Chapter 191: What is your desire?
Three months ago, around the time Victor was training with Scathach.
In Sasha’s personal bedroom.
Sasha looked at the blonde-haired maid.
“Where are the girls? The mansion seems very silent today.”
“Lady Ruby is out somewhere, Lady Lacus is sleeping, Lady Pepper is watching anime, and Lady Siena is working.” Maria replied in a neutral tone.
“I see…” Hearing what she wanted to know, Sasha was silent.
“…” As Sasha didn’t ask any more, Maria was also silent as she waited for any possible order from Sasha.
Sasha looked at Maria out of the corner of her eye and flashed a gentle little smile.
Although it seemed like an odd situation, for Sasha, it wasn’t. For Sasha, the maid’s silent company was…
…
“What do you think? It’s perfect, right?” Victor’s smile and words could frighten any weak soul, but not his wife.
Sasha woke up from her memories, as she looked at Victor in a daze for a few seconds, and nodded:
“Yes… It’s perfect… Yes… It’s perfect…” She repeated it twice, and then she looked at Maria with a cold smile, though anyone who knew Sasha well would know that that smile wasn’t real.
Suddenly, Victor’s smile died, he looked at his wife carefully, and a neutral expression appeared on his face.
Sigh…
He visibly sighed, his face returning back to normal:
“Sasha, you’re too soft… You’re too kind.” He displayed a gentle smile.
“Huh…?” Sasha looked at Victor, not understanding anything he was talking about.
“No need to lie to yourself.” Victor looked deep into Sasha’s eyes:
“You hate Maria, you really want her to suffer, but you don’t want to lose her because you don’t want to feel lonely, right?”
“…W-What are you talking about…?” Sasha’s voice visibly shook.
Sigh…
“I’m sorry, I should have thought of you more on this subject.” Victor made a mistake in thinking this was his revenge, but it wasn’t. This was his wife’s revenge.
She must decide their fate.
He didn’t want to make the same mistake again, the mistake of attacking Sasha’s father and mother, since, even though Sasha said she didn’t care, Victor knew what he did was wrong.
One wrong move and he could’ve caused irreversible damage to his relationship with Sasha.
Dealing with family was very complicated, especially when the issue at hand involved someone close to his wife, like a father or mother.
Although this situation was different from the previous situation, it still applied in the mentioned context.
Victor didn’t want to be a tyrant to his family.
“Again, what are you talking about!?” Sasha yelled.
Victor looked seriously at Sasha, and it was a seriousness that scared Sasha. Somehow Sasha was more scared by Victor’s serious face than his scary ‘face’.
“Do not lie to me.” His voice sent shivers down Sasha’s spine.
Gulp.
Sasha gulped when she sensed Victor’s mood; he was irritated with her.
“And most importantly…” Slowly, Victor’s gaze became gentler, “Don’t lie to yourself.”
“…” Sasha opened her eyes wide.
“Revenge shouldn’t be half-assed, you should be completely satisfied with what you want to do so that you don’t regret it in the future.” Victor’s eyes slightly glowed a blood red:
“Now…”
“Tell me, my wife. What’s your desire?”
“… I-…”
“Answer me honestly.”
“…” Sasha stared into Victor’s red eyes for a while, and then she looked at Maria, who was about to be finished by Carlos, and said:
“I hate Maria, I really want her dead… But at the same time, I don’t want to be alone…”
“When you go somewhere, when the girls go out somewhere, I always feel lonely, but… at least Maria was there…”
“I want her dead, I want her to suffer, but at the same time, I don’t want her to die.” She wasn’t making any sense anymore, and why was she repeating the same thing twice?
But she was just saying what she felt. She wanted the woman dead, but at the same time, without realizing it, over time, she began to enjoy the woman’s silent company.
Though she sometimes didn’t say anything, just being there gave Sasha a little comfort when Victor or the girls weren’t present.
And this kind of situation was quite frequent when Victor was training, since, for Sasha, the six months felt like they passed quite slowly for her, maybe because she was worried?
But in some weird way, those six months were bearable because she had Maria’s silent company when Ruby and the girls weren’t around.
In the end…
She was just a girl who didn’t want to miss something again, and without realizing it, she ended up considering Maria as that something.
“Why are emotions so complicated? Why can’t I just be like you and let her die with a smile on her face? Why!?” Though she spoke in a cold voice, the emotions implied in her words were anything but cold.
She was confused about what to do.
“…” It was at these times that Victor wished he had a dictionary, perhaps an entire bookstore of books to learn about women.
Sigh…
Victor sighed again, and soon he displayed a loving smile:
“Are you silly?”
“Huh…?”
“You don’t have to be like me, I want you to be yourself, I fell in love with you, your soft way, your gentle way, your noble way, although I didn’t see much of your noble side. After all, you’re surrounded by a bunch of crazy people. Hahaha~.” He chuckled lightly at the end.
“…Oh…” She flashed a small smile, and her cheeks turned a little red. She didn’t expect this surprise attack.
“Well…” Victor patted Sasha’s head a little.
“…” Sasha looked at Victor’s gentle smile with loving eyes.
“I would be a terrible husband if I didn’t fulfill my wife’s wishes.” Victor looked at Maria, “And being a terrible husband is the last thing I want to be…”
…
“Goodbye, Demon.” Carlos held Maria with his right hand, which was completely covered in black energy.
Fushhhhhhh
A golden power began to come out of Carlos’ left arm, an oppressive power that, at the same time, was a gentle power.
Maria closed her eyes and thought; ‘Although it was a painful life… Despite the difficulties I went through… This was a good life… I hope that God has mercy on my soul and doesn’t throw me in hell…’
A small memory began to pop into her head.
“…Maria, how do you feel today?” Sasha asked
“Horrible.”
“That is good.” She displayed a small smile.
“Let’s go now. My husband is coming out of his training.”
‘Hahaha… why is this the memory that appears when I’m about to die?’ She couldn’t understand herself sometimes.
“Die!” Carlos attacked Maria with all his strength.
But before Carlos’ punch could reach Maria, everyone heard a crackle of lightning.
“You really are lucky, maid.”
“!!?” Carlos quickly turned around, but all he could see was a leg covered in lightning coming towards him.
Time suddenly seemed to stop for Maria, and she looked up into Victor’s neutral face with eyes wide in surprise.
“Wha-.” She couldn’t finish what she wanted to say because a loud blast of lightning interrupted her.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Carlos let go of Maria and flew towards the sky.
Victor caught Maria with his left arm as he was coming at high speed, and, since he couldn’t stop in time, he froze the grass under him and using the terrain as if it was a ski slope, he started to spin while holding the woman on his arm.
Managing to adjust his center of gravity, Victor stopped skiing and pointed the finger of his right arm at Carlos.
“Winning my wife’s soft heart is quite an achievement.”
Rumble, Rumble, Rumble!
Lightning started to focus on Victor’s finger, as he aimed his finger like it was a high-caliber rifle, and when Carlos was in the crosshairs, he said:
“Bullseye.”
BOOOOOOOM!
A massive beam of lightning left Victor’s finger and flew toward Carlos.
“!!!” Carlos set his center of gravity in the air, and using the dark power of his right arm, he grabbed hold of Victor’s lightning bolt, and as if he were using some kind of martial arts, he deflected Victor’s power back to him!
“ORYAAA!”
“Oh?” Victor’s smile widens.
“…” Maria kept looking at Victor with her mouth open in shock, the only thing going through her head was, ‘why didn’t he let me die?’
But when she remembered the words Victor spoke, she opened her eyes a little wider:
‘Is it because of my Master?’
Victor stepped lightly on the ground, and soon a pillar of ice was created towards the sky!
Victor’s lightning struck the pillar, and a huge explosion happened, but nothing happened to the ice pillar.
Carlos, who was falling towards the ground at high speed, continued to look at Victor.
Suddenly, dark power covered Carlos’ body, and he disappeared.
And in less than a few seconds, he appeared in the air a little far from Victor:
“Alucard, don’t get involved, this is none of your business.” He spoke in an ordering tone…
Victor looked at the dark power on Carlos’ arm that had turned into a black wing, and then looked at Carlos,
“Mongrel.”
“Know your place.”
Fushhh, Fushhh, Fushhh, Fushhh
Various ice weapons covered with fire and lightning, such as spears, swords, and axes, began to be created behind Victor.
Victor pointed to Carlos and said, “I do what I want, whenever I want, and wherever I want. It’s not a dog like you that’s going to stop me from doing my bidding.”
Soon all the weapons he created flew towards Carlos.
BOOOOM, BOOOOM, BOOOOM, BOOOOM!
Small sonic explosions happened every time a weapon was thrown in Carlos’ direction.
“I see…” Carlos’ eyes glowed blood red, and he assumed a martial arts stance.
“In that case, I must force you to withdraw.” Then, with a movement invisible to human eyes, Carlos punched the air.
With only the pressure created by his punch, Carlos destroyed all of Victor’s attacks since he was clearly on another level!
And knowing that his opponent was stronger than he expected, a gigantic smile grew on Victor’s face.
Victor looked at Maria with a slightly annoyed face, “You’re in the way.”
“Eh? Wha-.” Before Maria could say anything, Victor looked down towards the ground in a faraway spot, and when he found whoever he was looking for, he threw Maria in that direction.
“WHAT THE FUCK!”
Suddenly, Maria found herself in Sasha’s arms.
“M-Master…?” Maria was no longer understanding what was happening.
Sasha ignored Maria and said, “Ruby, so far, I don’t see any signs of other hunters.”
“This is weird…” Ruby spoke into the communicator.
“And in the end, what was it that Darling wanted to do?” Violet asked.
“I’ll explain later.” Sasha cut the subject.
“…Fine.” Violet spoke.
“What should we do?” Luna asked.
“Wait.” Ruby replied.
“I very much doubt they would throw a commander of Carlos’ power away like he was trash. There’s some catch to this whole situation, you guys should be on your toes.” Ruby explained.
“Yes.” All agreed.
“Sasha, go back to the safe house with Maria, leave the rest to Darling.” Ruby spoke.
“But…-” Sasha wanted to protest, but soon she heard Violet’s voice.
“What Darling hates the most is when someone meddles in his fight, let him do what he wants,” Violet explained.
“…Yes.” Sasha picked up Maria’s body like a sack of potatoes and disappeared from where she was previously.
…
“It’s started.”
A man sitting in a lab looked at the monitors on the television, and on those monitors, he could see Victor and Carlos fighting.
“As expected, Count Alucard is a special vampire, even among noble vampires. Three powers of the Vampire Count Households, and more unknown powers… He’s really a strange existence.” The man spoke in an emotionless voice.
“Is this alright?” Suddenly the man heard a woman’s voice.
“Hmm?”
“If this continues, Commander Carlos will die. He’s using his power too much, his body isn’t stable yet.”
“It’s okay, that’s what he wants, and despite being a specimen with incredible willpower… In the end, he’s still a failure.”
“He couldn’t become perfect.” He spoke in a voice that held great sadness.
“…” The woman was silent.
“He’s not like you, unlike them, you’re perfect, right, S-000?”
“Whatever, just don’t make me clean up the mess again, I need to watch my K-drama.” The woman turned and walked away.
“…” The man squinted his eyes a little. Why are his ‘disciples’ so strange?
Suddenly, she stopped walking, seemingly remembering something. She turned around and said:
“Do something about the A-000, he’s starting to act very independently. That’s not a good thing.”
“Oh?” The man seemed to become even more interested:
“What’s he doing?”
“He is actively looking for the person responsible for the previous incident. If this continues, he will find out that it was the daughter of that crimson demon who did this, and he will definitely do something harmful.”
“…” Though still cold-faced, a small drop of sweat fell from the man’s face when he heard the woman mention the crimson demon, and if it’s a demon, he only knows one.
“Scathach…”
“I will speak to him.” It is not yet time to provoke that demon.
“Thanks.” Her voice came out a little livelier than usual. Now she didn’t need to work anymore!
The woman turned again to walk away but was spoken to again.
“And… Don’t use your power for useless things.”
“… What are you talking about?”
“Don’t treat me like a fool. You only managed to discover this information because you used your power. Scathach’s daughter’s plan was very well orchestrated and hidden, you wouldn’t be able to discover it in a normal way.”
“…” The woman was silent.
“This time, I’ll let it go, but there won’t be a next time.”
“Yes… General.”
“Good, now go watch anything you would watch.”
“It’s K-drama…” The woman seemed to pout.
“Whatever.”
Chapter 192: The power of Alucard.
When Victor threw Maria to his wife, he said,
“Now that the hassle is gone.” Victor cracked his neck a little as he looked at Carlos with his eyes glowing blood red.
“Let’s continue!”
“Alucard, you’re overestimating yourself-,” Carlos was about to say something, but he was interrupted by a punch so hard it made him fly into the sky.
“Wha-,” The man quickly tried to fix his center of gravity in midair.
Rumble, Rumble.
“What were you saying?” He heard someone’s voice behind him.
When Carlos would try to turn his face in the direction of the voice, he felt a punch in his ribs and rapidly flew up again, and before he could do anything.
Victor appeared beside him and attacked him.
‘Ugh… He’s too fast!’ Carlos couldn’t react to Victor’s speed.
This same attack was repeated, over and over, and Victor looked like a golden beam of light attacking Carlos!
“Let’s increase the speed!” Victor yelled with a big smile on his face!
He disappeared again, leaving lightning trails in the air, and began attacking Carlos in all parts of his body.
“AHHHHHHHH!”
Heads, legs, knees, ears, eyes, dick, Victor attacked Carlos’s entire body with such force that the man’s body began to break.
The man was being bathed in his own blood! And he couldn’t do anything!
“Enough-.” When Carlos was about to say or do something, Victor suddenly appeared in front of him and grabbed him by the neck.
“Tell me, have you ever tried getting punched at Mach 10?”
“H-Huh…?”
Not letting Carlos have time to think, Victor froze Carlos’ body and threw him upward.
‘I can’t move!’ Carlos started to struggle like a pig. He felt frustrated! He just couldn’t react!
He didn’t specialize in aerial fighting! He’s another ground fighter!
“Ready…” Victor assumed a position like he was about to run an Olympic 100m sprint!
Rumble, Rumble!
Lightning began to cover Victor’s body, and slowly Victor’s red eyes began to turn a golden tinge.
