Sometimes amongst the many options, there was no good choice left. Ereg found himself in just such a situation, either Jaws' sharp teeth would sink into his flesh or Gael's sword would leave a long cut on his chest.
Sure, in a way, the least worst option, compared to the worst one, was the better option. However, then when comparing the two, essentially neither option was anything good for Ereg. freewebnσvel.cøm
'Shit! It's better to block what I know, isn't it? I have a strong body, I can take it, even if partially!" Ereg inwardly exclaimed taking a step back and swinging his arms to the left towards Gael.
Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.
The sword collided with the ether claws, causing ripples in the air and a slight shiver. Gael was strong, and Peace Nightmare was a dangerous weapon, but it wasn't capable of getting through 81% of ether claws.
"Hah, you probably think you made the right choice. Well... You guessed right." Gael smirked, not like an opponent, but like Ereg's old friend, "Your instincts never fail you. They're your most powerful weapon, but even they can't help you escape the inevitable."
Crackle.
At the same moment, a massive jaw with its own sharp teeth sank into Ereg's shoulder. As he had assumed, the jaw had a hard time penetrating through his skin, but that only saved him for a second, and then the sharp teeth did their job.
Everyone waited for this moment with genuine interest, and for good reason, for then they immediately saw the difference between Gael's jaw and Wain's.
If Wain's most powerful summoned jaw was now in the same place as Gael's one, that is, sinking its teeth into Ereg's shoulder, Ereg would most likely lose part of his arm. It would have been a massive chunk of flesh or bone damage, not a complete tear of the limb, but the damage would have been horrific.
However, Gael's jaw did not have the same destructive power and compression force, for it had a different target.
There was not a single trickle of blood coming out of Ereg's many wounds from the sharp teeth. It was strange, for such a thing was not possible, however, it was logical, for the jaw was absorbing that blood.
"What...? Do these jaws work like vampire fangs? Something like that?" Nitra raised an eyebrow with a confused expression.
Alucard nodded.
"Yeah, how did you figure that out? Do you have eyes like the rest of us? Maybe you should become a professional commentator so we don't miss anything?" Alucard smirked, answering mockingly
Nitra frowned.
"Damn it! That was a normal question! Why can't you ever just answer normally!" Nitra exclaimed irritably, clenching her fists with a menacing expression on her face.
It was quite difficult to put up with Alucard's temperament and manner of speaking, for one had to either be the calmest person in the world or be his equal in strength. In that case, the one could make jokes about Alucard in return, but Nitra couldn't afford it.
As a Construct, she didn't take humor very well, though she understood when someone was joking or mocking. However, she wasn't sure she could respond in kind. Weapons like sarcasm were simply not in her arsenal or at a very early stage, while Alucard was a master with thousands of years of experience.
Liang cast a quick glance at Nitra before returning to watching the fight.
He knew that her request would not be heard by Alucard, it was simply useless. On the contrary, such a reaction would only increase Alucard's excitement, opening up new opportunities for him. Unfortunately for Nitra, she didn't realize that.
Step. Step. Step.
Alucard took a few steps, slowly approaching Nitra. Then, his silhouette blurred, and he appeared right in front of Nitra. Before she could realize anything, Alucard kissed her, even more insistently than the first time, completely confident in his actions.
Liang shook his head with a heavy sigh. In fact, this time spent with Alucard had been enough for him to predict this. However, it seemed that for women, Alucard acted completely unpredictable.
Nila and Krana's faces flushed, one of them having technically been born in her new form only an hour ago, and Nila having been in the same situation earlier.
Nitra's eyes went wide. Like the others, she hadn't expected Alucard to do something like this. However, this time she didn't even try to resist. In fact, she decided to let her feelings sit deep inside and try to savor this moment rather than reject it.
Alucard smirked, he was more than experienced to realize whether Nitra liked it or not. Not that it mattered to him, but he could use it to build on.
"What the hell...? Didn't you just recently kiss me...?" Nila muttered with a devastated look. She didn't know why, but at that moment, she felt a mix of jealousy and envy, even though she didn't want that at all.
Alucard turned to her.
"Don't worry. I'm enough for everyone, both emotionally and physically. With my regeneration, I can satisfy you all, and not get tired at all." Alucard said bluntly, completely unashamed.
Nila and Nitra's faces turned as red as tomatoes. They didn't need to explain to understand what Alucard was talking about, it was all very obvious.
However, what scared them the most was that they weren't ready to give it up. Deep inside, they wanted to say that Alucard was crazy and it would never happen, but something stopped them.
Alucard narrowed his eyes, licking his lips predatorily.
The look on their faces told him everything, and it couldn't help but make him happy.
"Hey! I want one too!" Krana suddenly exclaimed, clasping her hand to her chest.
Perhaps because she was just getting used to the norms of society and socializing she was just learning, she didn't realize how awkward it would be for other girls.
Krana saw the situation differently - Nila and Nitra were going to enjoy themselves with Alucard, and she was going to be left out. Naturally, Krana couldn't let that happen!
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!" Alucard laughed without holding back. Obviously, even he hadn't expected such a result.
Then, he smirked with a sharp look, staring intently at Nila, Nitra, and Krana as his targets.
"Three at once, right? Well, I can't say this will be my record, but you're all from different races and are on the Transcendence Stage... I definitely haven't had that yet." Alucard chuckled insidiously.
"Agh... However, that puts some obligations on me, doesn't it? I can't skimp on any of you." Alucard shrugged before stepping forward, appearing in front of Nila.
Nila's eyes went wide when what she so desired happened. Alucard kissed her, and then he headed over to Krana and did the same.
Liang sighed heavily again.
'They just fell under his influence so easily... Well, I can't blame them, there are hardly many women in this world who could resist Alucard's insistent attempts.' Liang pondered while directing his gaze towards the battle.
At the same time, Gael's jaw had absorbed quite a bit of blood, turning red by a third. Then, Gael smirked and kicked Ereg aside with his foot.
Ereg's face creased in pain. He sighed and landed confidently on his feet, holding onto his shoulder. He had no trouble using his right arm, for the jaw teeth had not pierced his bone or tendons.
However, that wasn't what he was worried about. He wasn't as seriously injured as he would have been if Peace Nightmare had sliced through his chest, but that didn't mean he was happy with the situation.
There was a wide grin on Gael's face as he cast a glance at the jaw hovering above him. From the jaw, an increasingly powerful aura gradually emanated.
"Well, well, looks like now is the time to find out if you made the right choice or not," Gael said with eyes sparkling with anticipation.
Ereg snorted with a great grimace.
"Come on. We both know you'd find a way to get me to set my jaw to bite. You better show me what your third scar can do before it's too late!" Ereg uttered as the blue flames around him intensified.
His blue ghost had reached 83% strength and was only a little bit away from 85%. This would be his next barrier, after which, Gael would not be able to act so confidently, at least with three scars out of seven.
Wain, Marlis, Sven, and Osvald watched Gael with curiosity, and the jaw that at his will began to quiver, first weakly and slowly, then quite strongly and quickly.
At that moment, Alucard stopped teasing Nila, Nitra, and Krana and returned to his spot to watch the fight. He couldn't miss it because Gael had been using his third scar for quite some time.
Nila, Nitra, and Krana glanced over, blushed, and moved closer to Alucard, not too much, but they stayed near him.
Alucard paid no attention to this, for he was watching the jaw from which the pieces began to break off, turning into other jaws - smaller but with the same sharp teeth.
