Heroic Spirit: I, Shinji, have tried my best.

At this moment, at the edge of the deep pit where Shinji was, the seriously injured Archduke slowly climbed out of the human-shaped pit he had created.

I never thought that the famous "Piercing Lord" would be so badly injured in his own territory, but this pressure would never make him retreat...

"Oh, what a coincidence!"

Shinji greeted Vlad with a bruised face. Both of them were covered in dust and dirt at this moment, and it was hard to imagine that they were the strongest group among the two enemies.

"What a reckless fellow... When I first heard that you wanted to destroy the world, I was skeptical. But now it seems that I won't be surprised if a madman like you does something earth-shattering."

"Hahaha! How can I say that? What happened just now was just an accident. I didn't expect that I could bring you with me. Haha!"

"Humph…"

Vlad had a smile on his face. If there was one thing that made this war most different from ordinary wars, it was that there was no so-called hatred in this war.

No matter what purpose each person has, they are all fighting according to this invisible rule, as if it is really just a competition between friends, rather than a world crisis.

"In fact, I have always regarded you as our most powerful warrior. If we join forces, we can conquer the world... Are you really not going to consider it again?"

Vlad was chatting with Shinji with a relaxed look on his face. Anyway, he was the only one here now, and he was seriously injured, so it didn't make much sense to fight or not.

"…Why are there idiots like this everywhere trying to persuade people to surrender? You are just like the King of Conquerors back then."

"Oh? Is he someone you know? Did that king also say the same thing as I did?"

"What else? But..."

Shinji lifted the hair stuck to his face by the blood. The disadvantages of long hair were revealed at this time, but he didn't pay attention to it. Instead, he looked up at the sky, as if recalling something...

“…You two are both pretty nice people!”

"…Yeah."

Vlad looked at the young man opposite him with a gentle smile, and he completely let down his guard.

[How could such a person want to destroy the world? Sure enough, those people are overthinking...]

"!"

Suddenly, a palpitation rushed into his body, and Danik's voice exploded in his mind. The expression on Vlad's face instantly twisted:

“Lancer… Vlad III, I command you with the Command Seal to activate your Noble Phantasm… [Inheritance of Blood]!”

"what!!!"

"Huh!? What's wrong?"

A loud roar interrupted Shinji's recollection. He turned around and found Vlad holding his head with his hands, rolling on the ground without any grace.

From the heart-wrenching screams that kept coming out, I could feel the other person's pain...

"Damn it, Danic! Have you forgotten what I told you? Why did you give such an order?!"

"No... I haven't forgotten, my king. On the contrary, I did this on purpose to make you remember your true self!"

There was a hint of madness on Danik's face. Because of the continuous fusion of souls, he had already become strange. Anyone who is ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth and delusionally pursues immortality will inevitably go astray.

That was the case with Matou Zouken back then…

Although Shinji couldn't hear their conversation, he understood what was happening. His eyes suddenly turned cold and stern from being harmless just now.

"No! I'm not... I'm not a vampire!"

"No! You are! And you are the purest copper vampire king...Dracula!"

"Ahhhh!"

Vlad, who was kneeling on the ground and twitching constantly, opened his eyes wide, and his teeth in his mouth gradually became sharper, and the iconic mouthparts of a vampire gradually took shape.

The fingers gradually turned pale and bloodless, and the nails turned into terrifying claws...

"Yes! That's it! Extreme strength and speed, powerful regeneration ability, and the power of collecting vampires... This is what I've been waiting for!"

"I once again use the second stroke of the Command Spell to order Lancer not to commit suicide. Release your instincts at will!"

Finally, I will use the third command seal to engrave my soul in your mind, and we will become the strongest!"

"Do not!!!"

Danic madly released three Command Spells in a few seconds, and no one had time to stop him.

Amakusa Shiro's bad premonition became stronger and stronger, and the Empress just happened to lock onto Shinji's position at this time:

"Found it! Is that...Lancer?"

"No... that extremely strange magic power... it must be something that Danic did!"

At this moment, Amakusa suddenly regretted why he didn't pay attention to that man at that time. Now his behavior was probably similar to the vampire legend.

He didn't think that the other party would honestly help them at that time.

"We must solve it before the transformation occurs... Semiramis!"

"Hmm...wait a minute, look at that guy..."

"That rascal?"

Hearing this, Amakusa looked puzzledly along the Empress's gaze towards Shinji's position. The strongest and closest person was him, and he was now...

…Shinji walked slowly towards Vlad who was kneeling on the ground. At this time, the other party had almost completely turned into a vampire, but the terrified expression on his face showed that he still retained a trace of sanity.

But another crazy personality is fighting for control of the body, and Danik's shadow can be heard in the sound line...

Shinji, half of his face hidden in the shadow of his hair, slowly approached him... Suddenly! Without warning, the other party raised his spear and thrust forward.

However, the attack did not hit, instead Shinji disappeared without a trace, and Vlad... or Dracula showed a trace of human doubt on his face...

"Are you looking for me?"

An unusually cold voice came from behind, and Dracula quickly turned around, but a Rinnegan engraved with six magatama locked onto him earlier!

"Snapped!"

Shinji grabbed the opponent's head with one hand without hesitation, and then pulled it back with force. Accompanied by a scream of pain, a purple shadow was pulled out from Vlad's body by Shinji.

The purple shadow on the head was clearly the vampire from before, and Vlad's body gradually turned back into a human form the moment the shadow left his body...

"Ahhh!"

Shinji stared at the screaming soul in his hand with his cold eyes. The arrogance just now was reduced to pure fear.

The other party was also unlucky. Why did he have to come up and show off in front of him? If it weren't for the fact that the Samsara Eye had the ability to specifically target souls, he would have had to use some of his pupil power to physically exorcise the demon...

He casually pressed the struggling shadow into his body and glanced at Vlad who was gradually waking up.

A helpless, yet convinced smile appeared on the other party's face:

"I didn't expect you to save me..."

“…I just prefer to stand up for the weak.”

“…Hehe.”

……

"Ah!"

At the same time, the soul of "Dracula" was suddenly thrown into the sky above the blue ocean.

With a "splash" sound as he fell into the water, "Dracula" slapped the water in panic to keep his body afloat.

I looked around in confusion, but didn't see any clues to leave here.

Just as Dracula was looking around, the sea area where he was suddenly became extremely dark, as if some giant deep-sea beast was swimming towards him...

"Well?"

At this time, Dracula noticed that the water beneath him felt strange and scooped up some water in confusion, but the blue sea water just now was as sticky as a swamp...

"!"

"boom!"

The next moment, a large piece of black mud exploded in the sea water, like a huge mouth, instantly swallowing the figure on the water surface, and then slowly dragging it to the bottom of the sea... The water surface became clear again.

The surroundings became quiet again, with a strange sound wave rippling faintly...

“Aaaaa…”
