Chapter 3
1210 A.D.
Alucard stared at the army that was marching in closer and closer. It was the time of castles and armies in Europe. He was king of over half of the continent. This rising army was going to fall. He had his troops prepared and ready for the attack. Troops inside the castle walls and outside. He knew that the opposing army was coming closer with every second, but Alucard was waiting for when he could hear their heartbeats. His appearance changed. He had a light beard and moustache; his hair was a little longer. His face was more mature. He wore knight's armor with a blood red cape. Shizumo was leaning against the wall of the mount they were standing at. She had her hair up in a messy bun, a few black stands fell over her face. She wore a deep purple velvet gown with a light red cloak over it. Her eyes were cast out over the army that grew closer and closer to the castle.
"It's a shame that such men are working under such pigs. Now their just dogs who are about to die. But.. I don't think you care. I mean they are invading your land…" She said. A soldier came behind Alucard.
"Sire! They are drawing nearer, shall I give thine order?"
"Yes… have the calvery charge and archers line up. Make sure you can see each and individual weapon before you fire the archers. After the first line of archers, the catapults may fire at will," He said. The soldier bowed and ran off. The castle doors opened, men on horses raced out of them and charged towards the army. Alucard watched them run down the first three lines, then chop their way to the center of the mass. The archers began to fire, then the catapults reined down fireballs upon the enemy army. There were screams of pain.
"Oh… this is music.. but not the kind I like! It sounds like pigs squealing.. I'm going inside to escape it," Shizumo said. Alucard was silent.
"There will be a tyrant that shall fall back to hell… sensei.." He muttered.
Alucard was standing on a pile of corpses, his sword in his hand, blood dripping from it. His eyes were fierce and cold. Shizumo stood across from him, holding her arm, bleeding heavily. Her hair was more messy, her bun was falling apart.
"Alucard! What are you doing!? I am your master! You try to overthrow me and you'll just end up back in hell!!" She yelled. Alucard was silent.
"I am ending your rein over me. I am going to kill you. I will be freed," He murmured. Shizumo panted and glared at him.
"If you think you can do that, you're damned wrong! But… this seems interesting…" She took a moment to calm down and regain her stance.
"If you can defeat me… I'll let you be and let you live how you want, with just a few momentary visits to keep with the report shit. Now… come and attack me…" She grabbed her arm and snapped it back into place, the bleeding stopping immediately. Alucard raised his sword and charged. Shizumo stood up straight, her hair sprayed out of her bun and floated around her head. Alucard swung his sword, Shizumo took a step back and grabbed Alucard's throat. She lifted him up in the air and grabbed his sword.
"You need a lot more than the power you posses and your sword in order to defeat me. You have improved in your physical strength… but you need so much more… than that.. to kill me!" She stabbed him in the chest and dropped him on the ground.
"Well… you're finally rebelled… I think I'm going take my leave.. I'll see you whenever… Hell… I may be so much different… you won't know who I am! Ta ta!" She leapt in the air. Her hair enveloped her. She disappeared. Alucard rose and clutched his heart. He heard men drawing closer and closer.
"There! There he is! The King of the Undead!! Undead King! Get him! He must not escape!"
"Vampire! Vampire! Kill the monster!"
This is the end for me... in this liftime.
