Chapter 1097 Battle Continues

Krana’s eyes went wide as well as everyone else who had been watching this event. No one expected that after Alucard tasted Krana’s blood something like this would happen to him.

“Wait… He just turned to stone?” Nitra asked in disbelief.

Liang nodded, “Yeah, it looks like it. Considering her abilities, it seems logical. However, it’s still strange… Alucard has the highest resistance to various negative effects. Even the strongest poison is unable to harm his body, he doesn’t even need to use his regeneration to get rid of it.”

Nila gasped, “Doesn’t that mean Krana’s blood will work on any creature?”

“Sure. I’m not sure if that blood can turn me or someone like Nameless King to stone, but you and anyone below the Transcendence Stage are definitely in danger. It’s a frightening power.” Liang uttered, staring intently at Krana, who was more worried than the rest. Although, this was her blood, but she didn’t want this to happen to Alucard.

True, Liang didn’t need to worry about something like that, but the fact that only Krana’s blood was so powerful could be a big problem.

“Wow… This actually happened?” Wain’s eyes went wide as he stretched out his words.

Marlis slowly nodded with a dazed expression, “It’s just as you say, our eyes aren’t wrong. Damn, do you think if I ask Alucard for some of Krana’s blood for experiments, he’ll give it to me?”

“Hah, sure he wouldn’t.” Osvald chuckled evilly, “Chances are he’ll just listen to you carefully, and after a few scoffs, he’ll refuse. No amount of arguments can change his mind.”

“What…?!” Marlis exclaimed with a great frown, “Don’t you realize that this blood can be extremely useful in alchemy!”

Osvald shrugged nonchalantly, “I realize that, and so does Alucard, but as I said earlier, it’s not important to him. Why would he sacrifice the blood of his pet that he’s done so much for for some potions? He’s immortal, have you forgotten?”

“Indeed.” Sven’s calm voice echoed, absorbing all the attention, “But, I wouldn’t be as adamant as Osvald. You can always try, but the chances of success are actually slim.”

Wain smirked, silently watching Marlis’s reaction. If she had the opportunity, she would have conducted experiments on Krana and Alucard to understand the nature of their abilities.

Unfortunately for her, that was not possible. Given Krana’s unique abilities, it was unlikely that Marlis would be able to defeat her, let alone Alucard.

Gael and Ereg glanced over at each other. When Alucard drank Krana’s blood, they breathed a sigh of relief. Their fight was finally going to continue, but suddenly something else happened that they hadn’t expected.

“What are we going to do?” Ereg asked, looking at Alucard puzzled. He didn’t know how to remove petrification, so figured Gael had some options.

Gael shrugged, “Right now we have to wait. If Alucard can’t figure it out on his own, I’ll help him. As always, though.”

Thus more than ten minutes passed, and all this time among the colosseum only whispers could be heard going around the audience. Everyone had some ideas and suggestions, but no one would interfere with what was going on.

The Beastfolks that had reached Fifth Chronicle, were savvy enough to realize that if anyone would interfere in this it would be Gael and no one else.

“Well… Looks like it’s time for me to kill my friend. As weird as that sounds.” Gael muttered before taking a step forward. 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝑚

He disappeared in a flash of white flame, appearing next to Alucard and Krana.

“You are…?” Krana muttered with a worried expression.

Gael smiled, “Don’t worry, I’m not the enemy. I’m his best friend to be exact.”

Krana gulped, “Can you help him? I tried to heal him, but I failed… My eyes and blood can turn someone to stone, but I can’t reverse it…”

“Yeah, that sounds logical. You have the poison but no cure, it’s a common power formula. Well, I’m here to help, so step back.” Gael shrugged before extending his arm.

“Whatever you say…” Krana timidly took a few steps back. Even though she and Alucard had met less than an hour ago, it didn’t matter. Now, Alucard was the most important person to her since he was the only one.

Whoooooooooooosh.

