Chapter 6 - I Have Decided

I walked forward and cracked my neck then dashed toward Ivory and Altro. I look kicked Ivory away and launched blades of ruinous energy at Altro. He blocked them and ran toward me, but Lilith knocked him away with a beam of light.

Altro dashed toward me and noticed my wings disappear. I dodged his slash then hit him with a sweep kick then kneed his jaw, using my supernatural strength to knock him away. He rolled along the ground and grunted.

"You should've left while you had the chance.." I said and held my arms out then I manifested my black tentacles. "I gave you...a chance.."

Altro noticed the bloodlust in my eyes and grunted. "I don't need your sympathy..!"

I stared at Altro and noticed Lilith walking forward. Lilith smirked and ran toward Altro. She moved at lightspeeds and kicked him away then I used my tentacles to propel myself toward Altro. He fired multiple bullets at me, but I used my tentacles to deflect them.

'What is that..? Is that made from his body..?' Altro thought to himself and dodged Lilith's strike.

Lilith laughed as she rushed around Altro and taunted him. "You Hunters say beings like us deserve to die, but I say the opposite! YOU deserve to die! Humans are fine, but you Hunters must die!"

Altro blocked another strike and grunted, hearing one of his bones crack. He pushed her away and clashed with her then clashed once again. He dodged her next attack then groaned as one of my tentacles smacked him away.

Altro crashed into a building and fell to the ground. He groaned softly and coughed. He got up and softly grunted. "Hunters are why the Earth is saved...Monsters like you only ruin our world! You only...destroy it which is why we must destroy you!"

Altro dashed toward us once again and his eyes shined brightly as he became activated.

Ivory dodged Alice and slashed at her with her katana, but Astaroth made a cross of darkness crash down and protect Alice. She fired multiple beams of light at Astaroth, but he only absorbed it and grew stronger.

"Unfortunately, Light doesn't work on me!" Astaroth bellowed and kicked Ivory away.

She groaned as she rolled backwards then Alice appeared behind Ivory then knocked her upwards. She flew upwards and kicked Ivory back to the ground, but a digital hand caught her and gently placed Ivory down.

"You should've listened to Ryan while you had the chance~ Now you must suffer..~" Alice chuckled and landed on the ground.

She dodged a beam of light and her eyes widened when a digital hand struck her face and knocked Alice away. Alice spread her wings and stopped herself. Ivory dashed forward and slashed at Alice, but Alice used her wing to block the attack. She pushed Ivory back and scattered into bats then began to swarm Ivory.

"Ryan still wanted to run back to you! Even after everything, he wanted to run back into your life and this is how you treat him?!" Alice yelled and reformed in front of Ivory then launched her away with a kick.

Ivory crashed into a car and fell to the ground. She coughed a bit of blood and slowly got up. She panted softly and shook her head. "It's our code...to eliminate ALL monsters...the fact that you all exist here is wrong! You took someone I loved on the inside away from me!"

Alice smirked and crossed her arms. "He came to us..~ As far as we know, he has no lovers aside from me and my sister who claimed him as ours~"

"You'll pay for what you've done!" Ivory yelled and activated her weapons to 100%.

Alice was about to dash toward Ivory, but was sniped on her leg with a Holy Bullet. She screamed in pain as she fell on the ground.

Lilith looked back and gasped. "Alice!"

She rushed toward Alice then was sniped on her leg as well with an Alchemy Bullet. She groaned loudly and fell on the ground as well.

I looked over and noticed Wayne and Trixie walking forward. My eyes widened and I turned to fully look at them. "Commanders..."

"It's time to get this party started!~" Trixie giggled and holstered her pistol and her bionic eye stopped shining. She grabbed the handle of her whip sword that was around her waist then unwrapped the sword from her waist.

Wayne rushed forward and was intercepted by Astaroth. The two clashed fists then Wayne blocked the second punch from Astaroth and countered with a powerful body shot. Astaroth groaned and coughed. Wayne grappled him, but Astaroth scattered into a swarm of bats and reformed away from Wayne.

"There's no getting away!" Trixie laughed and slashed at Astaroth.

The blade of the sword extended toward Astaroth, but a flame barrier blocked the slash. I noticed Sun landing next to Astaroth.

"Pathetic humans. The Azure Host Agency...You won the fight the last time, but this time...we will have you bowing down to us!" Sun bellowed and his fire wings emerged from his back.

