Alucard launched into Hein Eduard, trying to stab him. However, the blue gentleman dodged the attack by slowing down time when he closed his eyes and kicked the enemy's hip.

Alucard got thrown far from Hein, but this did not stop the Blood Dragon from getting up with his two feet and zooming at his enemy again.

Hein Eduard could only block some of Alucard's attacks when he was moving too quickly for Eduard to react.

'Shit! He's strong.' The blue gentleman thought Alucard could be easily defeated, but the Blood Dragon showed him how wrong he was.

'I have to get away until I figure something out.'

Hein dodged an attack that would kill him and ran away from Alucard. He stayed in the same area, not leaving, and watched what his enemy would do.

"You coward! Don't hide run from me!" Alucard was so angry that he made himself a bat and flew toward the blue gentleman.

Alucard transformed the Hawaiian shirt to fit his new size. The wings made a small dent in the shirt's back where they were located. After he changed, Alucard's fingers became bat claws.

The Blood Dragon reaches the enemy and swings his claw at Hein, but it is slow, so Eduard ducks quickly. Alucard transforms back into a human and swings his dagger at the enemy.

It got blocked, so he changed back into a bat and swung its claws toward Hein's face. Eduard dodged the attack and ran away again.

Hein Eduard took a fully reloaded revolver from somewhere and closed his eyes, slowing down time.

Everything around Hein Eduard was slowed down. Alucard was flying toward him at slow speed.

'I don't want to keep using this. But you are too quick.'

'I have enough time until you reach me, so I must check... How much Flow did I waste from this one ability?'

"How much of Flow I have left, system?"

A floating system appeared before his vision, showing how much Flow he had until it reached zero; it was 89%.

"How much do I have until my ability expires?"

Before he could see what the system told him, Alucard flew toward him, but he easily avoided it and saw it. The system said he had 30 seconds left until the time resumed its original speed.

After seeing it, he snapped his finger, making the system vanish.

"Perfect!"

Alucard's wings line up perfectly, causing Hein Eduard to fire all the bullets at Alucard's bat wings.

The bullets' speed was the same as normal, so the Blood Dragon couldn't react when they snapped his wings, and he fell to the ground.

Before Alucard smashed into the ground, he transformed into blood, saving himself. He returned to being human on the ground, and the time resumed to its normal speed.

"You fucking bastard, you will pay for destroying my wings."

Alucard's body wasn't injured, but he couldn't transform into a bat anymore when his wings got damaged. The Blood Dragon slaps his hands together and summons blood-covered hands from every direction, from the ceiling to the floor to the walls.

Hein dodged most of them, but there were too many hands to avoid, so hands from the ceiling grabbed his legs, and two more hands gripped his arms, lifting him.

'Shit! I am in trouble!'

If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

Eduard was struggling to escape the blood hands; they weren't budging.

"Fuck! Get off me!"

Alucard was smiling when he saw the blue gentleman struggling to leave. More and more hands were piling up, causing him difficulty breathing, and more hands meant it was more challenging to escape from them.

Hein Eduard couldn't move his single limbs.

"Your struggle improved my bad day, but I can't forget you for destroying my wings."

Eduard suddenly giggled to himself, making Alucard replay, "Laugh and laugh until your death comes!"

***

Eduard had enough time inside the bloody hands until his breathing stopped, so a silver ring appeared on his finger. A thin string could be pulled. The blue gentleman pulled the string, causing Eduard to vanish from the bloody hands' grip.

Alucard sensed the enemy's presence was gone from the hands. He stabbed his hand, and blood started dripping from his hand.

"I will not let you escape from me!" Alucard brings his bloody palm above.

The blood on his hand transformed into a dozen sharp blood spikes. They were in the air, not moving until Alucard commanded them.

The bloody hands were still there, searching for Eduard, but they couldn't find him, and they were way fewer than before.

Hein Eduard suddenly appeared, and Alucard threw one of them, missing when he vanished again. He had eleven spikes left.

"Where are you?" He was looking everywhere for the enemy and couldn't find her, even with the help of his bloody hands.

"I should-?!" An uppercut into his chin from Eduard after becoming visible, throwing him backward.

One of the spikes vanished after he got hit, so Eduard punched him more, making the projectiles above disappear one by one with the hands.

