Nitra like all Constructs feared the loss of their Tree the most, for them it practically meant the end of their race.

However, as the battle neared its end, the Constructs no longer feared this as the conflict between Nitra and Liang was over. The tree was no longer threatened and the rest of the battle was amicable.

Nitra simply could not imagine that Liang had the power to destroy her and the Tree in just one attack. It was something that could not be expected or calculated as well as the fact that Liang knew that this was what would happen.

Even Polosa, if she was still alive, would not be able to recover the Tree after all the damage. But, for some, it was a difficult but doable task.

Alucard, with a wide smile on his face, looked up at the sun and at the great Tree, most of which was covered in bloody threads as well as Nitra's body.

Tap.

Nitra turned into a lightning flash, in a heartbeat, finding herself in front of Alucard. Liang glanced at her, and then with a stream of wind he approached them.

"Hey! Looks like your fight is already over, doesn't it?" Alucard smirked, with a playful glint in his eyes, "Looks like you weren't prepared for Liang's full force, even though he tried to warn you."

Nitra didn't answer anything, she just stared at Alucard, meeting his gaze. Then, she did something that was impossible for a Progenitor to do.

Nitra bowed low, like a soldier meeting a general. Alucard could not see her eyes, but he sensed that she was then expressing sincere gratitude, full and boundless.

"Thank you... Thank you for saving me, the tree, and our entire world..." Nitra struggled to utter, not because of pride or arrogance but because of the feelings that completely consumed her at that moment. Even if she was a Construct, she was not a cold mechanism.

Alucard wanted to say something, but before he did, he felt Liang's stern gaze on him. He was hovering beside them with his arms crossed over his chest.

Alucard nodded slightly, then his gaze became completely serious as well as his aura, making everyone goosebumps. Even for beings as strong as the guardians, it became much harder to breathe.

"You're welcome. It is my duty. You've decided that you are no longer enemies, so the fact that you died and your Tree was destroyed is just a fluke." Alucard said calmly.

In fact, he didn't want to do it in such a serious way, but he realized that by doing so he was showing that he treated Nitra as an equal, as worthy.

Unconsciously, Nitra's tears flowed, though she hadn't expected it at all.

"What...?" Nitra muttered in disbelief, looking at her tears that were crystal clear. She couldn't remember the last time she had cried or experienced such powerful feelings.

"Damn! I can't take it anymore!" Alucard complained as his aura and gaze returned to normal. Being this serious for so long in one day was beyond him.

Tap.

ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm Without hesitation, Alucard grabbed Nitra by the chin, and moved closer to her, within kissing distance.

Nitra was puzzled, at that moment inside her was a veritable chaos of different emotions and she didn't even realize what was happening or what she had to do.

"Come on. You had a great fight and you are no longer our enemy. Liang went a little overboard but you wanted it yourself, moreover, I saved you and Tree. So, enough of these dramatic topics!" Alucard vigorously said.

"Agh...?" Nitra gasped, then her eyes went wide and goosebumps went all over her body. She wasn't ready for this.

Without hesitation, Alucard kissed her as their lips made contact. If Alucard had been anyone else, Nitra would have destroyed this one with her most powerful attack, but at that moment she just let her emotions take over.

The Guardians, as well as everyone else, were in true shock.

"Hahahahahahaha! Damn! Only that bastard could do something so inappropriate at a time like this!" Wain laughed, unable to hold back.

Even Sven smiled slightly as this scene was truly unique.

"Well, well... Why do I feel like Alucard is always the winner no matter what the situation is?" Osvald muttered puzzledly, scratching the back of his head.

He continued, "First he started fighting Liang eventually they became friends, now he didn't even participate in the fight but still got Nitra's kiss... How the hell does that work!"

Crackle.

Marlis hit him in the side with a menacing look, "Hey, don't talk about her like she's a bounty! She's one of the Progenitors and was able to get Liang to use his Form, even if only for a moment!"

"Yeah... but, she doesn't seem to mind being a reward for Alucard at all." Osvald calmly said, not paying attention at all to Marlis's kick, "Agh... I wonder what will happen next?"

Liang slowly landed on the ground, approaching Nitra and Alucard.I think you should take a look at

"Are you done?" Liang said coldly.

Alucard turned towards him with a sly smirk, "Hey, I realize you're jealous, but did you really have to get in my way?"

Liang raised an eyebrow as if to say, 'Are you serious?'

At that moment, Nitra came to her senses, realizing what she had just done. Her whole face turned red as she took a few steps away from Alucard. She tried to pretend that she didn't mean it at all, but it was unlikely that anyone would believe her. Certainly not Alucard.

"Is there something you want to ask?" Liang said calmly, staring intently at Nitra. He realized that what had happened could be the cause for another conflict between them and he wanted to avoid that.historical

Nitra remained silent until she said, "No. I wanted to see your Form, and this moment was enough for me for thousands of years."

Liang nodded silently, accepting her answer.

Then, Nitra turned to Alucard, she blushed slightly but managed to maintain a serious look, "What will happen to the Tree and me? Those threads still remain."

Alucard nodded, "Yeah. Don't worry about it, I'll fix it now."

Alucard snapped his fingers and the threads shone brightly. Nitra felt relief and pure energy spreading through her body.

"Agh... This is incredible..." Nitra muttered in disbelief, looking at the Tree.

To her surprise, the hole in the Tree that was left after Liang threw Nitra into it, began to gradually heal. The process was slow but sure. The energetic roots and veins that were all over the tree had connected to the threads, using them as material for growth and recovery.

"Wow... That's impressive... Barring the destruction in Zero Area... My world only suffered minor damage... Although, because of the mistakes we made, our people had to suffer..." Nitra muttered with a look filled with sadness.

However, she quickly came to her senses as she realized that this could not be changed. Their conflict was already resolved and there was no point in continuing.

Nitra turned to Liang and asked, "We're allies now, right?"

Liang shrugged, "Something like that. Just like in your case, I realized that to achieve my goal I don't need to stand on Axalt's Side, it will only lead to utopia. Nameless King must win so it will be better for everyone."

Nitra nodded slightly. Their fight was over, but there was a war ahead that would be fought by those she would never fight against alone.

"I have a question." Alucard uttered as a sly smirk appeared on his face with a predatory glint in his eyes.

"Hmm? You want to know something?" Nitra suggested.

Alucard nodded, disappearing and in a heartbeat finding himself in front of Nitra, gently holding her hand. She could have resisted, but she didn't.

"How about a date?" Alucard suggested, with complete seriousness and confidence in Nitra's agreement.

Nitra blushed again, quickly looked away, and muttered, "Maybe later... I have a lot of work to do soon..."

Alucard smiled, "Sure. I'll be waiting. You know where to find me."

Then, Alucard looked up, seeing the slowly floating clouds across the azure sky.

His goal was not to savor this view, as his keen gaze was directed beyond this world, into a completely different space.

"So... Which one of you will go with me?" Alucard asked, looking at Liang and Nitra.

"Hm?" Nitra gave him a questioning look, "What are you talking about?"

"I'll go." Liang immediately replied, "It's been quite a while since I've seen Gael fight. It's going to be interesting. After all, he and I are both swordsmen, but we have completely different approaches."

Nitra's eyes went wide when she remembered that during the invasion of Axalt World, there had also been Gael there, but now he was gone.

"Wait... Where is he now?" Nitra asked in a disbelief.

Alucard grinned widely, "In Beastfolk World! I love those guys! They fight all the time! Hahahaha!"