"Let me handle this hothead~" Trixie said and walked toward Sun.

Wayne spotted me and walked over to me. "It's alright Altro. I'll take it from here."

Altro retreated and helped Ivory retreat as well. Astaroth helped Alice and Lilith get to a safe place to heal them.

"Ghouls. One of my favorite Monsters to take down and kill. There was an Organization of Ghouls I killed alone called the Shining Beasts. Their Tendrils were able to shape into many things...it was interesting. Their Tendrils are organic. The Shining Beasts are the rarest form of Ghouls.." Wayne said and summoned his spear.

"I studied upon your kind. You have a fatal weakness. Your brain. Once I decapitate you, your life is over!" Wayne bellowed and dashed toward me.

Wayne slashed at me and I used my tendrils to block his attack then pushed him back. My tendrils formed together to make a singular tail and made the tip of my tail into a blade. I thrusted my bladed tail at Wayne rapidly, but he blocked each strike then sliced a chunk of my tail off.

I jumped backwards and my tail grew back to normal and split into four tendrils then I grunted and held my head. "Blood..."

Wayne watched me and readied his spear. "Hmph. Monsters like you in specific...need blood and flesh to survive. That's why killing you is for your own good!"

"I need...blood.." I said and looked at Wayne with bloodlust. I grunted and yelled as I held my head. My ruinous energy surged powerfully around my body as I craved for blood.

'Usually monsters like him...should grow weaker without having a substantial amount of blood and flesh in their system...but he's growing stronger. Wait he's not hungry...He—'

Wayne groaned and coughed blood as one of my tendrils impaled his stomach. I yelled and flung him away. Wayne crashed into a car and quickly dodged my next tendril.

'He is in a Feral...Bloodlust State. He's never hungry, he just wants to kill..!' Wayne thought to himself.

"Trixie! We have a Berserker on our hands!" Wayne called out.

Trixie dodged Sun's strikes then grunted as she was kicked and blown away. She recovered off one hand then jumped back. "I can see that, but my hands are kinda full at the moment!"

"Kill...Kill and eat! The more you eat flesh...the more you kill the stronger you become!" My other side said and laughed.

I held my head and groaned loudly. I panted as the voice of my Monster Side laughed. I couldn't control him then I felt something hit my head. I opened my eyes and noticed a Blood Candy on the ground.

"You're quite annoying...You grow stronger when you're Bloodthirsty, I've noticed...but if you don't want to lose yourself, learn to control your Monster!" Sun yelled.

I picked up the candy and quickly ate it. I calmed down and was able to think more clearly. I stood up straight and sighed softly. "Thank you.."

Wayne looked at me and finished healing himself. He got ready to fight again then dashed toward me. "Controlled or not, you must die!"

I dodged his first strike and wrapped one of my tendrils around his leg then spun him around then slammed him to the ground. I bellowed as I dragged him alone the ground then threw him. "It will be you who will die!"

Wayne recovered in the air and landed on the ground then propeller himself toward me then slashed. I blocked his slash then turned my tendrils into blades then rapidly slashed at him. We clashed rapidly then he dodged my next strike and stabbed my stomach and slashed horizontally. He twirled his spear and slit my throat, watching blood spray from my neck.

I fell back then my other side grabbed my shirt and raised me back up. My eyes opened again and golden veins formed around my eyes. My wounds immediately healed and I launched my tendrils at Wayne. He was caught off guard and groaned as two of my tendrils went through his thigh and shoulder.

'How..?! How is he still alive?!' Wayne through to himself.

I retracted my tendrils and they disappeared then wings formed on my back. I flew upwards and spread my wings then fired waves of ruinous energy blades at Wayne. Wayne ran off to avoid the blades then noticed I had propelled myself toward him.

I manifested two tendrils and clashed with Wayne once more. I kicked off him and launched one of my tendrils at him, but he blocked it. I landed on the ground and panted softly.

Wayne panted as well and grunted as his arm began to feel numb. 'That fucker...destroyed some of my nerves...'

"All units retreat!" Wayne said and retreated.

Trixie dodged a large fireball by ducking then looked up. She noticed her hair antenna was on fire and she frantically pat it to put it out then sighed. "Hmph! This isn't over!"

Sun and I watched as the Azure Host Agency retreated. We looked at each other then Sun smirked and walked off.

