The Vampire King along with the Witch of the Abyss reached the inside of the biggest castle, the one decorated with black crystals.
Alucard stared at it wondering why would she choose to fight here when there was a whole empty area outside to fight.
Their fight would just ruin this castle.
However, Varete just stood there quietly as her shadow started to move underneath her fluttering dress.
"You can start at any time..." For Alucard this would be a relatively boring fight, she isn't a nosferatu... That means any overly strong attack would kill her, so he had to refrain from being 'too harsh'.
"Before I start, I'd want to ask you... Why do you think me fighting you is a modicum to anything?" She asked this time, and her pressure started to increase, but it wasn't nature energy...
"You witnessed my fight with Xie Luoshen... So you should know... You can't kill me, restrain me, seal me... Defeat me. If that's the case, why fight? The only purpose you can possibly have is to give yourself the resolve to do something... Through this fight." He said and crossed his arms.
Varete curled her lips lightly and stared at the ground, "Maybe you're right..."
"Has this hopeless situation dulled your edge, Varete? Has the sense of being weak rusted your spirit? I can feel deep within yourself... It's that qualification the strong need to stay mighty."
"...?" She stared at him, wondering what that is.
"It's the might of the powerful. The overwhelming confidence in your own strength! The resolve to know, that no matter what, you will be strong enough!" He screamed as his eyes turned red!
*RUMBLE!*
His pressure released blatantly and the whole castle started to shake!
Her eyes opened widely at his declaration.
"If you're not strong enough now, you will be tomorrow... Where is that confidence Varete? Show it to me, NOW!"
*FIIUSSH!*
Her eyes blinked and the next second, a fist was coming her way!
*BOOMMMM!!!*
Her slender figure got blasted like a cannon and phased through many castle walls!
*BAAANGG!*
Eventually, her figure came to a stop inside a boulder.
...
*tap*
*tap*
Alucard's red eyes shone in the darkness as he approached with a smile full of wickedness, "Oh? did it hurt you?"
However, Varete who was inside that boulder was unresponsive.
He sensed how the whole Castle started to shake as if energy started to concentrate in her body and his eyebrows lifted with curiosity.
*RUMBLE!*
Varete's gaze moved and showed him a gaze that didn't depict her as a battle maniac, but it was clear, she got triggered!
Her red eyes shone with wrath!
"Insolence..." Her soft voice said as a giant mass of unknown energy concentrated in her body!
*BOOM!*
A massive explosion occurred in the place she was in and the next second her figure was in front of him!
*SLAP!*
With but a single slap his body got blasted away breaking through more than one of the castle walls!
*FIIUSH!* His body that had been flying stopped abruptly as he blinked in place but at that moment, Varete's figure came flying with a smile!
*BOOM!*
Her palm met his fist as a great shockwave spread through the whole castle, but he didn't back off!
"I knew you have it in you." He said with a smile, as their red eyes stared at each other and then every single shadow in the room started to move like tentacles!
*FIIUSHH!*
All of them moved at amazing speeds seeking to reap his life!
*FIUSH!*
*FIUSH!*
*FIUSH!*
One after the other they penetrated his body creating massive holes and then continued penetrating even the castle.
Varete only stared at him, knowing this wasn't enough.
And indeed, the only reaction she received from the count was a smile, "I'm usually the one that does the impaling~ Guess this is a good turnaround."
"You madman." She smiled at his nonchalant behaviour despite the gravity of the wounds in his body.
Her mana started to rotate and to Alucard's surprise, figures started to materialise in the room.
...
"Not only handsome but also very strong... I like~ Let's kill each other alright?~" A foreign voice that shouldn't exist said as he sensed a figure in red robes started to materialise behind him.
"I hope your mind is up to my standards~", Another one said, this time coming from the front, a woman started to materialise in front of Varete.
"He doesn't look like an individual you will be deprived of fun with~" Yet another one materialised to his right, this one remained silent as she appeared.
"..." And the last one to his left, effectively surrounding him.
Alucard smirked, now this is truly unexpected.
A whole package.
...
It took them a few seconds to finish materialising, and by the end what surrounded him were five breathtaking beauties that one would be very hard-pressed to not stare at.
Each with its own charms, that made them remarkable.
...
In front of him, a mature woman with dark clothes floated, her torso composed of clothes that floated around her body, rather than covering her, giving her a very seductive appearance as those clothes seemed to hide her great assets just barely. Under her torso, she had a piece that wrapped her slender and full legs tightly.
Her hair was the blackest he had ever seen, as if her silky hair sucked the light from this world, not willing to let anything outshine her appearance, a fringe covered her eyes and her face overall, but he could see that her countenance was nothing short of spectacular as her golden eyes stared at him, with cunningness beyond belief, as if she had already schemed in her mind the next hundred years of his life.
...
Behind him stood a woman that seemed to be in her early thirties, as tall as him. With a very exotic red dress with golden decorations that left her belly open for him to marvel at, her two slender arms seemed to be enveloped in two big rings, her lower body covered in a long blouse that left one of her glamorous legs uncovered.
Her golden hair presented in a ponytail that reached all the way to her butt, fluttering as if suspended in the void. She stared at him with obsession and a smirk. Her expression showed battle intent as he had only sensed from his strongest opponents.
...
To his right, appeared a pink-haired girl that looked like a teenager with wine-red eyes and a cunning expression, her body seemed petite but her countenance concealed the wisdom of a sage, a blue and white long dress covered her body, but it didn't hide her curves despite her size.
Her gaze stared at him as if she was looking for any opportunity to tease him to death.
...
The woman to his left was last, and he had no doubt out of the four she was the most beautiful, her silver blueish hair fell freely down to her waist, and she was covered in a white dress with many red hems on and about, not hiding her extraordinary assets.
Her belly was open and two pieces of cloth covered her big chest from any sinner that dared to taint her pure body with his gaze, a crime he didn't mind committing.
Her gaze stared at him with complicated emotions, a mole underneath her luscious luscious sky-blue eyes called for his attention, her gaze contained insecurities but also, expectations.
