Nameless King



Everyone expected to see Alucard's blow destroy the barrier and free Kraken from the chains that completely restrained his movement. However, the World of Darkness was an opponent that could hardly be defeated.

At the very least, a single fist strike was not enough to break the barrier that would have taken the best mages in the world years to create.

Usually, if a fighter failed to break the barrier in one attack, he would just have to try again and again until he succeeded. However, this barrier could not only absorb energy but also return it to the one who attacked.

Considering Alucard's power and the fact that he was serious, the power of his strike was enough to destroy his own body due to the terrifying recoil.

"Well, this is what happens when the attack is more powerful than the defense." Liang muttered with a slight sigh.

"Hah, is that you talking?" Nitra smirked, "I'm still not sure what it was at that moment... but your power is beyond my calculations or even imagination."

Liang nodded, "Yeah, and we better never do that again. Next time, it's unlikely that Alucard will be around to fix whatever we've done. Damn, it's even kind of weird that the most eccentric of us turned out to be the most serious and reasonable at the most important moments."

"Wait... Is that really all...?" Nila muttered in disbelief, looking at Alucard's fist, the only thing left of it after the blow.

Liang smirked, "Oh, right, you've never seen a Vampire Progenitor fight, have you?"

Nila shook her head, "I know like the others that he has incredible regeneration, but is it possible to survive something like that? I mean... Even Fifth Chronicle Vampires need to have a head, heart, or at least some organ left to fully regenerate."

"Hahaha." Liang laughed without holding back his emotions, "Even though you became one of the Transcendence Creatures today, it's obvious that you still have a lot to learn about the top of this world."

Liang pointed at Alucard's fist, "Just watch. It's nicknamed immortal not because of the high regeneration that even the most ordinary Vampire possesses, but because it can't actually be killed."

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

At the same moment, from Alucard's fist came a multitude of scarlet threads that quickly began to form a silhouette. First bones and veins were created, then muscles, tendons, organs, and skin.

There were many processes, but they all happened almost instantaneously. In a heartbeat, Alucard had fully recovered and he looked completely normal. It was no different from the thousands of other times he had died. In a way, this had long since become routine for him.

"Agh... Not bad, with normal strikes I definitely won't be able to break through this barrier. Well, after all, this barrier was created by the chains of the World of Darkness, so I should have been prepared for it." Alucard muttered with a serious expression.

Then, Alucard's aura intensified as an I mark appeared on his hands.

"The First Gate..." Alucard muttered as his eyes became deeper and every spectator felt a chill go down their spine.

They sensed that before them was an enemy capable of destroying the world with its power if it wished. Now, this creature had only one goal - to break down the barrier that blocked the path between him and his pet.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Alucard raised his fist to strike again, gathering in it a tremendous force that made space shake. It was felt even in the open space as the chains began to shake slightly, causing them to jingle.

Kraken's eyes went wide. He couldn't believe that there was a creature in this world that could go against the rules of the World of Darkness.

World of Darkness never interfered with what happened in other spaces, even in open space this entity acted very rarely. Therefore, many people forgot that even Progenitors couldn't break the rules that World of Darkness followed so easily.

"Well... Let's see what you can do." Alucard took a deep breath before unleashing his fist which emitted powerful crimson energy streams.

Gael's eyes narrowed as his body revealed a multitude of scars and he swung his arm, creating a wall of flame between the colosseum and the open space. 

Ereg did the same, summoning more ghosts and intensifying his flames. They realized what was about to happen, so they did their best to protect the colosseum and the spectators as much as possible.

Bam.

At the same moment, Alucard's fist reached its target, as the scarlet energy released its full power in a single point.

Electric shocks went through the barrier just like Alucard's hands. The pressure at one point was too powerful, forcing the energy to compress into a form similar to lightning bolts to spread and dissipate faster.

Then, with a bright flash, the full force of Alucard's blow crashed down on the barrier, causing it to crack.

Whoooooooooooooooooooosh. ɴovel(F)ɪre

The powerful shockwave destroyed part of the black and white flame wall with devastating streams of wind. They were like ghosts, fleeing from a place where no living thing could survive, demolishing everything in their path.

Since they were wind currents, the colosseum's barrier did not absorb them or stop them in any way, but that did not mean they were safe. Wind currents created by a blow of such power were already weapons in themselves.

The clouds slowly drifting across the sky were torn apart, and the mountains in the distance were left with deep claw-like cuts, as was the ground behind the colosseum.

The spectators had to use defense skills and help each other to avoid getting seriously injured by the wind.

Even Liang and Nitra were no exception.

"Oh, such a powerful wind and only from a single blow. Well, in the end, it was with that power that he destroyed my temple and saved the Tree..." Liang muttered, extending his arm.

The wind that should have cut him apart, obediently stopped in front of him and at Liang's will, became calm and docile.

Nila's eyes went wide, she was surprised at how easily Liang did it. Unlike Nitra, she hadn't seen what Liang was capable of if he used all his strength. He was the real monster here whose power could be a threat to a hundred worlds.

Crackle. Crackle. Crack.

Cracks quickly spread through the barrier, but the runes in the magic circles shone brightly, causing them to rotate rapidly. 

Each magic circle released outward energy to repair the damage to the barrier, given their total number, the cracks were quickly being repaired.

However, Alucard knew better than anyone what needed to be done before the enemy could recover.

Bam.

Alucard clenched his fist and attacked again, then again and again. Each time, his attacks became stronger, and Alucard took heavy damage from his own blows. However, before the next blow, his wounds were already gone.

In response, the magic circles continued to spin faster and faster, but it was clearly not enough to overcome Alucard's hail of attacks.

Shards began to fly from the barrier, and the runes on the magic circles were gradually running out. The magic circles disappeared one by one and soon the barrier became quite dim and transparent.

"Hah. World of Darkness, is this really all you can do?" Alucard smirked, delivering the final blow.

The barrier shattered into small shards, whizzing in front of Alucard and Kraken.

Kraken's eyes went wide in disbelief. The monster just couldn't believe that Alucard could do that.

Alucard smirked, took a deep breath, and stepped forward confidently.

"Well, it's almost done. All that's left is to get rid of those nasty chains and you'll get your name!" Alucard exclaimed, then he tore towards the chains.

Nothing was stopping him this time, it seemed that the World of Darkness no longer had a way to stop the Vampire Progenitor.

Bam. Bam. Bam.

Alucard began to rain down blows, shattering the chains. After a while, he destroyed most of the chains and Kraken was free to move his long tentacles.

To anyone, Kraken should have looked like a fearsome and dangerous monster, but now he looked harmless and perhaps cute to some. Kraken shook his tentacles happily like a dog shaking its tail.

Alucard smirked, realizing what Kraken was feeling right now, but he didn't say anything. First, he had to destroy all the chains and name his pet. 

Craken. Crackle. Crackle.

The chains flew off to the sides, unable to withstand the Alucard's powerful grip. Now that nothing was protecting the chains, it was very easy for him.

"Oh, he did it after all." Gael muttered as a slight smile appeared on his face.

Then, he turned to Ereg and his eyes went wide. Ereg's fur stood up, and his gaze was deep and worried as if his instincts were telling him that disaster was about to strike.

Step. Step. Step. Step.

Alucard walked up to Kraken, waved his hand, and said again, "Now your name is, "

Whoooooooooooooooooooosh.

Before Alucard could finish, dozens of chains emerged from the darkness. However, this time they weren't aimed at Kraken, but at him, the one who had long since had a name.
