Victor was looking at the three brothers, who began to release a pillar of golden and black energy.
'Don't tell me…' He seemed to have noticed something, which caused a visible change in his expression.
"AHHHHHHHHH!" The three men began to scream in pain, and the sounds of breaking bones and rending flesh could be heard.
Crack, crack, crack!
It was a horrible sound, their bones seemed to be being broken into several pieces, and their bodies muscles were suffering from the same process.
Blood began to pour out of all three men's bodies as they screamed in agony. They screamed as if someone had grabbed every bit of flesh on their body and were squeezing and twisting to cause as much pain as possible.
"Hurts! Hurts! Hurts!"
Victor continued watching everything with a neutral gaze, a cold gaze, and an annoyed look on his face. His expression changed emotions several times, but in the end, he only had one predominant feeling.
Rage.
Every time he heard the men's bones breaking, every time he listened to the man's agonized screams, the feeling of anger only increased.
With his special eyes, he could see that the three brothers' auras began to merge, and their bodies warped together as if they were trying to form a single entity.
And he could more or less imagine what was going on in front of him now.
Suddenly.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
An even larger pillar of golden and black energy came out of the men.
"AHHHHHHHHH!" And their cry of pain was heard.
Despite the light show in front of him, Victor could clearly see what was going on with his special eyes.
"Is this your idea!?" He yelled with a visible annoyance on his face, "A hybrid, I accept, they are Mongrels, but at least they still have the slightest conscience, but this!?
"What the fuck is this!?"
Rumble, rumble!
Victor's voice was like the sound of thunder.
"Why is he so upset? I can not understand." James spoke while looking at the monitor
The golden and black pillar disappeared, and soon a ten-foot-tall creature was in front of Victor.
It was covered in dark gray skin with weird tattoos all over its body and two gigantic bat wings erupting from its back.
The creature opened eyes that were completely blood red.
"Now, let's see how you do against this creature, Alucard," James spoke in a cold voice that held a great deal of curiosity. He wanted to see!
He wanted to see the limits of the new vampire count!
ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
The monster roared toward Victor.
But Victor didn't react as the General expected and just looked at the creature with an annoyed look, while he didn't even seem interested in the creature.
Victor's face distorted even more when he heard the creature's roar, as his face began to darken and lose its pale skin, then, as if by magic, a faceless entity with only red eyes and a mouth that showed his sharp teeth was in front of everyone.
"Oh…" The general's smile widened a little.
Victor ground his teeth together, as a dark pressure began to leave his body, he clenched his hands tightly, and then a demonic voice came out of him:
"Is this your idea to test me!?"
FUSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
The voice was so powerful that everyone around him could feel what the man was feeling.
He was angry. He was so angry that mere anger couldn't express his feelings now.
"..." General James raised an eyebrow.
"You make me fight an irrational monster!?"
"An irrational monster!?"
ROOOOOOOOOOARRRRRR!
The monster disappears and then reappears in front of Victor!
Remarkable speed for something its height since it should be too heavy!
"Disappointing!"
BOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Victor punched the monster so hard in the face that the monster collapsed and flew towards the ground.
"Eh…?" That was the only word the General could express for such irrationality. He could accept many things, a vampire count transformation, a special power he had never seen.
But… A punch?
One fucking punch!?
"…What the fuck am I seeing on my screen right now? This has to be an illusion." James opened his mouth wide. It was quite obvious that he hadn't expected this result from one of his plans.
'This experiment has the power of a thousand-year-old vampire, so why did it get knocked away so easily? Why did it lose so easily!? This was not supposed to be happening!' James couldn't understand something very simple.
Everyone knows that in the toughest role-playing games, the most challenging enemies are humanoid enemies, not monsters.
An irrational monster, a monster that doesn't understand martial arts, a monster that doesn't have the ability to think and make decisions like a conscious being wouldn't be able to defeat or even entertain Victor.
The act of transforming the three brothers who had at least had an amount of rationality and ability to act as a group into an irrational monster.
It's basically an insult to Victor. He doesn't want to fight an irrational monster. He wants to fight beings who use tactics, who use martial arts, who use any kind of techniques possible to defeat him!
He wants to evolve when facing stronger beings!
And most importantly, he wants to have fun in this process!
And it is because of that desire that Victor was so furious. He has never been as angry in his life as he is now. The only other time he has ever displayed that kind of anger was when his precious Maid, Kaguya Blank, was seriously injured by a church dog and when he learned that his wife was ambushed by those same dogs.
The humanoid being who could now be called a demon? Or a vampire? A vampire demon?
Victor couldn't tell clearly because its body's aura was in complete chaos since he could see through his eyes that the creature's body was covered in black liquid and the mark of a vampire.
He could no longer see any sign of the human heart that symbolized this creature's humanity.
Anyway, Victor didn't care, as he glared at the monster with a visible look of rage.
Badump, Badump.
Victor's heart starts beating frantically.
ROAAAAAAAAAAAR!
The monster roared towards Victor, and soon a gigantic golden ball of fire came out of its mouth and flew towards Victor.
Victor didn't know the properties of the golden fireball, but he was slightly sure that this fireball was the work of the hunter's powers, something like a purifying flame, a flame made to kill only creatures of the night that were weak to fire... Creatures like vampires.
