Day 60

Mood: Woozy

“Adrian, I have come to fight you. Show yourself!” Dios called out to the vampire, calling upon his huge sword. The leader of the warriors of harmony had a new strength instilled within him. He used to find himself mediocre, average, just adequate, his charisma and charm was his only strong points. But now he was stronger. He knew how to lead, he knew how to fight. He was going to fight for his life because everyone else had and he had no excuse not to win the battle.

“I am right here, I have been here for a long time. Now approach brave warrior of the good.” Adrian announced from the throne where his father sat for many centuries and Adrian had inherited. “So you have come here to slay me?” Adrian asked, his sword already out and in front of him, plunged into the carpet floor. “You must however prove yourself in a trial of battle as indicated by the divine thought entities.” Adrian shouted, trying to sound intimidating.

“I am aware of this, now come here and we’ll settle this, mano-a-mano.” Dios pointed his sword, wielding it with one hand. Adrian chuckled.

“Then I have one request, for this battle you may call me by this name. I am Alucard!” Adrian stood up from the throne and threw his cape to the ground.

“I understand.” Dios looked to the ground. “Now let’s do this Alucard!” Dios leapt forward with sword behind him. He took a large swing but Adrian turned into a cloud of mist and passed through him.

“You are not going to defeat me with those moves.” Adrian launched a fireball at Dios. In mid-air Dios turned around and blocked the blaze with his sword and jumped again at the dhampir.

“Chain digger!” Dios opened his sword and a large hook shot out and grabbed Adrian in the stomach and brought him closer. “Now devour him.” The inner blade of the sword turned into teeth. Adrian then transformed into a bat and flew quickly away from the chain. “Buster Star!” Dios’ sword opened again and he launched three shuriken at the bat version of Adrian. Adrian flapped his wings and dodged all three and turned back into a human.

“Tetra spirit!” Adrian put his hand to the floor and summoned four dark wisps. They found Dios and launched themselves into him

“Lightning Bunker!” Dios opened his sword and released a beam of lightning that disintegrated the wisps and caused Adrian to look away. “Go away from here!” Dios jumped up with his sword above his head like an epic hero. “Buster Drive!” Dios swung his sword with unimaginable strength. Adrian took to one knee after the attack. 

“You have done well but now I must show you my power. Dark Metamorphosis!” Adrian chanted and his eyes turned red and bat wings appeared from his back. His sword started to go ablaze. He looked just like a demon from hell, contrary to Dios’ angelic appearance. Dios electrocuted his sword, now jolting with lightning.

“Try your best.” Dios dared and the battle continued. Their swords clashed but as soon as Adrian’s sword hit Dios, he felt as if he was becoming numb. But still he gritted his teeth together and continued attacking though Adrian was slowly stealing his life away. 

“Hell Fire!” Adrian launched three fire balls simultaneously from short range knocking Dios backwards into the air. Dios rolled on the ground in order not to burn himself. “Shadow Flame!” Adrian shot out multiple balls of magma at Dios who rolled backwards as the magma burnt away the carpet. “Wing Smash.” Adrian quickly drew in and slashed Dios’ stomach while on the ground sending him sprawling backwards. Dios fell backwards and dropped his sword. “Have you given up yet?” Adrian asked. Dios gasped for air and closed his eyes. He thought to himself about giving up. The temptation. But he couldn’t possibly, he had his friends who counted on him as a leader. What kind of leader loses his only battle? 

“No, but this time. We play by my rules.” Dios stood up and grabbed his sword and plunged it into the ground. The ground shattered and broke, along with reality. He was creating a controlled space of his own. “Now I welcome you, to the Hero’s palace!” Dios shouted and suddenly they were inside a luscious white palace throne room. “Much prettier than yours, don’t you think? Now let’s play. Big Impact!” Dios opened his sword and released a giant wave of energy at Adrian who blocked it with a magical shield.

“Impressive, but still not enough.” Adrian pulled away the shield and flew,preparing another Wing Charge.

“Not this time Alucard. Maximum Drill!” Dios magically transformed his gigantic blade into a drill and thrusted it forward into Adrian. Adrian parried the attack and lightning jumped from his hand.

“Dark Lightning!” 

“No way, Day Flash!” Dios made his blade shine and their swords clashed. They jumped back, both bloody and exhausted. “I’m breaking my limits now! You will not stop me from winning this war!” Dios announced and his sword jumped with lightning. “Ride the Lightning!” Dios spun his sword above his head and locked Adrian in a cage of lightning bolts. He then ran through Adrian multiple times, each with an attack wreathed in electricity. Adrian shouted as the blade sliced through him. Multiple times he flew through and he jumped upwards and then slashed his blade through the dhampir and it exploded in electrical energy. Adrian fell to the ground, his sword resting next to him.

“What great energy from a human, I wouldn’t imagine it, not on my life, so much power. Thank you.” Adrian said as he vanished into fragments of light, all that was left behind was a pendant. Dios went to pick it up and he opened it and it revealed the picture of a beautiful woman.

“It says, Lisa Farenheights, that must be his mother. How beautiful.” Dios said as the pendant also disappeared soon after and a voice rained down from the heavens.

“What lies in your soul is Bravery.”
