Chapter 44 - General meet and greet with a King

Krishna just turned around and went back to the mansion since here everyone was just crazy and he was getting irritated seeing that smile on Annasthashia's face.

Soon Victor was brought back and Krishna used Various healing spells on him but the damage done was on the soul which meant Krishna could not do anything about it yet.

After this Annasthashia spent most of her time either roaming around getting to know the current affairs or with Sasha trying to bond with her.

Krishna was irritated with her so he decided to avoid her all together.

On the second day's evening, Annasthashia was Talking to Scathach,"Why should I meet and try to make up with someone who was not even part of my family months ago."

"Because he is the one who saved Julia's life."

"Julia is alive!! where why is she not with Sasha!?"

"After he saved her he kept her as his maid and Sasha agreed since Krishna had saved her life and Julia too wanted to repay the one who saved her life."

"But...."

"You are not someone who can question their decision... all you can do is thank him for helping your daughter and if he approves of you Victor will as well see you in a good light but if he disapproves of you even if Victor sees you change he will not touch you.....Krishna and Victor are more like Brothers than actual brothers."

"He seemed angrier at me than Victor and Sasha themselves."

"hahahahah of course he is Julia must have told him about various other stuff that even Sasha did not know about. If you do decide to go talk to him he should be at the roof ... even I don't know why he likes to stay alone so much"

Annasthashia thinks about it for a minute then proceeds to go to the roof where Krishna had laid down on a mana made beach chair. It seemed like he was relaxing but he was creating a Spatial spell that no one can block.

"Ahem" Natashia (which is short for Annasthashia).

Krishna looks at her and his face immediately becomes one of disgust.

"Did Scathach tell you to come..... you need not worry my opinion of you will not affect Victor's decision so if you were worried about that, no need."

"..... why do you hate me so much?"

"Hate??? I can not even give two fucks about you Natashia. Do you know what kind of parents I hate the most... the one who give birth and then just fucks around with the child... you went above and beyond that you tortured your own child FOR AMUSEMENT!!"

The whole mansion shook as Krishna's voice echoed throughout the mansion.

sigh

"Look my anger is something you are not responsible for...while Victor may say that what your other personality did was your fault as well ..... to me it's not since I don't know what caused you to have that personality only you know that so I cannot judge why you had created such a personality and why was she in command and not you. I see your face and just anger emerges from my heart yet I cannot shout... when I say that Sasha is my little sister .... I mean it when soever I declare a person as my family member from that moment on I am ready to fight the world for them....My little sister Cried in front of my face yet I did not do anything just because I wanted Victor to do it so that he get used to his power.....I am ashamed of myself for this. This is why I avoid you Natashia. I am just a schemer who wishes his whole family to stay alive and well."

Natashia just smiled and bowed a little in Gratitude which Krishna did not look at but he knew due to his divine sense.

A floor below them Scathach was just standing and smiling while hearing her Disciple,"Once again you overthink way too much... I really speak to him about that."

In a separate room, Violet, Ruby, Kaguya, Yuki, Luna, and Maria were present.

Violet and Ruby appeared to be playing the cursed game that can end friendships. Uno.

They were talking about Victor and Sasha when.

Ruby looked around, "Where's Natalia?"

"Oh, she said she went to a gym in the human world," Maria spoke.

"Eh? Why?"

"She's upset that we keep saying she's fat," Luna spoke.

"But she's not fat, she just has a flabby stomach," Ruby commented.

"Shh, don't comment too much, Ruby. Being a human woman is hard, you know?" Violet commented, "At least that's what I've heard, but it's not something I care about."

"... Well, as an ex-human, I can say that human women suffer to keep in good shape," Maria spoke.

"The world is not fair," Ruby spoke.

"The world was never fair," Violet continued.

"Indeed," Maria nodded.

"What about Krishna then?" Maria asked

"Krishna is for Humans what Victor is for Vampires.....an exception to common sense," Ruby said as she placed her next card

"Didn't he say his blood practically empowers any human who receives it and gives them a perfect physic" Violet said

"Yes and he also gave this choice to Natalia but his condition is joining his family which would mean she would have to give up the name Alioth and take the Godkill name which is a pretty big decision. Not something to be done just to maintain good Figure."Ruby replied

Then there was booming voice heard by everyone,"KRISHNA VICTOR COME OUT HERE NOW!"

"That was Scathach right ....she seems angry" Violet said as she got up to go where her darling would be.

***************

The king of all vampires, the Progenitor, the strongest creature on Earth, the being that has walked the Earth for over 5000 years, the king of immortal creatures, the true immortal. He has many titles that beings have given him, he has many forms, and few people have seen his true form.

As the Progenitor, all vampires came from him. He is the beginning of everything, the strongest vampire in existence.

The creature that even hunters don't dare fight if they do not have all the generals together, and even if it brought together all the generals and pope to fight this monster, the chances of killing it was almost nil.

In fact, people wonder if it's possible to kill this man... Wrong, this monster.

