As the eight girls surrounded Alucard in a half circle, the first one to step forward was a certain light blue haired rabbit-girl, Shia. This of course didn't go unnoticed by Miyabi, who remarked with a sneer as soon as he saw her prepare to fight,
"Oh look, a fluffy little bunny rabbit." Shia's brow twitched when she heard this, and, before her opponent could even react, there was a sudden impact right in the middle of its body, causing the chest to cave in slightly before the force of Shia's punch sent Alucard flying backwards while the resulting shockwave shattered almost all of the windows immediately surrounding them. With Alucard's massive body impacting the ground hard enough that their surroundings shook as if an earthquake was happening, he looked up to see Shia now above him with her feet braced against a magic circle and her legs bent as if they were a loaded spring.
"How's this for a 'fluffy little bunny rabbit'?" She muttered under her breath, before pushing off her makeshift foothold with enough force that shockwaves filled the air around her as she rocketed down towards Alucard's body. The instant she made contact with his body there was a moment of silence, before a massive ripple spread out from the pulverized flesh of Alucard's body that shook the surroundings several times more than when his body hit the ground, while the earth seemed to roar in response to the abuse she had inflicted on it.
Even with the ground still rumbling and the buildings still shaking, Shia leapt back up to where she had started with light, "Hup!", before making a guts pose victoriously even as Alucard's body started reforming right before them. Seemingly unconcerned about this though, Shia then shouted to the others, "Tag, you're up!"
In response two other girls stepped forward to face Alucard, one with her ponytail flowing behind her while she firmly grasped her katana, the other with her tail twitching side to side from nerves. By this point Alucard's body had finished regenerating, except now it was more slender to seemingly make it's movements faster and more efficient. As it returned to the battle Miyabi ignored the two new combatants and directed his gaze at Shia, his eyes narrowing in irritation towards the carefree rabbit girl as the dozen or so tentacles extending from its back rose up, and were pointed right at her. Without even a trace of worry on her face Shia laughed as the tentacles homed in on her with deadly accuracy, before they were suddenly severed and diced into pieces by the six Shizukus that suddenly appeared in front of her.
"I may not be a battle junkie like some people, but even I'll get annoyed if my opponent starts ignoring me..." She stated indignantly as Alucard turned his gaze towards her, right as they suddenly heard the shout on the other side,
"PROMOTION, 'KNIGHT'!" Kurumu cried out, right before she suddenly vanished from view, even without the help of her illusions, and reappeared briefly right before several long gashed were left in Alucard's back courtesy of her nails. With his attention turning to her though, and his tentacles already regrowing, Kurumu smiled confidently and didn't even try to dodge the attack as one of them stabbed at her, only to phase right through her body and impale the building behind her.
Immediately she suddenly reappeared once more, before doubling, then tripling, and then quadrupling. Soon the number of both Kurumus and even Shizukus quickly passed a hundred each, all darting too and fro around Alucard while Miyabi struggled to keep up with which ones were actually harming him. Eventually he just raised up both of his arms in front of him, intending to simply sweep the area with them and catch the annoying girls up in the destruction.
What happened instead though was that right as he put the strength into his arms to move them, blood suddenly sprayed from the appendages before they dropped down to his sides lifelessly. It was then that Alucard heard a certain voice singing, and turned to see the siren from before directing her gaze right at him with the same intense look in her eyes. While his attention was on Shia, Shizuku, and Kurumu, Sun had used her voice to slowly deal microscopic damage to the muscles throughout Alucard's body, before delivering the final blow right when he was about to use his large scale attack to prevent her comrades from being hurt, while also creating an opening for them to attack.
Naturally Shizuku and Kurumu didn't miss this chance, as the latter put her efforts into controlling her illusions, while the former sent all six of her clones down at Alucard's legs to target the muscles holding it up. The result was both legs buckling as Alucard stepped towards Sun to eliminate her support, sending its massive body crashing to the earth once again.
As Alucard fell once more, Shizuku and Kurumu both gathered on the same rooftop as Sun before the former said to the petite girl, "Your support is so amazing Sun! It makes me feel useless putting in all that effort for only so little damage..." As she trailed off Kurumu nodded and added while looking ruefully at her nails,
"I know why you mean.... It's hard being on the front lines against an opponent like this when all I can do is scratch them with my nails...." When she heard this however Sun quickly shook her head and exclaimed,
"Not at all! The only reason I was able to do as much damage as I did was because you two had his attention the whole time while I sat back here where it was safe. Besides, I'm sure things would be different if we were allowed to finish him off instead of waiting for Moka and Alex...." As she trailed off as well the other two thought about what she said while Shizuku looked at her katana curiously, as she hadn't used the 'Demonic Dragons Flames' that Alex had added when he first made them. If she had used them then it was entirely possible that Alucard's body would have been quickly engulfed by the persistent flames until nothing was left, but that wasn't what they were asked to do. If the flat out destruction and slaughter of Alucard was their goal, then Rias, Grayfia, Kuroka, and Yue all would have also joined the fight by now instead of just trying to contain the damage. While the trio were talking though a growl that made the air vibrate tore through them, while Alucard stood once more and Miyabi said disdainfully,
"Impressive skills, but unfortunately it'll take more than a few scratches to put us down. Stop dragging this out longer than it has to be, no matter how much you struggle it'll end the same way regardless!" To the stereotypical super villain speech, Shizuku fought the urge to sigh before she instead took a stance with her sheathed katana in front of Alucard and said,
"Before we get back into it, let me try something first." Kurumu and Sun glanced at each other for a second before both girls shrugged, and stepped back to give Shizuku space. Of course when he saw her stance Alucard stated,
"I already told you it's worthless." Ignoring him Shizuku took in a deep breath, before slowly releasing it as she focused her sword intent and Spatial magic. Then, in a fraction of a second, she appeared to soundlessly teleport to another building behind Alucard while resheathing her katana with a small 'click'.
Unlike Shia's movements, which were based on explosive power and made lots of noise, Shizuku's was silent and graceful. Her attacks left one wondering what exactly had just happened, before they finally realized they were injured. It was the same this time as, an entire second after she had resheathed her katana, there was a giant splatter of blood as a massive gash appeared across Alucard's chest, while its left arm completely detached and fell to the streets below. Instead of looking back at the effect of her attack though, Shizuku took in a deep breath as she tried to recover the energy she used in the single attack.
Naturally not just Alucard, but every one of the other members of Alex's peerage were in awe of Shizuku's attack as it was the single most powerful strike they had ever seen her deliver, an impressive feat for someone who was supposed to be a sneaky ninja. Predictably Alucard was nearly unfazed by the sudden attack, with the giant gash on its chest quickly closing while its arm had also started regrowing. Instead Miyabi turned towards Shizuku and said,
"Once again that was impressive, but irrelevant. Perhaps to show you how meaningless your actions are, I should eliminate those civilians you're trying so hard to protect?" As he spoke the severed arm started bubbling disgustingly, before the flesh suddenly burst open and a sea of monsters poured out that surged towards the area everyone evacuated to like a tidal wave. Seeing the horde, Kuroka said as she started moving towards them,
"Finally something to do~Nya, I'll go deal with them!" Right as the words left her mouth though, another voice suddenly answered,
"Um Kuroka, could you please let me take care of them? I also want to test the results of my training!" The nekomata made a face at Anne's request, before saying bitterly,
"Whatever you say, 'Dragon Empress'~Nya." This time it was Anne's turn to make a face at the title she had acquired recently, due to both her status as Alex's 'official' wife and her Dragon Slayer abilities. Putting the embarrassing title out of her mind, Anne called out to the surrounding Angels,
"Spread out and funnel the approaching monsters down this street, I don't want them trying to go around us to get to the people!" The Angels that had accompanied her, members of her Emergency Response Team, immediately flew up and took positions on the tops of the nearby buildings, where they used their mastery over light to make sure the tidal wave of monsters didn't divert their path.
As they approached with their long and slender beastial bodies, all pitch black with yellow bulbous abscesses and long lethal claws on each hand, drool dripping from their ravenous mouths as they raced towards the feast before them. Anne took in a breath and closed her eyes as she calmed her racing heart, before opening them to reveal that her pupils had become reptilian slits.
Patches of scales started forming along her arms and her cheeks, while Anne's hair and the veils and ribbons adorning her dancers outfit started floating and drifting in a wind that didn't exist seconds before. As if in slow motion Anne stepped forward, before she suddenly rushed towards the horde of monsters while raising a whirlwind that blasted back at those standing behind her. As she quickly approached the horde Anne narrowed her eyes before muttering quietly,
"Sky Dragon's Severing Claws!" As she passed through the monsters, Anne slashed her hands to the sides while both were surrounded with razor sharp winds, shredding the monsters into pieces instantly before they also slashed and destroyed most of the area around her.
When she go to the point where she was practically surrounded by the rest of the several hundred monsters, Anne stopped her charge and pivoted on one foot with the grace of a dancer, before sweeping her hands around her to create a twister that picked up and shredded the creatures surrounding her. Once the twister she had created started to settle down the area around Anne was completely cleared of any other thing, either living or inanimate, and the rest of the oncoming horde was watching her warily.
Slowly Anne turned to face the creatures that hadn't moved forward to attack yet, her still reptilian eyes focusing on them as she placed a foot forward to brace herself as she decided to wipe out as many as possible at once. She didn't have the same magic power reserves as Alex or even the majority of his peerage, instead she was able to 'eat' the air around her in order to refuel herself whenever she fought. The problem was that she was in the middle of a city and the air there was heavily polluted, meaning if she tried to 'eat' it then she'd instead lose what power she had left. Instead Anne braced herself and took in as deep a breath as possible without crippling herself, and screamed as loudly as she could,
"SKY DRAGON'S ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!"
As she shouted a colossal vortex of air formed from her mouth as it traveled down the street into the waiting horde of monsters. It picked up everything around it, even cars, and added them to danger as the twister crashed into the horde and kept going. Whatever wasn't immediately shredded by the razor-like blades of wind was instead battered and assaulted by the numerous debris that the roar had picked up.
For as long as she could Anne maintained the roar that turned the single street into a disaster zone from all of the debris she had displaced, until finally she had to cut it off to reveal that, while she hadn't gotten all of them, there was hardly any creatures left. Feeling a sour sensation in her nose, Anne turned away from them and ordered the accompanying Angels,
"Please take care of the rest of them, I'm going back to the evacuees." With the angels moving to do as she asked, Anne looked down at her trembling hands before gripping them tightly, and muttering, "I need to get stronger!"
Ever since reincarnating she had never once desired power, instead pushing herself to focus on helping others. The only times she had ever come close to pursuing power was when she accompanied Alex through the Great Labyrinths in Tortus, and when she started training herself after she gave birth to Alec and Anna. However now, looking at beings like Alucard and feeling how powerless she was in polluted places like cities, Anne resolved herself to start training from scratch with her first goal being the ability Alex had told her about, 'Dragon Force'.
