Dragon Vein is a source of pure natural energy that is said to have existed since time immemorial with a large to almost unlimited capacity. The members of the Chat Group more or less understood what Dragon Vein was.
"But, where would you get such a thing?"
Rori just wanted to make sure because finding such a thing was not an easy matter. And there's no way Izumi would look for that in this world because the planet's energy itself is nearly extinct. Izumi also said it took 4 days. Did he really have information about the Dragon Vein he was after?
"Rōran in the land of wind. It's on your world, Kisame, Kakashi-san."
Izumi told them where he could get it.
"Rōran? That ruin has that kind of treasure?"
"Ryūmyaku, isn't it?"
Kisame had never heard of Dragon Vein in Rōran. And as soon as Kakashi said "Ryūmyaku", he remembered that he had been on a mission there when Minato was still alive. He didn't think that Ryūmyaku was Dragon Vein, which was a source of pure energy.
"Wouldn't if Ryūmyaku's seal opened, someone would be able to sense the disturbance?" Kakashi asked.
"That's for sure."
"Then, is that even possible? You said you only need 4 days. However, the ninjas from Sunagakure won't stay still after they feel the disturbance. They'll be arriving at Rōran in no time."
Kisame's words were true. When there is a disturbance, especially from a pure energy source. Many people will feel it and find out what causes such a burst out of energy. Izumi pointed back by pointing at Hiiro with his thumb.
"That's why I asked Hiiro to come."
"Me? Why?"
"Only your magic can create a barrier to prevent the energy source in Rōran from leaking out."
Kisame seemed to not believe Izumi's words so his sharp gaze turned to Hiiro.
"Are you sure? I don't feel that he is stronger than me."
Hiiro responded because he didn't like Kisame's gaze.
"Want to try?"
"Why not?"
Hiiro's response made Kisame raise his sword, Samehada. And when Kuroneko heard their bickering, she immediately shouted.
"Go, go!"
"Fight, fight!"
"Let's make a bet on who will win!"
Tabane and Rori also joined in the fun. Even Izumi said to them.
"Well, you two can fight now! I'll wait until you guys are done."
After he said that. He sat on the tree nearby, watching Hiiro and Kisame while crossing his hands.
Suddenly, a notification popped up on his phone, as well as the others. This brought Hiiro and Kisame's fight to a halt as well.

"Wtf, new mission. And it's first a ★5 mission."
Izumi was quite surprised. Looks like the new mission could be triggered by a few things, just like during the previous mission. Plus, it's the first time getting a ★5 mission. After reading the mission he just got, Izumi turned to the others to which Kuroneko started to speak first.
"Looks like this mission signals us to destroy the original plot."
After Kuroneko, Warrod gave an additional comment.
"Also, we were given a ★5 mission after analyzing our ability to be unable to defeat a god."
"Didn't Izumi-chan say that he knew D's weakness? He also believed that his plan would work."
Kuroneko responded to Tabane.
"But seeing this mission appeared, I became doubtful."
Tabane rested her chin on her palms after Kuroneko's words rang in her ears. She looked at Izumi who said afterward.
"That's why I need your power to take her down, Kuroneko."
"Eh..."
Then Izumi pointed at the symbol in Kuroneko's hand.
"Your Divine Sword."
Instantly, Kuroneko's face went pale. Kuroneko thought that Izumi intended to throw her at D. She immediately ran behind Rori for cover.
"Are you kidding me? No, no, no... I refuse!"
Seeing Kuroneko's frightened face, Izumi scratched his head because he thought Kuroneko had misunderstood. This was his problem, so he personally would face D head-on. Though, he needs the strength of his friends because his strength is not enough.
"I didn't mean to make you fight head-on with D. I just need your sword spirit's energy."
"Nana's?"
Nana is the incarnation of Kuroneko's spirit sword. Kuroneko gave her a name to make it easier to call her. Kuroneko thought Izumi would force her and Nana to fight against D. It turned out Izumi only needed Nana's energy and Kuroneko was relieved after knowing that.
Izumi then explained again what he wanted to do before initiating the plan. He told the others that he would create some items first. And the item will be used by him to collect a pure energy source or other energy. Good thing that he got nice skills from D, so his trouble was lessened, although he would remove the skill before he collected the energy from the Dragon Vein.
— — — —
They had discussed the plan to seal D, and next was planning to eliminate those dirty elves. For additional reinforcement, Ariel and Kumoko were enough since Ariel told him that the strongest in the demon army was still below Kumoko and the Queen of Taratech in terms of strength.
While they were following Izumi who was approaching Ariel, Tabane asked Kisame.
