After cleaning up the mess in the canyon, Hyakusuke and the others who found the Fire Obsidian Orb reunited with Renjo Senjuro, Saizo, and the trio of Wolf Fang Shell Serpents who had gone to eliminate another group controlled by Tsukuyomi Karura.

After the reunion, the group returned to the Ainu village to rest.

In the village surrounded by fences, the crackling sound of the bonfire entered their ears with the night wind.

"In our tribe's language, the catacombs are also called 'Maze Paths'."

Lia, the village chief, explained to everyone, "According to our ancestors, the people who built the Maze Paths were not humans, nor were they Ainu, but an ancient race called Korpokkur."

This is a race from Ainu legends. They live under giant butterbur leaves, are short in stature, have beards, and are skilled at making pottery and metal tools. They also possess strange powers.

Grandma Lia said that the Korpokkur seemed to have spent a day and a night digging many vast, maze-like "Maze Paths" under the earth.

There are said to be hundreds of Maze Paths just on the northeastern land. Moreover, each Maze Path is incredibly vast, with countless forks inside, and even several layers that lead to deeper underground spaces.

The Maze Paths run deep beneath the earth, intertwined and dense like a spider web. In Grandma Lia's grandfather's time, there was a very brave hunter who once went deep underground. He passed through nine layers of the Maze Path and reached the tenth layer.

This brave man is said to have seen the scenery of hell in the tenth layer of the Maze Path and fled out of fear.

The hunter, who was originally the most daring man in the entire tribe, went completely mad after this exploration.

"Grandma means... we should be careful of the 'Maze Paths'?"

"Hehe, that's right."

Grandma Lia smiled.

"The underground world is different from the world above. There are all kinds of dangers there... In short, it's best to be careful."

Be careful?!

Yoake fell into thought.

However, she didn't worry for too long before relaxing her brows.

"Forget it, I'll just think of a solution when the time comes."

She was as optimistic as ever.

However, Hyakusuke's mood was hard to say. He wasn't worried about the "Maze Paths," but about this trip to Tsukuyomi Karura's territory.

According to the original game plot, Tsukuyomi Karura Yoake could not only obtain rare plot items through the old territory trip, but also obtain the secret of her background.

However, the many changes in the plot now made him wonder if the game's plot was deviating from his "control."

His mood became somewhat complicated.

...

In the forest, a spear cut through the atmosphere at an alarming speed, but it did not hit the target.

No, it should be said that the spear blade appeared at another point in an instant.

This was Hyakusuke's self-developed "Space-Piercing Spear."

This was only possible with the divine power blessed by the subdued Kūro Divine General, and the Shrinking Earth Amulet.

His spear could "teleport" in this way, and the spear blade could move at will to any position visible in his field of vision.

Originally, whether it was spear techniques, swordsmanship, or other martial arts, they were all techniques that required shortening the distance to inflict physical attacks on the opponent.

However, Hyakusuke's Space-Piercing Spear completely subverted the techniques of cold weapons. To put it another way, being able to teleport his spear tip across a distance made his moves too anti-conventional.

"Not enough!"

Hyakusuke muttered to himself, gently extending the spear in his hand. The continuous attacks of the spear tip turned into lightning. However, this time the spear blade did not disappear, but several flashes of light suddenly exploded in the distance.

These were Kiro Arrows!

He didn't teleport the spear blade, but released the light arrows formed by Kiro techniques from the spear tip.

The rock in the distance, which was regarded as the target, was blasted into scattered pieces by dozens of light arrows.

Countless gravel fragments burst out, and the rock turned into rubble.

"The attack trajectory has become difficult to predict, but it's not very useful against those monsters with super-strong reflexes."

Hyakusuke had tried fighting Yoake, and he found that this move was suitable for instant kills.

When facing a sword master like Yoake, once she adapted to the "Space-Piercing Spear," she could use her superhuman reflexes to evade.

It would be a miracle to succeed.

That was a realm that the Spear Saint had reached with all his effort. Hyakusuke didn't think he could cultivate to that level so easily.

"The Spear Saint lived for a long time, I can't do that. This is not a spear technique that can be cultivated in the short term."

In a simple training session, after he consumed his spiritual power, he had to sit down and rest for a while.

