From their meeting point, few words were offered as the group of seven made their way to Enslynue under the cover of night. They were blurs moving through the shadows of the trees alerting the nocturnal creatures crawling under the moonlight. The moon was unnaturally crimson as if it had a premonition of what would occur.The Sin's crossed the boarder separating Anthropis and Enslynue, they made their way through the kingdom's minor cities and villages until they made way to the capital walls. Alucard raised his hand calling to a stop the group.“From here on out, we split up. I'll take care of the palace. You guys corner the capital, also no casualties of civilians but the imperial army, you guys can go berserk.”Smiles lingered on five people's faces while Envy also known as Lily just stared at their leader, his commands were odd regardless of how noble they were. He disregarded the imperial army like they didn't exist in his eyes; was Alucard hinting to them to kill? She was agains
Gluttony chuckled at the impact from Constantine, he sat down tired from walking as his body weight was weighing heavily on him. Unlike Constantine he didn't receive much attention but he didn't mind. Attention was the last thing on his mind, food being the first. His sharp eyes caught a glimpse of something fast, it approached but he wasn't afraid. Gluttony just opened his mouth and swallowed the multiple arrows sent his way without trouble. His digestive system immediately dissolved the matter into Qi and glucose fueling him with energy.His nostrils flared up as he had the first snack which had no taste but that didn't bother him, he oinked like a pig as his face turned even redder upon witnessing his assailant.GLUCOSE CONSUMPTION AND REDUCTION.Gluttony's body regulated his glucose and fat converting it into a cloud of Qi and matter while reducing him in size, till he was more lean. The cloud made from the fat tissues and glucose hovering besides of him, another set of arrows cam
Even before Xerxes could conclude his statement, he and Hael both felt something warm trickle down their chests, they looked and saw that it was their own blood. Confusion laced in their eyes, as they turned to look at Alucard only to find him missing. Alucard knelt behind of the throne, Kagame no Haniki held horizontally, parallel to the ground; he looked at the two from the back of his eye and clicked his tongue. “You were saying?” Xerxes and Hael merely chuckled as the odor of burning flesh lingered in the atmosphere. Their wound closed itself up and they stood up from the two thrones, looked at Alucard before chuckling. “That was a cute attempt brother but your sword is as blunt as your will.” “Indeed Xerxes, our brother here has grown weaker for some apparent reason he's merely a shadow of his former self, disgusting.” Alucard stood up, turned to look at the two who had already underwent a metamorphis during their berating moment. Hael in the same state he had been in three y
Alucard turned around to look at the person clapping. The feminine voice was similar in a way however his sense of recognition was being surppressed by the hatred he was under. His eyes moved up and down assimilating the person's mien. He was confused as to who she was because she knew his name while he didn't know anything about her. “Who are you?” The woman in question had long lavender hair, pale skin complexion with a yin yang mark on her forehead. Sharp lavender eyes. From the bridge of her nose down to her jaw was a lavender silk cloth with ornaments embroided in the fabric. She wore a flowing dress with high collars, a sash around the waist, underneath she wore brown leather pants and boots. In her hand was a brown stick with a pointy edge and in her other hand, the right hand was a glowing stone. Alucard instantly recognized the stone and made an attempt to jump forward to grab it but a writing for sit, weaved by the woman appeared on his forehead. His body followed the comm
A couple of months passed without Linux or her army's appearance, although as silence reigned. The rulers were on the edge of their seats, they knew that; it had been way too long and way too quiet. They knew that something was coming, and that something was going to shake the fundamental core of Aesperia. The world wasn't safe, and soon enough they will be like ambers of a dying sun; flickering while awaiting to perish.In those months, Alucard trained his body and his mind. He had something against Linux; some may call it a hopeless path of vengeance, Alucard called it his only goal. He had allowed Linux to trample over his will, his pride all in the name of foolishness. Was her embezzlement that potent that he couldn't tell from right or wrong? Thinking about that made him furious.Not only did he train but, he had recalled the group that had helped him conquer his own brothers; Like before, Wrath, Envy, Pride, Lust, Sloth, Greed and Gluttony were united. This time united for a gre
By the peak of the Crimson dawn, the lands were laid to waste, littered with the bodies of the innocent, demonic creatures and soldiers alike. The battle was not yet halfway and the casualties were astounding; In Ensylune it wasn't any better. A man with blond hair, scars all over his eyes, a small mustache was cleaving through soldiers like knife to butter, his rapier dancing through armor as if it was nothing. Blood mimicked his movement, and lingered in the air before dropping to the ground. Bulgard, one of the Night Owls was enjoying himself; it had been a while since he feasted on Human flesh.PHANTOM HOWL! Bulgard was forced to dodge to the side as a beam of vivid light shot through the army and exploded right where he was previously standing, obliterating someone of his men. Bulgard gracefully landed atop of the building next to him and looked out in the direction the beam came from. He chuckled and wiped the blood smeared on the rapier with his finger and consumed it. The met
