Nameless King



Two bloody arrows headed toward the Golem at tremendous speed, intending to destroy their target. The arrows were powerful and fast enough that no one in Fifth Chronicle could resist this attack.

In the end, Alucard used a level of power that he hadn't had to unleash in a very long time.

His opponent was the rules of the World of Darkness, and he realized that it would not be easy. If he wanted to break the rules that everyone else obeyed, even dangerous monsters like Kraken, he had to do something unique.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Arrows pierced the Golem's shoulders, passing through them and exploding with a powerful bloody blast.

Streams of wind quickly came out of the open space in the colosseum, as if trying to escape from a battle that was not to be.

"Oh... That's impressive..." Gael muttered while the wind fluttered his ashy hair.

Ereg frowned, "You're not talking about Alucard's attack, right?"

Gael nodded, "Sure, the fact that those arrows would be so powerful was more than predictable. However..." Gael raised his head, directing his gaze at the Golem.

The Golem was badly wounded, however, he didn't seem to care.

Whooooooooooooosh.

The Golem's eyes shone brightly, as the two wide wounds quickly healed. The darkness simply increased in size, replacing the empty space left by the explosion of arrows.

Alucard smirked as his eyes flashed brightly, "I see... You can't kill me, you couldn't seal me, so... You decided to make me fight against someone like me?"

Wain smiled, "Damn... Though World of Darkness is an entity, it actually knows what to do to keep the rules working."

Osvald raised an eyebrow in puzzlement, "Hm? What are you talking about?"

"Don't you realize that? Do you have no idea what the purpose of this Golem is? I mean, its main ability is already obvious to everyone." Wain asked, sincerely.

Osvald shook his head. He was good at fighting and swinging his fists, but sometimes it was hard for him to understand what the point of the situation was.

"Bottom line. World of Darkness cannot allow Alucard to give Kraken a name, as it would be against the rules of open space. You can't kill Alucard, so World of Darkness tried to seal him. However, we have seen that this has proven to be a failure."

Wain continued, "So... There is only one option left. If you can't win as well as lose, then it can be a draw."

"A draw...? What's the point of that?" Osvald muttered in confusion.

Wain smiled, "It's simple. If they're both immortal and neither of them can be killed, then their fight will be eternal. In that case, even if neither of them loses, World of Darkness will win."

Osvald simply tilted his head with a blank stare. It seemed like he didn't understand what Wain was talking about and his words were some kind of nonsense. 

"They will fight forever." Marlis said irritably, shaking her head, "How can you be so stupid as to not understand such a simple plan?"

Osvald frowned, "Hey! I was just asking! What's wrong with that?"

Marlis didn't answer anything, she just snorted and crossed her arms over her chest, continuing to watch the fight.

Sven smiled slightly, "There's no need to swear. This is an unusual situation where a draw for one side will be a defeat for the other because of its duration. Thus, despite the draw, we will have a winner and a loser."

"Yeah... However, that's only if everything goes according to the plan of the World of Darkness." Wain smirked, tipping the raki on the back of his head with obvious interest, watching Alucard.

The golem didn't wait for Alucard to attack, the monster also had a purpose to show its opponent its abilities.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Golem stretched out his hand, accumulating a huge amount of purple energy in his palm, and then the sphere increased several times becoming a massive fireball.

"Oh? Trying to burn me? Go ahead! I've been through this a thousand times already!" Alucard exclaimed as he pointed at the Golem.

This time, from the large clot of blood, came not arrows but a simpler but powerful weapon. It was a giant hammer with spikes on the main part, perfect for smashing rocks into small shards.

Whoooooooooooooosh.

Alucard swung his arm and they both attacked at the same time.

The hammer was quickly in front of the Golem, starting to quickly strike the monster and smash it into pieces that quickly disappeared into the darkness.

However, Golem's attack wasn't as fast and direct, as the purple fireball moved extremely slowly.

"Hm? What's going on? Do you really think it's possible to hit me with something like that?" Alucard raised an eyebrow in confusion. He realized that his enemy was unlikely to have as high an intellect as he did, but Alucard was sure that Golem knew how to fight.

In the end, World of Darkness decided to summon this creature to stop Alucard from breaking the rules. 

Then, the sphere trembled slightly and split into hundreds of smaller ones. They surrounded Alucard on all sides, creating a dome around him.

However, the spheres were not trying to lock Alucard in here, Golem as well as World of Darkness knew that even thousands of chains would not be able to hold Alucard.

So... The only option World of Darkness had to win was to force Alucard to retreat. This could only be done if Alucard realized that this battle was not worth it and abandoned Kraken, leaving the monster without a name.

Alucard frowned slightly, he realized that the spheres had some purpose, but to find out he only had one way.

"Come on! I'm ready!" Alucard exclaimed, spreading his arms apart with a serious expression.

The Blood Hammer continued to attack the Golem, but every time the Golem took serious damage the darkness quickly repaired it. 

Pieces of stone flew off to the side, disappearing into the darkness, and soon the darkness would move to the side of the damage, and Golem would look as if nothing had happened. Regardless of how hard the hammer attacked, Golem regenerated quickly, mimicking Alucard's actions.

Then, one of the spheres trembled slightly and headed toward Alucard at a tremendous speed.

It happened so fast that it looked like a purple flash that pierced through Alucard.

"Argh!"

The sphere's flames were powerful enough to turn the immortal creature's body into a handful of ash in an instant, which hovered in open space. 

The sphere returned to its place, now it was much smaller as it had devoted a lot of energy to destroying Alucard.

However, as purple runes appeared in the darkness and flew into the sphere, it returned to its previous size.

Whoooooooooooooooooooosh.

With a burst of red energy, Alucard revived, much faster than before. It was the effect of him using Third Gate.

"Tsk. That was unpleasant, but what's next? Do you think I'm just going to stand here!" Alucard frowned, reaching forward with his hand.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

A clot of blood appeared in front of Alucard, quickly taking some form. It was a massive weapon with a long wide blade, similar to a halberd or poleaxe.

"Agh...?" Alucard's eyes went wide as his arm exploded, and a purple flash went off behind him.

Then, another sphere headed towards his leg, turning it into nothingness. A third sphere immediately attacked after the last one, passing through Alucard's chest and burning him to the ground.

Gael furrowed his brows as he narrowed his eyes, "Damn... I guess now I understand what the plan of the World of Darkness is." 

Ereg glanced at him, giving a puzzled look, "Is something wrong? Do you really think this could be a problem for Alucard?"

"I'm not sure..." Gael muttered with a complicated expression, "Alucard is immortal, but his defense is at a rather low level. You, me, or Liang are definitely superior to him in that parameter."

Ereg smirked, "Yeah, that makes sense since he's The Immortal one, if he still had the same defense as us, then I would begin to doubt the reality of our world. Such a creature shouldn't exist, though... I have quite a few questions about Alucard's immortality as well. Its power is the biggest anomaly I've seen in my long life."

Gael nodded, "Sure. I'm not worried about Alucard dying or anything else impossible. However, now he might actually lose. Just watch."

Gael pointed to the ashes that were left of Alucard.

Whooooooooooooooooooosh.

The ash shone brightly, and in a heartbeat, Alucard appeared at that spot. Recovering from this position was not a problem for him. He was going to continue creating weapons from blood, however, the World of Darkness had other plans for him.

Before Alucard could even blink, he was pierced by three different purple spheres, turning him back into ash.

Then, Alucard regenerated again, rising from the ashes like a phoenix, but his fate was already sealed.

Crackle.

At the same moment, as Alucard opened his eyes, he saw ten spheres coming straight at him. The first thought appeared in his mind, and he became ash again.
