Nameless King

Chapter 1096 Pet\'s Blood

For the sake of achieving their goal, the people were willing to do anything, including Alucard. To make Kraken his pet and give the powerful space monster a name. He did everything for that, he achieved his goal, but the result he got was completely different from what he expected.

"Oh... This is unexpected..." Liang muttered with a gulp.

Nitra and Nila\'s eyes went wide as they stared intently at Kraken, who actually turned out to be a woman instead of a man, and she possessed a shocking beauty.

When monsters took the humanoid form they could have an attractive or frightening appearance, each monster had its own unique look. However, very rarely they were cute, beautiful girls with chubby forms, as it contradicted the worldview of monsters where the most important thing was strength and nothing but strength.

Such looks, which Nitra, Nila, and the other women in the audience immediately began to envy, were very rare. Something like this was only possible if the monster had unique skills and Kraken fell under that description.

"Wait... Is this really happening...?" Alucard muttered in disbelief looking at Kraken.

"I\'m sorry... I just didn\'t know how to speak..." The girl struggled to utter, it seemed to take a lot of effort to pronounce each word. She acted like a newborn baby, but she quickly adapted to the situation.

Remaining silent, Alucard slowly turned to Liang, Nitra, and Nila, then his gaze went to his friend.

Gael shook his head. There was nothing he could say or advise, everything was already done as it was named. All Alucard had to do was accept the reality that he had been working toward himself through the most difficult of trials.

Wain\'s eyebrow raised, even to him what had happened was a surprise. Sven, Marlis, and Osvald were no exception, they glanced over, trying to find an answer, but all they saw in each other\'s eyes was puzzlement.

"Well... It seems none of us expected something like this to happen. Although, in our case, it wasn\'t a big deal, but Alucard\'s clearly in trouble now." Wain muttered in an awkward tone.

Sven sighed, "One of the strongest monsters became the Vampire Progenitor\'s pet and was given a male-typical name and was actually a girl with an enchanting appearance... Honestly, if I hadn\'t seen it, I wouldn\'t have believed it. Only Alucard could do something so crazy and end up so wrong."

Step. Step. Step. Step.

Alucard slowly approached Kraken with eyes wide open, full of wonder and puzzlement at the same time.

Alucard stopped, took a deep breath, and tilted his head, "How about another name? Obviously, that one doesn\'t suit you at all."

"Agh...?" Kraken opened her eyes wide. She gasped, asking, "Is it possible to change a name...? I don\'t think we can do that..."

Alucard shook his head, "Nah, your real name will forever be Kraken now. I\'m sorry, but there\'s no way I could have guessed you were a girl, though that\'s pretty weird. I was sure I\'d recognize a girl even if I went blind. Anyway, you don\'t always have to say your real name."

"What...? Then how am I supposed to communicate with others...?" Kraken muttered, pressing her palm to her chest and lowering her gaze downward.

"You\'ll just use an alias or a simplified version of your real name. Nothing complicated or scary about it. Either way, don\'t forget that you\'re mine now, whoever you are and whatever name you have." Alucard said calmly, looking confidently at Kraken.

Kraken raised her eyes, meeting his gaze. Kraken had an attractive appearance, but in some ways, she was impossible to compare to Alucard.

From the perspective of the monster that Kraken was, aesthetic appearance and strength were the most important things, to her Alucard was the supreme being, however, she wasn\'t the only one who felt that way.

"Then... What simple name should I have...?" Kraken asked, in a trembling voice.

Alucard shrugged, "I don\'t know. It\'s your decision. Pick a name you like. That\'s what everyone else will call you."

Kraken nodded, touching her lush lips. She stared at one point for a while, trying to choose a name for herself. It was obvious that she was worried and wasn\'t at all sure of her decision, but after a while the frown disappeared from her face and her gaze became pure and clear.

"I made it up!" Kraken exclaimed.

Alucard raised an eyebrow, "Speak. I\'m listening to you. Just like everyone else!"

