“Let’s go, let’s go together.”
Wang Xiaoming stood up from his seat and walked out the door with a smile.
“Anyway, we don’t have anything to do right now, so let’s take you along for a trip, how about it?”
“Okay, okay!”
With Wang Xiaoming personally leading the way, that would naturally be the best thing. After all, she had just arrived in this city and was truly unfamiliar with the place. If a local person could lead the way, that would be ideal.
This time, she would completely resolve Luo Ya!
655. Kicking Down the Door
The Tohno family, as one of the four great families of demon hunters—no, that's not right, now one of the three great families of demon hunters—the Tohno family could be considered a large family locally, maintaining stable connections with both the local authorities and other magicians and demon-hunting forces.
Their powerful network of relationships and demon-hunting abilities allowed the Tohno family to survive in this city generation after generation, becoming a secretive yet wealthy family.
For example, the huge villa with a courtyard in front of Wang Xiaoming right now was a symbol of the Tohno family's strength.
This courtyard was even larger than Wang Xiaoming's Hestia Familia residence in the Danmachi world. Hestia's residence was at most a building with a relatively small courtyard, where the family could gather for meals. However, everyone usually ate in the hall, and the courtyard behind was mostly used for drying clothes.
But this villa, good heavens, it even had a garden and a gazebo in the back, as well as a large lawn and woods.
Wang Xiaoming could also make the Hestia Familia look like this, but there was no need. There were too few Familia members; it wasn’t necessary to make it like this, and it would attract too much attention. Although the Hestia Familia was already quite large, there was no need to do things that weren’t necessary.
“Is this the place?”
Arcueid looked at the villa gate in front of her and asked Wang Xiaoming.
“Yes, this is it, the Tohno family’s residence.”
“Okay! I’m going in!”
Arcueid directly raised her leg and kicked the iron gate, kicking it open in one go.
Compared to the happy girl who had been chatting and laughing with Wang Xiaoming just now, Arcueid instantly transformed into a reckless brute.
The iron gate was kicked out and flew horizontally across the entire garden, smashing into the front door of the villa, then splitting in two and falling to either side.
This huge commotion immediately caused the people inside the villa to rush out.
The door was opened, and three people came out of the villa.
“What happened?”
The first to rush out was Tohno Shiki, whom Wang Xiaoming had met yesterday. He was wearing a school uniform and carrying a schoolbag in his hand, clearly preparing to go to school as a high school student.
Behind him were two red-haired girls wearing Japanese maid outfits, looking exactly alike. They were the Tohno family's twin maids, Kohaku and Hisui.
“Shiki-sama, please be careful, it might be a villain.”
After the two maids came out, they immediately held their brooms in front of Tohno Shiki, pointing them at Arcueid, who was still walking into the courtyard.
“Hey, hey, hey, don't say that, I'm not a villain.”
Arcueid waved her hand with a smile.
“The way you look, it doesn’t seem like what you say.”
Kohaku, as the older sister, stepped forward and spoke to Arcueid.
“Speak, who exactly are you, daring to intrude on the Tohno family.”
As a maid of the Tohno family, she had to state her position for the Tohno family.
“Well, I'm just a passing vampire, may I ask if you have someone here named Tohno SHIKI?”
Arcueid had no awareness of her own intrusion, and even took the initiative to inquire about Tohno SHIKI’s whereabouts.
“Who are you looking for?”
“Tohno SHIKI, where is he? Can you let him come out to see me?”
Kohaku looked at Arcueid in surprise. She didn't expect that someone would know about Tohno SHIKI.
Tohno SHIKI had been locked up at home by the Tohno family since he was a child, because the inhuman blood in his body was troublesome and often caused reversal impulses, so he was basically imprisoned. Later, he even wanted to kill Akiba because of the reversal impulse, so he was even more strictly confined.
Only the Tohno family knew about Tohno SHIKI, especially Kohaku, because Kohaku had been used by the Tohno family to be abused in order to resist the reversal impulse.
The twin sisters Kohaku and Hisui were adopted by the Tohno family, and the reason for the adoption was because their family needed these sisters to suppress the reversal impulse in their bodies.
