Chapter 450: True Warriors Victor appeared in Eleanor's territory. "Thank you, Natalia." "..." She bowed in respect, "When you need to come back, just call me." "Of course." When Natalia was about to go through the portal, Victor said: "Oh, Natalia." "Hmm?" "If you need anything... Anything, know that you can always count on me." "…Eh?" "I don't know how to pay for your services, so I can only offer my help." Victor spoke as he shrugged his shoulders as if he had no choice. "..." 'Does he have no idea how expensive his help is? ... People will die for his 'little' help. After all, he is the most influential man in the Nightingale.' Victor knew that, but he didn't think even his help would be enough to repay Natalia. Victor chuckled a little when he saw Natalia's shocked look: "Don't think too much, just understand that if you need anything, you can ask for my help." "...O-Okay...Thanks, Victor." "No problem." Victor turned and walked towards where he felt Eleanor. ... Victor opened the door and was faced with the sight of Eleanor and the Valkyries the way they were born into the world, most only wearing panties as underwear. In the blink of an eye, Victor looked at all the girls in the room, silently appreciating their figures, but didn't display any perverted desires or anything like that. According to his mother's book on how to treat a woman 101. Women get angry when they are not appreciated but still want to be appreciated, the solution to this dilemma? Enjoy it for a few seconds, then treat it normally. The first thing he said when he entered was: "Eleanor... And Girls." He waved to everyone in a slow gesture. "Victor?" Eleanor quickly covered herself, but not out of shame. She was a warrior, and if her armor broke in the midst of the fight, she would not have time to cover herself and act ashamed but to protect her 'honor' from the 'lust' of the big bad wolf. Though she narrowed her eyes when she saw that Victor was looking at her with nothing but a neutral gaze as if he was used to it. Which is probably true considering the number of women around him. But it still leaves a bad taste in Eleanor's mouth. 'I'm not pretty? Why doesn't he look at me with eyes like he wants to devour me?' "Oh, Alucard." Rose raised an eyebrow when she saw the man's entrance and smiled in amusement when she saw his neutral gaze. "I came to fulfill my promise. Where can I get that black armor? I don't need the gun." Victor commented while looking at Rose, he was going to talk to Eleanor, but with her state now, he judged it to be impossible. "Hmm, Countess Eleanor asked our blacksmiths to create a custom armor for you." "…Does this armor have a cape?" "Of course not, why the question?" "Just checking... You as warriors know how useless the cape is, right?" "Yes." +7 "Vic, Vic." Dorothy approached Victor and said: "What do you intend to do?" "Defeat them all?" Victor thought she was talking about the monsters. "No, I mean... about that." She pointed at Eleanor. "Huh?" Eleanor pointed to herself. Victor raised a gentle little smile that caught the girls off guard and spoke: "...We will see." "Hehehehe~, if you want our help, just say so." "Nah, I get by." Victor shrugged. "If you say so... I won't interfere too much." "But you should know that they are denser than 10 black holes put together." "Believe it or not, our teacher is worse." "…really?" Dorothy could not believe that woman was the equal of the countess of her territory. "Really, really." "Bruh, this is ridiculous." "I understand you." Victor sighed a little. If it weren't for Violet and her honest personality, it would take Scathach years to understand her feelings on her own. "Anyway..." He looked at Eleanor and enjoyed her figure again with his neutral eyes masked by his poker face mask that he'd learned to wear thanks to years of experience from Adonis' memoirs, then he spoke: "Thank you so much for the gift, Eleanor." "Y-You welcome... Cough." She tried to calm her heart a little because of the emotional damage she felt seeing Victor's kind face, and said: "As your physique is slimmer than our male warriors, you needed custom armor anyway." "Indeed, I noticed that most of the women and men in this town are 185 – 200 CM tall." "Yes, that's the norm around here since our bloodline merging with the monsters has greatly increased our physique." "I see, that is interesting..." Victor touched his chin and seemed to think of something, then he looked at the Valkyries: "Girls." "...?" The Valkyries look at Victor, confused. "Are we going to train later?" "The rules are simple, you can use only physical techniques." "...." Everyone's eyes seemed to sparkle for a few seconds, and a smile appeared on everyone's face. 