CHAPTER 12: Within These Castle Walls (Part II: Demon Seed)

Previously on Vampire Killer…

Feeling disappointed of failing to destroy the vampire hunter, Camilla ran away. However, he noticed this.

"Don't try to run away, you goddamned bathead! Come back here!"

With that, the vampire hunter was on hot pursuit.

---

From a brief flash of light, Chris and Eva appeared on air before landing on the ground. They faced each other before looking around.

"Any idea where we are now, Chris Belmont?"

"No idea."

"So… what kind of trick is Camilla is going to play on us now?"

As if on cue, she appeared inside the darkness, standing in front of the duo.

"I'll tell you what's next, Belmont. Time for you to meet your ancestors." She said before dissolving into the darkness again.

"What?" But before he could go after the vampire, a dagger whizzed to him and stabbed him.

"Chris!"

"Hey, I'm alright. Lucky for me that these daggers were not too sharp." He then picked up that dagger. "Hold it a second… I know this- WATCH OUT!"

Then a slew wave of daggers flew at both Eva and Chris, forcing both to get out of the way.

"What the hell?"

"Meet Trevor Belmont, Chris Belmont. I had met your ancestors Leon, Trevor, Simon, Juste and Richter, so I had decided to use their powers on you instead." Camilla's voice echoed from the darkness. "They are the Greatest Five and Eva… don't waste your life on them."

"Let's get them." Chris urged the vampire.

-Bloodlines Bequeathed-

"Grand Cross!" Richter started off.

Stumbling off Richter's Item Crush, Chris back dashed away, trying to get as many space as possible to counter. When he got it, Chris used the same Item Crush.

"Grand Cross!"

When the light shoots off, Richter and the others were still there.

"Chris! You can't use your holy powers against them! It's useless! You're based off them!"

"Then you're the one who should attack then!" Chris yelled back.

Eva flew to the sky and she started to activate her magic. "Lic Lac La Lac Lilac, Κενότητος αστράπσατω δε τεμετω! Δίος Τύκος!" With a downward sweeping motion from her fingers, she managed to hit Trevor.

"Flame Crush!" Within seconds, fireballs eveloped Chris' Vampire Killer, making it a fire elemental whip.

At the same time, Eva was under Leon's assault. She tried her best to avoid Leon Belmont's Vampire Killer while trying to attack Simon with her Crystallizātiō Tellustris spell.

"Chris Belmont! You shouldn't have just target Richter alone!"

"Shut up! He's the biggest threat because he can hurt me with his Cross Item Crush!"

Just then, Juste came out of nowhere and kicked Chris away.

"God, damn it…"

"I'd told you so."

"Surrender! You had no chance of winning!" Camilla taunted.

"We will!" Chris replied the taunting.

"What do you mean 'we will'?"

"Just forget about it." He shrugged.

Trevor started to take his stance, and he's about to swing his longer Vampire Killer at Eva. However, Chris did a sweeping slide that broke off into an air ripping kick. At the moment his feet contacted Trevor's chest, he did an on air back flip.

"Gotcha!" He smirked but Richter was on it.

"Hydrant Star!"

"Laurel!" Chris yelled, throwing a herb at Eva. In an instant, she gained temporary invinciblity. "Well, would you please at least give me a hand here?"

Evangeline started becoming irked by Chris. "Lic Lac La Lac Lilac, Veniant spīritūs glaciālēs, extentantur āerī! Tundram et glaciem locī noctis albae! Crystallizātiō Tellustris!" In an instant, ice pillars started to jut up around the vampire hunter, rendering Trevor's boomerang useless. "Lic Lac La Lac Liliac, Veniant spīritūs āeriālēs fulgurientēs, cum fulgurātiōne flet tempestās austrīna! Jovis Tempestās Fulguriēns!" (Lit: Come, spirits of air and lightning, O southern storm which blows with lightning! Jupiter's Storm of Thunder!)

This time, that attack managed to finish off Trevor.

"There! Happy now?"

"Thanks for the help." Chris said. "You can finish him off much faster if he's the real deal."

"What now?"

"One down, four to go."

Suddenly, something snapped into Evangeline.

Eva, you are trying to defeat Camilla, why did you seem very uncomfortable with him?

'What?'

Chris Belmont. Your powers are greater than his, but your heart actually seeks for a company like him.

'No! That is not true! Why should a vampire like me befriend with a human like him? Who the hell are you?!'

My name's not important, bt your true intentions do matter right now. His Vampire Killer…

'What about it?'

It accepts you as a worthy friend, not a foe.

Eva snapped back to reality, only to find that Leon was on air, holding a dagger in hand. She had no space to run but Chris came into her rescue.

"YAAAAAAH!"

Chris tore through the sky with his ever-popular air kick, kicking Leon out of the scene and he landed in front of the vampire.

"Yo, what's wrong with you? You're day dreamin', Eva?"

"Shut up, Belmont."

Just then, something asked something from Chris.

"Hey, how can I do the Item Crush?"

"Huh?"

Eva quickly put a hand over her mouth when she realised what she had said.

"Never mind what I had just said!"

--

Item Crushes? How can that be possible? It's for vampire hunters from the Belmont clan, why I felt like I can use it?

It's not who it counts, it's the power and the heart which does.

You again!

Use can use your magic powers and execute the Crush. If your heart is pure, you can combine your powers with Chris Belmont.

…Who are you exactly?

I'm Sypha Belnadez, ally of his ancestor, Trevor Belmont. I'm disappointed that Camilla is using Trevor's puppet. You must destroy her quick as time is running out. If you fail, Camilla will use her Force Pact on Chris. Hurry.

---

"Oh no. They're gaining over us."

Chris was already on the ground, looking dizzy. It had took a lot of his energy to perform Item Crushes. If this continues even longer , the vampire hunter will pass out.

That's when Eva knocked him over and took his cross boomerang.

"Whatever that Sypha said, this would better be good!" She screamed.

Item Crush! Eva then yelled mentally.

Suddenly, the boomerang disappeared and crosses appeared from the ground, flying up to the sky and hitting the puppets, thus draining their life force.

In an instant, Eva started using The End of the World spell.

"Lic Lac La Lac Lilac, Το συμβόλαιον διακονητω μοί, η κρυστάλλινη βασίλεια! Επιγενηθήτω, ταιώνιον έρεβος, αιώνιε κρύσταλλε! Πάσαις ζωαις τον ίσον θάνατον, ος άταραξία! Κοσμικη Καταστροφή!"

The area around her froze quickly, except Chris. The moment she said the last portion, everything broke into pieces.

"I did it!"

"Oh stop celebrating already… ow…"

"Well, I owe you a damn lot, Belmont."

A swirling portal appeared when Eva stopped talking.

"Let's go."

A/N: Yes! Few more to go. Hope you all would be interested in this! TQ.
