CHAPTER 7: BATTLE TO THE DEATH
For that long hour, the pair wondered how they'd defeat such a foe... Satan, the very incarnation of evil. Especially counting Richter was now weaponless and so not very useful in the approaching battle. Alucard would have to vanquish it alone or die in the process. As the clock rang the 12th hit of midnight, Alucard had equipped himself with a Dark armor (Impervious to evil attacks), a Holy sword (Cross hilt - Strong vs. undead) and a Holy rod (Anointed rod). Richter had just snapped out of his short depression over his loss, not wanting to also lose his life. Satan looked pleased and lifted his hand. Above him appeared a tremendously large ball of fire. He went up after the rising sphere and rammed it to the floor with both his arms for extra power. It almost crushed the pair, but failed to do any large damage on either. Richter took a vial of holy water and tossed it hard at Satan, but he merely flew aside, just into Alucard's sword range. The Holy sword flashed with intense holy light and slashed deep within the leathery scale. Satan, not very pleased with the vampire's bold move flew up to the ceiling and began flapping his wings rapidly, causing around 100 needles to rain down on Alucard, almost turning him into a pincushion. Richter, charging to his friend's rescue only found the devil to turn around, letting out of his open palm a large spray of Ice, freezing the room for a minute and then shattering. Richter, now enormously wounded tried one of his super moves, the Hydro storm. He unplugged a vial of holy water and whispered a short prayer. Afterwards, he threw it up into the air, allowing the holy liquid to fall into the air until the vial shattered. Clouds appeared near the ceiling, allowing concentrated Holy water to fall down across the room, causing the lord of demons extreme pain, as each droplet scorched his skin badly. It spinned for a second and absorbed Richter within the forming winds. After a minute, he stopped spinning, letting loose on the room a large tornado, blowing the clouds and the pest away. Richter hit a wall and ended up straight beside Alucard's wounded form. Alucard got up and threw his Holy rod at Satan. He easily dodged it, but when it shattered, it bathed the room in intense holy light. The two wounded men combined their Holy Cross attacks to form a more powerful version: Cross storm. The move sent millions of little crosses bounce around the room, slicing and tearing into the flying demon until it countered. The devil radiated an intense electrical dome around himself and them, destroying all the crosses followed by the dome gathering in his hand to project one highly volted ray crashing into them, shattering the floor. The two hit the wall, badly wounded, but that wasn't enough for it yet. It grew from the cracked floor a large tower. At the top of the stone formation came a flash of light that became a huge wave of water, crashing to the floor, into them and tearing out the wall, making them hit the next one. Alucard was out cold because of his weakness to water, but Richter managed to stay conscious to watch their foe's pained grin as each step drained a bit of it's strength.
Satan: It's over, I've won and now your lives are ... ?!!! He noticed two large missile launchers made of intense light appear on the human's back, letting a dozen holy bolts scorching into it's anatomy.
Satan: This... cannot... be... defeated by .... humans... He fell to the ground lifeless for a second before he disappeared. Richter found his strength restored and his whip fixed, all thanks to the light. When Alucard awakened, he consumed a bean and both unearthed the door from all the debris burying it.
Alucard: You have to admit that was close...
Richter; Hey, sometimes close is a good thing. At least we didn't loose...
Alucard: True... Let's go!
