My Blood Legacy: Reincarnated as a Vampire

Can existence be overcome by brute force? Of course. Existence itself was created by the brute force of collisions between things we barely comprehend...

Why this sudden rambling? Well... I guess Dante could say it's just another moment where his mind is processing what has happened to him once again...

Once again, he had been in a dream world, speaking with another unknown entity... This was becoming concerning... Very concerning.

I mean, the more his power began to elevate, the more new entities started to surround him, and it was beginning to feel like a burden.

Especially for someone destined to be a leader.

Now, however... "I saw Tiamat, didn't I?" he questioned himself in his mental realm... The Dragon of Five Heads... It was Tiamat, without a doubt. So... why was it so gentle? Despite its monstrosity, Dante clearly felt kindness in its words... Why was that... so strange?

The simple fact that since he arrived here, everything about Tiamat being a horrific monster was starting to make less sense, just like that strange spirit that spoke to him a little while ago...

"Am I overthinking this?" he wondered as he saw the enormous giant approaching.

The stench of rotting flesh on its body was truly overpowering...

"Think we can take it out in one hit?" Valentina asked, assessing how best to fight against it.

"Probably not; its regeneration is tricky to deal with. We'll need to test its resilience first," Dante replied, smiling as he watched his wife getting genuinely excited about the fight.

"Oh, it's been a while since I've seen that smile," Dante said, returning the smile. "Well, this is our first time fighting together like this," Valentina said, a bit shy, her cheeks flushing slightly.

"Fufufu, so cute," Dante said, noticing his red-haired wife turning her face away.

"S-Stop it," Valentina replied, boosting her aura to appear more imposing, but to Dante, she was just his cute and crazy wife.

"Well, go back to your Primordial Vampire form; I fear it will be necessary..." Dante said, pointing his palm toward the giant and unleashing a blast of black energy at it.

The energy cut through the air like a laser, striking the monster's chest, creating a sort of crater. However, it didn't seem to have any real effect, and the giant quickly began to regenerate again.

"Well... it looks like we'll really have to kill this together," Dante remarked, feeling someone appearing beside him.

"Is it just me, or is the power scaling of the world broken?" Siren asked, looking at the monster. "I'm sure I could have killed something like this a year ago... No, even during the invasion, I could have taken this out with one hit, but now..." she said, sensing the uncertainty permeating her thoughts.

"Don't worry; you're right," Dante replied, gazing at the sky... Actually, beyond it...

'The stars are beginning to align... the Age of Stars is reaching its peak...'

"The planet is starting to converge; we'll likely experience a sudden shift in power, which is why the system is gradually adjusting. It sounds ridiculous, but even I feel my body heavier and my powers a bit out of control," Dante commented to the wind as he observed his surroundings.

The Valkyries were managing well against the hybrid hordes after Valentina allowed them to use everything they had.

"My body... feels heavy..." Lilith murmured as she stood up, having taken longer than necessary to recover.

"Are you okay?" Dante asked, and she nodded slightly. "I feel rusty... I should really work out more; anything wears me out," Lilith said as she stretched.

They sighed, seeing how the Demon Goddess seemed completely unconcerned about the situation, but Dante turned his attention back to the giant.

Dante observed the enormous creature before him, the giant slowly approaching, its gaze fixed and threatening. The monster's presence was oppressive, a brute force that made the air around vibrate with its malevolent essence. "So, shall we kill this thing?" he said, smiling, analyzing every detail of the beast that seemed to defy the laws of nature.

Valentina didn't hesitate. "Yes, let's." She was already in her full Primordial Vampire form, her aura pulsing with an almost palpable power. "Just don't underestimate this thing; I sense something strange."

Dante raised an eyebrow, his smile lingering, but a glint in his eyes indicated he understood the gravity of the situation. "Underestimating isn't my style. But I can't help but admire how beautiful you look like this," he added, his words almost teasing, a way to break the growing tension between them.

"Can you two stop flirting at a time like this?!" Siren interjected, preparing to attack the giant.

The giant snarled, a guttural sound that made the ground tremble. Dante felt the pressure from the creature intensify, as if it were feeding off the energy around them. "That noise isn't good," he murmured, sensing that the intensity of the battle was about to explode.

