[As above, so below. Ciri may be striking from the back - Alucard is aiming for the front, his own sword angled up to dig into the thing's guts and hold it fast. Only a madman or an overly powered dhampir would think it possible to use the sword as a sort of leash or leverage to throw the thing in another direction, but that is the dhampir's goal.
Once up to the hilt, Alucard twists sharply, and the beast bellows as it is forced in the direction Alucard decrees. Southwest. Away from the crypt entrance, away from Alucard. He withdraws the blade, ignoring the stench of rotted entrails that follows, and watches the thing let out a sickening full body shudder.

It isn't enough. It's still standing.]
