The God Slayer In The Anime World

It must have been this black-haired elder brother who stopped the pickpocket, so young Akatsuki Kojou nodded seriously.

"Thank you, big brother."

The little girl Nagisa also reacted, bowing energetically to express her gratitude.

"Hmm, little ones like you are easy targets for them, so you must pay attention to your safety and not go to deserted places lightly, understand?"

Kaido touched Nagisa's small head and warned with a smile.

"Hehe, I understand."

Young Nagisa narrowed her eyes, then looked at Natsuki Minamiya next to Kaido.

"Big brother, is she your sister? She's so cute, she looks like a doll."

Natsuki Minamiya, who was mistaken for his younger sister, immediately looked displeased. She looked at Nagisa with a slightly majestic expression and pulled out a folding fan to tap her head: "Don't treat me like a child your age. I'm already twenty-two this year."

"Huh? No... no way?"

Nagisa's playful expression froze.

On the other hand, seeing that his sister still wanted to ask questions, Akatsuki Kojou quickly pulled Nagisa behind him and said apologetically, "Sorry, my sister usually talks too much, like an old witch."

"Kojou, I heard that!"

Nagisa puffed out her cute cheeks.

"If there's nothing else, we should go too. The person coming to pick you up should arrive soon."

"Mhm, goodbye, big brother."

"Goodbye, big brother, big sister."

After the two siblings said their last goodbyes, they pushed through the crowd and fled before things got more troublesome.

Just as Kaido said, the person designated by their father to pick them up had been waiting for a long time.

"What a lively pair of siblings! From now on, they should live in peace as ordinary people."

Since he thought of the Sleeping Beauty, Akatsuki Kojou would no longer be able to become the Fourth True Ancestor in the future, as he did in the original story.

However, Nagisa does have some cultivation value. Having inherited her family's abilities, she is also a Miko with exceptional mediumistic abilities.

"It's almost time, let's go too."

Seeing the Akatsuki siblings and a blonde Caucasian woman leave in a car, Kaido put away his camera. The curious onlookers had already been dispersed by suggestive magic, allowing them to leave smoothly.

Republic of Malta, Gozzo Island.

As a famous tourist destination, the beautiful scenery formed by grey cliffs and the blue ocean makes many tourists stay.

Besides its famous landscapes, Gozzo Island is also known as the "Island of Ruins."

Throughout the entire not-very-large island, numerous ancient tombs are preserved.

Most of these tombs were abandoned due to a famous historical event.

Before the Sanctuary Treaty was concluded, the two vampiric empires, the "War King's Domain" and the "Dynasty of Extinction," frequently clashed at their borders, and Gozzo Island was a strategic buffer zone between the two countries.

To prevent their homeland from becoming scorched earth, the descendants of the Heaven Division, demons, witches, exorcists, and humans living there at the time united and, after paying a great price and suffering heavy casualties, finally repelled the invading Second Progenitor, the Eye of Extinction.

It was for this reason that Gozzo Island became the world's first Demon Zone.

And after decades of peace, Gozzo Island welcomed an existence more terrifying than that of a current True Ancestor.

A military jeep equipped with light armor drove through Victoria City on Gozzo Island.

Akatsuki Kojou and Nagisa were sitting inside the car, looking at the exotic scenery through the window.

In the driver's seat was a woman who claimed to be their father's assistant.

"Miss Liana, that bracelet on your hand...?"

After getting tired of the roadside scenery, Nagisa saw the silver bracelet on the Caucasian woman's left wrist.

"Yes, this is a Demon registration card. I am a vampire from the War King's Domain, an assistant and bodyguard for the archaeological team."

The vampire woman named Liana had short, neatly cut blonde hair, and her dignified appearance was meticulous, without any trace of makeup, giving her the serious demeanor of a scholar.

"Huh? Is she really a demon? It's my first time seeing a live vampire! But this island is a Demon Zone, so it should be normal. Oh, by the way, when did Miss Liana and Yajo meet? Is she really okay with today's strong sun?"

"..."

Before the barrage of questions, Liana's forehead was lightly beaded with sweat, and she didn't know where to begin answering.

Finally, Akatsuki Kojou quickly covered Nagisa's non-stop mouth and said apologetically, "Sorry, my sister has a problem: once she starts talking, she can't stop. She talks too much, please don't mind her."

Although Nagisa was capable in all household matters, at a young age, she already had the habit of an endlessly complaining middle-aged woman.

It was hard to say whether it was a good or bad thing.

"Kojou, I heard that!"

Nagisa pouted unhappily.

"...Your family bond is really strong."

Liana seemed to envy the playful Akatsuki siblings and let out a chuckle.

Her cute smile created a strong contrast with her serious exterior, and even with short hair, she still possessed the tenderness a woman should have.

"By the way, why did Dad ask us to come here? It can't be just for fun, right?" Akatsuki Kojou asked.

