Chapter 448: My will.
A man was running in a cold, dark night. He had the appearance of a tall, muscular man, with several tattoos on his body and, on his head, he sported an incredible bald spot that, given enough light, was able to make the environment glow.
“Huff, Huff .” The man was out of breath. He had been running for some time, and his heart was pounding, he was terrified!
“Fuck, Fuck! This was supposed to be a simple service, enter the place, kill the family and get the money! fuck! Why did it end like this!?”
The man wondered as he leaned against the wall breathing heavily.
The man was a killer, and someone hired him to kill a family.
A simple family, made up of a woman and a man.
Anna Walker and Leon Walker.
A simple couple consisting of a female lawyer and a male bricklayer, apparently this couple had pissed off some wrong people.
The reason didn’t matter, it was easy money, and so he accepted, but in accepting this mission, his fate was sealed.
“I shouldn’t have taken this shit.”
At first, he found it strange.
Why?
He wasn’t the only assassin hired for this mission.
There had been more than 10 killers in the same room, and they planned the murder like he was trying to rob a bank.
And that obviously made his instincts warn him that the mission was not normal, as the couple was related to ‘that side’, commonly called the supernatural side.
And that was when all his instincts were screaming to run away, but he was already too far gone to refuse the request.
He could only blame himself for not having a better information network.
The mission progressed with difficulties, all the vampires were strong, but they managed to kill the vampires with ‘special’ bullets provided by their contractor.
But… Everything started to go off the rails when a group of Maids appeared and surrounded them. They didn’t even feel them appear, they just showed up out of nowhere!
They were all beautiful, especially the two maids with the biggest pairs of breasts he’d ever seen in his life, and he wasn’t the only one who thought so.
But despite finding the women beautiful, he was a killer, and seeing them here only made his instincts scream even more.
They couldn’t move, and the killing intent emanating from these women was horrible, they were monsters!
Especially that woman with red hair and sharp teeth, she’s a bigger monster than all of them put together. Just how many beings did she kill!?
“Ara, this is getting more common than expected.” The woman with long black hair that reached the floor spoke in a melodious tone that made the men’s bodies visibly tremble.
“Master thinks someone is targeting him.” The younger maid spoke in a cool, neutral tone.
“…The problem is who?” asked the blond-haired maid
“Hard to say, he has a lot of enemies, especially after the genocide in Japan.” Answered another woman who had large breasts.
“He offended many races and organizations, I’m still surprised the witches didn’t attack him.” Answered the one with the blond hair.
“Well, as long as that woman has business with him, I think it’s hard for that to happen…” The short black haired girl who looked like a Japanese woman spoke in a neutral tone.
“Even though they won’t attack now, they’ll still want a real ‘reason’, so they don’t lose face or something.” Replied the woman with long black hair.
“Tsk, politics, something I don’t understand.” muttered the red-haired one.
‘Genocide?’ All present were experienced assassins, and seeing the Maids treating them like air and talking just took their danger instincts to another level.
And their simple words sent alerts through the heads of everyone present.
Recorded in history as the greatest offense of all organizations.
The second round of the crimson nightmare.
Count Alucard invaded Japan and killed everyone responsible for the Vampire King’s daughter incident.
An unprecedented genocide, a genocide that destroyed the entire community of supernatural beings in Japan.
Vampires, werewolves, witches, humans, youkai, no one was spared. If you were responsible for the king’s daughter incident, you would die.
If you were innocent, you would live.
A simple equation, an arrogant judgment given to everyone for the single, simple reason that Alucard was strong.
The entire supernatural world trembled at this news, and they trembled even more in fear when the man did not receive any kind of punishment.
Yes, they tried, they definitely tried.
This group of assassins was yet another attempt.
But as always…
The result was a huge failure!
“Well…talk aside, let’s clean up these worms.” The younger girl spoke as dark fire poured out of her hands.
“Don’t forget to leave one for us to interrogate, although I know it will be useless, but it doesn’t hurt to try.” The maid with Asian features spoke in a cold tone.
And when she finished, a massacre took place.
He was the only one who managed to escape, but now he was being hunted.
Step.
“!!!” His body shook as he heard the sound of footsteps, so he gathered his strength and ignored the pain of his wounds and burns, and tried to run.
