Chapter 354: Oni Meets vampire 2.
"Do I know him from somewhere?" Shuten Douji didn"t have time to think about anything because he suddenly felt the presence of his Clan member and friend change and become wilder.
His fighting spirit exploded! Knowing where this was going, Shuten Douji tried to talk to his friend, but,
"Wai-"
It was too late, he was already holding his mace in front of the man with a big wild smile on his face, his eyes glowed with overwhelming power and the whole area was suffocating for just a few seconds.
Yes, a few seconds.
Because soon an even more frightening pressure engulfed the man and the surrounding area. It was as if everyone present felt the weight of the entire planet on their backs.
And before anyone could even understand what happened, Ibaraki Douji blasted past Shuten Douji.
At this moment, the world around darkened, and the moon in the sky turned red.
And in the next second, Ibaraki Douji crashed through several buildings.
Everything happened so fast that only a few beings could perceive what happened.
"What...?" Shuten Douji looked at the man with a shocked expression.
"Did he just casually send Ibaraki flying? The Ibaraki!?" If Shuten Douji was the strongest man in his Clan, Ibaraki was right behind in second place.
He could clearly see that man casually punched Ibaraki in the stomach and sent him flying, he didn"t do anything else.
"Normally, I would play with you, but this is no place for that." The man spoke.
And soon Shuten Douji saw a head appear behind the man"s back, the little girl climbed onto his back and sat on his shoulder.
"Oni, guy." The little girl spoke with a hand raised in the air as if in greeting.
"She"s..." Shuten remembered that she was the little girl who was in this place a week ago. He looked at his situation better, and saw that the man was also holding the hand of a little white haired girl.
And behind him were two women, one with blond hair, the other who had the wings and horns of a Demon.
"What a strange group..."
"Oh? Do you know them, Ophis?"
"..." Nero"s brow twitched a little when she heard what Victor said. She was pretty sure she had told Victor about them.
"Why is he pretending to be ignorant?" She thought about it for a while, and as a smart girl, she soon understood that it was to show the people around him that he didn"t understand anything about where he was.
"Is he trying to get these people to let their guard down?" Nero thought, but after a quick thought, she understood that she was probably wrong.
She couldn"t guess Victor"s thoughts in the end.
"Mm." Ophis nodded.
BOOOOOM!
The building that Ibaraki landed in erupted in a large cloud of smoke, and soon the man appeared next to Shuten, he had some blood dripping from his lips.
"HAHAHAHA~! That blow was really strong! I could feel it!"
"..." Victor displayed a small smile when he heard what the man said. He already understood what kind of personality that man had, a personality that he particularly liked a lot.
An honest man, who liked to fight to increase his strength.
Just like him.
"I"m sorry for the att.i.tude-." Shuten Douji started to speak, but he was surprised when the man spoke:
"Before you attack, isn"t it polite to speak your name?"
"Eh...?" Shuten was speechless, the man not only ignored the matter, he treated it like it was nothing!
"...HAHAHAHAHA~!" Ibaraki laughed more maniacally, and said:
"My name is Ibaraki Douji, I am an Ogre Yōkai, but here we are known as Oni."
"Ohh, I see, I see. You are the famous Oni." Victor spoke with a slightly shocked face.
"Hey? You know me?"
"The legends of Oni are very famous outside this country." Victor didn"t lie, in the Weebs community they were very famous, proof of this was Ruby who knew them from various animes and games.
But it wasn"t like everyone knew them.
"HAHAHAHAHA~! That"s good, people haven"t forgotten about us!"
"And you? What is your name, I see you are quite strong, you must not be a normal person." He asked with a big smile on his face, and an interested glint in his eyes.
"Me? I"m n.o.body. Just a traveling Vampire."
"......" A silence fell around, even the people who were watching this discussion gasped when they heard what Victor said.
"...Don"t play with me, there"s no way a normal Vampire can throw me several miles away." He spoke in an irritated tone.
Is that what you"re angry about!? The surrounding Yōkai were speechless!
"...HAHAHAHAHA~." Victor"s booming laugh sent the people around him s.h.i.+vering, even though he was just laughing in amus.e.m.e.nt.
"Indeed, Indeed. This is my mistake, how could I not pay my respects to someone like you?" Victor"s smile widened and he said:
"My name is Victor Alucard, the Fifth Vampire Count of Nightingale."
