65 A Perfect Lullaby
Gabriel: What's this? A family meeting?
He was a bit surprised that almost the entire Shuzen family was here, the only ones missing are Kokoa, and Iss-
Gabriel: Nevermind…
Issa was right behind them… No, wait… That's a doppelganger, it was impossible for him being here, and he was too weak to be him.
Gabriel: So, where's the leader? If everyone is here then I will make the job faster.
And his wish turned half-real when many vampires appeared, surrounding Gabriel and Moka, however the Leader was not visible yet. Gabriel smirked and used his tail to break the barrier around Moka, before it coiled around her waist and lifted her up.
Moka: W-What…?
Then Moka was placed on Gabriel's back and the latter said.
Gabriel: Hold on my back, this will be a trip full of bumps.
Moka: But I can also fight…
Gabriel: I don't care, I want to end this as fast as I can, I don't want any surprise from your stepmother, and if you use your full power you will awaken Alucard.
Moka: ...Alright, be careful, they are strong…
Gabriel: Hahaha! Hey Moka.
Moka: Hm?
Gabriel: I never showed you how I am at my 100%, right?
Moka: Huh?
Gabriel crouched down and used his Battle Form, now that he rescued Moka, he didn't need to worry about Alucard's awakening, and there isn't any surprise since the only person connected to Alucard was Miyabi, who was eaten from him.
In short… This is checkmate, since the boss didn't show up, it means he or she is busy or… It was Miyabi… He is the best candidate to be the leader of Fairy Tale, his main body is closed here, he was even stronger than Gyokuro, Moka's stepmother…
There is just no possibility to wake up Alucard, until he has Moka on his back, he already won.
Gabriel: Moka, the thing that will happen now will be a bit out from my character… Close your eyes, tighten your hold around me, and listen to my voice...
Moka tightened her hold around his armored body, and closed her eyes, now, Gabriel held a creepy murderous smile on his face that was scarily similar to Meruem's excited face, while his pupils turned in the size of needles, he completely released his Nen at the 100%, and boosted it with Ren.
The Nen that was contained in that body of his didn't exploded at the sudden release, or it got wild… Like miasma, it came out as smoke and stood low in the ground, the miasma was colored with a dark violet color mixed with black smoke.
But when it touched the living beings in the room, they were unable to move anymore, as if their blood froze into ice…
It was even worse for Moka, who was literally at physical contact distance with him, she had the idea to run away from him, but a relaxing sound reached her ears.
Gabriel: How was I supposed to know
Just how perfect you would be
My love grew with your little heart
A miracle it seems to me
…
Moka's ears were charmed from that song, she didn't recognize it anywhere, but this was the "A Perfect Lullaby", a song that didn't come from this world...
Gabriel: All the riches in the world
May not fall into your hands
Life won't always treat you fair
But stand you will to its demands
I can't promise you a diamond ring
Or a castle in the sky
But I will give you all my love
And a perfect lullaby
Keep on beating little heart
Sleeping safely in my arms
Rest your eyes my precious one
You are safe from all harm
…
Each of these words seemed to hypnotize Moka, coupled with her boyfriend's sweet voice, even when he was singing with the sweetest voice she ever heard, she was unable to hear the blood-curdling screams of dead people ringing around the room.
Gabriel didn't even gave them mercy and used the Dimensional Sword, but he ripped them off with his bare hands, teeth, and tail. No one was able to survive through this slaughter done from the god of death.
It seems that Meruem still had a certain influence on him even if he disappeared.
Gabriel: All the riches in the world
May not fall into your hands
Life won't always treat you fair
But stand you will to its demands
I can't promise you a diamond ring
Or a castle in the sky
But I will give you all my love
And a perfect lullaby
So long as the winds blow and mountains rest sure
As true as the ocean is blue my love endures
…
Another lyric that was almost the same of the previous one came out, but it didn't ruined the song, instead, it gave Moka the gift she needed the most in that moment… Peace.
Gabriel: All the riches in the world
May not fall into your hands
Life won't always treat you fair
But stand you will to its demands
I can't promise you a diamond ring
Or a castle in the sky
But I will give you all my love
…
And a perfect lullaby…
Gabriel finished singing, and there was only 3 people alive, Gabriel, Moka, and Akua, who was lucky enough to be still unconscious…
Gabriel let out a sigh and walked away from the crimson blood floor… Nothing was able to resist him… The vampires fell down like leaves, Kahlua was killed before she even had a chance to release her limiters, the fake Issa turned into mincemeat, and Gyokuro…
She was impaled with the spine of her own daughter against a wall… She had only 1 arm, she lost both of her eyes, leaving 2 black holes on her head, blood flowed out from her mouth through her broken teeth.