***
While Anne was reaffirming her intention to get stronger, Shia, Shizuku, Sun, and Kurumu were busy toying around with Alucard; where the siren would use her 'song' to deal minute amounts of damage to his interior, while the other three would take turns attacking the exterior until the massive enemy eventually fell, before he healed and the process began all over again. As she watched Shizuku and Kurumu take their turn knocking Alucard down, Shia couldn't help but mutter to Sun,
"I can see why he'd be such an outrageous opponent to other people. He's healed every single wound we've given him, no matter how severe, and he's shown no signs of slowing down despite having to move such a large body. Even if you were several times stronger than him, Alucard would always win through attrition alone..." Though that wasn't a problem for them, as half of their team hadn't even moved yet and Shia herself was still feeling peachy since she hadn't even used her magic reinforcement, she couldn't help but admire the outrageous opponent Alucard would have been if it had faced anyone else but them.
Her thoughts were then interrupted as the ground shuddered, and more of the city's buildings were destroyed as Alucard once again went down after Shizuku replicated her earlier feat, and had severed one of its legs. As she and Kurumu rejoined her and Sun, Shizuku was panting exceptionally hard as she said,
"I don't know how many of those I've got left in me...." Even as she spoke Shia noticed a slight tremble to her hands due to the fact that Shizuku wasn't used to using such power, but instead her fighting style had always relied on stealth and technique. Putting her hand on the ponytailed girls shoulder, Shia said somewhat excitedly,
"It shouldn't be much longer until Moka and Alex rejoin us, I'll deal with him until then!" With Shizuku and Kurumu both nodding their heads in affirmation, Shia stepped forward to face Alucard once more as the rare thoughtful side she showed before disappeared, and instead the Berserker Bunny had come out to play. Leaping to another nearby building, Shia waited until Alucard was on its feet once more before Miyabi demanded,
"Again? How long will it take you to understand that it's pointless? Being persistent will only get you so far!" Shia snorted at Alucard's taunts and instead she summoned all of her magic power, resulting in a light blue aura surrounding her that even matched some of the surrounding buildings in size, at least the ones still standing. When he saw it Miyabi raised his brows and was about to comment on the display, however Shia beat him to the punch by bracing herself and shouting,
"HERE COMES THE BOOM!"
Before he could even register what she said, Miyabi looked down and noticed a giant hole in the main body's chest, before the recoil of Shia's attack instantly demolished the building she had been standing on less than a second prior, and sent him flying backwards. This time though he didn't even hit the ground before Shia once again charged him from behind, destroying another building and opening up another hole in his chest while sending him flying forwards this time. And then she came from the side, and then from below, and suddenly she was above him.
No matter what Miyabi was unable to follow Shia's destructive movements, as time and again she plowed right through his body while destroying more and more of their surroundings. Of course the parts that Shia blew off dissolved into more creatures like the arm and leg Shizuku severed before, but this time Yue stepped up to deal with them instead of leaving them for Anne, perhaps because she was getting bored.
As he was struggling to keep up with her movements Shia suddenly appeared right in front of Miyabi, her fists balled up over her head and large smirk on her face as she shouted,
"SHIA, SMAAAAASH!!!!"
She then brought her hands down on top of Miyabi's head directly, sending a shockwave downwards that made blood and flesh rupture throughout his entire body as it lifelessly slumped to the ground. The destructive bunny then leapt back onto the only building left standing around them, which was only because that was where the rest of Alex's peerage had gathered while she rampaged.
"Yosh! Let's see how long it takes him to get back up from that one!" She cried out with a large smile while holding up a peace sign with her fingers, before Kuroka suddenly grabbed her rabbit ears and snapped,
"Hey, did you perhaps forget about us while you rampaged~Nya?! Or maybe our orders not to go too seriously until Alex and Moka got here~Nya?!" Naturally Shia didn't care about what Kuroka was saying, as she instead tried to free her captive ears while crying out,
"Let go of my ears you meanie cat!" The two continued to bicker back and forth while the sludge that was previously Alucard tried to put itself back together. It was a testament to how much damage Shia had done that it was taking so long, when before he had been able to grow back entire limbs in much less than a minute. Eventually of course Alucard managed to stand once more with Miyabi's face contorted in rage from what was happening, primarily how he was apparently not being taken seriously at all considering that Shia had essentially just been playing with him.
"You worthless insects. No matter how much you try, no matter how much damage you do, I will ALWAYS get back up! The best hope for you now is to simply become food for me to help me grow even stronger!" When they heard that every girl fought the urge to roll their eyes, while Kuroka even made a comment to Shia about how he was a chuuni just like her family, which seemed to do more damage to her than anything Alucard had done all day.
Before any of them stepped up to go another round with him though, all of the girls and even Alucard froze before looking skyward at the tiny dot that marked Fairy Tale's former headquarters. Atop the floating fortress a massive cyclone of supernatural power circulated around the the transforming Moka, stupefying those who were controlling the supernatural energy from the outside.
With her Shinso blood originating from Alucard himself, Moka was already inherently more powerful than a normal Shinso like Kokoa and Akua. However, when one also added in the fact that she had been gorging on Alex's blood almost daily ever since she met him, her already ridiculous power had increased to the point where, even compared to beings like the three Dark Lords and her own father, Moka could be considered a genuine monster.
Even as they helped her to integrate with her Shinso blood, the two Dark Lords and Issa couldn't help but be amazed at the level of power Moka possessed as it swirled around her like a massive cyclone. Though they couldn't actually see Moka herself, everyone could just barely see her outline within the vortex as what appeared to be a pair of leathery wings spread out from her back, and her red eyes glowed sinisterly. Eventually Touhou called out,
"That should be enough now!" Triggering Mikogami, Issa, and Akua to release their control on the supernatural energies around Moka, right as a series of notifications also went through her mind in response to her finally integrating with her blood.
[NOTICE! Shinso blood fully integrated, 'Blood Conversion', 'Supernatural Energy Conversion', 'Transformation', 'Supernatural Energy Manipulation', and 'Internal Energy Manipulation' are all unsealed. 'Enlarged Supernatural Energy Pool', 'Superhuman Strength', 'Automatic Regeneration', and 'Martial Technique' no longer weakened! New skill 'Blood Manipulation(Self)' added!]
Moka however didn't pay any attention to the notifications, as she instead gave her body a once over to quickly admire the changes. First was the two bat-like wings that had grown from her back, each with a talon-like hook on the end to even grab things with; then there was the blackish substance that was covering her arms, legs, and even her abdomen under her clothes, even going as far as going up her neck. At first glance it appeared to be some kind of armor that formed whenever she activated her Shinso powers, the truth was though that, while it was in fact a type of armor, it was formed from her own blood that had seeped through her pores to cover her body in a protective layer.
Though she could've spent some time admiring herself, Moka instead focused her gaze downwards where she could sense Alucard's presence after it had been dropped. Then, without a single word to the dumbfounded spectators, she kicked off the ground and flew towards the edge of the floating fortress before plummeting below, leaving everyone else behind. There was a moment of silence before Touhou awkwardly asked no one in particular,
"So, should we go as well?" With no one disagreeing, the group took one of Fairy Tale's left over airsh.i.p.s while Akua did as Alex taught her, and summoned the mist to enter Asora with the dragons to find Bova before rejoining her family.
Moka meanwhile was rushing to the ground as quickly as possible with her sight dead set on Alucard, before she flipped and, faster than he could have reacted, delivered the mother of all heel drops onto Alucard's shoulder. As if in slow motion, Moka's attack tore it's way downwards through Alucard's body, then it's leg, before it finally impacted the ground beneath them, making the entire area around them shake for the umpteenth time that day. As Alucard's giant body fell to one knee from the damage done to only one leg, Miyabi glared at Moka before spitting out,
"Of course, Akasha's daughter is here now!" Moka's eyes narrowed as he mentioned her mother, before she suddenly reappeared right in front of Miyabi himself and said,
"This is for my mother!" The top of her foot then impacted the side of Miyabi's face with enough force that Alucard's entire body was then sent flying to the side. As he tried to recover from that attack Moka rushed him once more, except this time, instead of one of her signature kicks, Moka held one of her hands out in the shape of a claw while blood oozed out from her pores to form an actual claw on the tip of each finger.
Using her newfound claws, Moka then literally tore through Alucard's flesh with extreme prejudice, and precision, leaving several long tracks of torn flesh even though Alucard simply quickly healed these as well. After several flybys with her claws Moka took a step back as Alucard slowly recovered, before Miyabi snapped,
"I must admit that you're even more ferocious than Akasha, her biggest weak point was always her kindness!" Moka's brow twitched at the second mention of her mother, but she did nothing Alucard stood once more, before she suddenly clenched her hand.
"How's this for 'ferocious'?" She spat back, right as Alucard's body suddenly seemed to start tearing itself open from the inside out as the blood she injected during her previous attacks literally shredded him from the inside out, while a spike of blood even shot directly out of Miyabi's mouth just to shut him up.
As Miyabi was trying to figure out how to deal with this new form of attack, as he had always been the one to corrupt from the inside and not the other way around, Rias stepped forward and said to Moka,
"I know you'd probably like to fight by yourself for a while, but the rest of us are getting bored you know. Don't worry, we won't kill him just yet!" With Moka nodding in agreement, the rest of the girls stepped up as well, with Yue, Kuroka, and even Grayfia showing sinister smiles for finally getting their turn to fight.
Miyabi was naturally about to give them some speech about how useless it was when he saw them all preparing to fight, but whatever he was about to say was caught in his throat when suddenly the entire left side of his upper chest disappeared along with his shoulder and even part of his arm. It hadn't been smashed or attacked in a similar manner as before, but, as far as he could tell, it had simply been erased altogether so that there was not a single trace left.
He didn't get long to try and figure out what happened though, as his entire right leg suddenly started freezing until a pillar of ice several dozen feet thick had it trapped, while a mass of blackish energy suddenly assaulted his right arm, destroying it as well. The next thing Miyabi saw was a kimono wearing cat girl with four tails floating in front of him, who sneered sadistically before saying,
"Ant, meet foot~Nya!"
***
After thoroughly disciplining Gyokuro, Alex took her to Asora and entrusted her to Venri's supervision while leaving her with a brand new slave mark, her new maid outfit, and a cheery red butt from all of the spankings he gave her. After stopping long enough to make sure Bova was taking care of the new dragons, Alex then left to rejoin the fight against Alucard, only to find pure destruction waiting for him.
"What the hell happened here?" Alex wondered out loud, as he thought that the girls would at least try to avoid causing damage to the city while they fought. Naturally it didn't take him long to figure out where everyone was, as he only had to follow the sounds of destruction to find them.
Soon he was greeted by what was truly the most pathetic of sights, which was the girls mercilessly toying with a giant formless lump of flesh that was supposed to the world's incarnation of death and destruction, Alucard. Off to the side was Touhou, Mikogami, and the Shuzens watching on as the two Dark Lords wondered what they had even been concerned about to begin with. As he approached Alex called out,
"Having fun I see." For the most part the girls turned and casually welcomed him, but Kuroka leapt into Alex's arms while asking with a large smile,
"Alex, can we keep him around for a punching bag~Nya?!" This made Alex smile wryly while Touhou and Mikogami looked as if they both suffered critical damage from Kuroka's comment, to which he answered,
"Sorry, but after one last thing I plan to kill him." Her ears drooped sadly in response to Alex's words, as she felt that something that didn't die no matter how much they damaged it would be great to use for training. He then continued his approach to Alucard's body unimpeded as the rest of the girls cleared a path until the last one was Moka, who's hand Alex grabbed gently before asking,
"How do you feel?" Moka was staring intently at the lump of flesh that was Alucard, before she finally said,
"Better, but no matter how much I hurt him it won't bring her back..." Alex smiled wryly and planted a kiss on the top of Moka's head, before saying softly,
"No, but maybe this will." Moka looked at him sharply as Alex continued forward, while Miyabi's face glared at him hatefully as he pulled out a certain object from his pocket, Moka's rosary. No one understood what Alex was doing, until he pressed the rosary against the side of Alucard's flesh, and it suddenly shined with a brilliant pink light.
