Chapter 5, Recollection

Scene 1

Cyril: Richter Belmont!

Richter: Cyril, are you surprised to see me? Is there something going on?

Cyril: Alexis has disappeared!

Richter: Disappeared?

Cyril: Last night, a black winged demon invaded my dream and told me if I want to save Alexis, I have to go to the chapel outside town. When I awoke, Alexis was gone.

Richter: What did you say?! Black wings? Magnus, the incubus!

Cyril: Wait! Bring me along!

Richter: You'll only get in the way. Go wait at home. I'll think of something.

Cyril: I can't! Alexis is an important friend to me! I can't abandon my friend!

Richter: Sigh… you talk like an adult but you don't act like one. Listen, you have to depend on yourself for your own safety.

Cyril: I don't need you to remind me!

Chapter 5 Scene 2

Alucard: He's indeed in this ruined chapel.

Imp: If it's this place, the crucifix that is feared by the undead won't be here.

Alucard: No matter what, we have to take a look inside first.

Imp: Master, the stairs are broken in many places. Please be careful!

Alucard: Magnus, where are you?

Imp: There's someone!

Richter: Alucard!

Alucard: Richter? Why is this place…who is this person with you?

Richter: Him? He's a self-proclaimed vampire hunter.

Cyril: Not self-proclaimed! I'm a genuine vampire hunter! I've destroyed… vampires…with my bare hands.

Richter: I know, I know, I'll take your word for it.

Cyril (to Alucard): Are you a vampire hunter too?

Alucard: No, although…

(Alexis appears)

Alexis: Aaah…

Cyril: Alexis!

Alexis: Aaah… run, Cyril!

Cyril: What happened?! Who did this to you?

Imp: Master! Who is that?!

Alucard: Hm, can't forget even if I wanted to…

Lyudmil: Master Alucard, it's been a long time. It seems that everyone is here.

Alucard: Lyudmil, is it you?

Richter: Another old friend of yours?

Alucard: Hmm… someone who used to work for me. But now…

Lyudmil: Master Alucard gave me eternal life, and now I have resurrected.

Richter: What's this all about?

Alucard: Lyudmil…don't tell me you were the one behind all this?!

Richter: You mean that vampire who has been attacking girls in this area?

Lyudmil: Attack? That sounds horrible. We, the superior race, are merely exercising our rights, just like the humans who eat animal flesh.

Alucard: Why? Why must you do this?!

Cyril: You bastard, my sister…you attacked my sister!

Richter: Control yourself, Cyril!

Cyril: Richter! I told you! I'm a genuine vampire hunter! I killed my sister, who was turned into a vampire, with my bare hands!

Richter: You…

Cyril: Look! This is my power!

Richter: Stop it! You are no match for him!

Cyril: Die! Absolute Zero! What…it's gone?! What happened? Have I failed?

Magnus: Haha… it won't work, because the one who gave you the potion's formula in your dream…was me!

Cyril: What?!

Alucard: Magnus…

Magnus: It was also part of the plan to seal away the powers of that woman who summons beasts. That's too much power for a human.

Alucard: You controlled Cyril and used Maria's power…

Cyril: Don't tell me… that dream…how could I be so stupid!

Alucard: Magnus… what do you want? Why is Lyudmil here?!

Magnus: Heh…why don't you ask Lyudmil himself?

Lyudmil: Master Alucard, as a vampire who has been given eternal life, I have finally understood that it is not worth it to live as a weak, sinful human.

Alucard: What?!

Magnus: Indeed, Lyudmil. Those humans wanted to kill you in their anger… how could you forget that.

Lyudmil: Yes, Master Magnus. I must take revenge upon these detestable humans.

Alucard: Detestable… ? What have you done to Lyudmil?

Imp: Master, don't ask anymore! This is a trap!

Magnus: Shut up!

Imp: Aah…

Magnus: Imp, you know too much, so I have to get you to shut up. Alright, Alucard, he is no longer the Lyudmil you used to know. You have sunk your fangs into him, and so he has become a demon who hates humans for eternity.

Alucard: …

Magnus: I can see it, your confusion. Come, Alucard, shall we begin?

Cyril: Ah….Arhhh!

Magnus: Lyudmil.

Lyudmil: Hm! You think you can defeat me with this?

Cyril: He blocked it with his bare hands! How strong…

Magnus: Lyudmil, I'll leave them to you.

Lyudmil: Leave them to your servant, Master Magnus.

Magnus: Everyone! Let Dracula's power create cracks in your inner soul, make use of your faithful Lyudmil's memories, to influence Maria!

Alucard: !

Magnus: Let these sharp claws rend your inner soul! Woah! That's right! Feel the power of Magnus!

Alucard: Magnus!

Magnus: Hahaha… stop resisting. It's only a matter of time, because it is impossible to deny the truth! Come, obey the destiny of your blood, become my puppet. Dracula's castle shall rise again!

Alucard: Ugh…Arghh….

Richter: Alucard!

Alucard: Richter…

Richter: Don't be swayed by Magnus!

Alucard (still struggling): Argh…

Lyudmil: Richter Belmont, please do not stand in the way of Master Magnus.

Richter: Alucard!

Chapter 5, Scene 3

(Flashback)

Imp: Quick, Master! We'll be found out by the village people.

Alucard: Why am I here alone? You know it's impossible! …. Lyudmil! Hang in there!

Lyudmil: Master…Alucard!

Alucard: Why? Why are you back in this village?

Lyudmil: I don't know… when I came round, I found myself here…

Alucard: Lyudmil! Don't die!

Magnus: So you weep tears? I'm surprised.

Alucard: Magnus! Why are you here?

Magnus: To bring back this man who left the castle without permission. It's a pity, Lyudmil… is going to die.

Alucard: What?!

Magnus: What's there to feel sad about? What are your fangs for?

Alucard: … turn Lyudmil into a vampire?

Magnus: You'd better be fast, or it will be too late. What's the big deal? Just sink your fangs into his veins and suck his blood as much as you desire…

Lyudmil: Please stop… Master Alucard! Please let me die like this.

Alucard: Lyudmil?

Lyudmil: I can now understand Mistress Lisa's feelings. Mistress Lisa wanted to protect your heart, the part of you that is human. I… hated humans. How foolish of me…ah…

Alucard: Lyudmil!

Lyudmil: Master Alucard redeemed my soul…you're a human, don't hate humans…

Alucard: !...

Magnus: Hahaha… even with your princely strength, you're just a pathetic creature, you're full of flaws! However much you do not wish me to – manipulate you.

Alucard: What are you doing?! Stop!

Magnus: Go, drink his blood, awaken your inner instincts… obey the destiny of your bloodline!

Lyudmil: Master Alucard, please stop. No matter what, please…let me die with honour…

Alucard: Argh…my body feels hot…

Magnus: You want blood don't you? The irresistible thirst … yes, that's right, go taste human blood! Let me awaken your dormant instincts! Continue the legacy of the lord!

Lyudmil: Ahh….

Magnus: Haha..Hahahahaha…. Listen, Lord Dracula! These tortured screams! The sound of fresh blood gushing forth! Your servant Magnus has finally succeeded in his mission! The one to continue the Lord's bloodline should not have human feelings! Cast off your old self and be reborn! Become a a real vampire!

(Back to the present)

Maria: … Not here. (Thinks: when I ran after Alucard a year ago, I vowed to myself that no matter what, I will trust Alucard and support him by his side… I'm sorry, Alucard! Forgive me for being the one who wavered… no matter what has happened in the past, no matter what happens in the future, I will not be confused again!)
