Chapter 243

Rin Tohsaka: "'Legend of Dracula'? What kind of Noble Phantasm is this, why is Vlad III so repulsed?"】

Feng Xi: "What name are you most familiar with for Vlad III?"】

Rin Tohsaka: "The most familiar name? I remember it seems to be called..."】

Waver: "I see, I understand."】

Waver: "Vampire, Dracula."】

Rin Tohsaka: "Right, it's the vampire Dracula!"】

Rin Tohsaka: "So, the effect of this Noble Phantasm is!"】

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Becoming that legendary vampire, Count Dracula."】

King of Conquerors: "Vampire? Didn't expect this Impaler to have such a legend."】

Rin Tohsaka: "However, Dracula's reputation should be very big, right? In that case, the strength should also be very strong, but why is Vlad III so repulsed?"】

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Because for Vlad III, this is slander and humiliation."】

Feng Xi: "The so-called Count Dracula is not a title Vlad III had during his lifetime, but one forced upon him in the future."】

Waver: "The name Dracula first appeared in Bram Stoker's 18th-century novel 'Dracula,' the protagonist of the novel, modeled after Vlad III, and later became the representative of vampires."】

Waver: "However, the reality is that Vlad III was a devout Catholic."

Kayneth: "A devout believer, inexplicably crowned with the identity of a vampire, naturally would be extremely repulsed by this power."

Rin Tohsaka: "I see."

【"I, am definitely not a vampire... I am not, not!!!"】

【Vlad III let out a roar full of hatred and despair, constantly making his final resistance, but his body still moved uncontrollably.】

【"No, you are a vampire."】

【Darnic said coldly: "Vampire Dracula, a pathetic monster forced to bear infamy due to creation, I command with the second Command Spell, 'Survive until you get the Greater Grail'!"】

【"Darnic!!!"】

【Vlad III used his last bit of sanity and finally regained control of his body for a moment, roaring and killing toward Darnic.】

【And Darnic, while showing a faint smile, gladly accepted this blow.】

【"Ha, haha, hahaha..."】

【His chest was pierced, blood scattered, and Darnic's body fell, but a crazy laugh came from his mouth.】

【"How rude, my Servant! As an apology, please drink my blood!"】

【"You are indeed a vampire, the King who rules the dark night! You don't need any wishes at all. Just leave my dreams, my wishes, and my existence behind!"】

【"I command with the third Command Spell, 'Engrave my existence into your soul, Lancer'!"】

【"What!"】

【This time, not only Vlad III, but everyone who saw this scene was stunned.】

【Servants can devour human souls and convert them into magic power; this is a privilege they possess as spiritual bodies, and what humans can do is only transfer them to containers and observe them.】

【But, Darnic is an exception.】

【He focused his attention on the nutrient - the soul - which could not be converted through magic and was not very useful.】

【He succeeded; he had spent decades researching magic that could turn other people's souls into his own food.】

【This magic is a complete evil path, because for the sake of his own life, he would not hesitate to smash a baby's skull.】

【At the same time, this magic is also very dangerous; as long as there is a slight deviation, it will immediately lead to death.】

【So, the number of times he devoured souls in these sixty years was actually only three times, and they were all rituals performed under the most perfect conditions he could consider.】

【Despite this, the adaptation rate of the body and soul has already become lower than sixty percent.】

【I'm afraid that even if the next ritual is perfectly executed, it will only become another person named 'Darnic Prestone Yggdmillennia'; even if he possesses the memories, he will definitely no longer be himself.】

【In other words, Darnic's current attempt to devour a Servant's soul without performing a ritual is simply a complete suicide, the kind where the soul flies away and scatters.】

【"..."】

Seeing this, the Black faction fell into an eerie silence.】

Everyone could feel that a killing intent stronger than before was gathering on Vlad III.】

【"Hehe! Dar, ni, c!"】

【Vlad III was already laughing from anger, waved his hand and directly released the Noble Phantasm toward Darnic.】

【"Be careful!"】

【Finn hurriedly picked up Darnic to dodge, while also feeling a bit helpless.】

【Darnic, this guy, how did he become like this after not seeing him for so many years, actually coming up with such a crazy operation as engraving souls.】

【And under the orders of Gordes and others, Siegfried, Astolfo, and others quickly stepped forward to stop Vlad III.】

【The entire Black faction was in a mess, and there was no time to participate in the subsequent videos and answering questions.】

Waver: "Darnic, this guy really knows how to play."

