"Are you sure they're still inside?"
Not far outside Omotesando Station, Hiiragi Kureto questioned the Shinoa Squad.
As the leader, Shinoa Hiragi stepped forward to answer.
"Yes. One is the Queen of the Vampire city, and the other is the Vampire who defeated Lieutenant Colonel Guren and a group of soldiers during the last attack on Shibuya First High School. That's why we requested your support, Brother Kureto, but I didn't expect you to come in person."
Hiiragi Kureto corrected her heartlessly.
"Address me by my rank when on a mission!"
Shinoa Hiragi nodded, indicating she understood, but as she lowered her head, she playfully stuck out her tongue and made a face where Hiiragi Kureto couldn't see.
Other members of the Imperial Demon Army who saw didn't dare to remind him. After all, Shinoa Hiragi was also a member of the Hiiragi Family, and it wasn't a very important matter. If Hiiragi Kureto didn't see it, then so be it.
Shinoa Hiragi pointed toward the station entrance and asked.
"Lieutenant General Kureto, is it okay? We just let a Vampire run inside. Aren't you afraid of alerting the enemy?"
Hiiragi Kureto shook his head.
"That Vampire was far from his companions at the time, so we couldn't catch them all at once. But it doesn't matter. The other exits of the station have collapsed. Those Vampires can only come out from here."
"Relying only on us, we might not be able to take down those two guys."
At this time, Guren walked over and expressed his opinion.
Beside Hiiragi Kureto, a capable woman with blonde hair immediately retorted.
"Ichinose Guren, saying such discouraging words before the fight even starts—are you trying to disturb the army's morale? With Lord Hiiragi Kureto here, there won't be any problems!"
Guren looked at this woman with disdain and said indifferently.
"Kureto Hiiragi, don't be so protective of your master; I'm just telling the truth."
"You..."
"Enough!"
Hiiragi Kureto interrupted the two and began to seriously consider the possibility of taking down these two Vampires with the current manpower.
Guren had fought both of these Vampires, so his words carried weight.
This time, Hiiragi Kureto brought all members of the Guren Squad, some cadres he trusted and promoted, and thirty soldiers from the Imperial Demon Army Defense Force.
These thirty people surrounded a metal box the size of a container. Inside was the Hiiragi Family's latest research. There was no means of control yet; once used, it wouldn't distinguish between friend and foe.
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, Hiiragi Kureto would never want to open this iron box.
Guren felt uncomfortable staying by Hiiragi Kureto's side. Without even saying hello, he put his hands in his pockets and returned to where his teammates were.
Hiiragi Kureto ordered several members of the Defense Force to set up a Barrier. One must have multiple layers of insurance for everything.
"Everyone! Check if you still have cursed gear booster drugs. Be prepared to sacrifice yourselves. For the survival of humanity, we must not let a single Vampire escape!"
"Yes, sir!"
The Imperial Demon Army responded passionately.
"Reporting, Lieutenant General, I don't have any!"
Hiiragi Kureto frowned and turned toward the source of the sound, his pupils suddenly shrinking.
"Lieutenant General, can you give me two pills?"
Luke and Krul had already exited the station at some unknown time, and the Lower-ranking Vampire who had accidentally been let go was also with them.
Luke's hand was still raised in the air, his face beaming with a smile.
"Prepare for battle!"
Hiiragi Kureto ordered everyone into combat status.
Luke rubbed his chin and said disappointedly.
"I thought you were the very steady type who remained calm no matter what happened. It turns out you also have times when you get startled."
Luke tilted his head to look at the Lower-ranking Vampire and nodded toward Hiiragi Kureto.
"There, you go and kill this Imperial Demon Army Lieutenant General."
"Huh?"
The Lower-ranking Vampire was stunned, unable to believe his ears. But since the Progenitor had spoken, he couldn't disgrace the dignity of the Vampires. He answered with a stiff expression.
"Okay!"
Luke slapped him on the back of the head.
"Okay my ass! Can you even beat him?"
