They ascended up the stairway and toward the throne room that sat at the end of the passage before gazing upon the dark count, his appearance once more different as he chuckled before speaking. "As ever, the allies of worthless humans." He stood up and warped to the floor as he started to attack with fireballs, making the fight troubling as they needed to both avoid the blasts and hit the count before they forced him to transform into a large bat monster as he spoke in the monstrous voice. "Everything must end."
"Shut up, Dracula, no one has need of your dark behavior!" Kenmur shouted as they continued the assault on the bat monster as it breathed fire and fired energy bolts from its wings, but the attacks continued to force the monster back before it disappeared into a beam of light and the whole room was captured in the light before it cleared and the party watched as a number of magic circles formed in the air and Dracula reappeared, but as a demonic, bony head as Kenmur commented. "Okay, now that is really bad, anybody got a plan?"
"Strike the jaw and the head will lower for its punishment." Shanoa commented as the mouth piece moved and created magical circles that surged out lightning and fireballs before it was destroyed and the upper part did just as Shanoa said, but more magic circles were used as homing orbs, watery bubbles, and rolling eyes that erupting into projectiles on contact as they quickly used raised platforms to attack the sides of the skull, even if lightning bolts and fireballs were soon added to the attacks to evade before they had smite Dracula, the demonic skull fissuring up in cracks before it disappeared and the party made a quick escape as they looked over to the castle, the great structure enveloped in light as fragments started to raise from the now-ruined castle as Christopher and the party watched it all happen, but Christopher turned to Alexander and extended a hand.
"Thank you for your aid, it was a pleasure to know that you will not fall to your line's curse."
"To that, I will hope to the end that I will not be brought down by it as well." Alexander shook the hand as Christopher headed off, his adventure still not done as the Count had not died to his knowledge, he would face the dark lord again, but their role was done there as a rift opened again and they walked on through, it closing shut as the dawn arose to the sight...
Alexander walked in and sat down as the rest of the party followed him into the Fallen Armory before he spoke, feeling it wise to talk. "Now that we have the time to chat, I should explain things out for everyone here."
"I can only suspect what you are thinking, Alex." Shanoa mused as the cloaked man continued.
"To bring Sapphire up to speed, we have investigated several time periods when Dracula, the evil count of Transylvania, had arose, the first being the era when the Order of Ecclesia first appeared when I met Shanoa, the next era was when we discovered Richter Belmont and aided him in both his rescue of maidens and his freedom alongside the Dhampir Alucard." Alexander could have continued, but Kenmur took over as he spoke.
"We later helped Juste Belmont in revealing the true nature of a dark spirit and aided in the greatest legend among the Belmonts, Simon Belmont."
"Wow..." Sapphire's eyes was widen to the short tale as Alexander spoke again.
"Now we have helped the member known as Christopher and the next member that we could be helping is Trevor Belmont, the first Belmont ever to fight Dracula... from what I have to understand so far." Alexander mused as he raised a hand and a book flew off the shelf before he opened it to read the difference. "Hmmm... Christopher didn't say anything that were indicate that we were in the realm, but that can be discussed as history is one lesson we can always look into at times." He place the book down, closing it close as he continued. "Now... Shanoa, didn't you say that you want me to help in creating new Glyphs in giving you both new forms to fight with?" Shanoa glanced at Sapphire as the girl nodded with an eager notion as Alex nodded in exchange. "Very well, I can do that as I can help Kenmur with his new companion."
"Hey, are you saying that I would fail in bonding with my new blade!?" The sword shifted up as the crystal glowed in speech.
"I think that he believes that is the case... you are somewhat... foolish..." Kenmur and the blade which would soon be called Ragnell started to argue like two peas in a pod as Alexander rubbed his temples in amuse while the girls lightly chuckled at them, none even knowing what was waiting for them in their next adventure...