"Didn't the doctor tell you?" Liana seemed surprised, looking at the faces of the two children in the rearview mirror.

"Well, it seems you really don't know."

She sighed softly, complained in her heart for a moment, and then began to explain.

"About two kilometers from the Gion Tia Temple, we discovered an underground tomb."

Liana paused slightly and asked, "You should know the term 'Holy Annihilation,' right?"

"I think it's something Dad was researching before," Akatsuki Kojou replied with uncertainty.

"Yes, Holy Annihilation refers to the traces of widespread massacre and destruction of unknown origin left around the world, and it's also a general term for large-scale disasters caused by the Fourth True Ancestor."

"Fourth True Ancestor?"

Akatsuki Kojou's and Nagisa's eyes widened at the mention of this term.

At some point, a legend about the Fourth True Ancestor suddenly began circulating in their school.

An immortal, eternal, and unparalleled vampire, with no blood relatives, who leads twelve familiars, who are incarnations of disaster, who drink fresh blood, kill, and are cold and ruthless.

"That should just be a legend, right?" Akatsuki Kojou said.

"Who knows? But that's the purpose of our research team."

Liana shrugged, and after a moment of silence, she warned, "The road will be a bit bumpy. You'd better not talk, or you'll bite your tongue."

Within minutes, the vehicle left the smooth asphalt and entered a rocky, bumpy terrain, where it began to bounce violently. Nagisa and Akatsuki Kojou paled, clutching their seatbelts tightly, afraid of being thrown out the window.

The journey passed without incident.

The jeep left the wilderness and entered a camp full of tents and makeshift dormitories, surrounded by heavily armed mercenaries and heavy armored vehicles parked not far away.

It was less a camp and more a military fortress.

*Is it really necessary to go to such lengths just to investigate a ruin?*

With such thoughts, the two who got out of the car didn't notice the figure approaching from behind.

"Long time no see, my dear daughter."

Her shoulders were embraced, and then she was lifted by a force.

"Yajo-kun!"

Nagisa turned her head to look at her father, who had remained hidden for so long, revealing a bright smile.

"Hahaha! My daughter is still so adorable!"

A middle-aged man wearing an old fedora hat, a short jacket, and smelling of alcohol and gunpowder, hugged Nagisa tightly and rubbed his bearded face against his daughter's face repeatedly.

"Stop! So many people are watching!"

Nagisa protested, her face flushed.

"Because my daughter is too cute."

The man named Yajo laughed heartily.

Liana watched with satisfaction the cheerful family.

The sky had darkened at some point, as if it were gathering rain.

Soon, a torrential downpour began, washing the land, and the air filled with the scent of earth, as well as a faint foul odor.

Gozzo Island, Victoria City.

Kaido slowly drove the car he had bought through the city streets.

Before, others had always been the drivers, but when it was his turn, he experienced a different feeling of relaxation.

"Is what you said earlier on the plane true?"

The black-haired loli sitting in the passenger seat asked with a frown.

"Is the Twelfth Night Blaze really sleeping in the ruins of Gozzo Island?"

"Would I gain anything by lying to you? Besides, if the Twelfth Host is on Gozzo Island, then the Death Emperor Brother's goal should be very clear, right?"

Kaido said indifferently.

His Godslayer's magical perception reacted the moment he stepped onto Gozzo Island.

The most powerful Godslayer weapon created by the Heaven Division and the three True Ancestors: the Fourth True Ancestor.

It was sleeping in the underground ruins of this island.

"If it's really as you say, then this matter involves more than just the remnants of the Black Death Emperor Faction."

Natsuki Minamiya frowned delicately. Few people knew the strength of the Fourth True Ancestor, but as a national anti-demon officer, she knew that its existence was not a legend, but a fact.

"Currently, the beastman forces of the Black Death Emperor Faction are weak, and their main army has been almost completely annihilated by the vampiric troops of the War King's Domain. It's unlikely that the remaining remnants will reach a significant level."

At that moment, Natsuki Minamiya finally understood what was going on with the beastman remnants in Rome.

Those guys were a complete decoy to attract her; the Death Emperor Brother's true goal was to revive the Fourth True Ancestor.

As long as they could grasp the power of the strongest True Ancestor, then whether they faced the War King's Domain or the Dynasty of Extinction, those extremist beastmen would have the power to contend with them!

Thinking this, Natsuki Minamiya couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Relax, aren't we heading there right now?"

Kaido said with a relaxed smile.

With that, Natsuki Minamiya had no choice but to suppress her irritable mood, praying that the beastmen would not succeed.

"Human souls groan in pain, a truly inferior method."

Athena's calm voice came from his mind.

As the goddess of death and the underworld in the Mediterranean, she could clearly feel a dense aura of death swirling in the air over the distant wilderness.

"Get out of the car; the road ahead is impassable."

With a rumble, the sports car, bought only a few tens of minutes ago and still without a license plate, broke down in the wilderness.
