First Blood
After some bantering and some consolation for the afflicted Catherine. The latter decided and quite enthusiastically at that... to cook for them.
She was especially happy to have the 'heaven-given chance' of cooking for the Countless of Transilvania…
After charming the maids to leave the cooking for her today, she sat the two of them in the hall to wait for the food.
Alcina had seen her master eat the Queen's food despite its horrendous appearance and didn't hold many expectations on her "sister's" dish(she wasn't able to taste it, but she could see the horrible appearance it had), it would be some common dish at most with a passable taste at best.
Yes, it would pass her to the other world.
She spoke with Alucard regarding where would they go for a hunt upon finishing this 'dish'.
"We'll go to Russia first, take over some mafias and destroy some others that have ligaments with the Russian government." He answered casually like he was just cutting potatoes.
"Then repeat the same procedure in China, Japan, the UK and even Canada. But we will leave the US aside~" he added while sipping some wine.
*HUFF*
Alcina exhaled some smoke and analysed his words, "Do you want to make the US appear as the culprit? Why?" she inquired with curiosity.
"If we attack everyone without any order, they won't have a hunch to focus their efforts and might still put extra focus on China for being the first on the list. But if we do this they will focus on the US, as for why I choose the US. Not only is it that bastard Poseidon's home but they're also the strongest country there is in this world or at least by human standards. For any plan we might have in the future, it is convenient for us that the might of the US is weakened, and to start we will break their foreign relationships." The Count added as if America was his hound's backyard.
"Do you plan to take over the world, master~?" Asked Alcina while her shadow moved about trying to practice changing her morphology so that her height wouldn't be inconvenient from then on.
"No, but that doesn't mean I don't want to have a certain degree of control over it. This world is not like my previous one, there I was at the top regardless of past, present and future. But here, there are powerful existences that although they can't kill me; they can keep me at the margin"
His mind recalled that attack Poseidon launched at him, even though he himself wasn't confident in performing so much destruction with a single attack. Even at his peak where his omnipresence was at a range of a hundred kilometres, it was still not enough to cause the degree of havoc that 'nether sea' whatever attack had caused.
Such an attack could have easily devastated a small country and rendered a medium and big one disabled if launched in key places.
The thought of fighting those gods again produced an unprecedented thrill on him.
But as he was thinking that, his thought couldn't help but dwell towards Hades.
'What a disappointment…' Not only he wanted to get rid of him due to his past with Catherine, but there was also his title as Hades, the God of the Underworld as well as the fact that it wasn't just a title, but he was a real god!
Even then what awaited him was such a disappointing outcome.
Athena had given him a better fight, let alone Poseidon... The Gods had resulted to be an interesting bunch, the cultivators... Not so much, but he knew those three were just weaklings.
If the cultivators knew he was calling someone at the Karma Fire Tribulation 'weak', they'd spit blood according to their blood-spitting customs.
'You're not qualified to call yourself 'Pluto', you're just another Yang Chen…' he sighed and took his wine, deciding to let that matter rest, if he encountered the man then he'd swallow him whole, else… He'd just forget about him, getting close to Catherine would also render obliteration.
"Are you thinking about that boy?" She recognised the disappointment in his countenance, that same disappointment from his memories anytime something failed to entertain him.
"Yes, he was truly a disappointment. Imagine that… God of the underworld." He scoffed lightly, not surprised at the fact that Catherine was taking too long to prepare her stable nuclear fusion.
"You don't mind if I kill him right? That ant would better fit as my opponent than yours, Master." She said, quite interested in someone she could measure herself against, she felt her body was quite powerful compared to before, but right now she was like a baby girl holding a big rocket launcher, not knowing how to use it at all.
"You can kill him if you please. But, Athena and Poseidon are mine to fight..." He declared with a wicked grin, as of now, only those two were worthy of fighting him equally, he was sure that once the two of them grasped the nature of his powers, they would become harder opponents to deal with.
"Food's here~" Catherine came back with a shining smile bringing two plates elegant plates whose smell could knock any living creature flying by into unconsciousness.
She walked to the middle of the table where Alcina had moved the table and now sat beside Alucard.
Gracefully presenting her two plates in front of them, she released a kind smile, prompting the two judges to furrow their brows at the plates in front of them.