“What is my Darling doing?” Sasha asked as she looked up at the sky.
“Hmm… Don’t tell me…” Ruby opened her eyes wide when she saw Victor’s running position, “Since when can he do this?”
“Do what?” Violet asked.
“Maria, are you alright?” Luna asked.
“Y-Yes…” She spoke in a difficult voice.
“…No, you’re not fine. Lady Sasha, can you do something?”
“Hmm? Oh, I forgot.” Sasha approached Maria and presented her wrist to the woman to bite
Suddenly, everyone heard a thunderclap so loud they had to cover their ears.
RUMBLE, RUMBLE!
Victor’s body was covered with lightning, while the lightning seemed much denser and stronger than before.
“GO!”
BOOOOOM! BOOOOOM! BOOOOOM!
Victor flew into the sky like a golden rocket towards Carlos, and halfway through, everyone heard three sonic booms.
“That’s not enough! Faster!”
This time the sound was much louder than before.
BOOOOOOM!
“MORE!”
BOOOOOOM!
Victor clenched his fist, he covered his fist with the power of ice, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Carlos.
Carlos’s perception began to slow, and he looked into Victor’s red, golden-tinted eyes with fear visible in his eyes:
‘I will die! I will die! I will die!’
That’s what he thought, but the moment he thought it, a dissatisfaction rose inside him:
‘I do not want to die!’ Slowly a dark power in his arm began to grow.
“OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”
Victor’s fist connected with Carlos’ chest, and a massive explosion ensued.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
The air pressure spread, and all the clouds in the sky disappeared, and the result of the attack on Carlos’ body was…
Every part of Carlos’ chest disappeared from existence.
“This is fucking bullshit.” Luna couldn’t help but say when she saw what Victor did.
“You get used to it…” Violet and Ruby spoke at the same time.
“…” Luna wanted to scream. He’s never done that before, you know!? Why aren’t you guys reacting!?
Well, the wives just had the thought, if it’s Victor who did it, then it’s normal.
They were tired of reacting to anything he did.
“What did Darling do?” Sasha asked in curiosity because she couldn’t see what had happened since she was feeding Maria her blood.
“He punched someone at a speed of Mach around 10,” Ruby spoke in a dry tone. She didn’t know exactly what speed he had achieved, but just from the sonic booms, she knew it was around what she’d guessed.
“…Huh?” Sasha thought she went deaf all of a sudden. Did she just say that Victor punched someone at a speed of Mach 10?
What is he? Not even her family can do that!
That is a fucking bullshit!
Suddenly everyone heard:
“HAHAHAHA~.” Victor chuckled in amusement. He enjoyed doing this; he must do this more often!
Cough!
Victor coughed blood, then, as he looked at his blood, “Oh? I suffered damage… Well, it’s to be expected, I hit that speed, and I suddenly stopped in mid-air. That kind of action must have a consequence.”
He also felt his fist, and his whole body was aching a little, but…
Victor didn’t care too much, considering that, in less than a few seconds, all the damage he suffered was healed.
Victor looked at Carlos’ flying body.
“What are you waiting for? Wake up!” Victor yelled with an annoyed face, “The fun isn’t over!”
“Fucker!” The dark power in Carlos’ right arm began to grow and soon covered his entire body.
He positioned himself in midair and looked at Victor, a hint of fear creeping across Carlos’ face when he saw Victor’s smile, but he ignored it as if it were an illusion and then threw a gigantic black beam of power in Victor’s direction.
Victor looked at the black power beam with a bored look:
“Too slow.”
Rumble, Rumble.
Victor’s body was soon covered by lightning again.
And he disappeared, leaving behind a golden trail.
“Tsk.” Carlos clicked his tongue in annoyance when he saw that Victor easily dodged his power, as the power that was covering his body disappeared, and the power of his arm created a black wing that looked like an angel’s wing.
“Oh…? That black power speeds up your regeneration, huh.” Victor spoke a little away from Carlos as he looked at his back.
Carlos quickly turned and looked for Victor, but he found nothing.
“Where are you!? Stop hiding like a coward!” He growled angrily.
Victor appears in front of Carlos, “Hahaha~” He laughed lightly as if listening to a funny joke, “Hiding? Me? Looks like the punch I gave you earlier made you stupid.”
A vein popped in Carlos’ head:
“Fuck off!”
Carlos quickly closed his golden fist and attacked Victor!
An immense wind pressure rushed towards Victor, and that wind seemed to carry a slightly golden color with it.
Victor looked at the air pressure coming towards him with a neutral gaze:
“I’ll show you the difference between us.” The magic circle of Victor’s glove began to glow like crazy as hot air started coming out of Victor’s body.
Victor breathed in a little and exhaled, allowing a small puff of flames came out of his mouth. He then closed his eyes and concentrated on his power:
When the wind pressure reached in front of Victor, he opened his eyes which were glowing blood-red:
Suddenly.
FUSHHHHHHHHHHHHH
A gigantic fireball was created.
“…W-What-.”
Air pressure hit the fireball, but nothing happened.
Victor lifted the fireball up and looked at Carlos with his red eyes glowing.
Gulp.
Carlos gulped as he looked at the fireball and felt an instinctive fear of that power.
“Don’t lose focus, don’t bite your tongue, don’t despair, the fight has just begun.”
With every word Victor spoke, the fireball grew and grew.
“…” Carlos’ spine trembled as the fireball increased in size
And soon, Victor looked like he was holding a sun.
“Don’t disappoint me like others of your kind, Mongrel.”
A feeling of fear covered Carlos’ entire body, and he yelled,
“Monster!! What are you?! How can you use that kind of power and not feel anything?”
“I’m built different, Mongrel.”
“…H-Huh?”
“… He’s overreacting…” Luna spoke with a lifeless look.
“Yeah, he’s overreacting…” Violet spoke with the same look.
“…Yes.” Ruby just nodded while having the same look on her face.
Punching others at Mach 10 speed is okay, but creating a gigantic fireball is a big ‘NOOO!’
Imagine the damage this will do if it falls to the ground!?
Gulp, Gulp.
The three look at the source of the noise and see Sasha giving her blood to Maria.
“The wounds are taking a while to heal, huh,” Ruby spoke as she looked at Maria’s burned body.
“Yes, but she’s more stable now.”
“The power of hunters is very dangerous for Ghouls. The only reason for a ghoul to have survived is because it is stronger than normal.” Sasha said:
“If this keeps up, it’s going to take years for her to get back to normal…” Sasha’s eyes narrowed a little.
“Take it.” Ruby threw something at Sasha.
Sasha raised her hand and caught the item, “A vial of blood?”
“It’s not just any blood, it’s our husband’s blood.”
“…I don’t want to give her Darling’s blood,” Sasha spoke.
“Don’t worry, the effect will be a little better than normal blood. After all, she’s not drinking straight from the source.” Ruby spoke in a neutral tone.
“…You seem pretty sure of what you’re talking about.”
“Of course I am.” Ruby flashed a sly smile.
“…Don’t use our husband’s blood in your experiments, Ruby,” Sasha spoke.
Ruby’s eyes grew cold, “…Do you trust me so little? I experimented on myself, I did two tests, I drank my husband’s blood straight from the source, and I drank his blood from a vial.”
“The result? The blood in the bottle is much weaker for some reason. The blood doesn’t give the same nutrients and power, unlike drinking straight from the source. Don’t you remember telling us about this in the past?”
“…” Sasha was silent while she thought a little about the past and remembered that this happened when she was coming to the vampire world with Ruby. A look of recognition appeared on Sasha’s face.
“Satisfied? Now, just give the damn blood to your Maid.” Ruby turned her face away.
“I’m sorry Ruby…” She spoke in a gentler voice, “I just don’t like it when people use some part of my husband’s body in an experiment.”
Ruby looked at Sasha with the same cold gaze, “I’m not just anyone, Sasha. I’m his wife.”
“…” Sasha was silent again.
Ruby’s eyes began to go lifeless, looking like endless darkness, “And just like you, I don’t like it either. Because of that, I must know everything about my Darling, everything about his body, I must know everything about anything related to his blood so that in the future, something like these Mongrels won’t be born using my husband’s blood as an experiment. ”
“That’s a good thought…” Sasha spoke up.
“Right? Now, do your thing.” Ruby turns her face away.
“Yes.”
“…” Violet, who was watching all this, just displayed a small satisfied smile. She decided not to interfere because she knew that the girls, despite having disagreements and arguments once in a while, will reconcile quickly. After all, they’ve known each other for a long time.
Soon she heard Victor’s voice:
“Burn.” Victor threw the massive sun-like fireball towards Carlos, while this fireball seemed to be much bigger than the one before!
Violet looked at Victor with loving eyes; ‘he is so amazing~. Oops, I can’t, if this keeps up, I’m going to get wet. Focus, Focus.’ She patted her face lightly.
She always liked it when Victor used her power, and unconsciously, she felt that way.
“Are you crazy!? Are you trying to erase this city from the map!?”
“HAHAHAHA~!”
His crazy laugh told Carlos everything he needed to know.
“Tsk.” Carlos glanced at the mansion for a few seconds, and seeing that the power was going towards the mansion, he got even angrier.
Carlos’ eyes began to glow blood red, and at the same time, the power of his golden fist began to grow.
“Haziel! My guardian angel, protect me-.”
Rumble!
“Tsk, Tsk.”
Victor appeared beside Carlos, and he tapped him on the shoulder and looked at Carlos like he’s an old friend.
“Why are you going to defend yourself? Just take the attack like a good boy.”
“Eh-…?”
Victor covered his fist with ice and attacked Carlos’ stomach.
BOOOOOOOOOOOM!
“Cough!” Carlos spat blood from his mouth.
And then he flew towards the mansion, where the roof was destroyed and fell to the ground.
Victor looked at the fireball and displayed a small smile, and soon he disappeared, leaving behind lightning trails.
Victor appeared in the air and looked at his attack that was getting close to the mansion.
Suddenly.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
“Ahhhh~, it’s so beautiful. Can’t this be considered a work of art?”
“HAHAHAHAHA~” Victor chuckled as he clapped his hands, while he felt he was acquiring a taste for destruction.
193 Chapter 193: The power of Alucard. 2
“Ahhhh~, it’s so beautiful. Can’t this be considered a work of art?”
“HAHAHAHAHA~”
“…This monster is not even taking the fight seriously.” James squinted a little as he stared at the monitor.
“Of course not.” The woman walked to General James’ side as she looked at the monitor with a neutral gaze.
“…?” James looked at the woman, “Didn’t you leave to go watch that thing?”
“It’s K-drama.” The woman repeated again.
“…” James had a face that said, ‘I don’t care.’
“And yes, I would go watch my ‘K-DRAMA’ but… This is more interesting.” She highlighted the word so the man could remember the next time.
“Alucard is a literal monster, that’s not enough to make him fight seriously.” The woman seemed to rate Victor very highly.
“I know that. He’s the fusion of the powers of Clan Scarlett, Fulger, and Snow. Of course, he would be strong.”
“…” The woman looked at her boss like he was an idiot:
“That’s not what I’m talking about.”
“…?” James didn’t understand for a few seconds what the woman was implying.
“…I’m talking about his mentality, you can give an ordinary man the power to defeat God. But, if he doesn’t have determination or willpower enough to learn to control his powers, or if he doesn’t have the mentality of going into battle prepared to die, he will become useless.”
“No matter how talented you are, no matter what kind of power you have, if your mindset isn’t right, you won’t be able to use that power properly.”
“Oh…” James now understood what the woman had been implying earlier.
“Alucard already had a few screws loose in his head even before he became a vampire, and when he became a vampire, that subsection of his personality grew stronger, he joined the useful with the pleasant and became a monster.”
“… And to make matters worse, he found that woman.”
“Yes, fate is a bitch sometimes, it even seems that she wanted Alucard to be born as an irregularity…”
“Oh.” The woman opened her eyes wide.
“You seem to have thought of something, tell me.” James’ eyes twitched a little.
“It’s just a silly thought…” The woman narrowed her eyes a little, and she looked at James, “I just thought: what if that was true?”
“What?”
“Alucard was born to be a symbol of change? Something like a generational change.”
“…That’s ridiculous… Vlad is a much bigger monster than he is. They can’t be compared.”
“I very much doubt that that man would give up on everything he’s accomplished to some stranger.”
“Yes, that’s why I said it was a silly thought.”
“…” A silence fell around the room, and the only thing that could be heard was Victor’s laughter.
“Well, whether he’s a symbol of change or not doesn’t matter.” General James looked at Victor with a calculating look.
“Let’s start phase two.” James approached a keyboard and hit the ‘Enter’ key.
Soon a visible change began to take place on the monitor.
Victor stopped laughing and looked at the mansion with a serious look:
“Oh, he noticed, huh? As expected, we shouldn’t underestimate the senses of a vampire, especially of an irregularity like him.”
“…Are you really going to waste so many resources just to know the limit of this monster?” The woman spoke as she stared at the monitor screen.
And on the monitor screen, she could see the appearance of 3 men, and the strange thing about these men was that they looked the same. They were like triplets, black hair, and blood-red eyes, all of them around 180 cm tall. :
‘A-010, A-011, A-012… Is he sending three A-level experiments just to fight him? This is such a waste!’
“Yes, we must assess and understand Alucard’s strength, this is for the good of the Pope’s plan.”
‘That’s not enough…’ She was going to say it out loud, but she knew the general wouldn’t listen to her, so, because of that, she just kept silent.
When she heard about the Pope’s part.
The woman squinted her eyes a little:
“…I wonder if the Pope agrees for you to use humans in experiments.”
“Hahahaha~.” James chuckled playfully.
“…” The woman opened her eyes a little since she had never seen this man laugh before.
“My dear, S-000. The pope is not as holy as you think. You don’t live 1900 years without getting your hands dirty, he even allowed what happened to you to come true.”
“…” The woman was silent and thought it made sense.
She squinted her eyes a little: ‘As expected, everyone is rotten…’ She had little hope that the Pope didn’t know what was going on, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
“We must use whatever is necessary to defeat the evil of mankind… Vampires must be eliminated.” He spoke in a voice that was lifeless, but one that held unshakable determination:
‘Especially that monster, he definitely won’t forgive you.’
