Chapter 1706
Chapter 1662: Alucard Seeing the Hope of Freedom (Extra chapter for Alliance Leader Nero who keeps watch)
"So, can you break it?"
Alucard stared intently at Joseph, his heart filled with expectation and nervousness.
Joseph was a man who had been a king, and he immediately sensed Alucard's emotions.
Moreover, Alucard was somewhat losing his composure here, lacking his usual calmness, rationality, and casualness.
Because he cared, he cared deeply.
"Sheffield, what do you think?"
Joseph asked his secretary without turning his head.
Sheffield carefully observed the red magic array on the back of Alucard's hand, then replied thoughtfully, "If we have the 'Progenitor's Book of Prayer' and collect the magic theory knowledge of this world, I can attempt to analyze and break it."
Alucard looked at the other person with doubt, "This is..."
Sheffield said meaningfully, "I am Lord Joseph's void familiar, and also his most loyal secretary. I am skilled in using magic items, analyzing magic knowledge, and breaking magic seals."
Hearing this, Alucard suddenly understood that the hope lay with this woman.
Of course, since Joseph was the other party's master, his agreement was also needed.
"Can we try to break it now?" Alucard asked.
Behind them, Seras watched the two people, who were clearly about to fight, chatting back and forth, her expression becoming somewhat strange.
And the content of their dialogue was also very interesting. Was her master planning to dispel the master-servant contract signed with the 'Hellsing' family?
Did the young miss, Integra, know about this?!
Although Seras could understand Alucard's mood.
But wasn't this considered an act of betrayal?
At this moment, no one present noticed her gaze and expression.
Joseph smiled, "'Book of God' is a void secret treasure, so it's kept in the headquarters. Even if I am the president, I cannot take it out without authorization."
"If you want Sheffield to help you, you can only come with us to the world. How about it, want to surrender?"
These words seemed to be aimed at resolving the conflict peacefully, but his tone and gaze carried playfulness/mockery.
Because a fun-seeker like him absolutely did not want to make a long trip for nothing.
Since he had come.
He definitely wanted to witness the so-called vampire king.
Alucard, whose emotions had somewhat recovered, was not foolish. He immediately saw through Joseph's ill intent.
It was clear he did not intend to amicably accept him into the World Government.
It seemed this fight was unavoidable.
Alucard: "Let's make a promise."
Joseph raised an eyebrow, looking at him playfully, "Oh?"
Alucard: "If I win, you must use your full strength to help me break this restraint control spell and introduce me to the World Government. Oh, and Seras too!"
Joseph asked with a smile, "And if you are defeated?"
"Naturally, you can dispose of me as you wish. To die at the hands of a strong human, I suppose I can consider my wish fulfilled," Alucard immediately replied.
Joseph shook his head, "That won't do. The stakes are completely unequal."
"If I win, I will still help you lift the seal, but you must be used by me, serve me as your master, and become my familiar!"
Although he was not yet sure how strong Alucard was, judging from the process of his attack on the Fourth Heavy Combined Brigade Base, he was certainly not weak.
This way, he would have another usable tool in his hand.
"Hehehehehe, hahahahaha..."
After hearing this, Alucard covered his face with his right palm and threw his head back in wild laughter:
"I am lifting the seal for freedom! According to your words, I would merely be changing masters. If that's the case, I might as well stay by Integra's side!"
Joseph did not mind the other party's attitude at all and calmly reminded him:
"Listen carefully, that is the result of your defeat. Since you can even accept death, what's wrong with becoming my familiar?"
"Interesting. You think you've got me cornered. Then let's see!"
Alucard was unwilling to say more.
They would determine strength and weakness, victory and defeat through battle.
The victor would naturally hold the dominant position in negotiations at that time.
The next second.
The blood-red Baskerville Hound once again surged from his body.
It mercilessly opened its gaping maw and bit towards Joseph.
[Crack!]
The sharp fangs collided, making a chilling sound.
What it bit was actually a dissipating afterimage.
"Illusion... When?" Alucard was very surprised.
He, of course, also possessed the ability of the 'Third Eye'.
And its rank was much higher than Seras's, yet he still didn't detect the slightest abnormality.
Indeed.
If it were a general magic illusion, or a ninja's Clone Jutsu, Transformation Technique, or similar, Alucard could definitely see through it at a glance.
However, Joseph used the 'Illusion' of void magic.
As mentioned before.
The 'Kekkei Tōta' Dust Release of the ninja world could decompose substance into atoms.
And the unique aspect of void magic lay in this.
It not only had the ultimate magic 'Disintegration' which could decompose substance into atoms.
It could also control these atoms, which were smaller than elemental particles, to cast various magic.
Therefore, even if the effect was the same as an illusion.
The essence of void magic was also of a higher rank than ordinary magic.
Of course, it was also related to the fact that Alucard's 'Third Eye's illusion-breaking ability was not strong enough.
If it were the Mangekyo Sharingan, or even the Rinnegan, it might be different.
At the same time.
The figures of Sheffield, Seras, and the four mages behind them also dissipated with the wind.
They had already retreated to the rooftop of the cinema far away.
And Joseph's figure appeared above Alucard.
"Although I said I want you to be my familiar, it would be quite troublesome if you are too weak..."
As soon as his words fell.
A bright red energy sphere appeared out of thin air in front of Alucard.
Fire Stone!
This was a highly concentrated fire element compressed energy body, formed by spirits communicating with the fire attribute natural spirits in the air and condensing them.
Joseph actually used this kind of thing right from the start!
"Explosion."
He gently waved the magic wand, the tip of which glowed with white light, a smile on his face.
[Buzz——————]
The Fire Stone immediately emitted great radiance.
The scarlet light instantly submerged Alucard's body.
Immediately after, a dazzling white light was conceived within the red aura.
[Boom!!!]
The vast fire element magic power was completely detonated by void magic.
The town center of Warrington was like a small sun suddenly rising.
The darkness brought by the night was swept away, as if it had directly turned into daytime.
Immediately following, a scene comparable to a small nuclear explosion emerged.
A rapidly expanding fireball, a towering mushroom cloud, surging gale, an impact wave that swept away everything...
A moment later.
This town, built around the Mersey River, was completely turned into a sea of fire, scorched earth, and magma flowing like river water.
Fortunately, the populace had been transferred in advance, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Seras, who was timely taken to the sky by Sheffield and the four mages, stared dumbfounded at the melted cinema below.
Just seconds ago, she had been standing on it...
"This! This is too much! How could he do that?"
Seras, who had recovered her senses, shouted angrily in Joseph's direction.
"Although taking out a Fire Stone directly is a bit exaggerated, he didn't slaughter a large number of civilians, so what are you so anxious about?"
Sheffield glanced at her coldly.
Seras was immediately speechless, "But... but..."
Joseph smiled as he watched Alucard, whose body had regenerated from the blood on the ground, raise the magic wand in his hand again.
"Come out, Jörmungandr!"
The next second.
A white pentagram magic circle formed on the surface of the scorched earth burning with flame in front of Alucard.
And from within it, a huge steel puppet holding a greatsword rose upwards.
This was precisely a 'Level 4 Clay Doll' stored in one of his space rings, summoned remotely by him using magic.
"Defeat it and show me, Alucard!"
