Code 1: Alucard Ultimate

Chapter 2

"The cage is open. We have to move out now!! Retreat to our King Estes!!"

The captured elves stormed out, except for the two female ones.

While Alucard did not know who Estes, the Elf King, was, one of the elves jumped to him and hugged him tightly in relief. The demon hunter, showing his soft side, hugged back with a smile on his face.

Confused that the two elves he met were females, Alu asked the blonde hugging elf in red that carried a bow on her right hand, while letting her stand on her two feet.

ELVEN ARCHER
"Thank you so much for saving us! Because of you, we can go back to our kingdom to see our King Estes!"

ALUCARD
"By the way, who is 'King Estes'?"

ELVEN ARCHER
"Our king. The King of the Moon Elves."

ALUCARD
"Moon elves... interesting. So you, too, are a moon elf."

The elven archer introduced herself.

ELVEN ARCHER
"Indeed, I'm Miya. And how about you? You are no elf, but how could you save us from these demons earlier?"

ALUCARD
"Well, I just did my job to hunt demons. It's a job that I dedicate my life to, all for the glory of a lost loved one in battle. And by the way, just call me Alucard."

Alucard and Miya shook hands cordially, as the second elf, dressed in dark purple, leaned on her for a while.

MIYA (elven archer)
"It's my pleasure to meet you, Alucard. But there is another elf that also joined us in witnessing your fight earlier. A dark elf, though..."

The dark elf walked towards Miya and took her time speaking in front of the infamous demon hunter.

DARK ELF
"And I'm Karina, one of the dark elves. Traitorous dark elves, rather..."

ALUCARD
"Hold on for a second... First a moon elf, then a dark elf. Are you two related?"

MIYA
"Yes, Alucard, but we're not on the same place where we live."

While Karina and Alucard shook hands, Miya curiously asked him why he hunted demons.

KARINA (dark elf)
"Alucard, my pleasure to meet you. And this archer is right. I came from the Shadow Swamp unlike her from the Lunar Temple. These demons that were slain by your sword actually served Alice, and I knew her master plan since then."

But Alucard remained silent until Miya raised a question.

MIYA
"Anyway, Alucard, why do you choose to hunt demons?"

ALUCARD
"It's a long story; you may be bored listening to what I speak."

MIYA
"Bored? We are even looking forward to listening to your--"

ALUCARD
"It's a sad story that no one dared to hear."

KARINA
"We all have sad stories to tell, Alucard. So why can't you just let us listen?"

MIYA
"Uhm... I think we cannot force this human to tell what we ask for. I can tell his feelings right now. He looks so depressed and grieved, or maybe he was seeking vengeance to these demons just like he said..."

KARINA
"Even I could feel depressed and grieved when I told to King Estes about how we, the dark elves, had been through since the day the rest of my fellow kind betrayed me... Possibly the same for you, Miya."

MIYA
"If that is the case, I guess we have to go back to King Estes right away. But what about Alucard?"

ALUCARD
"Miya, I'm fine, okay? And both of you, just go back to your Lunar Temple first for the sake of safety. I'm pleased seeing you elves safe from these demons, but if you want to meet me again, it would be risky if you would mind. Demons can come for us anytime they want. This is my warning, so go now, there's no time for goodbyes."