From the point that the rosary contacted, Alucard's body suddenly surged upwards as it formed what almost appeared to be a chrysalis upon a mountain of flesh, while six giant vampiric wings spread out behind it. The chrysalis then peeled back like the petals of a flower to reveal a certain pink haired woman within, who almost seemed like the more mature version of 'outer' Moka. The moment they saw her everyone's eyes widened as Issa and Moka's both started tearing up slightly, before the silver haired vampiress muttered in disbelief,
"Mother...?" Akasha slowly opened her eyes before she looked around curiously, before her gaze landed on her daughter.
"Moka...." Akasha said as her own eyes started tearing up, a large smile appearing on her beautiful face before she continued, "You've grown so much...." Moka laughed lightly while also trying, and failing, to hold back her tears as she said,
"I missed you so much..." Akasha's smile widened and she tried to say something else, before Alex suddenly interjected,
"Sorry to ruin this reunion, but if Akasha is to stay permanently then we should move." When they heard this Moka looked at Alex in shock, while Akasha looked at him curiously before saying,
"I can see some of the memories left over in my rosary, you're Alex right?" Alex nodded and said while flying up to where Akasha was,
"Yes, and I can use certain magics that'll possibly sever your connection to Alucard, freeing you from his control." Akasha smiled sadly in response to what he said, and replied,
"While I do appreciate the thought, my body and soul are irreversibly connected to Alucard's, even the me here right now is just a shadow of my former self." Alex smirked knowingly when he heard that though, and said,
"That's what the rosary is for, and have faith that I'll succeed, either version of Moka will tell you that the word 'impossible' doesn't apply to me!" Though he was just boasting, when she checked her own doubles memories and glanced down at Moka, Akasha was surprised to see that both girls believed in him wholeheartedly. Eventually she nodded in agreement, before saying,
"Then I leave myself in your care." Alex didn't waste any time as he reached out and grasped Akasha's arm, before pulling on her gently. As he did so he used his Alteration magic to manipulate the flesh binding her to Alucard's body, and his Spirit magic to sever the spiritual connection between the two.
Within moments Akasha's body came free of Alucard's hold, shocking her quite a bit as she tightly grabbed onto Alex's body, making both Issa and Moka twitch their brows in annoyance. Slowly Alex drifted down to the ground with Akasha in his embrace, before passing her to Kuroka immediately once his feet touched the ground and saying,
"Use your Spirit magic to merge what's left of Akasha's soul with the fragments in the rosary, if everything goes well then her soul will fully recover with a few follow up treatments." With the last part directed at Moka and Issa, the father-daughter duo let out a sigh of relief before rushing over to Akasha's side while Alex turned back towards Alucard. Miyabi had just been silently watching the whole scene unfold from the side, before saying as Alex approached,
"So now what, it's your turn to fight me?" Alex just smile wryly and said,
"Not exactly. First I'll destroy your soul, leaving your body a soulless husk, then I'll use a special type of flame that'll destroy your entire body without letting you regenerate, ending the legacy of both Dracula and Alucard forever." Miyabi's eyes widened when he heard Alex use his former name, before he muttered somewhat sadly,
"Dracula....that's a name I haven't heard in a long time...." He then looked sadly at Akasha before adding, "You know, what comes next wouldn't be so bad if I had some company for old times sake...." Though he was essentially asking for Akasha's soul to be destroyed as well, Alex knew it was because it was from Akasha's insistence that Alucard self destructed in the original timeline along with her, Touhou, and Mikogami. In response he just simply placed his hand against Miyabi's forehead and said,
"Maybe, but she deserves to have some happiness for a change, without her life being bound to yours." Miyabi didn't say anything in response to this, and simply closed his eyes one last time before Alex pulled out his soul and used his 'Soul Break' on him, leaving Alucard's body an empty husk. He then used his magic to make a giant pit before throwing the giant corpse within, and using his 'Demonic Dragons Breath' to destroy every last bit of it. As the body burned someone approached Alex from behind, making him turn to see Issa standing there nervously before saying,
"Thank you, for everything. I never thought I'd see Akasha again, let alone get the chance to be with her once more. As a father I'd be honored to g-give you m-my d-daughter...." Struggling with his last few words before trailing off slightly, Issa looked as if he swallowed a bug before grimacing slightly, his fatherly instincts pushing him to fight Alex for trying to take Moka. However, due to everything Alex had done for them, he forced these feelings down and gave them his blessing for their relationship, only for Alex to look exceptionally nervous as he responded with,
"I *cough cough*-s....." Issa looked at Alex with confusion and asked with what he hoped was an amicable smile,
"I'm sorry, what was that?" Alex however looked around awkwardly as he repeated,
"I said that 'I think you mean......." Trailing off in a voice so low Issa couldn't hear him, the vampires amicable smile twitched as he asked once again,
"I didn't catch that then either." Finally Alex looked as if he was resolving himself, and he finally said,
"I said ' think you mean daughterS', as in plural..." His expression freezing, Issa could only ask, "Huh?", right as both Kokoa and Akua walked to Alex's side for him to put an arm around them. Akua then said,
"This is a bit late father, but Kokoa and I have made the decision to join Alex's harem." When he heard his daughter's confirmation Issa face suddenly turned a deep Crimson as he glared at Alex for daring to take not one, not two, but THREE of his daughters. Before he could say anything though, a new voice cried out,
"Hey wait! Why does it feel like I'm being left out!" The now awake Kahlua pouted, not really understanding what was going on, but only knowing that her sisters were leaving her out of something. Akua then piped up once more before anyone else could,
"You can join as well you know Kahlua, even if he had a thousand beauties in his harem this guy will still welcome anyone with open arms." Though she wasn't entirely accurate, Alex didn't bother trying to correct Akua's statement as Kahlua immediately brightened up and ran over to his side to join them, before she got a thoughtful look and asked,
"By the way, what does it mean to be in a harem?" Akua's expression turned into a mischievous grin as she leaned forward and started whispering into her sister's ear, making Kahlua's face immediately turn red for an entirely different reason than Issa's, though his had turned to more of a deep purple by the point.
"You little shit, wanting to take ALL of my daughters! WHY I'M GONNA-" what Issa was gonna do they never got to hear, as at that moment, as everything started winding down, a sudden notice brought everyone's gazes skywards where a massive portal had suddenly opened.
"What the hell?" Mikogami muttered while everyone looked upwards in confusion, however after a few seconds Alex's expression changed into one of recognition along with that of Rias, Kuroka, Grayfia, Yue, Shia, and Shizuku's. As if to confirm their suspicions Anne immediately arrived and demanded,
"Is that what I think it is?!" Alex only nodded slowly as what appeared to be an entire fleet of spacesh.i.p.s started coming through the massive portal, before saying,
"Another reincarnator is here."

As the eight girls surrounded Alucard in a half circle, the first one to step forward was a certain light blue haired rabbit-girl, Shia. This of course didn't go unnoticed by Miyabi, who remarked with a sneer as soon as he saw her prepare to fight,
"Oh look, a fluffy little bunny rabbit." Shia's brow twitched when she heard this, and, before her opponent could even react, there was a sudden impact right in the middle of its body, causing the chest to cave in slightly before the force of Shia's punch sent Alucard flying backwards while the resulting shockwave shattered almost all of the windows immediately surrounding them. With Alucard's massive body impacting the ground hard enough that their surroundings shook as if an earthquake was happening, he looked up to see Shia now above him with her feet braced against a magic circle and her legs bent as if they were a loaded spring.
"How's this for a 'fluffy little bunny rabbit'?" She muttered under her breath, before pushing off her makeshift foothold with enough force that shockwaves filled the air around her as she rocketed down towards Alucard's body. The instant she made contact with his body there was a moment of silence, before a massive ripple spread out from the pulverized flesh of Alucard's body that shook the surroundings several times more than when his body hit the ground, while the earth seemed to roar in response to the abuse she had inflicted on it.
Even with the ground still rumbling and the buildings still shaking, Shia leapt back up to where she had started with light, "Hup!", before making a guts pose victoriously even as Alucard's body started reforming right before them. Seemingly unconcerned about this though, Shia then shouted to the others, "Tag, you're up!"
In response two other girls stepped forward to face Alucard, one with her ponytail flowing behind her while she firmly grasped her katana, the other with her tail twitching side to side from nerves. By this point Alucard's body had finished regenerating, except now it was more slender to seemingly make it's movements faster and more efficient. As it returned to the battle Miyabi ignored the two new combatants and directed his gaze at Shia, his eyes narrowing in irritation towards the carefree rabbit girl as the dozen or so tentacles extending from its back rose up, and were pointed right at her. Without even a trace of worry on her face Shia laughed as the tentacles homed in on her with deadly accuracy, before they were suddenly severed and diced into pieces by the six Shizukus that suddenly appeared in front of her.
"I may not be a battle junkie like some people, but even I'll get annoyed if my opponent starts ignoring me..." She stated indignantly as Alucard turned his gaze towards her, right as they suddenly heard the shout on the other side,
"PROMOTION, 'KNIGHT'!" Kurumu cried out, right before she suddenly vanished from view, even without the help of her illusions, and reappeared briefly right before several long gashed were left in Alucard's back courtesy of her nails. With his attention turning to her though, and his tentacles already regrowing, Kurumu smiled confidently and didn't even try to dodge the attack as one of them stabbed at her, only to phase right through her body and impale the building behind her.
Immediately she suddenly reappeared once more, before doubling, then tripling, and then quadrupling. Soon the number of both Kurumus and even Shizukus quickly passed a hundred each, all darting too and fro around Alucard while Miyabi struggled to keep up with which ones were actually harming him. Eventually he just raised up both of his arms in front of him, intending to simply sweep the area with them and catch the annoying girls up in the destruction.
What happened instead though was that right as he put the strength into his arms to move them, blood suddenly sprayed from the appendages before they dropped down to his sides lifelessly. It was then that Alucard heard a certain voice singing, and turned to see the siren from before directing her gaze right at him with the same intense look in her eyes. While his attention was on Shia, Shizuku, and Kurumu, Sun had used her voice to slowly deal microscopic damage to the muscles throughout Alucard's body, before delivering the final blow right when he was about to use his large scale attack to prevent her comrades from being hurt, while also creating an opening for them to attack.
Naturally Shizuku and Kurumu didn't miss this chance, as the latter put her efforts into controlling her illusions, while the former sent all six of her clones down at Alucard's legs to target the muscles holding it up. The result was both legs buckling as Alucard stepped towards Sun to eliminate her support, sending its massive body crashing to the earth once again.