They went from a dozen spikes to five and finally reached none, and the bloody hands were no more, too.

Alucard punched Hein's stomach, allowing him the opportunity to summon daggers that were made from his blood. There was a bit of blood in his palms, and that dried up after the weapons were created.

Alucard swings those daggers at Hein's sides, but Eduard closes his eyes before the dagger impacts his body, slowing down time and lowering his Flow.

The daggers were still coming toward him but were slow, so Hein tried to get up from Alucard, but the Blood Dragon didn't allow his enemy not to get wounded, so one of his blades stabbed Eduard's shoulder.

"Huh? What da fuck?"

Instead of stabbing the blue gentleman's skin, the weapon pierced into a button that Hein was holding, making him teleport behind Alucard and swap with a Dragon Egg.

The ability to slow down time ended. Now Alucard could move at normal speed again.

"Stop slowing time down."

"But if you want to play that, then we play." The Blood Dragon called back the bats by biting his wounded hand, and more blood came out from his hand.

The bats slowly returned to his body, trying to restore his Flow to 100 percent, but before they called back, they were making multiple Dragon Eggs and the police dry.

His body was producing sparks after the bats were getting consumed inside of him. Alucard saw Hein Eduard trying to stop him, so he summoned bloodied hands.

There were fewer than before, but they did the job by delaying the blue gentleman from reaching him until all the bats went inside him.

"Tsk."

'I don't want to close my eyes again.'

Eduard got grabbed from the legs by bloody hands from the ground. However, Hein easily destroyed the hands, grabbed his gun, and shot at Alucard.

A hand stopped the bullet, and the sparks in Alucard's body increased until it ended.

'Huh? I thought that would recharge his Flow, not change him.'

Alucard became a full vampire when the rest of the bats, who were full from consuming too much blood, went inside his body. He grew black wings from his back without transforming into a bat himself. Like a vampire, his teeth became shaper than they had been before. He was shirtless after becoming a vampire, and his Hawaiian shirt was destroyed. Alucard's eyes were now entirely black with red pupils.

After the transformation, the Blood Dragon flew quickly, and when Hein Eduard blinked, he was in front of him. To the blue gentleman, it seemed like he had teleported.

Alucard grabbed Eduard's neck and lifted him, not letting him go. He stabs his teeth at his enemy's neck, consuming his blood.

"Hmmm? You are not him?!" Alucard recognized that man he sucked blood from wasn't the intruder but a Dragon Egg from his Dragon's Den.

"Whatever! You are a resource anyway!"

Alucard sucked the goon's blood completely, drying him up. He dropped the body after producing more Flow Energy.

"Where are you, intruder?!"

"I see you are hiding from me."

Alucard raises his hand and summons the blood spikes in the air without cutting his hands like last time. These spikes were larger and more shaper than previous ones. Hein Eduard slowed down time and activated an item before his neck was grabbed.

'I didn't have the choice to use Time Slow again when Alucard was transformed.'

"System, how much time is remaining for time slow end?"

The system popped up in his vision when he said that.

[One Minute!]

'I had the right call to put more Flow into my Time Slow. But this ability is drowning my energy into the drain.'

'Those things look like they are still getting summoned. I still need to be careful when Alucard throws them at me inside my ability.'

When he opened his invisible briefcase, he found many unique objects and weapons inside. He grabbed the useful ones and returned the silver ring.

'It is useless now. There are better items for me to avoid Alucard like this.'

He grabbed a random thing, and time resumed back to normal. Alucard quickly went toward him and swung his dagger, but Eduard pressed a button. The blue gentleman swiped with a random Dragon Egg. The weapon stabbed the goon's neck, killing them.

"Tsk! Stop running away from me."

Alucard saw Hein in the corner of his eyes, flew toward him, and said, "This is the second time you use that shit!"

"I would not let you run away from me no more."

After saying that, he summoned bloody hands from every direction; there were more of them than before.

Hein dodged the bloody hands, jumped up above Alucard's head, and fired his revolver, and it was fully reloaded after slowing down time.

Alucard avoided the bullets and kicked the enemy's head, launching him into the air sideways, and the bloody hands grabbed Hein's legs, swinging him to the ground.

Hein Eduard hit the ground hard without dying, but his bones were damaged. Finally, Alucard throws the bloody spikes at the blue gentleman.

To be continued.
