Chapter 275: 272. A solution
Inside the waters, Alucard was at the bottom, just floating, and he let the current carry him.
All of his wounds were healed now, and his clothes were repaired, courtesy of the spirit space.
He could hear and feel the vibrations of the water, and then he found a flock of beasts swimming. He used his wings and legs to boost towards them with a spear.
The fish suddenly saw a golden light pass them, and they all split up before turning around again.
Alucard was now in their midst, and they bared their saw-like teeth at him, swimming towards him with the intention to devour him.
He left the spear in his hand, and then it curled out of his wrist, moving towards the fish.
One by one, they were all penetrated and killed in an instant.
A smile crept onto his lips as he received tons of notifications after.
[You have killed fifth-class rapid tilapia x82.]
[Wiped out the entire school x3 spirit points bonus.]
[You have gained...]
[You have leveled up…]
He brandished the spear in his hand and looked around the waters.
'The ocean was always a place people were scared to go. I might find stronger creatures below. I'm almost a third-class being already,' he thought to himself before swimming downwards, killing any nearby creature he saw.
...
Hannah returned to her father's camp to find the place partly destroyed and currently being rebuilt.
She walked into the area, and people instantly recognized her.
"Hannah, where have you been?"
"Ah, Miss Hannah. You've been gone for weeks."
"Is that Hannah?"
She waved at them before making her way towards her father's office.
She stepped through the doors in front, and she could feel his eyes on her.
She climbed upstairs, and when she entered the room, she saw him sitting at his desk, looking out the window.
She walked towards him and hugged him from behind, and his hand held hers.
"You ran off without telling me?" His voice was stern, and Hannah understood that.
"Ah, I told Mother to tell you," she said, and Dian sighed, shaking his head.
"Did you find the boy?" he asked, and she nodded.
"He's one of the reasons I'm back here today. He might be dead. I need Mom's help," she said, and Dian frowned at her words.
"I don't know what is happening, but I'm not sure I'll be able to let you go again. The one who will marry you must be able to beat me, at least. Or Quan," Dian stated, and Hannah smiled widely at his words.
"Oh, he's stronger than you right now. How about I tell you a bit about what's been happening?" Hannah said, and then she went to his front and sat on the window he was looking out from.
"Okay then, I'd like that," Dian replied, and she began to recall important events.
...
After more than an hour of talking, Dian was simply shocked to learn all that had happened ever since he chased Dexter away from the camp because of tradition.
After a while, she finally stepped out of his building and went to find her mother among the crowd in the camp.
She was able to sense magical energy, and there, she saw her mother on the roof of a tall warehouse and jumped up to it.
"Hm..." Lisa turned around as she heard the clacking sound of shoes hitting the ground.
She saw Hannah behind her, and a smile grazed her lips.
"I knew it wouldn't take you long to find me," she said with a smile, and then Hannah walked towards her and ran over to hug her mother.
"How have you been, child?" she asked, and Hannah shook her head.
"It has been hard, but I'm living."
"I can see that," Lisa said, and then they both sat on the slanted roof.
"So what made you come back? I thought you wouldn't want to leave your boyfriend's side?" she asked in a playful tone, and Hannah looked up.
"Actually, it's because of him that I came here today. I might not be able to see him again," she said with a sad tone, and Lisa frowned at that.
"What happened?"
Hannah sighed as she continued talking.
"After the blood moon—or rather, before the blood moon ended—the vampire king did something to Dexter, and now he seems to be possessed by the spirit of the king's last brother," Hannah said, and Lisa's eyes widened in shock.
"Ah... So that's why. I thought he looked familiar for a reason," she said, and then Hannah raised a brow at her.
"You know this person?" she asked her mother with a confused expression.
"Yes. Alucard..."
"That was his name!" Hannah said in shock, and then she listened to what her mother had to say.
"I'm sorry to say this, but he's gone," Lisa said once more, and Hannah frowned.
"No, you must have some kind of solution for this. Please, Mom," Hannah's voice cracked as she got on her knees.
"Alucard is one of the greatest vampires to ever live. He was cursed along with his brother to always fight after they ruined an ancient ritual for the witches.
"Alucard and his brother wiped out cities and killed thousands of people, until they grew old enough and began to fight each other," Lisa then looked down.
"Of course, with Lucian being stronger, he killed his brother. And then he continued doing it to every reincarnation, and now it's happening all over again." Lisa's tone grew lower and lower, and Hannah closed her eyes, letting the tears flow down her face.
"There must be something we can do... There must be..." she said as she banged the roof mildly, creating dents in it.
Lisa suddenly had an idea as she looked up to the sky, then looked at Hannah.
"There might actually be something we could do. But I won't be able to do anything. We're going to meet the leader of another coven," Lisa said, and then Hannah's mood lifted, and they both left the camp.
