Chapter 560: A monster that devastated the innocent maiden.
Cough, Cough.
Ariel coughed up golden blood as she was kneeling on the ground, her six wings were draped behind her, and holy blood was pouring from her belly.
She couldn't even form coherent thoughts. Her state was quite precarious, and she was just able to give orders to stop her bodyguards from doing anything to the humans.
Even if she was angry and wanted to make these humans disappear.
The mission given by the General of the Angels, Michael, had priorities above her feelings.
Even for an angel who embodied 'generosity', betrayal was a sensitive topic for angels.
Because they clearly remembered their brothers and sisters who had fallen due to Lucifer's influence.
At this time, angels and humans turned to each other.
The angels quickly got in front of Ariel and surrounded her to protect the woman. The two seraphs were the same, and Zaniel was on guard with a visibly angry face, wanting to burn all the humans in front of her right now while Daniel was trying to help Ariel.
Zaniel hadn't done anything yet because of Ariel's orders. If it were up to her, everyone would already be dead.
"Not yet, Daniel?"
"I can't heal her, the bullet is lodged inside her, and the miasma is corrupting her system."
"She is a virtue, this miasma should be nothing."
"I know... But the miasma's concentration is ridiculous. It seems like it was made specifically to deal with beings like her."
"I can't even get close without getting hurt." Daniel explained patiently as he showed his hand, which was in a decrepit state that quickly returned to normal after a few seconds.
"What should we do then!?" Zaniel screamed in frustration.
A virtue could not die now. The war was just beginning.
"... If we had a way to interrogate that human, we might know what that projectile is."
"..." Zaniel bit her lip.
"All I can say is that they used hell metal, and they put a ridiculous concentration of miasma in this projectile, but what's strange is that even that concentration of miasma shouldn't harm a virtue. They negate any miasma just by their nature of existence."
"Lady Ariel." Leonardo tried to say something, but the two-winged angels shouted with angry expressions.
"Go away! Don't come close, humans!"
Leonardo stopped walking and bit his lip, he must do something fast, or the angels won't be able to trust them in the future.
"Lady Ariel, Lady Zaniel, Lord Daniel, this situation has nothing to do with us. That man was an infiltrator of the demons."
"He was your goddamn assistant general." Zaniel spoke.
"..." Leonardo was silent.
"Those words are not the least bit convincing."
"Keep your distance, don't approach, or we become your enemies." she growled.
Leonardo just nodded and walked away.
The moment Leonardo walked away, sounds of clapping were heard all around.
Everyone turned in one direction and a being standing there with full black armor, long black hair, and violet eyes, next to him was the weapon he used earlier floating harmlessly.
"Hahahaha, it seems like human stupidity is never cured, right? General Leonardo."
"..." The man's face distorted visibly.
Alucard started walking, and as if he were Moses, the humans around them made room for him to pass and didn't even dare to look the tall man in the eyes.
Alucard walked calmly with a small smile on his face.
Far from admiring this man's beauty, all humans were afraid of him.
Alucard brushed past Leonardo, and his shoulder slammed into the man's chest, causing him to overbalance and nearly fall.
Leonardo looked in shock at Alucard, 'Is this man a mountain? His body is so heavy and unyielding.'
Leonardo felt like he was an ordinary human trying to get in the way of a moving truck. It was impossible to stop him.
Alucard walked towards the angels. Unlike humans, the angels didn't open the way, as they faced Alucard coldly, ready to fight, but before they raised their weapons, everyone heard:
"Don't raise your weapons."
"..." All the angels stopped their movements.
"Those who raise their weapons to fight must be prepared for retaliation… It's common sense, right~?" As he walked, Alucard's smile began to widen and became more predatory.
And that sent chills through all the lesser angels, and promptly, they all started making room for Alucard to pass.
The scene repeated itself, this time with the angels!
Leonardo and the humans looked at this in pure shock, as his mind couldn't comprehend what he was seeing.
Arriving in front of the seraphim, Alucard's eyes glowed blood red.
The two Seraphim and Alucard faced each other.
But... The two didn't raise their swords, Alucard's warning was clear, and the two seraphim noticed that Alucard didn't have his weapon.
Junketsu was still standing in the distance as it floated silently.
But even knowing that the two wouldn't give this man room to approach Ariel.
"Do you want her to die?" Alucard's question brought all of the Seraphim's thoughts to a standstill.
"… Can you help her?" Zaniel asked.
"...." Alucard didn't say anything, as he just continued with the same smile as before.
"Answer-." When Zaniel was going to demand he speak.
Everyone heard a whisper.
"I-It's all right..." Ariel's weak voice called out.
"Let him through." The voice came out a little stronger but still contained a hint of weakness.
Biting their lips, Daniel and Zaniel made room for Alucard.
When Ariel's state fell in Alucard's eyes, the man's face did not change.
He approached the woman and kneeled in front of her.
"On the battlefield, never let your guard down, even if you are with your allies."
"... I did not expect it."
"Betrayal comes from the place you least expect it."
Cough, Cough.
She coughed up golden blood onto the floor.
"Can you help me?"
"Yes." A simple answer but one that contained a lot of confidence.
"... Why? Why are you helping us?" She looked seriously at the being in front of her, even though he was evil... Why was he so beautiful?
Even Lucifer and Michael weren't as handsome as he was.
"I don't like to play other people's games."
"..." Ariel was going to open her mouth to say something, but she was silent. As one of the seven virtues, she understood what he was talking about.
'Damn demon, how long has he been making this plan?' She bit her lip angrily.
"Can I help you?" Hearing the question from the being in front of her.
She looked at him with neutral eyes, trying to find any kind of deception, she even used her 'virtue', but nothing could be found. He genuinely wanted to help her.
