I'm aware! [Alucard's reply is short and snappy and angry now. He doesn't need some stranger showing up behind him and backseat monster slaying! for god's sake.
The point is the pivot. Alucard hasn't withdrawn his sword yet, and that is for a reason. With the thing impaled, he can use his strength to keep moving it, or reorient the thing. It is the latter that happens to be the goal, and Alucard is shameless in making sure it is facing far away from his home. The desert is large, and he essentially uses the sword's point to spin the damn dead thing around, eyes facing northwest. Away from him, away from civilization.
Only then does he pull the sword out, accepting the rotted and blackened blood that pours out. Disgusting, but worth it.]</small.
There's nothing in that direction for miles!
