DxD: A World Where T*tties Defy Gravity [ Chapter 101: Another Round! ] (Patreon)

Just as silently, Lavinia pointed to all the snipers, who were all none the wiser that they were about to die.

At her mental command, Absolute Demise raised one of its arms, and swung it to the side. Instantly, all the sniper rifle-wielding soldiers in Lavinia's line of sight were encased in a large strip of ice.

At another wave of Lavinia's hand, the Ice Princess followed her command, and shattered the ice encasing all the soldiers, reducing them to icy, bloody chunks.

Right at that moment, a silver transportation-circle opened, and Rex and Tobio appeared out of it.

"Nice one, Lavinia." Rex complimented the blonde beauty. "Now." he looked down, as he saw a tall, red-wearing individual walking casually out of the hotel. "I have a feeling that there's going to be a very enjoyable show occurring soon. Shall we go and get a closer look?"

"Sure." Tobio and Lavinia both replied. The three of them went through a transportation-circle, and appeared on top of a nearby house, to the right of Alucard coming out of the hotel.

"Oh, my." a man said, calmly walking through a crowd of policemen that blocked Alucard's way, as he came to a stop in front of him. "You really shouldn't play with your food." he gave a chuckle. "You certainly do live up to your reputation."

He swept into a bow before Alucard.

"My name is Tubalcain Alhambra, Mr. Alucard." he said, speaking in a smooth, suave voice. "Though some people have taken to calling me the 'Dandy Man'."

Physically, Tubalcain was tall and thin, with green eyes, light silver hair and a thin brown mustache. He dressed in a brown suit, vest and wide-brimmed fedora with a blue tie. He also wore white gloves.

"Facinating." Alucard replied, calmly, as he walked down the steps of the hotel. "Did these poor souls belong to you?"

"Ohhhh." Tubalcain replied, tipping his fedora upward. "You're speaking of those unfortunate men. Their superiors were fools, and so they allowed their men to end up in such a state. Truly amazing, what some people will do on the promise of... immortality."

"Taking advantage of idiots." Alucard remarked. "We both know there's no such thing as immortality."

"No need to be cruel." Alhambra replied, a grin on his face as he held up a playing card. "They still served their purpose. After all, how many of your holy ammunition rounds do you have left now, Mr. Alucard?"

"You're starting to bore me." Alucard replied, a grin on his face in return. "Let's cut to the chase. What're you here for?"

"I'm here to take your un-life, Mr. Alucard." Tubalcain replied, sweeping his arm to the side, as playing cards fell from his suit, and began to swirl around him. "Millennium has given me the task of bringing you in. Well..." he paused, as the cards began to swirl around Alucard. 

"At least a sample of you, anyway."

Tubalcain threw the card in his hand at Alucard, and an explosion went off. Confident of an early victory, Tubalcain grinned, but instead, he was met with Alucard's grim chuckle, as the Ultimate Vampire emerged with only a cut on his right cheek.

"I get it." Alucard scowled. "There's absolutely no reasoning with you people. Which leaves me with no choice but to keep killing until there are none of you left standing." he smiled. "Didn't your Masters learn anything from the first time I decimated them?"

Tubalcain replied by conjuring up 52 more playing cards, and sending them all flying at Alucard, who jumped out of the way before they reached him. 

Alhambra threw more playing cards at him, but Alucard kept jumping out of the way, leaving the officers who stood by with no chance of survival. Even a cameraman had his head sliced off by one of the cards.

Alucard began firing back with his two guns, the Casull, and the Jackel, but Alhambra was quick to spin out of the way of the bullets, and throw cards back at him in return. 

He began running along the road at great speed, away from Alucard, but the black-haired Vampire was very quick to return fire.

One of his bullets made their mark, striking Alhambra in the neck and spurting blood everywhere. However, after a second, Alhambra seemed to disappear in a flurry of playing cards.

Alucard growled at the sight of Alhambra's card-clone disappearing, until an explosion went off right under his feet, and sent him flying into the pavement.

"And right into my trap." Alhambra remarked, mockingly snapping his fingers. A few hundred playing cards appeared in a circle around Alucard, and flew into him, causing a massive explosion. 

When the smoke cleared, however, there was no Alucard to be found.

Instead, he was on the left side of the hotel, close to where Rex, Tobio and Lavinia were watching the battle, with great interest. Alucard proceeded to run up the wall to the rooftop.

"Oh, no you don't." Alhambra growled, jumping up into the air, and landing on the vertical wall of the hotel. "Alucard!" he called, as he began to walk up the wall. "Vampire... you are so disappointing!"

Right at that moment, a small fiery explosion went off from a police tent close by, and Pip Bernadotte emerged from the destruction, idly humming 'La Marseillaise'.

"Hm." Rex remarked, levitating into the air. "Looks like Pip actually has some uses. Shall we go get a closer look?"

"Indeed." Tobio replied, as he and Lavinia did the same. "And sure."

The three beings levitated themselves up, through the use of magic, and landed a moderate distance away from where the battle was continuing.

"I can't stop bleeding..." Alucard mused to himself. "Those cards of his must be very special." he chuckled. "Magic playing cards. How interesting. You, sir... Dandy Man... are very amusing. Hi."

"Are you ready for another round, Mr. Alucard?" Alhambra, who had made his way to the rooftop, asked. "I bet they have a special place ready for you. In the deepest pits of Hell."

Alucard laughed, loudly and mockingly.