"... I trust you."
Alucard displayed a small gentle smile, "Trust is too strong a word, Ariel." He grabbed her arms and pulled her into his body.
"…H-Huh?" She was surprised when she felt a strong hand gripping her waist and was even more surprised when he lifted her chin gently.
And just like that, without even asking, Alucard made a move.
Alucard invaded Ariel's mouth and kissed her.
"Hmph!?"
…
..
.
Silence...
Pure silence fell all around. The place was so silent that they could only hear the noise of the fight going on in the distance, a fight that even the humans weren't interested in checking out.
They were simply shocked by what they were witnessing at this moment.
A seraph kissing a vampire? Huh?
The very thought of this happening in reality was so ludicrous that it would make anyone who understood the angels' attitude towards 'night beings' laugh out loud.
Everyone's mind was reduced to a catatonic state, and they couldn't even put two and two together right now.
All they could do was watch the 'battle' of tongues in which a frightening monster [Alucard] was fighting the gentle, virgin maiden [Ariel].
In the shadow world.
[...he did that...] Kaguya spoke in shock.
[Yes, he did.] Eve replied.
[He really did it...] Roberta spoke.
[Indeed, he actually went and did it.] Eve nodded.
[...He desecrated a Seraphim!!] Maria screamed.
[Yes, Yes, he desecrated a Seraphim.] Eve nodded several times.
[Please tell me I'm dreaming...] Kaguya muttered in a weak tone. She really wanted to sigh right now, just imagining the size of the trouble that would happen in the next scene made her completely tired.
[No, unfortunately, you're not dreaming.] Eve replied.
[...He couldn't do it any other way?] Bruna asked.
[It's better this way, I detected a powerful and evil soul in that wound, if my Master wants to help, he'd better consume that soul for himself.]
[I'm talking about his method of doing this!] Bruna screamed.
[How is he going to consume something if it doesn't go into his mouth?] Roxanne asked, confused, sounding like a child asking her parents how much two plus two was.
[...] The maids fell silent at this stupid question.
[B-But, didn't you absorb the other demons with Kaguya's shadows?]
[The demons were weaker, and their souls too. Remember when Master went to eat Duke Sitri, he had to go there himself.]
[...] The maids were silent.
[That's a very strong soul, probably coming from a higher level demon, he can't do that like he could with weaker demons.] Big Guy spoke.
Back to Alucard.
Unconsciously, Ariel held onto Alucard's shoulders and froze as her mouth was ravaged by this man. She would have resisted but stopped when she felt the influence of this miasma seeping out of her system.
Realizing that he wasn't taking advantage of her and just genuinely trying to help her, she let him do whatever he wanted as she squeezed his armor's shoulder tighter, her face turning a deep red as she realized the predicament she was in.
A few seconds passed, and Alucard backed away from Ariel, leaving a trail of saliva connecting the mouth of the frightening monster and a very red seraph.
"Y-Y-You-"
He caressed her cheek and spoke with a small smile:
"Thanks for the meal~." Soon he got up and started to walk away.
"B-Bastard!" Zaniel screamed in outrage as she grabbed her sword, and when she raised the sword to attack Alucard…
Ariel said,
"Stop."
"B-But, he took advantage of-…" Daniel trailed off when he looked at Ariel's condition.
The six-winged Seraphim rose from the ground, and the two realized that she was completely fine.
"He really helped me." She commented with a neutral expression while doing her best to hide her embarrassment with her poker face.
"Oh..." Alucard stopped walking and turned around, as he smiled seductively:
"I will keep this." He raised his hand and showed the demon metal bullet to the three seraphim and all the angels.
This time not just Ariel but all the angels, whether they were male or female, turned slightly red.
That smile was dangerous! That man was dangerous! He was worse than Lucifer!
Victor raised his hand, and Junketsu flew towards him. Victor caught Junketsu and held it with his left hand.
No one went on guard when he did this.
"See you Later, Ariel~." Then, with the same seductive smile, Victor disappeared.
'I never want to see you again!' Ariel thought in frustration when she heard what Victor said.
Did he help her? Yes! She couldn't deny that! If he wasn't here, she would probably go into a coma, and the only person who could help her at that moment was her heavenly father.
'B-But…'
She touched her lips and blushed even more deeply, she lowered her head a little, and her hair covered her red face:
'It was my first time! That bastard! He invaded my mouth deeply and dominated me!'
Smoke seemed to come out of the Seraphim's head; it was pure anger and shame:
'I never want to see him again!'
??
Mizuki, at this moment, was looking at a man lying down with bandages all over his body. She was walking calmly through the building in search of information when she entered the medical wing and saw this man.
"General Kurtz."
"…Should I kill this psychopath?" Mizuki knew Kurtz. The man was a fanatic who believed that 'purifying' was the right path for the good of mankind.
Of course, 'purify' in this sense was to kill all supernatural beings.
[It depends on your will, Mizuki.]
[Alucard would say the same.] Abe-No-Seimei spoke to his disciple.
"Hmm..." She thought for a few seconds and made a decision.
"He's still useful, but just in case." She pulled out a black talisman and said:
"Jorōgumo, mark my target, and make him your prisoner." The moment she tossed the talisman to Kurtz, a woman...
Specifically, a spider woman materialized, and this woman approached Kurtz's body as she climbed onto the bed and opened the man's mouth with her human hands.
The woman opened his mouth, and a small spider crawled up the woman's arms and entered Kurtz's mouth.
Kurtz's body began to struggle, but the youkai held him down on the bed.
The whole time, Mizuki had a small cruel smile on her face.
[...] Abe-No-Seimei looked at this vision with a cold sweat running down his body. His disciple had become quite cruel upon coming into contact with Victor.
