"I-I, I've finally returned!"
At the station in Hokkaido, Seraphim walked out of the station with tears streaming down her face.
She hadn't had a good time in Japan these past two days; it could even be said that she had a very bad time!
She discovered that her money was unusable in human society! Human society now uses a type of currency that looks very similar to the money she possesses, but is different.
She was almost arrested for using counterfeit money when buying a train ticket. If it weren't for the beautiful girl with orange hair who helped her buy a ticket, she really wouldn't have been able to return!
Thinking about this, Seraphim couldn't help but shed tears. As a vampiric ninja, Seraphim's ability to endure hardship was unquestionable; even not eating for a day or two wouldn't affect her much. The reason she was crying was because she was moved by the girl named Tachibana Marika.
After all, she and Tachibana Marika were strangers, yet the other party was willing to help her buy a ticket and even gave her some money for food. There are truly more good people in the world!
Wiping away her tears, Seraphim took a deep breath. Now she had to return to the village as soon as possible to inform the commander about the changes in the outside world.
Thinking about it, Seraphim's figure flickered. After stopping a taxi by the roadside, she headed toward the coastal area of Hokkaido. There was no other way; the village of the vampiric ninja was located in a very remote coastal forest in Hokkaido. If she went on foot, it would take several hours.
However, not long after Seraphim left, Yu's figure, riding the Wind, passed through the sky high above.
Soon, relying on his perception, Yu descended to the coast where the Moon God Envoy had been earlier.
"It should be somewhere nearby."
Yu murmured, his perception spreading in all directions, and soon he found the village of the vampiric ninja.
Looking at the dense jungle, Yu simply used the Wind to uproot the bushes blocking his path and threw them into the sea behind him.
Soon, a long, straight, unobstructed path appeared in front of Yu.
At the end of the path, a large mountain could be seen, and at its foot, the outline of a village could be faintly seen.
"It's not far, but why haven't those two idiots brought the sinner's stone nail after all this time?"
After seeing the village, Yu frowned slightly. He could sense that there were no strong individuals in the village, nor were there any barriers or anything similar nearby that could restrict the Moon God Envoys. So why hadn't those two idiots brought the divine artifact back to him?
Could it be that those two idiots fell in love and ran away together, holding hands, on strike?
That's impossible. First, it's questionable whether the Moon God Envoys even have a gender, and even if they do, the two of them wouldn't betray him.
Thinking about it, Yu flashed into the jungle, but the moment the young man stepped inside, the surrounding environment began to change, suddenly turning from a forest into a boundless ocean.
Seeing this, Yu raised an eyebrow. Was this an illusion? Or ninjutsu?
Vampiric ninjas, although the emphasis is on "vampire," vampirism only gives the vampiric ninja clan strong recovery abilities and immortality. Their main methods of attack still rely on various ninjutsu techniques and ultimate moves.
For example, Seraphim, whom he had seen earlier, specialized in attacking with leaves transformed into weapons, and her combat skill was [Swallow Slash], characterized by lightning-fast speed. Of course, that speed was not particularly great in Yu's eyes, not even in the eyes of the Moon God Envoys.
But that was also because Yu and the Moon God Envoys far surpassed Seraphim in terms of strength and combat experience. If Seraphim's strength were improved... she might not necessarily lose to Yu and the Moon God Envoys.
It can only be said that weapons are always a weakness. Even if Seraphim can turn leaves into weapons, she might not be able to leave even a one-centimeter-deep cut on the body of a Moon God Envoy.
Returning to the topic, he was currently facing an illusion set up by the vampiric ninjas. This ability was quite common; beings like Nurarihyon among yokai and Western vampires all had similar abilities.
However, this thing was completely useless against him.
Yu thought to himself, controlling his cursed energy to vibrate outward, instantly shattering the illusion, and the young man's surroundings returned to their original state.
"Pfft!!"
The moment the illusion was shattered, Yu heard the sound of someone spitting blood, and then saw a figure flying backward.
Ignoring the figure that was sent flying, Yu's gaze fell on the two Moon God Envoys not far away.
"It seems that the Moon God Envoys have no immunity to these kinds of illusions and the like."
Seeing that the Moon God Envoys were bound by this level of illusion, Yu covered his forehead.
Earlier, when they were collecting the mark of the lucky snake, those two Moon God Envoys had also been caught off guard and controlled. He had to find a way to solve this problem.
Thinking about it, Yu walked over and kicked each of them to wake them up.
The two Moon God Envoys, awakened by Yu's kick, immediately stood up from the ground and swung their fists toward the person who attacked them. But when they saw Yu standing in front of them, their fists abruptly changed direction and struck each other in the face.
Looking at these two idiots, Yu didn't even have the desire to say anything.
"You two go with me. Later tonight you can return on your own."
