Jude and Collins were instantly taken aback by the sudden darkness, and on the outside, the tree was covered in this large black dome that seemed to swallow the light coming from the sun.
Two blue eyes glowed in the darkness, and the dome began to be surrounded by ice once more.
A wave of wind blew over to where Alucard stood, revealing him to them.
Collins flew towards him with an angry expression, and Hannah, taking the chance, rushed at him too.
She began to grow scales on parts of her body, and three black pairs of draconic wings appeared on her back.
Her speed suddenly increased to match Collins' and Jude's.
Alucard spun the black spear in his hand, and then he flashed against a sword coming in front of him.
The entire tree shook as Collins' sword collided with the spear, and Alucard was quick to jump backwards as a trident missed cutting his arm by a breath's length.
Alucard gritted his teeth and elevated off the ground.
"Just so you know, any damage inflicted upon me would be directed to the body. So, you'll be harming Dexter by harming me," Alucard said, revealing his fangs as he smiled.
Hannah flew towards him, and Alucard could feel a slight pressure on him. Her eyes were slit like a dragon's, and then she spoke.
"I don't know what is going on, but that man will answer to us, surely. You're not going anywhere," she said with a stern tone. Then, reddish flames surrounded her, and her skin began to change color to a purplish-red.
Jude and Collins had already rushed forward, and Alucard flew up into the darkness. Both of them followed him, and then he waved the spear.
The spear released a blast of black miasma which formed knights mid-air, and they went towards Jude and Collins below.
These shadow knights were the strongest of them all. The ones who were extracted from the tomb.
They were weak as statues, but in their true shadow forms, they could match up to a fifth class, and even a low-level fourth class.
Jude and Collins saw the creatures, and then Collins waved the sword upwards, releasing an arc made out of wind towards the knights above.
"You're not leaving today!" she shouted and flew towards him.
Alucard had enough and flew towards her too. The both of them clashed with their claws, as he knew she would be able to block his spear.
Light flashed over and over as the two of them fought at a very high speed.
"ARGHHHHH!!!" Alucard shouted, and his entire body was lit in golden flames.
The spear appeared in his hand, and then raising it up, sunbeams began to break into the dome, shooting downwards at Hannah and breaking the ice wall.
Hannah had to maneuver to dodge the beams of light being shot at her from above, and she slowly neared him.
She approached again with her hand, and then Alucard manipulated the darkness close to her, which pulled her back a bit.
The darkness was instantly repelled, but it bought enough time and slowed her down. He spun, and a kick landed on Hannah's face as she was sent flying. Then, another person flew up.

Collins was like a tiger; he leapt upwards and went for Dexter instantly.
Alucard summoned the whispering shadow in his hand, and then tendrils made out of the darkness around him weaved and attacked Collins as he approached.
Collins wasn't fazed or impressed at all and was able to deflect the tendrils easily.
As he cleared them, he couldn't find Alucard in his previous spot. Before he knew it, he was hit by a kick from above, and he grabbed the leg at the last second.
The both of them were pushed down, and by this time, Jude had frozen all seven of the knights. Then he saw Collins and Alucard running a fight in the air.
Alucard seemed to split into versions of himself made of light, and they were all as fast as him.
Collins was fast too; he waved the sword around, delivering kicks to deflect some of the attacks thrown at him.
Alucard came from his back to attack, and a trident came from his side, which was about to be stabbed into his waist.
