A man… Wrong, a monster with long black bat wings, a spiked tail, and an all-black body was holding a woman by the neck.
His skin was a dark gray, his eyes were blood red, and claws could be seen on his hands.
Cough.
Natashia coughed up blood on the floor.
“Mother!” Sasha cried out in concern when she saw the man’s claw piercing Natashia’s heart.
“Piece of shit.” She roared, “Get your filthy hands off me!” She raised the golden sword, the sword covered in the signature lightning of her clan, and with a wave of her hands,
She cuts off the man’s arm.
She tried to remove the man’s arm from her chest, but…
“…Huh…?”
“Tsk.” Scathach wore an annoyed face. She didn’t like where this was going at all.
The sword simply stopped at the man’s skin and didn’t cut anything.
“Surprised?”
Natashia looked uncomprehending as suddenly her vision started to blur, and her world started to spin.
“…W-What happened…-”
“I think you are, but… It’s too bad you can’t show it to me.” He punched the woman in the face.
Crack, Crack.
The skull of the woman’s face sunk in, and she blacked out.
But even though she was unconscious, she never let go of her sword.
Soon the vampire’s incredible regeneration started to take effect, but it seemed so slow…
Her face began to slowly heal, and she woke up.
“Despite having my poison, the regeneration is still active… As expected, I need more updates, that’s still not enough…” He started to whisper to himself in a low tone.
But as Natashia was close to him, she could clearly hear what the man was saying, but…
The man’s voice sounded quite far away to her. It was like an echo coming from a place so far away that she had no idea what he was talking about, her eyes started to get lifeless, and…
The sword dropped from her hand.
A small smile appeared on the man’s face, suddenly he appeared in front of the woman and attacked her heart again.
Soon he pulled out the woman’s heart and threw her to the ground like she’s a piece of trash.
BOOOOOOM!
A spider web-shaped crater was created.
Crack, crack.
Cough.
Sounds of bones breaking could be heard, and it didn’t take a genius to know that every bone in her back was completely broken.
And not just the bones were broken.
The woman’s golden armor broke completely, and soon the white bra she was wearing was shown to everyone.
“OHHHHHHH!” Some men in the audience reacted to this scene and felt sadistic pleasure to see that irrational woman in such a state.
“Good work, Count Niklaus! We believed in you!”
Agnes looked at the audience with her eyes glowing gold as she raised her hand.
Fushhhhhhhhhhhhh
Soon a fireball was created and, even though the fireball was small, it was very hot!
It was like she was holding a mini sun!
“…She’s not going to do that, right?” Natalia asked with a strained smile.
“Yes, she will.” Adonis replied with all the certainty in this world. He knew his wife very well.
And just as Adonis predicted. Agnes threw the fireball into the audience!
FUSHHHHHHHH
The fireball was approaching with ridiculous speed!
“What!?” The vampires didn’t have a chance to react; they didn’t have time to flee, as the fireball was already reaching the audience.
But before the fireball reached the audience, the woman clenched her fist, and the fireball disappeared as if it never existed.
Gulp.
Everyone on that side of the audience gulped.
For a moment, they could actually feel death approaching their necks!
If that fireball hit them, nothing would be left to tell the tale!
“You pieces of shit, you’re lucky. Really lucky.” As a countess, she couldn’t commit such an act in front of the king, especially not when there were a lot of non-vampire groups watching.
‘If the king wasn’t here, everyone would burn.’ Agnes particularly had a neutral opinion of Natashia, but… As a female companion and a long-time acquaintance, she was uncomfortable with the gazes of these insects.
“Mad woman, what are you planning to do! There are innocents here!”
Nod, Nod.
Some men quickly nodded in agreement with the man, they did nothing!
They also wouldn’t admit that they felt a little happy to see that woman being treated like that.
“HMMMM?” Her face said: I don’t give a fuck.
“…” The men were speechless. Despite not having said anything, they understood the woman’s message very well.
“Look, he’s doing something.” Suddenly a woman on the other side of the arena spoke.
All eyes in the audience are focused on the arena again.
Niklaus lifted the woman’s heart, and it burst, then all the blood contained in her heart dropped into his throat.
“Indeed. You have delicious blood…as expected of an older vampire.” The man seemed to taste the woman’s blood, and an expression of ecstasy covered his face for a few seconds.
“I want more…” A black miasma began to leave his body, and a predatory smile appeared on his face as he looked at the motionless woman.
He raised his claws and attacked the woman!
He cut her into pieces, hands, legs, chest, and head. Everything was completely separated from the woman’s body, as a bloody mess was being created, while he had a maniacal smile on his face.
“MOTHER!!!”
Rumble, Rumble!
Sasha’s body was covered in lightning, and her appearance changed.
“Oops, I can’t… I have a job to do…” He walked towards the woman, and as he walked towards her, he created a black sword with his powers.
‘An obstacle must be eliminated, and by doing so, I will be closer to my goal.’
“Stop, don’t interrupt.” Adonis appeared in front of Sasha, who was completely transformed into her Vampire Count form.
“Huuuh?” Sasha wasn’t in a good mood. Her eyes gleamed dangerously, and she was in a state where she didn’t care that the person in front of her was her childhood friend’s father.
‘I won’t lose another family member again!’
Rumble, Rumble.
The lightning that enveloped Sasha began to crackle louder.
“Father, Sasha…” Violet seemed unsure what to do. On one side was her father, who she liked a lot, and on the other side was her friend; she was in a difficult position.
“The game isn’t over… Remember, it’s a fight to the death, both of you agreed to that.”
“You think I care!? It’s my mom who’s lying there and about to be killed!” Sasha screamed, her voice coming out like the crack of lightning.
