"Akira!!" Glenda exclaimed happily upon seeing Akira open his eyes. "Are you okay?"
"No need to worry, I'm fine," Akira smiled as he gently patted Glenda's head. "So, do you know a way out of here, Glenda?"
Although Akira had become stronger than before, he still didn't know how to leave Nod, as Clairvoyance didn't work well in this place.
"Da!!" Glenda smiled gently and nodded upon hearing Akira's question. "To get out of here, all you need to do is drink my blood."
"I see..." Akira murmured, closing his eyes and using Lust Manipulation to trigger Vampiric Impulses, as sexual arousal was needed to activate Vampiric Impulses.
"..." Akira opened his crimson eyes, his fangs extending out of his mouth, and without hesitation, he sank them into Glenda's neck, needing to obtain her Blood Memory to escape from Nod.
"Akira..." Glenda whispered gently as she embraced Akira's head, enduring the pain from his fangs in her neck. Although Akira tried to minimize the pain as much as possible, it was still painful since it was the first time.
'I see... so this is what sharing Blood Memory feels like,' Akira thought as he absorbed the memories flowing from Glenda's blood into him.
Glenda was Cain's Vessel of Information, so she knew the way out of Nod. But that wasn't all; she still held many memories that made her dangerous to the world. However, Akira didn't care, as she would be under his protection.
'This feeling is intoxicating,' Akira thought, forcing himself to withdraw his fangs from Glenda's neck. The sweet taste of blood mixed with Cain's memories was not easily resistible, but fortunately, Akira had great mental fortitude.
"Let's go..." Akira smiled at Glenda, carrying her in a princess-style hold since he had just drained her blood, and it wasn't wise to let her move on her own despite her being a dragon.
"Da!!" Glenda nodded happily, wrapping her arms around Akira's neck with a big smile.
"Then let's go," Akira declared, using his magical power in addition to the full power of the Gift: Last Future of Embryo, moving through Nod toward the exit he saw in Glenda's memories.
As soon as Akira and Glenda moved away, Cain appeared, watching them with a pleased expression. "I'll leave Glenda in your care, heir of my old friend."
Even though Glenda was familiar to Cain, she was like a daughter to him, which made him happy to see how kindly Akira treated her.

"You take care of things here while I go retrieve Glenda," Azama said, opening another gate leading to Nod using his spear. "Make sure not to leave any witnesses alive."
After giving orders to his followers, Azama intended to jump into the Nod gate to retrieve Glenda, but he was startled when he sensed something rushing toward the gate.
"What's happening!!" Azama could only feel fear and panic as he lost control over the unstable Nod gate.
As Azama stared at the Nod gate in despair, he saw a shadow emerging from Nod, causing him to wonder if he was dreaming.
Boom*
After the shadow emerged from the Nod gate, the gate could no longer hold together and exploded, as it had been unstable from the start. The immense power of the Gift: Last Future of Embryo and Akira's overwhelming magical power caused it to break down.
"Did you think sending me to Nod was enough to kill me?" A cold, arrogant voice mocked Azama's weakness. Despite possessing artifacts that helped him use Nod's corrosion, Akira's magical power dispersed the mist and smoke, revealing Akira unharmed, with Glenda resting gently in his arms.
"How!!" Azama couldn't help but be shocked, unable to believe that a mere human could escape from Nod alone. Not only that, but instead of disappearing, Akira's demonic presence had become even more powerful and apparent.
"The dead have no need for knowledge," Akira said coldly, appearing behind Azama in an instant and kicking the spear towards him without hesitation.
Azama barely reacted to Akira's speed, quickly turning and positioning the spear in front of him to block Akira's kick.
"..." Seeing Azama's reaction, Akira's smile widened as he had deliberately allowed Azama to react to his speed, intending to destroy the spear and the shield simultaneously.
Ting*
Crashed*
Akira's kick wasn't just reliant on his physical strength. He channeled the power of the Gift: Last Future of Embryo into his foot, shattering Azama's artifacts and creating a large hole in his abdomen.
"Impossible..." Azama murmured, staring in disbelief at the completely shattered artifacts. "This can't be happening!!"
"How could a mere human destroy artifacts containing divine power?" It was clear that Azama had lost his sanity as he desperately tried to retrieve the shattered artifacts, ignoring the hole in his abdomen as if he didn't feel it.
"Fool..." Akira sneered coldly, spreading his wings from his back and flying into the sky toward where Yukari and Hisano were, intending to take the girl who was to be used as a sacrifice with him.

Hi everyone, I'm finally back, sorry for the hiatus the last few days but I've been so busy I couldn't even touch my computer.
Also it seems that Patreon has added a new feature that allows you to buy just one chapter and if you want you can try it although I don't recommend it since the minimum price for a chapter is $3 and I couldn't lower it any further.
