Dracula had not expected Regus to sense his approach.
Dracula, amongst countless other techniques that were not common in the modern times, had a special concealment technique that made him impossible to detect.
Back in the olden times, there was not a single individual who could see through this concealment, however, apparently with the changing times it was not as efficient as before.
In the few short seconds that he needed to go from the dungeon exit to Regus's palace, Regus was able to detect his presence and raise the alarm, a feat that absolutely delighted Dracula.
" I don't know, who you are, but I'll find out everything I want to know about you from interrogating your corpse " Regus said as he brandished his sword to fight against Dracula
However, much to his surprise, Dracula parried his sword attacks using nothing but a single finger.
His sword, that was sharp enough to cut through a dozen mountains at once, could not even land a scratch on this individuals finger-
Thankfully, Regus did not have to fight him alone for too long as within seconds the Aurelius clan god's arrived at the scene, outnumbering Dracula 6 to 1, with many more on the way.
" How delightful for you to gather them under the same roof " Dracula commented as he finally let out his fangs and allowed his nails to grow out of his finger tips.
In a transformation that looked eerily similar to a werewolf changing from his man-wolf form to full wolf form, Dracula transformed from looking like an almost civil modern vampire to his true primordial form.
Fangs that appeared like those inside the mouth of a canine beast grew out of his mouth, both being at least 5 inches long and capable of puncturing through one's neck.
Nails, a couple inches long grew out of his fingers as veins began popping out of every inch of his body.
The whites of his pupil turned red, however, his blood red irises still stood out as they turned a shade of neon red which was visibly glowing as if on fire.
With jet black hair over his pale skin, Dracula now looked more of a beast than a vampire and the Sanguis responded to his awakened form.
The river with half it's usual levels because it had already pledged much of it's loyalty to Max, responded strongly to Dracula's calling as blood droplets began rising from the river and surrounding the entire royal palace.
" Don't give him a chance to unleash his attack, that's a primordial vampire right there, the same from the books of the legend.
Attack now, with your full strength! " Regus commanded as despite not being able to inspect Dracula's stat panel, he made an accurate assessment based off his looks.

[ Divine Fire Slash ]
6 divine attacks zoomed in on Dracula as Regus refrained from attacking in favour of building his divine essence and calling the big guns with Ixtal's Supremacy.
If it were any other individual in the universe except Dracula, they would have been forced to dodge this formidable attack by six tier6 god's, however, the first vampire was not fazed.
Having reached the perfect mastery in blood manipulation, he was able to push the move to its peak, which was an elemental body transformation to blood itself.
When the divine attacks collided against his body, he changed the very nature of his being from solid to fluid as the attacks tore through him as if he were air before continuing to hit the wall behind him as their final target.
*KABOOM*
Regus's royal office was torn to shreds, the impact of the divine attacks spreading through the entire palace and blowing a hole through much of the eastern end.
The Aurelius gods were dumbfounded by this exchange and realised that if they wanted to hurt Dracula they needed to use a targeted form of attack rather than a general one like a powerful sword slice.
Unfortunately, most tier6 god's only knew a single divine attack and even if they learnt two, most did not have the acumen to use them back to back.
This meant that at least for a few minutes now, Regus was on his own on the offensive bit as all the other god's could do was help him with the defence.
[ Blood Bullet ]
Dracula commanded the blood droplets that were surrounding the entire palace to now zoom in with incredible velocity, turning them into blood bullets.
Within two short seconds, millions of blood droplets shot in and out of the royal palace, killing hundreds of innocent Aurelius clan soldiers that had nothing to do with the fight.
The king's palace lost its structural integrity from its very foundations itself and began collapsing, and alongside it did Regus's office, bringing everyone inside it for a freefall.
The blood bullet was so powerful, that even the tier6 god's that were hit by it were visibly black and blue at the spots where the bullets rained in on them as they appeared to be in a world of pain from the barrage, however, more so by the loss of loved ones.
" YOU, HEARTLESS BASTARD, MY WIFE WORKED IN THE KITCHEN DOWNSTAIRS, I'LL RIP YOU TO PIECES" a tier6 god screamed as he sensed that Dracula's attack killed his wife.
In his rage, he pounced on Dracula trying to crack his neck with sheer strength, however, unfortunately for him, he was caught mid-attack by Dracula who sunk his claws into his neck and ended his life using [ Blood Explosion ]
*SPLAT*
Blood splattered everywhere in the room, spraying each and everyone except Regus with a whole layer of red.
" Now you feel the pain my children did at seeing their loved ones killed " Dracula commented as he proceeded to use the move [ Blood Spikes ] and converted the blood splattered over the bodies of all the Aurelius gods into spikes that pierced their skin and internal organs as he skewered them where they stood.