“…” A moment of silence fell in place, and for the first time in Violet’s life, she saw something that shocked her.
“You do not understand!?” Adonis lost his gentle face and spoke in a serious voice, the man’s eyes changed to blood red, and he stared at Sasha.
“By interrupting the duel, you’re basically stepping on the pride of two Vampire Counts! Two elder vampires! Who do you think you are, child!?”
A frightening pressure left Adonis and went toward Sasha.
“Ugh…” Sasha fell to the ground as she felt the pressure on her body. Despite being sick and weakened, the man in front of her was still an elder vampire.
Wrong, the man in front of her was still a countess’s partner.
Her transformation was undone, and she dropped to her knees.
“I ask…”
A cold pressure covered the entire room.
Suddenly everyone heard a cold voice, and they looked towards the entrance to the room.
And standing at the entrance to the room was Ruby… And she looked quite different…
Her long red hair was bigger by almost the same length as Violet’s hair, she got a little taller too, an aura of ‘adult’ was emanating from her body, and not only that…
“Who are you to raise your voice to Sasha?” The woman’s eyes glowed a deep red.
Crack, Crack.
The entire room began to shake as the two auras clashed.
“S-Sister…?” The sisters could tell with just one look her sister got stronger!
“Ruby…?”
Ruby ignored the girls and kept looking at Adonis with him watching.
“… You came back.” Adonis spoke in a nonchalant tone and didn’t seem affected at all.
But even so, she was no match for an elder vampire.
She twitched her brow a little, and her aura got even stronger!
A small drop of blood threatened to come out of Adonis’s mouth.
“…” Adonis narrowed his eyes, wiped his mouth, and drew back. He didn’t want trouble, as he just wanted to stop the girl from doing something stupid.
“I don’t want to fight you, I just don’t want her to do something stupid. What do you think would happen if she jumped in the middle of the arena?”
“That’s not your problem.” Ruby replied in an indifferent tone as she approached Sasha and helped the woman to her feet.
“Thanks…Ruby…” Sasha was still surprised by Ruby’s changes.
Suddenly her eyes lit up, “My mother!”
Ruby suddenly hugged Sasha, “Shhhh, don’t worry, she’ll be fine.” She spoke as if it was an absolute truth, like she was very confident.
“H-Huh…?”
Adonis and the girls around him watched all this in silence, but their silence didn’t last long when Adonis asked:
“How did you get stronger in such a short time?”
“…A short time, huh?” She whispered in a low voice and didn’t respond.
Suddenly Violet’s eyes widened, “Wait, if Ruby is here…”
“FATHER!” Ophis’s bored face seemed to brighten, and she quickly looked up.
Suddenly, a dark pressure fell on the entire royal capital.
“… What a delay, I was almost getting bored.” Vlad flashed a small smile.
‘…He came, huh…?’ Theo thought, his eyes gleaming with a slight annoyance that was gone the moment he appeared.
“That man…” Lilith looked at him with curious eyes.
“Ugh… He’s here, I thought it was going to be a quiet game…” Elizabeth whispered, though …
She looked at her father and at her older brother Theo. She also looked at Alexios, who at some point had his eyes open, showing those scary eyes to her.
‘What is happening?’ She felt like something was happening right in front of her, and she couldn’t understand it.
“…” Alexios, who was looking at the man in the sky, displayed a small smile, and soon he closed his eyes.
“Oh…?” Scathach flashed a small smile when she saw Victor, “You came back, my stupid disciple, but isn’t that much faster than you promised…?”
Her smile died when she saw Victor’s changed appearance, and her mood got even worse when she saw Victor’s face. He didn’t have the small smile he always had. He didn’t even have the smile of amusement he had when he saw a strong opponent.
A murderous air began to leave her body, and she turned her gaze to Vlad…specifically, to the golden-haired man beside Vlad.
Violet walked quickly to the window and looked up.
Standing on top of the arena was a tall man with hair as black as night that reached his shoulders, while his eyes were blood red.
“His hair grew…” Violet showed a confused face, suddenly, she felt all of Victor’s emotions, and the only thing he was conveying was:
“He’s angry.” Violet and Sasha spoke at the same time.
Ruby flashed a small smile, “…You have no idea.”
“…” The audience was silent as they looked at the man floating in the air.
They just didn’t know how to react because…
The pressure that was coming out of that man’s body was frightening!
“The four counts are here…” An older vampire spoke with a cold sweat.
He looked at the pillars and saw the two countesses, then he looked at the arena and saw a count and a former vampire count.
… And he looked at the man in the air.
‘Alucard… the youngest Count in history… Why…? Why do you have that kind of aura around you?’ He couldn’t understand. That man’s aura was second to none of the vampire counts present here, and that fact for the older vampire was:
‘This is just bullshit!’
Victor’s eyes gleamed dangerously as he looked at Niklaus.
As Niklaus was about to deliver the final blow to Natashia’s head, lightning struck from the sky, revealing the appearance of a man.
Tink! Crack.
He bit his sword… And the sword disappeared from existence…
“Huh?” Niklaus was surprised when he saw the man in front of him, and he was even more surprised when the man simply ate the sword made of his power.
The man points his palm at Niklaus, “Burn…”
A gigantic beam of fire shot out of the man’s palm.
“UGH!” Niklaus quickly assumed a defensive stance, and soon he was blown away.
“…” A silence fell in the arena and inside the arena.
Victor looked at Natashia.
Victor’s eyes were covered by his hair, but everyone could see his mouth creaking.
He took the woman’s head and held it level with his face.
“Natashia…” Although he spoke in a low voice, everyone could hear his words, as slowly his voice began to rise and with a demonic scream that sent shivers through all the vampires who heard his voice:
“ANNASTHASHIA FULGER!!!”
