Previously on Kiss of the Vampire.
"Damn it. We're fuck," Deyviel said as he supported himself with his elbows. "That one caught me off guard. That's cheating, you know," Deyviel weakly says.
"You are a weak human trying to play hero. Now you die! As he's about to bite Deyviel's neck, someone punches him so hard he flew through mountains.
"Man, you damn brats are hopeless. You guys can rest now. Well, handle the rest." As he said, three more figures landed besides him.
"You're as fast as ever, Gen. McDougal," the man exclaimed, named Adrac Durandal.
"Hahaha, like good old days," the man chime in while laughing. (Named Arthur Kennedy)
"You old farts are noisy as ever," he sighed.
Kiss of the vampire
(the girl with the sharp sword)
Mission six: awakening
Deyviel blinked in disbelief as the three figures landed with an air of authority. Gen. McDougal, a legendary figure among the Hunters, was known for his unmatched combat skills and strategic mind. Adrac Durandal, a master of stealth and infiltration, and Arthur Kennedy, a powerhouse with a penchant for brute strength, completed the trio. Their presence shifted the tide of the battle, instilling a renewed sense of hope in Deyviel and his teammates.
"Hey, Gangster Ape (he calls General McDougal)! What are you doing here?" Deyviel exclaimed, scrambling to his feet.
"We heard about the situation and came to lend a hand," McDougal replied, his voice steady and commanding. "It seems you’ve gotten yourself into quite the mess."
Catherine, recovering from the shock of Aldebaran's sudden defeat, narrowed her eyes at the newcomers. "More humans? You think you can challenge me with mere numbers?" she sneered, her confidence unshaken.
"Numbers aren’t the only thing we have," McDougal retorted, his gaze unwavering. "We have experience, strategy, and the will to protect those who can’t protect themselves."
"You... your that man back then!" she angrily shouted. (As we glimpse at her memory that fateful night, we can see a younger version of McDougal saying his old lines. With a smirk. "Come at me, you filthy vampire!! " He shouted and clenched his fist. And a massive class reverberated.) "Oh, so you still remember me. Well, it's quite a long time ago if you ask me. In my estimate, it was 20 or so years ago, am I right?" he fonder while holding his beard chin.
"Heh, if you ask me, you're the monster here, not me. No human can possess that kind of power!" She roared.
"Hahahaha, this is a power only humans can possess and use against you guys. But in what damn God joke a select few higher ranks of your kind can have. A different version of our ability that should be acceptable only for humans. And yet you and a few of you have it, and that's left me baffled for years until I realized something. If you're once a human, yeah, you surely can. So that's when everything clicked. You guys are breading human hybrids, am I right, Elsa (from frozen), he concluded.
"Heh. That's quite a speculation. But your right on the most part. But I'm no hybrid or genetically created. Yes, I was a human before I became a vampire. And yes, I can use Kai (chi Ki is not the energy of an individual person, that is, personal strength. Ki can, however, be isolated and put to use by an individual. Or simply put, it's your life energy. Humans can tap to it and use it. And vampires are weak against it. They can't regenerate if you hit them with a ki/chi blast or punch. And if you use it a lot, you will awaken it's latten potential, like the ability to use fire, healing, ect.)
"Fuck that. This bitch can use ki and has an ability. Things here are getting interesting," he chimes in and smiles.
Adrac stepped forward, his demeanor calm and collected. "Catherine, you’ve overstayed your welcome. It's either you pees out or well gonna fold you into 8. Besides, this village is under our protection now, and we won’t let you harm anyone here."
Arthur cracked his knuckles, a grin spreading across his face. "And I’ve been itching for a good fight. Let’s see what you’ve got, Ice Queen."
"Her real name is Elsa" (from frozen), Deyviel chimes in, and Adrac laughs at Deyviel's joke. "That's a good one, kid. I like that name. It suits her more," he laughingly says.
Catherine's expression darkened, her icy aura flaring as she prepared to retaliate. "You think you can intimidate me? I will freeze you all in your tracks!"