"You can call me Alucard."
"....."
"…Eh?"
"This one is my daughter." Victor ignored Ibaraki and Shuten"s shocked expressions, and pet Ophis" head.
"Ophis Tepes."
"Tepes?" Like chicks the two Oni spoke at the same time.
"Isn"t that the surname of the Vampire King!?" They thought at the same time.
"And this here is my adopted daughter, Nero Alucard."
"Huh?" This time not just Ibaraki and Shuten, Nero herself was speechless.
"I don"t remember being adopted by you!"
"...Oh? Did I not tell you?"
"NOO!"
"Really?" Victor put his hand on his chin: "I thought I would have told..."
"You didn"t!" Nero was freaking out.
"Fumu..." Victor thought for a few seconds, and then said:
"Meh, just deal with it. I doubt you can run away from my wife now. She likes you very much."
"…HUH!?"
"Deal with it...? Deal with it!? This irrational man!"
"Not to mention you"re not the same as you used to be, and..." He looked deeply into Nero"s eyes:
"I owe you an unpayable debt, a debt so great that I will have to pay it by protecting you for the rest of my life."
"...." Nero felt quite shocked and touched when she heard what Victor said, after all, he was acknowledging her efforts, and her shock changed to mild fear when she saw Victor"s lifeless gaze staring at her.
To be honest, she was really scared!
"Oh, I"m sorry about that." Victor turned his face to the side, and his face returned to normal.
He completely forgot to control himself for a few seconds.
Victor looked back at the Oni, and said:
"These two women behind me are just extras; ignore them."
"HEY!" The two suddenly screamed.
"Shh, extras shouldn"t talk." Victor spoke with a slight glint in his eye.
"Go f.u.c.k yourself! I am not an extra!" Anna stomped to the ground in annoyance, and the building shook a little from her force.
"I know." Victor laughed.
And she was taken aback by the man"s beautiful smile, and his above-normal beauty; she even forgot to breathe.
"...Good-." Before she could say anything, she heard,
"You"re worse than an extra, you"re cannon fodder."
"…Eh?"
"Don"t you know what that is? Let me teach you. Cannon fodder are characters that don"t have names, and they"re often used in wars as a form of sacrifice to make the villain look more bada.s.s."
"You"re Demon number 1 The first sacrifice!!"
"...." Veins started bulging in Anna"s head.
"I... A former General of Lilith"s Demons, someone who is feared by everyone in h.e.l.l, is cannon fodder...?"
"You piece of s.h.i.+t! I"ll kill you!"
"HAHAHAHA~, I want to see you try!" He spread his arms and got into an open chest position.
Anna looked at Victor with an angry look, she a.s.sumed an attack position, but she didn"t attack, she couldn"t...
After all, there was a little girl on Victor"s shoulder.
"...Can you put the little girl down first?" she asked surprisingly politely.
"Oh? You do not know?" Victor looked at her as if she"d committed a serious crime.
"Know what?"
"The strongest warriors always have a little girl or baby on their shoulder!"
"That"s true?" Ibaraki asked his leader.
"..." Shuten looked at Ibaraki with a shocked look:
"You"re listening to him?! Of course it is a lie!" Shuten"s voice came along with Anna"s.
"...What kind of bulls.h.i.+t is this!?"
"This isn"t Bulls.h.i.+t, it"s a way of showing strength. If you"re not strong enough to make me take the little girl off my shoulder, that means you"re not worthy!"
"Oh, that makes sense." Ibaraki nodded.
"That makes no sense! Again, stop agreeing with him!"
"You"re so weak, you"re so weak that you can"t even make me fight seriously! HAHAHAHAHA!"
"This piece of s.h.i.+t..."
Anna was going to keep talking until Jeanne tapped her shoulder.
"Okay, this is enough. You can play later."
"Huh?"
"... That"s true." Victor a.s.sumed a neutral expression, and all the air around him changed. He looked at a spot in the middle of the street.
"Going to start, huh?" Ibaraki could feel it too, that oppressive feeling in the air, the Yōuki around him was going crazy!
"...That crazy woman, she brought a huge army this time." Shuten also stopped playing around and spoke with a serious expression.
"…Huh?" Anna didn"t understand what was happening.