19:39
“…” James looked at S-000’s back with a neutral gaze, and seemed to be thinking of something, then “And to fulfill that reality, I don’t mind getting my hands dirty. After all, I know I will be forgiven… God is on my side.” The man’s black eyes seemed to glow gold for a few seconds.
“…” The woman turned, and as she walked towards the exit, she said,
“God can forgive him… But people definitely won’t…”
‘Especially that monster, he definitely won’t forgive you.’
“…” James looked at S-000’s back with a neutral gaze, and seemed to be thinking of something, then he looked at the monitor.
…
“Target acquired.” An emotionless voice was heard while he was looking at a man in midair.
“As we always do… As per the general’s wishes, we will eliminate the threat.” A neutral voice was heard.
“Let’s go!!!” This time it was an excited voice.
“Start process…” The emotionless voice spoke.
Rapidly a giant golden circle appeared on the ground.
Fushhhhhhhhhhhhhh
A suffocating pressure began to fall around him.
“…” Everyone in the distance could feel this pressure.
“… They are here,” Ruby spoke in a cold voice when she felt the pressure.
Feeling the pressure of the new enemies, Sasha seemed to understand something:
“…This was not a trap for me…”
“Yes, it was a trap for Lord Victor,” Luna replied.
“His goal is…?” Maria, who was a little better, spoke in a difficult voice.
“Discover the limits of my Darling. Most likely.” Violet spoke with an annoyed face.
“Let’s move. The mansion has been destroyed, but something useful can be found underground, and we must make sure Carlos is dead.” Ruby said. She still remembered what Victor said about there being a ‘darkness’ under the mansion.
Ruby didn’t need to think long to understand that something was being hidden in the mansion, and as a result, she thought it was underground.
“There’s no way a vampire could survive that explosion…” Violet spoke with a face of disdain.
“He is not a vampire, he is a hybrid who can use the power of hunters,” Ruby spoke in a cold tone as she stared at the burning mansion.
“…” Violet was silent.
Ruby looked at Violet and said, “We should make sure he’s dead.”
“What are we supposed to do if he’s alive?” Violet asked.
“What a silly question…” Sasha flashed a big smile.
“We must kill him.”
“…” Maria didn’t even show a reaction when she heard about Carlos’ possible death, she didn’t care anymore, something inside her broke when that man tried to kill her…
All she felt now was… Hate!
And more importantly…
She was hungry!
‘I will eat it!’ This time, she didn’t hold back her instincts.
“Let’s move.” Ruby turned and took the lead as usual.
“What about Lord Victor?” Luna couldn’t help but ask.
“…You know him, don’t disturb him…But keep an eye on him. I think it’s very unlikely that this will happen, but if Darling loses, we should rescue him.”
“Darling lose…?” Violet wore a face of disdain. For her, that was impossible.
“I know what you’re implying, but remember, in his base form, he has the power of an adult vampire, and when he uses the transformation of our clans, his power increases to a 1000 year old vampire, but… There are forces out there that can easily handle that kind of vampire.”
“…What about his other transformation?”
“He shouldn’t use that, you remember, right?”
“Yes…” Violet clearly remembered the consequences of using the blood count transformation.
“Although…” Ruby looked toward something:
“I doubt hunters have that kind of being at their disposal.” Aside from the generals and the Pope, Ruby had doubts if the hunters had enough manpower to waste someone who could defeat a 1000-year-old vampire so easily.
“But we must not underestimate them.” Sasha was the one who spoke this time while she squatted down a little and picked up Maria like a sack of potatoes.
“Indeed.” Ruby nodded in agreement with Sasha’s words.
“Let’s go ahead.”
“Yes!”
Soon all the women disappeared from where they were.
…
“Interesting, interesting indeed.” Victor displayed a big smile as he looked at the Triplets.
‘This was all very timed, the moment the attack I delivered exploded, these individuals appeared.’ Victor looked around with his eyes and thought, ‘I’m being watched, huh?’
‘Where are you…’ Victor started looking for possible cameras or observation techniques, but he couldn’t find anything visible.
“Process complete.”
Victor stopped looking around and looked at the triplets.
“We are sinners. Even though we are sinners, we are given the privilege of being God’s tools.” The triplets’ eyes began to glow blood red, and the golden circle seemed to have diminished, and several weird runes began to appear.
Hearing what the three were saying at the same time, Victor understood something:
“An enchantment…” He knew very well what the triplets were doing.
Victor’s smile grew, and he stopped caring about the cameras and floated towards the ground.
“Very well… You have my attention.”
The moment Victor got his foot on the ground, all the ground around him turned to pure ice.
“Mongrels, don’t disappoint me.”
“And God once ordained.” The three continued to talk.
Crack, Crack.
Sounds of broken bones could be heard, and soon,
Fushhhhhhhh
Bat wings burst out of the triplets’ backs.
The twins’ teeth became sharper, their skin became paler with a purple tinge, they looked like a demon that came out of the seventh hell.
“Oh?” Victor’s interest grew more and more.
“Eliminate the evil from humanity.”
A dark power came out of the triplets’ bodies, and in less than a few seconds, their appearance completely changed.
They were a little taller, their feet and hands turned into sharp claws, their skin took on a dark purple tinge, and their eyes were completely red.
“Like your tools, we said: so be it.”
Clap, Clap, Clap.
Victor started clapping like he was watching a light show.
“Very good, very good indeed.”
“Tell me your agent’s name. I will hire you for my wedding, I don’t care how much I have to pay.”
“Just say the number!”
“…” The three were silent since they weren’t expecting this reaction from Victor.
Despite playing with them, Victor was analyzing the beings in front of him:
‘They are closer to vampires than their old opponents, I wonder how they are different.’
“Target is distracted; initiate elimination.” Suddenly one of the brothers appeared behind Victor.
Victor’s smile grew widely, “You’re too slow.”
With minimal effort, he dodged the triplet’s grip.
“But to give you a little credit, you’re better than the man I fought earlier.”
The creature’s eyes began to glow blood red, and it looked like it was trying to use something:
“Oh? You have the Charm too.” Victor immediately realized what the creature was trying to do.
Fushhhhhhh.
A golden flame flew toward Victor.
Victor looked into the flame, as his eyes glowed a little blood red, and then.
A wall of ice is created in front of him.
The flame hit the wall of ice, and the explosion Victor had been hoping for didn’t happen. The flame just snuffed out of existence.
“Interestingly, the flame does not have a normal property.”
Victor looked up and saw another triplet:
His bat wings seemed to grow, and then.
He disappeared…?
“Hmm…” Victor didn’t understand what had happened.
Suddenly, he felt a cut on his stomach.
“Oh?” He looked down at his stomach with curious eyes and realized that he suddenly found himself in a red world.
“An illusion…”
“In this world, I am-.” Before the triplet could say anything.
Victor grabbed his own head and broke his own neck, and then fell to the ground dead.
“… Eh?”
In less than a few seconds, Victor opened his eyes.
He got up off the ground and cracked his neck a little:
“Illusion, Charm, claws, bat wings, and a weird golden flame.” Victor used his fingers and listed everything he learned from that brief encounter, and soon he looked at the three of them with a big smile on his face.
“…” The three felt a shiver down their spines when they saw Victor’s smile.
“I’m curious. You guys are interesting, I want to know more!” With every word Victor spoke, his voice got louder.
A demonic aura exploded from his body:
“Let’s have fun!”
Gulp.
What in the seven-hells did the general order them to fight!? That’s what was going through the triplets’ minds.
Chapter 194: The Power Of Alucard. 3
“Let’s have fun!” Victor shouted as a dark, demonic aura left his body.
Victor disappeared and quickly reappeared in front of the man in the middle, then took the man by the arm and threw him into the air.
“Eh-?” The man couldn’t react to Victor’s speed in time.
“Die!” The other two who were close to Victor attacked him at the same time.
One was attacking with a golden flame, and the other was attacking with his claws.
Victor’s eyes glittered dangerously, and as Victor’s arms were rapidly covered in ice, he defended their attack with both of his arms.
BOOOOOOM!
A surge of power occurs when the two attack Victor simultaneously, but it doesn’t seem to affect Victor.
Cold air suddenly rushed out of Victor’s body and froze them both in place.
“Wha-.”
Before they could do anything, Victor grabbed each of them by the arm, then spun around a little, and threw them both towards the first man who was just starting to reach the peak of Victor’s first throw.
FUSHHHHHHHHHH
The two men tried to correct their center of gravity and break free of the ice encasing them but failed to recover in time to avoid impacting their brother.
The two frozen bodies collide harshly with the man who was in the air, tangling them together in a heap.
Victor points his palm towards the three brothers.
The atmosphere around him began to heat up as sparks of flame started to gather in his hand, and the magic circles on his glove began to glow crazily.
“Burn, bitches.”
BOOOOOOM!
A gigantic beam of fire burst from his palm, erupting angrily with searing flames towards the three men.
“Dodge, Dodge, Now!” An agitated voice began to thrash in the air. The first brother was trying to get away, but he couldn’t escape since his brothers were tangled up with him.
“Dog?” a neutral, emotionless voice asked.
“What’s the Dog doing?” a cold voice asked.
“It’s not a dog, you Idiot!” The man seemed to be freaking out:
“I said, Dodge!” He corrected the brothers screaming frustratedly at their idiocy.
“Oh.” They spoke at the same time.
Feeling the heat approaching, he started to get more worried:
“Faster, Dodge!”
“Yes.” The two spoke at the same time.
Their bodies were covered with golden power shattering the last of the ice and freeing their movements again as they pushed off each other then disappeared.
“Oh…” Victor’s smile grew.
Rumble, Rumble, Rumble!
Victor’s entire body began to be covered by lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he was gone.
“Oof, I’m safe… Safe…” The man with an excited voice spoke in relief.
“Hello There.” Victor touched the man’s shoulder.
“!!!” Before he could react, Victor punched him in the face.
Crack, Crack!
Sounds of broken bones can be heard following an explosion, and rapidly the man is once more flying through the air.
“Brother.” The man with the cold voice appeared behind his brother and held him.
“I’m fine. This will be cured soon.” He spoke with a bloodied face.
Rumble, Rumble!
Hearing the sound of lightning, everyone quickly turned their attention to Victor.
“This is no time to worry about me, let’s fight! He can’t beat our teamwork!”
“Yes.” The man with the cold voice nodded.
“Right.” The man with the emotionless voice who appeared beside them nodded too.
They look at each other and nod their heads as their bodies are covered in a golden aura.
Seeing this, Victor’s smile widened again, and soon he too disappeared, leaving behind trails of lightning.
And just like Victor, the three men disappear too.
BOOOOOOM! BOOOOOOM! BOOOOOOM!
A high-speed battle was taking place. It was a battle that was impossible to see with untrained eyes.
“Ahhhhhhhhh!”
“HAHAHAHAHA~”
“…” Ruby looked at the fight going on in front of her with a dry look.
‘Is my husband a Sayajin rather than a vampire? What is this high-speed fight? Am I in an anime? What the fuck?’ Her Otaku side couldn’t help but comment on that, though she didn’t voice her thoughts aloud.
“Ruby, what are you doing?” Sasha asked.
“Nothing, just watching something,” Ruby replied.
“Oh, I see…” Sasha nodded, indicating that she understood, as she watched Victor for a few seconds and then started looking around as if she was looking for something.
“I found Carlos!” Violet yelled at the girls…
Maria was on Sasha’s shoulder being held like a sack of potatoes, and Sasha looked up at Violet with eyes glowing blood red.
Sasha, along with Maria, Ruby, and Luna, approached Violet, and soon they saw a man who had been burned all over.
“He’s not dead, his body is recovering,” Violet informed, and then she looked at Maria and Sasha.
“What are you going to do?”
“I-…” Sasha was going to say something, but suddenly Maria said:
“I will eat him.”
“…?” Sasha looked at Maria with curious eyes, and she was surprised that the only thing she could see was Maria’s cracked skin, and she was drooling as she looked at Carlos with blood-red eyes.
Ruby, Luna, and Violet looked at Sasha and waited for her decision:
Sasha’s face showed a distorted smile, she didn’t know if Maria was in control or if she was being controlled by her Ghoul instinct, but that doesn’t matter. For Sasha, it was a good result.
But…
‘It’s still not enough.’ She wanted to see Maria devouring Carlos while he was awake. She felt it would be an incredible sight.
“Ruby, freeze the man, we’ll take him home.”
“…Master…?” Maria turned to face Sasha, while she had a face that asked what Sasha was doing.
Sasha ignored Maria and continued looking at Ruby.
“… Are you sure?” Ruby asked.
“Yes, freeze him.” Sasha was determined.
“…Fine.” As it was Sasha’s decision, Ruby wouldn’t intervene too much, and she also felt that this was better since she could study Carlos before Sasha did her thing, so she did as Sasha asked.
She froze the man’s entire body.
“Luna, I’m counting on you. Take him home, and don’t forget to lock him up.”
Luna made a pouty face, it was pretty obvious she didn’t want to do this, but as it was Ruby’s order, she had no choice:
“…Yes, Lady Ruby.”
Luna approaches Carlos and holds him. Thanks to her supernatural strength, this was an easy job, but even so, she didn’t like it:
‘Tsk, where is Natalia when you need her?’ She complained internally.
If Natalia were around, it would be a simple job, but since she’s busy solving other things Violet asked for, she couldn’t make it today.
“I’m coming, Lady Ruby.”
“Be careful.” Ruby spoke.
Luna flashed a gentle smile, “Yes, I will.”
Then, she disappeared while holding Carlos.
“… If you’re done, come with me. I found something.” Violet suddenly spoke and started walking.
“…” Ruby looked at Violet with a strange expression, ‘why is she the only one who finds things? What the fuck? Is her luck too high?’
Violet approached the destroyed statue, she pointed her hand at the statue, and a blast of fire came out of her hand.
Fushhhhhhhh!
In less than a few seconds, the fire incinerated the statue from existence.
“…” Ruby, Sasha, and Maria were impressed by the destructiveness of Violet’s power.
“Why are you looking at me like that? This is normal, I just need to focus my power in one place, and it happens.”
This is not normal! That’s what they wanted to scream; they’d never seen Violet do something like this before.
“Anyway, look at this.” She pointed to the floor where the statue was, and soon everyone saw a ladder heading towards the ground.
