"Who?" Dio's expression darkened as he regarded the newcomer with suspicion, his anger evident in his tone. He couldn't shake the feeling of unease caused by the man's piercing gaze. Meanwhile, Valerie couldn't contain her joy at seeing Alucard arrive just in time to save her. "Alucard" She exclaimed his name with relief, feeling a sense of safety wash over her in his presence. Despite wondering why it took him so long to arrive, she was overwhelmed with happiness at his arrival, pushing aside any lingering doubts or questions for the moment. "It's safe to assume this is over" She thought to herself while being bias and trustful to Alucard.
Alucard paid no mind to Dio's presence, instead directing his attention solely to Valerie, who was currently ensnared by vines. With a gentle smile gracing his lips, he posed a question to her, curious about her experience. "Did you find satisfaction in dispatching your father and brother?" His inquiry carried a mix of genuine curiosity and perhaps a hint of amusement, as if he already knew the answer but wanted to hear her perspective firsthand.
Despite her awkward predicament, Valerie responded with a blossoming smile, her expression belying the discomfort of her situation. "It was satisfying, but there's a lingering emptiness," she admitted, her voice tinged with a touch of melancholy, hinting at the conflicting emotions swirling within her. It was as though the euphoria of revenge had been replaced by a hollow feeling, leaving her emotionally adrift.
Alucard patted her head, understanding the complexity of her emotions. "Revenge often leaves behind a void" he remarked softly, his words carrying a weight of wisdom. "But it's what we choose to fill that void with that defines us." His tone was gentle, offering both empathy and guidance as Valerie grappled with the aftermath of her actions. "And lucky for you I have something to fill that void." he said with a smirk while wiggling his eyebrows like champ.
"What is..." she began to inquire, but her thoughts were derailed by the suggestive expression on Alucard's face. Suddenly, realization dawned on her, and her cheeks flushed with color. "Alucard! You pervert!!" she exclaimed, her voice laced with embarrassment as she caught on to his playful insinuation..
"Hey now! you're the one who thought of that, you lewd Dhampir" Alucard said in a teasing manner while smiling from ear to ear as he bop Valerie's nose. Her embarrassment shifted into playful indignation as she pouted, her cheeks still flushed with color. "Hey, I was just trying to understand what you meant!" she retorted, though her tone held a hint of amusement. She couldn't help but smile at Alucard's teasing before started thinking something lewd again and saying it "But if you want my..my body in exchange for helping then I..I don't mind" her face flush she wiggle her body while saying that even though she still in bind by the vine.
Alucard chuckled, thoroughly enjoying Valerie's reaction. "Let's talk about that later down the line" he reassured her, his tone light and teasing. "But in all seriousness, I do have something of a surprise back home for you" he added, his smirk softening into a genuine smile as he reached out to gently free her from the vines that bound her by flexing his error authority to high jack the control of the particular vines that binding Valerie.
Dio observed Alucard's actions, a sense of frustration gnawed at him. His attempts to exert control over the vines proved futile, leaving him perplexed and wary of Alucard's abilities. There was a subtle power at play, one that seemed to elude Dio's understanding, prompting him to delve deeper into the mystery surrounding this enigmatic vampire.
With a furrowed brow, Dio's gaze lingered on Alucard, his curiosity piqued by the prospect of unraveling the secrets behind his opponent's formidable powers. He remained vigilant, his mind racing with possibilities as he strategized his next move.
Alucard sighed as he looked at Valerie's worn Kuoh Academy uniform, a testament to the trials she had endured. With a flick of his wrist, he invoked his power over time, reversing the effects of wear and tear to restore her attire to its pristine state. A smile played at the corners of his lips as he gently placed a hand on her shoulder, his eyes reflecting a mixture of reassurance and mischief.
""Tell them Oreki says Hi" Alucard quipped with a grin, his hand resting gently on her shoulder. Before Valerie could even begin to question his cryptic message, he whisked her away with a teleportation spell, sending her to the ORC room where a surprise awaited her. With a sense of satisfaction, Alucard watched her departure, knowing that he had played a small part in bringing a moment of joy to her tumultuous existence
"You.." Dio pointed in anger at Alucard "Where did you bring her?!" he asked in angry tone as he flare up his divine aura to intimidate and make Alucard know his place in front of a divine being.
