Nameless King

“Oh… Do you want to fight? Well, it should be curious.” Alucard said in a calm voice as he let some of his aura out.

Alia took a few steps back as she touched her lips and muttered inwardly, ‘Sir wants to fight him…? Sir has never lost… but such an opponent… it shouldn’t happen!’

‘Hah, looks like Lord is bored too. Well, I hope a random attack doesn’t kill me.’ Krakos said to himself as a smirk appeared on his face.

Each Progenitor had a Title that denoted their unique achievement, incomparable to anything else. Alucard was in fact immortal, the only such creature while Gael was considered one of the strongest since he had never lost to anyone.

“You are Invincible, but that doesn’t mean you always win, does it?” Alucard uttered with an indifferent look as he grabbed Geal’s sword with his hand.

Suddenly a wave of the flame passed over the sword as particles of flame ignited, so because of the incredible heat, the skin on Alucard’s hand began to burn as well as his flesh. However, this terrible pain didn’t seem to bother him at all, as he had long since become accustomed to the feeling.

“Yeah… Unfortunately, you’re right. No one could beat me, but I couldn’t beat everyone, either. I fought a Nameless King once, so… then we had to end on a draw just like we did with the Dragon Progenitor, that old man made me try so damn hard.” Gael said with an excited look as momentous battles were literally everything he lived for.

“Hah, okay, let’s not take too long. Just a few attacks will suffice since not all the Progenitors have lived to see this moment.” Alucard said with a slight smile on his face as his eyes grew deeper.

“What…? What are you talking about?” Gael asked with a dazed look as Alucard’s last words puzzled him.

“I’ll tell you when we’re done. Some things have changed in the last five hundred years, or rather they’re changing right now.” Alucard grinned as he stepped forward.

He turned in a flash as a moment later his hand went to Gael’s neck. Seconds ago Alucard’s arm had been nearly burned, but now there were no wounds on it, he had just healed his wounds in a heartbeat.

Gael’s pupils narrowed as he swung his sword. Several waves of flame erupted outward, cutting Alucard into several pieces as several wide crevices appeared on the ground behind him as each of Gael’s attacks had crushing power.

‘Unbelievable… Sir, it only took one second to do this to the Vampire Progenitor himself, can anyone else have this kind of power…?’ Alia muttered inwardly as she placed her palm on her chest.

‘Hah, looks like Lord actually decided to have some fun.’ Krakos grinned with crossed arms as a smirk appeared on his face.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

Suddenly scarlet threads emerged from Alucard’s wounds a moment later he was whole and completely unharmed again.

“Not bad, but I thought you’d take a few more swings in a second, or do you just like the number seven?” Alucard uttered in a quiet voice as he tilted his head.

Whoooooooooohs.

Alucard appeared right in front of Gael as his hand, covered in a thin layer of blood, reached Gael’s shoulder, leaving a long cut on it that gushed scarlet blood.

At the same moment, Alucard jerked aside and swung his arm as all the blood from the wound came rushing straight for him.

It was Progenitor of Ashens blood, so it could easily burn even a creature on the Demigod Stage with a simple touch, especially if it was a vampire, but that didn’t matter to Alucard.

He took a sip of the blood burning his throat and felt intense heat throughout his body. A torrent of white flame burst from his eyes that should have killed him, but as soon as Alucard sighed everything came back to normal as the wounds disappeared.

“Agh… The blood of Axalts is like a refreshing stream of wind or a bundle of mint while yours is comparable to the hottest pepper in the world. Hah, during a fight it’s just what you need to warm up!” Alucard exclaimed with a mad smile as his aura increased several times.

‘Sir was wounded…? Alia muttered inwardly while in disbelief, ‘Damn… Sir’s attacks have crushing power, but he doesn’t have the regeneration of this monster…’

Whoooooooosh.

Alucard’s hair soared upward, his eyes sparkling as he faced Gael with a ferocious look like a wild beast.

His hands were covered in a thick layer of dark blood as they stabbed like spears into Gael’s chest. Gael’s body had been through thousands of fights and had been trained for hundreds of years, so even Alucard had trouble piercing his chest.

Gael swung his sword as Alucard lost his arms, they just flew aside.

“Hey! You don’t have to upset me! Is that really all you can do?!” Alucard exclaimed with an exciting expression as though his severed hands didn’t bother him at all.

Crackle.

The hands exploded as the blood turned into two sharp blades that instantly rained down on Gael.

He had no choice but to swing his sword, destroying the blade into tiny shards, but suddenly streams of scarlet blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

Gael’s gaze lowered as his eyes went wide.

Alucard’s hands were elbow-deep in Gael’s chest as streams of his blood flowed down and scorched the ground.

“Sir!!!” Alia exclaimed with a panicked look as a sword appeared in her hand and she went to help. 𝒃𝒆𝙙𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Whooooooooosh.

Krakos appeared in front of her, with a smooth movement knocking the sword out of her hands and dropping her on the ground, breaking her hands behind her back.

“Hah, just now you were afraid to even come near my Lord, but despite that, you rushed to help. That’s commendable.” Krakos said with a smirk on his face as he leaned into Alia’s ear and whispered, “However, there is nothing to worry about. Is your faith so weak? Don’t forget, the one you follow has never lost.”