Kohaku was the most miserable. In order to protect her sister Hisui, she alone was responsible for bearing the Tohno family's reversal impulse, sparing her sister Hisui from harm.
“Tohno SHIKI?”
Tohno Shiki looked at Arcueid in confusion. His memory had been sealed, and he didn't understand what these people were saying. He only knew that he was living a good life, so how could a vampire and a monster suddenly jump out? Do such things exist in this world?
Akiba also rushed over from behind at this time. She had heard the commotion at the door early on, but she was farther away and came over more slowly.
When she arrived at the gate and saw that the iron gate of her courtyard was lying outside like a dismembered corpse, she was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Arcueid at the door.
“Who are you?”
“She’s a vampire.”
“Vampire? A demon?”
In a broad sense, vampires are a type of demon, of course, excluding True Ancestors, especially a princess of True Ancestors like Arcueid, who is clearly different from demons.
But Arcueid didn't explain her True Ancestor identity, or rather, even if she did, it would be useless, because the person she was looking for was Tohno SHIKI, even if he was a madman who would kill his own relatives when he reversed, he was still Akiba’s brother.
“A mere demon, daring to come to the Tohno family!”
Although the Tohno family didn't have much activity now, and didn't have any demon-hunting requests, Akiba had already inherited the position of family head and become the Tohno family's new demon hunter. If a demon came to her door, she had to show it.
“It seems you can’t wait to be exorcised.”
Akiba directly walked to the front, directly blocking in front of everyone in the Tohno family.
“Wait, Akiba, what exactly is going on? What vampire and demon?”
Tohno Shiki's memory was sealed, and he didn't understand what these people were saying at all. He only knew that he was living a good life, so how could a vampire and a monster suddenly jump out? Are there such things in this world?
Akiba didn't explain to him, but looked down at Kohaku behind her.
“Kohaku.”
“Shiki-sama, please step back, these things are not something you can handle.”
Kohaku immediately stopped Tohno Shiki, letting Tohno Shiki step back, but even if Tohno Shiki didn't understand, he knew that Akiba was planning to face the other party alone.
Although the other party also looked like a young girl, and a beautiful girl at that, could it be that they were going to have a beautiful girl fight?
“Looks like you guys aren't willing to tell me where Shiki Tohno is?”
Arceuid understood from Akiha's expression that she wanted to fight, so she also adopted a fighting stance.
Just as Arceuid and Akiha were about to start fighting, Wang Xiaoming, who had arrived late, suddenly spoke.
“He's in the basement in the backyard.”
“......”
656. Farewell, Roa
The two people who were originally in a stalemate officially started fighting because of Wang Xiaoming's words.
Arceuid didn't care where the basement was. She only knew that the person was underground. She didn't care about anything else, just go for it! If worst comes to worst, she would tear down this villa and dig through all the ground. That way, she should be able to find that guy, right?
Arceuid's direct behavior of preparing to tear down the house immediately triggered Akiha's counterattack. Akiha raised her hands and attacked Arceuid. As the head of the Tohno family, Akiha had naturally received training, and her fighting skills were also very outstanding. However, she was unlucky because she was now facing not the Arceuid who had been cut into seventeen pieces by Shiki Tohno's transformation, causing her strength to be damaged, but the truly complete Arceuid, the True Ancestor among True Ancestors, the Princess of the True Ancestors!
With one block, Akiha Tohno was sent flying. The powerful force sent Akiha Tohno flying into the mansion like a cannonball, overturning two sofas before crashing into the wall and stopping.
“Akiha!”
Shiki Tohno shouted in fright.
But very quickly, Akiha, who had been sent flying, flew back again, quickly streaking past Shiki Tohno, dragging a red afterimage, and pounced directly at Arceuid.
Faced with the sudden red shadow, Arceuid simply frowned slightly, then turned around and kicked. The red shadow that had flown out flew back again.
However, compared to when she flew over before, the speed of flying back this time was a little slower. She didn't directly smash through the sofa, but stopped after retreating ten meters on the ground.