Whooooooosh.

Alucard swung his hand creating multiple streams of blood that spread across the open space. Some of the blood streams went beyond the open space into the Colosseum, heading towards the spectators.

The Colosseum\'s barrier easily protected them, but everyone held their breath, no one daring to speak or whisper. All eyes were on Kraken, waiting for her next words as if their lives depended on it.

"I want to be called Krana!" The girl exclaimed with a happy smile on her face.

Alucard nodded, crossing his arms over his chest, "So be it. You have all heard her, her name is now Krana! I forbid anyone but me to address her by her real name!"

The audience could only nod, no one was going to argue with Alucard who before their eyes had won the battle against the World of Darkness.

"Oh, that\'s interesting." Wain smirked, rubbing his chin thoughtfully, "Does this mean that if I do this I can easily piss off Alucard?"

Sven smiled slightly, "Well, well, it\'s kinda weird that we were thinking the same thing, don\'t you think?"

Wain didn\'t answer anything, he just threw a quick glance at Sven and went back to watching the battle.

Gael sighed, "Hey! Are you done? Actually, there was supposed to be a fight between me and Ereg today. Alucard, you\'ve taken up too much of our time. That\'s not polite at all!"

Alucard shrugged, "Sorry, I was just doing what I had to do. I won\'t interfere with your fight again, I promise. However, there\'s one thing I just have to do otherwise none of this will make sense."

Gael gave him a questioning look, as did Ereg. Alucard often spoke in ways that no one understood, he was a real master at it, all just to end up surprising his audience. He was a Vampire not only because of the blood but also because of his thirst for attention absorption.

Whoooooooooosh.

Alucard turned into a bloody blob, quickly finding himself in front of Krana, whose pupils narrowed. She was ready to attack, due to Alucard\'s threatening aura, but her instincts were surprisingly calm. She didn\'t understand how this was possible.

A monster of her level naturally felt threatened, Krana was completely sure that now Alucard was going to harm her somehow. However, at the same time she felt completely calm, in fact, she had nothing to worry about.

"Oh, your instincts are at their highest level. That\'s good." Alucard smirked, slowly taking Krana by the chin and lifting up.

Their eyes met, while Alucard looked down at her, arrogant and majestic. Then, in a heartbeat, Alucard turned into a shadow and his long fangs found themselves sinking into Krana\'s neck.

Gael\'s eyebrow rose up as he tilted his head.

"Damn... That asshole never changes. He\'s already kissed or drank blood from four different girls this day and they were all from different races... It\'s a real marathon in his performance." Gael took a deep breath while shaking his head.

Ereg just stared at one point, rubbing his cheek. He was the kind of guy who would rather do something like this in a hidden place where no one would see them. However, Alucard didn\'t worry about that. The only thing that mattered to him was the fulfillment of his desires.

Blood trickled darkly down Krana\'s neck while her heart raced. She didn\'t know how to react, since no creature had ever touched her before, let alone had a vampire drink her blood. It was simply impossible.

After a while, Alucard pulled his head back, pulling out his long fangs. With them, he could both rip the dragon\'s hide apart and leave two neat dots in the creature\'s neck, bleeding slightly.

"Hmm... What an unusual flavor..." Alucard muttered, appraising Krana\'s blood.

"Agh...?" Krana was surprised, as were Gael and the other Progenitors.

They realized that over hundreds of years, Alucard had tasted the blood of just about every creature in this universe. Even Wain was no exception, though it had happened much later.

Krana was one of the few unique cases where Alucard was unfamiliar with the taste of blood.

"Hmm... It\'s pleasant, like an expensive wine, but there\'s something else unusual here... It\'s like this blood is affecting me somehow." Alucard muttered, trying to understand the secret of Krana\'s blood.

Then, his eyes shone brightly with a violet light and he, in an instant, turned into a stone statue. His posture remained the same, perhaps Alucard himself didn\'t realize what had happened.