As Alucard fell once more, Shizuku and Kurumu both gathered on the same rooftop as Sun before the former said to the petite girl, "Your support is so amazing Sun! It makes me feel useless putting in all that effort for only so little damage..." As she trailed off Kurumu nodded and added while looking ruefully at her nails,
"I know why you mean.... It's hard being on the front lines against an opponent like this when all I can do is scratch them with my nails...." When she heard this however Sun quickly shook her head and exclaimed,
"Not at all! The only reason I was able to do as much damage as I did was because you two had his attention the whole time while I sat back here where it was safe. Besides, I'm sure things would be different if we were allowed to finish him off instead of waiting for Moka and Alex...." As she trailed off as well the other two thought about what she said while Shizuku looked at her katana curiously, as she hadn't used the 'Demonic Dragons Flames' that Alex had added when he first made them. If she had used them then it was entirely possible that Alucard's body would have been quickly engulfed by the persistent flames until nothing was left, but that wasn't what they were asked to do. If the flat out destruction and slaughter of Alucard was their goal, then Rias, Grayfia, Kuroka, and Yue all would have also joined the fight by now instead of just trying to contain the damage. While the trio were talking though a growl that made the air vibrate tore through them, while Alucard stood once more and Miyabi said disdainfully,
"Impressive skills, but unfortunately it'll take more than a few scratches to put us down. Stop dragging this out longer than it has to be, no matter how much you struggle it'll end the same way regardless!" To the stereotypical super villain speech, Shizuku fought the urge to sigh before she instead took a stance with her sheathed katana in front of Alucard and said,
"Before we get back into it, let me try something first." Kurumu and Sun glanced at each other for a second before both girls shrugged, and stepped back to give Shizuku space. Of course when he saw her stance Alucard stated,
"I already told you it's worthless." Ignoring him Shizuku took in a deep breath, before slowly releasing it as she focused her sword intent and Spatial magic. Then, in a fraction of a second, she appeared to soundlessly teleport to another building behind Alucard while resheathing her katana with a small 'click'.
Unlike Shia's movements, which were based on explosive power and made lots of noise, Shizuku's was silent and graceful. Her attacks left one wondering what exactly had just happened, before they finally realized they were injured. It was the same this time as, an entire second after she had resheathed her katana, there was a giant splatter of blood as a massive gash appeared across Alucard's chest, while its left arm completely detached and fell to the streets below. Instead of looking back at the effect of her attack though, Shizuku took in a deep breath as she tried to recover the energy she used in the single attack.
Naturally not just Alucard, but every one of the other members of Alex's peerage were in awe of Shizuku's attack as it was the single most powerful strike they had ever seen her deliver, an impressive feat for someone who was supposed to be a sneaky ninja. Predictably Alucard was nearly unfazed by the sudden attack, with the giant gash on its chest quickly closing while its arm had also started regrowing. Instead Miyabi turned towards Shizuku and said,
"Once again that was impressive, but irrelevant. Perhaps to show you how meaningless your actions are, I should eliminate those civilians you're trying so hard to protect?" As he spoke the severed arm started bubbling disgustingly, before the flesh suddenly burst open and a sea of monsters poured out that surged towards the area everyone evacuated to like a tidal wave. Seeing the horde, Kuroka said as she started moving towards them,
"Finally something to do~Nya, I'll go deal with them!" Right as the words left her mouth though, another voice suddenly answered,
"Um Kuroka, could you please let me take care of them? I also want to test the results of my training!" The nekomata made a face at Anne's request, before saying bitterly,
"Whatever you say, 'Dragon Empress'~Nya." This time it was Anne's turn to make a face at the title she had acquired recently, due to both her status as Alex's 'official' wife and her Dragon Slayer abilities. Putting the embarrassing title out of her mind, Anne called out to the surrounding Angels,
"Spread out and funnel the approaching monsters down this street, I don't want them trying to go around us to get to the people!" The Angels that had accompanied her, members of her Emergency Response Team, immediately flew up and took positions on the tops of the nearby buildings, where they used their mastery over light to make sure the tidal wave of monsters didn't divert their path.
As they approached with their long and slender beastial bodies, all pitch black with yellow bulbous abscesses and long lethal claws on each hand, drool dripping from their ravenous mouths as they raced towards the feast before them. Anne took in a breath and closed her eyes as she calmed her racing heart, before opening them to reveal that her pupils had become reptilian slits.
Patches of scales started forming along her arms and her cheeks, while Anne's hair and the veils and ribbons adorning her dancers outfit started floating and drifting in a wind that didn't exist seconds before. As if in slow motion Anne stepped forward, before she suddenly rushed towards the horde of monsters while raising a whirlwind that blasted back at those standing behind her. As she quickly approached the horde Anne narrowed her eyes before muttering quietly,
"Sky Dragon's Severing Claws!" As she passed through the monsters, Anne slashed her hands to the sides while both were surrounded with razor sharp winds, shredding the monsters into pieces instantly before they also slashed and destroyed most of the area around her.
When she go to the point where she was practically surrounded by the rest of the several hundred monsters, Anne stopped her charge and pivoted on one foot with the grace of a dancer, before sweeping her hands around her to create a twister that picked up and shredded the creatures surrounding her. Once the twister she had created started to settle down the area around Anne was completely cleared of any other thing, either living or inanimate, and the rest of the oncoming horde was watching her warily.
Slowly Anne turned to face the creatures that hadn't moved forward to attack yet, her still reptilian eyes focusing on them as she placed a foot forward to brace herself as she decided to wipe out as many as possible at once. She didn't have the same magic power reserves as Alex or even the majority of his peerage, instead she was able to 'eat' the air around her in order to refuel herself whenever she fought. The problem was that she was in the middle of a city and the air there was heavily polluted, meaning if she tried to 'eat' it then she'd instead lose what power she had left. Instead Anne braced herself and took in as deep a breath as possible without crippling herself, and screamed as loudly as she could,
"SKY DRAGON'S ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!"
As she shouted a colossal vortex of air formed from her mouth as it traveled down the street into the waiting horde of monsters. It picked up everything around it, even cars, and added them to danger as the twister crashed into the horde and kept going. Whatever wasn't immediately shredded by the razor-like blades of wind was instead battered and assaulted by the numerous debris that the roar had picked up.
For as long as she could Anne maintained the roar that turned the single street into a disaster zone from all of the debris she had displaced, until finally she had to cut it off to reveal that, while she hadn't gotten all of them, there was hardly any creatures left. Feeling a sour sensation in her nose, Anne turned away from them and ordered the accompanying Angels,
"Please take care of the rest of them, I'm going back to the evacuees." With the angels moving to do as she asked, Anne looked down at her trembling hands before gripping them tightly, and muttering, "I need to get stronger!"
Ever since reincarnating she had never once desired power, instead pushing herself to focus on helping others. The only times she had ever come close to pursuing power was when she accompanied Alex through the Great Labyrinths in Tortus, and when she started training herself after she gave birth to Alec and Anna. However now, looking at beings like Alucard and feeling how powerless she was in polluted places like cities, Anne resolved herself to start training from scratch with her first goal being the ability Alex had told her about, 'Dragon Force'.
***
While Anne was reaffirming her intention to get stronger, Shia, Shizuku, Sun, and Kurumu were busy toying around with Alucard; where the siren would use her 'song' to deal minute amounts of damage to his interior, while the other three would take turns attacking the exterior until the massive enemy eventually fell, before he healed and the process began all over again. As she watched Shizuku and Kurumu take their turn knocking Alucard down, Shia couldn't help but mutter to Sun,
"I can see why he'd be such an outrageous opponent to other people. He's healed every single wound we've given him, no matter how severe, and he's shown no signs of slowing down despite having to move such a large body. Even if you were several times stronger than him, Alucard would always win through attrition alone..." Though that wasn't a problem for them, as half of their team hadn't even moved yet and Shia herself was still feeling peachy since she hadn't even used her magic reinforcement, she couldn't help but admire the outrageous opponent Alucard would have been if it had faced anyone else but them.
Her thoughts were then interrupted as the ground shuddered, and more of the city's buildings were destroyed as Alucard once again went down after Shizuku replicated her earlier feat, and had severed one of its legs. As she and Kurumu rejoined her and Sun, Shizuku was panting exceptionally hard as she said,
"I don't know how many of those I've got left in me...." Even as she spoke Shia noticed a slight tremble to her hands due to the fact that Shizuku wasn't used to using such power, but instead her fighting style had always relied on stealth and technique. Putting her hand on the ponytailed girls shoulder, Shia said somewhat excitedly,
"It shouldn't be much longer until Moka and Alex rejoin us, I'll deal with him until then!" With Shizuku and Kurumu both nodding their heads in affirmation, Shia stepped forward to face Alucard once more as the rare thoughtful side she showed before disappeared, and instead the Berserker Bunny had come out to play. Leaping to another nearby building, Shia waited until Alucard was on its feet once more before Miyabi demanded,
"Again? How long will it take you to understand that it's pointless? Being persistent will only get you so far!" Shia snorted at Alucard's taunts and instead she summoned all of her magic power, resulting in a light blue aura surrounding her that even matched some of the surrounding buildings in size, at least the ones still standing. When he saw it Miyabi raised his brows and was about to comment on the display, however Shia beat him to the punch by bracing herself and shouting,
"HERE COMES THE BOOM!"
Before he could even register what she said, Miyabi looked down and noticed a giant hole in the main body's chest, before the recoil of Shia's attack instantly demolished the building she had been standing on less than a second prior, and sent him flying backwards. This time though he didn't even hit the ground before Shia once again charged him from behind, destroying another building and opening up another hole in his chest while sending him flying forwards this time. And then she came from the side, and then from below, and suddenly she was above him.
No matter what Miyabi was unable to follow Shia's destructive movements, as time and again she plowed right through his body while destroying more and more of their surroundings. Of course the parts that Shia blew off dissolved into more creatures like the arm and leg Shizuku severed before, but this time Yue stepped up to deal with them instead of leaving them for Anne, perhaps because she was getting bored.
As he was struggling to keep up with her movements Shia suddenly appeared right in front of Miyabi, her fists balled up over her head and large smirk on her face as she shouted,
"SHIA, SMAAAAASH!!!!"
She then brought her hands down on top of Miyabi's head directly, sending a shockwave downwards that made blood and flesh rupture throughout his entire body as it lifelessly slumped to the ground. The destructive bunny then leapt back onto the only building left standing around them, which was only because that was where the rest of Alex's peerage had gathered while she rampaged.
"Yosh! Let's see how long it takes him to get back up from that one!" She cried out with a large smile while holding up a peace sign with her fingers, before Kuroka suddenly grabbed her rabbit ears and snapped,
"Hey, did you perhaps forget about us while you rampaged~Nya?! Or maybe our orders not to go too seriously until Alex and Moka got here~Nya?!" Naturally Shia didn't care about what Kuroka was saying, as she instead tried to free her captive ears while crying out,
"Let go of my ears you meanie cat!" The two continued to bicker back and forth while the sludge that was previously Alucard tried to put itself back together. It was a testament to how much damage Shia had done that it was taking so long, when before he had been able to grow back entire limbs in much less than a minute. Eventually of course Alucard managed to stand once more with Miyabi's face contorted in rage from what was happening, primarily how he was apparently not being taken seriously at all considering that Shia had essentially just been playing with him.