Kayneth: "Hehe, Vlad III must be furious now."

Rin Tohsaka: "The Black faction suddenly has no sound, it must be in chaos."

Achilles: "This development is really unexpected."

Semiramis: "And the operation is really bold."

Kirei Kotomine: "It seems the Black faction doesn't need to worry anymore."

【"This is absurd!"】

【Atalanta, who had been observing the battle, said in a deep voice: "Darnic, no, the current you, are neither Darnic nor Vlad III."】

【"That's right, Archer."】

【'Vlad III', no, it should be said that the person wearing Vlad III's skin, who was close to Darnic, used a mixed voice of Vlad III and Darnic.】

【"Even if, through the third Command Spell, the Heroic Spirit soul named Vlad III is processed into the limit state most easily fused with me, it is impossible to dominate a Heroic Spirit, let alone devour it."】

【"However, engraving it is still possible. Engrave my thoughts of nearly a hundred years, and my obsession with the Holy Grail, onto it!"】

【"I am no longer Darnic now, nor Vlad III, just a monster seeking the Holy Grail, I don't mind that..."】

【In the original Heroic Spirit summoning, even with the help of a catalyst, there is still a Heroic Spirit summoned that is similar to oneself.】

【Clearing the infamy, this is the common obsession of Darnic and Vlad III, which also makes them very similar in spirit.】

【Based on this, plus the binding force of the Command Spell, engraving an inherent existence like 'Darnic' into the Heroic Spirit soul is by no means impossible.】

【This Jewel Jewel Mage's obsession is indeed slightly superior to the Heroic Spirit.】

【"Stop! Stop, stop, stop! Hurry up and stop!"】

【Vlad III shouted desperately with a resentful posture: "I am the King of Wallachia, the son of Vlad II, don't come in here!!!"】

【Unfortunately, the wood has become a boat, and Darnic is parasitizing on Vlad III's soul in a nasty way equivalent to cancer cells.】

【"Alright, in this way you are me, and I am you, King! No, vampire!"】

【"Damn it..."】

Kirei Kotomine: "Hmm? Did it actually succeed!"

Waver: "In a sense, Darnic can be considered a genius."

Kayneth: "What is this, a nondescript thing."

What Darnic wanted to do was to become an existence like a Pseudo-Servant, but his series of operations turned himself into a crazy monster.】

【"Pfft!"】

【Although he was shocked by Darnic's crazy operation, Karna still reacted quickly and did not miss this opportunity, piercing the heart of 'Vlad III', where the Spirit Core was located, with a spear from behind.】

【However, 'Vlad III' had no fluctuations, and didn't even look back.】

【From the pierced part, an unknown object like a black shadow flowed out.】

【Karna: "Although there is a definite feeling, if it becomes like that, is it ineffective?"】

【Atalanta: "Lancer, is even your spear ineffective?"】

【"If it were before turning into a vampire, this blow should have been able to shatter the Spirit Core and kill him."】

【Karna said in a deep voice: "However, this one in front of us is not the Black Lancer, Vlad III. It is a creature known and feared by the whole world - a vampire."】

【Bats gathered and restored Vlad III's appearance, but the whole person had changed greatly.】

【The elegant black noble clothes were torn and became tattered. What was revealed from the inside was not flesh and blood, but shadows that constantly leaked out with mass.】

【That pair of eyes, although still cold, no longer had the previous wisdom.】

【And the spear that Vlad III had always used seemed to have turned into ashes because his consciousness disappeared, as if declaring the disappearance of Lancer Vlad III.】

【Karna: "Completely a monster."】

【The creature in front of him now is neither Darnic nor Vlad III, but a monster named Dracula who possesses Darnic's obsession.】

Rin Tohsaka: "Although he became a monster, his strength has indeed improved a lot; maybe he can really Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take back the Greater Grail."

Jeanne: "No, such a creature should not exist in the world and must be eliminated as soon as possible."

Waver: "In other words, Darnic went to great lengths, but instead put himself in a more unfavorable situation."