"Hmph. I guess you're valid in my eyes." Sun said as he walked off with his hands in his pockets.

I looked at my hands then looked at my tendrils. "My body was like in autopilot mode while I was fighting. I've never moved so freely in combat before."

"You can thank me for that, Human. I am a Shining Beast and the last of my kind. Let's just say our bodies are destroyed, but our Souls remained to inhabit other beings. I have years of Combat Experience and we are the same person so whatever experience I have goes to you automatically." My other side said.

"I see..." I said then lowered my hands and my tendrils disappeared. I hurried into the building to check up on Alice and Lilith.

"Ow..! Ow ow ow! Stop!" Alice cried out as Astaroth tried to extract the bullet.

"I don't know what you want...I don't understand how you're still feeling pain after I numbed your leg like a million times already." Astaroth said.

"It's a freaking HOLY BULLET! News flash, I am not immune to Holy Weaponry like you and Lilith are! It BURNS!" Alice whined and noticed the door opening. "Ryan!"

"Ryan—Nngh!!" Lilith started then grunted as her leg was hurting.

"Don't move! You need to rest! I gave you Coco and Scout respectively so use them as support animals!" Astaroth said.

"It's alright, Astaroth. I'll take it from here." I said.

"You sure? Alice is a big complainer." Astaroth said.

"Watch." I said and conjured a tendril and turned the tip of my tendril into claws. I used the claws of my tendril to extract the bullet.

"Ow! Ho—NNGH!!!" Alice cried out and bit down on her pillow.

I looked at the bullet and dropped it into my hand. I took a cloth and began to wrap it around her leg. "There you can stop crying now."

"I hate you! I hate you!" Alice cried out into her pillow.

Lilith smiled and looked at me. "You were amazing out there earlier and you even managed to amaze Sun. Most guys barely get his his respect."

I smiled and sat on the edge of the bed. I sighed softly and looked at the ground. "I'm glad you two decided to fight Altro and Ivory...I couldn't do it myself, but from here...I want to make things official."

"What do you mean?" Alice asked as she sat up.

I looked at both of them and noticed Astaroth leaving the room. He pat my shoulder and smiled. Lilith and Alice watched him leave as well.

"I want to be with you two...and kill the Hunters. I am only going to kill the Hunters. I can't allow us to harm the innocent humans that roam about. I'm sure they are going to be moving bases, so we have to go back to New Mulai and find their new base." I said.

"You're fighting on the behalf of the Alucard Bloodline?!" Lilith asked excitedly.

I nodded then grunted as Lilith hugged me happily. It was almost like she had forgotten about the pain in her leg.

"I'm so happy right now, I can't even find a clear way to express it!" Lilith said.

Alice smiled and placed her hand on the bed. "How about we make things truly official then?"

Lilith sat back and nodded. "Yes please that way our bond can never break!~"

"How do we make things official?" I asked.

Alice and Lilith pointed at their lips. I looked at them then chuckled softly. I leaned toward Lilith and kissed her lips. She kissed back and gently bit my bottom lip. She tugged my shirt and nearly pulled me on top of her.

"M-Mmph.." I grunted and pulled away. "For someone who's more innocent that Alice...you're wildly sexual.."

Lilith smiled at me and bit her lip. "I can't help it sometimes...it's in my nature as well as Alice's..~"

I stood up and smiled then walked over to Alice's side of the bed then leaned down toward her. "Your turn..~"

"Don't say it like that.." Alice said softly, blushing.

I held her cheek and placed my forehead against hers. "I also want to say I'm sorry for what I've been doing to you today...It was just in the moment.."

"I know.." Alice whispered.

I kissed her lips and she kissed back. She too bit my bottom lip and I pulled away. She smirked and licked her lips. I pushed her head back then walked over to the other bed then Coco and Scout got off their bed to come over to mine.

"Well fuck you two as well!" Alice said, smiling.

Lilith giggled and laid down. "Good night!~"

"Good night..~" I said and smiled.

"Shining Beasts...A Type of Ghoul who has power beyond belief. I can't believe that's what Ryan is now. Now we have to live with the fact that he's our enemy now.." Altro said.

Ivory stared out the window and closed her eyes. Tears ran down her cheeks and she sniffled. "Yeah..."

Altro looked at Ivory then held her hand. "We will free him of his curse...I can promise that.."

Ivory nodded and sniffled again. She was destroyed on the inside just as Altro was. "We will..."
