[@thewizardguy] The Jigentou trembled briefly as it clashed against Alucard's sword of runes, then busted into hundreds of quickly evaporating fragments. The loss sent a shock through Mithas' arm and he gasped, nonetheless following with a swing of his soul-reaver sword which was too deftly dodged. The golden-eyed vampire looked more than a tad unsettled in that instant, as his ace-card sword had failed him. He couldn't believe Alucard's power and techniques! But, this was not the time to be caught stunned. At the very last moment, Mithias hardened the skin all over his body into chitenlike-metallic armor before Alucard's punch landed against his face and nearly shattered him. In a DBZ-like trajectory, Mithias was blasted off the building and into the side of another building, causing that building's wall to give out and the whole structure to collapse on top of him. The rubble settled, and after but a moment, movement could be seen. Alucard approached Mithias as he began to crawl out of the rubble, still obviously alive. Destruction? The multiverse was in danger, again?? Mithias shook his head, dust falling off of him, his hair a mess. He shoved the last rock off of himself and stood up facing Alucard. The Jigentou... It hadn't been destroyed, but what good would it do to summon it again? Mithias didn't bother. He had killed both a god and a daemon in his short immortality, and yet all that hadn't made him any more prepared to face the being before him. Just then, Drac appeared. "Drac! No, wait! Don't intervene! He'll kill you!" But it was too late, Drac had already engaged, and took a shot at the vile vampire lord. Mithias tried to delay the enemy, "You're right, Alucard. I haven't fed in a long time, and these powers aren't mine. It is true that I am lost. You seem to understand many things that I do not." Mithias saw the arms forming blades and decided to try to use speed to his advantage and dodge everything Alucard threw at him, if he could. Alucard's hits were just too devastating to endure, but perhaps he could fly circles around the fiend. "Has your knowledge made you so devoid of hope? Are you so certain the multiverse is doomed? Have you given in out of fear? ... Are you a failure, Alucard?" The corner of Mithias' lips curled in an evil grin as he taunted Alucard with that last statement.
