Chapter 782 Clouds

'Hehehe, so that's what you look like, heir to the Nameless King...' Alucard muttered inwardly as a devious smirk appeared on his face.

Several bats stared intently at Wain, examining every detail of him as if he were an exhibit in a museum.

"Krakos... Well done for bringing me the blood of the heir of the Nameless King, it's the best gift I've ever received." Alucard grinned as his aura intensified, giving Alia goosebumps.

"Heir of Nameless King...? Gael uttered with a confused look as he frowned, then his eyes opened wide as understanding came to him and he looked toward the shining tree.

"It is there, right?" Gael asked in a serious voice.

"Exactly. As I said earlier, your intuition has never failed you. You sensed right away that something interesting was out there." Alucard said in a sly manner.

"What...? Does Nameless King have an heir? What does he look like?" Alia asked with a dazed look as her eyes went wide.

"He looks strong... Damn strong, but unfortunately, he is still in the Fourth Chronicle. He still has a long way to go before he reaches the same heights as Nameless King. If he ever succeeds, of course." Alucard whispered while looking at Wain through the eyes of the bats.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

A powerful stream of energy burst out from Wain as it turned into black flames that rained down on the bats. Alucard immediately ordered them to get out of there, but by the time his order reached their minds, only charred bones remained of the bats.

"Damn... He killed my bats... He's definitely not the type to like other's gazes." Alucard shook his head as his gaze shifted to the other bats, "Okay, back to business."

"Gael, over the last few hundred years, some of the Progenitors have changed completely." Alucard said with a serious expression.

"What do you mean?" Gael frowned.

"Well... Right now, an Angel Progenitor is fighting someone... If you concentrate, you can feel how fierce their battle is." Alucard uttered as he turned to the east.

Gael closed his eyes as thousands of streams of different energies headed toward him. He quickly identified the strongest of them and saw two silhouettes that were fighting many kilometers away.

"Yeah... I can feel it... It's definitely two Angels and one of them is the Progenitor... but I can't figure out which one..." Gael muttered while in confusion.

He prided himself on his intuition, so not being able to determine the energy of the Progenitor was unaccustomed to him.

"You know why you can't do it, don't you?" Alucard grinned.

"Fuck... They are equal in strength... But, how could a simple Angel become as strong as the Progenitor? Though I cannot see their faces I sense that there is no winner in their battle yet. The outcome remains unknown until the end..." Gael uttered with wide eyes.

"That's what I told you. Come on, let's go see how this ends." Alucard said before stepping forward and the space beside him distorted.

"Hmm? What about the heir to the Nameless King?" Gael raised an eyebrow while in confusion, "I mean... Fighting two beings on the Transcendence Stage is curious, especially considering they're Angels, but I honestly don't care if that bastard gets killed and someone becomes the Progenitor of Angels instead. The heir to the Nameless King is definitely a more interesting figure than those two."

"Well, you may be right, but this young man is still too weak to participate in the Fifth Chronicle world. Our presence alone might hinder his path." Alucard said with an ice-cold look.

"What...? Are you saying that because you don't want to disturb him, you're going to miss such a show?" Gael asked while in disbelief since it wasn't at all like Alucard.

Alucard was silent for a while, taking a deep breath until finally, a sinister grin appeared on his face, "Of course not! It's just that I'm sure if we leave now, we'll have to wait too long. The battle of the Angels will be over much faster than the business of the heir of the Nameless King in the Shining Tree.

Whooooooooosh.

Alucard's silhouette blurred as he turned in a flash as well as Krakos, that immediately followed him.

"Damn... I sure as hell want to go to that tree, but he didn't tell me about the other Progenitors on purpose, did he?" Gael complained lightly while shaking his head as he glanced at Alia, "Come on. Seeing the two creatures fight on the Transcendence Stage will be good for you."

Alia nodded as she approached Gael. He took her hand and pointed his sword forward as if about to pierce space.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Space trembled as waves of ash appeared out of nowhere. They completely covered them, then a bright white flame lit up. The ash disappeared as well as Gael with Alia.

After a while, the four of them were in the place where the Progenitor of Angels had been for hundreds of years. Around it was thousands of clouds and soaring islands, on which grew trees with golden foliage.

In the center was the most massive island, which used to be considered the brightest and most magnificent place in the world. The concentration of light energy here was higher than anywhere else. Even the Progenitors of the other Races envied the Angel Progenitor because of how majestic his castle was like the Pantheon of ancient gods from myths and legends.

"What the hell is going on here...?" Gael muttered with a dazed look as what he saw struck him.

"Well, well, it looks like not only the Angel Progenitor is about to change, but also their whole world. Look at that..." Alucard said with a mad smile on his face, "Finally, this place doesn't look as disgusting as it used to!"

The shining island was partially flooded with thick darkness as the white castle was almost completely destroyed while every second two flashes, white and black created new collapses bringing disaster.
