Chapter 458: My mother-in-law can't hold back anymore.
"Father!!! NOOO!"
"Damit!" He hit the equipment angrily.
"Cursed invaders!"
"Cursed Adrasteia Bloodline!"
The Son of the Alpha angrily glared at the screen as if etching the image of Rose and the group in his mind, then he looked at the Type 7.
A monster of the highest level, created to kill invaders they call 'Elder Vampires.'
A monster stronger than the Type 6 that was giving the new Count of Vampires trouble.
A monster that needed a Commander rank to unlock.
The Alpha's son was about to click the button that released the monster, and in doing so, he was going to break the rules.
But a voice stopped him.
"Brother, what's going on?"
"..." He stopped his hands, looked towards the entrance, and saw his younger brother.
His gaze softened a little.
"Kal..."
"What's the matter, brother Ken?"
"...."
"... It's nothing-." Ken stopped talking and looked intently at his younger brother.
'He is already 418 years old... He is already an adult... He must know about this.'
Making his decision, he said:
"Father is dead."
"…Huh?"
"Our father died, he died fighting the invaders..." He spoke as he gritted his teeth. The anger he was feeling now was simply... Numbing.
But he needed to calm down, nothing was born of anger, and he would have his revenge.
'Clan Adrasteia...' His hands shook furiously, and his eyes gleamed as he looked at a being completely covered in gold:
'Alucard....'
He took a deep breath and tried to calm down:
"As our father died, according to the law of our customs, when a leader dies, his eldest son must assume the old position…"
"So now, I will be the new leader of the village, and I will be preparing you to be my successor in case I die."
"B-Brother, I don't understand-."
"But you will, and soon, you will learn about the real capabilities of our enemies..." He spoke in a stern tone.
"...."
'I need to find wives and concubines to continue our lineage, and... I need to notify the commander about this event.'
...
BOOOOOOOOOM!
Victor flew towards a building. His condition was simply horrible, and he was disfigured all over, his leg was missing, and a part of his stomach was open.
Yes, he was taking a beating from the monkey.
"Troublesome enemy." He muttered as he gritted his teeth, he was irritated now. This gorilla was just too annoying. Its ability to pause time around him and teleport was a deadly combination for any enemy, but he was especially effective for opponents of velocity.
"Annoying... Annoying..."
Victor was very angry now, and the simple reason for his irritation was that he couldn't hit his opponent.
Despite losing the fight, it's not like Victor hadn't learned about his enemy.
'There is always a delay when time starts to slow down, and the prerequisite for this skill to be active is that the gorilla must be looking at me.'
He also understood how space worked, and it was different from how Clan Alioth used their powers.
Clan Alioth created a passage through space that connected from point A to point B.
It's like a wormhole but more instantly.
On the other hand, this damn gorilla bends space around it and 'repositioned' space somewhere else. It was a pretty interesting concept if Victor must say.
How did Victor find this out?
Victor was one of the only people who knew Natalia's entire skill set since he made sure to learn that because the woman simply became an irreplaceable person both personally and in her usefulness.
She was just too precious, and Victor could understand why Vlad would leave the Alioth Clan at his command alone since that kind of power was just too broken if used correctly.
And Vlad had someone stronger by his side, which was Alexios, the man who held the 'special eyes' of his Clan, proof that he was the leader of that Clan.
This ability was highly coveted by gods, and other beings, so the decision to keep Clan Alioth proved correct. Victor could easily imagine entire Pantheons of Gods hunting Clan Alioth for their abilities.
ROAAAAAAAAAAAR!
A roar, followed by the sounds of a gorilla beating its chest, was heard by everyone around.
Soon this gorilla looked at Victor and displayed a sneer.
A vein bulged in Victor's head as his eyes glowed a brighter blood red.
"That's it, you've pissed me off, you piece of shit." Victor rose from the rubble where he was trapped, leaned on his Odachi, and slowly his transformation from Vampire Count of Clan Fulger began to unravel.
"...I still haven't trained this like the others, but fuck it, I'll wipe that smile off your face." He began to slowly float up to the sky.
"Girls, get off the floor." He gave some advice and smiled with satisfaction as the girls began to float in the air, proof that they were trusting him.
His long black hair began to float upwards, and a red magic circle symbol appeared in his hand.
"Level 2."
FUSHHH....
There was no explosion of power, just a qualitative shift in the air around Victor.
"...This feeling..." Anrietha murmured as she healed Eleanor.
"Is he going to use that form…?" Eleanor commented while still breathing deeply. Despite being tired, she wasn't completely exhausted and could move now.
The technique she used was simply too much of a burden for a 'baby' vampire.
'Tsk, my mother could create several literal mountains and not get tired, but I'm so weak?' She pushed herself a lot, even though she knew she was much stronger than her mother when she was younger. Even though she knew her mother could only create literal mountains when she reached the eldest vampire state, she still wanted more.
She wanted to be like him...
Eleanor's eyes gleamed slightly.
"Let's cool things down a bit, shall we?
ROARRRRRRRRR!
