Three Vampires walked in, each carrying a large cloth bag.
The contents of the large bags were still squirming, emitting bursts of unsettling low howls.
At a signal from Lest Karr Karr's eyes, the three Vampires kept their distance from each other, opened the bags one by one, and threw them on the ground. These bags contained the monster's head, torso, and limbs respectively.
Luke had question marks over his head—how much hatred was there to actually dismember someone! However, he didn't ask much, his eyes only showing a hint of curiosity.
As soon as these organs touched the ground, they began crawling toward the head. Although their speed wasn't fast, they moved with a kind of eerie persistence.
Lest Karr Karr stepped on the monster's head and began to explain, "This is that monster, or rather, this is a very strange demon."
One could actually tell that this so-called monster was female before its transformation, as evidenced by the torso.
At this moment, the monster's head let out an angry low growl, its voice carrying a trace of pain and struggle.
Rig looked at the monster with great interest, a flicker of excitement in his eyes.
"Not only has she lost her memories, but has she even lost her sanity? A demon with a physical body... that truly is an amazing discovery."
Luke was somewhat confused after hearing Rig's words and quietly asked Krul, "Isn't a demon with a physical body just what happens when a Vampire's body remains after death? Why does Rig look so surprised?"
It wasn't surprising that Luke was confused; usually, Vampires were destroyed by cursed gear, leaving no body behind. Furthermore, back then, Kyle had been killed by Ferid and turned into a demon with a physical body.
Krul gave Luke a strange look, not expecting him to be ignorant of such a thing.
"If a Vampire loses their heart for a long time, they will turn into a demon. Simultaneously, the cells that had stopped growing will age rapidly, becoming so old they cannot move within a few hours, while their consciousness turns into a demon."
Luke suddenly understood and looked at the monster again. However, the more he looked at it, the more familiar it seemed, as if he had seen it somewhere... Lest Karr Karr briefly explained the battle between himself, Guren, and this monster in Shibuya, emphasizing how the monster could rapidly recover from injuries and increase its strength after eating Vampires, while glossing over the embarrassment he and Guren had faced.
However, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Guren spoke up to supplement: "This monster is quite strong; I almost became her food. Even Lord Lest Karr Karr was swatted into a wall by that monster!"
Lest Karr Karr glared fiercely at Guren, inwardly cursing him for being talkative, but Guren returned a simple smile as if nothing had happened.
Rig and Urd didn't care how miserable the battle between the two had been; they were only concerned about the fact that this monster ate Vampires.
"Ah! Isn't this Guren?!"
Luke's sudden shout interrupted everyone's thoughts, and they all looked toward him.
"You know her?"
Rig asked.
Luke nodded and said quite naturally.
"Yeah, this person is one of Ferid's subordinates. She seemed to disappear before the Great Battle of Shibuya started. I didn't expect her to end up like this."
Krul also remembered the Vampire named Guren. Comparing the monster before her with the Guren in her memory, she nodded and said, "It is indeed her."
The others also tried to recall. Ferid... was the Seventh Progenitor who had been reported for rebellion during the battle in Shibuya.
Rig commanded Lest Karr Karr, "Release your foot."
Lest Karr Karr did as told. Despite being a demon, there were no demon markings on Guren's face; only Demonic Aura constantly wafted from her pitch-black eye sockets.
Guren continued to roar, seemingly wanting to devour all the Progenitors present.
The Progenitors present all quietly watched as Guren's various body parts moved toward her head.
Her torso and limbs finally reconnected. Without even taking time to adjust, she immediately opened her bloody maw and lunged at the nearest person, Urd.
No one present panicked.
Urd simply raised his hand and delivered a slap, sending Guren flying toward Guren.
Guren looked somewhat excited. He threw a right punch, piercing straight through Guren. However, Guren ignored the pain entirely, opening her mouth to bite Guren's neck. Guren pressed the four fingers of his left hand together and with a wave of his hand, Guren's head flew off again, leaving her body.
With a smile still on his face, Guren pulled his hand out of Guren's body.
"What a lunatic!"
The others remained silent. They couldn't exactly say that he was actually the crazier one, could they?
Guren still didn't die despite having her head removed again; her body was still trying to find the head.
Luke began to suspect he was in a zombie movie; Guren's appearance was too terrifying!
Rig's interest was now fully piqued, and he began to use spells on Guren in front of everyone.
As a spell landed, Guren, who had just picked up her head, immediately fell to the ground and began to struggle, showing that she was enduring intense pain! demon markings suddenly began to appear on her face, but soon, although Guren was still struggling, the markings that had just appeared vanished again.
Seeing this result, Rig stopped the spell and laughed.
"Just as I thought, there is something inside Guren's body preventing her from further Demon Transformation, keeping her somewhere between a Vampire and a demon."
"I'll take her away to study her. Her situation is very special and might provide some insights. Luke, remember to bring Yu back soon. Even if we have enough time, we shouldn't waste it."
Rig looked at Luke, his tone carrying a hint of being beyond dispute.
Luke nodded, indicating he understood.
The Progenitors then dispersed. What happened to this monster had nothing to do with them; they only wanted to finish this series of events soon and escape the curse of immortality.
Chains extended from Rig's hands, binding Guren. He dragged her toward the temporary base of the Hyakuya Sect. Only among his subordinates were there top-tier researchers of both Vampires and humans.
Rig actually felt a bit of pity for the researchers who had been purged in Shibuya. The researchers of the Hiiragi Family were also quite capable; if they had their help, their research progress would have accelerated significantly.
Fortunately, he now had Guren and Hiiragi Shinya as experimental subjects. These two should be enough for him to study for a long time. Since Yuichiro hadn't arrived yet and the Ritual Formula hadn't been obtained, Rig could only study Guren's situation first.
Rig was very curious about how she could digest Vampires so quickly to increase her strength during battle. The first step upon returning to the lab would be to cut Guren open!
On the other side, not long after Luke left the meeting room, a Vampire came looking for him.
"Lord Luke, Lord René and Lord Lacus have returned injured. Their injuries are very severe."
Luke frowned. For a Vampire, being injured wasn't usually a big deal, but to use the term 'very severe'... Luke immediately followed the Vampire away.
Krul, meanwhile, walked toward her own palace and had someone call for some Upper-ranking Vampires. She had a mission now, and there were things her subordinate Vampires needed to prepare.
Urd and Lest Karr Karr were much the same, needing to instruct their subordinates to handle certain matters.
