"Found them," Yoichi Saotome said, after Shinya Hīragi and Yuichi had used their weapons to survey the City Hall building from the windows.
"Found them," Yoichi Saotome said, after Shinya Hīragi and Yuichi had used their weapons to survey the City Hall building from the windows. "It's that vampire noble we saw in Shinjuku."
Aoki took the binoculars from Guren Ichinose, looking towards the location indicated by Yoichi Saotome and Shinya Hīragi. He saw Crowley Eusford, the thirteenth progenitor, along with his subordinates, the seventeenth progenitors, Chess Belle and Horn Skuld.
Adding Ferid Bathory, the seventh progenitor, made it the same four vampire nobles Aoki had fought alone in Shinjuku.
"What do you see?" Guren Ichinose asked, taking the binoculars from Aoki.
Aoki replied, "The same vampire nobles from Shinjuku. But they're no match for me now. If I go all out, they'll all die."
Guren Ichinose smiled. "Then kill them. We'll rescue the captured soldiers."
Aoki nodded in agreement. He'd mentioned a similar plan earlier; to obtain the Rinnegan, he needed to eliminate Crowley Eusford and the others quickly.
Seeing Aoki's nod, Yoichi Saotome understood. He nocked an arrow and fired it at the window of the room where Crowley Eusford and the others were located.
Crowley Eusford, sensing the killing intent, reacted instantly, catching the arrow before crushing it.
Aoki then sprang into action, running and leaping towards Crowley Eusford's location. The distance was too great, so he threw a Flying Raijin kunai.
The kunai landed precisely at Crowley Eusford's feet. Before he could react, Aoki appeared before him, a Rasengan forming in his right hand.
"Rasengan!"
Before Crowley Eusford could react, Aoki slammed the Rasengan into his stomach, sending him flying backward.
"Lord Crowley!" Chess and Horn cried out, but Aoki's swift kick sent them flying as well.
Crowley Eusford rose from the rubble, his expression changing upon seeing Aoki.
"It's that guy from Shinjuku. This is bad." Gripping his weapon, Crowley Eusford glared at Aoki. He knew Aoki's strength; in Shinjuku, he, Ferid Bathory, Chess Belle, and Horn Skuld had barely managed to threaten Aoki. Without Ferid Bathory, defeating Aoki would be extremely difficult.
"We meet again," Aoki said, Yōitsu appearing in his hand. A playful glint was in his eyes. "My comrades don't seem to be treated well by your subordinates. Do you think you three can escape me alive this time without that silver-haired vampire?"
Aoki made his intentions clear: he was here to kill them all.
"Don't be so bloodthirsty," Crowley Eusford laughed, despite the dire situation. He perfectly mirrored Ferid Bathory's personality: never panic. "The main vampire force will arrive in a few hours, including the third progenitor. I can't last three moves against her."
"And how many moves do you think you can withstand against me?" Aoki said, though somewhat wary of the third progenitor.
"Why ask such a pointless question? Just killing you here will answer it. You'll die, but before you do, the answer will be clear."
Aoki charged at Crowley Eusford, unleashing a full-powered strike with Yōitsu.
However, Chess Belle and Horn Skuld intercepted the attack, flying backward and crashing into a wall.
"Lord Crowley, run! Chess Belle and I will hold him off!" Horn Skuld said, struggling to her feet. They knew Aoki's capabilities and that he could easily kill them all. The best option was to let Crowley Eusford escape while they bought him time.
But Crowley Eusford shook his head. "Useless. He could kill you both instantly, so you can't buy me much time. The best option is for the three of us to fight him and hold out until other nobles arrive. If no reinforcements come, we're doomed."
Crowley Eusford wasn't underestimating Chess Belle and Horn Skuld or overestimating Aoki; Aoki was that strong. From the moment he saw Aoki, Crowley Eusford sensed a more intense aura than in Shinjuku.
The four of them had barely threatened Aoki; now, without Ferid Bathory, they wouldn't even stand a chance.
"Trying to buy time for reinforcements, huh? Let's see," Aoki said, sensing their intentions. He wouldn't give them a chance to escape. This was war—cruel and unforgiving. If he let them go, he might become a hostage later.
Besides, according to Crowley Eusford, the third progenitor would arrive in a few hours. Aoki didn't know if he could handle her, so time was critical.
His eyes shifted from three-tomoe Sharingan to Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
Aoki charged again.