"You worthless insects. No matter how much you try, no matter how much damage you do, I will ALWAYS get back up! The best hope for you now is to simply become food for me to help me grow even stronger!" When they heard that every girl fought the urge to roll their eyes, while Kuroka even made a comment to Shia about how he was a chuuni just like her family, which seemed to do more damage to her than anything Alucard had done all day.
Before any of them stepped up to go another round with him though, all of the girls and even Alucard froze before looking skyward at the tiny dot that marked Fairy Tale's former headquarters. Atop the floating fortress a massive cyclone of supernatural power circulated around the the transforming Moka, stupefying those who were controlling the supernatural energy from the outside.
With her Shinso blood originating from Alucard himself, Moka was already inherently more powerful than a normal Shinso like Kokoa and Akua. However, when one also added in the fact that she had been gorging on Alex's blood almost daily ever since she met him, her already ridiculous power had increased to the point where, even compared to beings like the three Dark Lords and her own father, Moka could be considered a genuine monster.
Even as they helped her to integrate with her Shinso blood, the two Dark Lords and Issa couldn't help but be amazed at the level of power Moka possessed as it swirled around her like a massive cyclone. Though they couldn't actually see Moka herself, everyone could just barely see her outline within the vortex as what appeared to be a pair of leathery wings spread out from her back, and her red eyes glowed sinisterly. Eventually Touhou called out,
"That should be enough now!" Triggering Mikogami, Issa, and Akua to release their control on the supernatural energies around Moka, right as a series of notifications also went through her mind in response to her finally integrating with her blood.
[NOTICE! Shinso blood fully integrated, 'Blood Conversion', 'Supernatural Energy Conversion', 'Transformation', 'Supernatural Energy Manipulation', and 'Internal Energy Manipulation' are all unsealed. 'Enlarged Supernatural Energy Pool', 'Superhuman Strength', 'Automatic Regeneration', and 'Martial Technique' no longer weakened! New skill 'Blood Manipulation(Self)' added!]
Moka however didn't pay any attention to the notifications, as she instead gave her body a once over to quickly admire the changes. First was the two bat-like wings that had grown from her back, each with a talon-like hook on the end to even grab things with; then there was the blackish substance that was covering her arms, legs, and even her abdomen under her clothes, even going as far as going up her neck. At first glance it appeared to be some kind of armor that formed whenever she activated her Shinso powers, the truth was though that, while it was in fact a type of armor, it was formed from her own blood that had seeped through her pores to cover her body in a protective layer.
Though she could've spent some time admiring herself, Moka instead focused her gaze downwards where she could sense Alucard's presence after it had been dropped. Then, without a single word to the dumbfounded spectators, she kicked off the ground and flew towards the edge of the floating fortress before plummeting below, leaving everyone else behind. There was a moment of silence before Touhou awkwardly asked no one in particular,
"So, should we go as well?" With no one disagreeing, the group took one of Fairy Tale's left over airsh.i.p.s while Akua did as Alex taught her, and summoned the mist to enter Asora with the dragons to find Bova before rejoining her family.
Moka meanwhile was rushing to the ground as quickly as possible with her sight dead set on Alucard, before she flipped and, faster than he could have reacted, delivered the mother of all heel drops onto Alucard's shoulder. As if in slow motion, Moka's attack tore it's way downwards through Alucard's body, then it's leg, before it finally impacted the ground beneath them, making the entire area around them shake for the umpteenth time that day. As Alucard's giant body fell to one knee from the damage done to only one leg, Miyabi glared at Moka before spitting out,
"Of course, Akasha's daughter is here now!" Moka's eyes narrowed as he mentioned her mother, before she suddenly reappeared right in front of Miyabi himself and said,
"This is for my mother!" The top of her foot then impacted the side of Miyabi's face with enough force that Alucard's entire body was then sent flying to the side. As he tried to recover from that attack Moka rushed him once more, except this time, instead of one of her signature kicks, Moka held one of her hands out in the shape of a claw while blood oozed out from her pores to form an actual claw on the tip of each finger.
Using her newfound claws, Moka then literally tore through Alucard's flesh with extreme prejudice, and precision, leaving several long tracks of torn flesh even though Alucard simply quickly healed these as well. After several flybys with her claws Moka took a step back as Alucard slowly recovered, before Miyabi snapped,
"I must admit that you're even more ferocious than Akasha, her biggest weak point was always her kindness!" Moka's brow twitched at the second mention of her mother, but she did nothing Alucard stood once more, before she suddenly clenched her hand.
"How's this for 'ferocious'?" She spat back, right as Alucard's body suddenly seemed to start tearing itself open from the inside out as the blood she injected during her previous attacks literally shredded him from the inside out, while a spike of blood even shot directly out of Miyabi's mouth just to shut him up.
As Miyabi was trying to figure out how to deal with this new form of attack, as he had always been the one to corrupt from the inside and not the other way around, Rias stepped forward and said to Moka,
"I know you'd probably like to fight by yourself for a while, but the rest of us are getting bored you know. Don't worry, we won't kill him just yet!" With Moka nodding in agreement, the rest of the girls stepped up as well, with Yue, Kuroka, and even Grayfia showing sinister smiles for finally getting their turn to fight.
Miyabi was naturally about to give them some speech about how useless it was when he saw them all preparing to fight, but whatever he was about to say was caught in his throat when suddenly the entire left side of his upper chest disappeared along with his shoulder and even part of his arm. It hadn't been smashed or attacked in a similar manner as before, but, as far as he could tell, it had simply been erased altogether so that there was not a single trace left.
He didn't get long to try and figure out what happened though, as his entire right leg suddenly started freezing until a pillar of ice several dozen feet thick had it trapped, while a mass of blackish energy suddenly assaulted his right arm, destroying it as well. The next thing Miyabi saw was a kimono wearing cat girl with four tails floating in front of him, who sneered sadistically before saying,
"Ant, meet foot~Nya!"
***
After thoroughly disciplining Gyokuro, Alex took her to Asora and entrusted her to Venri's supervision while leaving her with a brand new slave mark, her new maid outfit, and a cheery red butt from all of the spankings he gave her. After stopping long enough to make sure Bova was taking care of the new dragons, Alex then left to rejoin the fight against Alucard, only to find pure destruction waiting for him.
"What the hell happened here?" Alex wondered out loud, as he thought that the girls would at least try to avoid causing damage to the city while they fought. Naturally it didn't take him long to figure out where everyone was, as he only had to follow the sounds of destruction to find them.
Soon he was greeted by what was truly the most pathetic of sights, which was the girls mercilessly toying with a giant formless lump of flesh that was supposed to the world's incarnation of death and destruction, Alucard. Off to the side was Touhou, Mikogami, and the Shuzens watching on as the two Dark Lords wondered what they had even been concerned about to begin with. As he approached Alex called out,
"Having fun I see." For the most part the girls turned and casually welcomed him, but Kuroka leapt into Alex's arms while asking with a large smile,
"Alex, can we keep him around for a punching bag~Nya?!" This made Alex smile wryly while Touhou and Mikogami looked as if they both suffered critical damage from Kuroka's comment, to which he answered,
"Sorry, but after one last thing I plan to kill him." Her ears drooped sadly in response to Alex's words, as she felt that something that didn't die no matter how much they damaged it would be great to use for training. He then continued his approach to Alucard's body unimpeded as the rest of the girls cleared a path until the last one was Moka, who's hand Alex grabbed gently before asking,
"How do you feel?" Moka was staring intently at the lump of flesh that was Alucard, before she finally said,
"Better, but no matter how much I hurt him it won't bring her back..." Alex smiled wryly and planted a kiss on the top of Moka's head, before saying softly,
"No, but maybe this will." Moka looked at him sharply as Alex continued forward, while Miyabi's face glared at him hatefully as he pulled out a certain object from his pocket, Moka's rosary. No one understood what Alex was doing, until he pressed the rosary against the side of Alucard's flesh, and it suddenly shined with a brilliant pink light.
From the point that the rosary contacted, Alucard's body suddenly surged upwards as it formed what almost appeared to be a chrysalis upon a mountain of flesh, while six giant vampiric wings spread out behind it. The chrysalis then peeled back like the petals of a flower to reveal a certain pink haired woman within, who almost seemed like the more mature version of 'outer' Moka. The moment they saw her everyone's eyes widened as Issa and Moka's both started tearing up slightly, before the silver haired vampiress muttered in disbelief,
"Mother...?" Akasha slowly opened her eyes before she looked around curiously, before her gaze landed on her daughter.
"Moka...." Akasha said as her own eyes started tearing up, a large smile appearing on her beautiful face before she continued, "You've grown so much...." Moka laughed lightly while also trying, and failing, to hold back her tears as she said,
"I missed you so much..." Akasha's smile widened and she tried to say something else, before Alex suddenly interjected,
"Sorry to ruin this reunion, but if Akasha is to stay permanently then we should move." When they heard this Moka looked at Alex in shock, while Akasha looked at him curiously before saying,
"I can see some of the memories left over in my rosary, you're Alex right?" Alex nodded and said while flying up to where Akasha was,
"Yes, and I can use certain magics that'll possibly sever your connection to Alucard, freeing you from his control." Akasha smiled sadly in response to what he said, and replied,
"While I do appreciate the thought, my body and soul are irreversibly connected to Alucard's, even the me here right now is just a shadow of my former self." Alex smirked knowingly when he heard that though, and said,
"That's what the rosary is for, and have faith that I'll succeed, either version of Moka will tell you that the word 'impossible' doesn't apply to me!" Though he was just boasting, when she checked her own doubles memories and glanced down at Moka, Akasha was surprised to see that both girls believed in him wholeheartedly. Eventually she nodded in agreement, before saying,
"Then I leave myself in your care." Alex didn't waste any time as he reached out and grasped Akasha's arm, before pulling on her gently. As he did so he used his Alteration magic to manipulate the flesh binding her to Alucard's body, and his Spirit magic to sever the spiritual connection between the two.
