Let's f**king GOOOO!

Arcing through the air, Juniper spins her spear and reinforces it with armament haki before throwing it at Dracula with all her might.

*WOSH!*

*BAM!*

The weapon cuts through the air and stirs up winds before crashing into the back of the throne where the old bat's head had been just a fraction of a second ago.

Moving with immense speed matching that of his son, the old vampire did not only dodge the attack but also arrives in front of the airborne moth with a balled fist.

Eyes narrowing at her foe's fast movement, the demoness raises two of her arms in a block that catch the punch, but she still gets sent flying back.

Flapping her wings once, a green pulse washes along them as she activates her free flight ability, successfully stopping herself from crashing into a wall.

'Holy cow! His speed easily matches that of Alucard while his strength rivals my own.' She thinks as her hand holding the Morning star whip blurs into action and sends the silver chain lashing out at her opponent.

With eerie precision the flail end homes onto the vampire kings face through a weird arc.

Dodging the attack gracefully, he charges up to his flying adversary, evading the rapid swings and swipes of the blessed weapon that kept changing directions in its attempts to land a hit.

Leaping into the air, Dracula readies his claws to tear into the moth with a swipe.

Being at full alert, Juniper tracks her opponent's movements with observation haki and predicts his move.

Hand outstretched in the direction of the throne, she grabs hold of the spear impaling it with psychokinesis and pulls.

Right before the sharp claws of the king of vampires makes contact with her body, a blur shoots at it and tears through the hand, yanking it away as his expression morphs into an annoyed scowl.

Trying to capitalize on the created opportunity, Juniper balls a free hand into a fist and punches.

But it isn't that easy when facing a monster like this ancient creature of the night.

Raising his other arm, he blocks the punch, creating a small shockwave from the collision before getting sent back to the ground where he lands lightly on his feet.

*drip*

A single drop of dark crimson blood lands on the floor as the vampire glances at the hole torn through his palm.

"Hm, it's been a long time since I have gotten physically injured like this." Clenching the hand, the blood stops flowing, hell, it even retracts back into the wound as the thing closes itself.

Meeting the red eyes of Dracula, Juniper smirks.

"That makes it one on zero for me. Put your head in the game old man." Using psychokinesis, she retrieves her spear before landing on the ground.

"As you wish, demon." He growls and disappears into a red and black blur before deeply planting his fist firmly into the moth's guts.

*BAM!*

*CRASH!*

Flying into the nearest wall and kicking up a lot of dust that fills the hall, the demoness's body gets embedded into the stone making it up.

"Urgh! Motherfucker!" She curses as the pain shoots through her back from the impact.

Thanks to haki she managed to both, react in time and reinforce her stomach, negating most of the direct damage that this attack would have dealt, but the following crash into the wall still rattled her body.

Not getting any time to recover, she hastily uses her spear to block the incoming claws of the old bat's follow up attack that pushes her even deeper into the wall.

Kicking out with a leg, she forces him to jump back which gave her enough time to pry herself out of the stone in which she got buried.

The moment her foot touched the ground again, Dracula was upon her with a knife hand aimed at her neck.

Stepping up her own game, Juniper grabs herself with psychokinesis and yanks her body out of the way and directly behind him.

Spear swinging wide, she engages the creature of the night in a quick paced exchange of spear and claws that sent sparks flying into the air as they leap and rush all over the place with immense speed.

Thanks to her psychokinetic movement, the moth is able to keep up with her opponent while her perfect T-Virus enhanced strength matched that of the king of vampires.

Every time the old bat retreated past the range of her spear, the Morningstar whip would lash out and try to ensnare a limb or batter him with its flail end.

As they fight, the moth's movements become more refined and her skill with both the spear and whip increase dramatically thanks to [Focus] who's running in the background.

Noticing this, the king of vampires gets frustrated and with a roar releases a burst of magical fire that is hot enough to sear the demoness's skin.

Leaping back from the flames, Juniper disengages from their exchange and lands a distance away.

Taking a moment to breath, both inhuman beings size each other up.

On both sides there are signs of injuries, but nothing any of them would be bothered by.

