Chapter 267: Unexpected

'Damn, I swear I will learn more skills next time,' Alex cursed in his mind.

He couldn't accept that MingYue was making far better techniques.

Comparing to him, it was very clear the difference between them. It's like comparing someone using a normal handgun, while her was a customized rifle.

Pointing her sword, the Lotus shot toward the other Vesa.

When it came close, it then exploded into many sharp petals that spread out into a deadly storm, covering him from view.

Swish, the ice storm not only pierced through his defense, but it also exploded into ice lotuses, putting their sharp roots deep into his skin.

From these sharp roots, a chilling cold started spreading, freezing his muscles and veins.

Numbness and pain spread all over him.

MingYue swung her sword in the air, each movement creating an ice shard that kept growing in size.

It started changing into a serpent but with the head of a fox.

"Roar!" The moment the sword pointed at another Vesa, the Ice Fox serpent shot through the air and hit its target.

SWOOSH!

The result was a beautiful spectacle of a huge ice lotus.

Meanwhile, Alex didn't stand still. His hammer pointed forward, launching a huge firefox burning in whitish flames. The heat reached 1,300°C (2,372°F).

BOOM!

When the extreme heat collided with absolute zero temperature, a reaction started happening.

The ice directly transformed from solid to gas, creating a powerful burst of steam followed by a huge shockwave radiating outward.

Normally, this would end here, but as the qi and lifeforce came from Alex and MingYue, another reaction followed.

Their energy, initially colliding, began to fuse, creating pure destructive energy. From the dispersed steam, a dark red ball coated with red lightning exploded.

Thalia was wide-eyed and gaped open-mouthed seeing what happened. She just wanted to launch another attack to support them, but the result was far more than her expectation. Through all her long live she never see something like this.

Meanwhile, Vesa's voice reverberated in Alex and MingYue's minds.

'No! King, queen, disperse the energy quickly. Otherwise, he will be completely destroyed.'

MingYue and Alex locked their eyes, both of them having helpless expressions. They didn't know that their attack would result in an explosion of unknown energy.

'Vesa, it's not that we don't want to disperse it.

The explosion is just beyond our control now. Are you sure nothing will be left anyway?

You mean even Alucard's essence will be destroyed?' Alex asked.

'It won't be destroyed, king. It's worse. The binding will be destroyed, making the energy float in the air.

In this case, it will then be quickly absorbed into the castle, making it reborn with some of the Master's personality.

I don't know how, but the energy that both the king and queen used was the one that the Master usually used in his attacks. Sёarch* The Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The effect is complete and utter annihilation. Not only will we lose the knowledge from the other Vesa, but we will also face another problem.'

'Wait, so you are saying since this is utter annihilation, the progenitor's energy released from Alucard's essence will be absorbed by the castle, then used as a medium to be reborn with part of his will?'

'Not just his will, but his personality.

If you ever met him in person, you would know how bad of an idea this is. He is too eccentric and cold-blooded.'

'Then Vesa, what do you suggest?' MingYue asked.

'Focus on the energy, try to feel what is yours, and then pull it out,' Vesa suggested.

Alex and MingYue followed what Vesa said. They closed their eyes and raised their hands toward the explosive energy.

The energy was very chaotic. The only reason their intent could survive was because they were the origin of the energy.

Swoosh!

The sphere dispersed, leaving behind a creature with wings the size of a fist. Its body was all black and very fragile.

Around it, a pile of crimson liquid and red particle energy floated.

Alex and MingYue could feel the crimson liquid was Alucard's essence. Each droplet contained his progenitor power.

"MingYue, absorb it all," Alex exclaimed as he focused his intention on the red particles.

At the same moment, red fog seeped out from Alex's body, materializing into Vesa.

Vesa flew in a blur, its mouth wide open, eating the other Vesa in one gulp.

The red fog then came out from her body, starting to form into red strings.

The crimson strings flew around the air and then spun around Vesa, covering her with a cocoon.

The crimson liquid started floating toward MingYue as she pulled it using her QI.

Meanwhile, the red particles started dispersing toward the castle walls, ceiling, and floor. Alex flew toward a part of the particles, trying to absorb them.

Based on what Vesa said, it should be the progenitor's energy, free from the bound of the blood and other Vesa, seeking to disperse and rebirth as the next Alucard.

Despite the risk, Alex knew this couldn't happen. Otherwise, one of them could get stuck, not even gaining 50% of the progenitor's power. This will become a huge problem in the future.

Feeling Alex's will, the particles started reacting. They felt a strange pull toward Alex, making them all flow in his direction.

The moment they entered through his pores, Alex's inner world shook. He could feel something awakening inside him.

Inside, his inner world started expanding and transforming at a very fast rate. If MingYue could see it, she would be dazzled by the change.

The size was large enough that it was bigger than the secret realm where the Bai Yue sect resided.

The place had a crimson sky with an orange hue adorned by a silver sphere like a moon. There was no ground, only a crimson sea stretching endlessly.

Alex found himself floating above the sea. As he looked around, his gaze turned upward toward the silver moon. It's really large, if its' on his planet he will think the moon is on it's way to crash down creating a huge catastrophe.
