Nameless King

"Hahaha, Gael, in the last five hundred years have you forgotten how to fight?" Alucard smirked while looking into his opponent's eyes.

Gael was surprised and could barely contain himself from screaming in pain as Alucard's hands literally destroyed him from the inside out.

Whooooooooooosh.

Alucard's pupils narrowed as his hands became a blur. His palms like spears were plunging into Gael's chest, tearing it apart as flesh and blood flew away.

"No!" Alia exclaimed as she tried to help her teacher, but Krakos held her arms tightly, not even allowing her to move.

"Damn... That's impressive..." Krakos muttered with a dazed look, but he wasn't talking about Alucard at all, "Three Lord attacks are enough to end an average-level Dragon's life forever, but Gael... He has withstood over a hundred attacks already. The strength of his body is actually terrifying."

Krakos' voice was calm as though nothing foretold trouble and it affected Alia to make her look at this fight in a different way, "Sir has never lost, not even in the battle with Nameless King, so this is just the beginning, right?"

Krakos' eyes went wide, then he smiled and let go of Alia's hands, "Looks like there's no reason to hold you back anymore, is there?"

Alia stood up, held out her hands, and with a serious look said, "Yeah. You're right. I've calmed down now. I still need to work on keeping my emotions in check, sir keeps telling me that."

"I had no intention of fighting you, it's just that neither of us should interfere in this fight. If you had come to a few steps closer, Lord would have accidentally killed you for sure and then Gael would have gotten really angry. I'm sure you know what would have happened then." Krakos said in a serious voice as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"Yeah..." Alia nodded as a slight shiver ran through her body at the memory of the one time Gael went on a rampage, "That was when Sir fought the Progenitor of Dragons... I don't know if Sir was worried about my safety then, but I only survived then because of a miracle."

"Hah, I know about that story. It is said that after that battle the number of mountains in Dragon World increased several times as Gael just chopped them in two, and the Dragon with the energy of nature had to work hard to restore the scorched forests from the ashes to normal." Krakos said with obvious respect in his voice since he respected power like any other monster, no matter who possessed it.

Crackle.

A massive stream of scarlet energy erupted from Alucard as if a wave of blood turned into a huge spear. With a wave of his hand, the spear rushed toward Gael and pierced his heart, causing it to beat ever slower, gradually bringing one of the Progenitors closer to death.

"Agh... What a nice smell... Your blood has a damn strong scent, you know that?" Alucard said, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath.

His eyes flashed brightly, a massive burst of energy bursting out of him involuntarily, a shockwave that amplified the flames in the trees.

Bam.

Gael with a blank stare fell to the ground while his scarlet blood spread across the ground, scorching it as though something very hot.

Alucard swung his hand as massive streams of blood rushed out of the ground. They headed to one point, turning into a massive sphere with an indescribable amount of energy inside.

"Oh... Looks like we need to move further away." Krakos said with a slight smile on his face, took Alia's hand, and turned into a blur. A second later they were on a rocky peak, a few hundred meters away from the battle site.

"What are you doing? I have to help him!" Alia exclaimed as she hurriedly jumped off the stone peak.

Tap.

Krakos grabbed her by the shoulder, pulled her against him, and bending down to her ear whispered, "Don't move if you don't want to die."

"Can't you stop your Lord? This duel should not be to the death!" Alia exclaimed with a worried look as suddenly a shiver ran through her body.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The sphere reached its limit as it was the size of a mountain. It consisted of millions of bloody threads through which occasional waves of energy passed, making them pulsate like veins.

It couldn't go unnoticed even by those tens of kilometers away from the battlefield, so Alucard's attack was noticed by many.

"What the hell is going on out there...?" Wain muttered with a dazed look, looking at the orb through the cracks in the glowing tree. He had already reached the middle and had just passed another test as many monster corpses lay behind him.

'Looks like some of the Progenitors is fighting...' Gladius muttered in a worried manner, 'Despite the distance I can smell strong blood, so... I can assume that one of the fighters is the Vampire Progenitor, Alucard, The Immortal.'

'The Immortal... Is he that hard to kill?' Wain asked while in disbelief.

'Hah, that's not it, Alucard is actually immortal.' Gladius grinned.

Wain's eyes went wide, after a while he realized that in the case of the Vampire Progenitor this might be true and asked, "Doesn't that mean he's the strongest then?"

"Well, just because you can't be killed doesn't mean you can't be defeated. Just look, one day you'll have that strength too." Gladius said as he pointed to the massive orb.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

"Alright! Now let's see if you can take it!" Alucard exclaimed as he clenched his hand into a fist.

The sphere shuddered and sharply narrowed into a massive, long spear with several bloody rings. The closer the spear was to the tip, the narrower the rings and the more energy there was in them.

"Damn... Lord does not joke, quickly, help me create a protective barrier!" Krakos exclaimed, "Otherwise we will die!"

Whoooooooooosh.

At the same moment, Alucard lowered his hand as if giving the order to the archers to fire, and the spear with all its might come down on Gael.

As the spear approached, the world seemed to stand still as the hundreds of scars on Gael's body shone brightly.