"Hyakusuke-san."

A voice came from his ear.

Hyakusuke turned his head and found that the person who came was Hiiragi Hiruko.

For some reason, at this moment, the expression on her face looked very calm, but a trace of blush appeared on her cheeks.

The girl stared intently at Hyakusuke, her lips slightly parted, exhaling a slightly hoarse, beautiful voice: "Can you come over here for a moment, I... need you to do me a favor."

"Okay."

Hyakusuke nodded briefly.

"This place isn't very good... Let's go to a more secluded place."

...

Huff huff.

In a secluded corner of the forest, the low gasps of a man and a woman were faintly heard.

Hyakusuke's head was dizzy. His clothes were pulled open, and his neck was pierced by sharp fangs. Rapid blood loss in a short period of time might not be something even a body that had consumed "Mermaid Flesh" could withstand.

He and the shrine maiden were maintaining a posture of hugging each other. However, for Hyakusuke himself, this feeling was not at all charming. He only felt like he was a prey caught by a spider, or entangled by a poisonous snake, suffering the pain of being treated as prey and being hunted.

Hiiragi Hiruko was sucking his blood. Her open arms tightly embraced his body, and she opened her vampire fangs, bit his neck, pierced his skin, and touched his blood vessels.

— Glug glug.

At the same time that blood was being sucked away, Hyakusuke experienced the feeling of his life force being drained away.

'...Even more than she sucked last time.'

Last time, the shrine maiden clearly maintained her reserve. Now, she was completely open, treating herself as a blood bag.

He didn't resist and could only grit his teeth and endure.

Hiiragi Hiruko seemed to be enjoying the whole process. The "prey" whose neck she bit was trembling.

The moans of pain produced by the man enduring blood loss were as melodious as some kind of music.

When the scalding blood satisfied the thirst in her throat and warmly nourished her throat, she could experience unparalleled pleasure.

"Hiruko... -san, is that enough?"

The man couldn't bear it and lowered his voice.

Hiiragi Hiruko could hardly hear what he was saying. The only thing she could feel was the man's rapid heartbeat and the suffocatingly sweet scent of blood.

"Excuse me, can you move aside?"

The man frowned and pushed her away forcefully. The girl almost fell. However, she was not pushed too far.

Hiiragi Hiruko chuckled, a particularly sweet laugh. She stretched out her right hand and charmingly stroked her cheek.

The man felt a creepy atmosphere and didn't move at all.

Then, she ran her fingers over Hyakusuke's neck, the fingertips stained with blood, greedily sending it to her beautiful lips. Finally, she licked away the blood that had fallen on the corner of her mouth.

That enchanting gesture couldn't help but make one's spine tingle.

"Are you okay?"

Hyakusuke asked, somewhat worried, as he placed his hand on her shoulder.

"Hiruko-san... is your condition stable?"

He reached out and waved his hand in front of Hiiragi Hiruko's eyes a few times.

"Eh?"

Suddenly, she seemed to wake up, the blood red in her eyes flashing away.

"I, I... what was I doing just now—"

She finally regained her sanity and looked at her blood-stained hand in shock.

"Could it be... have I lost control again?"

"No, it doesn't seem like anything happened."

Hyakusuke also breathed a sigh of relief: "After this, please have Mahora and Yuki Onna check you out... It may be that the power of the True Ancestor has not yet stabilized. This is not your fault, don't worry."

"Yes, yes."

Her eyes were filled with tears, and she seemed to recall what had happened when she lost control, and her body trembled a little.

"I, I hurt you again."

"It's okay, I won't be hurt by this."

While patting her back, Hyakusuke said comforting words.

"I'm sorry..."

She was both ashamed and uncomfortable, and she apologized in a vague voice while burying her body deeply in Hyakusuke's chest.

"I really don't know how to face you, Hyakusuke-san."

"Let's talk about it later, let's go back first."

Hyakusuke said this, but his body was too weak. Just as he was struggling to get up, he heard another familiar voice in his ear.

"Excuse me, can I ask..."

At some point, a figure appeared under a large tree, it was Tsukuyomi Karura Yoake. Her voice was icy and without warmth, and she maintained a smile on her face, but the chill frozen in her eyes was already obvious.

"—What are you two doing?"
