Chapter 646: When Demons Cry.
Chapter 646: When Demons Cry.
“…I hate it when you do that.”
“Few things can be hidden from me, you know that.” Victor chuckled at Rose’s frustrated expression and then looked back at Eleonor.
Eleonor slammed her hands on the ground and said:
“Creation!”
The earth began to shake violently as if an earthquake had started.
All of a sudden, the whole terrain began to change as if it had become fluid. The lands began to become flatter, everything that was useless was swallowed up by the earth, and all that was left was a great plain.
“… This is bullshit,” Leona spoke in exasperation.
“Creating mountains of ice, summoning lightning storms, creating a gigantic fireball… You’ve seen it several times and are still surprised by this?” Nero asked.
“The bloodlines of the vampire counts are all nonsense,” Nero said.
‘And my father is even more absurd to have almost all of them,’ Nero thought.
“Don’t you understand? Those bloodlines are excellent too, but Clan Adrasteia’s is more deadly and versatile.”
“… Why?” Nero asked.
“Because she can change the entire battlefield whenever she wants, and that destroys any advantage of the enemy. If Eleonor Mommy reaches her full potential, probably only Father, Sasha Mommy, Scathach Mommy, or Natashia Mommy can defeat her, Natashia and Sasha included only because of the power of lightning,” Ophis said.
“….” Absolute silence fell over the place; even the noise of Eleonor shifting the terrain to create giant walls wasn’t enough to break everyone’s shocked silence.
“O-O-Ophis!?” Nero looked at Ophis as if she were a strange creature.
“Mm?” Ophis looked at Nero with the same emotionless face as ever.
“What was that?” Nero asked what everyone was thinking.
“… Explanation…?” Ophis answered in the same confused way as she tilted her face a little.
“It’s not about that! It’s about that complete sentence!” Nero swore that this was the first time she heard Ophis speak such a big sentence. Even in the Japan incident, she didn’t say such a big sentence as now.
And by the reaction of everyone, even Victor, it was fair to say that even they didn’t expect this.
“You ask?” Ophis spoke while pointing to Nero, then she pointed to herself, “I answer.” She finished with a satisfied nod.
“…” That doesn’t answer anything!! All, except for Victor, shouted internally.
Victor looked at Ophis with a gentle smile.
‘As expected, she also inherited this’ Victor felt proud of what he was witnessing:
‘She inherited that spark that made Haruna unify supernatural Japan and the spark that made Hana become very strong… I guess it makes sense. She is, after all, the daughter of Haruna’s sister and the girl who has 50 % of a Progenitor’s blood.” Of all her siblings, Ophis was born with the most potential.
“Victor, it’s your turn!”
“….” Victor turned from observing Ophis, who was in his arms, and looked at Eleonor and saw a large plot of land with walls that easily reached 10 meters in height.
An acceptable height considering a weaker Behemoth was the same size.
The group that was in the sky descended to the ground, and the moment Victor and the group landed, he felt everything around him slow down as his instincts exploded.
Lightning flashed in Victor’s eyes, and he looked around quickly; soon, he saw dark portals begin to appear all around, and all these portals were being created in people’s blind spots behind the neck.
And in that small opening of the portal, he saw a completely white being that only had a mouth full of teeth. He looked like a humanoid monster.
‘An enemy…’ The moment that thought appeared in Victor’s head, lightning flashed throughout his body, speeding up his reaction time even more.
Victor picked up Ophis and Nero with just his right arm, then with his left arm, he pulled Leona to his body and ran towards Rose. He placed the three close to the woman, then ran towards Eleonor and pulled the woman into his body before a claw appeared and tried to pierce Eleonor’s neck.
Again, he placed Eleonor close to Rose and ran toward the Valkyries now.
With just a glance, he identified which Valkyria would suffer the attack, and realizing Dorothy and Anrietha were the first ones, he quickly ran towards the women, grabbed them both by the waist like a sack of potatoes, and released them into Rose’s group. He repeated this same action with all the Valkyries.
And soon, his perception of time started to return to normal.
RUMBLE, RUMBLE.
The sound of lightning and land being destroyed was heard.
