“......!!”
Alucard’s eyes widened.
Su-ho, caught in his grasp, also clutched Alucard’s neck and smiled.
“Why? Did you think you were the only one who knew how to suck blood?”
“You lowborn bastard......!”
“Yeah! Then let’s see how far you and this lowborn bastard can suck each other dry until one of us dies!”
[ Alucard uses the High Priest’s authority. ]
[ Bloody Hand activates. ]
SHUAAAAAA!!
Bloodsucking from both sides.
A fight of sucking and being sucked.
The battle, where they thrust their hands into each other as though driving spears in and drained blood, was the first of its kind in Noctarion’s history.
Of course it was.
Because normally, when it came to bloodsucking between vampires, the side with even slightly greater power would inevitably win.
That was why Alucard was confident.
No matter how many tricks this bastard used, Levan had been born an inferior existence compared to him, and Su-ho, who had inherited that power, could never surpass him.
That was why he even used his authority and sucked in every bit of power Su-ho possessed with all his strength.
“Cough!”
Blood erupted from his mouth.
It was Alucard’s.
But Alucard did not stop.
He thought that if this bit of coughing blood was caused by the blood poison, then he could endure as much of it as necessary.
However, the longer the bloodsucking continued, the more Alucard began to feel that something was strange.
THUD!
It began with the snake.
The snake he had summoned far away collapsed.
Was that all?
The more bloodsucking was exchanged back and forth, the more things around them fell apart.
WHOOSH!
The enormous hurricane, which had been formed by combining three hurricanes into one, also vanished.
This, too, was something that could happen.
Because at present, he was focusing on bloodsucking.
But what came next was completely unexpected.
“Haa...... Haa.......”
They were gripping each other as though they had seized each other by the collar.
But as time passed, only Alucard’s complexion rapidly darkened.
Was it his imagination?
Absolutely not.
Alucard’s complexion was truly becoming extremely poor.
By contrast, Su-ho’s face was full of ease.
No, it was not merely full of ease. It was practically glowing.
It was not an illusion.
Even his expression was brimming with composure.
“You......!”
His voice was drying and withering away.
He sounded like someone who had starved for a week.
Because of that, the strength in Alucard’s hand gripping Su-ho also kept draining away.
No, it did not simply drain away. In the end, he lost his grip entirely.
“Grrk!”
Immediately after letting Su-ho go, Alucard clutched his own abdomen and vomited up a whole bucketful of black liquid.
One bucketful became two, and as though he had a tumor inside his body, he kept retching without end.
A foul and poisonous smell.
It was rotten water.
It was pure filth itself, where his internal organs, blood, muscles, and flesh had all become tangled together, pooled, and rotted.
After vomiting up all those things to the fullest, Alucard’s knees collapsed.
As a bonus, he clutched his stomach as though he had an upset belly.
“How in the world.......”
THUD—
Unable to endure the extreme pain, Alucard finally slammed his head into the ground.
Seeing that, Su-ho exhaled deeply.
Then he loudly brushed off the hem of his clothes and smiled refreshingly.
“That’s what you get for running your mouth.”
Smooth, glossy skin.
He looked truly healthy, as though he had just come back from a spa.
What sorcery had he used?
The secret lay in the bloodsucking process.
More precisely, he had contaminated the blood he sucked from Alucard all over again and sent it straight back into Alucard.
It was work that required tremendous concentration and delicacy.
But he had done it.
Because Su-ho knew better than anyone that if he simply exchanged bloodsucking with Alucard, he would lose in the end.
‘Even if I contaminated part of Red Maria, the contaminated blood won’t be injected unless he uses his authority. But what if I directly inject blood I’ve contaminated in advance into Alucard?’
Then even Alucard had no way to do anything and would be poisoned all at once.
Moreover, since Alucard possessed a relatively massive amount of blood, most of the blood Su-ho sucked from him had been clean blood.
By contrast, Alucard had taken back only contaminated blood, so could there be any trade more unfair than this?
There was one more thing.
Whether it was bloodsucking or authority, Alucard had to use the power he had stored in order to exert power, and since Red Maria itself was contaminated, it had truly become a continuous vicious cycle.
By comparison, Su-ho’s body was perfectly fine no matter how much contaminated blood it accepted.
Because all the contaminated blood in Red Maria or Alucard’s body had been created based on Su-ho’s mana.
‘I’m Corruption Sorcery itself. Other poisons might be one thing, but there’s no way blood contaminated by Corruption Sorcery would work on me.’
Still, it had been close.
Objectively speaking, as a vampire, Alucard, who had lived for hundreds of years, had higher specs.
Of course, the trait Power’s Price, which increased his power by twenty percent against vampires who hated him, had also played a tremendous role in this fight.
“This...... This...... I...... I, of all......!”
With his forehead pressed to the ground, Alucard desperately trembled as he tried somehow to raise his body.
But it was useless.
Because at present, the Queen-grade fairy’s contamination poison was running rampant inside his body.
[ Alucard uses the High Priest’s authority. ]
HWAAAAA!
Light burst out.
Unable to endure the pain, Alucard made a stupid choice.
“Cough!”
Something foul was vomited from his mouth again.
Seeing that, Su-ho clicked his tongue.