Within moments Akasha's body came free of Alucard's hold, shocking her quite a bit as she tightly grabbed onto Alex's body, making both Issa and Moka twitch their brows in annoyance. Slowly Alex drifted down to the ground with Akasha in his embrace, before passing her to Kuroka immediately once his feet touched the ground and saying,
"Use your Spirit magic to merge what's left of Akasha's soul with the fragments in the rosary, if everything goes well then her soul will fully recover with a few follow up treatments." With the last part directed at Moka and Issa, the father-daughter duo let out a sigh of relief before rushing over to Akasha's side while Alex turned back towards Alucard. Miyabi had just been silently watching the whole scene unfold from the side, before saying as Alex approached,
"So now what, it's your turn to fight me?" Alex just smile wryly and said,
"Not exactly. First I'll destroy your soul, leaving your body a soulless husk, then I'll use a special type of flame that'll destroy your entire body without letting you regenerate, ending the legacy of both Dracula and Alucard forever." Miyabi's eyes widened when he heard Alex use his former name, before he muttered somewhat sadly,
"Dracula....that's a name I haven't heard in a long time...." He then looked sadly at Akasha before adding, "You know, what comes next wouldn't be so bad if I had some company for old times sake...." Though he was essentially asking for Akasha's soul to be destroyed as well, Alex knew it was because it was from Akasha's insistence that Alucard self destructed in the original timeline along with her, Touhou, and Mikogami. In response he just simply placed his hand against Miyabi's forehead and said,
"Maybe, but she deserves to have some happiness for a change, without her life being bound to yours." Miyabi didn't say anything in response to this, and simply closed his eyes one last time before Alex pulled out his soul and used his 'Soul Break' on him, leaving Alucard's body an empty husk. He then used his magic to make a giant pit before throwing the giant corpse within, and using his 'Demonic Dragons Breath' to destroy every last bit of it. As the body burned someone approached Alex from behind, making him turn to see Issa standing there nervously before saying,
"Thank you, for everything. I never thought I'd see Akasha again, let alone get the chance to be with her once more. As a father I'd be honored to g-give you m-my d-daughter...." Struggling with his last few words before trailing off slightly, Issa looked as if he swallowed a bug before grimacing slightly, his fatherly instincts pushing him to fight Alex for trying to take Moka. However, due to everything Alex had done for them, he forced these feelings down and gave them his blessing for their relationship, only for Alex to look exceptionally nervous as he responded with,
"I *cough cough*-s....." Issa looked at Alex with confusion and asked with what he hoped was an amicable smile,
"I'm sorry, what was that?" Alex however looked around awkwardly as he repeated,
"I said that 'I think you mean......." Trailing off in a voice so low Issa couldn't hear him, the vampires amicable smile twitched as he asked once again,
"I didn't catch that then either." Finally Alex looked as if he was resolving himself, and he finally said,
"I said ' think you mean daughterS', as in plural..." His expression freezing, Issa could only ask, "Huh?", right as both Kokoa and Akua walked to Alex's side for him to put an arm around them. Akua then said,
"This is a bit late father, but Kokoa and I have made the decision to join Alex's harem." When he heard his daughter's confirmation Issa face suddenly turned a deep Crimson as he glared at Alex for daring to take not one, not two, but THREE of his daughters. Before he could say anything though, a new voice cried out,
"Hey wait! Why does it feel like I'm being left out!" The now awake Kahlua pouted, not really understanding what was going on, but only knowing that her sisters were leaving her out of something. Akua then piped up once more before anyone else could,
"You can join as well you know Kahlua, even if he had a thousand beauties in his harem this guy will still welcome anyone with open arms." Though she wasn't entirely accurate, Alex didn't bother trying to correct Akua's statement as Kahlua immediately brightened up and ran over to his side to join them, before she got a thoughtful look and asked,
"By the way, what does it mean to be in a harem?" Akua's expression turned into a mischievous grin as she leaned forward and started whispering into her sister's ear, making Kahlua's face immediately turn red for an entirely different reason than Issa's, though his had turned to more of a deep purple by the point.
"You little shit, wanting to take ALL of my daughters! WHY I'M GONNA-" what Issa was gonna do they never got to hear, as at that moment, as everything started winding down, a sudden notice brought everyone's gazes skywards where a massive portal had suddenly opened.
"What the hell?" Mikogami muttered while everyone looked upwards in confusion, however after a few seconds Alex's expression changed into one of recognition along with that of Rias, Kuroka, Grayfia, Yue, Shia, and Shizuku's. As if to confirm their suspicions Anne immediately arrived and demanded,
"Is that what I think it is?!" Alex only nodded slowly as what appeared to be an entire fleet of spacesh.i.p.s started coming through the massive portal, before saying,
"Another reincarnator is here."

As the eight girls surrounded Alucard in a half circle, the first one to step forward was a certain light blue haired rabbit-girl, Shia. This of course didn't go unnoticed by Miyabi, who remarked with a sneer as soon as he saw her prepare to fight, "Oh look, a fluffy little bunny rabbit." Shia's brow twitched when she heard this, and, before her opponent could even react, there was a sudden impact right in the middle of its body, causing the chest to cave in slightly before the force of Shia's punch sent Alucard flying backwards while the resulting shockwave shattered almost all of the windows immediately surrounding them. With Alucard's massive body impacting the ground hard enough that their surroundings shook as if an earthquake was happening, he looked up to see Shia now above him with her feet braced against a magic circle and her legs bent as if they were a loaded spring. "How's this for a 'fluffy little bunny rabbit'?" She muttered under her breath, before pushing off her makeshift foothold with enough force that shockwaves filled the air around her as she rocketed down towards Alucard's body. The instant she made contact with his body there was a moment of silence, before a massive ripple spread out from the pulverized flesh of Alucard's body that shook the surroundings several times more than when his body hit the ground, while the earth seemed to roar in response to the abuse she had inflicted on it. Even with the ground still rumbling and the buildings still shaking, Shia leapt back up to where she had started with light, "Hup!", before making a guts pose victoriously even as Alucard's body started reforming right before them. Seemingly unconcerned about this though, Shia then shouted to the others, "Tag, you're up!" In response two other girls stepped forward to face Alucard, one with her ponytail flowing behind her while she firmly grasped her katana, the other with her tail twitching side to side from nerves. By this point Alucard's body had finished regenerating, except now it was more slender to seemingly make it's movements faster and more efficient. As it returned to the battle Miyabi ignored the two new combatants and directed his gaze at Shia, his eyes narrowing in irritation towards the carefree rabbit girl as the dozen or so tentacles extending from its back rose up, and were pointed right at her. Without even a trace of worry on her face Shia laughed as the tentacles homed in on her with deadly accuracy, before they were suddenly severed and diced into pieces by the six Shizukus that suddenly appeared in front of her. "I may not be a battle junkie like some people, but even I'll get annoyed if my opponent starts ignoring me..." She stated indignantly as Alucard turned his gaze towards her, right as they suddenly heard the shout on the other side, "PROMOTION, 'KNIGHT'!" Kurumu cried out, right before she suddenly vanished from view, even without the help of her illusions, and reappeared briefly right before several long gashed were left in Alucard's back courtesy of her nails. With his attention turning to her though, and his tentacles already regrowing, Kurumu smiled confidently and didn't even try to dodge the attack as one of them stabbed at her, only to phase right through her body and impale the building behind her. Immediately she suddenly reappeared once more, before doubling, then tripling, and then quadrupling. Soon the number of both Kurumus and even Shizukus quickly passed a hundred each, all darting too and fro around Alucard while Miyabi struggled to keep up with which ones were actually harming him. Eventually he just raised up both of his arms in front of him, intending to simply sweep the area with them and catch the annoying girls up in the destruction. What happened instead though was that right as he put the strength into his arms to move them, blood suddenly sprayed from the appendages before they dropped down to his sides lifelessly. It was then that Alucard heard a certain voice singing, and turned to see the siren from before directing her gaze right at him with the same intense look in her eyes. While his attention was on Shia, Shizuku, and Kurumu, Sun had used her voice to slowly deal microscopic damage to the muscles throughout Alucard's body, before delivering the final blow right when he was about to use his large scale attack to prevent her comrades from being hurt, while also creating an opening for them to attack. Naturally Shizuku and Kurumu didn't miss this chance, as the latter put her efforts into controlling her illusions, while the former sent all six of her clones down at Alucard's legs to target the muscles holding it up. The result was both legs buckling as Alucard stepped towards Sun to eliminate her support, sending its massive body crashing to the earth once again. As Alucard fell once more, Shizuku and Kurumu both gathered on the same rooftop as Sun before the former said to the petite girl, "Your support is so amazing Sun! It makes me feel useless putting in all that effort for only so little damage..." As she trailed off Kurumu nodded and added while looking ruefully at her nails, "I know why you mean.... It's hard being on the front lines against an opponent like this when all I can do is scratch them with my nails...." When she heard this however Sun quickly shook her head and exclaimed, "Not at all! The only reason I was able to do as much damage as I did was because you two had his attention the whole time while I sat back here where it was safe. Besides, I'm sure things would be different if we were allowed to finish him off instead of waiting for Moka and Alex...." As she trailed off as well the other two thought about what she said while Shizuku looked at her katana curiously, as she hadn't used the 'Demonic Dragons Flames' that Alex had added when he first made them. If she had used them then it was entirely possible that Alucard's body would have been quickly engulfed by the persistent flames until nothing was left, but that wasn't what they were asked to do. If the flat out destruction and slaughter of Alucard was their goal, then Rias, Grayfia, Kuroka, and Yue all would have also joined the fight by now instead of just trying to contain the damage. While the trio were talking though a growl that made the air vibrate tore through them, while Alucard stood once more and Miyabi said disdainfully, "Impressive skills, but unfortunately it'll take more than a few scratches to put us down. Stop dragging this out longer than it has to be, no matter how much you struggle it'll end the same way regardless!" To the stereotypical super villain speech, Shizuku fought the urge to sigh before she instead took a stance with her sheathed katana in front of Alucard and said, "Before we get back into it, let me try something first." Kurumu and Sun glanced at each other for a second before both girls shrugged, and stepped back to give Shizuku space. Of course when he saw her stance Alucard stated, "I already told you it's worthless." Ignoring him Shizuku took in a deep breath, before slowly releasing it as she focused her sword intent and Spatial magic. Then, in a fraction of a second, she appeared to soundlessly teleport to another building behind Alucard while resheathing her katana with a small 'click'. Unlike Shia's movements, which were based on explosive power and made lots of noise, Shizuku's was silent and graceful. Her attacks left one wondering what exactly had just happened, before they finally realized they were injured. It was the same this time as, an entire second after she had resheathed her katana, there was a giant splatter of blood as a massive gash appeared across Alucard's chest, while its left arm completely detached and fell to the streets below. Instead of looking back at the effect of her attack though, Shizuku took in a deep breath as she tried to recover the energy she used in the single attack. Naturally not just Alucard, but every one of the other members of Alex's peerage were in awe of Shizuku's attack as it was the single most powerful strike they had ever seen her deliver, an impressive feat for someone who was supposed to be a sneaky ninja. Predictably Alucard was nearly unfazed by the sudden attack, with the giant gash on its chest quickly closing while its arm had also started regrowing. Instead Miyabi turned towards Shizuku and said, "Once again that was impressive, but irrelevant. Perhaps to show you how meaningless your actions are, I should eliminate those civilians you're trying so hard to protect?" As he spoke the severed arm started bubbling disgustingly, before the flesh suddenly burst open and a sea of monsters poured out that surged towards the area everyone evacuated to like a tidal wave. Seeing the horde, Kuroka said as she started