"So, that's all you know?" Aoki asked Crowley Eusford. Crowley Eusford shook his head. "Really, that's all. While I'm relatively strong amon
"So, that's all you know?" Aoki asked Crowley Eusford.
Crowley Eusford shook his head. "Really, that's all. While I'm relatively strong among the vampire nobles in Japan, my low status prevents me from knowing inside information. Ferid Bathory and Krul Tepes both have their own agendas; I'm rather simple."
Aoki twitched a corner of his mouth at Crowley Eusford's last statement. "So, what do you want to do now? Perhaps you're not as evil as I thought. You were human, weren't you? Do you want to become human again? I know someone… a doctor who specializes in that kind of medicine…"
Aoki trailed off. He was thinking of Kanae Kocho. In the Demon Slayer world, she and Tamayo had developed a medicine to turn demons human.
Only now did he realize Kanae Kocho was gone. His dedication to the Vampire Extermination Unit was to find her in her world.
"Honestly, I'm not interested in becoming human again. If you can, kill me now. Do it decisively, like you did to my attendants," Crowley Eusford said, wanting to end it all after witnessing the deaths of his comrades.
Aoki fell silent, re-evaluating Crowley Eusford.
Then, his right eye transformed into a three-tomoe Sharingan.
"Sharingan, Genjutsu!"
As the Sharingan emitted a faint glow, Crowley Eusford's eyes glazed over, and Aoki seized his head.
Aoki leaned close. "From now on, you'll obey me. I'll let you go. Infiltrate Ferid Bathory's circle. If you learn of any plans by him or the third progenitor, tell me immediately."
"Yes," Crowley Eusford replied like a puppet. Aoki released him. Crowley Eusford was now under Aoki's genjutsu control. He appeared normal, but was completely subservient.
Even if Ferid Bathory discovered Crowley Eusford's control, they wouldn't be able to reverse it. At most, they'd imprison him, which wouldn't harm Aoki. It was a calculated move.
Yūichirō Hyakuya and Guren Ichinose's squad returned, rejoining Aoki.
"Aoki, we rescued everyone. What about the three vampire nobles? Did you kill them all?" Yūichirō Hyakuya asked, noticing two female vampire outfits on the floor but no sign of Crowley Eusford. Crowley Eusford seemed to have escaped.
"One escaped. He concealed his strength. Though he couldn't defeat me, he managed to escape. The other two are dead.
Look, their clothes are on the floor," Aoki said. If he hadn't obtained the Rinnegan after killing Chess and Ferid Bathory, he wouldn't have let Crowley Eusford live.
To conceal his Rinnegan, Aoki covered his left eye with his bangs, leaving only his right eye visible.
"Wow, amazing, Aoki! You killed two out of three! Letting the other one escape isn't shameful, considering his strength," Yūichirō Hyakuya said, patting Aoki on the shoulder.
Aoki smiled. "Indeed. But there's something I need to say."
His expression turned serious. "I've learned that more vampires will arrive in a few hours, including the third progenitor."
Everyone's faces fell. They knew vampire nobles were ranked by their position. The third progenitor was incredibly powerful. Aoki's serious expression indicated he wasn't confident in defeating her.
"I propose this: our mission is essentially complete. Guren-san, have Shinya or someone else lead the injured soldiers to the evacuation point. Send a combat-ready squad for protection; they could be ambushed."
"The third progenitor's arrival means her subordinates won't be weak. More vampire nobles will likely come. Seek reinforcements after returning to Shibuya. I don't think we can defeat them alone."
"Organize it, Guren-san. We don't have much time," Aoki said, taking on the role of commander. This made Guren Ichinose feel rather insignificant.
But what could he do? Aoki was the strongest in the Japanese Imperial Demon Army. Despite Guren Ichinose's seniority and rank, Aoki's superior strength made him feel inferior.
Still, Guren Ichinose wasn't petty. The Moon Demon Company had won a great victory at Nagoya, eliminating more than half of the ten vampire nobles. The others were either injured or fleeing, effectively neutralized.
However, they hadn't encountered Mikaela Hyakuya yet. They didn't know that Mikaela Hyakuya and his forces had arrived at Nagoya and killed dozens of Moon Demon Company members.
