57 It would be stupid saving an illusion
Akua: Stay back, Moka. You're better off not seeing it.
Moka was crying while her eyes were getting empty from shock.
Moka: Why… Why…
Akua: I'm sorry… This is who I truly am… Remember what I showed you yesterday? That creature hidden under this mansion. Despising humans, Those who try to defy destiny by destroying everything, hating the world, the transcendental vampire… I am one of those who have succeeded that wish, a descendant of Alucard.
She replied like that while she emanated killing intent and had creepy eyes that were looking up despite her face being to Moka's direction… But there was a particular that Gabriel caught, her tears.
Moka: ....Get… GET OUT OF MY WAY!!!
Then she threw a fast kick at Akua's face, who managed to block it with her arm, but the arm was slightly broken at the impact.
Akua: Gahh!
The kick easily sent Akua crashing through the hall, making different cracks on the wall.
Moka: Ugh, ughhhh, ugh… UWAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!
After she cried out in sorrow, an incredible quantity of youki enveloped her and raged out.
Akua: Wha… What's this…!? Such terrifying power! It's as if black darkness itself is flooding everything…! Don't tell me… Shinso…! No way… Why? A Shinso's power shouldn't be hereditary…
And then, Gabriel's eyes widened a bit and used his own Nen to resist that presence that he just felt, before a small earthquake came, and it slowly increased of intensity.
Akua: Wha… What now!? An earthquake…!?
Gabriel: 'Alucard…'
Meanwhile, Moka's youki stopped raging around and images of bats going around her came.
Akua: ...Moka…
Moka: ...Why… Why, Akua?
She slowly walked to Akasha's corpse, and stood silent, before…
Moka: WHY DID YOU KILL MOTHER!?
Moka kicked the ground and threw a punch at Akua, who tilted her head and dodged the punch, which made a big hole in the wall.
Akua: 'She pulverized that thick wall with just one hit…!' That power… It really is the Shinso's…!
At that moment, the earthquake increased to another level, which destroyed the entire mansion's windows.
Gabriel: It's coming…!
Something crashed through the floor where Moka and Aqua were, revealing to be tentacles that looked like they were made of steel and a roar accompanied them.
Gabriel: Shit! Touhou!
Touhou: Yes!!
The carpet flew away, dodging the tentacles, those tentacles kept destroying the mansion just by moving around, reducing it to rumbles.
Akua: A… Alucard? To think you were still alive… 'It started moving the moment the shinso power inside Moka awakened…? It's as if the two things were synchronised… Why!? What in the world is happening…?
Moka: Ugh… Ugh…
Moka's voice woke Akua up and turned upwards.
Akua: Moka!
Then her eyes widened in terror from seeing Moka over giant skeletron hand with 6 fingers.
Akua: What…? What is this…?
Moka: Ugh…
Akua: Moka!!!
She tried to sprint to her, but more tentacles came from the ground and binded her movements.
Akua: Ah!
Then another one with a mouth that was salivating came out and bit Akua's neck.
Akua: Guh… Oh shi-...!
The tentacles were cut in half, freeing Akua who was thrown away.
?: ...Be careful, Akua. If you are caught by those tentacles, your blood and body will be absorbed into Alucard… Having slept for 200 years, he's hungry. If you unleash your power carelessly, he'll think you're "Food"... And you'll be targeted like Moka.
Akua: …! No way… I sliced you in half with my own hands… Akasha!
The person who freed Akua was Akasha, who was still recovering from her injury at the chest.
Akasha: Unfortunately, this is a sturdy body… So cutting me in half isn't enough to kill me.
Akasha vanished and Akua stood in guard, before she appeared in front of her and said.
Akasha: I'm sorry Akua. For not being able to take care of you earlier. I really wanted to help you some more… But at this rate, Moka is going to be absorbed inside Alucard… Surely you don't want that to happen either, right?
Akua slowly calmed down, before Akasha got to her ear and said.
Akasha: Then I'll tell you what you need to do… *Whisper*
Akua was surprised and her pupils got smaller.
Akua: Wh-What do you mean!? Then what about you!? And Moka…
Akasha: I didn't want to do this either, but it can't be helped… There's no other way to save Moka. It was okay for me to ask you, right? Since you're such a fine "Sister"
Akasha removed her scarlet dress, revealing…
Gabriel was rubbing his eyes and narrowed them in surprise.
Gabriel: ...What the hell?
... A dominatrix-style suit, which revealed everything except for the chest, sides, back, and waist, then she wore white stockings.
Akasha: Hold on, Moka. I'll be there really soon.
Gabriel: ...Touhou, how much for leaving from here?
Touhou: Hold it for 10 minutes and I am sure it will be 100% ready.
Gabriel: Alright…
Touhou: Still, I am surprised you didn't anything about Alucard now, I heard that you have a "Certain" reaction when you saw Moka in danger the last time…
Gabriel: Pfft, even I know it will be stupid saving a Moka who is just an illusion, besides, since she's still alive it means that something good happened, what do you take me for, the Protagonist?
At this moment, the fight started, and Akua tried to cut in half some tentacles that immediately regenerated, followed from Akasha who threw a kick and pulverized them.
After that, Akasha did almost everything and continued to destroy the tentacles that she used as platforms to reach Moka, the hand that was holding the latter was slowly closing, making everyone nearby panic.
When Akasha almost reached Moka, spikes came out from the hand and pierced through Akasha, making Moka yell out.
Moka: MOTHER!!!
Even with the spikes on her body, Akasha reached Moka and put a choker with a rosario over her neck.
Moka: ...Eh?
Akasha: I'm sorry, Moka… All this that happened, is all my fault.
Moka: M… Mother…?
Akasha: There were a lot of difficulties when I gave birth to you, and you were on the verge of death the moment you were born… So I gave you as much as my blood as I could to revive you, despite knowing how dangerous it was…
But I don't regret it, because you are my most important treasure.
The rosario started to glow, and everything stopped moving.
Akasha: This is a goodbye, Moka. The life force of this monster called Alucard is far too powerful for us to kill, so the only way to stop him is to be eaten on purpose and seal him from the inside…
Moka: Mo-Mother…?
Akasha: I really don't think I'll be able to come back this time.
Moka: …! No… What're you saying!? You're invincible, aren't you mother? You were cut in half and you still survived.
Moka started to release even more tears from her red eyes and said with a trembling voice.
Moka: Please *Sob* don't go anywhere… *Hic* I don't want to say goodbye…
Akasha looked like she was sad too, and she started to cry too, her finger started to glow and said.
Akasha: I'm sorry…
Then she touched the gem in the center of the rosary, which glowed at her gesture.
Moka: Mother? What is this? What is this rosary? I-I'm scared. Mother!!
Akasha: I'm so sorry Moka, forgive your mother…
Then a blinding light that could compare to that of the sun brightened everything, making Gabriel cover his eyes.
Touhou: That's the "Sealing Ceremony", where everything started…
Gabriel: Shut up and continue your job, I don't want to see everyone in my stomach because I didn't reach my body in time!
Touhou: You are right…
[Meanwhile]
Outside, there was an invasion from Miu family's members at the Huang family, and the one at the head of everything was… Akua.
