onikiri ran off with Yuichiro, originally thinking things would go smoothly since other demons were looking to cause trouble for Mika.
But when he tried to look back at the situation, he found Mika chasing after him at an even faster speed.
"To hell with this! Why is he chasing me?! It can't be because I called him a cat-eared Shorty, can it?"
onikiri asked Yuichiro, whom he was carrying in his hand.
"Hey, kid, do you have any clue?"
Yuichiro also looked back at Mika. Before, he couldn't see the face from behind, but now that he saw it, he looked exactly like Mika—this really was Mika!
Yuichiro shook his head.
"I don't know why he's chasing you either. Put me down, I want to save Mika."
Bang!
onikiri's merciless iron fist fell upon Yuichiro's thick head, making a dull thud.
"Save my ass, this guy is a lunatic!"
Chasing behind them, Mika saw Yuichiro take a solid punch to the head, and his expression immediately turned cold as water.
The opponent was completely disregarding him!
Soon, as onikiri was blocked by a suddenly appearing Bronze Statue, Mika successfully caught up. Without a word, a sharp cross lunged toward onikiri.
onikiri's demon hand steered his blade to deflect the cross, but his body from the knees down was driven into the ground by the terrifying force.
Yuichiro spoke up urgently.
"Hey, onikiri, put me down. I'll talk to Mika."
onikiri was getting a bit annoyed; he didn't understand how a person could be so brainless.
"Are you an idiot? Look at the situation we're in!"
Yuichiro said earnestly,
"Trust me, onikiri, I can handle this!"
Seeing Mika right in front of them and the next attack about to fall, onikiri could only try anything in a desperate situation.
"You... fine, just my luck!"
In an instant, onikiri turned into a cloud of black mist and then transformed into the shape of a japanese sword. However, the demon hand beside him did not disappear; instead, it moved behind Yuichiro.
Yuichiro found that with the power of the demon hand supporting him, he could actually fly.
Just as Yuichiro wanted to praise how cool the new form was, onikiri's voice shouted in his mind.
"Dodge it already!"
Yuichiro looked up to see another cross smashing down toward him.
Narrowly, Yuichiro avoided it.
Mika looked down at Yuichiro from above and asked,
"Who are you?"
He had originally thought this guy was a figment of his imagination, but now that shell seemed to be occupied by someone, yet the feeling it gave him was even stronger.
Yuichiro grinned and pointed his sword directly at Mika.
"I'm here to save you, Mika!"
Mika looked at Yuichiro's smiling face in a daze, as his emotions, dulled by the Demon Transformation, seemed to flicker again... On the other side, Ghost Box King was having a massive headache over the current problem.
Mika had undergone further Demon Transformation. Logically, they couldn't win; going there would just mean a total wipeout.
But if they just went back like this, the Progenitor's thousands-of-years-old plan would have problems because they failed to complete the mission.
The two generals, byakkomaru and Moonlight Rhyme, expressed their intent to fight to the death, while Shinya clamored to go back.
asuramaru was still arguing with Krul, and it was unclear what else he knew.
But what they didn't know was that the Progenitor was also currently facing a bit of trouble.
After the Progenitor used Shinoa Hiragi's body and overused its power, he began constructing some kind of ritual array in Shinoa Hiragi's Sea of Consciousness.
Suddenly, a surge of power flowed into Shinoa Hiragi's Sea of Consciousness. Shinoa, who had been imprisoned, woke up because of it, reclaimed control of her body, and rebuilt her Mental Barriers to shut the Progenitor out.
This turn of events was truly outside the Progenitor's expectations.
"The power of light... a Seraph?"
Fortunately, this didn't have much impact on the Progenitor's next plan. He wouldn't need Shinoa Hiragi's body for a long time anyway.
In the Progenitor's view, this wasn't an irreversible mistake. Perhaps... When Shinoa opened her eyes, her first thought was pain! It felt like every cell in her body hurt!
"Sleeping in the open makes it easy to catch a cold. Shinoa, you're being too careless with your body."
A familiar voice made Shinoa sit up abruptly. Looking at the girl in front of her, Shinoa said in surprise,
"Akane?! Why are you here?"
Byakuya Akane showed a mischievous smile and teased,
"If you can sleep here, why can't I take a walk here?"
Shinoa looked around and realized she was on a rooftop. Just as she was about to ask Byakuya Akane something, Byakuya Akane picked her up in a princess carry.
Byakuya Akane looked into the distance.
"We can talk on the way. Let's leave here first."
Shinoa looked at the Byakuya Akane before her, whose aura was completely different from before. Though she had many questions, she chose to remain silent for now.
However, this didn't mean she fully trusted Byakuya Akane. From the moment she woke up, Shinoa's hand had been resting on the Curse Talisman at her waist.
Shinoa watched as Byakuya Akane stood straight, and three pairs of wings unfurled from her back.
Eh?! Wi... Wings?!
Before Shinoa could even process her shock, a dull boom reached her ears—the sound of breaking the sound barrier.
Shinoa couldn't even see the surrounding scenery clearly.
Just as they left, Luke arrived at the rooftop where they had just been.
He held a sin key in his hand. The previously scalding sin key was rapidly cooling down, finally returning to a state of calm.
"Just left? Even the aura of the sin key has been masked..."
Luke tapped the sin key, hoping for some reaction, but the sin key was like it was broken, showing no response at all.
He had come searching based on what Krul and the other had said, intending to take the unconscious Shinoa back, but he hadn't expected it to be a wasted trip.
"Forget it, Yuichiro and Mika's side should have a result soon. I need to get back quickly."
Currently, the TV plot had changed quite a bit due to Luke's intervention, and the manga plot he knew was also nearing its end.
Next would be Mika becoming Yuichiro's sword, Rig dragging out the Progenitor's true body to peer into his memories, and revealing the truth of the Progenitor's plan.
Luke didn't know the developments beyond that. At that point, his script advantage would be greatly weakened.
What if Mika didn't become Yuichiro's sword according to the plot?
Just kidding! That's hot-blooded Yu. In any case, he would definitely shout about friendship, bonds, and whatnot, making Mika regain his memories and turn into his sword.
Luke might have doubted Yuichiro's sexual orientation, but he absolutely never doubted that Yuichiro could awaken Mika's memories.
He searched the nearby area briefly. Aside from a few Lower-ranking Vampires left on guard, there were no other living creatures.
Just as Luke was preparing to run back to Sanguinem, the sound of an engine caught his attention.
Turning to look, he saw a Vampire starting a supercar and opening the hood to check something.
"What are you doing?"
The Vampire was startled and turned to see Luke standing behind him with a beaming smile.
He quickly bowed and explained.
"Lord Luke, I found this car in an underground parking lot. I'm seeing which parts can be salvaged for use as spares for our armored vehicles."
Luke nodded, stepped forward, and casually closed the hood.
"You can go. I'm requisitioning this; I happen to be heading back to Sanguinem."
After saying that, Luke sat in the driver's seat.
As a maintenance and logistics specialist among the Vampires, this Vampire knew a bit about cars. Hearing this, he advised,
"If you want a car, you can choose another one. This one won't handle well on mountain roads. I'll go get you..."
Luke finished checking the car, saw a pair of sunglasses on the dashboard, put them on casually, and waved the Vampire away.
"If the person isn't capable, don't blame the road for being uneven."
Immediately after, he floored the gas, and the entire car flew out under the Vampire's incredulous gaze.
