With the sword stabbing into his heart being twisted Zero felt excruciating pain. He coughed up a lot of blood as he grabbed the coat the Soma wore.
“I… deserve… that but… let's talk.” said Zero as he bled and gasped
“You talk too much.” said Soma? as he pulled his sword out and aim his next slash at Zero's neck.
Zero teleported away before Soma? could cut off his head and reappeared on the other side of the room. The wound on his chest had closed but his heart was still damaged.
“That’s not nice to do to a friend Soma.” said Zero as he watched Soma to avoid another surprise attack.
“I will kill you.” said Soma? with intense killing intent and then lifting his finger upward causing hundreds of shadow spikes to erupt from the ground.
“Well as I was trying to say that not really Mina Soma.” said Zero after he teleported to dodge a surprise attack from Soma.
“I know but she doesn’t really matter anyway. I’m not Soma so I will kill you.” said Soma? coldly
“Really she doesn’t matter even though she’s Lisa reincarnation?” said Zero
When he heard what Zero said Dracula froze in place when he heard the name “What do you mean Lisa is dead.”
‘Oh thank god, I thought I was going to die. Looks like his memories of Dracula are overpowering his memories as Soma.’ thought Zero
“No God decided to make you 2 suffer for all eternity by forcing her to reincarnate and die endlessly as you watch.” said Zero hope that this would stop Dracula.
“So that bastard is still pulling strings. He dares to do that to Lisa.” cursed Dracula
“Yup he’s been messing with you and your wife for centuries. So how about working with me to kill him.” said Zero
“No why would I need you.” said Dracula as he threw Soma’s sword at Zero forcing him to dodge to the right only to be pierced by shadow spikes.

Zero managed to teleport away but he was still impaled by a spike in the stomach. He notices Dracula raise his hand and all the blood on the floor floated towards Dracula. The blood was then gathered into a sphere that Dracula drank.
“Delicious but, strangely, I couldn’t get any ability from your blood. What are you?” asked Dracula
“Well I’m your friend Soma.” answered Zero
“Stop calling me that. My name is Vlad Tepes.” said Dracula
“Well yes and before that you were Mathias Cronqvist.” said Zero
“I have always been Vlad.” retorted Dracula
“No, you haven’t that’s another one of God’s tricks. He probably sealed your memories of your first life.” said Zero
“So you’re saying he messed with my mind. You’re lying if he did that then he would have gotten rid of my hatred.” responded Dracula
“It’s probably more entertaining for him to watch you squirm trying to take revenge on him.” answered Zero
“Even if that’s true why bother to seal a part of my memories?” asked Dracula
“Well I’d wager that somewhere in those memories lie a truth that would either harm him or allow you to break free of his control.” said Zero
“I’m not under his control!” yelled Dracula as he released his aura.
“Sad to say that you are I defeated Death and when I saw his soul I noticed a divine power attached to it.” said Zero
Dracula interrupted by saying “Of course you would we both sever chaos to fight God.”
“Well that would be true if the divine power were of the dark variety but this was holy divine power. This means that the being you sever is a holy deity posing as a dark one.” explained Zero
“What but my powers are dark!” yelled Dracula
“No, it’s actually a holy power pretending to be dark making a pseudo dark power. It’s another form of control. You’ve been dancing in God’s palm for centuries. Let’s work together and break free of those shackles.” explained Zero
Dracula teleported and punched Zero into the ground and kept repeatedly pummeling him creating a crater. Dracula then lifted him out of the ground and threw him into the wall before setting him ablaze in a dark flame.
Zero screamed as the flames burned him and he continued to regenerate. The flames would melt of his skin and turn his muscles to ash only for them to regrow in seconds. This was excruciating and Zero was close to losing consciousness.
“Lying to me to manipulate me. I will not be manipulated. You will die here and now.” said Dracula
“I’m… your… friend Soma.” said Zero
“I told you not to call me that.” said Dracula coldly.
A figure suddenly appeared out of a crack in space and flew straight at Dracula kicking him across the room. The figure then rushed to Zero and created water out of thin air and dowsed the flames. What was left of Zero was a black skeleton with charred pieces of meat hang on. The figure then created a black ice barrier around the 2.
Although it was minimal Zero began to heal. His skeleton turned white and his muscles and flesh began to regrow. As it did his instincts kicked in and he bit the figure who had saved him and began to drain their blood. After drink blood for a few seconds, Zero regained consciousness and saw that the figure was Yoko.
“Thanks for saving me.” said Zero as he smiled at her
“We’ll talk about you almost dying later but I’m glad your safe. Let’s get you some new clothes.” said Yoko as she produced a portal and reached in to pull out a shirt, pants, and sneakers.
“Well technically I wouldn’t have died since my soul isn’t here but sure we’ll talk about it.” said Zero
“Whatever so what the plan now?” asked Yoko
“Well negotiations have failed so we’ll go with Plan B.” said Zero
“Plan B?” questioned Yoko
“Yeah we’ll beat him up and I’ll remove God’s influence for him while awakening his memories.” explained Zero
“What are our chances?” asked Yoko
“Well if I’m being honest about 40% if we fight him head-on.” said Zero
A massive meteor then struck the ice barrier surrounding them. The barrier then shattered and flamed flew past the shattered ice. Yoko summoned her dark tide orbs along with a water barrier to stop the flames.
“Well then Soma look like we couldn’t reach a bargain so I’ll have to force you to submit.” said Zero
“You will die for deceiving me and she will die for daring to attack me.” said Dracula