“Akiha?”
Shiki Tohno looked at the red figure that had stopped with some surprise, and was very surprised for a moment.
Because no matter how you looked at it, this person was Akiha who had just flown out, but unlike Akiha, her hair was bright red, while Akiha's long hair was black. It looked like Akiha's hair had turned red.
“You....”
“Young Master Shiki, please step aside. Next, Miss Akiha will have to deal with the enemy. The enemy is very powerful.”
Kohaku stopped Shiki, preventing him from rushing up impulsively. He had no combat ability due to his sealed memories. Originally, he could rely on his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception to deal some damage, but now, he no longer had his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, and he hadn't awakened his combat instincts. In addition, he had already died once before, so his body could be said to be very weak. If he got involved, he would be slapped to death. Didn't you see that Akiha Tohno, who was the head of the family and had received training, had been beaten back?
Akiha Tohno is not an ordinary person. She has the blood of Oni in her body, the kind of Japanese Oni, and her hair turning red proves that she is now using her bloodline power, which is the legendary Oni Transformation!
However, this Oni Transformation seems a little insufficient in the face of the True Ancestor's power.
“Kohaku, let brother leave. This place will become a battle....”
Akiha Tohno装逼very imposingly issued an order to Kohaku, but unfortunately, before she could finish speaking, a scarlet pair of eyes suddenly appeared in front of her.
Arceuid directly attacked her.
“Eh?”
Pa——
Arceuid's right hand directly slapped her face, and then Akiha Tohno rotated 720° to the right before flying out, instantly breaking through the wall. This time, the power was much greater than before!
After slapping Akiha Tohno away, Arceuid ignored Akiha. She didn't think that this kind of guy that could be easily dealt with could pose any threat to her. The first thing she had to do now was to find Shiki Tohno and kill Roa!
And Roa's location, according to Wang Xiaoming, was in the basement.
“Then...”
Arceuid looked down at the ground, then directly raised her hand and clenched her fist, and hammered down on the ground.
The huge force instantly pierced through the carpet, and at the same time, the marble tiles under the carpet were instantly shattered, and the floor in the entire villa was instantly cracked.
“Found it!”
With this punch, it was immediately clear whether the underground was solid or hollow.
Understanding that the area below was indeed hollow, Arceuid grinned and smiled happily, then hammered down on the ground with her other hand.
The huge force instantly penetrated the marble tile layer that had already been shattered, directly breaking through the floor.
The hand that broke through turned around and grabbed the floor, then pulled upwards with force.
“Get up for me!”
The floor was directly lifted by Arceuid, and a dark hole appeared in front of everyone.
“That is!”
Shiki, who was originally worried about Akiha's safety, was stunned as he looked at the dark hole.
“It's the basement.”
Kohaku replied coldly from the side.
“Eh? There really is a basement, so wouldn't that mean that Shiki Tohno is also....”
“That's right, Shiki Tohno is the true eldest son of the Tohno family, your brother, Young Master Shiki.”
Since the basement had already been exposed, there was no need to hide it anymore. Kohaku told Shiki Tohno the truth about Shiki.
“This!”
His sealed memories hadn't been opened yet, and he couldn't understand that there was such a thing. Most importantly, his sister knew, his family's maid knew, only he didn't know, why!?
Arceuid didn't care what the people on this side were thinking. She was happily digging. The floor, with a few more punches, the hole was instantly widened to more than 1 meter, and then she kicked the ground, directly cracking the floor she was standing on, and then her whole person stepped on a piece of floor and fell into the basement.
Wang Xiaoming and Leticia watched Arceuid enter the basement, and also walked into the villa.
Kohaku and the others saw that Wang Xiaoming and Leticia both had blond hair, especially Leticia who also had red eyes, and thought that they must also be vampires, and it seemed that they were also the bosses behind the scenes, after all, have you ever seen whose boss was the first to go up?
So they were even more afraid to stop them, and directly let Wang Xiaoming pass.
After the two passed, they jumped down into the basement one after the other, and then saw Arceuid with her back to them.
