Yeah so I feel like I'm dragging the magic training arc a bit, so I'm just going to jump the timeline ahead by two days.(also sorry for not updating my fics for months, I was feeling burned out)
Anyways I'm writing on my phone since my tablet is dead, so enjoy the chapter.
———————————————————————————————————-
"Hah…hah…how long have we been here again?" I ask to myself as I lay on my back, the remains of a lava golem herd surrounding me, each bearing only fist marks, and one with a bite mark thanks to Merleona throwing me deep into the herd.
"It'll toughen you up!! Now I won't move till you defeat each and everyone one of them!!" She said as I flew jaw first into the neck of an unfortunate lava golem, killing it instantly.
"Are we sure Merleona isn't related to the hanma's?" I ask turning toward the people reading this.
I heard the sound of footsteps behind me as I look over and see Merleona with a wide smile, her single fang showing as she looked at the carnage.
"Not bad for a first attempt! You managed to deal with all hundred of them within two days." She said tossing me what looked like a sandwich and a container of water.
I ate the sandwich with ravenous fervor as Merleona took a seat across from me sandwich in hand as she looks over at me eating like a ravenou animal, "slow down, you're going to choke at that rate." She said as I stopped biting my food and taking a deep swig of water before burping.
"Hooh…thanks for the food." I tell her as her face was a shade darker on her cheeks.
"I-it was nothing! You haven't eaten in a few days, and forgot you weren't me." She said with a cough as I silently giggle at the new side of her.
"You'd definitely make a great wife someday." I say teasingly despite being serious, she would definitely be a great partner.
Merleona froze midbite, her face slowly getting redder as her face started to look the same shade of red as the flowing magma, "y-you don't mean that!" She shouted not noticing her own smile as she slapped my back like a certain tan, black haired junior to her art creating senpai.
"But I do mean it." I counter, taking a quick bite of sandwich as her face went a bit redder as I swallow and continue what I was saying, "you may not realize it but you have both the qualities of a wife and the makings of a good leader, so much so you could command a legion of magic knights to fight an impossible battle and even when you lose you all would still put up a good fight." I conclude as I close my eyes as I savor another bite of sandwich before slowly standing up, dusting the sandwich crumbs off.
(Hey can someone confirm what I said, im only two third into the manga, im at the point of the demon invasion arc.)
"Well then, im going to go for a walk. Call me if you need me." I tell her as I slowly walk down the trail, leaving a still steaming Merleona alone.
(Meanwhile, in the demon realm)
"!…how is this possible?!"
In the deepest, forgotten part of the demon realm, a castle identicle to Alucard's stood tall, and deep within its halls of lesser demons and monsters, in a throne room sat a figure, in his hand is a glass of blood red wine.
"It's been seven centuries since I was felled by both Julius belmont and my son,
I was contempt with my death as I saw my son's face one final time, but why is he here?" The figure asked as he looked up towards the boundary between the demon world and the human world in the distance as he felt his son's presence on the other side.
'Don't tell me the belmonts killed him along with me!' The figure thought, his fanged teeth grinding against each other in anger as he remembered that cursed clan, as well as that cursed whip.
*crash*
The figure threw his wine glass away, the glass shattering upon impact of the black obsidian floor as he shook those thoughts away as he looked at a portrait of his wife, "oh Lisa…if only you were here… maybe then we could be a family again." He said to the portrait, stroking the woman's face as a tear was unknowingly falling off his face.
" I must have gone soft." The figure muttered to himself as his deepest desire was to see his son again, to be a family again, but he wasn't mad at those thoughts.
The figure slowly stood from his throne, his full height of 8 feet showing as he snapped his finger.
"Succubus." He said as a summoning circle appeared a few feet away as a figure slowly appeared before the circle dimmed and the figure was kneeling before the figure, a woman with deep red hair, she also wore a black leather corset, and on her back were two black leather wings.

"What is your bidding, my master? The figure known as succubus asked as the figure turned to face his servant, "investigate the human world, I feel my son's presence in the human world." He said as the succubus looked up at her master in shock.
'The darkling is here?!' Succubus thought in her shock before speaking, "are you certain?" She asked as the figure nodded.
"I wish to see him again." Was all he said as the succubus understood and slowly rose up and gave her master a bow.
"Consider it done." She said as a ray of moonlight shown into the room illuminating the figures pale face.
"Lord Dracula."
———————————————————————————————————-
So I got two routes I could go with Dracula and my Alucard, but I'm not sure which would be best.
1. The family reconciliation route-He offers a contract to Alucard so he can see his son again, while also being a father again
2. The redemption route- after succubus finds alucard she summons his astral from to the demon world and Alucard meets Dracula again, but they become future enemies turned allies during the angel invasion (I skipped ahead and saw angels fighting Asta so I put two and two together), and in order to save Alucard sacrifices himself to take down angel Julius.
But besides that i hope my flow is back because I missed this, so I'll see you all next time, peace😁✌️