'Oh...?' "Yes! Let's have fun!" Dorothy spoke for everyone in her excited tone. "... Well, it will be interesting to train with a Count." Rose spoke as she twirled her hair like she wasn't interested, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face. "Sure... But you must not hold back, Alucard." Alexa spoke in a serious tone. "Don't worry, I won't." "Good." She was satisfied. Seeing that they all seem to accept it, he laughed amusedly: "Don't take too long, I'll go get my armor." "W-Wait, are you going now?" "Of course, I will fulfill the promise I made to you." "But, this kind of invasion needs protection." "Eleanor, have you forgotten who I am?" Slowly Victor's smile began to grow. "..." "I alone am enough." He wore a neutral smile, one that didn't give off arrogance or a sense of superiority. It was just a smile that stated an undeniable fact. Victor was definitely not as strong as an older vampire in his 'base' form, but after he unleashes his vampire Count transformation power, he becomes 3x stronger, and this gives him the power of an older vampire. Not to mention his blood power that can affect the souls of beings, and his personal 'transformation' that is even more special than the count vampire transformation. But even without using it, he was a troublesome opponent because of the fire, ice, water, and lightning powers that most of them have such a ridiculous range, not to mention his martial arts and close combat techniques. And adding the fact that he was learning to 'manipulate' his elemental powers better... He was an extremely troublesome adversary to fight against... An irregularity with several powers he shouldn't have. "Valkyries and Eleanor, meet me in front of the gate, I will tell Walter that you are going for a night walk with me." He turned around, and the girls just heard: "A long and fun night out~" When the door closed, a silence fell around them. "…That was cool, fuck." Martha, a woman who was considered kind and would never say a bad word, just said this. "Indeed." Juliet, a woman with long blond hair and white eyes, spoke. "…." "What?" Martha commented with a gentle smile. "...just surprised at what you said." Eleanor spoke. "I mean, even after all the time I've lived, I haven't seen anyone like him from the Noble Vampires, so yes…" "Yes, what?" Eleanor was extremely confused by the woman's strange phrase. "What she's trying to say is that he's a good catch." Rose summed it up too much. "Wrong, what she's trying to say is, normally someone with his strength would be arrogant as fuck, but him? He's just confident." Alexa explained. "And that's attractive..." She muttered in a low voice, but everyone present could hear what she said. Seeing the girls and even her commander thinking of Victor as a possible lover, or something else, she said: "... He's married." "That's not a problem, Solomon had 1000 wives." Rose spoke up. "....." Eleanor wanted to find an argument for this, but she couldn't until something flashed in her head. "He only likes crazy, possessive, fighting women." "Ohh... It looks like only our leader has a chance, that's a shame." Alexa spoke. "…Eh?" "Sigh, this is sad, but we must sacrifice ourselves for our leader." Dorothy commented. "That's interesting, Clan Adrastea has never had a Clan leader who married outside the Clan itself, so this will be a nice change of pace..." Judy commented in a cold tone. "Indeed, indeed." Anrietha waved several times. "...." Eleanor just realized that she had dug her own grave when talking about Victor. "Hmph." She huffed and ignored her handmaidens, then began to don her armor. "..." The girls displayed a small smile when they saw their leader's attitude. Most, if not all, of the valkyries treat Eleanor like their little sister. After all, they saw Eleanor grow up. "...Thinking of something... He saw us naked." Judy commented. "....." A silence fell around them. "And he didn't react at all." Judy continued. "You're wrong." Rose commented, "Oh...?" Judy and the girls looked at Rose, Eleanor too. "He appreciated our figure, but it happened so briefly that you didn't notice... He just wasn't a degenerate and treated us normally." "..." A smile appeared on the faces of everyone present, including Eleanor. "Fufufu, this is interesting… I wonder who taught him all that? He seems to know very well how to treat a woman…" Martha commented aloud. "He's also quite capable..." Judy commented when she remembered the noise of destruction from the Fulger house. "... On second thought, can't we approach him?" Rose was the one who spoke this time. As an older vampire, it was hard to find someone like Victor. "We can make him a new Solomon." "I think that is a good idea—." Random conversations like these started happening as the girls changed, they were clearly having fun with Eleanor and the girl's reactions. ... Standing in front of the gate was a group of nine people. Victor, Eleanor, and the 7 Valkyries. Victor was wearing completely black armor with red accents. The armor had a design