As she raised her hand, a wave of frost surged toward the Hunters, but McDougal was quick to react. "Now!" he shouted, and the Hunters sprang into action.
McDougal, Adrac, and Arthur; their movements synchronized as they dodged the icy blast. The air crackled with tension as they countered Catherine's attacks, their combined strength pushing back against her formidable power.
"Brat! Focus on Aldebaran! That guy is recovering; end him immediately!" McDougal commanded, his voice cutting through the chaos. "Gens on me! We need to take her out first!" He shouted and dashed forward to Catherine. But she anticipated his attack and created an ice wall between them.
With renewed determination, the Hunters turned their attention to Aldebaran, who was slowly rising from the ground, his expression a mix of anger and disbelief. "You think you can defeat me? I am the number 4 of the royal knights of the kingdom!" he roared, charging at the group.
As Aldebaran rose, he slowly transformed into a giant bat-like creature as he roared once again. "I will kill you all!"
The ground trembled as Aldebaran's transformation completed, his massive wings unfurling with a thunderous clap that sent gusts of wind swirling around the battlefield. The Hunters braced themselves, their resolve hardening in the face of the monstrous creature before them.
"Stay sharp, kids! This is going to be a hard one," captain Kim shouted, his voice cutting through the chaos.

Deyviel nodded, adrenaline coursing through his veins. He had never faced a creature like Aldebaran before, but he felt a surge of confidence with the legendary Hunters by his side. "Right! Let's Dance Fuck Face!" he yelled, charging toward Aldebaran, who was still not moving.
As Deyviel charged forward, the ground shook beneath him, the air thick with tension and the scent of impending battle. Aldebaran, now a towering bat-like creature, loomed over him, his eyes glowing with a predatory hunger. Deyviel's heart raced, but he pushed aside his fear, focusing on the task at hand.
Meanwhile
All three generals are at standard, still with the Ice Queen. No one is able to hurt each other because their strengths are evenly matched.
"Kennedy! Flank her!" McDougal shouted.
"Got it!
As McDougal unleashed a barrage of punches. That was easily dodged by Catherine.
"I cannot get hit by his fist. Each of his attacks is covered by ki, so I need to flee now, Catherine whispered.
Catherine's icy demeanor faltered for a moment as she realized the danger of McDougal's ki-infused strikes. She quickly conjured a wall of ice to shield herself, but the moment she did, Arthur Kennedy was already on the move, darting around the barrier with surprising speed.
"Now, Arthur!" McDougal shouted, his voice booming over the chaos.
Arthur lunged forward, his fists crackling with energy as he aimed for the gaps in Catherine's defenses. "You think you can hide behind your ice? Let’s see how well it holds up against fire!" he taunted, channeling his ki into a fiery punch that ignited the air around him.
Catherine's eyes widened as she realized the threat. "You think fire can melt my ice? You're mistaken!" she retorted, raising her hands to summon a blizzard that swirled around her, attempting to freeze Arthur in place.
But McDougal was relentless. "Adrac, now!" he commanded, and Adrac Durandal, the master of stealth, slipped into the shadows, moving silently around the battlefield.
Catherine, distracted by Arthur's fiery assault, failed to notice Adrac's approach until it was too late. He emerged from the shadows, launching a surprise attack aimed at her flank. "You’re not the only one who can play tricks, Ice Queen!" he shouted, delivering a swift kick that sent her sprawling.
The impact broke her concentration, and the blizzard dissipated, leaving her vulnerable. "You… how dare you!" she hissed, scrambling to regain her footing.
Meanwhile, Deyviel faced Aldebaran, who had fully transformed into his monstrous form. The creature's massive wings cast a shadow over him, and the ground shook with each of Aldebaran's movements. "You think you can take me on, little human?" Aldebaran growled, his voice a deep rumble that echoed through the battlefield.
"Man, I'm jealous. Wish I could do that one day, but now let's dance with Mr. Piggy Bat."
