A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 44 The Madman's Revelry, The Patriarch Disappears
Under Miyamoto Toru's arrangement, a few lunatics from the Oni Clan happily drove towards the Nightclub.

For the corrupted hybrids, brutal killing is their daily source of pleasure, especially killing their own kind, which makes them feel like they're in heaven.

Miyamoto Toru didn't even mention that it was the king's order; he only said that he was to attack the main clan. The madmen rushed to gather a whole carload of people and set off immediately.

They showed no regard for the fact that the Nightclub was located on the streets of Tokyo, and completely disregarded the fact that there were pedestrians strolling around in broad daylight.

Upon seeing the Nightclub with its doors wide open, a madman couldn't even wait for the car to come to a complete stop. He slung an RPG-7 over one shoulder and leaned out of the car window.

With a loud "roar," it aimed at the club and pulled the trigger. The rocket, trailing a long trail of gray-black smoke, headed straight for the store!

So unexpectedly, the mixed-race people from the Snake Clan who moved in were completely unprepared, and the rockets exploded violently after they flew in.

The deafening explosions mixed with flames, and the intense heat and fear began to scatter every pedestrian.

"what!"

"Run!"

The lunatics didn't care about the people at all. They grabbed all sorts of guns, jumped out of the car, and charged toward the Nightclub.

Even the drivers of the ghost cars, who didn't want to stop and come to a complete stop, kicked open the car doors and rushed forward without even removing the keys.

The members of the Snake Clan who remained at the Nightclub were caught off guard. Fortunately, in order to conceal their identities, they did not gather in the disco on the first floor, but were distributed on various floors.

By the time they realized that the Demons were attacking, the Demons' madmen had already rushed in and started firing indiscriminately.

In the chaos, the members of the Snake Clan could only hold their ground in the stairwell and launch a counterattack, while simultaneously reporting the situation and requesting reinforcements.

Upon receiving the communication, the Sheqi Hachike's liaison officer continued to report while simultaneously calling the Executive Bureau, instructing them to provide support at Nightfall.

Thus, Tachibana Masamune and Genji Waki ​​received the news at roughly the same time.

On the surface, Tachibana Masamune remained unmoved, but in reality, he was impressed by Minamoto no Chizuru's efficiency; the task he had been given just a few hours earlier was already underway.

It is indeed a useful tool, but it makes a lot of noise. Genji still needs to be polished for a while.

Genjiro was different. When he learned that the Oni Clan dared to attack openly, he was almost furious!

Genjiro knew very well that he was the young master of the Snake-Headed Eight Families and would inevitably control the Japanese underworld in the future. It was hard to say that he was a good person.

But Genjiro always maintained his bottom line, wanting to protect this land and its people; he also wanted to be a partner of justice.

Therefore, even when facing his own younger brother, Genjiro, his only relative with whom he depended on each other, Genjiro would harden his heart and bury his brother with his own hands when he discovered that Genjiro had a tendency to fall into depravity and become a demon.

When Genjiro heard that the madmen of the Oni Clan were openly using RPG rockets in the street, disregarding the people around them, one can imagine the rage he felt.

"Crow, Yaksha!" Genji picked up two swords and, with two retainers, headed towards the elevator, preparing to go straight down to the parking lot and head to the Nightclub.

If it were Genjiro, whose Word of Power was sealed, he would never have acted so recklessly.

However, they later discovered that the sealed words could be used again after 24 hours.

The Snake Clan has yet to fully understand how the technique of sealing away incantations works, and what its underlying principles are.

Since it's not a permanent ban on the power of words, that's good news.

There's no time for the Snake Clan to slowly figure things out; dealing with the Demon Clan is the priority.

On the Genji Heavy Industries floor where Genji was located, there was an elevator exclusively for the top three families, which only they could use. Just as the crow was about to press the go button, the doors of the elevator next to it slowly opened, and a guard named Sakurai Takashi ran out with an anxious expression.

Upon seeing Genjiro, it was as if he had seen a savior: "Young Master, Head of the Uesugi Clan, Master of the Uesugi Clan..."

Genji couldn't hold back any longer and turned his head at lightning speed. Before he could even look over, his eyes had already turned into golden pupils. He grabbed Sakurai Takashi's arm and roared, "Eri?"

"What happened to Erii?! Tell me!"

The Snake-Headed Eight Families are divided into the Upper Three Families and the Lower Five Families. Tachibana Masamune, Minamoto no Chisei, and Uesugi Erii are naturally the heads of the Upper Three Families.

Currently, the Snake Clan has two members with royal blood, namely Minamoto no Chisei and Uesugi Erii.

The higher-ups of the Snake Clan all knew that Uesugi Erii's bloodline was far purer than Genjiro's. In fact, because of her superior bloodline, she could speak in dragon script, which could lead to the death of others.

Compared to a royal-level goalkeeper like Origin Chisei, Uesugi Erii is more like an emperor among hybrids.

It was regarded by the Snake Clan as their trump card, as the ultimate weapon capable of slaying gods.

But Genjiro didn't think so. He only thought of Uesugi Erii as a stupid little sister who had been locked in the research lab since childhood and knew nothing.

How could an older brother not care when he heard that his younger sister was in trouble?
Sakurai Takashi seemed to be intimidated by Genjiro's golden eyes, and his reaction was much slower, muttering to himself and unable to speak.

Even Yasha could feel the violent aura slowly emanating from Genjiro, and hurriedly woke up Sakurai Takashi: "Baka! What's wrong with the Uesugi family head?! Do you want to go down to Tokyo Bay to feed the fish?!"

Sakurai Takashi finally came to his senses, his tone flustered and uneasy: "I, young master... the head of the Uesugi family is missing, gone missing."

"Phew..." Genji's golden eyes went out, and he felt a little relieved.

This isn't the first time Uesugi Erii has 'run away from home,' but this girl, who has been isolated from the world since childhood, is afraid to step into that colorful and unknown world.

Each time, I would just sneak out of Genji Heavy Industries. The farthest I ever went was the first intersection to the left after leaving the building, where I would just stand there dumbfounded, too afraid to go any further.

When Uesugi Erii first ran away, the entire building was in chaos, and countless people from top to bottom were held accountable.

The AI ​​Kaguya-hime of the Snake Clan even put aside all research-related calculations and prioritized using all computing power to search for Uesugi Erii.

As it turned out, they found Erii Uesugi right at their doorstep, a false alarm.

Since then, according to statistics, Erii Uesugi has run away from home seven times, each time stopping nearby, and this time will likely be no exception.

Have you looked at the intersection?

"I...I went there." Sakurai Takashi felt even more guilty and didn't dare to look Genji in the eye again: "I...I didn't find it."

"!" The golden eyes that had been extinguished burst into flames again, and naked killing intent emanated from his body. Sakurai Takashi felt as if an invisible blade was pressed against his throat.

For a fleeting moment, Genji felt an impulse to behead Sakurai Takashi, Erii's guardian, with a single blow.

Fortunately, Genji held back. Rationally speaking, he shouldn't blame Sakurai Takashi. Given Uesugi Erii's identity and power, she was beyond Sakurai Takashi's control.

But people are emotional and cannot be completely rational. Even though Genji knew he shouldn't be, he would still take his anger out on Sakurai Takashi.

After all, Genjiro currently faces the most difficult choice: to protect the people and fight against the mad demons, or to find his missing sister?
What should he choose?
