Chapter 88: A little monster was created. "Father…" Zwei spoke in a neutral tone. "I know... I didn't expect this result either." Niklaus spoke with a serious face, very different from what he'd shown before. Hearing Scathach Scarlett's laugh, the man clenched his fist a little harder. He felt cheated, now he understood why that woman was so confident, but soon his expression became serene since he remembered that even if his son lost to Victor, he wouldn't lose the count title. He would just lose Scathach's support. 'That woman, did she do all this just to show off her disciple?' Niklaus thought it was very unlikely, she didn't seem like that kind of woman. Niklaus looked at Victor: "What kind of monster are you?" His curiosity started to grow. For him, a vampire who could use three completely opposite powers was something quite interesting; 'Is he an experiment organized by the three clans? Are they in an alliance?' Niklaus thought that an abnormal vampire like Victor couldn't be born suddenly overnight; someone must have created him. "…" Jessica looked at Victor and then looked at her father, 'He really didn't recognize him? Is he getting senile?' She thought inwardly. Jessica looks at Victor again, 'Although... He has changed a lot compared to his old appearance.' Violet Snow, the heiress of Clan Snow. She's spent her entire growth phase in the human world, and that would obviously arouse a little curiosity from the other clans. 'What is Clan Snow's heiress doing in the human world?' That was their curiosity at the time, and to satiate their curiosity, they sent someone to investigate, and the result disappointed most of them. 'Oh, so she's just obsessed with new food.' That's what the older vampires thought, and they completely forgot about that subject. They would never imagine that this 'food' would become what it is today. Victor's smile grew: "C'mon, C'mon! Get up!" "What are you waiting for!? I know you weren't defeated by that alone. I trust you, don't disappoint me!" Rumble! The sound of lightning was heard. Hearing this, Victor's smile only grew more distorted, "Good~." Soon Tatsuya appeared in front of Victor, his appearance was immaculate as always, but some parts of his Yukata were completely destroyed. "I don't know how it feels to know you trust me." He spoke in a neutral tone as he stretched his body a little. 'That hurt...' BOOOOOM! An explosion is heard by everyone, and soon Einer appears beside Tatsuya: "Mother Fucker." Einer's expression was not good. "HaHaHa~" Slap, Slap! Victor started to laugh out loud as he clapped his hands. "Good, Good! That's how it has to be! If that weren't so, it wouldn't be fun!" "I almost died..." Tatsuya muttered with a neutral expression. Tatsuya was wondering if this man had forgotten the rules. Victor looked at Tatsuya, "Don't lie to me. I knew you would survive that attack." "..." Tatsuya remained silent since he didn't want to deny or confirm Victor's words. "And you." He pointed to Einer. "I knew you would survive that small slap I gave." '... Small slap? That one...? I almost died!' Einer was quite annoyed. "Now! Let's continue!" With a small thrust of his arms, Victor threw his greatsword towards them both. "!!!" The two quickly dodged the attack. BOOOOOM! Like a missile hitting the ground, the sword was destroyed and created a massive explosion of pure ice. Looking at this scene, Einer and Tatsuya look at each other for a few seconds and nod. They seemed to have come to a common understanding. Einer pulled away from Tatsuya, his body slowly grew, his skin turned dark, and long black wings appeared behind him. "Oh?" Victor's smile only widened as he saw Einer step into vampire count form. Tatsuya's body began to crackle, and, gradually, his body was covered in Lightning, and soon he disappeared in a flash of golden light. "HaHaHa," Victor creates another ice greatsword and defends against Tatsuya's attack. Beng! The sound of swords clashing was heard by everyone. "Have you finally decided to use all your power?" "…" Tatsuya didn't answer. He didn't need to; he just concentrated on using the lightning power more. He uses his power to increase his speed, and soon he disappears in front of Victor. Suddenly a large black thorn came out of the ground, pierced Victor's stomach, and lifted him into the air. "Die!" Einer threw black thorns from his wings. "HaHaHaHa," Despite having a massive wound in his stomach, Victor never stopped laughing. "Darling/Husband!?" Ruby, Violet, and Sasha exclaimed at the same time. "…Are you really vampires? That wound is nothing, watch." Scathach spoke. Victor snaps his fingers, and a large ice pillar is created that destroys the black thorn. Then he stood on top of the pillar and created an ice shield in front of him. The thorns thrown by Einer hit the ice shield and do not leave a scratch. "Tsk." Not wanting to give up, he continued to throw the thorns into the ice shield. Slowly, the shield began to crack, but just when Einer thought it would be destroyed, the ice shield suddenly