The gorilla roared and teleported in front of Victor, it didn't know what was happening, but it wouldn't sit around while letting its enemy grow stronger, it was no fool!
Using its giant fists, it attacked Victor's body.
BOOOOOM.
A crash was heard, but the result it had hoped for did not happen.
All it felt was cold... Its hand froze!
It quickly pulled its hand back and saw that its opponent had turned even paler, cold air was coming out of his body, and his long black hair had turned snow white.
"How did you do it!?"
"...Oh? You can talk..." Despite the initial surprise, Victor quickly recovered. He also had a gorilla who could talk, you know!?
"Answer me! How did you freeze space!?"
"It's no big deal, I just concentrated all my power in front of me. I don't have the delicate control of my master who is able to freeze space as if she were a literal Goddess... But I do have power to spend."
His red eyes began to glow, and his smile grew distorted.
"So much power."
FUSHHHHHHHH!
A pale blue pillar rose towards the heavens.
...
"Hmm?" Rose, who had just defeated the Alpha, looked towards the pillar of power, and soon her eyes widened.
"Clan Scarlett too…?"
'If we follow the same logic, then he can access the Vampire count form of Clan Fulger, the son of a bitch has the power of three bloodlines within him, and not to mention he's a damn Progenitor.' Unconsciously, she started cursing Victor.
After all, his existence was simply against the rules, he took the common sense concept and called it his bitch, and now he could do whatever he wanted.
"How can the world allow such an irregular being to be born...?" Rose stopped thinking bullshit and disappeared from where she was, heading back to town.
...
"Come on, you pigs, my disciple could take much more than that, and he didn't cry! He always had a smile on his face!" Scathach yelled as she looked at the group of royal guards who were undergoing literal torture in the form of training.
"He's a damn monster..."
"He's a masochist..."
"Why are we going through this..."
"I want my mother."
"Idiot, you ate her this morning, are you missing it already?"
"Yes, she was looking forward to having another child-...Wait, how do you know that!?"
"Because I was watching." He commented with a red flushed face, "I was on the roof next door."
"... That's it, I'm increasing surveillance of my house."
"Idiots, stop talking, and train harder!" Scathach stomped to the ground as her eyes gleamed menacingly.
"YES!"
When Scathach nodded in satisfaction, she suddenly felt a sense of 'familiarity' over a very great distance.
"Hmm?" Looking in that direction, even though she couldn't see anything, she could feel something there.
It was the same feeling she got when Ruby used her Vampire Count power.
And as far as she knew, there were only two people besides her daughter who had the Scarlett Clan bloodline.
Siena, who was a more diluted bloodline that she'd gained due to certain events, and...
"...Victor?"
Focusing her attention even more on that place, she felt as if her attention was being sucked in that direction.
Her body shuddered a little, and she took a few deep breaths, inhaling the air around her, she felt her leg twitch, and the desire to fly in that direction took over her body.
Even though her body was acting like it was in heat, her mind was pretty clear, something she'd learned from years of suffering from bloodlust.
'This feeling, he awakened his Vampire Count form, and, because of that, my body is acting like this...'
Unlike Clan Fulger and Snow.
Scathach Scarlett reached the full potential of her bloodline. Even though that potential had been increasing and growing by leaps and bounds thanks to her son-in-law's blood, it was still a fact that she had reached her full potential.
And when a Noble Vampire reaches the full potential of her bloodline, 'unconsciously' she looks for beings like her... and because of that, her body was like this.
...
..
.
Yes, that explanation was bullshit. She was just excited and wanted to visit a certain man, but she was too proud to admit it.
But it was still a fact that she felt the 'familiarity' with Victor, and this is due to the fact that Victor had her bloodline in his body.
Scathach's eyes gleamed fiercely, and the phrase Natashia spoke was repeating like a broken record in her head.
Scathach tried... She really tried...
But...
She couldn't hold back anymore...
Her instinct wanted it, she wanted it, her insides wanted it, her emotions wanted this.
An Elder Vampire felt things even more strongly than a baby Vampire or an adult Vampire, and she held back for too long, her self-control was surreal...
But... Upon feeling that 'feeling', she couldn't hold back anymore. Now her own blood wanted it too, her whole existence wanted it.
And she wouldn't hold back anymore.
"...Keep training on what I taught you. You will be free in a week, if I hear that any of you have gone soft..." She looked at the group, and due to her excitement, her eyes were shining even more fiercely.
Something that, from the perspective of the Vampires around her, meant just a pure threat. After all, they treated Scathach's existence as another being and not a woman. She was just too scary.
"Yes! We will not falter in training!" They all spoke in unison.
"Good." She smiled coldly and kicked off the ground into the sky.
"Scathach-."
"Fuck you, Vlad." She created a small ice shelf, and using that as a boost, she flew in the direction of where she felt that sensation.
BOOOOM X10
A sonic boom was heard, and soon the woman disappeared from everyone's sight.
"…I was just going to ask how the training was going. Why is she so pissed off?" Vlad felt wronged now.
