Wain, Gael, Liang, and the others watched the battle intently. All of them were curious to see the final outcome of this historic battle as well as Nitra who was the most surprised.
Earlier, she had done a calculation and concluded that there was no way Alucard would be able to escape from the flaming sphere because he didn't have enough speed to do so.
'Alucard accelerated several times, but if he wanted to surpass the flame spheres and escape from them, it wasn't enough.' Nitra internally muttered with a dazed expression, 'In order to win he had to accelerate several dozen times, but now there's no need for that!'
Using parts of his body, including bones and organs, Alucard created several hundred clones. Technically, this meant that the flaming spheres now had a hundred times more targets, which meant that Alucard no longer needed to move tens of times faster. Now, his current speed was more than enough for him.
Whoooooooosh.
The fire spheres quickly began to attack each clone, intending to turn them into ashes like before, but now Alucard wasn't going to just die. He was already savoring his brief victory by throwing taunts towards World of Darkness. He needed to move on.
"Fine! It's time for you to learn what defeat is! I'll be the first to show you that rules aren't everything! There are those for whom the rules don't matter!" Alucard exclaimed with an excited expression before swinging his hand.
All of his clones did the same, dodging the spheres at the same time. The spheres were just as fast as before, they were even trying to become even faster, but there were far fewer of them.
Alucard used to have several hundred spheres launched at him, but now he only had to dodge one of them. For someone of his level, it was quite easy to do so, just like his clones, they didn't even need to exert themselves. They did it naturally thanks to their excellent instincts.
At the same moment, a clot of blood appeared in front of each clone, quickly transforming into some kind of weapon.
Each clone had a different weapon, as the choice was mostly random. Some had a sword, some had a spear or an axe, it didn't matter. The only thing that mattered was that now, they all had weapons against which the flame spheres were useless.
"Go! My army! We will destroy these spheres and free my pet! All for the sake of it!" Alucard exclaimed, swinging a huge greatsword.
The sharp blade of the sword effortlessly sliced the flaming sphere apart, then Alucard's pupils narrowed and he attacked a few more times.
In a second, he swung the massive sword more than ten times, turning the formidable sphere into almost nothing. All that was left of the sphere were bits of flame that quickly dissipated into the void.
"Damn... I didn't know he was so good with a sword." Liang muttered with a raised eyebrow, surprised.
Nitra smirked, for some reason, she was very happy that Alucard was doing well. It seemed like she wanted him to win, but was trying to hide it, until now.
"Hah, not just with a sword! Just look over there!" Nitra exclaimed, pointing at one clone.
In this clone's hands was a long spear with a thin tip. Such a spear was perfect for piercing one's opponent, but no more than that. Because of the shape of the blade, this spear was not suitable for swinging with it like a sword, only for direct lunges.
The clone attacked quickly, piercing the sphere that was coming at him with its spear. The sphere only needed one second to reach the clone and turn it into ash, but that was more than enough time.
Whooooooooooooooooooosh.
About ten lunges with the spear, each time piercing the sphere and destroying its structure. It was enough to make another sphere disappear forever from the arena of death created by World of Darkness, especially for Alucard.
Wain smirked, "Hehehe, that bastard actually enjoys his abilities. Only he can make a clone from his hand and use his regeneration that way. To be honest, I'm a bit jealous."
Sven smiled slightly, "Well, I think we all share the same feeling. I'd be interested in experiencing something like that too, damn, that's pretty ironic."
"Hmm? What are you talking about?" Wain raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"Each of us, the Progenitors and those at the top of the Transcendence Stage. We have all created our own powers, we are the anomalies of this world and are capable of performing true miracles that others are not capable of and never will be.
However, even with all that, we still have envy and interest in things. Now that got me thinking... Is it possible that there is a power that Alucard would want for himself?"
Wain shrugged, "I don't know, but I don't see it as strange. Don't forget, that even if we are the strongest, we are not omnipotent. No one is omnipotent, not World of Darkness, not me, not Arox, not even the Dragon Progenitor."
Sven nodded silently with a thoughtful expression. Unlike the others, he was not a race leader, an ancient being, or a Progenitor. He was a simple Arkan who through a long journey had reached the absolute pinnacle.
In the end, Sven's powers were enough to kill Polosa, Progenitor of Plants.
Bam. Bam. Bam.
The clones continued to destroy the flaming spheres, and soon there was nothing left of them at all. From the huge arena that had hundreds of spheres inside, there were now only a few, or rather, there had been until this second.
The blood weapon effortlessly tore them apart, freeing Alucard from the captivity he had spent quite some time in. It may have been the most difficult battle against an undead opponent in his life.
"Damn... Anyway, it was impressive. I had to use Third Gate and even come up with something new to win. I never thought I'd have to put in so much effort today..." Alucard smirked, then he took a deep breath.
Alucard raised his hand, of which only a few pieces remained after the bloody explosion. Then, all the clones looked at each other and turned into clots of blood, heading towards Alucard.
"Shit... What's happening to him...?" Nila muttered with a frightened expression.
Alucard's recovery wasn't going as usual. Instead of healing all his wounds and returning to normal, his blood and body parts, along with his bones, were turning into something else.
Cells continued to divide uncontrollably, creating new flesh and even organs just like the eyes that were floating on this ghastly mass.
"Well, it looks like it has some problems regenerating from this position." Liang muttered with deep gaze, as he put his hand on the hilt of his sword, "I might have to help him."
Liang was about to step forward, since even after a moment Alucard was unable to take control of the process. He thought that cutting Alucard into several pieces was the best option to make it easier for him to recover.
However, Liang was unable to take the next step because of the immense pressure that descended on him. Liang turned around and saw Gael's intense gaze, preventing him from even moving.
'Oh... Looks like I've made a mistake. Yeah, maybe I shouldn't do this, I understand.''
Liang didn't say anything, but everything was clear from his expression slightly changed and deep gaze.
Step.
Liang returned to his seat, next to Nila and Nitra who were watching Alucard intently.
The meat sphere continued to grow, and it seemed that Alucard could no longer regain control. It didn't mean he was crazy or anything like that, but most onlookers were sure he needed help.
However, some realized that it wasn't necessary.
Before this fight, Alucard had never created clones, so technically he had to learn how to do it now, even though he'd had the opportunity before.
If he was already able to learn something once, why couldn't it happen again on the same day?
Whoooooooooooooooooooosh.
The blood hammer that had been trying to destroy the Golem all this time because that was the order of its master, suddenly stopped.
Then, the hammer quickly headed towards the meat sphere, exploding and destroying everything into small particles.
Golem thrust his hand forward, creating a beam of purple flame and completely incinerating whatever was left of Alucard. Golem couldn't do this earlier, as the hammer would simply get in the way.
Gael smirked, "That's it. Now, this Golem, as well as World of Darkness, has officially lost."
Whoooooosh.
With a bright red flash, Alucard appeared amongst the darkness, the same as before, wearing a long crimson coat, blonde hair, ruby eyes, and a confident smirk on his face.
"Ready? This will be our last meeting!" Alucard exclaimed before creating a huge spear made of blood, the strongest he had ever created before.