The voice pierced through the atmosphere reaching Constantine's ear. His beaming eyes watching as the luminescence diminished slowly revealing the true manifestation of Bulgard. He stood at a staggering height easily surpassing Constantine by miles just from standing, he had dragon scales, and two pairs of wings. Blood red eyes along with a tail, the Kage No Akuma. Demon shadow was what he was called during his time in active duty, and like a demon he manifested in the most menacing way possible.[Do you fear me now boy?] Bulgard asked in his demonic tone, soot emitting from his nostrils as he puffed and huffed. The draconian Qi flowing through his veins vividly excited for the clash — long had he longed for this moment; the moment to feel the rush of battle. Ever since his demise, he had never battle to his heart's content but now it was a different story. Constatine looked at his previous master with disgust. The one noble Duke had now turned into this lowly creature. He raised his
Linux smirked, as she twirled the six orbs in her hand. “So Bulgard had a change of heart, interesting but thanks to you, I've seen where Aether is. That nasty sorcerer has took shelter in another world.”Linux sat on the makeshift throne in the middle of her castle watching the carnage as the world she knew came to an end. Her strength alone enough to vaniqush kingdoms, trample over worlds. Although heavily diminished; Linux had the strength to cause even reality to shake but she had split her power in the form of her generals, but now that she was whole again, she knew things were going to get interesting.She watched nonchalantly as her servants were defeated by the seven sins and the combined effort of the kingdoms; but she had attained what she had sought after, her precognitive eyesight wasn't failing her. The tides of battle were shifting exactly how she plotted them to go, she was a shepherd heading her sheep to their slaughter.In her right hand hovered the four stones from t
As the explosion died down, a bruised Arthur and Linux stood near the edge roots of energy. They held their breaths, anticipating to see the product of their combined effort to defeat the adversary before them. “Insolent fools,” Arodis's voice pierced through the dimensional rift as the last bit of energy circulating where he was dissipated. Arthur and Linux were astounded at the resilience the mechanical monster before them had, the attacks were enough to shake the void realm they were in and cause destruction on a greater scale and yet the target of their attacks only suffered getting his right side blown away. Their shock did not last long as the Qi levels started to rapidly rise, skyrocketing to a point the dimensional rift showed cracks in its edges. “Something is coming” Arthur informed his new comrade. Linux nodded, she could feel the foul Qi resonating around them. Having been connected to the Source, it made it easier for her to detect presences linked to Oblivion. Arod
Arthur spectated the interaction until the towering mechanical being hit Linux, he tightened his grip around his sword. Even if the woman was a menace and a thorn in his side, Arthur was not going to stand by and watch her get hurt. He dashes over to Linux and caught her. His gesture startled the woman who was unsure of what to do. She had been trying to ruin him at every chance she got and yet he was there to rescue her when she needed help. Why? Why was he so selfless? Everything was because of her, he lost everything. His friends, his reality, and his home world all because she was following a fool's goal. Linux looked at Arthur, “Why did you help me?” Arthur acknowledged her question but never paid attention to her. His eyes were focused on Arodis, the speed the latter had struck Linux with was something they had yet to deal with. His vision could not track the hand movement of Arodis until Linux was hit and Arthur was positive that he could track even light moving through
Linux dashed forward and delivered a roundhouse kick to Arthur, the latter blocked the attack with his right forearm and used his left hand to grab Linux's ankle. Arthur twisted his body around generating enough momentum to send Linux flying but instead of releasing his grasp, he smashed the latter on the ground creating a large crater with Linux's body. He was not done, he stabbed his sword near Linux's face and chuckled. The woman was as fast as ever, she managed to narrowly avoid his attack by just an inch when she moved her head. But it did not matter to Arthur, he still had a hold on her ankle. Or so he thought. Linux kicked Arthur on the chin making the latter stagger backward, slightly disoriented from the power behind the blow. Arthur regained his bearing and launched his attack; the black sword in his hand acting as an extension of his reach as he swung it in an attempt to slice through the woman. Linux was nimble on her feet, she easily evaded a majority of the attack
