Vampire God in the Apocalypse

Chapter 278: 275. Lucian VS Alucard (3)

The landscape of the city where the fight had happened had completely changed. The buildings were in even more ruins, and some forests were reduced to nothing but ashes.

In the sky, which was dark with clouds, Lucian and Alucard fought violently. They launched at each other time and time again.

Alucard spun the shadowy spear, knocking away all of the spikes coming at him as he looked for an opening to go after his brother.

Lucian seemed to be enjoying this, and a red crown appeared above his head. It had a kite-shaped piece connected to other smaller kite-shaped pieces with a single ring.

The crown gently floated above his head and released a dim red light as it shone.

Alucard was fast. In that split second of distraction, he turned around and reached behind Lucian.

As he struck with the spear, Lucian suddenly vanished, and he blinked as he only sliced mid-air.

Lucian was now above him, his reddish wings flapping as he gazed down toward his brother.

The blood particles began to form spiked tendrils, all rooted at his back like extra wings.

"Let's make this your best death yet, brother!" Lucian shouted as his eyes glowed brightly, and Alucard frowned deeply.

His fangs were showing out of his mouth, and then a smirk formed on his lips.

"Let's just see about that, brother," he mumbled before speeding toward Lucian like a beam of light.

The twelve tendrils lunged forward with precision, aiming at Alucard, who was moving at the speed of sound. He waved his spear around, destroying and breaking the tendrils as they came toward him.

Lucian had a blood sword in his hand, glowing with a bright purple aura.

He seemed to be keeping Alucard down and not letting him come close at all.

"Come down, you bastard!" Alucard shouted as he thrust his spear upward, releasing a large beam of flames, which then formed the true golden spear that threatened to blind all the vampires present.

Lucian seemed shocked by this and waved the tendrils to knock it away, but it was too fast and melted everything before coming toward him once more.

Instead of dashing out of the way, he swung his sword, creating a bright red arc that seemed to slice the air as it went downward.

Both attacks clashed, causing a massive explosion of flames and blood.

The vampires immediately fled when they saw the wave of flames coming toward them, and Sarah looked at her master, Lucian, once more. She felt at ease when she saw him still smiling.

There was a charred crater in the ground, spanning over one kilometer. At the edge stood Alucard, who heaved ever so slightly.

One of his arms seemed to have been taken in that attack, and he gritted his teeth, still standing, ready to fight.

Lucian seemed to be in better shape, but the blood dripping from his lips suggested otherwise.

He used his fangs to hold the star phaser in his mouth and the black spear in his single hand.

Lucian wasn't done with him yet as he boosted forward once more. Alucard frowned and gritted his teeth, realizing he had to use his best ability right now.

Golden markings as thin as thread began to spread all over his body.

The black mist surrounded him, and Alucard stopped above the gathered mist.

He began to feel an intense heat, and then the mist began to disappear, revealing Alucard with only one wing on his left side to balance his missing arm.

Flames raged all over his body, and Lucian raised a brow as he saw that Alucard's skin itself was slowly getting burned.

"Hm? Now that I see you shirtless, your own ability hurts your body?" Lucian laughed silently.

Alucard was even faster than before, spinning the whispering echo in his hand. He used the shadows around his body to hold the star phaser as he neared his brother.

Lucian couldn't be more excited as an intense bloodlust spread all over the battlefield.

Lucian raised the sword to block, but the spear passed through the sword as if it wasn't actually there—or perhaps an illusion.

The next moment, the spear sliced into Lucian's shoulder, burning him intensely.

"AHHHH!!" Lucian kicked Alucard backward, who fired large streams of flames from every direction toward him.

The remaining blood in the air gathered around Lucian, blocking the flames from touching him.

There wasn't much blood remaining, as most of it had been evaporated into the clouds above by Alucard.

"This is where it ends!" Lucian shouted before dashing toward Alucard below.

Alucard left the star phaser and spun the spear rapidly. Discover exclusive tales on mvl

"First art of the—ARGHHHH!" He shouted as he canceled the flames around his body, only to realize that the flames had actually been eating into his skin, and he was only feeling it now.

He ended the mark of ascension just as Lucian came forward. Alucard sent out multiple beams of light from his hand to stop his brother, but it wasn't enough.

"I have to buy time to heal!" he gritted his teeth as he tried his best to hold out.

But Lucian dodged everything and was already in front of him, ready to cleave his head off.

*Clank!*

A metallic vibration rang all around the area, and Alucard looked sideways to see Collins there, glancing at him with a cold face.

"You will do nothing to harm this man." With those words, Lucian was sent flying with a blast of wind, tumbling on the ground before crashing into the other side of the crater.

Ice began to creep toward Lucian, and his arms were bound.

"What is this all abou—!" Alucard's words were cut off as he was lifted off the ground by a red energy surrounding him.

Behind him, Hannah levitated in the air, flapping her draconic wings. Tears seemed to be falling down her face as she saw the state of Dexter's body.

She closed her eyes, and then it seemed like the entire place went quiet. When she opened her eyes, she clenched her fists in front of her.

"Argh!" Alucard's eyes rolled backwards as he felt a great pain in his abdomen and then he fell to the ground the next moment, motionless.

"Did you do it? Is Dexter back?" Collins asked as he rushed to the body which wasn't moving.