…Yes, he tried.
A tree branch pierced his stomach and lifted him into the air.
Cough.
“AHHHHHH!”
He spat blood on the ground as he screamed, and his body screamed in pain. Apparently, he was so focused on his body’s pain and trying to run away that he didn’t realize someone was already close to him.
“…Unfortunately, I can’t kill him to be part of my husband’s collection.”
He turned his face and saw the same woman in a Maid’s dress and long red hair, sharp ears, red eyes, and sharp teeth, everything about her screaming that she wasn’t human.
And he was correct.
“Our Head Maid wants to interrogate you, even though she knows it’s useless…” She grabbed the man’s head and pressed her hand to his face.
“But I can make you suffer a little to become more obedient.”
“W-Wait.” The man tried to protest as he looked into those eyes that looked like a crimson black hole that slowly rotated in a spiral.
The woman’s smile grew, and it just showed all her sharp teeth.
“Like this.”
“AHHHHHHHHH!”
…
A few hours later, the Maids had a room. They were sitting on the bed, their positions were spread out, one was lying down, one was sitting, and some were grabbing a man’s body.
This man was reading some books that Aphrodite had given him as a gift, but his reading time was interrupted when his Maids came to report an incident.
Who was this man?
Of course, he was the master of these Maids.
The second progenitor, the fifth Count of vampires, Alucard.
“I see…” Receiving the report from his Maids, Victor couldn’t help but squint.
“Attacks are getting more arrogant, and they’re not caring about stealth anymore.” Roberta spoke as her head rested on her master’s shoulder, while her long black hair was shamelessly caressing Victor’s body as if trying to brand him with her scent.
It had been a while since the Maids had ‘private’ time with their master, and because of that, they were shamelessly enjoying this moment.
Although there were some who were more restrained, like Eve and Kaguya, who were standing by the bed.
“That’s because of the invasion, I think.” Victor spoke as he let his maids do what they wanted, and, of course, he didn’t forget to pat their heads.
“Hehehe~.” Bruna, who was on her other side, just had a silly smile on her face as her hair was stroked.
“…Aren’t you angry, Master?” Maria asked as she lay on Victor’s thighs as if he were a pillow.
Victor’s eyes glowed blood red for a moment, and his ‘poker face’ was nearly destroyed.
Maria just smiled a little when she realized she asked a silly question since he wouldn’t be her master if he wasn’t pissed off right now.
“I am…” It was a simple answer, a statement, but with those simple words, they all felt the weight of his anger.
“But… I can’t lose control and scream like I used to…”
“You are no longer unknown, Master.” Kaguya spoke.
“Both his infamy and fame have spread throughout the supernatural community.”
“And because of that, they will hide… They have no other choice.” Eve continued.
“They will stealthily attack until they gain an advantage.” Roberta continued in a vicious tone.
“Annoying scum only appeared at the end!” Roxanne grunted as she laid her body down in the area of Victor’s groin and belly.
A dangerous place indeed.
“Just as humans adapt and evolve over time, so do these beings. Someone wants revenge on our master, and I have my suspicions it’s not just one person.” Eve spoke.
“You can’t kill so many people and expect to be free of revenge.” Kaguya spoke.
“…Tsk, if master had killed everyone-.”
“I would be no different from a mindless monster.” Victor cut off Roberta’s words.
“….” A silence fell around them.
“Yes, I will kill if someone raises their sword against me. Yes, I will kill if anyone threatens my loved ones.”
“The first sentence is due to Scathach’s philosophy which I fully agree with, if you’re not prepared to be killed, don’t pick up a sword and point it at someone else.”
“Those who take up a sword and kill their enemy must be prepared for their enemy to do the same.”
“…” They all nodded, as that was the first lesson that Scâthach taught them too.
“The second sentence is from my own personality, my love for all of you, and because of that, I spread my influence as far as possible… By controlling everything, I will feel more secure, a thought that Ruby completely agrees with. ”
“…” The girls displayed a small smile when they heard Victor.
“But… Even I have a line I mustn’t cross lest I become a completely mindless monster. And this line is necessary since this line is what forms my hypocritical personality.”
“…What is that line, Master?”
“Children.”
“….”