Deyviel's heart raced as he faced the towering figure of Aldebaran, the monstrous bat-like creature looming over him. The air was thick with tension, and the scent of impending battle filled his nostrils. He could feel the weight of the moment pressing down on him, but he refused to back down.
"Bring it on, Mr. Piggy Bat!" Deyviel shouted, channeling his fear into determination. He dashed forward, his fists clenched and ready for action. Aldebaran's eyes narrowed, and with a powerful flap of his wings, he sent a gust of wind that nearly knocked Deyviel off his feet.
"Foolish human!" Aldebaran roared, his voice reverberating like thunder. "You will regret challenging me!" Just as he finished his sentence, Captain Kim and Adrac fell from the sky, delivering a thunderous punch that rocked Aldebaran back.
Elric's ability is to teleport. And Captain Kim ability is gravity.
"Don't you forget us! We're the perfect duo!" they shouted in unison, their voices echoing across the battlefield.
As they say, Kliev, Alicia, and Yumi are at the rear holding their guns, providing cover for them.
The battlefield was a cacophony of chaos, with the air crackling with energy and the ground trembling beneath the weight of the combatants. Deyviel and Denver, fueled by adrenaline, charged at Aldebaran, his sword ready to strike. The monstrous creature loomed over him, its bat-like wings casting a shadow that threatened to engulf them.
Deyviel's heart raced as he closed the distance between himself and Aldebaran, the monstrous creature's eyes glowing with a predatory hunger. He could feel the weight of the moment pressing down on him, but he refused to back down. "Bring it on, Mr. Piggy Bat!" he shouted, channeling his fear into determination.
With a fierce battle cry, Deyviel lunged forward, his sword gleaming in the dim light of the battlefield. Aldebaran responded with a powerful flap of his wings, sending a gust of wind that nearly knocked Deyviel off his feet. "Foolish human!" Aldebaran roared, his voice reverberating like thunder. "You will regret challenging me!"
Just as Aldebaran prepared to unleash a devastating attack, again Captain Kim and Elric fell from the sky, delivering a thunderous punch that rocked Aldebaran back. The impact sent shockwaves through the ground, and Deyviel seized the opportunity. "The hell?! Again? How? He murmured to himself as the punch pushed him down to the ground.
"You think that becoming bigger makes you stronger, no. Not a fatchance! Bigger means easy target. You damn fuck!!" Captain Kim roared, and Deyviel sees the opportunity.
"Now's our chance!" he shouted, rallying his teammates. "Let's take him down!"
Elric, with his teleportation ability, darted around Aldebaran, striking from unexpected angles. "Keep him distracted!" he called out, his movements fluid and precise. "We need to find a weakness!"
Captain Kim, harnessing his gravity manipulation, created a localized gravitational field that pulled Aldebaran down, making it harder for the creature to take flight. "Stay grounded, you overgrown bat!" he shouted, his voice filled with determination.
Meanwhile, Kliev, Alicia, and Yumi provided cover from the rear, their guns blazing as they targeted Aldebaran's wings. "Aim for the joints!" Kliev shouted, his voice steady despite the chaos. "If we can ground him, we can finish this! Even if it's small damage, it can accumulate over time, so don't stop shooting," he shouted.
Alicia nodded, her eyes focused. "I’ve got your back!" she called out, firing a volley of bullets that struck true, causing Aldebaran to roar in pain. The creature staggered, its wings flapping wildly as it struggled to regain its balance.
Deyviel and Denver seized the moment, charging forward with renewed vigor. "This is for everyone you've hurt!" he yelled, their sword raised high. He aimed for Aldebaran's exposed flank, hoping to land a decisive blow.
But Aldebaran was not finished yet. With a furious roar, he swung his massive tail, aiming to knock the two off his feet. Deyviel barely managed to kick Denver to avoid the attack and send them rolling to the side as the tail crashed into the ground, sending debris flying.
"Man, quick thinking, thanks," Denver smiles, and they continue their assault.