For the first time since the duel between Gael and Ereg began, Gael’s white flame faded. His aura weakened, tending to absolute zero for a while.

Watching this scene Ereg smirked, he understood what Gael was going to do and it didn’t only relate to saving Alucard.

Their fight had been stopped, interrupted many times, but now they were finally moving forward. Their fight was ready to move on to the next stage.

Alucard was the beginning of this and would be the end.

Faint particles of ash streamed lightly beside Gael, unwilling to leave their creator and lord.

The ash as a living organism hovered around Gael, only to wait for the order of the creature standing on top of this world along with a few others.

“Agh… You have done things your own way as usual and I have to help you again. Considering you are immortal, this circle will never end.” Gael muttered with a bitter smile.

Then, his eyes glittered and all the ash rushed towards his hand in a single stream, squeezing it to the limit.

Thousands of particles intertwined with each other and transformed into a single form, becoming the weapon of the one who bore the title – The Invincible.

A long sword with a double-edged blade, straight and perfect, emitted gray energy ripples through the open space.? The other worlds, along with the voids, felt a slight shiver as the ripples crashed into their protective barriers.

Though this was not Gael’s purpose, by summoning his weapon in open space, he provoked panic in a multitude of zones. None of the creatures living in the voids understood what was happening, but to their blessing, they didn’t have to worry about it.

“Well, well, it’s been a long time since this happened. It brings back memories.” Gael’s gaze grew deeper and more serious.

His hand came into motion, as did his sword, the sharp tip of which could cut through anything. A snow-white plume followed the sword as free and menacing waves, coming only in the path of power, headed straight for Alucard.

Tap.

The ash sword touched Alucard’s rock-hard body, emitting a deafening echo from the contact between the two supreme beings.

Then, Alucard took a step back, brought his arm up to attack, and with the speed of sound thrust his sword straight into Alucard’s chest.

Crack. Crack. Crack.

Under the powerful pressure, cracks spread across the stone shell of the captive Alucard. However, it wasn’t enough for Alucard to get out and breathe again like billions of other living creatures.

Gael had predicted this, as it was only a preparation for the real attack, which would definitely free Alucard.

Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooosh.

The ash sword soared upwards, slicing through everything in front of it, including Alucard and the open space, the thick darkness of which was quickly repairing the damage from the gray blade.

Crackle. Crackle. Crack.

Stone shards flew off to the sides, disappearing into the vast darkness of the open space and revealing Alucard who was hidden beneath them. His body was cut perfectly in two, blood droplets flying off in massive droplets while his body tried to hold itself together in a single form, but it was impossible.

Gael and Liang both wielded swords at the highest level, but there was a critical difference between them. While Liang used his technique and strength, especially hidden within his Form, Gael always did it naturally.

He was an Ashen, so the path of the ashes had been telling him how to attack and control his sword for hundreds of years. Gael was a true master who didn’t make mistakes if possible.

“Hey, hopefully, next time I won’t have to save you too soon. This is starting to get annoying.” Gael smirked before swinging his sword a few dozen times always in a couple of seconds.

Alucard’s body wasn’t split into many parts like it was when fighting against Liang, as there were far more attacks than swings.

Every time Gael’s sword passed through Alucard, particles of ash traveled along with the blade, bringing destruction to Gael’s target.

So… Alucard’s body simply couldn’t withstand such pressure.

Booooooooooom.

With a bloody explosion, Alucard turned into nothingness, all that was left of him were a few clots of blood floating in the open.

Gael sighed, returning his sword to his belt and turning to Ereg. He let him know that now their fight was serious, they were taking it to a whole other level.

Whooooooooooooooooooosh.

At the same moment, the blood clots clumped together, beginning to grow rapidly and taking on a definite shape with four limbs and one head.

Krana’s eyes sparkled brightly, filling with joy when he saw Alucard’s now familiar silhouette.

“Damn… That was dangerous.” Alucard smirked, glaring at Gael with a predatory look.