In his lifetime, he had many names that he gave himself over the millennia. As a creature that outlives all other beings, he saw no need to have only one name in his long existence.

But that all changed the day he met a certain man, and while interacting with that man for a while, the strongest creature alive finally decided to choose a name for himself.

Vlad Tepes, King of the Vampires... And that's how he's been known till this day.

And this man, this king, was calling... Wrong, he ordered certain men to come to his castle today.

In a ridiculously large castle that looks like it was made millennia ago, two men and a woman were walking toward the king's throne room.

"Victor, don't attack the princes, And Krishna don't look at the princesses." Scathach ordered him.

"Yes yes I will not look at the Princesses calm down Master~", Krishna replies as he smiles at his master.

Scathach looked straight ahead and assumed an annoyed expression. She clearly wasn't enjoying being in this place, though the reason she wasn't enjoying it was...

'I need to keep the princesses away from him…'

Vlad Tepes has seven children he sired with several different women. He has four sons and three daughters, all of which were present today in response to their father's call.

"It's rare for Father to call upon all of us to gather together like this…" Lucas Tepes, the second prince, spoke.

"…" Saul Tepes, the third prince, looked at his father, who was sitting on his throne. 'Why did he call us? He only does this when he wants to show us something...'

"Silence, Lucas." Theo Tepes, the first prince, ordered. He was the eldest of the king's sons.

"Tsk, don't boss me around." Lucas clicked his tongue and glared at his brother, with his eyes glowing blood red.

"Are you planning to fight? In the presence of our father?" Adam Tepes, the fourth prince, asked. Despite being the youngest son, he was the wisest of the four princes.

"..." Lucas was silent and quickly calmed down.

All princes were over 1000 years old except for the fourth prince, who was the youngest.

The first prince, Theo Tepes, is 3000 years old and one of the eldest vampires.

Next, we have the second prince, Lucas Tepes, who is 2000 years old.

Then there is the third prince, Saul Tepes, who is 1000 years old.

And the fourth prince, Adam Tepes, who is the youngest of the brothers and has just reached adulthood. He is 500 years old.

"Princes, please maintain the appearance expected of royalty." Suddenly, they heard the voice of a man standing beside the king. The man had bright golden hair and was wearing an immaculate white suit.

Interestingly, this man kept his eyes closed as he 'looked' towards the princes.

This man's name was Alexios Alioth, the right hand of Vlad Tepes and also the father of Natalia Alioth.

Interestingly, the trusted right hand of the king of all vampires was a human.

"...Yes, Alex." The three princes, except the first prince, spoke at the same time.

"Well... That's not a good sign." Elizabeth, the second princess who was beside her brothers, said. She was very nervous. This was the first time she had seen her brothers all together.

"..." Ophis, the third princess, ignored everything and looked at her father, who was sitting on his throne. 'Father...' She wanted to go towards him but was too scared to do so.

After all, her father never paid attention to her...

"Snif..." Unconsciously, small tears threatened to fall from her face, but she was a strong girl. She wouldn't cry about it! She was used to it...

Quickly, she wiped her eyes and looked away and decided to ignore everything.

"Boring... I thought something interesting was going to happen, but nothing happened. Maybe I'll go back to sleep..." Muttered a woman with long black hair like pure darkness that flowed to the ground. She had violet eyes and a sinful body that looked like she was the offspring of a succubus.

She was Elizabeth's older sister, and as perceived by the woman's appearance, seeing as she was nearly identical to Elizabeth herself, it was obvious that they shared the same mother as well.

This woman's name was Lilith Tepes.

"Countess Scathach Scarlett and her disciples Krishna Godkill and Victor Walker have arrived!" They heard an announcement.

"W-Wh-" Elizabeth didn't know what to think. 'He's coming here!? That crazy man!?'

"..." Ophis looked at the door with her eyes glowing blood red; 'Father...'

"Oh...?" Seeing her sisters' reaction, Lilith was a little interested.

"S-Scathach…" The third and fourth princes stuttered at the same time.

"That monster... Is she coming?" The second prince spoke as his body seemed to be shaking a little.

"Disciples?" The first prince spoke in a low voice.

Soon, everyone could hear footsteps, and a woman with long red hair accompanied by two tall men was seen.

One man had a big smile on his face that showed all of his sharp teeth. His eyes were blood red, and he was just staring at one specific place. He was ignoring everything and everyone.

The other man had a smiling face as he walked without any unnecessary movements. He too was simply staring at one single spot not bothering with anyone else.

The princes looked at Victor and Krishna with curiosity, evaluating the new disciples of Scathach. After all, they know that woman does not accept teaching people who lack talent.

'Wait... Aren't they the men who fought in the arena?' The princes immediately recognized Victor.

'That vampire who has the three powers of the Counts and the only human who can use magic...' Lilith's eyes sparkled with curiosity.

Scathach stopped at a place far from the king along with her disciples and spoke without bowing or showing respect:

"Hey, old man. I brought them." She looked at the man who was sitting on the black throne with red accents. He seemed to have his eyes closed, and a shadow was hiding his face.