regenerated! "FUCK! Die! Die!" "HaHaHa," Victor chuckled in amusement. He liked seeing Einer's angry expression. A few seconds passed, and a scene happened that left all the younger vampires gaping: Victor's stomach regenerated at an abnormal speed, and his clothing was also intact! It was like he went back in time! And it was in less than 7 seconds! "...What is this guy?" They kept being surprised to see Victor's abilities. "See?" Scathach smiled. "…" Sasha, Violet, and Ruby knew this, but they were still worried! Tatsuya suddenly appears behind Victor. He was floating in the air with his body covered in lightning as he positioned himself in an Iaijutsu pose. "Oh? Are you going to use that technique!?" Victor's smile grew. "Ryujin... Hakai no sora!" He unsheathed his katana at an almost invisible speed. ROOOOAAAAAAAR! Just like the last time, a blue-eyed oriental dragon with golden scales covered in lightning flew toward Victor. "OOOOOHHH!" The audience was excited when they saw that eastern dragon again. And the audience wasn't the only one; Victor was too. "Aaaah~, it's so beautiful." Victor wore a satisfied smile as if he were enjoying a piece of art. "But..." Victor raises his hand in front of him, the magic circle on his glove starts to glow brightly, "It's a shame it's so weak..." He waits for the dragon to touch his hand, and a vision that all young vampires and Tatsuya won't forget happens. The dragon became a sculpture of ice... "... How is this possible!? He froze the lightning! It makes no sense!" "…This…" Tatsuya was speechless. Victor clenched his fist a little, and soon the entire ice sculpture was destroyed, then he looked at Tatsuya with his eyes glowing red: "It's my turn." Tatsuya unconsciously took a step back when he saw Victor's gaze, and upon realizing what he had done, it made him very angry with himself; 'Me scared? Me!?' 'Unforgivable!' He was very strict with himself. "When you meet something you don't know... You feel scared." He suddenly heard Victor's voice beside him. He quickly turned around in an attempt to react, but it was useless, and Victor grabs Tatsuya by the neck: "Apparently, you feel it too~." "Let go of me!" Tatsuya started to struggle. He tried to cut Victor's arm, but Victor's arm was covered in pure ice, and Tatsuya's katana couldn't cut the ice from his arm! "Okay. I will." Victor showed an innocent smile. "Eh?" While holding Tatsuya's neck, Victor rolled a little in the air and threw him towards Einer. Seeing Tatsuya flying towards him, Einer flashed a smile, he thought it was a good idea to submit Tatsuya now, but thinking that he would have to face Victor alone later, he changed his mind... He decided to help Tatsuya. He flies towards Tatsuya and catches him in the air, "Stop playing around. Let's defeat this monster soon." "What do you think I'm trying to do?" Tatsuya spoke in a serious tone as he covered his body with lightning. The giant ice shield that Victor created melted, and Victor began to control the water towards the sky. "Today's weather forecast is ice thorns~. Take care of the children." He displayed an innocent smile. "This fucker...!" Einer's eyes flashed with anger. Soon a shower of icy thorns began to fall towards the two men. Tatsuya managed to dodge the attacks using his lightning power. However, a very different situation was happening with Einer, as he didn't have much mobility in the air, he decided to use his thorns as a defense. "Hmm, Hmm." Victor seemed to be tuning his voice, then he spoke with an innocent smile on his face: "Attention, please. We have just received information that intense lightning showers are on the way." Rumble, Rumble! Sounds of thundering lightning could be heard in the sky. "Mother Fucker..." This time even Tatsuya insulted Victor. And as Victor spoke, an intense rain of lightning began to fall towards Tatsuya and Einer. "Fuck!" Lightning broke through Einer's defense and hit him. The same happened with Tatsuya. "Ugh." Despite having the power of lightning, Tatsuya was not immune to it. Why? "Fire…?" The audience was speechless when they saw that wherever the lightning struck, a few seconds later, that same area caught fire, and it was quite obvious that this occurrence was unnatural. "Can that monster merge his power!?" Someone in the audience screamed. "Hahahahaha!" Victor laughed a lot. "He looks like he's having fun..." Ruby flashed a small smile. "Yeah." Sasha also displayed a small smile. "... Darling~." Violet's eyes looked quite dangerous now. Narrowly surviving the rain of lightning and icy thorns, the two looked at Victor with an annoyed look. "Good, Good!" Victor started clapping again with a big smile on his face, but as if by magic, his smile changed to an innocent smile, and he said: "But… What are you going to do with this one?" He pointed to the sky. Einer and Tatsuya, even the audience, looked up at the sky. And the first thing they saw was... A giant spike of ice that could easily cover the entire arena. "Fuck…" The two spoke at the same time. .......
