The Last Vampire [DXD]

Volume 2 - Chapter 3

"Arkab? Brother.. I never knew that I was apart of such a strong family.."

Arkab outstretched his palm towards Akihiko and chants silently and Akihiko's fatigue as well as he damaged he took from earlier erased easily. He smirked and handed his brother a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.

Accepting the handkerchief and wiping his sweat, Akihiko stared Arkab before speaking. "Our brother, Vali, has a house near here. I can take you to him if you'd like."

"Vali? I haven't seen him in eight years. I should go and pay my brother a visit. Take me to him, Brother."

"A fascinating story. What the hell are you doing here though, Arkab? Besides holding our brother's body captive.."

"I simply missed my little brothers and wanted to come by. As for the preservation of our dear baby brother's body, I was figuring out ways myself to retrieving his soul safely but I got lazy and started watching anime."

"Oi! You stopped saving my original body to watch a damned anime!" Akihiko said, with a tick popping up on his forehead.

Arkab chuckled a bit before approaching Vali for a hug but he turned it down. "I don't think I want to hug you, Brother. After what happened with him that thankful he doesn't remember, I don't think I can forgive you."

Brushing off Vali's harsh words Arkab created a beer from thin air using his magic. Taking a swig of it and sitting down. "I know where our other siblings reside. Even now, in different parts of the world, I can sense them with my magic."

"Then take us to them. And revive our brother into his right body." Vali demanded.

"Hmph, I will if you two can beat me in a fight.." Arkab says as he stands and chants a teleportation spell. Soon, they arrive at the place where Akihiko's true body was being hid at.

Observing his own soulless body, he cringed before narrowing his eyes at his brother. "So we have to beat you in a fight?"

Vali scoffs before summoning his Divine Dividing and flies in. Cocking back his fist, Vali punches ar Arkab but he missed. With a gush of fierce wind blowing him back, Vali growls and reappears behind Arkab.

Coming at his sides, Akihiko dashes in and out of Arkab's sight hoping to catch him off guard.

BOOM!

The impact of Arkab's fist planting into Akihiko's blew him back and on the ground. He stood up and tried to punch at him again. Though with his human body, he was slower, but it didn't halt his determination to beat Arkab.

Smirking, he taunted Akihiko and Vali as they were not able to land on a hand on him. Vali scuffed and zoomed towards Arkab with his hand outstretched forming a ball of Dark Magic. The magic was weaker than Arkab's was but it still would be strong enough to halt him for a bit.

Directing the blast at his older brother, Vali roared before driving his fist through his brother's chest. "Agh!"

Kicking him in the chest and making his white haired brother stagger back, Arkab's eyes flickered red as his wound healed instantly.

"Isn't the whole fighting thing pointless anyways, Brother?" Akihiko questions, sitting down on the ground panting. His two brothers, who had the luxury of not tiring in battle so easy, laughed amongst themselves.

"Honestly I like you better like this. The brother who doesn't need to compel others or always drain everyone of their blood. My brother is human form can remain some of his humanity. The brother from the days of childhood is long gone. Although we have all changed, I believe our brother had the worse changes. Maybe we should allow him to retain this way." Arkab said with a smirk while stroking his Crystal Ball.

"I will be damned if you don't give me back my body... I will be fine. Just give me back my body." He pleaded while his brother just stared at him with an blank expression.

"Okay, okay. Whatever brother. Don't ever say that I haven't done anything for you." He said with a smirk before flailing his hands in the airs. He chanted and his hands radiated a strange green aura.

A ball of white energy with a taint of black appeared in the sky. It was the soul of Akihiko Blackwell. For the second time, his soul was being transmitted into the body of another. But again, this body was his true self.

Holding the soul of his younger brother in the sky, Arkab inched over towards his body and yanked the White Oak Stake out of Akihiko's chest. His body was still desiccated but his chest slowly healed itself.

Thrusting his soul back into his chest, Arkab chanted his magic spell more as his eyes glowed brightly.

"Agh! What the hell? I... I died." He mumbled as he looked at his hands. He was still gray in color but he looked normal otherwise.

(I know I said that he would look like Basara Toujou but this look fits him more so this is his confirmed look.)

Sprinting forward and grabbing ahold of Arkab's throat, Akihiko smiled at his brother.

"And who might you be? I sense a Vampire aura but you have the same strength as me. Might you be like the Bastard Dragon?"

"There he is. The almighty asshole we call brother." Vali says with an annoyed expression.

"Take us to meet our other siblings now, Arkab. I need their strength as well for what is to come." Says Vali as he walks over to his brothers and pries  off Akihiko's hand. He looks at Vali with a smirk and holds out his hand for a fist bump.

"Well Bastard, I think whatever happens will be extremely entertaining for us. Let's go find the others. I'll be sure to kill anyone who stands in my way."