Her legs were used to kill Kahlua, one pierced her heart, while the other pierced her stomach, her empty eyes were looking the ceiling…
When he reached Akua, she was still sleeping, so he let her be. On his back, Moka was sleeping peacefully, not even a drop of blood was over her white dress or her silver hair…
But the same wasn't for Gabriel, who was covered in guts and blood from head to toe, he was completely unharmed. However, that expression that promised a fate worse than death… It vanished, as if nothing ever happened…
Gabriel laid Moka beside Akua, knowing that the latter won't do any strange trick with him nearby, and turned back on the room, he still has one job to do…
[Later]
Moka finally woke up, her eyelids slowly opened, and found herself beside an unconscious Akua, she was surprised at first, before she calmed down and hugged her with a smile, she was alive, both of them are alive…
*Step* *Step* *Step*
Moka's eyes bolted towards the source of those footsteps, and found Gabriel walking towards them with a blank face and closed eyes, then he took something from his pocket, revealing a pack of cigarette, he put a finger over the tip and lightened it up with a flame…
He didn't have this ability before, but now he did… He devoured Alucard, his entirety… His Immortality came from his regeneration, so if he stopped existing or his energy was no more, then he would truly die.
And everything was inside his stomach… Right now Gabriel obtained countless abilities coming from different monsters, his shapeshifting abilities reached a new height, making him almost immortal, and his Nen increased of a whopping 200%, basically his Nen triplicated in quantity and quality.
But he wasn't really happy, especially when he looked down, and saw Moka's rosary that detached itself from the choker and broken in fragments…
[Before]
Gabriel finished eating Alucard, and turned around to leave with a satisfying smile, however, in a blink of eyes, he was in a completely different world, and there was a single person in front of him…
Outer Moka in a scarlet dress…
…
No…
It was "Akasha Bloodriver"...
Gabriel: So…
Akasha: ...Nice to meet you, Gabriel Brace, or should I call you Meruem?
Gabriel: The former, that parasyte isn't here anymore…
Akasha covered her small mouth and giggled, before she looked straight at Gabriel.
Akasha: I… I wanted to thank you for everything you did… For me… And for Moka.
Gabriel: So you were the "Outer" Moka all along… Well… This is getting awkward…
Akasha: Don't worry about our time in the bed, you were sleeping with "Outer Moka", not me.
Gabriel: Shit… I really hope so…
Akasha: Hehe… So, like I said before, I wanted to thank you for saving me and Moka… Since the first time we met, up until now… From things like Hybrids to Fairy Tale itself… You became something evil just for me… Killing people left and right, however, I don't care about this, it wasn't your choice.
You, who shouldn't even exist in this world, was the one who made the biggest contribution by erasing Alucard forever and saving everyone from a disaster…
Gabriel: So… Since we are meeting now… I think I should say "Goodbye", right?
Akasha: ...Yes… Now that Alucard doesn't exist anymore, neither I will, we are the same being, but with two souls, if you want to take one down, you need to take both of us down…
Akasha slowly walked towards Gabriel, and when they were some steps away, Akasha grabbed Gabriel's chin and pulled his jaw towards her face, kissing him, Gabriel didn't resisted and turned back the kiss by pulling out his tongue.
A dozen of seconds passed, before Akasha's lips separated from his, and Gabriel saw her face full of tears while she held her sweet smile.
Akasha: Even if I didn't remember at that time, since I was only a personality… I really enjoyed the time with you, tell Moka that I will always watch over her… Gabriel, thank you… I was happy that I met you.
And then, Gabriel blinked again and found himself at the bottom of the room, where Alucard once slept, then he looked at the platform over his head and sighed.
Gabriel: ...No, I should be the grateful one… I wouldn't know what I would do without someone like you beside me…
Then he crouched down, and angelic wings sprouted out from his back, before he flapped them once and already reached the bloodied platform where Moka was trapped before.
Even if he should be happy because he won… This felt more like a defeat for him…
He rescued Moka…
He defeated Fairy Tale…
He devoured Alucard…
But he lost someone important… *Sigh* It doesn't matter anymore… He still has Moka, and that's what he needed now, he reached a cloth of a vampire he massacred and pulled out a pack of cigarette, before leaving from the room.