Valentina positioned Gungnir in her hand, ready for the attack. "I think it didn't take too kindly to us."

"What a shame," Dante said, a defiant tone in his voice. He readied himself, concentrating his energy as the black aura began to envelop him. "Now, let's do this." With a swift motion, he launched a bolt of energy towards the giant.

The energy sliced through the air, hitting the beast's chest with a force that should have incapacitated it. But to their surprise, the giant merely staggered back, the wound starting to regenerate at an alarming rate. "This isn't going to be easy, is it?" Dante remarked, glancing at Valentina with a look of frustration.

She gritted her teeth, determination unwavering in her gaze. "We need a better plan. It won't fall with a single blow."

"I agree. How about we test its defenses?" Dante suggested, his mind racing with strategies as he watched the giant recover. "If it heals quickly, we need to find out what's holding it together."

Valentina nodded, her expression resolute. "Then let's attack together. On my signal."

They both readied themselves, the air around them vibrating with the anticipation of battle. The giant, realizing it was the target, began to advance again, but Dante didn't hesitate. "Now!" he shouted, and both attacked simultaneously.

Dante's black energy collided with Valentina's radiant light from Gungnir, creating an explosion of force that illuminated the surrounding area. Dante saw the giant hesitate, a moment of surprise they could exploit.

"Keep going! Don't let it recover!" Valentina yelled, her voice slicing through the air like a blade. The Valkyries, seizing the order, joined in the attack, their synergy unleashing a wave of power that dealt a significant blow to the giant.

But, as expected, the monster didn't give in. It roared again, the sound reverberating in their bones, and began to strike. Its arms moved with devastating force, and Dante had to dodge quickly. "This is becoming a problem," he remarked, his voice calm yet tinged with tension.

"We need to ramp up the power. We can't let it regenerate!" Valentina replied, her expression fierce as she prepared for another strike.

Dante took a deep breath, feeling the energy around him flow. "Then let's do this!" With a dramatic gesture, he began to channel his strength, black flames swirling around his hands. "Get ready!"

A new bolt of energy was launched, more potent and concentrated, striking the monster squarely. The explosion was deafening, and Dante watched as the creature was pushed back, its body contorting in agony. "That's it! Now, Valentina!"

She didn't hesitate, leaping forward, Gungnir poised, ready to deliver the final blow. But just as her attack was about to make contact, the giant rose up, its regeneration kicking in full throttle.

"No! Not now!" Valentina screamed, desperate as she watched the creature's strength revive before her eyes.

Dante couldn't believe it. "This can't be happening," he whispered, feeling frustration and helplessness wash over him. "There has to be a way to stop it!"

"Look!" Valentina exclaimed, pointing at the sky. The atmosphere seemed to shift, charged with a strange energy. "The power is changing. Something is happening!"

The Valkyries were doing their best to hold back the approaching hordes of hybrids, but the weight of the battle was beginning to affect even the strongest among them. Lilith, standing next to Dante, was struggling. "My body... feels heavy," she murmured, trying to steady herself as she rose.

"Are you okay?" Dante asked, concern etched on his face. She nodded slightly, but the expression on her face revealed that she was fighting against something.

"It's like the energy around us is draining our strength," Lilith explained, her gaze drifting for a moment. "I... I can't concentrate."

"That's not good. We need to stick together and fight this," Dante said, his mind racing to find a solution.

The battle dragged on, and Dante felt the growing weight of the situation, as if something greater was conspiring to wear them down. The giant was regenerating his wounds at an insane speed, and even Valentina, in her full Primordial Vampire form, was finding it difficult to break through the creature's absurd defense. Lilith, always haughty, seemed to be losing her strength faster than he cared to admit.

"This monster... why does he seem so unbeatable?" Lilith struggled to maintain her balance, her energy being sucked from the environment around her.

"It's not just you, Lilith. Something is interfering with all of us," Dante said in a sharp tone, his gaze sharp as blades. "The convergence is distorting everything. The world is adjusting in ways that not even we can fully understand."

Valentina, panting, held Gungnir tightly, her eyes flashing with frustration and determination. "Damn it... He should have fallen with that blow."
