Chapter 34 - Dracula Vs Kamen….and Vestis’ Take Over.

As we walk out of the dining area we notice we're surrounded by knights and gargoyles. Dracula and Toriko can be seen on the top of the stairs. "Vlad stop this please! Kamen did nothing wrong!" Toriko pleads with the man.

"Can't you see, that man is trying to put a wedge between the vampires and I. You'll understand eventually that this was the right call." Vlad said. I look up to Vlad and yell out. "I never did a single thing to you! You're exactly what I thought you'd be! A coward!"

Vlad waves his hand. "Kill them." As soon as his said that. The knights and gargoyles move in to attack. I feel the darkness welling up inside. Anger bursting from the seams. I yell out. "I will not let you harm anyone here you bastard!" My body is consumed in darkness. I disappear into the darkness and appear next to a knight and pick it up by the head and slam it into a gargoyle shattering both of them.

I look up at Vlad. "You'll regret this Vlad, I promise you that." Disappearing back and forth, Vlad sees his monsters and knights fall one by one. Suddenly I appear in front of him and throw my fist out at him. He catches it and throws me across the castle through stone walls. I land outside of the castle onto the ground. It starts raining. Vlad appears outside the castle and suddenly all of the gargoyles on the castle come to life and attack me.

One by one I dodge and counter their attacks, destroying them and swallowing them up into the darkness. Vlad snaps his fingers again and suddenly the ground starts to shake. A hand pops out of the ground and grabs my ankle and tries to pull me under. I kick the hand away and move back. All around me skeletons come out of the ground. Their bones clack when they move. The skeletons screech in unison and rush me.

"Damn it, there's too many." I think to myself as I see Ruby come jumping off of the castle casting a spell and covering her fist in bloody earth and slams into the ground. The shockwave from the attack sends the skeletons to the ground and they break apart. Ruby looks at me with a serious glare. "Where you go I go Master." I nod my head and look as the skeletons start re attaching themselves and getting off the ground.

I look at Ruby. "Go to the others and get them out of here!" She looks at me and shakes her head no. "I will not leave you Master!" Frustrated I yell at her. "You being here is not helping Ruby. You need to leave with the others. That is an order!" As I say that my eyes shine red and Ruby obeys and runs to find the others before turning her head at me with a sad look.

I look up at Vlad. "So this is all you got Vlad? Where's the infamous Impaler I heard so much about?" I say taunting him. He glares at me. "You will soon find out if you can survive boy." He waves his hand and soon a dark figure can be seen hovering above castle.

"It's a fucking dragon!" I yell out ignoring the skeletons as one stabs me through the chest with a sword. I turn to the skeleton and grab its skull and crush it. I focus the light into my fists and imbue it with fire, and lightning and slam into the ground creating a shock-wave that can be felt through out the land. Jenny and the others see Ruby running towards them and yell out. "Where is Kamen?!" Jenny looks around and doesn't seem him anywhere. "Did something happen to him?!" Jenny asks freaking out as fire can be seen flowing around her like an aura.

Ruby looks at her and explains. "Master said to get everyone away from here while he deals with the monsters and Vlad." Elizabeth looks at Ruby in shock. "He's fighting Vlad alone?! Damn it Ruby! Why would you leave him alone?!" She asks as she feels her anger boil up. She starts running back to where Kamen was. Ruby appears in front of her again. "I'm sorry, Master said that no one is to help him. We need to leave." Ruby insists.

"If you do not move out of the way I will force you to." Elizabeth says with a hint of anger in her tone as the area around them suffers an aftershock. Everyone falls to the ground. Jenny gets up off of the ground and starts running towards Kamen. Ruby again stops them. Having enough, Jenny hits Ruby. Ruby barely moves. " I will not let you jeopardize my Master while he fights." Jenny snaps. "DAMN IT RUBY, CAN'T YOU SEE WE'RE TRYING TO HELP HIM!!!" The flame around Jenny grows in intensity and she focuses fire into her fist and slams Ruby into the ground.

Running past her the group get outside.

Everyone looks up. "Oh my god no. KAMEN!!!" Jenny yells out crying. Vlad is holding Kamen by his neck and snaps it. Letting his body fall, Jenny runs over to Kamens side. "Kamen, please wake up. I need you here. Please, everyone needs you. I love you Kamen. I want you to be with me forever. You said you would protect me and be with me." She says tears rolling down her eyes.

"I'm sorry to say, but your 'boyfriend' wasn't enough, and looking at you all. You're clearly not enough either." Vlad says laughing maniacally. Alistair looks up. "You may have once been my father, but now you are no longer. You will pay for hurting him!" Alistair jumps and attempts to attack Vlad.

Vlad swipes his hand and Alistair is sent to the ground with a force that shook the ground around him. Seeing this everyone runs to Alistair's side. Feeling their rage boil, they all attack Vlad at the sametime. Vlad scoffs before disappearing and reappearing behind everyone and slams them into the ground and knocking them out. Seeing this Jenny swallows her saliva. "I will not let you hurt Kamen anymore. I'll protect him no matter what, even if it costs me my life." She says and she sends fire towards Vlad and he deflects it.