"Same-chan, how is Karin-chan? You taught her Ninjutsu, right? Did you and Itachi-chan also teach her something else?"
"Ugh...I can't teach her, so I leave everything to Itachi."
"What a fool. You could have gotten one of the best disciples in the Shinobi world."
"Why should I have a disciple? It's not important. In addition, Itachi is more suitable since that lass has Sharingan."
Izumi who overheard their conversation commented.
"Karin has potential. Her chakra capacity may not be as big as yours now. But in the future, she will surpass you. Well, even though she won't be as strong as you because she has a little bit of battle experience."
"You think highly of her, huh?"
"Of course. Well, let's talk about that later. We will discuss the mission with her."
Izumi signaled with his eyes as he looked in Ariel's direction, who would join the plan to eliminate the elves. Not just Ariel, but Izumi also invited Kumoko where she could increase her level so that she would be able to evolve quickly.
"Ariel-chan. Change of plans. We plan to eliminate the elves within 2 months."
"What? Are you serious?"
"Well, before that, we better get to know each other first."
Izumi didn't wait for Ariel to say something. He turned around and asked Rori to come closer, then introduced her.
"This is Rori, although she looks like a little girl, in fact, she is..."
"Do you want to feel my curse?"
Izumi got goosebumps hearing Rori's voice which was so sinister.
"Anyway, you two are kinda similar, and Rori is just as strong as you, Ariel-chan."
Hearing Rori who has the same strength as her, Ariel was stunned, and so was Kumoko who heard it. Kumoko already felt that Rori was dangerous. But unexpectedly, she is as dangerous as Ariel. She said in her heart.
"Oi oi, are you kidding me? One Ariel is seriously scary, and there is another one? Please leave me alone! Can I get out of here?"
Of course, no one answered her.
"Next up is Tabane. She has a modified body that is much stronger than an ordinary human's body. In addition, she is a science expert. You can see this."
Izumi moved his ring. After that, navy blue-colored armor appeared, covering his limbs and back. On his back, there are blue-glow marvelous wings that spread out beautifully.
"You could say this was Tabane's invention. And I only learned from her to make my own." Izumi didn't want Ariel to get the wrong idea because his IS might have something in common with the robot Potimas made, so he quickly explained to her." Oh right, don't get me wrong. This thing has a core of its own and doesn't use up any energy from this planet that's already exhausted, so take it easy."
Kumoko saw Izumi's whole body was clad in Armor which made her complain.
"Hey hey, earlier was Terminator, now there's Gundam too. Please don't ruin the fantasy world setting!"
Kumoko had a sort of bizarre feeling because the fantasy world in her imagination had changed a lot since the appearance of the Terminator, Potimas. But she was also wondering, she didn't remember there was such advanced science in her original world. It was as if Izumi came from a different Japan or Japan in a parallel world.
"Well, who cares. More importantly, I already agreed I would help the demon lord to save this planet. If this planet is destroyed, can I still live in outer space?"
Kumoko shook her head. Forgetting the crazy imagination that was close to the death flag.
— — — —
After getting to know each other, Ariel decided to continue the journey. After hearing what Izumi said, Ariel became a little worried about what Potimas was planning for Kumoko's former classmate. She didn't want any more human experiments like the one that happened to her more than 1,000 years ago as she happened to be one of the victims.
And regarding Izumi's offer, it was really surprising. Ariel thought she would need help from Izumi in the next few years because she also wanted to gather troops first. However, after Izumi introduced his friends whose strength was stronger than any commander in Ariel's current army, Ariel immediately agreed with Izumi's offer.
Ariel asked why they had to rush. Izumi only replied that something bad would happen if they didn't do that in the next 2 months. As a matter of fact, Izumi might or might not need her help in his plan, depending on the outcome later.
After that, Ariel wants to take Sophia and her parents to the demon territory. Sophia's parents refused because they couldn't live in a place like that. However, what Ariel said stunned them, including Merazophis.
"Your daughter who is a vampire can't live near humans. Humans will hunt your daughter if they find out the truth."
"Vampire? What do you mean?"
"Don't joke around! Her parents are pure humans, why do you say she's a vampire? What is the proof?"
Sophia's mother didn't seem to believe what Ariel said, even Merazophis snapped.
Ariel was silent for a moment. She wanted to say something, but Izumi interrupted as he began to talk with Sophia.
"Little baby, should I call you Sophia Keren, or Negishi Shouko?"
Izumi spoke in Japanese, so Sophia's parents and Merazophis didn't understand his words.
Izumi continued.
"You don't need to reveal your true identity! But, regarding your race, which is a vampire, I will make excuses for your family."
