Nameless King



If one wanted to win a battle, facing an immortal opponent would be the biggest mistake.

It was impossible to win a battle against an immortal unless the opponent could actually be killed. In that case, one could only hope for a draw if the opponent himself wanted to stop dueling.

World of Darkness didn't want to admit it, but when the chains and the huge orb appeared, World of Darkness tried to seal Alucard. It was the only way to defeat an immortal being without killing it.

Everyone realized that this tactic could work, only if Alucard didn't possess such insane destructive power, this plan would definitely leave him in the open forever.

"Damn... Now I see what you were talking about earlier." Ereg muttered with a complicated expression while looking at the many bright purple flashes.

Every second Alucard tried to revive and succeeded, but before he could do anything, the flaming spheres turned him into nothing.

"Yeah... Moreover, given the infinite energy of the World of Darkness, the spheres will never run out of energy." Gael nodded, narrowing his eyes.

Then, for the first time in several hundred years, he began to worry about his friend, who seemed like he couldn't possibly have a problem. Alucard always did what he wanted and never had significant problems because of it, he was prepared for anything.

At least, that was the way things had been going until now.

'Hm... If we intervene, we can definitely force World of Darkness to back off and not enforce the rules this time. However... That would be the greatest insult to Alucard, I just can't do that to him.'' Gael pondered with a great frown on his face.

Ereg glanced at Gael, he could see how Gael was worried and understood his feelings. It had happened to him when Alucard had thrown Nila at Kraken's jaw, but this situation was on another level.

Whoooooooooooooooooooosh.

Alucard swung his arm, creating a barrier of blood around him, strong enough that even the claws of an adult Dragon couldn't cut it in the first attack.

However, at the same moment, three flaming spheres passed through the barrier, leaving wide holes in Alucard's chest.

"Bastards!" Alucard angrily exclaimed, as his pupils flashed and his regeneration increased several times.

However, before his wounds had time to heal, more than ten spheres rained down on him, leaving nothing but ashes.

"Oh... Looks like we'll see defeat soon." Liang calmly said while rubbing his chin thoughtfully.

"Agh...? Don't you believe in Alucard at all?" Nitra frowned.

Liang waved his hand, "I'm not talking about him but about World of Darkness. Alucard was already able to find a moment to create a barrier. He didn't have a second to boost his regeneration. If he can do it right, World of Darkness won't have any other options left."

Nitra stared at Alucard, who had died about ten times in those few seconds and sighed heavily.

"No, you're wrong." Nitra shook her head in a sad tone.

Liang gave her a questioning look.

"I've already counted everything. Most of the spheres don't move, and only 10% of their total number attack, although only 1%-3% were effective before. Thus, even if Alucard becomes five times faster, even if it becomes seven times faster, it won't change anything." Nitra sighed.

Liang didn't reply anything, he just continued to watch the fight. However, after Nitra's words, his gaze did not change in any way. It seemed, like he was thinking about something else entirely, and her calculations were unimportant.

"Fuck!"

"Enough!"

"I'm sick of you!"

"This is stupid!"

"Fight fair!"

Alucard shouted something each time he died, only to die again the next moment. 

As Nitra had anticipated, Alucard was actually able to become faster over time, but he couldn't do anything, not even create the blood barrier once more.

Almost half of the spheres were constantly moving from one side to the other, given their immense speed it looked like a lot of purple streaks going through the center of the huge sphere.

Alucard would appear right in the center of the sphere, and the flaming streaks would immediately burn him, preventing him from even uttering a single word.

Alucard would only have time to make a short wave of his hand, but the barrier would not have time to form in that time.

After a few swings, Alucard's gaze shifted to his hand and his pupil narrowed before the flames engulfed him again.

"Oh, looks like he's finally figured out what needs to be done." Wain smirked, watching the fight as much as the others.

"What are you talking about?" Osvald asked in confusion.

"Just watch. I'm sure Alucard has never done this before as only World of Darkness could put him through such a unique Trial." Wain waved his hand with a confident smile on his face.

Sven nodded silently, seeming to have ideas as well. He knew how Alucard could get out of this situation.

Whoooooooooooosh.

Alucard revived again, and the flaming spheres were already in front of him. He had less than a second to make a decision and execute his plan.

Normally, it wouldn't be enough to even clench his hand into a fist, it was impossible to execute a plan in such a time, but for Alucard, anything was possible.

Crackle.

He swung his hand, then the flaming spheres turned him into ashes. However, the flaming spheres didn't notice something because they were just a normal spell that had a simple purpose - to kill Alucard.

Alucard died, and his ashes floated in the center of the sphere while his arm flew off to the side, spinning in the air.

"Agh...? Why did he do that?" Nila muttered in a disbelief.

"Well, perhaps meeting Nitra had a positive effect on him." Liang smirked, looking at her, "You'd probably want to do a similar experiment, wouldn't you?"

Nitra didn't answer anything, in fact, she wasn't even listening to what Liang was saying. Her gaze was fixed on the ashes left by Alucard and his hand.

Whoooooooooooooooooosh.

The hand and the ashes shone brightly with scarlet flashes. Then, blood clots covered them, and everyone saw two silhouettes that were completely similar to each other, like twins.

"Wait...? Is it Alucard...? Or... Should I say Alucards?" Nila said in a puzzled manner with wide-open eyes.

"Cloning..." Nitra whispered with a mad grin on her face. She as a scientist had thought about it many times, but Nitra was sure it was impossible.

"Well, practically." Liang shrugged, looking at the two clones.

In truth, Alucard hadn't created his full clone since most of his clone's body consisted of dense blood, although all the parts were the same. The clone only had Alucard's real arm, it was the only thing made up of flesh bones, and skin and not just blood.

Whooooooooooooooooooosh.

At the same moment, the spheres trembled slightly, as if choosing their next target. Then, they made the only possible decision - to split up and attack two Alucards at once.

Alucard and his clone turned to ash, but now there was no frown on Alucard's face, but a bright, shining grin. He had finally realized what he had to do to defeat World of Darkness, and his plan had worked.

"Hah, there's no stopping him now. We just need to keep up this pace, and soon World of Darkness will fall!" Wain exclaimed with an excited expression.

Marlis and Osvald had the same faces. Even Sven was smiling without hiding it. However, he was slightly surprised which was obvious.

"I guess you expected him to do something different, didn't you?" Wain asked, turning to Sven.

Sven nodded, "Yeah... Everyone has forgotten about it, but the blood hammer still continues to attack the Golem. Look."

Wain turned around and nodded.

Every second, the hammer quickly attacked, collapsing on the Golem. The monster immediately recovered, but perhaps Alucard could use it to his advantage. He seemed to have completely forgotten about the weapon he had created, which was struggling to fulfill its purpose.

"Alucard could destroy the spheres with his hammer or turn it into a stream of blood and defend himself. He probably had some other options, but honestly, I'm pleased he didn't." Sven said calmly, with a slight smile.

Wain nodded, "Agree. Clones from different body parts. I've never seen such a thing, and it's likely the only possibility in the history of our world."

"Well... It is definitely a unique ability that is only available to Alucard. After all, these clones can be considered living beings to some extent."

Whooooooooooooooosh.

The flaming spheres were burning Alucard and his clone, he did nothing as he just enjoyed the moment.

Then, after Alucard recovered, he bit off his fingers and tossed them aside. His clone did the same.

Thus, the next time it regenerated inside the arena, there were already twelve different Alucards. One of them had almost his entire body, another had only an arm, and ten had only one finger each, but that was enough to be cloned.