“… How did you find this?” Ruby asked skeptically since she checked the whole place and found nothing, but how did Violet find it so quickly?
“Kaguya told me,” Violet replied.
“Kaguya…?” Ruby looked at Violet’s shadow, and soon she saw the shadow change to Kaguya’s appearance.
“… She’s here? I thought Darling hadn’t warned his Maids.”
“Where Darling goes, his Maids go with him, even now Bruna and Eve are in his shadow.” Violet replied.
“…How are the Maids in his shadow if Kaguya is with you?” Sasha asked.
“I don’t know.”
“…” Maria, Sasha, and Ruby didn’t know what to say when they heard the honesty of Violet’s words.
[Lady Violet, be careful, there are enemies hiding down there still.]
“Oh…?” A distorted smile appeared on Violet’s face, “That’s good, I needed to burn someone.”
[Sigh…]
Kaguya sighed when she heard what Violet said.
“Girls, let’s go in.”
“W-Wait, do you have a plan? You cannot invade-,” Ruby wanted to stop Violet from entering, but Violet just looked at Ruby and said:
“Plan?” With the same smile on her face, she said, “The plan is to burn them all.” And then she went downstairs.
“…” The three women were silent.
“Sigh…” Ruby sighed, too, just like Kaguya.
“Well, we should expect that. In a way, she’s pretty reckless just like my Darling.”
“…” Ruby looked at Sasha with a dry look that said, are you serious right now?
“…What?”
“Nothing, let’s go in.”
“Yes.”
BOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Ruby, Maria, and Sasha looked up and saw a massive explosion in the sky and saw the bodies of the three men falling towards the ground, without their arms and legs.
“… As expected.” The three spoke with a smile on their face, they suddenly heard Victor’s loud voice:
“That’s it!? That’s it!? That is all you got!?”
“Now that things were getting good! In the end, you guys are just worms too!?” He had an annoyed look on his face.
“…Oh shit…” Ruby said when she saw Victor’s face lose its skin and turn dark, the only thing that was seen was his eyes and his mouth.
“He’s really upset, huh?” Sasha spoke.
“He is disappointed.” Maria suddenly spoke.
“…?”
The two women looked at Maria.
“The enemies are weaker than he expected, and because of that, he is disappointed, and a few seconds later, that disappointment turned to annoyance and contempt.”
“…” The two looked at Maria with their mouths open since they thought they were the only ones who knew that.
“How do you know that?”
“I’ve been watching him for a long time…” Maria spoke in a flat tone. She didn’t lie since, during her entire stay, she observed everything that Victor did.
“…” The two were silent.
They felt strange when they saw Maria’s gaze. Did her gaze contain nothing but a feeling of neutrality?
They couldn’t explain the weird feeling they were feeling right now.
“…Anyway, let’s go in.” Ruby decided not to think about it too much right now.
“Yes.” Sasha nodded in agreement.
…
“Not even these three mutated are a match for him, huh?” General James spoke out loud as he looked at the monitor.
‘The three together can handle a 700-year-old vampire easily, and when they shift, they can handle a 1200-year-old vampire, but even so, they’re losing, and he hasn’t even morphed into his vampire count form…’
“You are a monster, Alucard.” James looked at the man on the monitor.
James got it all wrong. Yes, the three men are strong, but why are they losing to Victor?
That’s simple, Victor is superior in combat. The martial arts plus the fire powers that are the hybrid’s weakness leave him in a much superior state. He trained with Scathach, for god’s sake. Does he really think untrained worms can do something against him?
“Are you upset, Alucard?” James asked.
“Stand up, Mongrels!” Victor yelled angrily at the three men.
“Yes, you are.” James suddenly got up from where he was sitting and walked towards a computer.
“In that case, I’ll give you a gift if you can handle it only in your base form… I think only Level S experiments can handle you…”
The man visibly sighed.
Sigh
“I was saving them for the vampire counts…” Soon his eyes snapped open in realization.
He facepalmed, “Oh, I forgot… You’re a vampire count now, huh?” He hadn’t considered Victor a vampire count, after all, he was very young, but after that little test, he seemed to have changed his mind.
The man liked to talk to himself… And to answer to himself… He lost his mind.
“Yes… Indeed… You’re a vampire count now, Hahahaha.” He seemed to laugh at what a fool he was.
“In that case…” His eyes glowed gold for a few seconds as he took his hand away from his face and looked at the monitor:
“I will regard you as a monster on the same level as a vampire count.”
He looks at the keyboard and starts typing something:
“I’m sorry, A-010, A-011, A-012… But this is for the greater good… Please die.”
Then he clicks the ‘Enter’ key.
And suddenly.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
A black and golden power began to come out of the three men following their screams of pain:
“AHHHHHHHHHH!”
“Hurts! Hurts!”
The man looks at the monitor with a lifeless look:
“You were correct, my friend, Nietzsche.” He walks to his chair and sits down:
“To defeat a monster, an even bigger monster must be used.”
“Now, let’s see how you do against this creature, Alucard.”
Chapter 195: The Power Of Alucard. 4
Victor was looking at the three brothers, who began to release a pillar of golden and black energy.
‘Don’t tell me…’ He seemed to have noticed something, which caused a visible change in his expression.
“AHHHHHHHHH!” The three men began to scream in pain, and the sounds of breaking bones and rending flesh could be heard.
Crack, crack, crack!
It was a horrible sound, their bones seemed to be being broken into several pieces, and their bodies muscles were suffering from the same process.
Blood began to pour out of all three men’s bodies as they screamed in agony. They screamed as if someone had grabbed every bit of flesh on their body and were squeezing and twisting to cause as much pain as possible.
“Hurts! Hurts! Hurts!”
Victor continued watching everything with a neutral gaze, a cold gaze, and an annoyed look on his face. His expression changed emotions several times, but in the end, he only had one predominant feeling.
Rage.
Every time he heard the men’s bones breaking, every time he listened to the man’s agonized screams, the feeling of anger only increased.
With his special eyes, he could see that the three brothers’ auras began to merge, and their bodies warped together as if they were trying to form a single entity.
And he could more or less imagine what was going on in front of him now.
Suddenly.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
An even larger pillar of golden and black energy came out of the men.
“AHHHHHHHHH!” And their cry of pain was heard.
Despite the light show in front of him, Victor could clearly see what was going on with his special eyes.
“Is this your idea!?” He yelled with a visible annoyance on his face, “A hybrid, I accept, they are Mongrels, but at least they still have the slightest conscience, but this!?
“What the fuck is this!?”
Rumble, rumble!
Victor’s voice was like the sound of thunder.
“Why is he so upset? I can not understand.” James spoke while looking at the monitor
The golden and black pillar disappeared, and soon a ten-foot-tall creature was in front of Victor.
It was covered in dark gray skin with weird tattoos all over its body and two gigantic bat wings erupting from its back.
The creature opened eyes that were completely blood red.
“Now, let’s see how you do against this creature, Alucard,” James spoke in a cold voice that held a great deal of curiosity. He wanted to see!
He wanted to see the limits of the new vampire count!
ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
The monster roared toward Victor.
But Victor didn’t react as the General expected and just looked at the creature with an annoyed look, while he didn’t even seem interested in the creature.
Victor’s face distorted even more when he heard the creature’s roar, as his face began to darken and lose its pale skin, then, as if by magic, a faceless entity with only red eyes and a mouth that showed his sharp teeth was in front of everyone.
“Oh…” The general’s smile widened a little.
Victor ground his teeth together, as a dark pressure began to leave his body, he clenched his hands tightly, and then a demonic voice came out of him:
“Is this your idea to test me!?”
FUSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
The voice was so powerful that everyone around him could feel what the man was feeling.
He was angry. He was so angry that mere anger couldn’t express his feelings now.
“…” General James raised an eyebrow.
“You make me fight an irrational monster!?”
“An irrational monster!?”
ROOOOOOOOOOARRRRRR!
The monster disappears and then reappears in front of Victor!
Remarkable speed for something its height since it should be too heavy!
“Disappointing!”
BOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Victor punched the monster so hard in the face that the monster collapsed and flew towards the ground.
“Eh…?” That was the only word the General could express for such irrationality. He could accept many things, a vampire count transformation, a special power he had never seen.
But… A punch?
One fucking punch!?
“…What the fuck am I seeing on my screen right now? This has to be an illusion.” James opened his mouth wide. It was quite obvious that he hadn’t expected this result from one of his plans.
‘This experiment has the power of a thousand-year-old vampire, so why did it get knocked away so easily? Why did it lose so easily!? This was not supposed to be happening!’ James couldn’t understand something very simple.
Everyone knows that in the toughest role-playing games, the most challenging enemies are humanoid enemies, not monsters.
An irrational monster, a monster that doesn’t understand martial arts, a monster that doesn’t have the ability to think and make decisions like a conscious being wouldn’t be able to defeat or even entertain Victor.
The act of transforming the three brothers who had at least had an amount of rationality and ability to act as a group into an irrational monster.
It’s basically an insult to Victor. He doesn’t want to fight an irrational monster. He wants to fight beings who use tactics, who use martial arts, who use any kind of techniques possible to defeat him!
He wants to evolve when facing stronger beings!
And most importantly, he wants to have fun in this process!
And it is because of that desire that Victor was so furious. He has never been as angry in his life as he is now. The only other time he has ever displayed that kind of anger was when his precious Maid, Kaguya Blank, was seriously injured by a church dog and when he learned that his wife was ambushed by those same dogs.
The humanoid being who could now be called a demon? Or a vampire? A vampire demon?
Victor couldn’t tell clearly because its body’s aura was in complete chaos since he could see through his eyes that the creature’s body was covered in black liquid and the mark of a vampire.
He could no longer see any sign of the human heart that symbolized this creature’s humanity.
Anyway, Victor didn’t care, as he glared at the monster with a visible look of rage.
Badump, Badump.
Victor’s heart starts beating frantically.
ROAAAAAAAAAAAR!
The monster roared towards Victor, and soon a gigantic golden ball of fire came out of its mouth and flew towards Victor.
Victor didn’t know the properties of the golden fireball, but he was slightly sure that this fireball was the work of the hunter’s powers, something like a purifying flame, a flame made to kill only creatures of the night that were weak to fire… Creatures like vampires.
But he could see that this flame was a little different. He could see a dark power that was leaking from some of the flames, tainting the brilliant golden fire with spots of dullness and shadow, and he was really curious to know what that power was.
But…
That’s not what’s important right now.
Victor covers his arm with the power of ice and slaps the fireball aside like a bug.
The fireball deflects to the left side and flies in a very distant direction, and quickly hits the ground. And unlike before, the fireball caused a gigantic explosion.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Despite having heard the explosion and feeling the force of the blast in his body, Victor never stopped facing the monster in front of him.
Victor’s icy arm melted, and slowly his arm began to turn black and red; it was as if the transformation that had occurred on his face had continued on to cover his arm as well.
“Worm.”
Despite having lost all senses, despite having lost all humanity and ability to think, the creature felt something when it looked at Victor.
The creature felt fear…
A fear that reached to the depths of its soul, an instinctive fear, it was as if the creature had encountered a higher entity, an entity it could not understand or comprehend with the rest of the almost non-existent intelligence that existed in it.
Gulp.
Unconsciously, the creature swallows hard and takes a step back.
Victor’s glove’s magic circles began to glow crazily as if warning that something big was coming.
Victor raises his hand up, and rapidly pure blood begins to gather, and as if by magic, a blood greatsword appears in his grip.
“THAT’S IT!” James opened his eyes wide as he looked at the monitor. He had a shocked face, a face that said that he couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
As expected of a stubborn man, Victor completely ignored the warning of Scathach and the king of vampires.
The warning that he wasn’t to show that power until he was ready to use it.
But… Victor didn’t care, as his whole being was disgusted by the creature in front of him, his entire being screamed for this creature to be eliminated. So, that’s what he did:
“Get out of my sight. You’re disgusting.”
Victor holds the blood greatsword in both hands and swings the sword vertically, lowering the sword almost casually.
And then a massive vertical crescent shaped blood attack flew rapidly toward the creature.
The creature turned to flee, but unfortunately, it was too late, as Victor’s attack passed through it and bisected the creature’s entire body in half vertically.
Despite being born just seconds ago, the pitiful creature was eliminated from existence by Victor.
As Victor couldn’t properly control his power yet, his attack passed through the creature and tore across the land.
As if it were an unstoppable force of nature, his attack began to penetrate Earth’s soil without stopping leaving a deep gouge like a scare in the landscape.
“Wha-…” General James couldn’t believe what he was seeing now. This attack’s destructive power was too ridiculous. “Just how far does this attack go!?”
Only God knows, but he probably wouldn’t answer him.
Victor’s attack was utterly devastating.
There was no noise like before, there was no explosion, it was like a silent force of nature that cut through everything in its path, that was the kind of power that Victor unleashed now.
The power of Alucard.
The creature’s body slid in two as something started happening to the creature’s body.
The creature’s entire body begins to dissolve into pure blood that rises in streams of dark red and flies towards Victor’s body.
Victor undid the blood greatsword as it also dissolves into streams of red, and the blood used to create the greatsword also enters his body.
Victor didn’t care about the creature’s blood entering his body, as he just looked up at its ‘face’.
He pointed his finger at a direction in the sky and spoke in a dark voice that sent shivers through James’ soul:
“Record what happened in your memory, and never forget it, because next time…” His eyes flashed blood red.
“Next time, it will be you.” A blast of fire shot out of Victor’s finger, and soon the fire rapidly spread across the sky.
It was an area attack aimed at destroying anything that was watching him.
Victor wasn’t sure if it worked or not, but he had to try, he knew someone was watching him, and because of that, he used the power of fire to burn the whole sky around him.
Victor points his hand away, and then a gust of fire, much like the previous one, comes out of his other hand, throwing more flames into the night sky.
…
Gulp.
James swallowed hard and sat back in his chair with a stunned look on his face.
“This…This…” He looked disbelieving.
“Pfft…” A slight hint of laughter left his face, and then:
“HAHAHAHAHAHA”
“I understand! I understand!” He shouted as he facepalmed.
“HAHAHAHAHAHA,” His laugh was crazy, a laugh that held a deep-rooted insanity, a laugh that held fear and despair.
“Everything he’s feeling right now… His unnatural power, why he didn’t turn into a plebian vampire, his rapid growth…” James looked at Victor again.