“… Huh? Why am I-.” Eleonor was confused, but she didn’t have time to ask when she heard Victor’s voice:
“Don’t lose focus. It’s an enemy attack!”
“!!!!” The Valkyries, Leona, Eleonor, Natalia, Nero, and Ophis quickly looked around and saw several small portals with clawed hands attacking where they were before.
And that’s when they all realize that Victor saved them again.
“Tsk, that’s not what I was told about your speed, Alucard.” The creature without eyes or a nose with only a mouth spoke.
“An Alpha.” Eleonor snarled as her eyes grew more monstrous.
“Do not compare me with those inferiors.” The being spoke in disdain.
“….” Rose and Eleonor narrowed their eyes at that statement.
‘An Elder God? No, he’s different from the ones Vlad fought. What is he then?’ Rose thought.
“Watch your backs; there’s still more around here,” Victor spoke with his eyes shining in blood red. He raised his hand, and something came flying from the horizon, and a few seconds later, that something fell into Victor’s hands.
It was Junketsu, the Progenitor’s blade.
ROOOOOOAR!
The group felt their spines shiver at the roar in the distance.
The Valkyries looked into the distance and saw an immense horde of monsters, Behemoth, Minions, Ogre, and even a swarm of Wyvern.
“That is impossible. We had annihilated everything.” Alexa spoke with a tremor in her voice.
“It’s a trap! Valkyries, you know what to do!” Rose screamed.
“Yes!”
As the Valkyries spread out, assuming their formation, the hair on Leona’s body began to stand on end, and an expression of disgust appeared on the woman’s face:
“Grr, that weird smell, what is it?” Leona spoke with an annoyed face as she looked at an unseen location.
Rose opened her eyes widely, pulled her sword, and slashed the ‘air’ in the direction Leona was looking; soon after, blood exploded in the direction she slashed, and everyone saw several bodies being sliced.
“Predators!”
“Natalia, open a portal to Warfall!” Victor, while not taking his eyes off the white creature, ordered.
“I can’t. Something is stopping me!” Natalia said.
“Did you really think we wouldn’t have countermeasures for the Clan we hate the most? Descendant of the Alioths, you, as well as Alucard, will die today.” More portals began to appear around, and beings similar to the invader that was in front of Victor began to appear.
Victor’s eyes started to shine even brighter when he saw this. He judged the situation as very dangerous, with a horde of several monsters behind and unknown beings with unknown powers in front.
His hair grew down to his back, and an overwhelming pressure fell on everyone around as Junketsu was bathed in blood, the blade turning completely red.
“Rose, take command of the Valkyries.”
“Leona, protect Ophis, Nero, and Natalia.”
“Eleonor… Mess them up.”

“Very Well.”
When Eleonor was going to make a move, one of the white creatures ran toward Eleonor.
Rumble, Rumble.
Victor appeared in front of the creature and pointed the tip of his palm at him.
Lightning built up on his finger and shot toward the creature, effectively making the creature disappear into plasma.
During the entire moment, Victor never took his senses off the creature that attacked first; he knew it was the most dangerous being.
Soon he disappeared again when he saw the other white beings scattering around.
‘I’m not feeling the same feeling when I kill someone in them… Clones? Puppets? What is this?’ Victor thought as he ran around the battlefield.
Victor looked to his left and saw more portals appearing, and within these portals, more white beings like the one he was facing began to appear.
ROAR!
Hearing the monsters scream and seeing them coming closer, “Anrietha, battle tactic A!” Rose ordered.
Anrietha took the ceremonial staff from her back and spun around while hitting the ground and speaking words incomprehensible to everyone.
Soon blue energy fell on everyone present, followed by green energy, and then red.
“Done.”
“Eleonor!”
“Creat-.” Before she could complete her technique, the eerie sound of something shooting was heard.
Seeing the dark projectile crossing the air towards Eleonor very quickly, even for someone who sees things more slowly, Victor felt a bad feeling, and he ran.
Rumble, Rumble.
Beside the projectile, Victor sent a blast of lightning towards the lightning in an attempt to destroy it, and he was surprised that nothing had happened. The projectile’s dark energy was acting as a barrier.