Sophia was silent because she hesitated at the difficult choice she had. If she said she was a vampire, she was afraid that her parents would hate her.
"You're not going to say something that makes them afraid of me, are you?"
"Well, I just wanted to help you. It's up to you whether you accept it or not."
Indeed as a vampire race having human parents is so strange. It was like saying that Sophia wasn't their biological child. And because Ariel said that so casually, Sophia couldn't hide it anymore. Well, sooner or later such a thing would be discovered by her parents. So, it might be better if they knew early on.
Izumi turned to Sophia's parents.
"Sir, Madam, I have said before, your daughter is special. The fact that your daughter is special is because she has a unique skill as this spider has." Izumi pointed at Kumoko, then continued. "Before, she was the spider you met when you were attacked by the bandits back then, and this is the result of her evolution."
Kumoko has a lower body similar to the spider Sophia's mother had seen before. Though this time, her appearance was kinda different because she had a human upper body. Sophia's mother looked at Kumoko who didn't expect that the monster that had the upper body of a human was the spider she had met before.
She thought.
"To think a monster can evolve."
In general, the evolution of monsters was unknown to most humans. There are only a few exceptions, such as a monster tamer, wizard, or adventurer. As a noble who rarely dealt with monsters, it was only natural that Sophia's mother had heard of monster evolution for the first time.
Then, she heard Izumi say again.
"Thanks to that unique skill, sometimes, there are side effects that make the owner have a change, which can be a change of race, memory loss, or others. Like this spider who has memory loss."
Kumoko more or less understood what Izumi said as she was also starting to learn the language in her new world.
"Memory loss?" Kumoko responded by pointing to herself. Then Izumi asked Kumoko if she remembered her past 3 years ago. He asked in a language that Sophia's mother could understand. But he added it in Japanese. "Memories of 3 years in the past before you died."
Kumoko previously wanted to answer that the memories of 3 years ago didn't exist because she was 2 years old in this world, but when she heard Izumi's additional words, she fell silent. She started to think that her memories from before high school were so vague. It's like Kumoko did lose her memory after reincarnating in a fantasy world.
Of course, Kumoko didn't remember. Kumoko only got a soul fragment from D which only explained her background. Besides, she was just a spider who happened to be in the class and reincarnated afterward by getting some memories from "Wakaba Hiiro". Naturally, those memories were just her background being an orphan, a loner, and a gamer. Still, knowing that she didn't vividly remember her memories 3 years ago was too weird as if what Izumi said was true.
In fact, she only has a small memory of her time on earth because she doesn't know that she is not the real "Wakaba Hīro". After all, the real "Wakaba Hīro" is on earth right now.
Kumoko held her dizzy head as she was confused from not remembering 3 years prior before she died. She even thought that Izumi's words were true regarding memory loss and changing races. This is because Kumoko only knew that she was human before reincarnating into a spider afterward. Moreover, Sophia was also a vampire race now. Even Sophia herself thought that Izumi's words seemed legit after seeing Kumoko's reaction.
"See? She didn't even remember her past even though she had already lived for a long time." Izumi said to Sophia's parents while pointing at the confused Kumoko. "And I'll tell you that what Ariel said was real."
Sophia's parents saw that Izumi's expression didn't contain any lies. She also saw how Kumoko did look difficult to remember her past. Sophia's mother, who was holding her daughter, stroked Sophia's head while hugging her. She didn't think that Sophia wasn't her daughter because Sophia was born from her womb. She was just afraid that Sophia would change because she knew that vampires were bloodthirsty creatures. Sophia's expression looked difficult as she glanced at her mother, afraid that her mother hated her.
Ms. Keren just smiled.
"Even if you're a vampire, you're still my daughter."
She turned her head and looked in Ariel's direction. This was thanks to what Ariel said. If she insisted on bringing Sophia to live like a human, sooner or later, Sophia who is a vampire would be discovered by others. Thinking about the best for her daughter's future, it would be best if she accepted Ariel's offer.
— — — —
While Ariel decided to return to demon territory as soon as possible, Kumoko planned to train Sophia later as Kumoko felt that it was necessary for Sophia to get stronger to protect her family as she understood that her world wasn't friendly at all.
Ariel asked if Kumoko could teleport them to demon territory directly. But it turned out that Kumoko could only teleport to places she's been to.
"Oh yeah, before we head to demon territory, it'd be best if we stop at the border between the Renxandt Empire and the demon territory for a bit."
Suddenly, Izumi conveyed his opinion to Ariel. Ariel asked.
"Why do you want to go there?"
"Looking for an Oni who is Kumo-chan's old friend. Eh, maybe he hasn't evolved into an Oni yet. Or has he?"
