Chapter 1224: Where is Leviathan?
The transplantation of Familiar Beasts generally depends on the will of the Familiar Beast itself.
Since Familiar Beasts are essentially aggregates of magical power with their own consciousness, if they are unwilling to leave their current host, the only option is to devour the host along with the Familiar Beast, thereby absorbing it into one's own body. After that, high-quality spiritual medium blood must be offered to awaken the Familiar Beast and gain its acknowledgment.
But looking down...
In the two shattered coffins, the two girls were clearly still lying there. Far from being devoured, not even a single scratch could be seen!
This indicated that Eiji had successfully seized the Familiar Beasts without devouring them!
It must be noted that these two Flame Light Night Dukes possessed their own wills. One of them had awakened decades ago, even destroying a Demon District, and it was only after Jia Da personally intervened that it was sealed.
This meant that these two Flame Light Night Dukes were not so willing to hand over their Familiar Beasts.
Without that willingness, theoretically, they would have to be devoured along with the Familiar Beasts to seize them.
"Familiar Beasts are all about appearances."
Eiji laughed arrogantly.
If Familiar Beasts were merely pure clusters of magical power, Eiji would have had no way to deal with them.
Unfortunately, these Familiar Beasts had developed self-awareness!
They were like wild beasts, autonomously choosing their hosts and "hunting" to sustain their existence.
This made it surprisingly easy for him to dominate these Familiar Beasts!
"Don't tell me... you charmed the Familiar Beasts?"
Jia Da looked at him with deep astonishment.
"I didn't even need to put in much effort to charm them successfully!"
Eiji wore an expression of triumphant pride.
The essence of Familiar Beasts is that they are wild beasts with immense power, making them highly susceptible to mental attacks.
In comparison, Eiji felt that charming A Ye had required more effort than charming the Familiar Beasts.
"When I watched the video, I wondered how you could manipulate the Familiar Beasts so flawlessly... So, you've already completely subjugated the Familiar Beasts under your control?"
Jia Da's face was full of awe.
Familiar Beasts cannot be dominated; at most, one can only borrow their power.
Even for the three True Ancestors, this is an unbreakable iron law!
As evidence, even the First True Ancestor, the Lost Warlord, cannot truly dominate his own Familiar Beasts!
But Eiji broke this convention!
His charm, more terrifying than the world's strongest succubus, effortlessly brought the Familiar Beasts—which even the First True Ancestor could not control—completely under his command!
Thus, he could use the power of the Familiar Beasts with extreme precision, giving exactly as much as needed—not a fraction more or less—stopping exactly when commanded, without a second's delay.
They were entirely at his mercy!
"Even the ancient Celestial Ministry couldn't achieve this, yet you've done it."
Jia Da shook her head as if deeply shaken.
"Huh? If you used charm just now, why didn't I feel anything at all?"
She suddenly realized something and looked at Eiji with suspicion.
Of course, she possessed a certain degree of mental resistance—among the twenty-seven familiars, there was indeed one of that type.
But she shouldn't have been completely unaware of a mental attack, right?
"Ask yourself!"
Eiji cast an ambiguous glance at her.
Why have you maintained this physique all along? Don't you have any idea?
Ask myself?
Jadda fell into deep thought.
Then, she suddenly struck her palm in realization.
"So that's it—it's because I've long been captivated by you!"
Eiji had never used charm on her.
The reason she had become like this was simply because she had been naturally drawn to him.
It wasn't just because of his outstanding appearance.
It was even more due to his astonishing skills, which surpassed hers as the "Ancestor of Martial Arts."
And the sheer strength and incredibility of him defeating her head-on at such a young age.
Of course, if his face weren't appealing, no amount of strength would have attracted her.
"Anyway, thank you for making the trip."
Eiji expressed his gratitude to Jadda with utmost sincerity.
"By the way, did you bring any spiritual mediums?"
The sixth and tenth familiars, though residing within him, were still dormant. They needed the blood of a spiritual medium to awaken and utilize their power.
The previous ten familiars had all awakened by absorbing Morgan's blood—the blood of a fairy from Avalon was truly of high quality.
"Such a trivial matter, you can handle it yourself."
"Fine."
Eiji nodded calmly.
Just two spiritual mediums—they were easy to find.
At the very least, there were Kanon, Lavelia, Sasasaki Sayaka, and Asagi.
"Now, onto the main matter."
In the room where not a single piece of furniture remained intact, Eiji found a stool and sat down.
Under Jadda's amused gaze, Eiji revealed a fierce smile.
"The nation of Japan has no reason to exist anymore."
...
"Send me every detail about this person named Nanjo Eiji, down to the smallest matter, directly to my phone!"
Kiriye Hijisaki called the upper echelons of the Taishikyoku, her tone almost commanding and harsh.
"Nanjo Eiji?"
The voice on the other end of the line sounded astonished.
"Your mission involves him?"
"You know him too?"
Kiriye was instantly shocked.
What's going on?
So this guy is that famous?
"Don't ask for specifics. His existence is tied to some major secrets. Only a very small number of people in the country are aware of this."
"Even I can't know?"
"No."
The refusal was blunt.
Kiriye was extremely displeased.
I'm one of the few capable experts the Taishikyoku can boast of, yet I don't even have the clearance to know a secret or two?
But on the other hand, doesn't that imply this secret is incredibly significant?
"Anyway, just send me the information related to him. I'll decide what to do."
"Alright. Actually, he just met with the Third True Ancestor today—"
"You say he met with the Third True Ancestor?!"
The voice on the other end instantly rose by a hundred and eighty decibels.
"Damn it! Japan is in big trouble!"
The higher-up's voice became extremely frantic.
"Beep—beep—beep—"
Immediately after, the call turned into a dead line.
"He actually hung up on me?"
Kiriye's face darkened.
"He said Japan is in big trouble—is it really that urgent?"
It couldn't be something like the end of Japan, could it?
Heh, no way, no way.
Present-day Japan still possesses considerable strength, with military capabilities fully capable of confronting the Duchy of the Night.
"Finished talking?"
Suddenly, a voice sounded by her ear, warm moist breath brushing against her neck.
Kirisaki Kanae's expression turned frosty as she immediately spun around, striking out with a palm strike toward the speaker!
Slap!
But her hand was effortlessly caught by the other party.
"You?"
Kirisaki Kanae froze momentarily, her expression shifting slightly.
Eiji!
Wasn't this guy supposed to have left with the Third True Ancestor?
Why has he come back to find me?
Could he have overheard my earlier conversation with the higher-ups?
Knowing this man's extraordinary origins, Kirisaki Kanae no longer dared to treat him with her previous flippant attitude.
"I have a question for you."
Eiji looked at her with a smiling expression.
"Where is Leviathan now?"
