Chapter 73 - Olympus Has Fallen! [3]

With her sword in hand, she stood in combat position as her wound regenerated thanks to the marks of Light. "I'm much better! But I don't know if I can defeat this man, he's the famous son of Hades after all..." Andromeda thought, watching Alucard approach.

…

In Arthur's camp, the kings and Arthur conversed, seemingly indifferent to the battle raging behind them.

Butler, with an indifferent look, served wine to Kings Freyr, Qin, Gu, and Thalor.

King Gu, curiosity shining in his eyes, looked at Arthur. – King Arthur, when do you believe the war will end? – he asked.

Qin-Shi, King Freyr and the King of Vanain/Thalor looked at Arthur, eager to understand his thoughts.

Arthur, smiling, looked up at the sky. – Zeus is famous for his thunders... – he began.

…

On the battlefield, Andromeda used the Amazon Bloody War Art, making several precise cuts to Alucard's vital points.

Alucard smiled. – You're experienced and a skilled martial artist. It's a shame that in the face of absolute power, no technique can resist... – he said. Using dark Qi, his sword manifested black flames. "I could use Necromancy, but father is blocking my abilities..." He sighed, holding the flaming dark sword.

Seeing Alucard's wounds regenerate, Andromeda griped her sword tightly and thought, "I will not fear! I trust in the power of the Light!" She exclaimed, – Let's see if between you and the Light who is the strongest! – the runes of Light shone on her body.

– Hmph! You blind worshippers of the Light! I am a god, ridiculous creature! – Alucard sneered, looking at Andromeda.

The queen and Alucard advanced, their swords meeting with a vibrant – Clang! – that echoed across the battlefield.

The impact of their swords created a gust of wind across the battlefield, symbolizing Light against Darkness, Day against Night, Freedom against Slavery, humanity against the gods.

With a gash in his stomach, Alucard spat out blood.

Queen Andromeda, with several cuts on her legs and stomach, knelt down, leaning on her sword. She was shaking, unable to stand. "My legs, damn it... It will take time to recover..." she thought, seeing Alucard in front of him.

Unleashing his wings of black flames, Alucard instantly regenerated and looked at the queen with wide eyes and rosy cheeks. – You're a woman... – he said as if coming to a realization.

Leaning on her sword, Andromeda breathed heavily. – And then? Any problem? – she asked, with a furrowed brow and sweat running down her forehead.

Alucard smiled. – Your way of handling the sword is like a dance. I may be the son of who I am, but I am still a gentleman... If we weren't enemies, I would ask you to marry me. You're very interesting... – said the prince.

Andromeda, her face red with embarrassment, stood up and looked at him. – Stop talking! – she demanded, retreating slightly.

Alucard laughed at her reaction. – Are you wondering about the black flames in the shape of wings on my back? The flames are courtesy of Dracula, and the wings of Persephone, a Phoenix... – the son of the strongest man in the world revealed.

With sword in hand, Andromeda positioned herself offensively. – You're strange, flirting with your enemy... – she said, staring at the prince.

– I said I liked you, didn't I? I was giving you time to regenerate... – he said, pointing his sword at her body.

With veins on her face, Andromeda moved forward.

…

In the meeting room of the Assembly of the Gods, Alucard's appearance caught the attention of the Olympians. It was unheard of; Alucard was growing as strong as his father.

Nyx, seeing Alucard's dark flames and wings, thought, "Those flames... Did this kid inherit that?! ... Not possible..." she sweated, her leg restless.

Looking at the battlefield indifferently, Athena thought, "I just hope he hasn't inherited the Necromancy skill, otherwise he'll have inherited an infinite army..." A drop of sweat ran down her forehead.

"Interesting, if Yuwen didn't exist, I would choose you, Alucard, the prince of monsters..." Aphrodite thought, looking up and down at Alucard with her eyes shaped like hearts.

Dracula/Hades Olympus, sitting with a soft smile, whispered in Andromeda's ear. [Do you know your daughter is dead right now? And soon your child will be too...] his eyes sparkled, feeding on Andromeda's fear.

…

On the battlefield, the menacing voice of Hades penetrated Andromeda's thoughts. [Do you know your daughter is dead right now? And soon your child will be too...]

In the air, about to slit Alucard's throat, Andromeda heard Hades' whisper. –Uh...? – She let the words enter her heart, and the fear they brought set in.

"Fear Inducement. Hades has installed fear in her heart; I can smell the scent of dread..." Alucard thought. At high speed, he used his flaming black sword to block her blow, throwing her away. – Father, you don't need to help me, I can handle her! She's the one I choose after all... – he grunted, veins on his face.

Kneeling on the ground, Andromeda began to panic and slowly lost her breath. She put her hands on her head and looked around desperately. – Allana... Allana... M-My girl, and... She's... – her voice trembled, and sobs began to accompany her tears.

Seeing Andromeda kneeling on the ground in panic, Alucard sighed and put away his sword. – I can't kill someone in this state... Especially you, woman. I liked you. – he said, with a soft smile.

At that same moment, Alucard heard several voices in his ear. It was the voice of the gods, and they were furious. – KILL HER, NOW!!!

Fear penetrated Alucard's heart; no one defied the voice of the gods and lived. The prince's body moved towards Andromeda involuntarily; it was Hades controlling his body. – Forgive me, woman... – Alucard whispered.

In his camp, Arthur looked at the kings. – When his fury reaches its peak, the weather itself will inform us... – Speaking, he looked at the cloudy sky. – It's just cloudy now, but a shower of thunder will start when Zeus gets angry...

– In that moment, I'm going to join the battle to deal with Zeus and Poseidon and the rest... I will probably die in the process, but... – Arthur continued, looking at Qin-Shi.

In the Union camp, Zeus looked at Alucard with a soft smile and his hands behind him and whispered in his ear. [Take off her mask!]

…

On the battlefield, Alucard's hand squeezed Andromeda's neck, sucking her life force and absorbed her inner Qi. – Let me go... Let... Me go... He'll kill everyone if you hurt me... – kneeling on the ground, Andromeda whispered with tears and a red face.

Alucard, looking at her, with his hand on her neck, thought. "This woman..." His expression turned melancholy. – Woman, I want to see your face before you die. I will cherish the image forever! – he said, removing her mask.

Trying to take his hand away, she kicked his stomach, but his hand squeezed her neck tightly and her skin began to age. – Let me go! I-If... You feel for your soldiers... Let me go! I don't know why he... Hasn't done anything yet, but he will... – whispering in a trembling voice, tears fell down her face. – Son, forgive them...

– YOU?! – Alucard exclaimed, seeing her wavy and elegant brown hair, her clear and welcoming amber eyes, her soft and gentle yet mature and well-defined face, her thin nose, her full and rosy lips, her tanned skin. She was beautiful. Alucard blushed at the sight of her.
