On a secluded map within the Elven Kingdom, Owen and the others were waiting for Shin and Charlotte to arrive before proceeding to their next destination.

"Tsk! They are taking longer than what we have expected," said Akailu while wearing a deep frown.

Hearing that, Alucard couldn't help but turn his head to him before asking. "How many times have you said it already? Eleven times? Thirteen? Sixteen? Honestly, I already lost count when it surpasses ten."

Akailu suddenly smirked when he heard that and said sarcastically. "Are you flexing your ability to count? Being able to count from one to ten sure is amazing-… For kids, of course."

"What? Are you picking a fight? How about we find out which one of us is really stronger?" asked Alucard while standing up from sitting position and putting his left hand on the hilt of his sword.
