"Operation Commences"
At 7:00 AM the next day, everyone was ready. Guren Ichinose had initially planned to assign a veteran squad to protect Aoki's team, but with Aoki's overwhelming strength, it was unnecessary.
The situation was too urgent to weaken a powerful unit.
"Alright, let's go," Aoki said, addressing his squad for the first time.
"Guren-san said this mission is no joke; it'll be even more brutal than Shinjuku. Don't get complacent. I can't guarantee your safety, so be careful. If you encounter insurmountable opponents, retreat or hide behind me."
"If you face someone even I can't handle, run. I'll hold them off. Don't throw your lives away easily. Understand?"
Aoki's serious tone mirrored the solemn expressions on his squad's faces. They understood the mission's gravity; one mistake could be fatal, far surpassing the danger of the Shinjuku battle.
They headed to their destination—Nagoya.
Upon arrival, they prepared themselves, as there was still some time before the attack.
With twenty minutes to go, Aoki gave his orders. "Everyone, gather. Final confirmation for this mission."
They assembled, and Aoki unfolded a map. "At 2:00 PM, the Moon Demon Company will attack eight vampire nobles scattered throughout Nagoya. Our target is the fifteenth progenitor, Lucal Wesker".
"The expected location is here. If we can't kill him, cut off his escape route and prevent him from joining the other nobles."
"Then we'll wait for Guren-san's squad to arrive for support after they eliminate their targets. Honestly, against the fifteenth progenitor alone, I think I can take him down in three moves. Oh, right, there are ten vampire nobles in Nagoya. Eight will be engaged at 2:15 PM. Fifteen people from the Moon Demon Company—three squads—will target each noble. We're only one squad."
"Because of me, there's no need to deploy additional forces. If you encounter someone I can't handle, you'll be instantly killed. But the target locations are close. If we fail and the nobles regroup, we're screwed. That would be fun, though."
"Basically, we just need to do our job. Don't worry about the others. If we're fast enough, we can support other squads. But let me be clear: I'll personally kill any vampire nobles we encounter. You guys just watch. Don't ask why; asking means a slap."
Yūichirō Hyakuya grew impatient. "So, we just need to kill that Lucal guy, right? Let the five of us go first. If we can handle him, we'll defeat him, and you can deliver the final blow."
"No," Aoki refused. "It has to be a swift victory for me. You guys deal with the smaller fry. Nagoya won't be easy, so we need to eliminate all the nobles quickly. If a progenitor ranked fifth or higher arrives, we're in trouble."
"The mission is about to begin. Stay sharp. Don't get killed. I don't want to lose any more comrades. The person most important to me is already gone. Everything I do now is to find her."
"So, let's do our best together."
The mission began. Yoichi, the sniper, took his position, while Aoki and the others took up their ambush positions.
Yoichi, using his Cursed Gear, observed the area. He spotted four figures near the target location; one was likely the fifteenth progenitor.
Lucal Wesker was enjoying some blood like fine wine, complaining to his attendant, "To mobilize us against mere humans… and to issue such arrogant orders from Kyoto… infuriating."
He took another sip of blood. "Krul Tepes… when did I become her subordinate? Our factions are different. But she's a higher progenitor, so I have to obey. So frustrating."
Suddenly, Wesker noticed something. He saw Aoki approaching calmly.
His eyes narrowed.
His subordinates charged, but were swiftly eliminated by Yūichirō Hyakuya and the others.
Yoichi, seeing his chance, nocked an arrow and fired a green arrow at Wesker.
Wesker sensed the danger from above. He grabbed his attendant and used him as a shield.
The attendant died instantly.
Wesker, his enjoyment of the blood ruined, was enraged.
"Mere livestock, daring to be so arrogant. You don't fear me?" His gaze fell on Aoki, clearly the squad leader. "You humans send only one squad against a noble? Your commander doesn't intend for you to return alive."
After Yūichirō Hyakuya and the others dealt with the lesser vampires, Aoki slowly raised his head, his eyes now three-tomoe Sharingan.
"The fifteenth progenitor. Even Ferid Bathory, the seventh, was defeated by me. I wonder how many of my attacks you can withstand?"
