Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

Vlad III. Tsepesh—!!!

Listen to how proud and dignified that man is when he refers to himself in this way; his strong sense of identity as the Romanian monarch, as the Third, is fully revealed in his tone.

The conviction conveyed in words can inspire people.

Suddenly, a being appeared in Alucard's eyes that was completely different from himself, the exact opposite.

No, that was the "past" he abandoned.

"This is Vlad III, a man who, in order to uphold justice, abandoned all the favors that humanity has received."

"—This is Vlad III, a man who vowed to dedicate my blood-stained life here."

How could such a thing happen?!

The figure before me possessed a dignified and noble bearing, a majestic yet ruthless presence, and a voice that exuded an astonishing, unwavering regal air.

"—Vlad III, Tsepesh...............!"

Accardo murmured in disbelief and with a trembling heart, repeatedly reciting the name.

"That's right!"

The Shadow Servant responded calmly.

It actually exists—someone who retained their human identity until death, instead of choosing to become a weak monster like him out of cowardice.

"Dracula!!"

The next moment, ah, ah ah, ah ah ah...

As if about to burst into tears and laughter, the wind rushed into his throat, but the intense emotional turmoil prevented him from uttering a single word.

After finally learning the true name of the "Heroic Spirit" before him, Alucard finally saw a sense of familiarity in the other party.

The figure was no stranger, even though the form and attire were different. But there was one thing that stood out: the majestic, kingly aura that shone brightly on the other's body, a dignity that had been preserved since human times. It was something precious that he had long since abandoned! At this moment, it was attracting him intensely, making Alucard feel ashamed and deeply moved.

"...Are you human, or a monster?!"

Suddenly, Accardo gritted his teeth and asked a question with great emotion, his eyes, as red as the setting sun, fixed on Vlad III.

Vlad III's expression also changed; for the first time, his defenses crumbled, and he looked incredibly ugly.

This question was clearly pointed, touching on Vlad III's greatest wound and sore spot.

"Shut up, you filthy vampire! I will be the monarch of Romania until the day I die, the shield of Christianity! I was born as a human, and I will die as a human."

Although I was falsely accused and shamed as a vampire for gaining this filthy power due to legends in human history, I will absolutely not use this Noble Phantasm that tarnishes my honor.

The "innocent monster" was vilified as the progenitor of vampires because of the novels about Dracula and his overly brutal historical image.

However, the real Vlad III always considered this a great disgrace.

Even if my flesh and blood, my soul and my beliefs are all burned to ashes, I will still fight to the very end as the monarch of humanity!

Vlad III's firm and authoritative voice had a tremendous impact on Accardo.

He didn't know what a spirit origin was, but he did know—even if his flesh and soul were completely burned away, even if he fought to the death—this man would absolutely not use the power of a vampire?

From those few words, Accardo and the others realized something.

Even in that world, the Impaler retained his human identity until his death, but because of the legend of the Heroic Spirits, he seemed to have gained the power of a vampire.

However—

Despite possessing such powerful and useful abilities, including the power of immortality, he actively denied it.

This negates the supreme temptation that humanity has been unable to overcome for thousands of years, a temptation that countless monarchs have been unable to conquer.

This is a king—a hero who, even burdened with infamy, remains dignified and possesses a noble soul.

At this moment, Accardo seemed to understand why God had arranged for him to meet the other party here.

Faced with this figure, which seemed to have become incredibly tall and majestic after making a declaration of determination to die for the cause, Alucard suddenly felt ashamed of himself. He even felt that his ugly and weak monster, standing here, looked like a counterfeit or a clown.

But at the same time, his emotions went from initial shock and disbelief to gradually calming down and then becoming excited after hearing the other party's declaration.

He didn't know when, but his hands under the white gloves gripped the two guns tightly, his heart pounded powerfully, the whole world seemed to brighten before his eyes, and his mind was clearer and more refreshed than ever before.

"Vlad III Tsepesch...! Have you denied the power of immortality that humanity so desperately desires? This strong and self-aware understanding, this noble and fearless soul—truly remarkable!!! Indeed, humanity—is the most remarkable of all!"

"Great!!!!" Alucard's lips curled up slightly as he exclaimed in genuine admiration.

It was a truly moving experience! Accardo was practically a die-hard fan of Vlad III!

Meanwhile, the Grand Duke's expression had improved considerably, though he was quite surprised... that someone who could understand and agree with his beliefs would actually be a vampire.

This is as absurd and unconventional as a mouse trying to understand a cat!

Meanwhile, Father Andersen, unusually silent, usually maintained that a vampire is a vampire, and just because you didn't intentionally become a monster doesn't mean you can still be considered a living person.

In the past—he would probably have already started grinning and said, "I don't think so. Look at your eyes...like a devil returned from hell."

But one by one

It's so frustrating!!! Even before Judas, the traitor, executed heretics and monsters, he was first and foremost a human being. A mere weapon cannot truly showcase the charisma of a human being.