In the moth's case, there are a few new black spots across her body where Dracula's claws had torn her skin and revealed the subdermal armour beneath, along with scratch marks on the chitin.

As for the old vampire, there are some bloody cuts in his clothes that showed the unharmed pale skin beneath as the wounds have already healed.

"So, we're using magic now? Fine by me." Juniper says with a grin as her jaw unhinges itself as far as it can.

A burning orb forms in her open mouth and with a roar she releases a beam of fire at her foe.

Flicking his wrist, a wave of frost rushes out and forms a solid wall between himself and the incoming attack.

The two magic's collied and explode, filling the hall with mist as the fire evaporates the wall.

Not hindered by the loss of her vision thanks to observation haki, the demoness lashes out with her whip into the cloud.

Similarly, Dracula simply relies on his other inhumanly sharp sense to accurately determine the path of the attack and dodges it easily.

Reaching out with a free hand, the moth channels her magic power and freezes the vapor making up the mist before flipping her reinforced spear into reverse grip and throwing towards where she sensed the ancient creature of the night.

With the abundance of water in the area, a large ice block appeared in an instant and froze her foe in place.

As for the spear, thanks to being enhanced by armament haki, it easily pierced through the ice and reached its destination.

Smirking in triumph, Juniper gets startled when her haki screamed at her in warning and hastily took to the air with her wings.

Not even a second later, the entire ice block explodes as steaming and bubbling green liquid shoots out of it with high-pressure, melting the ice and even stone it comes into contact with.

'Poison magic? Acid magic? God damn, whatever it is, it is fucking potent.' The moth thinks with a grimace as the floor gets covered in the dangerous liquid.

Looking at the source, she sees Dracula standing still as the acid slides off the cloak of shadows covering him.

'Makes sense, shadows aren't something that should be affected by corrosion, so they are perfect to defend against this type of attack.' Then her gaze lands on something behind him and her expression turns angry.

'Bloody prick! He destroyed my spear!' The demoness curses as she sees the half-melted weapon sticking out of the green liquid.

Grabbing it with psychokinesis, she brings the heavily damaged spear into her hand.

'Fuck, need to look into repairing and upgrading it after this. It has too much sentimental value to be lost like this.' Storing the spear in her inventory, she glares at the perpetrator and lashes out with her whip.

As the chain arcs through the air, it begins to glow orange before blue flames erupt out of it, turning the whip into a burning serpent rushing at the vampire king and evaporating the green liquid melting the floor.

He in turn raises a dome of shadows around himself, which then gets engulfed in a fiery explosion as the flail tip of the Morningstar smashes into it.

Not letting up, the demoness pulls out Alucard's enchanted sword from her inventory that she had claimed as her own and reinforces it with armament haki.

Holding the weapon in reverse grip, she chucks it into the flames and at the dome, aiming directly at the old vampire within thanks to observation haki.

The black sword emitting a metallic sheen manages to pierce through the solid shadow dome and opens up a hole through which the moth could see the surprised look on his face.

Piercing into Dracula's shoulder, the force of the throw slammed him through the opposite side of the dome.

Skidding to a halt outside, he growls angrily as the shadows collapse back onto the ground.

Without flinching, he rips the sword out of his body and the wound mends itself within mere seconds, but before he could throw it away, his gaze lingered on the weapon which returned to its silver colour after impact.

A strange sense of nostalgia overcomes him, almost as if he knew this sword from somewhere, or the supposed owner.

His train of thought gets interrupted by an ice spear aiming for his skull.

Tilting his head out of the way, the old vampire's anger returns, and he flings the weapon aside.

"You damn insignificant worm! I have had enough of this!" He yells as an immense amount of magic power begins to emit from his body.

In response, the already rather eager shadows filling the area begin to twist and churn before a wave of black spears came rushing out of them towards Juniper.

Observation haki blaring alarms in her head, the moth did not attempt to block this attack and instead leaps into the air, only for spears to also start coming from the roof, completely covering the entire hall in a forest of deadly black spikes.

Eyes narrowing at the dangerous predicament, she flares her own magic power and thick walls of ice appear all around her, encasing her in a sphere.