Krul couldn't take it anymore and gave Luke a kick.
Luke knew what Krul meant and stopped teasing the brainless Vampire.
"Go find the ugly ones to fight; those are relatively weak."
The Imperial Demon Army side wasn't without reaction either. The Defense Force by the iron box moved immediately.
Only five people remained by the iron box, while the rest prepared to surround Luke and Krul, wanting to activate the Barrier to trap them temporarily.
Noticing the Imperial Demon Army soldiers who were about to reach the Barrier nodes, Luke felt his intelligence was being insulted.
"Hey, do you think I'll wait for you to get into position? Why don't you put a knife to my throat before you start the fight?"
Luke's calves suddenly exerted force as he charged toward one of the nodes. Krul also wanted to strike down several people, but she was intercepted by the Guren Squad.
"I won't let you succeed!"
Jujo Mika blocked Krul's path and used several incantations in advance to augment herself. Her hands wore Kagutsuchi as she stared fixedly at Krul.
Krul showed a contemptuous smile.
"I must say, to speak so confidently in front of me, you really are ridiculous!"
Krul didn't slow down, attacking Jujo Mika directly.
Bang!
Krul adjusted her body in mid-air, dodging a bullet that shot into the ground.
Bang!
Another bullet followed immediately. Krul frowned, still dodging it easily.
Krul looked toward the roof of the abandoned high-rise in the distance. She noticed the reflection from the sniper scope and murmured.
"Is it there? Like a fly."
But for a moment, Krul really had no way to deal with Hiiragi Shinya.
Yukimi Shigure and Sayuri Hanayori also joined the battle, but neither could last a single round. If Hiiragi Shinya hadn't forced Krul back with several attacks, they would have already suffered casualties.
But almost no one noticed that under Krul's several attacks, the battlefield gradually shifted toward the Imperial Demon Army soldiers setting up the Barrier.
Just as Krul was about to reach the timing to attack the node, she suddenly frowned and sniffed.
No, the scent was wrong. There was still some distance to those Imperial Demon Army soldiers!
"Illusion? To be effective on me, it really is impressive."
A cold light suddenly rushed toward Krul's back. Krul jumped in place and, upon landing, threw a punch toward an empty direction.
Guren abruptly appeared before Krul's eyes, taking a punch to his back. He used the momentum to roll forward and dissipate part of the force.
The Imperial Demon Army soldiers who had seemed close in Krul's eyes suddenly became illusory and then appeared further away.
Goshi Norito was panting heavily, his forehead covered in sweat. He took out a cursed gear booster drug, preparing to take it.
"She's broken out of the illusion! Everyone, be careful!"
There was no helping it; making a being like Krul fall into an illusion consumed too much energy. He couldn't hold it for long.
Having left the illusion, Krul immediately noticed the Illusionist. How could she possibly let him recover?
"Damn it! Norito, get out of the way!"
Though Norito was tall and sturdy, his close-combat strength was indeed inferior to his companions. He couldn't react in time. Just as he put the cursed gear booster drug into his mouth, he was kicked in the face by Krul.
Crack!
The sound of a skull fracturing rang out.
Fearing Krul would continue to finish him off, Guren rushed over.
"mahiru no yoru! Give me the power to kill her!"
Demonic Aura enveloped Guren's whole body, and a figure only Guren could see appeared behind him.
"Then you're really making things difficult for me, Guren."
Hiiragi Mahiru showed a helpless expression. How could Krul be so easy to defeat?
On the other side, Luke was also stopped.
"Let me test your skills!"
Hiiragi Kureto drew Thunder Demon, his aura imposing.
Luke looked at himself. Besides asuramaru wrapped in cloth on his back, he had no weapon for the time being.
"What a pain."
Luke took down asuramaru from his back. He didn't unwrap the cloth; otherwise, the Demonic Aura would leak and continue to erode him.
"I can only use it as a blunt weapon, but that's fine."
Luke gave Hiiragi Kureto a gentle smile.
"I'm going to beat you until you cry!"