moving towards them, "Finally something to do~Nya, I'll go deal with them!" Right as the words left her mouth though, another voice suddenly answered, "Um Kuroka, could you please let me take care of them? I also want to test the results of my training!" The nekomata made a face at Anne's request, before saying bitterly, "Whatever you say, 'Dragon Empress'~Nya." This time it was Anne's turn to make a face at the title she had acquired recently, due to both her status as Alex's 'official' wife and her Dragon Slayer abilities. Putting the embarrassing title out of her mind, Anne called out to the surrounding Angels, "Spread out and funnel the approaching monsters down this street, I don't want them trying to go around us to get to the people!" The Angels that had accompanied her, members of her Emergency Response Team, immediately flew up and took positions on the tops of the nearby buildings, where they used their mastery over light to make sure the tidal wave of monsters didn't divert their path. As they approached with their long and slender beastial bodies, all pitch black with yellow bulbous abscesses and long lethal claws on each hand, drool dripping from their ravenous mouths as they raced towards the feast before them. Anne took in a breath and closed her eyes as she calmed her racing heart, before opening them to reveal that her pupils had become reptilian slits. Patches of scales started forming along her arms and her cheeks, while Anne's hair and the veils and ribbons adorning her dancers outfit started floating and drifting in a wind that didn't exist seconds before. As if in slow motion Anne stepped forward, before she suddenly rushed towards the horde of monsters while raising a whirlwind that blasted back at those standing behind her. As she quickly approached the horde Anne narrowed her eyes before muttering quietly, "Sky Dragon's Severing Claws!" As she passed through the monsters, Anne slashed her hands to the sides while both were surrounded with razor sharp winds, shredding the monsters into pieces instantly before they also slashed and destroyed most of the area around her. When she go to the point where she was practically surrounded by the rest of the several hundred monsters, Anne stopped her charge and pivoted on one foot with the grace of a dancer, before sweeping her hands around her to create a twister that picked up and shredded the creatures surrounding her. Once the twister she had created started to settle down the area around Anne was completely cleared of any other thing, either living or inanimate, and the rest of the oncoming horde was watching her warily. Slowly Anne turned to face the creatures that hadn't moved forward to attack yet, her still reptilian eyes focusing on them as she placed a foot forward to brace herself as she decided to wipe out as many as possible at once. She didn't have the same magic power reserves as Alex or even the majority of his peerage, instead she was able to 'eat' the air around her in order to refuel herself whenever she fought. The problem was that she was in the middle of a city and the air there was heavily polluted, meaning if she tried to 'eat' it then she'd instead lose what power she had left. Instead Anne braced herself and took in as deep a breath as possible without crippling herself, and screamed as loudly as she could, "SKY DRAGON'S ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!" As she shouted a colossal vortex of air formed from her mouth as it traveled down the street into the waiting horde of monsters. It picked up everything around it, even cars, and added them to danger as the twister crashed into the horde and kept going. Whatever wasn't immediately shredded by the razor-like blades of wind was instead battered and assaulted by the numerous debris that the roar had picked up. For as long as she could Anne maintained the roar that turned the single street into a disaster zone from all of the debris she had displaced, until finally she had to cut it off to reveal that, while she hadn't gotten all of them, there was hardly any creatures left. Feeling a sour sensation in her nose, Anne turned away from them and ordered the accompanying Angels, "Please take care of the rest of them, I'm going back to the evacuees." With the angels moving to do as she asked, Anne looked down at her trembling hands before gripping them tightly, and muttering, "I need to get stronger!" Ever since reincarnating she had never once desired power, instead pushing herself to focus on helping others. The only times she had ever come close to pursuing power was when she accompanied Alex through the Great Labyrinths in Tortus, and when she started training herself after she gave birth to Alec and Anna. However now, looking at beings like Alucard and feeling how powerless she was in polluted places like cities, Anne resolved herself to start training from scratch with her first goal being the ability Alex had told her about, 'Dragon Force'. *** While Anne was reaffirming her intention to get stronger, Shia, Shizuku, Sun, and Kurumu were busy toying around with Alucard; where the siren would use her 'song' to deal minute amounts of damage to his interior, while the other three would take turns attacking the exterior until the massive enemy eventually fell, before he healed and the process began all over again. As she watched Shizuku and Kurumu take their turn knocking Alucard down, Shia couldn't help but mutter to Sun, "I can see why he'd be such an outrageous opponent to other people. He's healed every single wound we've given him, no matter how severe, and he's shown no signs of slowing down despite having to move such a large body. Even if you were several times stronger than him, Alucard would always win through attrition alone..." Though that wasn't a problem for them, as half of their team hadn't even moved yet and Shia herself was still feeling peachy since she hadn't even used her magic reinforcement, she couldn't help but admire the outrageous opponent Alucard would have been if it had faced anyone else but them. Her thoughts were then interrupted as the ground shuddered, and more of the city's buildings were destroyed as Alucard once again went down after Shizuku replicated her earlier feat, and had severed one of its legs. As she and Kurumu rejoined her and Sun, Shizuku was panting exceptionally hard as she said, "I don't know how many of those I've got left in me...." Even as she spoke Shia noticed a slight tremble to her hands due to the fact that Shizuku wasn't used to using such power, but instead her fighting style had always relied on stealth and technique. Putting her hand on the ponytailed girls shoulder, Shia said somewhat excitedly, "It shouldn't be much longer until Moka and Alex rejoin us, I'll deal with him until then!" With Shizuku and Kurumu both nodding their heads in affirmation, Shia stepped forward to face Alucard once more as the rare thoughtful side she showed before disappeared, and instead the Berserker Bunny had come out to play. Leaping to another nearby building, Shia waited until Alucard was on its feet once more before Miyabi demanded, "Again? How long will it take you to understand that it's pointless? Being persistent will only get you so far!" Shia snorted at Alucard's taunts and instead she summoned all of her magic power, resulting in a light blue aura surrounding her that even matched some of the surrounding buildings in size, at least the ones still standing. When he saw it Miyabi raised his brows and was about to comment on the display, however Shia beat him to the punch by bracing herself and shouting, "HERE COMES THE BOOM!" Before he could even register what she said, Miyabi looked down and noticed a giant hole in the main body's chest, before the recoil of Shia's attack instantly demolished the building she had been standing on less than a second prior, and sent him flying backwards. This time though he didn't even hit the ground before Shia once again charged him from behind, destroying another building and opening up another hole in his chest while sending him flying forwards this time. And then she came from the side, and then from below, and suddenly she was above him. No matter what Miyabi was unable to follow Shia's destructive movements, as time and again she plowed right through his body while destroying more and more of their surroundings. Of course the parts that Shia blew off dissolved into more creatures like the arm and leg Shizuku severed before, but this time Yue stepped up to deal with them instead of leaving them for Anne, perhaps because she was getting bored. As he was struggling to keep up with her movements Shia suddenly appeared right in front of Miyabi, her fists balled up over her head and large smirk on her face as she shouted, "SHIA, SMAAAAASH!!!!" She then brought her hands down on top of Miyabi's head directly, sending a shockwave downwards that made blood and flesh rupture throughout his entire body as it lifelessly slumped to the ground. The destructive bunny then leapt back onto the only building left standing around them, which was only because that was where the rest of Alex's peerage had gathered while she rampaged. "Yosh! Let's see how long it takes him to get back up from that one!" She cried out with a large smile while holding up a peace sign with her fingers, before Kuroka suddenly grabbed her rabbit ears and snapped, "Hey, did you perhaps forget about us while you rampaged~Nya?! Or maybe our orders not to go too seriously until Alex and Moka got here~Nya?!" Naturally Shia didn't care about what Kuroka was saying, as she instead tried to free her captive ears while crying out, "Let go of my ears you meanie cat!" The two continued to bicker back and forth while the sludge that was previously Alucard tried to put itself back together. It was a testament to how much damage Shia had done that it was taking so long, when before he had been able to grow back entire limbs in much less than a minute. Eventually of course Alucard managed to stand once more with Miyabi's face contorted in rage from what was happening, primarily how he was apparently not being taken seriously at all considering that Shia had essentially just been playing with him. "You worthless insects. No matter how much you try, no matter how much damage you do, I will ALWAYS get back up! The best hope for you now is to simply become food for me to help me grow even stronger!" When they heard that every girl fought the urge to roll their eyes, while Kuroka even made a comment to Shia about how he was a chuuni just like her family, which seemed to do more damage to her than anything Alucard had done all day. Before any of them stepped up to go another round with him though, all of the girls and even Alucard froze before looking skyward at the tiny dot that marked Fairy Tale's former headquarters. Atop the floating fortress a massive cyclone of supernatural power circulated around the the transforming Moka, stupefying those who were controlling the supernatural energy from the outside. With her Shinso blood originating from Alucard himself, Moka was already inherently more powerful than a normal Shinso like Kokoa and Akua. However, when one also added in the fact that she had been gorging on Alex's blood almost daily ever since she met him, her already ridiculous power had increased to the point where, even compared to beings like the three Dark Lords and her own father, Moka could be considered a genuine monster. Even as they helped her to integrate with her Shinso blood, the two Dark Lords and Issa couldn't help but be amazed at the level of power Moka possessed as it swirled around her like a massive cyclone. Though they couldn't actually see Moka herself, everyone could just barely see her outline within the vortex as what appeared to be a pair of leathery wings spread out from her back, and her red eyes glowed sinisterly. Eventually Touhou called out, "That should be enough now!" Triggering Mikogami, Issa, and Akua to release their control on the supernatural energies around Moka, right as a series of notifications also went through her mind in response to her finally integrating with her blood. NOTICE! Shinso blood fully integrated, 'Blood Conversion', 'Supernatural Energy Conversion', 'Transformation', 'Supernatural Energy Manipulation', and 'Internal Energy Manipulation' are all unsealed. 