After Yu finished speaking, he used the storm wind to lift the two Moon God Envoys and threw them behind him. After clearing the path, Yu finally saw the figure he had sent flying.
"Unknown guy, will he die from that one hit?"
Lying on the ground was a thin old man. The old man's beard was already covered in blood, and his aura was weak, clearly showing that he was severely injured.
"Warning! Enemy attack! Did you injure the elder?!"
At that moment, a gentle shout sounded not far away. Yu looked in the direction of the sound and saw a black-haired girl standing on a large tree branch nearby.
The girl wore a black cloak and a white shirt, with a mini skirt, thigh-high stockings, and long boots on her lower body. Her figure was no worse than Seraphim's, but her style of dress was much better than Seraphim's, although her expression carried a trace of arrogance and coldness.
"Saraswati, perhaps?"
Seeing the girl, Yu recognized her identity.
Saraswati, the commander of the conservative faction within the vampiric ninja clan, Seraphim's direct superior. Her ability was control of water, or more precisely, turning water into weapons.
Looking at the old man lying on the ground, Saraswati, although pretending to be angry, was secretly overjoyed.
That old man was a high-ranking member of the reformist faction, which was hostile toward their conservative faction. He had always suppressed the actions of the conservative faction in various ways. The key point was that she could not act against that old man within the clan. Now that someone suddenly appeared and severely injured him, Saraswati couldn't be happier.
Moreover, the old man only appeared severely injured, not to the point of death. Besides, as a vampiric ninja, Saraswati knew how strong the recovery ability of vampiric ninjas was, right? He would recover in a short time after drinking some blood.
But what about this young man who severely injured the old man with one strike? How to deal with him?
Perhaps... threaten him to leave? Thinking about it, Saraswati glanced at the path leading directly to the vampiric ninja village and dismissed the idea.
It seemed that the old man had provoked that young man. If it came to that, she would hand that damned old man over to the young man to deal with. Anyway, he was a stubborn old reformist. It would be best if the reformist faction also apologized to the young man. In that way, the reformist faction would definitely lose support!
In that way, she wouldn't need to revive the leader to take his position!
Thinking like this, Saraswati couldn't help but develop a smile. Just then, a ghostly voice sounded behind the girl:
"You look very happy."
"Eh?! What?!"
Hearing the voice, Saraswati's body trembled, and she abruptly turned her head to see Yu's handsome face.
Seeing this, Saraswati was obviously shocked. She hadn't noticed Yu's appearance behind her at all. If Yu hadn't spoken, she wouldn't have sensed him!
Without hesitation, Saraswati's figure flickered, wanting to leave, but no matter how hard she pushed with her legs, her body did not move even a centimeter.
Looking down, Saraswati realized that her body had turned into salt stone at some point.
Suddenly, she exerted force with her legs, trying to break the salt stone, but without thinking she knew it was impossible.
"Don't try to run. If you manage to break it, I'll have those two idiots wash your hair."
Seeing that Saraswati was still trying to struggle, Yu finished speaking and kicked Saraswati, directly knocking her off the tree.
With her lower body restrained, Saraswati gritted her teeth and relied on her hands, rolling several times on the ground before stopping.
Before Saraswati had time to catch her breath, Yu stepped on her, his purple eyes flashing with a cold light, and asked:
"Do you have a stone nail made of diamond?"
"Hmph!"
Faced with Yu's question, Saraswati snorted, her gaze fixed on him, while a strange blush appeared on her cheeks.
Pervert!
After saying that, Yu kicked Saraswati aside, but did not kill her.
"Take that half-dead guy and come with me."
Yu ordered the two Moon God Envoys. After saying that, he removed Saraswati's salt stone transformation, used the Wind to lift her, and flew toward the vampiric ninja village.
"Hey! What do you want to do?! Our vampiric ninja clan has never offended you, right?!"
Seeing that Yu was taking her toward the village, Saraswati's expression changed.
She quickly went through all the enemies that the vampiric ninja clan had offended over the past hundred years, and after confirming that Yu was not among them, she asked the question.
"I already said, I'm looking for a stone nail made of diamond. That nail is in your village."
Yu glanced at Saraswati, speaking indifferently. He paused, then added:
"Black panties are good. Remember to wear lace ones next time."
Hearing this, Saraswati's face turned red, and she immediately reached down to pull her short skirt.
Looking at Yu again, Saraswati didn't know what to say for a moment.
This guy was so strong; she had no chance to resist anything he wanted to do to her.
But the other party did not show such intentions, which meant that this guy was really here to find that diamond nail.
But, she had lived in the vampiric ninja village for nearly a hundred years and had never heard of any diamond nail!
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration appeared in Saraswati's mind, as if she remembered something, and she quickly spoke to the young man:
"Wait! I-I know where the thing you're looking for is!"
