Chapter 3: The Bloody Crimson.

My third Chapter.

WARNING: The Crimson is a bloody gore filled place, as such there WILL be Blood and Gore as well as disturbing scenes of paranoia.

Enjoy.

POV: Alucard.

"I hope you build a few more houses while I'm gone?" I asked Steve. "Yes, don't you worry about us." He replied with his signature grin. With that, I left. Blood Butcher sheathed on my back.

I was in the cave, looking for various ores and the like. I collected plenty of Crystals and made myself much stronger. I suffered a few blows here and there so I was lucky to find a Magic Mirror.

"Huh.." I looked at the my reflection and suddenly I was standing in front of Claire.

Clarie's Clinic/Home

POV: Alucard.

"H-How...did you..?" She was at a loss till she seen my mirror. "Oh.." I looked around. Her Clinic was like any other house, not too big, not too small, and had multiple beds, she even had a drawer that held medicines and potions. "Nice place. I feel safer here." She had a grateful smile. "Thank you." She seen my wounds, despite my healing, it would take ages for the wounds to properly heal. "You're hurt, here." She sat me down quickly. "Hey!? What?!" I exclaimed in surprise. For a woman, she was pretty strong.

"Stay still." She examined the deeper wounds as the small ones were healing, paying no attention to the heavier wounds. "A healing potion should do the trick." She went into the drawer and took a potion out. It was slightly bigger than a Lesser healing potion.

"Drink this." She said, handing it to me. I looked at it and drinked it. It tasted sweet, but had a minty after taste. My heavy wounds closed quickly. And I no longer felt pain. "W...wow. Thanks Claire.." I said. She closed her eyes and smiled, "Welcome."

The day was still young surprisingly. "Hey, Steve?" Steve turned, his face slightly red, "h-hey Alucard.." I raised my eyebrow, "What's up?" Why was Steve blushing like he seen a cute girl. "Ahem..nothing. I see you're stronger than usual.." I nodded. "Well...I suggest you prepare yourself...and your stomach for the Crimson..."

The Crimson

POV: Third Person.

Alucard looked below him. Blood leaked and squirted from the ground and dripped from the trees. Giant Skeletons laid silent in the background, and the mountains looked empty and dead. He didn't seem to bothered, in fact, he felt hungry. "God dammit, Stomach.."

As he forged onward, He heard a blood curdling growl. Turning around he seen a humanoid-like beast with an enlarged face and massive fangs it was slightly bigger than him with glowing red eyes. It slowly made it's way before pouncing, only to have itself slashed in two. "Damn.." He muttered to himself.

After carrying on, he found a cave, it looked like the inside of a vein. With arteries and small tubes on the walls, but upon touch, it felt like stone. He proceeded into the cave. Spiders clung to the veins and jumped behind him, getting the element of surprise. Regardless, he defeated them with ease.

After proceeding downward into the tube like cave, He found himself in an even deeper cave with 3 or more tubes. "This is like a heart.." He said. He dropped from his ledge and landed on a lake of blood. "Thanks, blood." He said, getting from the lake. "So hearts should be down these tubes, crush 'em and I should weaken the Crimson's influence.."

After destroying a heart, causing blood to fly everywhere, he felt a chill run down his spine. He didn't know why, but he felt fear. "W...what the hell is this..?" He said. Crushing another heart, he heard screams of anguish. He could make out a few begging for mercy, "Help! HELP! HE- GRAAARGH!" "NO! NO God! Please!" Alucard put his hands to his ears. 'Just what the hell is happening?!' He thought. The screams continued, he even heard voices similar to his friends. They were hurting his ears, bringing Alucard to his knees. "SHUT UP!" He yelled. Total silence. a few Blood Crawlers and Chimera appeared, he had trouble fighting them due to the experience that just transpired. After he defeated the hordes. He panted heavily. Drinking a healing potion. He approached the last heart. He readied his hammer. The heart began thumping a lot harder as if in fear of it's end. He crushed it, and a roar was heard. Suddenly, Eyes flew around him. "What the hell!?" He exclaimed.

As a gigantic brain hovered in front of him "We finally meet, face to brain..." It said telepathically. "So, the voice after I destoryed your eye, that was you? I didn't know ugly pulsing brains could talk." he bit back. the brain chuckled as it's Creepers surrounded it. "You're too kind." "Cut the crap, what the hell are you?" The brain raised slightly in intimidation, "I am the Brain of Chthulhu! Mastermind of the Crimson! And YOU! Are nothing more than a pile of purity that will be devoured by my domain!" Alucard smirked, "Really? You remind me of my father...slightly." but he did feel slightly inferior to this mighty, intelligent being. "I see you are no ordinary mortal...A Vampire?...This will be interesting, but enough talk, Have at you!" It yelled as It's Creepers flew towards Alucard, who took stance.

Chapter 3 is done. Man this is intense! Alucard VS The Brain of Chthulhu! Who will win?
