"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:
"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.
