Under the watchful eyes of Carmilla Queen, Yubelluna, and the other girls, Tenraku ascended into the air. The entire royal city unfolded before his eyes. After sensing the surroundings, Tenraku activated the power of “Longinus: Fog of Extinction – Dimension Lost.”
A massive fog emanated from Tenraku, and under his control, it ascended into the air, merging seamlessly with the existing thick fog barrier that shrouded the royal city. Vampires, being creatures of the night who despised sunlight, had a barrier of dense fog covering their territory.
This not only protected them from sunlight but also effectively concealed their presence, preventing many hostile forces from discovering the Vampire’s lair.
However, Tenraku considered this fog barrier to be somewhat inadequate. If discovered by enemies, it wouldn’t provide substantial defense. Thus, he employed the ability of “Fog of Extinction – Dimension Lost” to envelop the entire Vampire territory and transfer it into another dimension.
In doing so, not only would it be challenging for anyone to discover them in the future, but even if they did, infiltrating this hidden realm would be nearly impossible. As one of the legendary “Longinus,” the potency of “Fog of Extinction – Dimension Lost” was beyond question.
Returning to the ground, Tenraku’s complexion appeared slightly pale.
“Tenraku-sama,” The considerate Yubelluna quickly supported him.
Having shared the ability of “Fog of Extinction – Dimension Lost,” Yubelluna was well aware of the colossal amount of Spirit Power her master had expended.
“Don’t worry; I’m fine,” Tenraku assured her. He then conjured a seal and handed it to Carmilla Queen.
“Your Majesty, I have transferred your Vampire territory into another dimension. This seal is the key to opening the barrier. Please keep it safe.”
“Red Dragon Emperor, thank you for everything you’ve done for us Vampires,” Carmilla Queen said with a smile, accepting the seal.
The other Vampires also expressed profound gratitude towards Tenraku.
With the Tepes faction already defeated and their territory damaged by the previous Evil Dragon attacks, if they were discovered or invaded by enemies from the Church or other factions at this critical time, the entire Vampire race might face an unprecedented disaster.
Now, with their entire territory hidden in another dimension, such concerns were alleviated.
Smiling gently, Tenraku didn’t bother explaining anything as he had invested substantial effort to transfer the entire Vampire territory, making them his exclusive property.
But there was another reason behind this effort— to completely domesticate this race here. From now on, these Vampires wouldn’t easily leave this place. The only way for them to exit would be to obtain the permission of their Queen. However, Carmilla Queen wouldn’t let them leave without a significant reason.
Never!
They would live and multiply here for generations to come. Many young Vampires might not even be aware of the outside world. It was a complete isolation and closure. Carmilla Queen intended to mold this place into an absolute God Nation, devoted to her master.
“Akasha-Dono,” Lamyahilde’s voice accompanied Elmenhilde, her daughter, as they approached.
Having been given to Tenraku by Carmilla Queen, Elmenhilde had prepared her belongings and was ready to leave with Tenraku and his group.
“Elmen, from now on, you will serve and follow the Red Dragon Emperor. Never disobey any of his commands,” Carmilla Queen sternly instructed, knowing that her master took a particular interest in Elmen and wished to personally train her.
“Yes, Your Majesty,” Elmen replied respectfully.
Sighing inwardly, Elmenhilde respectfully bowed to Carmilla Queen, her own Okaa-Sama, and the other elders. She then approached Tenraku.
“M-Master.”
According to the Queen’s orders, she was now the Red Dragon Emperor’s possession, and he was the master who could command everything about her. Although it felt extremely unfamiliar, Elmenhilde mustered the courage to address him with a hint of embarrassment.
“No need to call me master. Just like Yubelluna and the others, you can call me Lord Tenraku. From now on, I’ll just call you Elmen,” Tenraku said, gently brushing the girl’s forehead.
“Um, Lord Tenraku.”
Breathing a sigh of relief, Elmenhilde’s face blossomed with a smile. Though she still felt somewhat lost, perhaps following this man before her was indeed a good choice.
“Queen, then we’ll take our leave.”
“We Vampires welcome your visit anytime, Red Dragon Emperor.”
“Oh, I’ll definitely come again.”
…
In a serene, verdant forest, an overgrown grave stood alone— the final resting place of Kiba Yuuto, also known as Isaiah, from the original series. Many years ago, Tenraku found Isaiah, who had escaped from the Church, at this location, but he was already beyond help due to a fatal poison.
In Isaiah’s last moments, Tenraku exchanged his Sacred Gear, the “Demonic Sword Creation – Sword Birth,” for vengeance against those who had harmed him and his companions. After his death, Tenraku buried him here.
Shortly thereafter, Tenraku, Gasper, and Yubelluna’s group rescued Tosca from the Church, and Tosca came here to pay respects to Isaiah. Not only did he erect a tombstone for him, but he also engraved the names of other comrades on it.
Simultaneously, Tenraku, Gasper, Yubelluna, and the other girls stood silently to the side while Tosca carefully cleared away weeds around the grave. He then placed offerings and, with hands pressed together, knelt down to mourn the unfortunate friends and comrades.
Waiting patiently, no one disturbed Tosca until he finished the mourning ritual after a considerable amount of time.
“Lord Tenraku…” With reddened eyes, tears rolled down the girl’s cheeks.
“Though it’s heartbreaking, these are your important bonds and memories. Live happily and strive forward, Tosca, along with the memories of your companions.” Tenraku spoke while wiping away the tears from the girl’s cheeks.
“Lord Tenraku, wū wū wū…”
Hugging Tenraku, the girl’s sobs echoed through the forest…