"Why don't you understand, that man cannot help you. You are all doomed." Vlad says as he turns around and sees everyone getting up. "Why don't you understand Vlad, that with Kamen anything is possible." Elizabeth says.

"I hear something, I can't make it out. But it seems like someone is calling for me." I say outloud as I stand in a room full of darkness. A figure appears, it's Vestis. He looks at me with a disappointed look. "I cannot believe you would let this happen Kamen. You're down on the ground unconscious and your friends are fighting your battle for you." He says walking around me in a circle.

"What can I do against Vlad? He's too powerful." I say to Vestis. He laughs. "You can give up control of your body and let me have a go at him." I look at him with disgust. "I can't let you do that Vestis. I vowed to never let you take over for the safety of my friends and now family." I say.

Vestis swipes his hand and a window appears. "These friends?" I walk up to the window and see Vlad beating everyone. One by one he's hurting them. I see Jenny standing above me protecting me from the skeletons, she's not doing good. "Damn it, why can't I do anything to protect her?!" I say out-loud as my anger and rage is boiling at the surface ready to break out. "I feel so useless. So, unimportant, like I could disappear. It was because of them that I got this far. I....Will....Not.....Let....Them.....die....." I say as the ground suddenly shakes, the pressure that is around everyone makes them freeze. The sky slowly darkens to a blackness that no one has ever seen. The dirt around them slowly starts to rise up, then suddenly everyone feels this feeling of fear, like a monster is looking at them.

The turn around and see a figure enveloped in total darkness carrying a black sword with red veins, their presence is suppressive and it feels like it could take their life in a split second. "What are you?" Vlad says squinting his eyes.

"I am the eternal darkness that will swallow light whole, I am the being that will bring catastrophe to the world. I am the slayer of gods. My name is...Vestis..." The figure says. Nobody can believe what they heard. "Did he say Vestis? Did he finally take over? Did Kamen lose?" Jenny said outloud. Elizabeth looks at her. "I don't know but we need to get out of here before one of them kills us." She says in a panic.

The figure looks down at them. "Kamen has requested I spare you. As long as you stay away from this fight, I will only tolerate so much. If you do not obey I will eat you whole." The figure says and it suddenly disappears and appears behind Vlad.

Sensing him Vlad tries to turn around and attack but fails and misses. "How are you in this form?! Answer me!" Vlad roars out. Vestis laughs. "I don't have to tell you anything Vlad. You have shown your true colors and have been deemed unworthy of the crown. I think I'll take it from you....with force." Vestis says before grabbing Vlad by the head and slamming him into the ground and piercing the sword into his shoulder. "How does it feel to be powerless Vlad? Knowing that the person you looked down on and tried to kill will the one to take your life?" Vestis says smiling.

"I doubt very much that you will be able to kill me Vestis." Vlad says as he grabs the blade and slowly pulls it out of his shoulder. Vestis grunts trying to hold the blade down in Vlad. He finally gets the blade free and the blade goes into the ground and splits it creating a hole 3 meters wide. Vlad gets up off the ground and commands the dragon to attack.

The dragon looks down upon Vestis and flies down and swallows him whole. Vlad chuckles "That wasn't so har-" Vlad stops when he notices the dragon stopped moving. Suddenly the dragon is sucked into itself and swallowed in a black void.

"Today really isn't your day now is it Vlad?" Vestis asks as he opens his mouth and dragon fire comes out. Vlad moves out of the way, his cape caught on fire, he rips it off and slams it on the ground. Vestis laughs. "You're going to regret trying to hurt Kamen and I." Vestis says as he disappears and appears behind Vlad punching him in the back of the head sending him flying through out the castle breaking pillars along the way.

Vestis holds his hands out and the castle is swallowed whole in darkness and disappears. "HAHHAHAHA YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE ENOUGH VLAD." Vestis yells out laughing. Vlad slowly gets up and slowly feels the overwhelming pressure loom down over him. His body feels tight and heavy. "I can't believe you're making me do this. No one has made me do this in a very long time." Vlad says as he body is covered in black and suddenly reappears in his Impalers armor. Red scales go up and down his armor with a red mask with ears on it like a dragons.

Vlad roars out his dark power leaks out mixed with blood. "You will fall today Vestis." Vlad says as he attacks Vestis.

Vestis laughs. "You'll have to do more than that old man." Vestis says as he sends a darkened blood swipe towards Vlad.

As soon as the darkened blood swipe hits Vlad, it's absorbed into his armor. His armor glows red and Vlad begins to laugh. "Who do you think I am Vestis. I drank the blood of my enemies. I had them impaled in my kitchen and outside my castle. I am the king of the vampires!" Vlad roars out in a fit of rage before attacking Vestis with his own blood swipe. Vestis goes to block the attack and gets knocked to the ground.

"What the fuck? How did that hurt me?" Vestis thinks outloud. Vlad laughs. "Your blood powers come directly from my bloodline, you think I couldn't use it against you?" Vlad says as he strikes down onto Vestis, but before he can. A light suddenly appears blinding everyone. A figure appears out of the light.

"Lumen...." Vestis says looking at him.