'Enlarged Supernatural Energy Pool', 'Superhuman Strength', 'Automatic Regeneration', and 'Martial Technique' no longer weakened! New skill 'Blood ManipulationSelf' added! Moka however didn't pay any attention to the notifications, as she instead gave her body a once over to quickly admire the changes. First was the two bat-like wings that had grown from her back, each with a talon-like hook on the end to even grab things with; then there was the blackish substance that was covering her arms, legs, and even her abdomen under her clothes, even going as far as going up her neck. At first glance it appeared to be some kind of armor that formed whenever she activated her Shinso powers, the truth was though that, while it was in fact a type of armor, it was formed from her own blood that had seeped through her pores to cover her body in a protective layer. Though she could've spent some time admiring herself, Moka instead focused her gaze downwards where she could sense Alucard's presence after it had been dropped. Then, without a single word to the dumbfounded spectators, she kicked off the ground and flew towards the edge of the floating fortress before plummeting below, leaving everyone else behind. There was a moment of silence before Touhou awkwardly asked no one in particular, "So, should we go as well?" With no one disagreeing, the group took one of Fairy Tale's left over airsh.i.p.s while Akua did as Alex taught her, and summoned the mist to enter Asora with the dragons to find Bova before rejoining her family. Moka meanwhile was rushing to the ground as quickly as possible with her sight dead set on Alucard, before she flipped and, faster than he could have reacted, delivered the mother of all heel drops onto Alucard's shoulder. As if in slow motion, Moka's attack tore it's way downwards through Alucard's body, then it's leg, before it finally impacted the ground beneath them, making the entire area around them shake for the umpteenth time that day. As Alucard's giant body fell to one knee from the damage done to only one leg, Miyabi glared at Moka before spitting out, "Of course, Akasha's daughter is here now!" Moka's eyes narrowed as he mentioned her mother, before she suddenly reappeared right in front of Miyabi himself and said, "This is for my mother!" The top of her foot then impacted the side of Miyabi's face with enough force that Alucard's entire body was then sent flying to the side. As he tried to recover from that attack Moka rushed him once more, except this time, instead of one of her signature kicks, Moka held one of her hands out in the shape of a claw while blood oozed out from her pores to form an actual claw on the tip of each finger. Using her newfound claws, Moka then literally tore through Alucard's flesh with extreme prejudice, and precision, leaving several long tracks of torn flesh even though Alucard simply quickly healed these as well. After several flybys with her claws Moka took a step back as Alucard slowly recovered, before Miyabi snapped, "I must admit that you're even more ferocious than Akasha, her biggest weak point was always her kindness!" Moka's brow twitched at the second mention of her mother, but she did nothing Alucard stood once more, before she suddenly clenched her hand. "How's this for 'ferocious'?" She spat back, right as Alucard's body suddenly seemed to start tearing itself open from the inside out as the blood she injected during her previous attacks literally shredded him from the inside out, while a spike of blood even shot directly out of Miyabi's mouth just to shut him up. As Miyabi was trying to figure out how to deal with this new form of attack, as he had always been the one to corrupt from the inside and not the other way around, Rias stepped forward and said to Moka, "I know you'd probably like to fight by yourself for a while, but the rest of us are getting bored you know. Don't worry, we won't kill him just yet!" With Moka nodding in agreement, the rest of the girls stepped up as well, with Yue, Kuroka, and even Grayfia showing sinister smiles for finally getting their turn to fight. Miyabi was naturally about to give them some speech about how useless it was when he saw them all preparing to fight, but whatever he was about to say was caught in his throat when suddenly the entire left side of his upper chest disappeared along with his shoulder and even part of his arm. It hadn't been smashed or attacked in a similar manner as before, but, as far as he could tell, it had simply been erased altogether so that there was not a single trace left. He didn't get long to try and figure out what happened though, as his entire right leg suddenly started freezing until a pillar of ice several dozen feet thick had it trapped, while a mass of blackish energy suddenly assaulted his right arm, destroying it as well. The next thing Miyabi saw was a kimono wearing cat girl with four tails floating in front of him, who sneered sadistically before saying, "Ant, meet foot~Nya!" *** After thoroughly disciplining Gyokuro, Alex took her to Asora and entrusted her to Venri's supervision while leaving her with a brand new slave mark, her new maid outfit, and a cheery red butt from all of the spankings he gave her. After stopping long enough to make sure Bova was taking care of the new dragons, Alex then left to rejoin the fight against Alucard, only to find pure destruction waiting for him. "What the hell happened here?" Alex wondered out loud, as he thought that the girls would at least try to avoid causing damage to the city while they fought. Naturally it didn't take him long to figure out where everyone was, as he only had to follow the sounds of destruction to find them. Soon he was greeted by what was truly the most pathetic of sights, which was the girls mercilessly toying with a giant formless lump of flesh that was supposed to the world's incarnation of death and destruction, Alucard. Off to the side was Touhou, Mikogami, and the Shuzens watching on as the two Dark Lords wondered what they had even been concerned about to begin with. As he approached Alex called out, "Having fun I see." For the most part the girls turned and casually welcomed him, but Kuroka leapt into Alex's arms while asking with a large smile, "Alex, can we keep him around for a punching bag~Nya?!" This made Alex smile wryly while Touhou and Mikogami looked as if they both suffered critical damage from Kuroka's comment, to which he answered, "Sorry, but after one last thing I plan to kill him." Her ears drooped sadly in response to Alex's words, as she felt that something that didn't die no matter how much they damaged it would be great to use for training. He then continued his approach to Alucard's body unimpeded as the rest of the girls cleared a path until the last one was Moka, who's hand Alex grabbed gently before asking, "How do you feel?" Moka was staring intently at the lump of flesh that was Alucard, before she finally said, "Better, but no matter how much I hurt him it won't bring her back..." Alex smiled wryly and planted a kiss on the top of Moka's head, before saying softly, "No, but maybe this will." Moka looked at him sharply as Alex continued forward, while Miyabi's face glared at him hatefully as he pulled out a certain object from his pocket, Moka's rosary. No one understood what Alex was doing, until he pressed the rosary against the side of Alucard's flesh, and it suddenly shined with a brilliant pink light. From the point that the rosary contacted, Alucard's body suddenly surged upwards as it formed what almost appeared to be a chrysalis upon a mountain of flesh, while six giant vampiric wings spread out behind it. The chrysalis then peeled back like the petals of a flower to reveal a certain pink haired woman within, who almost seemed like the more mature version of 'outer' Moka. The moment they saw her everyone's eyes widened as Issa and Moka's both started tearing up slightly, before the silver haired vampiress muttered in disbelief, "Mother...?" Akasha slowly opened her eyes before she looked around curiously, before her gaze landed on her daughter. "Moka...." Akasha said as her own eyes started tearing up, a large smile appearing on her beautiful face before she continued, "You've grown so much...." Moka laughed lightly while also trying, and failing, to hold back her tears as she said, "I missed you so much..." Akasha's smile widened and she tried to say something else, before Alex suddenly interjected, "Sorry to ruin this reunion, but if Akasha is to stay permanently then we should move." When they heard this Moka looked at Alex in shock, while Akasha looked at him curiously before saying, "I can see some of the memories left over in my rosary, you're Alex right?" Alex nodded and said while flying up to where Akasha was, "Yes, and I can use certain magics that'll possibly sever your connection to Alucard, freeing you from his control." Akasha smiled sadly in response to what he said, and replied, "While I do appreciate the thought, my body and soul are irreversibly connected to Alucard's, even the me here right now is just a shadow of my former self." Alex smirked knowingly when he heard that though, and said, "That's what the rosary is for, and have faith that I'll succeed, either version of Moka will tell you that the word 'impossible' doesn't apply to me!" Though he was just boasting, when she checked her own doubles memories and glanced down at Moka, Akasha was surprised to see that both girls believed in him wholeheartedly. Eventually she nodded in agreement, before saying, "Then I leave myself in your care." Alex didn't waste any time as he reached out and grasped Akasha's arm, before pulling on her gently. As he did so he used his Alteration magic to manipulate the flesh binding her to Alucard's body, and his Spirit magic to sever the spiritual connection between the two. Within moments Akasha's body came free of Alucard's hold, shocking her quite a bit as she tightly grabbed onto Alex's body, making both Issa and Moka twitch their brows in annoyance. Slowly Alex drifted down to the ground with Akasha in his embrace, before passing her to Kuroka immediately once his feet touched the ground and saying, "Use your Spirit magic to merge what's left of Akasha's soul with the fragments in the rosary, if everything goes well then her soul will fully recover with a few follow up treatments." With the last part directed at Moka and Issa, the father-daughter duo let out a sigh of relief before rushing over to Akasha's side while Alex turned back towards Alucard. Miyabi had just been silently watching the whole scene unfold from the side, before saying as Alex approached, "So now what, it's your turn to fight me?" Alex just smile wryly and said, "Not exactly. First I'll destroy your soul, leaving your body a soulless husk, then I'll use a special type of flame that'll destroy your entire body without letting you regenerate, ending the legacy of both Dracula and Alucard forever." Miyabi's eyes widened when he heard Alex use his former name, before he muttered somewhat sadly, "Dracula....that's a name I haven't heard in a long time...." He then looked sadly at Akasha before adding, "You know, what comes next wouldn't be so bad if I had some company for old times sake...." Though he was essentially asking for Akasha's soul to be destroyed as well, Alex knew it was because it was from Akasha's insistence that Alucard self destructed in the original timeline along with her, Touhou, and Mikogami. In response he just simply placed his hand against Miyabi's forehead and said, "Maybe, but she deserves to have some happiness for a change, without her life being bound to yours." Miyabi didn't say anything in response to this, and simply closed his eyes one last time before Alex pulled out his soul and used his 'Soul Break' on him, leaving Alucard's body an empty husk. He then used his magic to make a giant pit before throwing the giant corpse within, and using his 'Demonic Dragons Breath' to destroy every last bit of it. As the body burned someone approached Alex from behind, making him turn to see Issa standing there nervously before saying, "Thank you, for everything. I never thought I'd see Akasha again, let alone get the chance to be with her once more. As a father I'd be honored to g-give you m-my d-daughter...." Struggling with his last few words before trailing off slightly, Issa looked as if he swallowed a bug before grimacing slightly, his fatherly instincts pushing him to fight Alex for trying to take Moka. However, due to everything Alex had done for them, he forced these feelings down and gave them his blessing for their relationship, only for Alex to look exceptionally nervous as he responded with, "I *cough cough*-s....." Issa looked at Alex with confusion and asked with what he hoped was an amicable smile, "I'm sorry, what was that?" Alex however looked around awkwardly as he repeated, "I said that 'I think you mean......." Trailing off in a voice so low Issa couldn't hear him, the vampires amicable smile twitched as he asked once again, "I didn't catch that then either." Finally Alex looked as if he was resolving himself, and he finally said, "I said ' think you mean daughterS', as in plural..." His expression freezing, Issa could only ask, "Huh?", right as both Kokoa and Akua walked to Alex's side for him to put an arm around them. Akua then said, "This is a bit late father, but Kokoa and I have made the decision to join Alex's harem." When he heard his daughter's confirmation Issa face suddenly turned a deep Crimson as he glared at Alex for daring to take not one, not two, but THREE of his daughters. Before he could say anything though, a new voice cried out, "Hey wait! Why does it feel like I'm being left out!" The now awake Kahlua pouted, not really understanding what was going on, but only knowing that her sisters were leaving her out of something. Akua then piped up once more before anyone else could, "You can join as well you know Kahlua, even if he had a thousand beauties in his harem this guy will still welcome anyone with open arms." Though she wasn't entirely accurate, Alex didn't bother trying to correct Akua's statement as Kahlua immediately brightened up and ran over to his side to join them, before she got a thoughtful look and asked, "By the way, what does it mean to be in a harem?" Akua's expression turned into a mischievous grin as she leaned forward and started whispering into her sister's ear, making Kahlua's face immediately turn red for an entirely different reason than Issa's, though his had turned to more of a deep purple by the point. "You little shit, wanting to take ALL of my daughters! WHY I'M GONNA-" what Issa was gonna do they never got to hear, as at that moment, as everything started winding down, a sudden notice brought everyone's gazes skywards where a massive portal had suddenly opened. "What the hell?" Mikogami muttered while everyone looked upwards in confusion, however after a few seconds Alex's expression changed into one of recognition along with that of Rias, Kuroka, Grayfia, Yue, Shia, and Shizuku's. As if to confirm their suspicions Anne immediately arrived and demanded, "Is that what I think it is?!" Alex only nodded slowly as what appeared to be an entire fleet of spacesh.i.p.s started coming through the massive portal, before saying, "Another reincarnator is here." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Name: Moka Akashiya Race: Shinso Vampire Job: Apprentice Martial Artist: 25 Jobs Available: Martial Artist, Kick Fighter, Subordinate Vampire Princess, Undying Warrior, Blood Warrior Job History: Passive Skills: Blood conversion: Level 3 Enlarged Supernatural Energy Pool: Level 8 Supernatural Energy Conversion: Level 2 Superhuman Strength: Level 3 Automatic Regeneration: Level 4 Water Resistance: Level 3 Mental Resistance: Level 1 Active Skills: Vampiric Charm: Level 2 Transformation: Level 1 Martial Technique: Level 4 Supernatural Energy Manipulation: Level 2 Internal Energy Manipulation: Level 1 Blood Manipulationself: Level 1Allows the user to completely manipulate only their own blood wether it is inside or outside their body.