‘Can’t this thing be destroyed…?’ When that thought popped into his head, an instant decision was made.
Overcoming the projectile, Victor removed Eleonor from the front of the Projectile, and he got out of the way too.
But something happened that made him open his eyes wide.
The projectile that was going in a straight line suddenly made a 180-degree turn towards him, specifically speaking towards Eleonor, who was behind him, the dark power that was in the projectile grew stronger, and the speed of the projectile increased severely.
Victor thought quickly, his brain going through the powers at his disposal that needed milliseconds to annihilate the projectile… And he realized that he didn’t have it.
He couldn’t get Eleonor and run even further, either. He simply didn’t have time since the projectile was less than a palm away from hitting his body.
‘Fuck.’ Not being able to risk the safety of Eleonor, he bit his teeth and stood in front of the Projectile, banking on his newly developed stamina.
[Roxanne!]
[I know!]
A small green aura covered Victor’s entire body.
Cough.
Victor spat blood on the ground and fell to his knees.
‘… Huh…? What is this feeling of sudden weakness-‘
At that same moment, Victor felt, with his senses, the humanoid monsters running towards them without anyone noticing, taking full advantage of the group’s low guard.
“Ugh!” Victor pointed his hand toward the direction of the invisible monsters coming, gritting his teeth as fire was produced in his body, and a few seconds later, that fire turned completely white.
“Burn!”
FUSHHHHHHHH!
The fire erased all the predators that were coming from existence.
Judy, a Valkyrie with blue hair and brown eyes, looked at Victor and then looked at the predators. Grabbing her gun from her back, pointing it at the predators, and taking several shots, effectively killing the recovering monsters.
“Victor/Father!” Nero, Ophis, Natalia, and Leona screamed.
“Eleonor, snap out of it. Wake up!” Rose screamed as she went back to ordering the Valkyries.
“… Huh…? “Eleonor opened her eyes wide when she saw Victor in front of her, bad memories started to appear in her mind, and the feeling of worry took over her body.
Rose looked around and saw several white beings approaching, taking advantage of Victor being on the ground.
“Get away!” Rose, using her sword, attacked the air several times, and several beams of power flew toward the monsters, making several cuts that left them in pieces, but just like before, they just started to rebuild…
‘Even with my sword, these white monsters can’t die?’ Rose was incredulous, but she didn’t stop attacking and tore the monsters to pieces, effectively buying time.
‘It’s like I’m fighting an Elder God again. They have the same regeneration problem-… A servant of theirs! Or Messengers.’ Rose opened her eyes wide when she realized this.
‘Fuck, this got troublesome! We have to locate the Priest who is holding their immortality.’ Rose looked at the humanoid monster who was standing there while the others did their thing.
Theorizing that it might be him, Rose didn’t hold back as her sword began to take on more monstrous features, as did her own arm, and she sliced through the air toward the monster:
“First move: Dawn.”
The humanoid monster just looked at Rose’s incoming attack and displayed a smile:
“As expected from the eldest, you are wise, but unfortunately…” A line appeared on the monster’s body, and its body began to fall in half: “You are incorrect.” Seconds later, his body began to regenerate at high speed.
‘Tsk, they won’t keep the Priest so openly, huh.’ Rose grumbled inwardly.
Victor saw this happening and wrote the information in his head, then he looked at Eleonor and said, “Do it, now!”
Eleonor shuddered with Victor’s heavy tone, she woke up from her state, and a determined look appeared on her face as she slammed her hand on the ground and screamed with rage.
“Creation!”
Quake, Quake, Quake.
The land around them began to change as the enemy group was driven away, and the ground under the monsters sank; a mess was created on the battlefield.
It was as if a superior entity decided to play creator and made new mountains and valleys easily.
Victor felt the annoyance of the completely white being.
While this was happening, the platform the group was on was filled with a sense of worry.
Anrietha, who took on the role of the group’s healer, approached Victor and started running a diagnosis on him, “I don’t know what it was, but it pierced his armor easily-…”
“Victor, your face…!” Leona screamed in horror.
The girls looked up and saw a vision of a paler than usual Victor with several black veins running down his face.