The shadow spears pierce into the ice and penetrate it with little effort before exiting on the other side.

Keeping the ice sphere suspended in the air with the spikes for a few seconds, Dracula retracts them back, causing it to fall to the ground where it shatters.

"Ugh… that certainly did a number on me." The demoness groans as her form emerges from the shards of ice.

Purplish-red blood drips onto the floor from the couple holes where the shadow spears had pierced through her.

None of the wounds were fatal or crippling as she had reinforced the important parts of her body with haki or twisted them out of the way under the cover of the ice.

"Kekekekekehahahahaaaa~, looks like you're actually quite strong. Hmm~, I guess it really is the blood of a high-rank demon that flows through your veins, isn't it?" Grin making its way onto her face, she states her observation to the once again stone-faced vampire.

"Well." Straightening her back, she manipulates her clothes to bandage up the wounds across her body before rolling her shoulders.

"Time to get serious then." With that she retrieves the enchanted sword via psychokinesis before storing it and the whip away.

Then she releases the full, unbridled power of her conquerors haki.

The pressure slams into the king of vampires and actually makes him stiffen up for a moment while the air begins to audibly hum.

'I haven't really mastered it yet, but now is the perfect time to hone it.' She thinks while trying to infuse her limbs with conquerors haki.

Launching herself forward with her wings and psychokinesis, she crosses the distance between them instantly.

Recovering from, the shock caused by the moth's haki, Dracula reacts fast and redirects the first fist aiming for his face before twisting out of the way of the second one going for his guts, but then he tried to block her third limb with a forearm block.

His eyes widen as the fist makes contact and the sound of snapping bone resounds.

The surprise from his foes sudden increase in strength is enough to allow the demoness to dig the claws of her fourth limb into his side.

Before he could do anything else, a sense of weakness overcomes him.

'[Draining Touch]!' Grin growing wider till it become outright demonic, Juniper greedily began sucking the vitality out of the vampire's body to heal her own.

Realizing the danger he was in, the king of vampires tries to disengage, but when he attempted to move, his entire body gets engulfed in an invisible force that kept him in place.

Physically restrained by his opponent's psychokinetic grasp, the old bat resorts to his magic and with a roar, yellow lightning arcs off his body.

Being in physical contact with him, the moth is unable to dodge in time and gets electrocuted.

Gritting her teeth, she releases her foe and jumps back before looking down at her twitching fingers where weak arcs of lightning still spark from the forceful electrotherapy.

'Lightning, how do I best deal with this?' She ponders as she slowly starts to get a bit frustrated with how many different abilities the old bloodsucker had.

A lot more cautious now that he was aware of Juniper's life drain ability, Dracula sends an arc of yellow lightning at her.

The option to dodge, which she only had thanks to her observation haki, was taken from the moth when black tendrils reach out of the ground and warp around her feet, so she decided to go for the simplest solution and coats her arm in armament haki before smacking the bolt of electricity aside with a bitch slap, much to Dracula's "schock"… … BA DUM TSCH!

'Yeah, haki is fucking OP.' The demoness thinks amused while jumping back into action by tearing the shadow restraints apart.

A destructive battle of both magic and incredible physical prowess ensues.

With her body healed up to a certain extent thanks to draining some of the vampire king's vitality, the demoness went toe to toe with the ancient creature of the night.

Her observation haki got strained to its limit trying to keep up with the fight while her armament and conquerors haki got put into overdrive to block as much damage as possible, and dish it out.

In the midst of this fight, she also released her mantis blades and managed to sever one of his arms in a surprise attack.

Sadly, he simply grabbed the limb and blasted her away with a wall of blue fire and reattached it.

Still, the razor-sharp limbs increased her reach and after some haki is applied, they tear through his solid magical constructs with ease and became a pain for him to deal with.

All the while they were going at it, the remaining council members, soldiers, night-creatures and Isaac observed the fight from the corridor behind the throne with terrified awe.

"They're on a completely different level than any of us." The Forgemaster mutters in both fear and frustration, as it meant that he could do nothing to support his friend in this conflict.
