ALL NOVEL Chapter 38 Execution Part 2
"What do you mean?" asked Julius
"Well do you happen to know the story of that whip?" asked Zero
"It's a holy weapon forged by the alchemist Rinaldo Gandolfi for Leon Belmont." said Julius
"Yes, and it was forged with the vampire soul of his fiancée Sara Trantoul. It's a cursed item." said Zero
"What!" exclaimed Julius
"Well, it's pretty obvious that a human can't kill a creature as strong as Dracula without help. The vampire killer converts the souls of the vampires killed into strength for the wielder." said Zero
"You're lying!" yelled Julius
"Well, it's simply because you can't see souls. That weapon contains the soul of Sara and it looks mutilated and disgusting. The person who made it must have really hated vampires." said Zero
"Vampires are evil." said Julius
"Who decided that? Who decided humans are good and vampires are evil?" asked Zero
"So are saying humans are evil and vampires are good instead?" asked Julius
"No, I'm saying both species are neutral. There are good and bad vampires just like with humans." said Zero
"Vampires are creatures that feast on human blood!" yelled Julius
"Calm down. Humans eat other animals that's just how they were made. Vampires have to drink human blood that is how they were made. This is the year 2035 it is possible for vampires to obtain human blood without killing humans. So I think it's fine to end this feud and try to build a peaceful future." explained Zero
"Never Dracula must be exterminated!" yelled Julius as he reached for his vampire killer
"Now before we do that I still have to explain how this all started." said Zero
Zero went on to tell the story of Mathias Cronqvist the man who would become Dracula. In the world of knights and vampires who lacked education, Matthias was a genius tactician who had wisdom beyond his age and was called Cronqvist the Wise. Mathias's family collected books recording secret arts concerning alchemy, a science that experiments with the arcane, Mathias himself had a mastery of alchemy. His beloved wife, Elisabetha, died from illness while he was away on an expedition due to the pleading of his friend Leon Belmont. Mathias became grief-stricken and bedridden and Leon was forced to continue the campaigns without his friend. Later Leon's beloved Sara was kidnapped; Mathias told him that it was the doing of a vampire who had a castle in the east.
However, Mathias had deceived Leon. While deep in mourning, Mathias devised a plan to take revenge on God for stealing his beloved Elisabetha by becoming a vampire and living eternally. He manipulated Leon, Rinaldo, Sara, even the vampire Walter, and his monsters, in order to obtain a vampire's soul with the Crimson Stone, and with it, he was reborn as an immortal vampire. Leon was unable to kill Walter who had turned Sara into a vampire so she believing herself to be turning evil decided to sacrifice herself to strengthen his whip. With his new whip, Leon was able to defeat Walter and grieved for the loss of his beloved. He offered Leon to join him and become immortal because Leon suffered a similar loss. Leon refused Matthias, and while disappointed that Leon refused to see things his way, he fled by turning into a bat. Leon, as a result of Matthias's actions, had vowed that his clan would forever hunt him. As time went on, Mathias renamed himself Dracula, taken from the Romanian word "Dracul" meaning dragon and devil.
"That shows you Dracula is evil." said Julius
"Mathias never planned for the vampire whip to be made. It would be foolish if he did. It was due to the action of Leon and Rinaldo that led to her death." said Zero
"You're twisting the story." said Julius
"I have a question. What would Leon have done to Sara if he could have defeated the vampire without the sacrifice?" asked Zero
Julius remained silent because both men knew that he would have killed her since she was a vampire. The sacrifice gave him a reason to have her die without staining his hands. The Belmonts have always believed vampires to be evil and could never allow any to live to Leon she was dead the moment she became a vampire.
"Like I said this started with two women. Mathias despised God for Elisabetha so he became immortal to deny him his soul. Leon despised Mathias because his actions led to Sara becoming a vampire." said Zero
Julius took his hand off his vampire killer and sighed at the prospect that he had been fighting vampires for such a petty feud.
"See this was all caused by the poor decisions of two men." said Zero
"So you want me to allow vampires to do as they please?" asked Julius
"No, I want to try to create a world where vampires no longer need to kill humans for blood. If vampires still choose to attack humans then they can't blame humans for killing them." said Zero
"Why do you want to do this?" asked Julius
"Well firstly I am a vampire and secondly I need that to happen so that I can free my friend Dracula from his unfortunate fate." said Zero
"What unfortunate fate?" asked Julius
"Since Dracula denied God his soul he is being cruelly punished by God. He finds love with the same woman in each lifetime only to lose her and fall into darkness." said Zero in a solemn tone
"That is quite cruel. Can you even accomplish that?" said Julius in an equally solemn tone
"Well I can with both of your help." said Zero
Julius turned around and saw a black-haired man. The man Genya Arikado walked towards them and stood facing Julius and Zero.
"You must be that partner Yoko Belnades spoke of." said Genya
"Yes it's a pleasure to meet you Adrian or would you prefer Alucard." said Zero
"Alucard! The son of Dracula!" said a surprised Julius
"Yes he is, so what can I do for you Adrian?" asked Zero
"What are your intentions for Soma?" asked Genya
"My intention are to free your father and mother from the grasp of God." said Zero
"My mother is long dead! Her soul has passed on to heaven!" yelled Genya
"Unfortunately that's false. Lisa Tepes was reincarnated as Mina Hakuba the girl Soma loves. Your parent are truly soulmates they fall in love with each other despite not having their memories." said Zero
"Mina is my mother!" said a surprised Genya
"Yes, she is. I assume you heard the story I told Julius." said Zero
"Wait he was here back then? How long were you hiding?" asked Julius
"No, he was here before you arrived. He was hiding so I didn't bother with him." explained Zero
"So will you two help me free Dracula and in turn free this world?" asked Zero
"Yes if I can save both my parent unlike before." answered Genya with conviction
"Yes to protect humans and end the threat of Dracula." answered Julius
"I look forward to working with both of you. Yoko will be joining us soon and when she arrives we'll begin executing my plan. We only have one chance to do this and we have to succeed" said Zero