Alucard met Dio's accusing gaze with a calm demeanor, unfazed by the god's display of divine power. "Relax, Dude" he replied, his tone casual yet tinged with amusement. "And why are asking? You already heard all of it while we where talking." he added while pretending to be confused but his smirk is not helping his acting
Dio's aura pulsated with anger as he release more of his divine aura "Then you should not have interfere with out affairs" he insisted, his voice resonating with authority. "Return her right here, right now or face the consequences of your action."
"Dude why are so demanding" Alucard's retort was laced with his characteristic nonchalance, a smirk playing at the corner of his lips as he dismissed the other's demands. His eyes rolled in a gesture of clear disinterest, suggesting that he found the situation more tiresome than anything else. "And I don't even know who the hell you are to be that demanding" he added, his tone carrying a subtle hint of amusement as he refused to acknowledge any form of authority before him.
Dio's initial impulse was to unleash his fury upon the mortal who dared to show such blatant disrespect. However, he managed to rein in his temper, opting instead to assert his divine authority and introduce himself to the insolent figure before him. With a voice brimming with pride, he proclaimed his identity, making it clear that he was no ordinary mortal. "Carve this in your tiny brain, mortal" Dio declared, his tone dripping with superiority. "I'm Dio, or in your mortal knowledge, Dionysus, the God of Madness, Wine, and Vegetation, among other things."
As he spoke, Dio's expression conveyed his expectation of reverence and submission from Alucard, anticipating that the mortal would bow before his divine presence and beg for forgiveness. He awaited a reaction from Alucard, confident that the mere mention of his divine title would be enough to elicit the desired response.
Alucard regarded Dio with a quizzical expression, his glowing red eyes scrutinizing the self-proclaimed deity before him. However, instead of cowering in awe at Dio's grandiose introduction, Alucard responded with a dismissive chuckle. "Mr. D?" he echoed, his tone laced with sarcasm as he tilted his head to the side. "Nah, you really do look like a fake Dio, just as you claim" he remarked casually, a smirk playing at the corners of his lips as he shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.
Dio's confusion quickly turned to anger as Alucard continued to belittle him. "What nonsense are you talking about?" he demanded, his voice tinged with frustration. "I'm the real Dionysus, the son of the King of Olympus, and a Demigod ascended to godhood" he proclaimed vehemently, his divine aura radiating from his form with an intensity that matched the fury in his eyes.
"It does not matter" Alucard waved his hand dismissively, brushing off Dio's claims of divine heritage. "But man oh man, I thought Tsukoyomi would be my first god kill" he smirked, his expression tinged with amusement as he recalled his target. With a casual tone, he added, "But here you are, volunteering yourself for me to kill, earning me my first god kill." his words were delivered with a nonchalant confidence that belied the gravity of his claim. There was an air of certainty about him, as though the notion of killing a god was nothing more than a mundane task, akin to eating pie.
Dio's anger intensified at Alucard's dismissive attitude, his divine aura pulsating with his rising fury. "You dare mock a god?!" he thundered, his voice echoing with divine power as he glared daggers at Alucard. "You are nothing but a mere mortal, a speck in the grand scheme of the things. You will rue the day you crossed paths with me!"
Alucard's smirk only widened at Dio's outburst, his nonchalant demeanor remaining unchanged. "Ah, but you see, Dio" he replied casually, as if discussing the weather, "I've never been one to shy away from a challenge pftt. And taking down a god? Well, that sounds like a fun thing to do, doesn't it?" His tone was laced with amusement, as if he found the prospect of battling a deity to be nothing more than a thrilling game.
Dio's divine rage reached its peak, his eyes blazing with wrath as he prepared to unleash his full power upon Alucard. But before he could act, Alucard's mocking laughter filled the air, taunting Dio with the certainty of his own impending demise. "Come now, don't be mad" Alucard chided, his voice dripping with sarcasm, "let's not keep my girls waiting. Shall we dance?" With that, he assumed a relaxed stance, ready to face whatever divine wrath Dio could muster.
