| The Abominator | |||
| Kynoto was amazed that a vampire�s castle could look so marvelous. The walls were made of marble and gold. There were many tapestries of Count Vladimir Dracula, as well as of many of Costranela�s wives. They entered a hallway with portraits on each side. On one side, Kynoto saw all of the male members of the Costranela family, and the other side were the female Costranela�s. After Vladimir Costranela, there were no other portraits, yet there were more on the female side. The Count was indeed as old as the rumors were, perhaps even older. Kynoto judged from all the female portraits that Costranela was at least ninety thousand years old.
�Master, are you the oldest of your Family?� Kynoto asked, looking at the portraits as they went. The Count replied rather sourly, �Yes, I am the eldest of the Costranela family. If it were not for me, we would be the Dracula�s, not the Costranela�s. I have out lived my great great great great great grandfather, Beldor Dracula and he lived for seventy thousand years. Now, here we are; the Room of Blood. This is the place were Richter Belmont killed our Sire, Count Dracula.� He opened the door and a burst of cold air rushed out chilling Kynoto to the bone. Inside the room blue flame candles were lit for the purpose of, as Kynoto already knew, keeping spirits at bay, trapping them in the area that they were in. Then a creature appeared and the Count said to Kynoto hastily, �Kynoto, here is where you prove your self. Defeat this monster and prove your strength and I�ll allow you to work for me. Just so you know, no one in this room, except for me has ever beaten the Abominator.� The Count closed the door behind him. Kynoto was now face to face with a creature of such evil that Kynoto thought it must be an extension of Hell itself. Its eyes, they glowed black with evil, its skin was all rotted and oozing pus, it smelled of the dead and reeked of death, it had hooked teeth and claws, and Kynoto could sense its power, that it was something to be respected. The candles blew out and all was dark. Then green flames appeared. These flames gave power to those who sought it and Kynoto defiantly needed more power, but the monster was also using those candles to become stronger. Its arms and legs began to pulse with power. Kynoto had to act fast. He pulled out a scroll, bit his thumb and put it to the scroll, allowing the blood to soak into it. Then he formed the seal of heaven while holding the scroll and said, �No kame hisatu baskasumo no jistsu!� Kynoto slammed the scroll onto the ground and the words from within it began to flow out the sides. The streams of words started to wrap around the monster and six Devine Angels appeared. Each of them took hold of the monster, then Kynoto said very quickly, �Blood for blood and life for life, no kagena no jitsu!� A bolt of lightning slammed into the monster and turned it to ash. Then something happened; the ashes started to glow and from them, a new monster sprouted. �What???!!� Kynoto moaned. The monster took a swing at Kynoto and sent Kynoto flying across the room. Kynoto felt as though the energy had been drained from him. The monster now stood over him. It lifted its foot and kicked Kynoto�s stomach. Kynoto flew into the air for about three seconds, and then hit the ground, blood dripping from his mouth, eyes, and nose. Kynoto stood up just as the creature punched him again. This time Kynoto got a full shot to the head. Kynoto felt his eardrums pop and blood trickling from his ears. �Damn, what manner of beast is this!� He shouted as blood rushed out of his open mouth. The creature replied, startling Kynoto, �I am an Abominator, an eater of souls. This old castle is full of souls, thus you can never beat me. Why, you can�t even scratch me, wahahahahaha�. what?!� Kynoto had punched the beast in the gut, which was now spewing souls all over the room. �Now I see how you reformed. You used a soul to revive yourself. Now that they are leaving you, you won�t be so tough,� Kynoto said confidently. �Haha, he�s got him!� The Count said joyously. �Kenina herana lobena verna oshara yonata no jistu!� Kynoto said as he formed the seals of heaven, earth, fire, speed, and death. �Nooooooo!!!! Yo.. You can�t know that! Only the Shape-shifter Jitsu ninja knows that, and he is a part of me!� The monster roared. �That may be, but you haven�t heard of me before, and that is because I have been asleep inside of this man for thirteen thousand years. I am Kynotoenshi, the copycat,� Kynotoenshi shouted, a malicious stare in his eyes. �Ahhhhh, how could this be real?! Its unbelievable, this power, its huge. But that means! No, I won�t let yo..� The abominator was silenced. An angel of death had appeared and cut off the monsters head, then another angel appeared and vaporized the remains of the monster. The final angel, an earth angel, sucked up all the souls with great haste, then disappeared. The Abominator now had no souls to gather energy from to reform itself. It was dead. The Count was stunned. He had never dreamed that anyone alive had this much power. It was at least four times bigger than his. �N-nice, very nice K-kynoto or K-Kynotoenshi, well which ever one you are, nice job,� The Count stammered shocked at what he had just seen. �I assure you, I am Kynoto now, and will be from now on. When Kynotoenshi took over, I gained all of his knowledge and powers. So I can use his powers while remaining Kynoto now. This is very interesting though. Three souls trapped in one body; Kynotoishi, this Kynotoenshi fellow, and me. The Hero of Light was made of three people, heh, no wonder he was the second strongest fighter, but now, the hero has been undone and the souls released or absorbed. This new power I feel, has not yet reached its full potential and I hope it does during my service to you My Liege,� Kynoto said as he bowed deeply. The Count looked pleased. He muttered something and a golden ninja sword appeared out of thin air. Then he stated clearly, �This..this shall be your weapon Kynoto. It is one of the finest blades ever crafted. It bears the name �The Golden Killer� for a reason. It has, at the hands of Count Dracula�s ninja nephew, Gromir, devoured at least fifty thousand souls. It is stronger then you can imagine, but you might be able to bring out that power Kynoto.� He handed the brilliantly jewel encrusted sword to Kynoto, who inspected the blade. It was much like a Shigathian blade. It was almost perfectly balanced in every aspect, it had a blood channel that he saw went straight into the hilt, which he examined next. What he saw next startled him. He saw that the hilt was made of clear glass and that it was a container of some sort. It was filled with blood, making an impressive clash of red against gold. �Ahh, now you see its true purpose. It is also called �The Blood Taker� from the fact that it takes a drop of blood from its victims and stores it for emergencies or for long journeys. It is a true vampire sword,� The Count said mystically as he saw Kynoto looking at it curiously. �This is a fine blade. It�s even better then my Shigathian Sword,� Kynoto said truthfully. There was a shocked science then Galamgrithal asked carefully, �You have a Shigathian Sword? Aren�t those just a myth?� �Ahh, and I thought yourselves just to be a myth as well, but you�re as real as I am. Here, see for yourself,� Kynoto said as he drew out his blade and tossed it to Galamgrithal. �Absolutely amazing. Just as they are said to be. Almost perfectly balanced." |