“Alucard!” James’ eyes flashed bright gold, “Calling you a count is an insult. You are not a count… You are a king… A king who shouldn’t have existed.”
He gets up from his chair and speaks with an expression that shows his determination:
“I will certainly commit this day to my memory.” He clenches his fists tightly:
“Today is a day I will never forget.”
“As long as I live, I will remember this day forever…”
“The day I witnessed Alucard’s power, an irregularity that shouldn’t have existed.”
James stops staring at the monitor that is only showing static now and turns around:
“It’s time to change plans.”
“Minions are not going to be able to defeat that freak. I must create stronger soldiers, smart soldiers, soldiers who can fight that freak face to face and win.” He pulls out his black cell phone and looks for a phone number.
“And for these soldiers to be born, I need a new ingredient.” He displayed a cold smile.
He clicks on a specific phone number in his contacts, the cell phone starts calling, and soon the call connects:
“We need to talk.” General James is silent for the time being, and soon he makes a decision:
“…I will accept your agreement.”
Chapter 196: Sometimes You Should Just Burn Everything.
You can read the novel fast updates at
or
“Burn, Bitches!”
“AHHHHHHHHHHHH!” Sounds of men screaming in agony from being burned alive can be heard all around.
Violet looked like a crazy psychopath who was walking around setting everything ablaze with a big smile on her face.
“Burn in the holy fire. The inquisition has arrived, bitches!” Violet kicks open the door to a room, scaring everyone inside.
“Are you a slayer!?”
“We’re on the same side!”
“Why are you doing this!?”
Violet makes a face like she’s looking at a fool, “What a stupid question!”
“It’s because I want to!”
“You’re crazy!”
“Say ‘hello’ to god for me, tell him that his wife is a bitch who is cheating on him… Oh, but if you go to hell, tell Satan he needs to meet God! Their gay romance still hasn’t progressed after thousands of years!”
“You’re not making any sense-..”
Violet points her hand at the man and says with a distorted smile,
“I know.”
Fushhhhhhhh
Fire came out of the woman’s hand and started burning everything again!
“AHHHHHHHHHH!”
“HAHAHAHAHA, THIS IS FUCKING FUN!”
“Ahhhhhhhhhhh! I’m burning, I’m burning!”
“Yes, indeed. You’re burning!”
“Someone kill this madwoman!”
“Impossible, this place has no weapons!”
“Damn, who was the idiot who didn’t put guns-.”
“Hello.” Violet appears behind the man and grabs him by the neck, and rips the man’s arm from his body.
“AHHHHHHHHH!”
“The inquisition has arrived bitches! It’s time to burn all the infidels!” She was doing a good job impersonating a hunter…
…
Cough, Cough, Cough.
“My god, Violet. Why did you burn everything? I almost suffocated.” Sasha spoke in an annoyed voice as she coughed heavily.
“Well…” Violet didn’t have much to say, and she’s definitely not going to say she liked what she did in this place.
“…” Ruby looked around with a cold gaze as she put her hand over her mouth, as she was looking at the mess Violet had made.
Burnt bodies, burnt files, burnt walls.
Yes… Basically, everything was burned.
“Oops…?” She scratched her head while making an innocent face that was, at the same time, obviously not so innocent.
She definitely liked burning everything.
“We’ve lost any useful clues now…” Sasha spoke as she looked at all of the burned files.
“Not quite.” Ruby suddenly spoke.
“…Hmm?”
“All is not lost, look.” She pointed to a number on the basement wall.
Sasha, Violet, and Kaguya looked at where Ruby was pointing, and they saw the number 1.
“This is the first floor of the basement.” Ruby took a step forward, and suddenly.
FUSHHHHHHHHH!
The whole place was frozen.
She takes her hand away from her mouth and says, “The important stuff isn’t on the first floor, let’s investigate further, and this time…” Ruby looked at Violet with a menacing look.
“Don’t burn everything, please.”
Nod, Nod!
Sasha nodded furiously, making sure it was clear she agreed with what Ruby said.
Violet turns her face away, “…I’ll try.” She pouted.
“Anyway-.” When Ruby was going to say something, all the girls listened.
“Is this your idea to test me!?”
The girls’ world suddenly seemed to get heavier, and they quickly looked up:
“Darling is angry.” The three spoke at the same time.
[Master…] Kaguya’s shadow begins to leave Violet’s body and soon disappears into the darkness.
“…Isn’t she more hardworking than when she was working for me?” Violet asked with a raised eyebrow.
“I wonder what made him so angry.” Sasha promptly ignored what Violet asked and spoke up.
It was common knowledge between the two girls that Violet always got into trouble, and Kaguya had to clean up the bullshit she did.
‘Ah… That hasn’t changed much, huh?’ Sasha thought when she remembered that her husband always got into trouble.
“The only thing I’m feeling from Darling is anger and disappointment,” Ruby spoke a little of what she was feeling about their connection.
“Is the opponent likely weaker than expected?” Sasha thought out loud for the girls to hear.
“Hmm… I don’t think that’s it…” Violet said. She knew that Victor only got angry when someone close to him was threatened, just like what happened with Kaguya and Sasha.
Or when someone kills his fun or gets in his way when he is fighting.
But from those two things mentioned above, he wouldn’t have such a strong reaction. Something wasn’t right.
“Anyway… Let’s continue.” Ruby didn’t know what made her husband so angry, but they needed to work too, and she was curious about how this basement was built.
From what she can see, this basement appears to be an advanced scientific facility? Ruby wonders why the church spent so much money building this place and left it with so little protection.
‘Maybe this is one of the laboratories responsible for creating the hybrids?’ Ruby thought this was very possible.
And if this place was what she was thinking, she was definitely very curious about this place.
Just as Ruby was about to take a step to keep walking, she felt someone grab her arm and pull her back.
“… Violet?”
“Why did you-” Ruby was silent, as she felt a power that sent shivers down her spine and a cold sweat run down her back, pierce through the roof, and break through the basement.
She quickly turns and looks down.
“Darling is going too far… Something really pissed him off.” Violet’s eyes were black, like a black hole. She doesn’t like it when Victor uses this power. After all, she knows the consequences of Victor using that power.
‘Who was? Who was the bastard who made you use that power? I will kill him again!’
“Would the attack have hit me…?”
“Don’t be silly. Of course it wouldn’t have, I just pulled you because you’re too lost in thought.”
Ruby wanted to scream bullshit, but when she looked at the spot where Sasha was looking, she realized that the attack had actually gone relatively far away from her.
“Darling paved the way for us.” Sasha flashed a small smile as she stared at the cut in the floor from the power that Victor unleashed.
“…You don’t look worried,” Ruby asked as she looked at Sasha.
Sasha looked at Ruby with an emotionless look, “I’m worried, but I also know my husband is a stubborn man who never listens to anyone.”
“If you tell him to go right. It’s 100% sure he’s going to the left. He’s a stubborn man, and he doesn’t take orders from anyone, and mostly…-”
“When he gets angry, he doesn’t care about anything else. He’ll just do what he wants. It’s like a filter that turns everything off…-” Violet continued what Sasha was going to say with a small smile on her face.
“And while this is a failure, this is his strongest point.” This time it was Ruby who continued what Violet had said.
“An incorrigible man indeed.” The three spoke at the same time.
“…” They smile at each other, and then Violet turns around:
“I will go back to my Darling.” Since, despite what she said, Violet still cares more about Victor than a useless lab that she’s just going to burn down.
“Okay, we will continue,” Ruby spoke as Sasha nodded.
Ruby walks towards the hole Victor’s attack opened in the underground lab, as she creates an ice spear and takes a step into ‘nothing’, and let’s gravity do its job.
Rumble, Rumble!
Sasha’s body starts to crackle with the sound of lightning, and soon she disappears, leaving behind golden trails.
…
Violet returned to the surface, and she was surprised to see that everything around her was on fire.
‘Annoying… Annoying…’ She was hearing Victor’s thoughts.
She looks in one direction and soon finds Victor sitting on an ice throne with a bored face. Although he seemed calm and cold on the outside, on the inside, he was extremely annoyed.
“Hmm…?” Victor seemed to meet Violet’s eyes.
‘…Oh, honey…’
Violet listened in her mind.
And like magic, his turbulent emotions seemed to calm down significantly.
“Darling…” Violet flashed a loving smile as she jumped towards Victor.
She sits on his lap and curl’s against him while leaning her head on his chest, making it obvious she wants to be pampered!
Wrong, she demanded to be pampered!
“…” Victor’s smile grew gently, and soon he began stroking Violet’s head.
“Hehehehe~.” She wore a goofy smile since she always liked it when Victor did that to her.
The two are silent while enjoying each other’s presence. It was only in moments like these that they didn’t need to say anything. After all, they could understand each other even if they didn’t say anything.
In the middle of an abandoned city burned by fire, a man was sitting on a throne of ice while he had a beautiful woman with long white hair in his arms.
… That was a strange sight indeed, but even though it was strange, this was a beautiful sight.
“Why are you so angry, Darling?” Violet finally asked the question she wanted to know.
“Oh, it’s nothing. Only that some idiot interrupted my fun, and that annoyed me.”
“I see… And what did this idiot do?”
“He turned three interesting opponents into an irrational monster.”
“…” Violet’s eyes gleamed a little dangerously.
“What was this monster?”
“I don’t know, but it was strong. I think it could kill an untrained 1000 year old vampire easily? Although I’m sure someone like Lacus could defeat this monster… But I think she would still have a bit of trouble?”
Victor couldn’t measure the monster’s exact capabilities. After all, he killed it very quickly, but with just those golden flames and the incredible power boost, he could be a formidable opponent for Lacus.
But in the end, Victor believes Lacus would emerge victorious, considering her training with Scathach isn’t just for show, and his thoughts become more concrete when he understands that Lacus, Siena, or even Pepper never used their full power against him.
“I see…” Violet thought this was a bad thing since Victor might not understand why he is so abnormal.
But that kind of monster is very dangerous for normal noble vampires. ‘It would be nice if he had a recording of that fight.’
Violet was trying to be more responsible, and she felt like she should tell her mom that or something, but…
“… Hmm… Whatever, that’s a lot of work.” She lays her head on Victor’s chest and forgets everything she just thought.
She was incorrigible…
“Hahaha~.” Victor chuckled gently as he stroked Violet.
“Why are you laughing?” Violet looked at Victor with her violet eyes.
“It’s nothing, I just thought it was funny.”
“Hmm…” Violet eyed Victor with a suspicious look.
“Hahaha-, It’s nothing-.” Victor was going to say something.
“When are you going on the dates you promised with Sasha and Ruby?” But Violet interrupted what he was about to say with a question.
“What-…Ugh.” Without meaning to, Victor ended up biting his tongue…
He hadn’t expected this sudden question.
“…” Violet continued to look at Victor with a neutral gaze.
Her face said, ‘Answer me, I’m waiting.’
“Hmm…” Victor’s tongue is healed, and then he speaks:
“I was actually planning on meeting them when we got back to the human world, but you know what happened, right?”
“Yes… We didn’t have a lot of time to enjoy ourselves together.”
“Yes…”
“…I can’t focus 100% on them like I did you if I don’t get rid of this nagging feeling in my chest.”
“I feel like it would be unfair to the girls if they didn’t have my full attention on my date with them…” Victor spoke in a sincere tone as he looked into Violet’s eyes.
“Hmm…Good, at least you thought about it properly.” Violet laid her head back on Victor’s chest.
“…” Victor narrowed his eyes a little. He really didn’t understand Violet sometimes.
If it was Violet from a few months ago, that kind of attitude would have been impossible.
“…Of course I think about it properly, I want to give them a proper date, and I can’t do that while all this is going on…”
“I know, I know. You’re weird in some ways.” Violet spoke, and suddenly she suggested,
“You should pay more attention to Ruby and Sasha.”
“…But I do. Don’t I?” Victor didn’t understand. He definitely remembers that he never forgets to pay attention to his wives.
“It’s still not enough, you need to pay more attention!” Violet gets up again and cups Victor’s face, and she repeats with a crazed look.
“MORE, MORE, MORE!”
“…” Victor flashed a small smile when he saw Violet’s gaze.
“If you don’t pay attention to us, we’ll kidnap you and take you somewhere secluded.”
“Please, do it.”
“…Huh?” Now it was Violet’s turn to be surprised.
“I mean, I want to spend more time with my wives, but these worms keep showing up, and it’s so fucking annoying.”
“…Whoa…” Violet was actually surprised by something.
“What?”
“Nothing.”
“Of course, it’s not nothing. Don’t be reluctant with your thoughts.”
“It’s nothing, don’t worry.” Violet flashes a seductive smile as she leans her head against Victor’s chest and closes her eyes.
“Strange…”
“Hehehehehe~.” Violet had an evil smile on her face.
Chapter 197: Isn’t That Too Easy?
As Victor sat on his ice throne, he looked around to observe the fruit of his actions. His glowing red eyes solemnly reflected the burning city, all while he wore a serene face.
A completely calm, unreadable face.
If people who knew Victor saw his face now, they would undoubtedly feel a little chill course through their spine, as they weren’t used to seeing such serenity in his countenance.
They would definitely be asking themselves, ‘What is he thinking?’
The answer to that question would be…
Nothing.
His brain was completely empty, like a blank page.
Victor wasn’t thinking about anything, and that would scare them even more because they knew something.
Victor was like a force of nature, he was unpredictable, and when he thought about nothing, the next actions he tended to take usually meant someone was going to die.
Maybe a person.
Maybe a group of people.
Maybe a country?
They couldn’t know. But one thing was certain, someone was going to die.
“Darling, what are you thinking?” Violet asked curiously. She wasn’t feeling any from Victor’s connection, and, because of that, she had found this situation a bit odd, so she asked him that.
“Nothing.” He was honest. He really wasn’t thinking about anything.
“…” Violet was silent while she seemed to be thinking about something, but then her thoughts faded when she felt Victor’s caress on her head. She felt so peaceful when he did that to her.
Victor stopped looking at the burning city and looked to a certain spot.
Rumble, Rumble!
A golden beam appeared where he was looking, and soon Sasha could be seen.
“Darling… Violet…” Her eyes seemed to glow a little blood red when she saw the position Victor and Violet were in:
“You guys need to see this.” She had a completely serious face. It was quite impressive how she could hide what passed over her face in less than a few seconds.