[Where am I?] [You are locked in the subconscious of your mind by Linux, right now the person using our body is not you.][I... See. So what are we going to do Aether?] [The only thing we had been doing ever since, we fight! With all our strength, I have a feeling that our salvation is coming.] Arthur nodded as he looked at Aether, the main conscience behind his actions. It had been a couple of months, maybe a year, since they last, sat down and had a conversation. [So what's going to happen once you complete your goal? Are you going to return to your home world?] Aether shook his head. There's no world to return to, everything was destroyed by Linux's wrath. He clutched his fists tightly and bit his lip. He was useless. He could not protect what his forefathers gave their lives to protect. He did not deserve to be a sorcerer Supreme. Sanz was better suited for the role but his lack of magical prowess got in the way. Aether has to admit something he had been running from. He
Dante dashed forward, crossing the distance between him and the controlled Arthur in a second. He appeared behind Arthur after he relocated and kicked the latter in the back with enough force to shatter the spine of Arthur. Arthur felt his insides grind up from the attack, it was as if his back was being pressed against his stomach. He could feel the bones cracking from the internal pressure. Arthur staggered forward from the kick and turned around only to receive a boot to the chin uprooting him from his feet, launching him into the air. Dante outstretched his arm and a Chakram blade appeared in the palm, he threw the blade with precision at Arthur aiming to slice the latter's neck clean. Arthur saw the blade and covered his most vulnerable part by bringing his head forward, the Chakram cut through his left eye as it narrowly missed his neck. He landed on the ground and placed a hand on his eye, he had one vision now and he could not focus because he was hearing whispers in his
As Evangelist screamed in the illusion world, her screams escaped her mouth startling the others with her. The woman writhing at their feet startled them, they looked at the woman who was holding her head and looked at Arthur. “What did you do to her?” Lily asked looking at Arthur as she cradled Evangelist in her arms. Concern for the woman flashed in her eyes. She saw how protective Arthur was toward the woman in her hands, he threatened them the first time they met and put himself in harm's way for her safety. So why? Why did he attack her like that? The cause of the mental anguish the woman in her arms was the glowing eyes from Arthur, after they glowed, Evangelist behaved rather oddly for Lily even if she was not around her for a long period of time. Arthur stared at the woman unsympathetically, he felt nothing even when she screamed. Hearing Lily ask what he had done, he stared at Lily as well. “I merely put her in an illusion, if she can't win against her past she's weak
Arthur took a look at the gate opened by Linux, his eyes peered through the gate seeing across the dimensions. He knew he made a grave error in calculations but he had to, to match the power of Linux it was imperative for him to release the seal. He flickered across the battlefield and appeared before Linux, he threw a punch at the latter who blocked his punch. Linux kicked Arthur away from her only for the latter to pounce back and be on the assault once again. She diverted and blocked his attacks retaliating with her own. Each time their attacks met, the land shook and the earth split into two. The winds roared as they rippled across the battlefield and the entirety of the globe.Arthur jumped back distancing himself from Linux, he dodged to the side seeing the horde fire attacks where he was standing. He gritted his teeth and looked around him. The army of legions surrounded him, closing every escape route he had. But Arthur was not intimidated, he could deal with a majority o
Granger sneered at Arthur, he was a pest on his side. He did not know when to give up and walk away, the latter was always meddling in his ambitions acting as a hindrance to his goals. Ever since he got word of him, he had been wary of Arthur, he organized the summit between rankers in an attempt to kill him but that failed too. Arthur reminded Granger of someone. Granger chuckled remembering that one friend he had back in his timeline. He was like the man before him, obnoxious, he never knew when to stop probing into people's businesses until he got killed. Arthur looked at the chuckling man, he raised an eyebrow wondering if the latter had gone senile. “What is so funny?” Granger hummed upon hearing the question, what was funny? He looked up at the ceiling unable to find the right words. He contemplated his choice of speech before he began to reply.“You remind me of someone, a person I held dear to me,” Granger replied reminiscing of the past. Held dear? Those words held mean
The battle began between the last two individuals transported away by Midas. They were at a mountain range, the winds were chilling cold as they pillaged the lands like travelers, caressing everything they touched.The weather was humid yet tumultuous at the same time as it caved to the Qi the two fighters had. Standing near the foliage on the mountain peak was a young man standing at 5 foot 7 inches, he wore Israeli clothing consisting of a white blouse shirt, strap-on sandals, and a large coat above. On his waist was a rope that had a small bag connected to it. He was David, the one who had a blessing from the all-father. Also known as the Goliath Slayer. Alucard peered at the man standing before him, he was not that impressive. His body physique was average at best, with no defining muscle structure but there was something about the man that made him take the fight seriously. He could not place his finger on it, but it felt as if he was staring at an even greater being than he
