"VLAD TEPES THE THIRD." The Devil said, pointing his trident towards the Ultimate. "YOU HAVE SINNED IMMEASURABLE TIMES. YOU HAVE UNLEASHED HELL ONTO ALL WORLDS, INCLUDING MINE. YOUR ACTIONS WILL NOT GO UNPUNISHED. YOU SHALL NOT DESTROY MY HEIR…"
"YOU THINK YOU FRIGHTEN ME?!" Dracula roared. "I AM THE DEVIL NOW! WHERE GOD FAILED TO DESTROY YOU, I WILL FINISH WHAT HE STARTED!"
Upon noticing Lucy again, Dracula only smirked.
"WE ARE NOT SO DIFFERENT, YOU AND I." He continued. "WE ARE BOTH SEEN AS THE ULTIMATE DARKNESS. ONCE, WE WERE GREAT AND POWERFUL. NOW, WE ARE EVEN MORE POWERFUL! ENTIRE ARMIES AT OUR COMMANDS! RULING NOT AS KINGS, BUT GODS! WE COULD HAVE SHARED THIS WORLD, AFTER ALL. BOTH OF OUR BLOOD FLOWS THROUGH HER VEINS. BUT YOU…DESIRE TO DESTROY ME. LIKE YOU DO ALL MORTALS. I…AM MORTAL NO MORE…"
"YOUR RELIGION SPEAKS LIES, FOR THEY DO NOT KNOW THE TRUTH." Lucifer replied. "NEVER WAS I THE SERVANT OF GOD. THE REALM OF NETHER HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY HOME. YOU HAVE LIVED FOR ONLY CENTURIES. YOUR IMMORTALITY IS BUT A GRAIN OF SAND IN AN HOURGLASS, A DROPLET IN THE OCEAN, WHEN COMPARED TO MINE."
"BUT YOU ARE GETTING OLD. YOUR LONGEVITY IS REACHING ITS LIMITS. MEANWHILE, I DO NOT HAVE SUCH LIMITATIONS! I SHALL RULE FOR CENTURIES UNCOUNTED BY MAN! YET IT IS A PITY THAT SHE STILL LIVES AS SHORTLY AS THE REST OF THEM. AND YOU…WILL HAVE NO MORE SINNERS TO PUNISH."
"THERE IS STILL ONE. IF YOU CAN NO LONGER PERISH, THAN I SHALL DO WHAT THE BEINGS OF THIS REALM CLAIM ME TO DO. AN ENDLESS DEATH. FOR AN ENDLESS LIFE."
"COME AND TRY. YOU WILL ONLY DIE FIGHTING! THIS IS YOUR FINAL BATTLE, KING OF HELL!"
The two monster gods began charging forward, horns first with wings unfurled. Finally, they leaped up with Dracula landing the first punch across Satan's face, sending him tumbling to the ground. The black demon only laughed.
"DO YOU SEE IT NOW? YOU ARE PAST YOUR PRIME…."
Satan got back up and roared, impaling Dracula with his trident. Growling, Dracula kicked Satan back, ripped the trident out, then threw him against a boulder before throwing the trident at him!
While Satan managed to catch it, Dracula charged and rammed right into him, with the Devil holding the Ultimate back with his weapon…
Before the Dark Lord shattered the weapon between his fangs!
With another powerful punch, Dracula spilled more demonic blood, which sizzled on the ground. When Satan grabbed each fist, the Vampire King only bit him on the neck, then broke a horn off before stabbing him in the chest with it!
He leaped up with Satan before throwing him to the ground, then landing on him with pummels to the face while laughing.
"WHAT'S THE MATTER?! SHOULDN'T THIS BE NOTHING TO YOUR KIND?! YOU HAVE YOUR LIMITS, BUT I ONLY GROW STRONGER AND STRONGER!"
And then, the next punch only hit the soil!
Dracula's eyes went wide, then he whirled around to face the Demon King. Who easily regenerated.
"I HAVEN'T EVEN BEGUN TO KILL YOU…"
Both monsters roared and charged again, this time fighting more aggressively. Another strong punch sent the vampire flying, with the demon flying afterwards. Lucy only rolled onto her back, gasping for breath as she felt herself slowly heal.
The two kings-made-gods clashed through the night sky, Satan unleashing a breath of hellfire to counter Dracula's Dark Holy Magic Beam. Yet the vampire managed to easily shrug off the hellfire before backhanding the monster into some black clouds.
The Makai Lord only shook it off. It was a lot stronger than the last blow. He had faced many powerful beings. He survived the Tenth Circle itself. In the other life, he even fought The Menace itself. Dracula truly made it seem like a shadow now…
The clash between kings continued, eventually with Satan getting the upper hand and slamming Dracula down into old abandoned ruins. With one final transformation, Dracula got back up and, much to his surprise, he recognized where he was.
"THIS PLACE. IT WAS WHERE YOU WERE BORN. AND WHERE YOU WILL DIE."
Satan landed with a thud. Indeed, this was the ruins of Britannia. It seemed like only yesterday that Dracula had laid waste to this kingdom as Vlad the Impaler. The ruins were now decayed and ancient now. Even the castle had fallen to pieces.
Satan charged with another roar, with Dracula halting it with another blow. Both winged horned beasts continued their clash all throughout Britannia, destroying even MORE of the ruins.
But he knew that Dracula was right. His transformation was finally complete. And not even the Lord of Nether would be able to stop him. Satan was getting brutally beaten with each and every blow.
He was getting old, after all. But he had heard many things about Earth. And if Dracula was anything like him…then there was only one way to destroy him for good.
Holy Magic.
Dracula roared like a bat-like demon. With no signs of humanity. He had lost himself. All that power, and he had paid every single price to get it. His soul was destroyed long ago…
Satan only flew towards the only place where he knew that Holy Magic would be. The church. It was the only building to survive Vlad's wrath. And heavily enchanted with Holy Magic.
The demon managed to lure Dracula inside, who shrieked when he felt the immense magic. It was beginning to weaken Satan as well.
"LUCILLE…MY TIME MAY BE OVER…BUT YOURS HAS ONLY BEGUN." Satan only stated. "DO NOT WEEP FOR ME. EVERYTHING FALLS BEFORE THE HAND OF TIME. RULE AS YOU SEE FIT. IN A WAY ONLY YOU CAN. YOU MAY NOT LIVE AS LONG AS I HAVE, BUT MAKE THE MOST OF IT. ONE DAY, OUR WORLDS WILL LIVE TOGETHER. AS ONE. WITH ENOUGH EFFORT…YOU CAN BRING ABOUT THAT DAY. AND REST. REST KNOWING THAT I DESTROY THE FINAL PLAGUE THAT HAUNTS YOU. FAREWELL, CHILD OF THE DARK. KNOW THAT YOU ARE LOVED…"
Using the last of his magic, Satan made the enchanted bell ring, activating the magical glyph. With a screech and shielding himself from the bright light, Dracula began to fly off, yet Satan grabbed from behind in a Full-Nelson position, with both monsters beginning to burn up.
"NOW, COUNT DRACULA, I SHALL TAKE YOU TO THE BLACKEST PITS OF HELL WITH ME!"
Satan let out demonic laughter as the animalistic Dracula roared like mad, unable to get free. Eventually, the church began to glow brightly…
And a massive pillar of Holy Light shot up from the sacred ground, the laughter and roars dying out as the light burned and disintegrated both kings, vampire and demon alike…
