Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki.

"I don't have time to waste on a nobody like you."

“Good food.”

Looking at Liana, who had been transformed into a beautiful portrait, Makoto Haramura curled his lip and gave her a bad review.

Despite being a nobleman, he's so incompetent.

Even if the opponent could transform into a divine beast, they shouldn't be so easily defeated. They should at least be able to hold their own for two or three moves.

That's right, he has already figured out the state of the orc on the other side.

This is a high-level skill that only a very small number of orcs possess: Divine Beast Transformation.

This is also a crucial trump card that allows orcs to occasionally put up a fight against races like vampires.

After all, ordinary orcs are utterly useless, except for their great strength. Only the physical abilities of those transformed into divine beasts can rival those of vampires from the old era.

"You're next."

The Death Emperor, who had transformed into a giant wolf, lay sprawled on the ground with all four limbs on the ground. He twisted his head, opened his foul-smelling mouth, and grinned savagely at Haramura Makoto.

Haramura Seiya snapped out of his thoughts and looked at the furry creature lying on all fours in front of him.

"Would you be interested in being my dog?"

"?"

"Cough cough!"

Xiao Yacheng, who had already lit a cigarette to relieve his tension, choked on the smoke and ended up with a mouthful in his lungs.

Holy crap! That’s awesome!

No matter what, he's still the son of a deceased emperor, and he's considered a somewhat famous figure in this world.

It can only be said that he truly deserves to be called the Fourth True Ancestor.

Didn't you see that the damned emperor's face was already red with anger?

Huh? You can even tell someone is blushing from a hairy, gray face?

He must be furious.

"you you you……"

He was absolutely furious, so furious that water could practically boil over his head.

The Emperor was furious, so furious that he could barely finish his sentence.

"I am going to kill you."

Who is he?

He's the number two figure in the Black Death Emperor's faction, and they actually want to treat him like a dog?

And he's not a dog, he's transformed into a wolf.

It is a majestic wolf.

Don't you know that among the orcs, werewolves hate being seen as dog-men the most?

Ultimately, this misunderstanding is all the husky's fault; the dog looks too much like a wolf.

With a powerful stride, the ground shattered under his feet, and the Death Emperor vanished from his spot.

(Soon, this so-called divine beast transformation did indeed have a little bit of use.)

(At least in terms of speed alone, it has already reached the sound barrier.)

Makoto Haramura lowered his eyes slightly.

In terms of movement speed alone, it has reached a level similar to his current normal speed.

Don't underestimate this movement speed. Even as a saint, Kanzaki Kaori can only move at this speed without activating her Stigmata.

That is a saint, one of only twenty in the world.

"Ok!"

Instinctively, Makoto Haramura wanted to swing his arm and unleash a spatial slash.

However, he quickly stopped himself and slapped the armrest of the chair instead.

"Kakaka-!"

The temperature inside the stone chamber suddenly plummeted. Before, one could only feel cold, but now, just standing there, one felt as if one would freeze and lose consciousness.

A hazy white mist also floated throughout the stone chamber.

And right beneath that icy throne was a lifelike ice sculpture.

Hmm, an ice sculpture shaped like a large gray wolfhound.

Looking at his masterpiece, Makoto Haramura nodded in satisfaction.

She has maintained her public image and obtained the toy she wanted.

Such a beastman who can transform into a four-limbed animal is very rare. In addition, although this guy called Death Emperor is usually quite ugly, he looks pretty good after transforming.

After some training, he can be turned into a lapdog and then given to Xiao Qi.

"Alright, that's enough, you dead emperor."

"I am here on behalf of the War King's Domain to replace your international attack magician, now..."

A deep purple magic circle unfolded directly in the air.

A girl who looked to be about eleven or twelve years old walked out of the magic circle. She was wearing a black evening gown with white lace trim, and had long, black hair that reached her waist. Her face was as delicate as a finely sculpted porcelain doll.

However, she didn't have the expression a child should have; instead, a solemn feeling emerged in her deep blue pupils.

"What's happening here?"

……

She feels very lost about the current situation.

Her name is Nanami Nayuki, and she is known as the "Witch of the Gap". She is a Japanese national anti-demon officer and also a senior teacher at Itogami Island Ayakai Academy.

I am twenty-six years old this year.

Well, let's put aside the question of why I have such a childlike physique even though I'm only twenty-six.

She's here today for another part-time job.