quite different from the standard armors of Eleanor's army, and Victor's entire body, including his feet, was covered with a type of large 'thorn'. According to the blacksmith, Victor's armor was designed for use as a weapon, meaning if he uses his superior physical strength and jumps on the enemy, the enemies will take damage because of the sharp spikes. If Victor punches someone, the punch will pierce the monster's belly. An armor completely thinking about Victor's battle style. A madman's battle style... A Berserker. Victor looked up towards the walls. Specifically speaking, he looked at Nero, Pepper, Lacus, and Mizuki. He disappeared from where he was and appeared in front of them. "Father, come back safe." "I will." He spoke while stroking Nero's head. "Mm…" She nodded, satisfied.𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖 "Pepper, as your training is over, go back with Lacus to the human world. Your sister needs you." He approached Pepper and hugged her body. "Help your sister train the techniques you learned…" "...I will..." She said as she hugged him. "Good." Victor stopped hugging Pepper and patted Lacus' head: "I count on you, my daughter." "Stop, don't call me that. I'm not prepared, physically, mentally, or spiritually, to hear you call me that." "... Hehe~, but it's still true." "Yes, we know..." She commented with a red face. "Hahaha~ don't worry, I won't call you guys that. It's weird for me too, you know?" He chuckled as he stroked her head further. "... Fortunately." She really was grateful. "Mizuki." His gentle tone changed to serious. "...." The older Japanese woman looked at Victor: "I hope that at the end of this 'cleaning', you will have an answer for me on the previous matter." "... Why do you want to know that?" "Curiosity... I want to know the real you, your real motivation." "...." Mizuki was silent. "Nero, if Jeanne or Morgana shows up talking about her kids... Just say I'll train them in the time I have here." Victor thought about the two women who were now in Vlad's castle teaching their children. "Okay, Father." "Umu, it's time to go." He appeared in front of the girls again and raised his hand forward. FUSHHHHH. A few seconds later, an Odachi appeared in his hand. "Eleanor, do the honors." She held the Greatsword behind her back with her hand: "The objective is simple: hunt and destroy." Victor's smile, along with the valkyries', grew wider. "I like that goal." Simple and easy to understand. "Indeed." Rose laughed. "We are going to clean everything around 10,000 km from our city." "Now, go." "I will go ahead, and I will open the wind." Taking the lead, Victor began to run 'normally' without the power of lightning or the fog of vampires. BOOOM. The sound of a sonic boom was heard. In less than a few seconds, the group disappeared from the view of the walls, and all they saw from afar was a foreign 'force' entering the forest and destroying everything in front of them like a force of nature. "Victor, did you need to destroy the forest?" Eleanor, who was running after him, spoke as she looked at the man who was hitting the trees with his body and making them disappear. "I don't want to cut the path or dodge trees since it will take a long time... And from what you said, when a monster dies, the area around it comes to life, meaning that destruction will be compensated with the monster's death. "Win-Win situation." "I see... Just don't go too far into the forest. The further you go from the forest, the stronger the monsters," Eleanor commented. "10,000 KM is the limit for us." Rose continued, "More from that, Behemoth class monsters started to appear, and if you go deeper, you would be able to find 'leaders' and Titan class monsters that are much stronger than the Behemoths." "Rose, you-... Fuck." Eleanor did a facepalm. "What problem?" she asked curiously. "Heh~, In this case, let's do 100,000 KM. It's time to clean up." Victor became much more determined. "...." Rose and the Valkyries broke out in a cold sweat now. Fighting titan Class leaders and monsters isn't the issue, the issue is their numbers, and there will often be multiple titans and Behemoths together the further you go into the forest. "Don't worry, Girls. You will not die, I will not allow it." "It's not death we're afraid of." Eleanor spoke for her and for the girls. "... It's a useless death to die." "...." Victor's smile grew even wider and threatened to completely distort his face. 'True warriors.' Only Victor could know how happy he was. "Okay, I won't exaggerate. We'll go as far as you reach your limits." "…Eh?" Eleanor looked at Victor in shock. 'Am I dreaming? Did I just hear that Victor won't overdo it? Huh? This is a dream, right? Because if not, Victor is suspect! Who is this man!?' "Thank you, Alucard." "You Welcome... Now, let's have fun." Victor's eyes glowed violet: "Yes!" +8 ......
