CHAPTER 5: BEELZEBUB
The pair found themselves back in an exterior garden.
Alucard: We seem to be back out...
Richter: We were probably safer inside, look! A swarm of large black bats swooped down, each letting a flea man fall from their talons. The hunchback midgets bit and slashed the pair, but didn't do any significant damage. Both Richter's whip and Alucard's Mablung Sword (Spirit sword - Improves DEF) hacked down the enemies, but they just kept swarming them.
Alucard: I have had enough! He took out a Fire shield (Shield with fire properties) and activated his sword, creating a large orb of fire in the sky above them. From it came out three flaming, dragon headed serpents that swooped down in all directions, burning down the hunchbacks and bats to incinerated piles of dust immediately swooped away by the wind. After that short instant, he put away both sword and shield and the pair progressed down the slightly scorched path to head up a flight of stairs to the back of the castle. After leaping a lot of holes in the bridge leading back in, they found themselves in a hall filled with stairs and Sword Lords, large armors wielding a large Greatsword (Greatsword of Aubec).
Richter: I'll handle these. Judging from size and their swords, they should be pretty slow... He whipped one fast, but the armor caught it with amazing speed and jerked on it, pulling Richter in it's range. Before Richter could react, it had raised it's massive sword above it's head and started to lower it's sword on him. Fortunately, Alucard reacted faster, sending a Fire Boomerang (Flaming Boomerang) straight at it's arms, cutting them off and making it's own sword tear it in half.
Richter: That was close, thank you.
Alucard: ... ... ... you're welcome... The two kept going in the hall, taking down other such armors with more caution this time. After they were done, they were outside again, this time on a floor of inferior quality, as it started to disintegrate under their weight. After a rapid and dangerous climb, they reached solid ground again and found themselves entering the castle's back door. They were teleported back in the present where they made a startling conclusion...
Alucard: The entity who brought Castlevania apparently mixed both reverse and normal castles together...
Richter: It seems so, then we should beware and be prepared for some of our worst encounters. Immediately cutting Richter's speech came a small ball of fire flying straight beside his face. Looking in the direction it had come from, they saw that a lesser demon had been hiding behind one of the giant glass tubes filled with god-knows-what. Soon, another came out, and another, and another... so that in a minute they were confronted with an army of foes, varying between Demons of all kinds to Bitterflies, passing by Salem Witches and goblins. Richter summoned from himself a Hydro Storm and the crowd faded in a fury of wretched screams. The glass vials also shattered, laying on the floor a bed of broken glass and deadly liquids that got dissolved in the rain of Holy water. After leaving the long and winding corridor, they were in a small room where a huge corpse was hanged to the ceiling thanks to a large amount of Butcher hooks dug in various parts of it's anatomy: one per leg, one per arm, one across the hearth, one straight from the back of it's head coming out it's mouth and one across the groin. From it's putrid skin fell tons of small maggots and escaped freshly fed flies of tremendous proportions plus a nauseatingly vile stench that made them want to gag. As they went in closer, they noticed it still moved!! The corpse's leg tried it's best to kick the, but failed miserably. Soon, the flies around it attacked them, but they tore the vile creatures down and sent them crashing to the walls in a bloody death. They concentrated themselves on Beelzebub, the lord of flies now instead of his brainless minions. After tearing off it's in a few swipes of a whip and sending it's arms to the floor with a few well placed throws of the Runesword (Flying Rune-inscribed Sword), they found themselves striking off the head at the same time, making it burst in a gust of unholy flames. With no signs left of the decomposing beast but the rusty mold covered hooks, they left for further adventures in the strange laboratories.