It is precisely because they each possess their own beliefs and thoughts, yet still treat themselves as tools with cruelty, being so ruthless to themselves, that they shine so brightly.

The priest was furious. A human hero had been forced to bear the title of vampire in another world, and tragically, his sacred name had been tainted by evil.

"This is infuriating! Are the people of your world blind? How could they turn the name of the sacred dragon Dracula into the name of a vampire?"

Let the living bear the name of the dead—I admit it, deep down you're still human.

But defeating you is something we, the traitors, must do.

Even without divine command, I will fight—the dead should rest in peace in human history, and I will risk everything to send you back to mythology!

Chapter 87 [The King of Extreme Execution], Grand Duke: It's over! Night: No, it's only just begun!

Sensing the fierce, tiger-like fighting spirit and intense will, Vlad III's expression gradually turned serious out of respect for martial arts: "If you can do it, then come on, Catholic!"

Dawn is approaching, and I awaken from my dream...

Even though Vlad III had noticed that the priest had undergone some human modifications, he was still no match for the strength of a true... even the weakest Heroic Spirit!

Despite the obvious weakness and the clear gap in strength between them, they still dared to wield their swords against the strong, even with a death wish, to send him back to mythology.

He acknowledged that courage!

"In the name of the Romanian monarch, I acknowledge your bravery as a warrior!! I will repay your courage with all my might!"

Bang! Bang bang!

Then, Andersen launched the first attack.

The fierce battle has begun again.

In the city, three figures clashed swiftly. In an instant, the Vatican army and the last contingent on the outskirts were reduced to mere fodder, only able to wave flags and shout, completely unable to participate in this "battle of monsters."

In order to deal with the Impaler and to complete the trial of God, even the rare alliance between Andersen and Alucard, fighting side by side, could not suppress the Grand Duke, which instead further aroused his ferocity.

Despite his elegant attire, in his world, the Grand Duke is a ruthless warrior, just like Alucard when it comes to fighting.

He was a man who pierced through the rainforest, terrifying the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and even his own people were filled with fear and could not understand him, regarding him as a tyrant!

"Forward!~Forward~!!Forward~!!! Ee~!! A--MEN!!"

Father Andersen's body was already at its limit, and he had even been nearly killed by fatal injuries multiple times. He had countless wounds of all sizes on his body, and could only use a shining Bible to cover the wounds and forcibly stop the bleeding.

This was largely thanks to Accardo's continued cooperation, repeatedly taking the hits for him. He clearly recognized the importance of having a helper, as the priest didn't have the same ability to resurrect after death.

"Is this all there is to it? Is this your limit, Catholic?!"

After defeating Accardo and Father Andersen once again, he spoke openly.

Meanwhile, Accardo exclaimed, "As expected of that Romanian monarch! As expected of Vlad III Tepes!! This power is truly mesmerizing!"

Now panting heavily, Andersen, who was under the most pressure, widened his eyes slightly.

The opposing Heroic Spirit may not know, but you yourself praise yourself without batting an eye. What a shameless vampire!

Andersen, straining to stay upright, shouted, "We are far from our limit... We are servants of God, agents of God's punishment on earth! Our mission is to annihilate the last vestiges of the blasphemous fools... We will not fall until that happens!"

The two guns and swords were once again arranged in a perfect cross, colliding and sparking. The powerful impact seemed to confirm the priest's own words that he still had "the strength to spare"!

"Hehe, haha, hahahahaha!"

Alucard, standing beside him, smirked and, just as gleefully, positioned his twin pistols in a reverse cross shape!

At this moment, both the positive and negative crosses are simultaneously dealing with the same enemy.

But this does not mean that Accardo has rebelled against or blasphemed God. On the contrary, he understands God's will better than anyone else and is extremely grateful to God for giving him such a wonderful night, to be able to meet Vlad III, Father Andersen and others on this night!

Because God is now the devil!

Whether it's an upright cross or an inverted cross, it all reflects faith in God!

Up to this point, aside from their last trump card, they've been giving it their all.

In particular, whether it was Alucard or Andersen, their attacks were all fair and square, without any discrimination, and they were simply unleashing their full power to defeat the Grand Duke, clashing head-on.

A powerful spirit is a real thing; some people possess such a strong presence that even a brief encounter can evoke a sense of awe and wonder.

Amen!

When Andrewson's body was covered with countless Bible pages, which transformed into a towering blue fiery shield, he charged out once more.

What a madman!!!

Vlad III's eyes widened slightly. He could feel his opponent burning his own life force in the fight. Unlike the other vampire on the field, Father Andersen only had one life! Once it was used up, it was truly consumed!

The powerful fighting spirit that triumphed over death is truly moving.

"Amazing!"

Grand Duke.

To think that a body of flesh and blood could be trained to such a level!

But it was time for it to end, and he would respond to these strong-willed warriors with his strongest power.
