"Towards Shinjuku"
"What? A human is quite skilled. What are you?" Crowley Eusford, the vampire noble whose arm Aoki had severed, quickly distanced himself. The injury, inflicted by Cursed Gear, wouldn't heal quickly.
Ignoring Crowley Eusford, Aoki shielded Shinoa Hīragi and the others. "You all fall back. This guy is beyond your capabilities."
Even Aoki had to get serious. Eight thousand combat power was not easily overcome, even for him.
"Are you kidding me?! You think you can handle him?!" Yūichirō Hyakuya protested. His family had been killed by a vampire noble.
While he didn't know the true extent of a noble's power, he knew this one was far stronger than they were.
"Judging by the speed of his attack on Shinoa, could you have reacted?" Aoki's counter-question left Yūichirō Hyakuya speechless.
If the vampire had attacked him with that speed, he wouldn't have stood a chance; he would have been instantly killed.
As they spoke, two figures descended from the sky—both female, and both Level 1 armed vampires, like Crowley Eusford.
"Ding!"

Identity: 17th progenitor vampire.

"More vampire nobles," Aoki muttered, his brow furrowing. "If I go all out, I might be able to take them all down."
"What do we do? Retreat?" Shinoa Hīragi asked, seeing the two additional nobles.
Aoki waved a dismissive hand. "No retreat. Taking on three of them will be difficult, but not impossible."
Shinoa Hīragi wasn't sure if Aoki was crazy or supremely confident, but if even he couldn't stop them, they had no chance of survival.
"Crowley-sama, what are you doing here?" Chess Belle asked. "And what happened to your arm?"
"Did those humans do that? Impossible. Crowley-sama is incredibly strong. Mere humans couldn't do that," Horn Skuld added incredulously.
Crowley Eusford looked at his empty sleeve and chuckled wryly. "Yes, a human cut off my arm. A very strong one, at that."
He pointed to Aoki. "That one. His sword is incredibly fast."
"I see. That human is quite strong," Chess Belle said. "But Crowley-sama, while I'm furious about your arm, we can't stay. The 7th progenitor is summoning you."
Crowley Eusford: "Ferid-kun wants me? Too bad. I wanted to fight that human properly. But since Ferid-kun needs me, I'll have to meet them again later. I wonder if they'll even survive until then."
He picked up his severed arm and looked at Aoki. "Hey! Human, we're leaving for now! Maybe we'll meet again!"
The three vanished instantly.
Shinoa Hīragi let out a sigh of relief. "Whew, good thing they didn't attack. With just us, I don't know if we could have survived."
Aoki didn't pursue them. Three nobles attacking simultaneously would be a headache, and there was no guarantee that more wouldn't appear. He chose to remain cautious.
"What a joke! He just toyed with us!" Yūichirō Hyakuya was furious. Crowley Eusford clearly hadn't taken them seriously.
"Quiet. We leave before they change their minds and rendezvous with the Shinjuku forces," Mitsuba Sangū said, her extensive battlefield experience making her assessment the most practical.
They headed towards Shinjuku.
Shinoa Hīragi approached Aoki. "Thank you for saving my life. If it weren't for you, I'd be dead. Lieutenant Colonel Guren told me you care about your comrades. It seems he was right."
Aoki didn't accept her thanks. "It was convenient. Don't thank me. Thank God you're on my team. And I never considered you reliable comrades. You're all just burdens hindering my performance."
His words were harsh, but Shinoa Hīragi saw through his act. His actions showed he cared deeply, never truly viewing them as burdens. He likely hid his true self for some reason.
Reaching Shinjuku, they saw soldiers running everywhere.
"Hurry!"
"Where are they?"
"West side! Shinjuku is the second city of the Japanese Imperial Demon Army. We won't allow vampire intrusion!"
"What are the Vampire Extermination Units doing?"
Seeing the soldiers' panic, they quickened their pace to join the Shinjuku forces.
"What's the situation?" Yūichirō Hyakuya asked.
"As you see, under attack by vampires," Shinoa Hīragi replied.
Suddenly, two helicopters appeared, firing missiles at them.
Aoki and the others quickly evaded the attack.
They found a group of soldiers engaged in combat with vampires. Since the vampires were all Level 2 armed, with Aoki and the others joining the fight, the vampires were swiftly and brutally slaughtered.
