Alucard simply sighs, as he raises one of the two blades. "Did I not tell you? I am the Lord of Vampires. And unlike others who may claim such a title, I have earned it not by heritage, nor by politics." He flings one of the blades, and it pierces Bug's body as he crawls away, rapidly expanding as control is released, an immense pillar of flames engulfing Bug. "I gained it by being the greatest." His other hand becomes wreathed in purple, as Mithias recognizes the Jigen Tou. And yet, equally, he could feel a voice inside his own mind, pressing forward, from a place deep within his soul.

~It has been a long time since I smelled this much blood in the air~

The voice was not Aono's. It was Alucard's.
