Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

Chapter 268: Alucard

Alex frowned, as even if his inner world had expanded, there was no explanation for it to have a moon like that.

As he thought about what it could be, the moon started getting bigger and bigger.

'What the heck, is the moon moving?' he asked himself.

As he pondered what it could be, the moon started getting bigger and bigger.

'The heck, is the moon coming down?'

The calm red ocean started getting turbulent as if gravity was going wild. But Alex knew it wasn't that; this was his inner world.

There was no science or physics here unless he set the laws. His eyes turned sharp as he carefully observed the celestial object.

Compared to the real moon, it was smooth and without texture. He then remembered what Vesa had told him.

"Are you Alucard?" he asked in a loud voice.

The silver moon suddenly stopped getting bigger. Three large horizontal slits appeared.

Two opened, revealing a pair of crimson eyes without pupils. The other slit widened into a grin that showed his fangs.

Alex's lips twitched. 'Dammit, another sly geezer.'

"You are no fun. Don't you even feel a bit scared? Can't you feel my strength?" An otherworldly voice boomed in the air, the vibrations creating waves on the ocean.

But Alex didn't care about this; his ears wouldn't burst as this was his inner world.

He could feel the presence coming from Alucard. If this was the first time, he would feel some apprehension, but Alex had met the eye being.

No matter how strong Alucard's presence was, it was just a small piece of his soul compared to the eye creature that was whole. There was no comparison.

Alucard's red eyes looked closely at Alex's nonchalant expression. "Aren't you worried I will take over your body?"

"If you wanted to do that, would you act like this?

Just what do you want?

I have suspected there was no way a being as strong as you would disappear like that.

Just what is your goal? I have many questions."

"HAHAHA…" Alucard laughed, then added, "Of course you have many questions.

Did you wonder what happened next since my power was split in half? How can you compete with the others?

Do you want to know my answer? Sure, I can give you one, but only if you answer my question first."

"Ask," Alex replied, preparing to answer any question.

He was now considering the possibilities.

Would he ask about his plan to revive the vampire race, rebuild it in Edonia, gather the survivors, or his plan to fight against other progenitors?

But Alucard's question was beyond his comprehension.

"So when will you ask MingYue out?" Alucard asked with a sly grin.

Alex turned stupefied, not knowing how to react.

Alucard let out a satisfied laugh as he added, "Why so surprised? Too shy to answer?

Too bad for you then, I won't tell you my answer."

"Is that even a serious question?" Alex asked in frustration.

"What don't you get? Your sister is right; you are dumb even with your abilities.

I told you, as long as you answer one of mine, I answer one of yours. I never told you what question it would be."

'I curse all damned geezers in this universe. Can't any of them be normal? All these old monsters have a few screws loose in their brains,' Alex cursed in his mind.

"Hey, hey, that is wrong. You know I don't have any screws in my brain. What kind of idiot puts screws in one?" Alucard replied in a gloating tone.

Trying to calm himself, Alex decided to play his game.

"I will ask her out when I am sure about her feelings for me."

"Ah, I see. So you are afraid of rejection. Tsk tsk.

You shouldn't be afraid; it's not like she has any choice, no matter how ugly you are."

Alex's vein throbbed, his patience growing thin. "Enough of that. Tell me your answer."

Alucard's expression turned solemn as his eyes looked like he was thinking hard for an answer. Time passed as Alex waited patiently.

After five minutes, he finally said in a nonchalant tone, "I… don't… know…"

SWOSH!!!

A giant hammer was thrown toward Alucard's face, but the moment it almost hit, he disappeared.

"Tsk tsk, young boy, you really need to control your temper.

What kind of progenitor acts like you? Don't you know you need to keep your appearance or your race will be looked down on?" Alucard's voice came from behind him.

But when Alex turned his head, he didn't see anyone.

"Where are you looking at? I am here."

Alex frowned, turning his eyes down. He saw a kid, barely waist-high, lying sideways on top of the ocean as if it were solid ground.

He propped his head with one hand while his other hand poked his nose.

The boy had the same crimson eyes and short silver hair.

"I gave you a serious answer. Can't you answer mine seriously?"

Alex didn't even have the strength to comment on Alucard's appearance.

He didn't know if Alucard was just playing him or if it was because it was just a small piece of his soul.

The boy's lips curled into a grin. "Do you think I, the great Alucard, would lie to you? What benefit would I have?

Look, boy, I already gave you my strength, and you don't believe me? Tsk tsk, what an ungrateful heir I have."

Alex took a deep breath as he walked closer to Alucard.

"You say you don't know? After splitting your own power and scattering Vesa, it seems you also did the same with your soul. Tell me, how could I believe that?"

"Because I say it so. Hahaha," Alucard replied with a laugh.

He then changed his position to sitting cross-legged, floating above to see Alex straight in the eyes.

"Look here, Alex. To gain something unprecedented, we need to do something unthinkable; only then will it become possible.

Let's just say you and MingYue are my gamble.

The progenitor war is just the first of your hurdles; things are more complicated than that."