"Watch out!" Vice Captain Elric shouted, his voice cutting through the chaos. "Stay on your toes!"
As Deyviel regained his footing, he glanced over at McDougal, Adrac, and Arthur, who were still locked in a fierce battle with Catherine. The Ice Queen was relentless, her icy blasts clashing against their combined might. McDougal's ki-infused punches met Catherine's ice walls while Arthur's fiery attacks illuminated the battlefield.Man, they're so cool," Deyviel thinks to himself.
"Keep her busy!" McDougal shouted, his voice steady. "We need to finish this fight quickly!"
Adrac, ever the strategist, nodded. "I’ll create an opening!" he declared, slipping into the shadows once more. He reappeared behind Catherine, launching a surprise attack that caught her off guard.
"Now, Arthur!" McDougal shouted, and Arthur charged forward, his fists crackling with energy. "Let’s show her what we’re made of!" He said as he clad his dual axe a wind spell. "Blizzard slasher!
As the battle raged on, Deyviel focused on Aldebaran, who was regaining his composure. The creature's eyes glinted with malice as it prepared to unleash another attack. "You think you can defeat me, little human? I will crush you!" Aldebaran bellowed, his voice echoing across the battlefield.
Deyviel gritted his teeth, determination flooding his veins. "Not if I have anything to say about it!" he shouted, charging forward once more. He could feel the energy of his teammates behind him, their resolve bolstering his own.
With a swift motion, Deyviel leaped into the air, aiming for Aldebaran's neck. "This ends now!" he yelled, bringing his sword down with all his might.
But Aldebaran was ready. With a powerful swipe of his claw, he deflected Deyviel's attack, sending him crashing to the ground. "You’re nothing but a pest!" Aldebaran roared, preparing to strike again.
Just then, a blinding flash of light erupted from the battlefield as Arthur unleashed a massive fireball, aimed directly at Catherine. "Take this, Ice Queen!.. DoomBreaker!" he shouted, the flames roaring to life.
Catherine's eyes widened in shock as she attempted to conjure an ice barrier, but it was too late. The fireball collided with her defenses, shattering the ice and engulfing her in flames. "No! This cannot be!" she screamed, her icy facade melting away under the intense heat. The flames licked at her skin, forcing her to retreat, her confidence shaken.
"Now's our chance!" McDougal shouted, seizing the moment. "Adrac, keep her off balance! Arthur, follow up with another attack!"
Adrac, ever the opportunist, darted around Catherine, launching quick strikes that kept her on the defensive. "You’re not getting away that easily!" he taunted, his movements a blur as he struck from every angle.
Catherine, now visibly rattled, struggled to regain her composure. "You think you can defeat me with mere tricks?" she spat, her voice laced with venom. But the fear in her eyes betrayed her bravado.
"Tricks? No, this is strategy!" McDougal replied, his voice steady and commanding. "And you’re about to find out just how outmatched you are."
As Arthur prepared to unleash another fiery assault, Deyviel, still recovering from Aldebaran's deflection, glanced over at his teammates. They were working in perfect harmony, each playing their part in the grand scheme of the battle. It was a sight that filled him with renewed determination.
Meanwhile, as Deyviel's teammates were fighting, he's lying on his back, unconscious and bleeding.
And someone is talking to him inside his head.
"Heh. Pathetic, you're going to die just like that? You can't save any if your that weak of a twig.
Here one time only. Use it.
As their relentless attack was still going on, Yumi rushed to Deyviel's side and tried to wake him up. "Denver! Deyviel is injured! She shouted. And then Denver rushed back to his friend's side.
"What happened? Is he okay?" He asked, shaken.
"Tsk this damn idiot. Then to your friend, I'll cover them," he sprung to aid Elric and Kim.
As the two patch Deyviel's wounds, something weird happens.
He's arm begins to glow a bright yellow light. Just like McDonald's. And he opened his eyes.
"Time to put you to sleep, piggy!"
