor’s hand.
‘Ahhh… I shouldn’t have taken this job…’ These were the clan leader’s last thoughts.
Seeing that there was nothing left of the clan leader, Victor looked around at the remaining vampires.
When the vampires felt Victor’s gaze, they quickly began to speak.
“Count Alucard, please, we didn’t do anything! It was all orders from the former leader!”
“Yes, Yes! We didn’t want to face you!”
“It was all a plan by the former leader. He was the one who accepted the contract, we are innocent.”
The vampires began to put all the blame on the leader and tried to save themselves.
Seeing this pathetic display, Victor’s mood only worsened again.
“Silence.” Victor’s voice silenced all the vampires.
“…?” The vampires started to feel the temperature around them increasing, and they also found they couldn’t speak!
He took a deep breath and slowly let the air out of his lungs, visualizing an image in his mind. He visualized his entire surroundings on fire like he was inside a sun, then he said:
“…All creation turns to ashes.”
Suddenly, everything around Victor lit up with fire, and that fire slowly began to expand and reduce everything around him to ash.
“!!!” The vampires ran for their lives and tried to escape, but it was useless as they soon ran into a wall of fire.
They looked back, and seeing that wave of fire approaching, they internally cursed their leader for bringing this monster to their door.
When Victor’s power turned everything to ash, a silence fell over the area.
“Finally, a bit of silence,” Victor spoke as he looked around and saw that all the structures and the corpses of the vampires turned to ash. He noticed that the ground had also turned black as if it were burnt, and he waved the flames away, dispelling them, extremely satisfied when he realized that he managed to control his attack even though it was the first time he had tried to do something like that.
He was satisfied that he didn’t blast everything as usual. After all, this area can be used later by the king, right? He is doing his job as a Count!
If the king heard that, he would say something like, “Do you think a Count’s job is to eliminate an entire clan and create plains with their powers?”
Though Victor probably wouldn’t mind what the king said.
“HmmmHmmm. I learned something new today. As expected, by visualizing what I want to do in my head, it’s much easier when doing large scale attacks. Living and learning~.”
Suddenly Victor stopped walking. The primary upload of this chapter happened on N0v3l–B1n.
“Heh~…” Victor looked up, his eyes glowing blood red, and soon his world became shades of red.
Like a telescope’s zoom, his vision rose to the sky, and he found an animal that was bathed in black energy.
This was the first time he saw this type of energy in beings.
Rumble, Rumble.
Victor’s body was spontaneously covered in lightning, and at a speed faster than a blink of an eye, he was in front of the black owl, grabbing it by the head.
The owl started to thrash around, but Victor didn’t care. He just stared steadily into the owl’s eyes.
Having heard about the observation tools the witches created, Victor knew the enemy was looking through that owl’s eyes.
“I don’t know who you are… I don’t care either…” slowly, the skin on Victor’s face began to disappear, “But you’d better hide… Because the moment I find you. ..”
Victor’s face seemed to have lost its shape, and only a black outline with red eyes and sharp teeth was seen, sporting a distorted smile for the owl.
“I will devour you.”
Victor’s mouth had grown disproportionately to his body, and then, he swallowed the whole owl.
“Hmm~, it tastes like bread and cheese… I’ll catch more of these owls and eat them if I come across them~.”
“I must go back to Scathach, she must be finished too.” After completely getting rid of what was bothering him, Victor felt much lighter.