Everyone was used to Scathach's lack of respect, and they didn't dare question the woman. They didn't want to go through hell again.

The King opened his eyes and looked at Victor with his blood red eyes.

"!!!" Victor's whole body visibly shook, he could feel... He could feel it!

The king did nothing. He just looked at him. But with just that one look, he knew. That man... Wrong, that monster was powerful! Extremely powerful.

"Ahhh~, I knew it~... I knew it!" Victor ignored everyone and walked towards the king.

"This Idiot" Even though Krishna said this he too could feel the pressure coming off the Vampire king and he also started walking toward the king.

The king raised his eyebrow in amusement. Somehow this scene reminded him of something that happened in the past.

"…" The hall was silent. All that could be heard was the sound of Victor's footsteps approaching the king. No one could utter a word. The only thing that crossed the minds of the princes and princesses was, 'are these men crazy?! Do they have a death wish?!'

"Insolence! What do you think you are doing? Return to your position at once! To dare show such disrespect before His Majesty!" Two royal guards suddenly appeared and tried to stop Victor, but Victor just walked past the bodies of the guards as if the two guards didn't exist.

"H-Huh?"

"Alright out of the way this fight is way above your power level." Krishna just waved his hand and the two guards just flew towards the ceiling and got stuck to it as if taped with duct tape.

Both of them arrived in the place where the king's first son stood.

Suddenly, the king's eyes seemed to glow a little brighter.

And soon, the world around the two grew heavier.

Crack, Crack.

The ground around them began to crack.

"This is..."

"Father…" The second and third princes gulped.

At this point it was no longer to reach the kind now it was a fight between two brothers to see who fell first.

Both of them had a wild smile on their faces as they walked on with out stoping.

Victor used the lightning power to run while Krishna used mana to strengthen his muscles and ran.

The king lightly touched the throne with his finger.

And as if the scene repeated itself, an overwhelming pressure fell upon the two men.

Crack, Crack.

Victor stopped running. He was only a few feet away from the king.

Cough.

He coughed up blood on the floor.

Krishna also stopped right next to Victor, but he did not cough up blood.

'That smell…' Lilith's eyes glowed blood red.

And this scene seemed to be repeated by all the princes and princesses.

Seeing the blood on the ground, the king spoke for the first time, "I see..."

His voice made the atmosphere even more tense, as he ignored Victor and looked toward Scathach:

"Are you crazy?" His question seemed to contain several hidden meanings.

Scathach looked at the king and displayed a big, distorted smile that showed all her sharp teeth:

"... Pfft... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA~" Her laugh echoed throughout the castle.

Her laugh sent shivers through everyone who had ever fallen victim to this madwoman's clutches.

"And I still bothered to ask..." He closed his eyes slowly.

"..." A silence fell in the area. He seemed to be thinking about something.

"Very well, let's see if he's worthy..."

'Worthy? Worthy of what!?' That's what all the princes thought.

Making a decision, The King rose from his throne, and for the first time, Victor saw the man's entire body, unhidden by the shadow of his throne.

He was tall, roughly 210 CM tall, with pale skin, black hair slicked back, appearing as a thirty year old man in general... He looked like an ordinary salary man you could see anywhere.

Seeing Victor's shocked face, the king spoke in a voice that made everyone shiver:

"Shape and looks don't make any sense to me. I can be whatever I want, whenever I want." To prove what he said, his body began to be covered in blood, and soon a man wearing medieval black armor appeared in front of Victor.

"I can be a medieval king who fought thousands of wars." His voice was deep like an experienced warrior. Then his appearance changed again.

This time, a blond man with green eyes appeared, "I can be a holy warrior who fought for god, and was betrayed by him." Soon his body was covered in blood again.

And this time, the king has turned into someone he knows very well.

"F-Father?"

"Boy, I'm not your father, didn't you hear what I said?" The king's form changed again, and this time it was for his friend Andrew.

"...I see. You know my family, huh."

"I'm glad you understand fast." He spoke in a voice similar to Victor's friend.

"..." Scathach's expression wasn't pretty now. She looked up into the shadows. 'I made sure I blocked all information… Those annoying bugs…'

Krishna snapped his fingers and all the shadows on the ceiling just had their head popped into a blood which drooped to the floor.

"King of the Vampires please these kind of tactics I can play even better, do you wish to play?" Krishna said as he looked straight at the king.

The king raised his eye brow as he was now in the form of a average looking Human.

"Sir King do you control the whole Planet!" Krishna's smile grew maniacal as he looked straight at the king who had a complicated expression.

He looked at Scathach who was smiling and she just shrugged her shoulders,"Even I don't know how he got to know about that."

"Oh shut it I am trying to reach somewhere right now" Victor looked at Krishna.

"OK ok we can talk about all that later." Krishna said this and walked back to Scathach's side and stood there smiling but now that smile seemed sinister to everyone.