But he could see that this flame was a little different. He could see a dark power that was leaking from some of the flames, tainting the brilliant golden fire with spots of dullness and shadow, and he was really curious to know what that power was.
But…
That's not what's important right now.
Victor covers his arm with the power of ice and slaps the fireball aside like a bug.
The fireball deflects to the left side and flies in a very distant direction, and quickly hits the ground. And unlike before, the fireball caused a gigantic explosion.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Despite having heard the explosion and feeling the force of the blast in his body, Victor never stopped facing the monster in front of him.
Victor's icy arm melted, and slowly his arm began to turn black and red; it was as if the transformation that had occurred on his face had continued on to cover his arm as well.
"Worm."
Despite having lost all senses, despite having lost all humanity and ability to think, the creature felt something when it looked at Victor.
The creature felt fear…
A fear that reached to the depths of its soul, an instinctive fear, it was as if the creature had encountered a higher entity, an entity it could not understand or comprehend with the rest of the almost non-existent intelligence that existed in it.
Gulp.
Unconsciously, the creature swallows hard and takes a step back.
Victor's glove's magic circles began to glow crazily as if warning that something big was coming.
Victor raises his hand up, and rapidly pure blood begins to gather, and as if by magic, a blood greatsword appears in his grip.
"THAT'S IT!" James opened his eyes wide as he looked at the monitor. He had a shocked face, a face that said that he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
As expected of a stubborn man, Victor completely ignored the warning of Scathach and the king of vampires.
The warning that he wasn't to show that power until he was ready to use it.
But… Victor didn't care, as his whole being was disgusted by the creature in front of him, his entire being screamed for this creature to be eliminated. So, that's what he did:
"Get out of my sight. You're disgusting."
Victor holds the blood greatsword in both hands and swings the sword vertically, lowering the sword almost casually.
And then a massive vertical crescent shaped blood attack flew rapidly toward the creature.
The creature turned to flee, but unfortunately, it was too late, as Victor's attack passed through it and bisected the creature's entire body in half vertically.
Despite being born just seconds ago, the pitiful creature was eliminated from existence by Victor.
As Victor couldn't properly control his power yet, his attack passed through the creature and tore across the land.
As if it were an unstoppable force of nature, his attack began to penetrate Earth's soil without stopping leaving a deep gouge like a scare in the landscape.
"Wha-..." General James couldn't believe what he was seeing now. This attack's destructive power was too ridiculous. "Just how far does this attack go!?"
Only God knows, but he probably wouldn't answer him.
Victor's attack was utterly devastating.
There was no noise like before, there was no explosion, it was like a silent force of nature that cut through everything in its path, that was the kind of power that Victor unleashed now.
The power of Alucard.
The creature's body slid in two as something started happening to the creature's body.
The creature's entire body begins to dissolve into pure blood that rises in streams of dark red and flies towards Victor's body.
Victor undid the blood greatsword as it also dissolves into streams of red, and the blood used to create the greatsword also enters his body.
Victor didn't care about the creature's blood entering his body, as he just looked up at its 'face'.
He pointed his finger at a direction in the sky and spoke in a dark voice that sent shivers through James' soul:
"Record what happened in your memory, and never forget it, because next time…" His eyes flashed blood red.
"Next time, it will be you." A blast of fire shot out of Victor's finger, and soon the fire rapidly spread across the sky.
It was an area attack aimed at destroying anything that was watching him.
Victor wasn't sure if it worked or not, but he had to try, he knew someone was watching him, and because of that, he used the power of fire to burn the whole sky around him.
Victor points his hand away, and then a gust of fire, much like the previous one, comes out of his other hand, throwing more flames into the night sky.
...
Gulp.
James swallowed hard and sat back in his chair with a stunned look on his face.
"This…This…" He looked disbelieving.
"Pfft..." A slight hint of laughter left his face, and then:
"HAHAHAHAHAHA"
"I understand! I understand!" He shouted as he facepalmed.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA," His laugh was crazy, a laugh that held a deep-rooted insanity, a laugh that held fear and despair.
"Everything he's feeling right now… His unnatural power, why he didn't turn into a plebian vampire, his rapid growth…" James looked at Victor again.
"Alucard!" James' eyes flashed bright gold, "Calling you a count is an insult. You are not a count... You are a king... A king who shouldn't have existed."
He gets up from his chair and speaks with an expression that shows his determination:
"I will certainly commit this day to my memory." He clenches his fists tightly:
"Today is a day I will never forget."
"As long as I live, I will remember this day forever…"
"The day I witnessed Alucard's power, an irregularity that shouldn't have existed."
James stops staring at the monitor that is only showing static now and turns around:
"It's time to change plans."
"Minions are not going to be able to defeat that freak. I must create stronger soldiers, smart soldiers, soldiers who can fight that freak face to face and win." He pulls out his black cell phone and looks for a phone number.
"And for these soldiers to be born, I need a new ingredient." He displayed a cold smile.
He clicks on a specific phone number in his contacts, the cell phone starts calling, and soon the call connects:
"We need to talk." General James is silent for the time being, and soon he makes a decision:
"...I will accept your agreement."