“You see, children are innocent, and even if I kill a father and a mother because they raised their sword against me, I will not kill their child.”
“That’s my hypocrisy.”
“I know that I must kill the child to avoid trouble, to avoid future revenge.”
“I know better than to let it grow, sharpen its claws, and threaten me or even my family.”
“…But I just can’t.” Victor stroked Roxanne’s head with the same neutral eyes that seemed to be going through various emotions.
“If I step over that line, all the ‘humanity’ I have left will vanish, and I will turn into a heartless monster.”
“Even if we are predators or monsters, we must have a line, an honor.”
“No Honor in killing innocents or children.” Because of this, Victor only killed the culprits in the Ophis incident.
Even though it was troublesome, he did triage and separated the guilty and the innocent. With vampire charm, it was easy enough, everything was just troublesome.
Yes, Victor knew that if he didn’t get rid of those innocents, they might come back to him, but he didn’t care… They weren’t enemies yet, and he did his best to terrify the souls of those beings.
He did his best to send a message.
Don’t fuck with Alucard. He wanted to send the same message that Scathach did to the world.
Why was everyone afraid of pissing off Scathach?
Because she was strong, she blew a country out of existence, but that wasn’t the main reason, any god could do that.
It was because she didn’t care about anything, no matter if you’re a young master, a god, werewolf, vampire, or witch, no matter your race, ethnicity, or what you believed in.
Touch the hairs of someone from Clan Scarlett, and Scathach will pay you a visit, a very bloody visit.
“…But what about those cops?” Maria asked about the incident at Sasha’s mansion.
“Even if they were manipulated, they pointed their weapons at me, they raised their sword, a warrior must know when to retreat and attack, and their lapse in judgment was the cause of their deaths.”
“Do you regret it?” Roberta asked in a gentle tone.
“Not really.”
“I do what I want, when I want, and the time I want.”
“I always try to live by my own will, even if my will is hypocritical or makes me regret it later…” He thought of the time he’d killed Violet and Sasha’s father.
He wouldn’t lie that he wasn’t sorry, but… If given the chance, he would probably do the same thing. He knows himself all too well.
“…Fufufu, at least you know you’re a hypocrite, master.” A melodious and sensual tone echoed, and Victor knew that whoever spoke that phrase was not Roberta but Medusa.
“I have never denied that I was a hypocrite, I am a hypocrite. I will not justify my actions and say, ‘I did it because I had no choice, I did it for you’.”
“I killed those beings in Japan because I wanted to. I could have solved it differently, but I didn’t.”
‘I killed Adonis, and I absorbed the existence of the man, so, even though I was involved at the moment, I made my choice at that time.’
‘I decided. I, Alucard, have decided. And that was my will.’
“And now, the consequences are knocking at my door… And I will deal with them.”
“Fufufu, don’t forget about us, Master.” Roberta commented.
“….” Victor flashed a gentle smile that reached the hearts of all the Maids:
“Of course not. You are my lovely Maids after all.”
“… MASTER!” The five Maids jumped on Victor’s body, only Kaguya stood by in reluctance, but soon she was pulled by Maria’s threads.
‘Maria!’
“Hehehe, enjoy our Head Maid.” Mary laughed.
…
A being completely lacking in appearance was looking in one direction.
“I decided. I, Alucard, have decided. And that was my will.”
“This is how a king should act! HAHAHAHAHA~”
“You are the king of your own free will!”
“Don’t be limited by culture, customs, rules, or the thinking of others! Watch, judge for yourself, and act! Only the one who treads his own path is able to wield that power!”
The lake of blood that was much lower than when it first appeared began to get turbulent as if a storm was about to start.
And the tree that had its branches showing in the sea of blood started to glow brighter, and the blood from the lake started to go towards the tree. It was slow, and the process was terribly slow, but it was definitely starting.
And that made the smile of the being grow into happiness.
“Glad he relearned that lesson from Aphrodite. Why judge the gods with the morals of a human? Thought is incorrect since they exist even before the word ‘moral’ exists.”
Seeing the changes that were happening to his other self, he couldn’t help but say in a solemn tone:
“My other self, you who are walking this path, just don’t forget the lesson that man taught us… A lesson in order and grounds, a lesson in rules and rulers…”