As a public servant, she has a fixed salary and insurance that allow her to live a comfortable life.

However, there is a big difference between being well-off and being wealthy.

With such a low salary, she couldn't afford to live in a luxury apartment or meet her spending standards, unless she embezzled or accepted bribes.

Ahem! We've gone off on a tangent.

Therefore, in order to earn money to spend as she pleases, as one of the most outstanding witches in the world, she would also take on orders from other forces in her spare time.

For example, today she accepted a commission from the Serpent King of the War King's Domain to arrest the Death Emperor who had escaped from his clutches.

The reward is thirty million!

Therefore, she rushed over here as fast as she could. When she finally located the Emperor's Mansion and found it, she saw a scene that she could not understand at all.

A cold, damp room!

Well, she doesn't feel cold.

"Ok?"

First, she focused her gaze on Xiaoya City, and Nangong Nayue's face immediately showed a look of disgust.

Finally, Nanamiya Nayuki turned her gaze to Haramura Makoto and the blonde girl beside him, and a knowing expression appeared on her face.

However, now that she understands this, all she feels is trouble.

Now that the Dead Emperor is frozen solid, she has indeed saved herself the trouble of directly exchanging the bounty with that snake man.

The problem lies with this man.

"The Fourth True Ancestor's physical body, the Fourth True Ancestor's true consciousness, it's all very troublesome no matter how you look at it."

First of all, she didn't just walk in.

She did indeed arrive here as a follower of the Dead Emperor, but she did not enter this underground chamber directly.

Instead, they dealt with the Emperor's subordinates who were guarding outside first.

After all, as a righteous demon-hunting official, there's nothing wrong with helping those researchers as long as it doesn't involve his own stance.

That's why she already knew who was in the underground chamber while she was up there.

What exactly is the purpose of this underground chamber, and what is inside it?

However, she didn't take it seriously at first.

After all, no royal family or vampire nobles are worth mentioning under her.

But could someone tell her how the supposedly sealed Fourth Ancestor could be awake?

They really are a bunch of good-for-nothings who are more likely to cause trouble than anything else.

"Although you seem to really want it, I can't give you this dog."

"I'm even planning to find a collar to put on him when I get back."

Makoto Haramura narrowed his eyes, stepped down from the icy throne, and walked to the ice sculpture, reaching out to touch it.

The little girl who suddenly appeared piqued his interest.

If he wasn't mistaken, the way the girl appeared just now was through spatial abilities.

Moreover, his level is quite high, and his strength is definitely much stronger than the idiot he froze for a moment.

At the same time, the little girl seemed somewhat interested in her prey.

"A collar?"

Hearing Haramura Makoto's words, Nanami Nagatsuki's expression indeed became even more serious.

"As I suspected, you are the true consciousness of the Fourth Ancestor, aren't you?"

As one of the few powerful individuals in the world who stands at the top, Nangong Nayue actually knows many secrets that others will never be able to access in their entire lives.

For example, many prototypes of the Fourth Ancestor have already appeared, and those prototypes almost all look very similar.

blonde hair, bright blue eyes, and the appearance of an eleven or twelve-year-old.

Based on this, it can be determined that the body next to that man is probably the twelfth prototype that has not yet been born.

So who is this man?

This is the unverified rumor that Nangong Nayue learned.

According to past records, the Fourth Progenitor was defeated and then his twelve Familiars were placed in twelve containers for preservation.

This is what we now refer to as the physical body.

Rumor has it that the soul of the Fourth Ancestor was not annihilated, but rather sealed within the Twelfth Body, with the Twelfth Body overseeing the soul.

So no matter how you look at it, the man who appeared next to the original body fits the description of the Fourth Progenitor's soul perfectly.

"Yes, that's me."

Makoto Haramura raised his eyebrows and nodded.

"Now I have something to ask you: the location and time of the 'Feast of Flames'?"

(So ​​that's the problem after all!)

Nangong Nayue was not surprised at all.

What is the first thing a vampire should do when it awakens from a long slumber?

Of course, it's about regaining one's own magic and the familiars one has lost.

The Fourth Progenitor before us is also ridiculously strong, but he only has one familiar, missing eleven familiars, and his magical power is not as terrifying as that of a Progenitor.

He desperately wanted to regain his original strength, and there was nothing wrong with that.

If the other candidates for emperor knew this, they would probably be dumbfounded.
