721 Soul Sucking

He looks over and sees Nerissa covered in snow, still heavily drinking from Alucard and looking remarkably healthier than before... The spatial rifts seeming to no-longer appear on her body? Though, it could just be that her flesh is regenerating so fast that it's not noticeable.

Blinking over and looking down at her he asks, "How're you feeling Rissa?"

She continues sucking for a moment longer before removing her fangs, "Painful." she mutters.

Reima raises a brow, "Painful?"

Nerissa nods, "Everything hurts..."

Reima looks closely at her flesh, pushing his effective eyesight to the limit and eventually spotting minute spatial tears forming, removing flesh before being regenerated. "Is it bad?" he asks, feeling guilty over having her drink his blood.

Nerissa shakes her head, "Muscle Ache." she says, allowing Reima to sigh in relief... If aching muscles was all she had to worry about then he'd gladly give her his blood again... Though, only if she were dying.

He kneels down and gives her a tight hug, "I'm glad you're ok Rissa, I'm sorry for letting that happen." he mutters, truly apologetic that he'd been split over keeping Moka's sister alive and helping Nerissa.

Nerissa shakes her head, "Love you, Rei."

Reima nods, "And I you, Rissa." he says, giving her a final squeeze before letting go. "We still need to deal with this guy though..." he mutters, summoning the Dark Hand and plunging it into Alucard's body.

As he expected, there are two souls within the form, both entangled and fighting against one another, this probably being the reason why Alucard acted like a mindless beast... Its soul was preoccupied.

Of course, the easy part was noticing the souls... Now begins the hard part of actually identifying them, if Reima weren't already familiar with Akasha's soul he'd likely have no idea which one is which, the souls being so tangled that separating them without hurting one or the other would probably take years.

Unfortunately for Alucard, Reima already had Miyabi's soul stored, and it looked remarkably similar to his own... Like a Horcrux. This made it relatively easy to slowly absorb Alucard's soul and leave Akasha's, once done injecting Akasha's soul shard into Alucard's body.

He pulls his hand out and almost immediately recognises the changes occurring, Alucard's body bubbling and melting into what could only be described as tar...

Reima picks up Nerissa and leaps away as Alucard's massive body drops into itself all at once, the tar-like liquid splashing against the floor but not submerging everything in sight, instead gathering at one point and beginning to shrink.

The new arm tries to wipe off the tar from the rest, finding it difficult and instead electing to tear it off as if it were hardened glue.

Reima looks at Nerissa and shrugs, emptying out a few gallons of water from his Folded Space ontop of the person...

Without warning lightning begins to crackles over them as the water makes contact with their skin, making Reima go pale as he realises Akasha is a vampire which makes her incredibly vulnerable to water... Hang on, couldn't he have used that against Alucard?... Damn...

The tar explodes off of the person as they glare at Reima, their pink hair and almost identical face to Moka causing the duo to have to look twice at her.

Akasha "I'd appreciate if you'd refrain from doing that again Ludvig-san." she states.

Reima scratches the back of his head, "Yeah, sorry about that... My bad."

Akasha nods, walks over and starts patting Nerissa on the head, "Where is my daughter?" she asks.

Reima grabs her wrist as well as Nerissa's and teleports to where Moka had been...

Moments earlier :

Moka had been waiting on her knee's for Reima and Nerissa to return, hoping that they were both safe... Alucards massive body had fallen earlier which should be a good sign but she couldn't be sure from here...

Nearby rubble starts to shift drawing her attention as a pale arm tears its way out from underneath the stone... Eventually pulling the rest of its body out and glancing around...

Akua "Moka?" she mutters, completely naked due to her clothing being ripped off after having her skull crushed.

Moka "Sister." she says bitterly, this person having almost killed Nerissa earlier.

Akua's face breaks into a smile as she slowly crawls towards Moka, her body still attempting to repair itself after being crushed and buried alive. "I've finally found you! And without that seal sister!"

Moka glowers at her, mustering the last of her strength to stand and back away, "After what you did, we are no longer sister." she says baring her fangs.

Akua looks shocked at her words, "W-what... Sister we're finally together again! We can destroy the human's and rid the world of suffering!" she says, her voice rising.

Moka "I want nothing to do with destroying the human's, or you for that matter Akua! You almost took someone important from me, and I'll never forgive you for that!"

Akua stops moving, looking down at the ground while trembling in what seems like sadness, rage, or both. "I don't understand... YOU don't understand, the human's are the real monsters! They need to be eliminated before anyone can be safe!"

Moka "I don't care about your delusions Akua!" she shouts, beginning to walk towards where Alucard's body is... But stops when the familiar sound of Reima's teleportations rings out across the ruins...
