In Mika's fantasy world, events were indeed unfolding much as Luke had anticipated.
From the moment Yuichiro and Mika began their duel, Yuichiro was beaten almost to a pulp; fortunately, his health bar was thick enough.
With the other demons interfering with Mika, even though he had lost the power of the Seraph, he still managed to wake Mika's memories using Talk-no-Jutsu and the Friendship Face-Breaking Punch.
Don't ask why; the answer is friendship!
While Mika was dazed, Ghost Box King and asuramaru tried to take the opportunity to seize him.
However, Yuichiro and onikiri had long anticipated this. For a moment, a chase ensued once more, but Mika regained his senses quickly and gained a deeper understanding of his power, vanishing with Yuichiro and onikiri right in front of all the demons.
"Ah, it's over. The mission failed."
There was frustration in Ghost Box King's voice, but he didn't wail or cry out.
The other demons remained silent, clearly unwilling to accept this outcome.
Except for Shinya.
"I guess we have no choice but to head back now."
Shinya still wore a smile, as if he had already captured Mika.
Ghost Box King glanced at Shinya and said nothing. With a wave of his hand, a black coffin appeared out of thin air. Shinya couldn't wait to open it and crawl inside.
"See you later then, everyone."
Shinya felt that after so much time, the wielders of Ghost Box King and Moonlight Rhyme in the real world must have woken up. Once he returned, it wouldn't be so easy for them to trouble him again.
Moonlight Rhyme spat as he watched Shinya disappear.
"Pah! He didn't help at all. Just wait until I get a chance to deal with him!"
After saying that, he walked toward the black coffin with a disgruntled look, clutching his wound.
But just as he reached the black coffin, its lid snapped shut.
Moonlight Rhyme turned to look at Ghost Box King in confusion.
Ghost Box King chuckled and snapped his fingers, summoning another black coffin.
"I never said that one was the passage back to the real world. This one is."
The demons couldn't help but think that Ghost Box King was truly devious! But thinking of Shinya's annoying attitude, they felt it was a job well done.
Ghost Box King found it strange when no one entered this time.
"Huh? Aren't you guys leaving?"
byakkomaru said simply and directly.
"You go first."
Ghost Box King seemed to realize why and laughed.
"Don't worry, this one is for real."
But to make them believe him, he ended up being the first to crawl inside.
Seeing that capturing Mika was hopeless, asuramaru went to Krul's side, patted her shoulder, and gave a faint smile.
"Let's go. We won't hitch a ride; it feels like an illegal taxi."
Then, he and Kyle opened a passage together and left this fantasy world.
In a corner of the fantasy world.
"...Nine hundred ninety-eight, nine hundred ninety-nine, one thousand! Ah! How long is this stupid rope going to take to disappear!"
Luke was still hanging upside down. With nothing to do, he had counted to a thousand, but the rope still hadn't vanished.
"Heavens, if you let me down, I'll definitely study hard every day and... Whoa!"
Halfway through his sentence, his legs felt loose, and he fell face-first onto the ground.
Luke sat up, rubbed his nose, and gave the sky an internationally recognized gesture of friendship.
"I'm done! Just let the world be destroyed!"
Just after Luke said those words, as if his words had the power of law, a crack suddenly appeared in the sky.
The crack grew larger and larger, spreading all the way to the ground. In an instant, it covered the entire world, looking like the apocalypse.
Luke's expression went numb; he was truly too shocked to speak.
"You're really something."
Crack.
The sound of shattering glass echoed through this world, and everything was annihilated along with it.
After all, the master of this world had already left... The real world.
Krul opened her eyes, clutching her head as she sat up from the bed.
She hadn't expected this trip to be so mentally taxing.
Krul looked around, feeling a slight sense of familiarity.
Aside from the cloth-wrapped sword where asuramaru resided and the bed beneath her, there was nothing else around.
And there wasn't a single ray of light, just like... That bastard Luke! How dare he throw my body into the room where special blood supplies are kept!
Krul's knuckles cracked as she clenched her fists.
Because of Luke, Krul no longer needed special blood supplies. The rooms in this area had been vacant, and fortunately, they weren't affected by the previous earthquake. Leaving Krul's body here was almost entirely safe.
Even knowing this, Krul decided she had to use this as an excuse to teach Luke a lesson.
Krul got out of bed, picked up asuramaru, and walked out.
Reaching the door, she kicked it.
Bang!
The door that Luke had once been helpless against ended its mundane life.
The commotion attracted two patrolling Vampires, but they turned to leave once they realized it was Krul.
Just as the two Vampires turned around, they saw Krul standing before them with a calm expression.
One Vampire asked with a smile.
"Does Lady Krul need something?"
Krul sized them up. They looked unfamiliar. Although she didn't know every Vampire in Sanguinem by name, she had at least seen most of them. These two were complete strangers.
"Whose subordinates are you?"
The Vampire who hadn't spoken yet replied somewhat arrogantly.
"Lest Karr's— Ah!"
As soon as he uttered Lest Karr's name, he felt a sharp pain in his right leg and couldn't help but scream as he collapsed.
Krul lowered her hand indifferently and said coldly.
"So you're his subordinates. No wonder you're so ill-mannered. Two lower-ranking trash—who gave you the right to answer me while standing straight?"
The other Vampire was clearly more sensible and quickly bowed his head, dropping to one knee.
"Forgive us, Lady Krul. We just arrived in Japan and don't know the rules here yet... Ugh..."
His right arm was severed, but he endured it without crying out.
"Are you implying that things are too troublesome here in Japan?"
"No... no... I just... I'm just not used to it yet."
His body began to tremble, and cold sweat broke out. Even if he didn't report to Krul, a Lower-ranking Vampire was like an ant before a Progenitor. If they were killed, they deserved it.
He waited a long time without hearing anything more from Krul. His companion, who had reattached his leg by now, patted him and said with lingering fear.
"She... Lady Krul has already left."
He looked up and indeed, Krul was gone, but several Sanguinem Vampires were nearby, pointing and whispering at them.
"Hahaha, they're usually so arrogant. I told you, if they ran into Lady Krul or Lord Luke, they'd definitely be taught a lesson."
Hearing the gossip from the Sanguinem Vampires, the two didn't dare say anything. They had lost face completely and decided it was best to leave.
Krul was just annoyed by their attitude. If she didn't discipline them, they'd really think she was inferior to Lest Karr.
Before long, Krul arrived at the place where the Progenitors were gathered.
Guren was the first to notice Krul and greeted her with a smile.
"Yo, Lady Krul. Why are you only arriving now? Is Mr. Luke not with you?"
Lest Karr snorted.
"He's probably too afraid to face the Progenitor and has gone into hiding somewhere."
Krul really didn't know what was going on in Lest Karr's head and didn't even want to acknowledge him.
"Idiot."
"You..."
Just as Lest Karr was about to retort, he was interrupted by movement in the center of the plaza.
Lest Karr was going crazy. He felt that since coming to Japan, nothing had gone right. Every time Krul insulted him, he was interrupted, and he had been forced to swallow his pride countless times!
Rig watched the Cursed Formation shimmering with light and asked Urd with a smile.
"The Progenitor is making another move. Are you nervous?"
Urd maintained a poker face.
"At this point, there's nothing else to be done."
"How pessimistic. Can't you say something like 'I believe Lord Rig will surely succeed'?"
"It seems you've learned how to daydream in human society."
"Sigh, what a cold fellow. When the Progenitor kills you, I definitely won't help."
"Worry about yourself."
The light from the Cursed Formation grew brighter, and a mass of black mist appeared in the center. From within the mist came the sound of chains rattling.