In front of Alucard was a plate that surprisingly looked like a beautiful and freshly cooked Spaghetti Bolognese. He could swear that if not for the smell it emitted, he'd be fooled despite his ability to sense its composition...
How she managed to have such a horrendous plate look good was beyond him, the opposite was also possible, making such a beautiful plate smell so horrible.
"Fufu~ I have been practising to make more delicious food for you, love~" As if sensing his intrigue, she flashed him a wink and put her hands above her aprons like a cute wife awaiting her husband's judgement, and her other judge's miserable dea-*cough* wonderful delight.
'What have you practised? Fooling people? sneaky assassination? death by radiation?' The countess wondered inwardly and gave her rival a brief glare before looking at her plate...
It was some kind of red radioactive bubbling soup with some bones in it... Bones that were slowly melting.
"How come whenever you cook, you don't prepare a portion for yourself?" That was the first question that came into the countess's mind as she flashed Catherine a wicked smile.
"Oh? I just kind of forget~" Catherine stuck out her tongue like an innocent little girl, but Alcina wasn't buying it.
"Then what is this difference in treatment~", She asked referring to the plate presentation, where her master got a good-looking spaghetti but she got radioactive diarrhoea that looked like something only the likes of Baskerville could produce...
"I just figured you'd like it spicier, moreover, It's obvious I have to make our master's plate look better~" Catherine answered matter of factly, only to feel a hand grasp her arm softly.
The countess flashed her a not-so-kind smile, "It's a pity that you forgot~ Don't worry, I can share mine with you!" She hurriedly took the surprised Queen and sat her on her lap!
But it was at that time that Alucard turned his head to look at Alcina's volcanic apocalypse and figured it looked better and up to his tastes, so without saying anything he directly exchanged it with his own.
"Master! You can't eat that! It's dangerous!" Upon witnessing that Alcina shouted frantically but all she received from Alucard was the image of him directly taking drinking the 'stew' as if it was a bottle of wine!
His body shook slightly under their gaze and vapour could be seen coming from his ears, nose, mouth and even eyes as he finished drinking everything in one go!
*FUA!*
Alucard sighed in wonder as his whole digestive system melted and regenerated inside his body! 'Yes! This feeling! Sadly it is still not quite it...'
"Yes Catherine, that was definitely better than the last one... I could taste some plutonium; put some more of it in the future. I could feel a small explosion inside my body, but it wasn't enough" The Vampire King rubbed his stomach slightly under the gaping visage of his two Draculines.
Alcina just couldn't believe what she was seeing, being tolerant of pain was one thing, but this was ridiculous... She had literally 'seen' a part of his organs melt...
Catherine who was less surprised at her lover's gastronomic tastes and was never one to miss a chance hurriedly took the fork, took a 'meatball' and shoved it into Alcina's gaping mouth!
"Have some dear~ we can't let it get cold!"
!!!
Alcina's face turned green directly upon tasting the nightmarish meatball -If it could be called that- and shot Catherine a murderous glare!
'Bitch!'
The next thing she saw was darkness as her gigantic body fell back harshly onto the table she was sitting on!
*BANG!*
Under her heavyweight, the table split in two straight away as the countess writhed in pain on the ground!
Alucard glanced at all this with a lot of surprises and flashed the panting Catherine who was on top of Alcina, a furrowed glare, "I didn't expect you to be so ruthless, Catherine... And you say you can't drink the blood of a single person? The homicide you just committed is way worse. Truly an eye-opener... You make me proud."
Meanwhile, Catherine looked at the twisting countess whose existence actually started to flicker! The horrendous taste made her lose focus on her power!
She didn't want to taste her own food because she knew it wasn't tasty, yet she felt some happiness at the fact that Alucard liked it despite that fact.
But now looking at the dying Alcina... Was it really that bad? Moreover plutonium? she just fiddled around the kitchen and found a suitcase in a secret compartment with something inside that looked like vinegar... And decided to use it, that's all...
At the end of the meal, Alucard was forced to feed his blood to Alcina, lest the countess fell into a state of the eternal void with the last memory in her mind being that nightmarish 'stew'.
It was safe to say that after waking up, Alcina was more than expectant for a year to pass by...