“…” Victor and Violet looked at each other, and then they both nodded.
“Okay.” They said at the same time.
Violet elegantly got off of Victor’s lap.
Victor rose from his throne and looked at the burning city, ‘I must resolve this, or the fire will continue to grow.’ he pointed his hand towards the city.
The magic circle of Victor’s gloves started to glow like crazy as he used a power he rarely saw a need to use.
Particles of water began to gather in Victor’s hand, and slowly, a small ball of water formed.
This little water ball started to grow and grow, and soon a gigantic water ball was being held by Victor.
Victor threw water into the city sky.
When the water ball reached a height that Victor thought would be appropriate, he clenched his fist as he said,
“Explode.”
BOOOOOOM!
And just as he had, said a small explosion happened, and soon it started to rain all over the abandoned city.
“…This is fucking bullshit.” Violet and Sasha said at the same time since they didn’t even have the words to express what they were feeling right now.
And to be honest, they also completely forgot that Victor could use the power of water.
‘Oh, Ruby can too.’ Violet thought.
Although the way Ruby used her water power more as a support for the ice power.
…
Violet and Sasha ventured underground again, this time with Victor in tow.
“…Hmmm…Should I jump into the hole now?” He looked at the hole in the ground with a knowing look. He could understand that this was the remnants of the attack he threw a few moments ago.
“Yes, Ruby is waiting for us downstairs,” Sasha spoke.
“Okay…” With no hesitation on his face, Victor took a step forward into the air above the crevice, and quickly gravity began to do its work.
Violet followed Victor’s example and, mimicking his actions, casually stepped over the edge and allowed gravity to pull her after her darling.
Rumble, Rumble.
Sasha’s covered herself in lightning, and in the blink of an eye, she disappeared, leaving behind golden trails of lightning.
As he fell towards the ground, Victor crossed his arms and thought, ‘Why is this hole so deep?’
And at the moment when he said that, he could see a small light approaching from the ground, showing he was arriving at his destination.
When he was just inches from impacting the ground when he suddenly stopped in midair and then landed softly on the ground.
He looked around and realized the whole place was frozen. He looked down a little bit and realized the hole still continued much deeper into the earth but was covered by a thick layer of ice connecting with the floor of the level he stopped on, presumably to prevent people from falling into the endless hole?
‘My wife’s work…’ Victor thought when he saw that the whole place was frozen, she was the only one here currently, besides him, who had the power to do something like that.
Victor looked up, his eyes glowed a slight blood red, and then he held out his arm.
Suddenly, a small woman with long white hair, moving like a rocket, landed in his arm.
BOOOOM!
Crack, Crack!
A small cobweb-shaped crater was created around Victor when Violet fell into his arms.
As expected from Clan Scarlett’s ice power, even with this level of force, the ground didn’t crack much. If it was on dry land, he was 100% sure that an even bigger hole would be created.
“Couldn’t you slow yourself down with your firepower?” Victor asked in curiosity.
“I could…” Violet knew that she could have used her power as a way to slow her down.
“…But I knew you were going to catch me, right? Darling.” She flashed a seductive smile that slightly scratched Victor’s heart.
“…” A small smile appeared on Victor’s face, and he said, “Of course.”
“Hehehe~.” She exhibited a sneaky little smile.
Victor found Violet’s smile very beautiful now.
“Hmm…” Victor looked up again.
“…” Violet suddenly started to move, and she quickly left Victor’s arms.
Victor extended his arms again.
A small golden bolt appeared, and soon the appearance of Sasha being held by Victor was seen.
Victor flashed a teasing little smile:
“…You could have gotten here before us, right?” Since, as a user of the power of lightning, he was pretty sure she could get there before them.
Sasha’s cheeks turned a little red with embarrassment, and she said,
“Shut up…” As she hugged him to hide her blush.
A small, gentle smile appeared on Victor’s face since he could easily tell what she wanted.
She wanted to be pampered! She wanted attention!
“Hahaha~, my wife is so cute…” He hugged Sasha tighter.
“…” A small smile appeared on Sasha’s face. She wouldn’t deny that when she saw Violet sitting on Victor’s lap and enjoying his caress, she felt a little jealous. She wanted that too!
“… You done?” Suddenly a cold voice can be heard.
Victor, Violet, and Sasha look in the direction of the voice, and they see Ruby wearing a lab uniform. She has little red glasses on her face, and her red hair is tied back in a ponytail.
She looked very professional.
“You look beautiful in this uniform, Ruby.”
“…” Ruby adjusted her glasses up and said:
“Thank you, Darling.” Despite speaking in a cold tone, her cheeks were a little red.
“… Anyway.” Ruby turned when she saw the small smile on Victor and Violet’s faces, and she could even see Sasha wearing a teasing smile.
“Come.” She started walking towards a place.
Victor put Sasha down, and soon the three started following Ruby.
As they walked through the hallways, Victor could see people transformed into macabre ice statues that had small cuts on their necks, and some had a hole in their chest.
With only the remnants of battle, Victor could understand what happened. It was quite simple actually.
‘Ruby froze everything, and Sasha killed them all with her unnatural speed.’ Victor looked at the cuts and realized it was made by a small blade, maybe a dagger?
Passing through the corridor full of statues, the group arrived in front of a laboratory.
Ruby took a card from her pocket and turned to look at the group:
“Before you go in, put on that mask.” She pointed to some masks used to filter several substances and chemicals from the air.
Sasha was the first to move and put on the mask, and soon Victor and Violet followed after.
Victor and Violet were having second thoughts, they wanted to ask questions, but they decided to hold back for now.
After all, Ruby doesn’t do anything useless.
“Good.” Ruby exhibited a small smile, then put on a mask as well.
“…” Why are you acting like you own the place?
Violet really wanted to talk about it right now, but she was silent and walked in with Victor.
And when entering the place, she saw something strange.
“…bodies inside a tube? Is that what you wanted to show us?” Her voice came out a little weird due to the mask.
“…” Ruby and Sasha were silent, and they didn’t answer Violet’s question, as they just kept looking at Victor with curious eyes.
“…” Violet narrowed her eyes a little, and then she looked at Victor.
“Hmm…” Victor walked towards the beings that were inside the capsules that had a strange green liquid.
He saw that on one side of the room, there were only men, and on the other side of the room, there were only women, and the count was the same for both genders.
Six women and six men.
Victor saw a strange number on top of each of the capsules.
“F-061.” Victor’s eyes narrowed, then he looked at another capsule and looked at the top.
“F-068.”
“F-039”
.
.
.
.
.
All capsules appeared to have an identifying code name at the top, but the numbers did not appear to be in order. Some were higher, while others were lower.
“… That way of naming them…” Violet opened her eyes a little as she seemed to understand something.
“Yes, it’s the same as the information from that man we captured.”
“An identification number, they are categorizing by specimens,” Victor spoke in a neutral tone that contained disgust.
“Yes.” Ruby nodded.
Victor’s eyes begin to glow blood red, and he glared at every being in the room and noticed something:
“They are all mongrels.”
“Yes.” Ruby nodded and added:
“Although they are all failed experiments.”
“What do you mean?” Victor didn’t understand.
“They are dead,” Ruby spoke.
“Huh?” Victor didn’t understand. After all, from what he could see, they were all still alive.
Normally when a creature dies, Victor couldn’t see anything anymore, it’s like the creatures have become part of the red ‘world’ he sees.
Ruby elaborated further, “They’re in an unconscious state, but if you wake them up…well, they’re going to die, it is like a vegetative state.”
“For now, I just know that the green liquid is what keeps them alive.”
“And that the ‘F’ series of experiments were completely unusable because of an unknown complication.”
“The result of mixing the species, huh?” Sasha spoke.
“Yes.” Ruby nodded.
“…What do you mean about a series of experiments?” Victor asked.
“The experiments seem to be divided into levels…” Ruby grabbed a report from a table near one of the pods. This was the document she was reading when she heard the noise of Victor, Violet, and Sasha arriving.
“The levels are based on the potential of the specimen, the level is divided into B, C, D, E, F, and Z being the lowest, and the weakest and least mutated, and the B being the strongest.”
‘… Was that priest the strongest?… Of course not, the document is out of date…’ Victor immediately noticed an incongruity in the information.
“…” Ruby flashed a small satisfied smile when she saw Victor’s face of accomplishment, she could more or less understand what he was thinking, and that made her happy.
Her husband was quite a battle maniac, but at least he could use his brain!
Ruby passed the sheet, and a document with Zandriel’s photo was shown.
…
..
.
“Experiment Z-000: Codename Zandriel: The first human/vampire to survive the empowerment experiment.
Personality: He is very religious.
Mutation Status: Failure, he only inherited the basic powers of the noble vampires.
Lifespan: Unknown, but estimations show that, due to failure, it is predicted he will die in a few weeks.
Note: Human blood is not compatible with vampire blood. The two cannot mix properly, and something must be done…”
…
..
.
“…” Violet, Sasha, and Victor were silent while they seemed to be thinking about something.
Ruby threw the report on the table.
“It was from this place that that man who attacked Kaguya and ambushed Sasha came.”
Chapter 198: Where Is He!?
“…” An uncomfortable silence fell in the room as everyone was processing the words Ruby spoke.
Victor looked at the experiments and spoke.
“Burn it all.”
“Huh…?” Ruby didn’t expect this answer from Victor.
Sasha and Violet stop thinking about something and look at Victor.
“Or take it all.” Victor looked at Ruby and said:
“Choose.”
“…Huh?” Why is he giving the decision to me? Ruby did not understand what was going on.
“My honey. You found it, so you decide the fate of this place.” Victor spoke in a heavy tone that held no emotion.
“…” Ruby opened her mouth a little in shock. She didn’t expect him to leave the decision in her hands.
“This place…” Victor looked around, his eyes glowing blood red, “It disgusts me.”
“If it was me, this place would already be destroyed, but…” Victor looked at Ruby again:
“You must decide that.”
“…I…” Ruby seemed to be hesitating a bit, things were moving too fast, and she didn’t have time to process the best decisions.
“…” Victor displayed an imperceptible small smile when he saw Ruby thinking.
“No need to think too much, Honey. Do you want this place or not?” He hurried her a little.
“…I want…” She looked at Victor, “This place is interesting…” She was honest.
“Tell me your thoughts. Why do you want this place?” Victor asked as he stared into Ruby’s eyes.
“…I want to…” Ruby swallows hard since, for some reason, she found this all very difficult to say, “I want to know more about the research of these hybrids. And, by studying about it, I can avoid someone using your blood as an experiment. I want a base of operations in the human world, a place where I can do whatever I want.”
Victor exhibited a small, gentle smile:
“So Be it.” Victor takes off his protective mask.
“Darling!? Don’t do that, this place might have some viruses that can affect vampires!” Ruby warned Victor
“I have a bad feeling about this…” Violet suddenly spoke as she looked at Victor.
“…?” Sasha and Ruby didn’t understand why Violet said that.
A small flame is created in Victor’s hand, and soon he says:
“Explode.”
“Wha-,” The explosion Ruby had been expecting didn’t happen, and instead,
A small eruption of heat rose in the air and seemed to burn off all the ‘air’ in the place.
Victor points his hand at the ceiling and freezes the lab’s fire systems.
“Done.” Soon, he looks towards the laboratory.
“…As usual, he is casually doing ridiculous things,” Ruby spoke as she understood what Victor had just done. He just purified up and burned all the ‘air’.
“Having all of our powers is also a great injustice, it’s like the union of our clans.” Sasha pouted.
“But… This is our Darling!”
“Indeed.” The three spoke at the same time.
Victor’s eyes glow blood red:
“My Maids.”
The moment he said that, his shadow grew, and soon three women wearing Maid uniforms stepped out of his shadows.
“Master.” The three spoke at the same time.
Victor pointed to the spot, “Take everything of value, take all specimens, take all documents, everything my wife decides is important should be transported to my basement.”
“…Wha-,” Bruna was speechless with Victor’s request, wasn’t that a very irrational request!?
“Yes, Master.” Eve and Kaguya spoke at the same time.
“Fast!” Bruna was impressed with the girls’ response speed.
Eve didn’t quite understand Victor’s purpose, but she would do as he asked.
And Kaguya would just do what Victor asked. After all, a Maid must fulfill all the selfish wishes of the master.
Victor reaches into his pocket and pulls out a card.
“How do I use this?” Victor spoke as he looked at Violet.
Violet opened her eyes a little since she had forgotten about June’s card.
“…Just call her name, she’ll show up with some bullshit magic.”
“Okay…” Victor pretended he understood, but he didn’t understand at all. What do you mean just call her name?
Victor looks at the golden card and says:
“June, I have a job that will make you money-.” He didn’t even have to finish his sentence and then:
Fushhhhhhhh
A large magic circle appeared in front of Victor, and soon a woman with long black hair and golden eyes appeared.
“Hey, Hey, Hey~. I hear you have a job for me!?”
“What services of this humble witch of greed can satisfy Count Alucard’s desire?” She bowed with a noble gesture.
“It’s simple. Take everything of value, take everything my wife says is useful and transport it to my basement. My Maids will help you in the process.”
“You can do it?”
“Oh… I see, I see, I see.” June looked around with her eyes shining while she seemed to be assessing the place.
“It’s easy, I’ll just need to destroy some annoying enchantments, and voilà, I can take it all.”
“Good.” Victor turns and walks towards the exit:
“Violet and Sasha.”
“Darling?”
“When they finish…”
“Nuke this place.”
“…Huh?” They don’t understand anything. What did he mean by Nuke in this place!? They don’t have an atomic bomb, you know!?
“W-Wait, Darling, I want this place-.”
“I won’t allow it.” Victor looked at Ruby with his eyes glowing blood red.
“Eh?”
“I won’t leave my beloved wife in this lair reeking of dogs and mongrels, the basement of my house is a cleaner place, just get everything important, and Nuke this place.”
“…” Why does he sound like a thief!? And more importantly, what is this Nuke story!?
‘Darling… He’s a tsundere, huh? He just doesn’t want to be away from me!’ Ruby exhibited a small, gentle smile.
“Master… How are they going to nuke this place?” Eve asked curiously.
Nod, Nod!
Sasha, Violet, and Bruna seemed to nod their heads furiously since they wanted to understand this as well.
