Nameless King

Chapter 1086 The Name That Changed Everything

"Hmph, a dangerous open space monster who is at the top of the God Stage... Given its unique abilities is even capable of defeating a newcomer to the Transcendence Stage like Nila..." Wain muttered thoughtfully while rubbing his chin.

Everyone was waiting for Alucard to do this, and everyone had their own theories.

"Marlis, what do you think?" Sven asked, glaring at her.

"Agh... I can't say anything. Every monster who gains consciousness and a name becomes much stronger and is also able to change its appearance. However, no one knows if it's possible to go to the Transcendence Stage with it. Even if it does, it will be the first and only time. I'm sure of it." Marlis uttered with a serious expression.

Osvald grinned widely, "Damn... Alucard is actually doing whatever he wants. It's so exciting! I wonder if I'd be the same if I had immortality?"

Wain shook his head, "You're misunderstanding this situation. He didn't become so free because of immortality, he became immortal because of who he is. Obviously, that's not the only reason, but you get my point."

Osvald nodded silently with a deep gaze. He was also at the Transcendence Stage, but he was quite far from Wain's level or the stage where Alucard was. Even among the strongest, there was no equality. There was always someone who surpassed the other.

Tentacles slowly moved amongst the darkness, while a multitude of amber eyes were directed at a man in a long aristocratic coat, blond hair, and crimson eyes.

His long fangs could frighten anyone, and his aura was capable of overwhelming most creatures in this universe.

However, right now the Vampire Progenitor was not going to fight anyone, on the contrary, for the second time in this fight he was going to help someone. ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

The first time it was Nila, who he threw right into Kraken's jaw, now it was Kraken himself. Definitely to some this situation looked and was ironic, but to Alucard, it was more than okay.

"Fine, I've made up my mind. I won't complicate things." Alucard uttered, with an excited expression, looking at his pet, the only one of its kind.

Alucard pointed at the monster and said majestically, "It used to be a nickname, but now it will be your name. Now your name is Kraken!"

Kraken's eyes went wide as powerful energy began to emanate from his body. This was normal in a situation like this, however, something unexpected happened very soon.

Whoooooooooooosh.

Many chains with purple ancient runes appeared from the darkness. They curled around Kraken, completely immobilizing him and preventing his tentacles from even moving.

Then, Kraken's aura began to drop rapidly, returning to its previous value.

Kraken wasn't frightened, and moreover, he didn't even try to get out of the chains. There was a sadness in his gaze, as if he had expected this to happen and it could not be avoided.

However, unlike Kraken, Alucard was not going to put up with it.

"What the fuck...?" Alucard clenched his fists tightly while dense streams of red aura emanated from his body, powerful enough to give the audience goosebumps.

Even those at Fifth Chronicle had only encountered such power a few times in their lives.

Obviously, Alucard was completely unhappy with what had happened and there was only one thing he could do - change everything.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Space shook as Alucard received a great frown, clenching his teeth tightly.

"World of Darkness... How dare you interfere with me? All I do is name my pet! There's nothing about this that concerns you!" Alucard exclaimed furiously.

Nitra watching the scene shook her head, "I understand his irritation, but I think it makes sense. Now, I realize that Alucard originally had no chance of success."

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Liang raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"Unlike all the other monsters, spatial bugs, guards, and this Kraken, were born in a place that is not officially space. World of Darkness doesn't have a host or any kind of core, in fact, it can hardly even be called space in the manner we're used to." Nitra sighed.

Nitra continued, "World of Darkness, it's just a canvas on which all the spaces in our universe are located, so... it seems monsters born in open space have certain limitations."

Liang frowned, "It's still strange to me. These creatures are born in darkness and their only job is to get rid of those who throw out too much energy. Yeah, they're stronger than most other monsters, but such restrictions, it's not fair at all."

"Well..." Nitra shrugged, "Our world isn't fair. You and I should understand that better than others."

At that moment, Nila rose from the ground and with her palm pressed against her chest took a few steps forward.

"You're probably right... But, does Alucard realize that? I doubt the rules and laws of the World of Darkness matter to him." Nila muttered in a worried voice, looking at Alucard's back.

Even though Alucard's anger was directed at the World of Darkness, a chill ran down Nila's spine. Only then did she fully realize how fearless she had been when she had boldly kissed Alucard.

It was unlikely that she would be able to do the same thing again without thinking that Alucard could kill her with a flick of his hand.

Step.

Alucard took a step forward, and at that moment an energy wave quickly traveled through the colosseums.

To everyone's surprise, most of the runes on the colosseum glowed brightly as they tried to absorb the energy. This didn't happen even when Gael and Ereg's fists collided with each other.

Of course, Gael and Ereg hadn't shown their maximum strength yet, but Alucard didn't even attack. All he did was simply step forward while an abnormal amount of energy emanated from his body.

"World of Darkness... I'm giving you one last chance to release my pet or else I'll destroy all your chains and I assure you. You will have to rebuild them for a very long time and things will happen in this world that break your rules." Alucard coldly said while continuing to walk forward.

However, the black chains just continued to twist Kraken's body. Moreover, it seemed like they were intentionally doing it harder than necessary.

World of Darkness' job in such a case was simply to prevent the monster from getting a name if it wasn't ready for it. Nothing more, and everyone knew that, so, this action only made Alucard even angrier.

Whooooooooooooosh.

Alucard jumped high up, clenching his fist tightly. Alucard didn't use energy, it was a punch with pure physical force.

He aimed at the place where there were the most chains, because of Kraken's massive body, which was where dozens of chains were intertwined and could be destroyed in one successful attack.

The world seemed to slow down at that moment, for everyone, and it didn't matter who it was, Liang, Nila, an ordinary Beastfolk or Wain, who was currently a ghost.

They all realized that no matter the outcome, this strike would show some of Alucard's true power. Unlike all the previous times, now he was serious.

For Liang and Nitra this scene had a special meaning since recently they had seen what Alucard was capable of if he was serious.

However, at that time, Alucard was not fighting anyone. His job was to save Nitra and the Tree, that was the reason why he got serious. So, now all they wanted to see was his pure power.

Whoooooooooooooooooooosh.

Before Alucard's fist was to reach the chains, the runes on them shone brightly. Then, a dense purple barrier appeared between Alucard and Kraken.

Nitra's eyes went wide when she saw this barrier, the same thing happened to Marlis. They were both well-versed in science and especially in magical circles, so they understood better than anyone how difficult this barrier was.

"No way... I could be wrong, but hidden inside this barrier are hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of complex magic circles with multiple formations and millions of runes. It would take me hours to create even one such circle, and I'd know what to do." Marlis muttered in a disbelief.

Sven shrugged, "Well, that's not surprising. Anyway, World of Darkness has a lot more time than a few hours. I'm sure World of Darkness could use something more powerful if necessary. Anything to keep its rules in place."

Wain smirked, "Hahaha, what an amazing combination. An entity that makes other spaces exist, technically, whose main goal is to follow the rules, and an entity that is used to having no rules for him. It's a true battle of titans or ideologies."

At the same moment, Alucard's fist came down on the center of the magic circle. Powerful energy pulses traveled through Alucard's body as well as the barrier.

Then, Alucard's eyes opened wide, and he exploded with a bloody burst. All that was left of him was a fist stuck in the barrier.