Victor looked at his Maid, “…My Maid, Eve. Don’t you understand that?”
“I do not understand.” She responded with the same neutral tone as she continued to look at Victor.
“I see…” Victor exhibited a small smile, “Then I’ll teach you.”
“Gather all the chemicals in this place, in one location.” Victor started making hand gestures as if he were teaching a child.
“When everyone is away from this place, Violet will just set everything on fire, and…”
“And…?”
“BOOOM.”
“This whole place is going to be destroyed,” Victor explained with an innocent smile.
“…” What is this shitty explanation!? That’s not how things work! Ruby and Bruna had a lot to comment on what Victor talked about now.
“I see…” Violet and Eve spoke at the same time.
‘I must take pesticides and fuels like gasoline, alcohol, diesel, and liquefied petroleum gas. Acids, bases, and alkalis should help too… I’m going to put everything in a lab, and a satisfying explosion should occur.’
‘Maybe if I find a little Nitroglycerin, the explosion could increase even more… Maybe a little uranium, and plutonium too…’ Even though she responded lightly, Eve’s head was spinning too fast.
…Is she really trying to create a Nuke…?
Now that Eve’s body was healthier, she could think about a lot and not get tired.
In contrast, Violet’s thoughts were simpler.
‘…Just burn everything, right? Okay, got it!’
“… Did they understand…?” Sasha’s lips twitched a lot now.
“Ruby, you’re smart. I know you’ll find a way to throw this place by the wayside, destroy everything.”
“…” Ruby nodded as she thought of a way to blow this place up, ‘Wait…’ But the moment she realized she was thinking this, she quickly looked at Victor, who was walking towards the exit.
“Darling, what are you going to do?”
“I will investigate this place further, I still can’t see some hidden places down here,” Victor spoke as his eyes glowed blood red while he looked to the side and saw a spot he couldn’t see with his special eyes.
“I see…Oh…be careful, Darling. This place may still be under surveillance. After all, before entering this place, I saw several cameras, but don’t worry-” Ruby was going to say that she had already destroyed everything and that the area where she was with the girls was completely safe.
“Oh…?” A cold air started to come out of Victor’s body, he didn’t like it one bit when he heard that someone was watching them, he breathed and exhaled a little, and everyone could see a little cold air coming out of his mouth.
“In that case.”
“…” June slowly approaches Violet and stands behind her.
The magic circles on Victor’s glove start to glow crazily:
“This place will become a new ice age.” Victor snaps his finger.
FUSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
A cold air left Victor’s body and spread all over the place.
Suddenly, the whole place turned to pure ice and, to prove his control of the ice, he ignored the specimens and the files. He just froze the floor and wall of the whole place.
“He’s overreacting again…” Ruby, Violet, and Sasha spoke again.
“…” Kaguya, Eve, and Bruna exhibited a small smile when they saw the way Victor does things.
“Done.” Victor starts walking again.
“Oh, wait! I’ll go with you!” Sasha jumped up and ran towards Victor since she didn’t want to serve as a luggage carrier. She knows the girls will abuse her because of her speed!
“Me too.” Kaguya had the same thoughts as Sasha when Victor ordered his Maids.
He didn’t specify who should work, and as the oldest and the hardest working Maid, she has the privilege of using that wordplay so she doesn’t do something she doesn’t want to.
Definitely not because she wanted to be with her master.
“… Tsk.” Violet and Ruby clicked their tongues at the same time:
“Let’s get to work, Girls.”
“I’m going to want this, this, this, and that, and all these documents.”
“Yes!”
“Get it all together in a box-.” Before Ruby could finish speaking, she heard something crack:
Crack.
“Does this work?” Eve spoke as she plucked a huge metal box from the wall. Apparently, the box was an empty container?
“Yes…” Ruby nodded, but she was surprised at how quickly Eve worked.
Ruby stops looking at Eve and looks at June, “…June, don’t charge too much for my Husband.”
“Oh, I know. I won’t.”
“…good.” Ruby felt strange. Was this the so-called Greedy witch? Why was she not looking for more benefits…
‘Oh, just having connections with a vampire count is already a huge achievement…’ Of course, June had a connection with Violet before, but she wasn’t a vampire count; she was the heiress of a clan that has the title of vampire count. Though she had a lot of political powers because of being from a powerful Clan, that doesn’t compare to the power of Agnes Snow.
…
Nightingale.
A woman was sitting in a rather noble red chair while wearing a white dress with black fur lining her shoulders and what looked like little black flowers lining a lace opening in the chest area that showed some of the pale woman’s skin and her breasts that have grown due to the woman’s power. The dress was quite noble with its vivid white on the outside and dark black trim on the edges and inner parts of the skirt.
The dress had a slit going up the right side that showed the woman’s thick legs.
“Kid,” The woman spoke while sensually crossing her legs:
“I’m not here to deal with garbage like you.”
She makes a movement with her hand.
Rumble, Rumble.
Swip!
The sounds of lightning, followed by current hitting the ground, are heard.
Gulp.
Einer Houseman gulped.
She had a sadistic and, at the same time an annoyed, expression on her face:
“Call your father.”
“As I’ve said many times… He’s not at home, he needed-.”
Swip!
The current hit Einer’s side again, and this time it felt closer than before!
A cold sweat broke out on Einer’s face. He couldn’t act arrogantly in front of this woman, she’s an older vampire, and to make matters worse, she’s completely crazy!
“Kid…I said, bring your dad. I don’t care where he is, what he’s doing, or if he’s fucking some big dick man.”
“I want him here now.”
‘This Crazy Bitch… She doesn’t listen to anyone!?’ He’s said countless times that his dad isn’t home and, in fact, even he wants to know where his dad is! If his father were at home, he wouldn’t be dealing with this woman.
And another thing too…
Einer looks around; ‘Where’s my twin brother!?’ He didn’t see Zwei Horseman anywhere. Not even his sister was home!
Einer Horseman is having the worst day of his life.
After waking up from his coma, he suddenly found that the man he’d fought in the game against his family had become a vampire count, and to make matters worse, a few days later, this crazy woman showed up at his door.
Like, what the fuck?
How did he get count status so quickly?
Fuck! Life is fucking unfair!
“Tsk…” Natashia’s eyes glowed blood red, as she was clearly getting more annoyed as time went on.
‘If I kill this whole family without being in a formal game, I won’t be able to regain the title of count… but I don’t want to wait…’ She was very impatient.
‘Fuck it, I’m going to kill them all! Anyone who stands in the way of my happiness with my husband will die!’
Rumble, Rumble.
Golden lightning began to cover the woman’s body, and her hair seemed to be floating a little.
“Shit…”
Chapter 199: A Normal Day In Nightingale?
Today was a quiet ‘morning’ in Nightingale, as the vampires from Clan Horseman territory woke up and were about to go about their daily routine.
What was the daily routine of these vampires who can live thousands of years?
Well, older vampires will seek ‘entertainment’ with their wives or even chat and gossip about whatever subject they are interested in talking about.
But most of the time, the older vampires were practicing dual cultivation with their wives since there isn’t much better entertainment than sex.
You can always invent something new and have fun.
Although some older vampires liked to read books and acquire more knowledge, but… These were the vampires who had the nickname ‘Sage.’
Why sage? Well, even though it’s been several years, and they’ve reached the age that’s considered old by vampires. (1000 years old).
They still haven’t experienced the forbidden pleasure since they were too busy with other things, like reading books, acquiring knowledge, following Japanese and Korean idols, and practicing the art of petting the goose that by that time has already reached the divine domain…
They are the real ones. Sages of the modern age…
Younger vampires who are poorer will go looking for jobs since they can’t be bums forever.
And jobs are not lacking in Nightingale. After all, there is always something to do since, as immortal vampires, they are always looking for ways to be entertained and not sit still, considering that if they stay put and do nothing all day, then how will that be any different than not living at all?
Although the most lucrative jobs were the ones where you needed to get your hands ‘dirty’.
But it’s a shame that vampires who go looking for jobs are the minority since most vampires who have lived for a long time have a ‘small’ amount of accumulated wealth.
And what are the descendants of these vampires going to do with that money?
Work and earn more?
Maybe seek out a female vampire and strengthen your clan by raising offspring?
Or maybe go after subordinates to make the Clan stronger?
The answer to all these questions was…
Nothing.
Yes, they won’t do anything…
How can descendants of noble vampires who have a ‘small’ amount of money even think about working?
Of course, they are not going to work since, like a real young master, they are going to spend that money!
They will go to brothels in search of forbidden pleasures. Apparently, some hostesses from a particular area of ??Clan Horseman territory have some very peculiar techniques that can make any vampire reach the ‘heavens’ in less than a few minutes.
They have a divine mouth… And a cave that could defeat even an incubus.
Those were the rumors, they didn’t know if they were true, but they would definitely go there.
Some noble vampires will go to the cinema to watch the newest movies, like the Marvel series, especially the most recent one where three spiders will be participating. Some younger vampires are particularly excited about this movie.
They even bought several t-shirts with a spider’s logo on them and went to the movies.
Some looking for exotic entertainment would go look for ‘humans’ to sample their blood.
It was an ordinary ‘morning’ in Nightingale, and everyone was doing their business until…
Rumble, Rumble.
BOOOOOOM!
“Hmm?” Some vampires look at the house of Clan Horseman.
“What was that noise?”
A small commotion began to take place with the vampires near the Clan Horseman mansion.
“Was that the sound of lightning?” A woman asked.
“Yes.”
“Hmm…But I don’t see rain clouds anywhere.” A younger vampire spoke as he looked up at the sky.
Today it was a clear sky, without any clouds.
An older vampire stroked his beard and said, “It’s not rainy season yet, so… the only thing I can think of is that former Countess Annatashia must have made her move.”
“Stop using your powers for something useless like this!” A woman attacked the older man’s head with a black pot.
Bonk!
“Ouch…” The older Vampire holds his head, and soon his appearance starts to change to that of a 30-year-old adult.
“Woman, let me have some fun, this is why I want to get divorced-!”
“What did you say…?” The woman’s eyes glittered dangerously, and she wore a smile very similar to the one Violet gave Victor sometimes.
“… You are beautiful today.” He displayed a small forced smile.
“Ara, thank you.” The woman displayed a loving smile.
“…” The crowd that saw this only thought one thing.
‘He is dominated by his wife…poor man…’
“Anyway-.” The 30-year-old looking man looked like he was going to say something, but suddenly.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
All vampires look at Clan Horseman’s mansion and see a small cloud of lightning forming in the sky.
Strangely… golden lightning was falling in the area of the Clan horseman mansion, which means…
“Yes, it’s definitely the former countess.” The man spoke.
“Things are getting interesting again, what should we do?”
“What a silly question… We will gossip of course!” The man’s wife spoke.
“Ohhh, you’re right!” The crowd seemed to get excited.
“Let everyone know that the former countess is making her move!” Someone suddenly yelled.
“Yes!”
… They sure have a lot of free time.
…
“Ara…” Natashia displays a smile that shows all her sharp teeth.
“Father…” Einer spoke in a neutral tone, but with some emotion in it, his father helped him! Did a miracle happen…?
He can’t help but feel suspicious.
“You finally showed up. I thought I’d have to rip all your descendants’ heads off for you to show up.”
“…” Niklaus Horseman just fell silent as he held the woman’s wrist with an annoyed look in his glowing blood-red eyes.
“What do you want-.” He was going to ask something but was interrupted by Natashia.
“First, let go of my hand.”
Rumble, Rumble.
Natashia’s other hand begins to be covered by lightning, and soon a lightning blade is created from her fist.
She attacks Niklaus’ hand, but the man quickly lets go of the woman’s hand and backs away.
“The only one who can touch my body is my husband.”
‘Husband…?’ For a few seconds Niklaus’ expression twitched a little since he didn’t know this crazy woman was remarried.
And if he doesn’t know, that means something’s wrong, he’s pretty sure he’s ordered his subordinates to watch Clan Fulger, and he knows that crazy woman has killed all her husbands, but why is she talking about husbands again?
No wonder Niklaus doesn’t know anything. He asked someone to watch the Fulger mansion and report anything ‘important’ and not report useless stuff.
After all, of all the counts, Annastahia Fulger was the woman who did the most random things, and he didn’t want to be bothered by a ‘useless’ subject.
His spy reported the rumor about Natashia and the new Count Alucard to Niklaus.
But this information never reached him since, when they were triaging to separate the vital information and send it to Count Niklaus, this information was dismissed as a ‘rumor’.
‘I need to review the reports again.’ He thought to himself, while he flashed a small smile:
“To what do I owe your visit-.” Niklaus was about to say something again, but he was interrupted by Natashia.
“I want a game for the title of vampire count, you and I will fight. I don’t want a fight between our descendants, it’s you and me that will fight.” She repeated herself to accentuate what she wanted, and at the same time as she waved her hand in disgust.
‘Ugh, should I rip that arm off? This disgusting man has touched me, I feel contaminated… But I will stain my beautiful dress again… Sigh’
“…Fine…” Niklaus’ eyes twitched again since he didn’t like being interrupted several times:
“Why are you-” He was going to ask something again but was suddenly surprised by Natashia’s movement.
“Whatever.” She cuts her arm off.
“… Eh?” The only one who reacted to this strange situation was Einer.
A few seconds passed, and suddenly her arm that had fallen to the ground dissolves in blood and flows back into her arm again.
“Now I feel better.” She exhibited a small satisfied smile. She finally didn’t feel contaminated anymore!
‘This garbage, I’ll kill him for it in the future, just wait…’
This woman is definitely not right in her head…
“…”
“What?” She looked at the man who was looking at her with a strange look.
“Why did you do that?” He can’t help but ask out of curiosity.
“I felt disgusted when you touched me, so, because of that, I had to rip my arm off. Now that all the impurities from your touch are gone, I feel much better.” She nodded several times in satisfaction.
“…” A vein popped in Niklaus’ head.
“I-.” Niklaus was going to say something again.
“Oh, the game will start in three days, tomorrow I will announce it to everyone from Nightingale.”
But he was interrupted again:
“…Huh?” That was the only thing that seemed to cross Niklaus’ mind.
“The contents of the bet will be as follows, I want the title of vampire count, you must bet that. And, in return, I will stake my Clan’s divine treasure.”
“Wha-.”eyes Niklaus’ opened wide, he couldn’t believe what he was hearing right now.
“Yes, I have a divine treasure that was created by the dwarves of Norse mythology. Actually, the treasure is not mine, it’s my mother’s, but as I’m her heir, it’s mine now.”
Rumble, Rumble!
Natashia’s body begins to crackle with lightning.
“The game starts in three days, don’t forget… Ah, no need to wash the mansion. Since you guys moved in, I’ll make sure to burn it all down and build a new one.
“I’ll talk to you guys later.”
BOOOOOOOOM!
Natashia ascends to the skies and, when she got high enough, she flew towards somewhere.
“…” An uncomfortable silence fell in the room.
Einer silently looked up into his father’s face, which was covered in popping veins.
“That bitch, she wouldn’t let me say anything.” Surprisingly, he said it out loud while looking very frustrated.
“…What are you going to do, Father?” Einer seemed to ask carefully. After all, his father’s mood was not so good now.
“I will accept, of course, I can’t refuse in the face of a challenge. That’s the rule of being a vampire count.” Niklaus turned around.
‘And the content of the bet isn’t too bad either, but…’ He looked at his hands a little and realized that it was still damaged.
‘That woman seemed to have gotten stronger, so I need to be careful when facing her… In the latter case, I can use ‘that’ although… The king will definitely attend this event since, unlike before, it will be two older vampires fighting.’ Niklaus’ head started to spin, thinking of several things he should do and plan.
But he also didn’t forget something:
“Einer, now that you’ve woken up, pack your things and come to the lab, I need to update you.”
“Yes, Father.”
…
As she flew through the Nightingale sky.
Natashia was thinking of something.
‘I solved this problem. Now… I must fetch the treasure that is in my daughter’s possession, and afterwards, I must go back to the game…’ She flashed a loving smile. ‘I will be able to see my husband!’
‘Ah, but first, I must warn them about the game against that old man.’ Natashia looked at a building and then descended from the sky towards that building.
She then entered the building casually.
“Wha-”
“Countess AnnatashIa Fulger!”
“Tsk, Tsk. I’m an Ex-Countess now… For now, that is.” She displayed a small evil smile at the end.
“!!!” The vampires in the building’s eyes widened in surprise.
“That means-.” A vampire was about to say something, but he was interrupted by Natashia.
“Bitches, I came here to let you know that there’s going to be a game between Clan Horseman and me. So put that all over the papers, okay?”
Seeing the gaze of the vampires, Natashia nodded in satisfaction.
“Good, I’m leaving now.”
Rumble, Rumble.
Natashia disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the only thing everyone could see was the lightning trails that were left behind, but they soon disappeared.
“…” This woman, can’t she listen to people!? Some people wanted to scream it.
“WHOAAAAAA, this is great news! Put it in all the newspapers now! Make the headline as sensational as possible!” The vampire in charge of the newspaper Natashia visited was very excited.
“YEAH!” Everyone was influenced by his excitement.
…
Again in the skies of Nightingale…
‘Okay, I solved this problem… Now, I must visit my husband!’
‘I mean, I must get my family’s treasure!’
‘But visiting my husband is more important!’
Suddenly Natashia stops flying while she looks at the clouds with a strange face.
“Where is my husband’s house again?”
“…” A moment of silence fell around.
Natashia’s brain was spinning at an amazing speed, and in the end, she decided something.
She looks towards Snow Clan territory.
“That woman must know.”
If you don’t know something, just ask the one who does! That was her thinking!
Rumble, Rumble.
Natashia flies towards Snow Clan territory.
BOOOOOOM! BOOOOOOM! BOOOOOOM!
Three sonic booms were heard as she accelerated even faster.
‘Agnes, I will visit you, Bitch!’
Chapter 200: Discoveries.
Unaware that one more troubled person was coming to visit him, Victor was currently in the basement of a church operations base in Texas.
Violet, June, Eve, and Bruna were helping Ruby get everything she wanted.
Victor was accompanied by Sasha and Kaguya, who intelligently ran away from the girls. After all, they are the women who are quite useful in that kind of situation.
Sasha, who used the power of lightning, could enhance herself with her power and get things done at high speed, so she was very useful in streamlining the process of collecting little things and packing everything they needed.
By contrast, Kaguya could put the big things in her shadow; although the girls didn’t know if Kaguya had an exact limit on how many things they could put in her shadow, it would definitely help take the big pods.
But if it was so easy for them, why didn’t they help at all?
Well, they didn’t want to work…
It’s not that they didn’t want to help the girls. Far from it, they were super happy to help the girls, but they were pretty sure if they stayed in that place, the girls would abuse their powers.
The girls would treat them both like workhorses, and because of that, they ran away!
Definitely not because they wanted to be close to Victor.
And definitely, it wasn’t because they were lazy.
Trust me, for I am the voice of God.
Cough. The narrator cleared his throat, returning to the story.
“Master? Why are you standing there looking at the wall?” Kaguya asked with a neutral look as she looked at Victor.
“Hmm…” Victor didn’t say much and just made a sound like he was thinking about something.
Victor was currently staring at a wall of ice with a thoughtful look on his face. The entire basement had been frozen by Victor, and because of that, the room itself felt like everyone was in a freezer.
Sasha could warm herself using the power of her lightning, how was she doing that? Well, she was just going to use her power to run around, and it would warm her body.
Kaguya could go into Victor’s shadow anytime, and so, because of that, the girls weren’t worried about the cold.
But that didn’t mean they weren’t cold…
“Did you find something, Darling?” Sasha asked Victor, as she seemed to trust Victor’s special vision a lot.
“Hmm…” Victor kept making these sounds as he stared at the wall while he seemed very focused.
“Master?” Kaguya called Victor again, but just like the other times, he didn’t seem to be listening.
“…?” Kaguya and Sasha looked at each other blankly. Why isn’t Victor responding to them?
Suddenly, Victor crouched down, and he touched the bottom of the wall with his fingers and, seeming to find something, he lifted one of his fingers upwards, and then pure fire started coming out of his fingers.
“…” Kaguya and Sasha looked at Victor curiously, wondering what he was doing.
Victor adjusted the power of fire he was using on his fingers so that the flame pierced like a blowtorch.
And as if he were a seasoned pro, he started using his finger to drill symmetrically into the wall.
“…” Sasha and Kaguya didn’t know what Victor was doing, but they couldn’t help but be impressed with this way of using the power of fire. They’d never seen Agnes, Violet, or anyone from the Clan Snow use fire that way.
Usually, they’d only seen the two of them use their power to wreak havoc on a large scale or to burn someone alive, something Victor did in fights where he fights using the power of fire.
They had never seen this practical way of using that power. Wasn’t it like he was a human torch?
“HmmmHmmm.” Victor seemed to be singing a song while cutting the wall with his finger, he cut the wall with a drawing of a door, and in less than two minutes of delicate work, he said:
“Done.”
Victor got up from the floor, placed his hand gently on the wall, and soon a cold air came out of his hand.
A kind of ice hook came out of Victor’s palm and pierced the wall on the other side, and then, with some force, Victor pulled the wall.
‘This is bigger than I thought.’ Victor knew the wall was thick, but he didn’t expect it to be that big. So what were they hiding behind that wall?
Somehow he couldn’t help but be curious about it.
Clap, Clap.
Hearing the girls clapping, Victor looked at the girls with a confused look. Why are they clapping all of a sudden? Has this turned into some kind of show?
“…Oh, don’t bother with us, we were just curious about what you were doing…” Sasha spoke for herself and for Kaguya.
Understanding that the girls were curious, Victor said:
“It’s no biggie, I just found this wall weird, and when I looked through the wall with my eyes, I found a secret passage.” Victor didn’t tell them everything. He hid the fact that, like some parts of this underground, he could see that, behind this wall, there was only ‘darkness’, which meant something was blocking his view.
But how did he notice this place? Well, even though it was completely dark, he could still see a small red gap.
Looks like someone didn’t do the job of hiding what was behind that wall properly.
‘Or is it because the place is abandoned?’ Victor thought.
Despite having a few scientists working in this underground, Victor realized that an installation of this size would need a lot of people to keep this place going.
And because of that, he deduced that this place is abandoned.
Another question that Victor had was: Why did that man invite Maria to come to this place?
It was like he was begging something like;
“Please look at my research, look at my secret laboratory!”
Victor knew he was overreacting, but that was the feeling he got.
“Secret passage…?” Sasha’s eyes sparkled a little as she looked excited.
Victor woke up from his thoughts and said, “Yes, come with me.”
Victor walked through the door he created and started walking forward.
“…” Kaguya and Sasha looked at each other again and seemed to be wondering what they should do.
But since they were already here, they decided to go ahead and follow Victor.
Kaguya and Sasha started to follow in Victor’s footsteps, who was walking around with his eyes glowing blood red, while he seemed to be looking around like a country boy who had visited the big city for the first time.
They entered a dark room, but, as creatures of the night, darkness wasn’t an issue.
Victor stopped walking and looked up, where he saw several chandeliers with candles on the ceiling, and with a snap of his finger…
Fushhhhhhh
The whole place was lit up.
“What is this place?” Sasha asked curiously as she looked around. Did they seem to be in some kind of aisle in a church?
“This place looks pretty old,” Kaguya spoke while looking at the pillars of this place.
“Do you know something, master?”
“Umu.” He looked at the girls and said, “I have no idea.” He spoke with such convincing certainty that it was as if he really didn’t know anything.
“…” Of course, Kaguya and Sasha didn’t believe Victor, why didn’t they believe him?
“My vision is being blocked, and I can’t get much information..” Victor spoke with a smile on his face.
Looking at Victor’s smile, the two women thought; ‘He definitely knows something.’
He couldn’t deceive them! This trick is old!
…But the truth was, Victor really didn’t know anything… He was just excited since he was feeling very adventurous right now.
As if he owned the place, Victor started walking with a small smile on his face, and as he walked, he kept looking around.
Sasha and Kaguya started following Victor again as they looked around.
Suddenly Victor’s smile died, and he seemed to remember something, “Oh, I forgot to say, this place has-.”
Click, Click.
Kaguya and Sasha seem to have stepped on something.
“Eh-…?” The two were surprised.
Sasha looked down and said, “Fuck.” Her eyes suddenly glowed golden yellow, then her perception of the world began to slow down.
Rumble, Rumble.
Lightning began to cover her body.
“…” Victor exhibited a small smile when he saw Sasha’s reaction, since, just like her, he also has the power of lightning, and because of that, he could see clearly what she was doing.
In the time it took to blink, Sasha grabbed Kaguya and stood beside Victor.
And, when she reached Victor’s side, they heard the sound that seemed to come from a gun.
Bang, Bang, Bang!
“Sigh, I was rushing for nothing, it was just a gun…-” Sasha was about to keep talking.
But suddenly, Victor touched her shoulder and pointed to a spot.
“…?” Sasha looked at Victor and then looked where he was pointing, and soon her face darkened.
Although it appeared to be a gun sound, what came out of the trap was some type of huge spike that was covered in strange runes.
“What the fuck is this?” It was definitely not designed to kill humans!
“Are you guys okay?” Victor asked.
“Yes…” Kaguya said while Sasha nodded, and then Kaguya looked at Sasha and said:
“Thank you, Lady Sasha.”
“… It’s nothing.” She displayed a gentle smile, “If something happened to you, I would be sad, and so would my husband.”
“…Oh.” Kaguya exhibited an imperceptible small smile.
“…” Victor displayed a faint happy smile when he saw the interaction of the two women, and then he walked towards the spike.
He looked like a very experienced rogue as he walked around avoiding any traps, as he brought his face close to the spike, and saw the runes carved into the spikes.
“Interesting…” Victor noticed something while watching the runes. He couldn’t ‘see’ the spike and the runes in his blood world, and it was as if this object that was in front of him now didn’t exist, which was impossible. After all, he was looking at the object, he was sure that object existed.
“Runes?” Sasha, who at some point got close to Victor, said.
Victor looked at Sasha and then looked back at the place where she was previously, he was looking for Kaguya, but he couldn’t find her.
[I’m here, master.]
“Oh.” Victor understood what happened now, Sasha used her lightning, and Kaguya went into his shadow.
“Do you know what this is, Honey?”
“I don’t know, but…” Lightning started to appear in Sasha’s hands, and soon two daggers appeared.
“Aren’t they similar?”
“Hmm…” Victor observed the runes with his gaze, and, unlike the spikes, Victor could see the daggers in his blood world.
“Can I try?”
“Sure.” Sasha handed the daggers to Victor.
But just as Victor went to grab the daggers, something happened.
The daggers emitted golden lightning and rejected Victor’s approach.
“Oh?” Victor withdrew his hands.
“…” Sasha looked at all of this with her mouth open. It happened differently than she imagined.
“Why can’t you use the daggers?”
“Umu, maybe because I’m not the descendant of your clan?” Victor thought aloud, but he wasn’t sure if that was it.
“But can’t you use lightning?” Sasha turned her head confused, as she looked very cute now.
“Hmm… What happened to me was something more like.”
Victor made two air quotes with his hand and said, “My blood selfishly devoured your blood, Violet’s, and Ruby’s, and absorbed the characteristics of your blood for me.”
“Oh…”
Kaguya came out of Victor’s shadow and stood beside him:
“That means Master is not the descendant of your Clan, he just greedily stole your power.”
“As expected from my master! He’s an abnormal being, he’s accomplished the feat of ‘stealing’ 2000 years of efforts from the Clans of the Counts of Vampires.”
“An abnormal being indeed.” She nodded her head several times.
Victor’s eyes narrowed a little, “…That’s one way of saying it.”
Victor looked at Sasha and waited for her answer:
“Well… I think so?” Sasha wasn’t sure. She just knew that daggers only accepted being wielded by Clan Fulger descendants, and if they rejected Victor, it’s because he’s not her Clan descendant.
“Anyway, let’s keep walking, follow in my footsteps-” Victor was about to say something, but suddenly Sasha jumped up and wrapped her arms around his neck, and Kaguya stepped into Victor’s shadow.
“Carry me!” She demanded with a happy smile on her face.
Victor showed a small smile and held Sasha like a princess, “…My wife is very spoiled sometimes.”
“What? You do not like it?”
“I did not say that.” He hugged Sasha and kissed her mouth.
