When Tsukune first undid Moka’s seal, inner Moka’s view of the world became much more profound. While her personal void remained comforting, she now possessed a clearer and more connected perspective of the outside world.

She could sleep if she wanted to, able to block out the world if needed but if she wanted, she could see the outside world, using the rosary as her point of view.

I’ve been trying to contact the other me but it’s been difficult.

Fortunately for inner Moka, the connection she’s been trying to form with her outer self is slowly and surely becoming stronger.

After the incident with Rainee, inner Moka’s view of the outside world became even clearer and her connection with her outer self was becoming more powerful.

A few more and I’ll be able to commune with her.

While inner Moka was relaxing, the sudden appearance of Kurumu annoyed her.

Another fool that wants to bother her betters.

Inner Moka’s annoyance grew further when this Kurumu managed to trick her outer self due to her lack of knowledge

She tried to inform her outer self at the outset of the situation but the connection between them wasn’t strong enough. Due to Kurumu’s manipulation, her outer self was separated from Tsukune. Inner Moka didn’t enjoy seeing her other self in such a depressed state

Stop crying fool. We are a vampire. We have to carry ourselves with dignity.

Fortunately for both inner and outer Moka, their connection became powerful enough that they were finally able to talk to each other.

Unfortunately for inner Moka, she couldn’t directly solve her problem. Tsukune was still annoying and Kurumu was still being a two-faced harlot.

So when inner Moka was finally released from the rosary, she felt a bit excited but she quickly controlled herself.

Proud smile. Straight stance. Good.

----------------------------------------

Once more, the undoing of Moka's seal unleashed an astonishing surge of power, and just like in previous instances, all the surplus energy quickly returned to its source.

The youki that escaped Moka’s body was so abundant that it shoved Kurumu back as if it had physical weight.

“W-what is this?! This youki… this amount is absurd!!”

As the energy returns to Moka, it starts to create a whirlpool of energy with her as the center. Unbeknownst to both Kurumu and Tsukune, Inner Moka used an advanced youki application to absorb stray youki from the surroundings, increasing her already massive pool of power.

Kurumu watched as Moka’s bright pink hair started to shine and turn to a blinding silver. Her body adjusted to the incoming power, becoming taller and more combat-oriented. Beautiful green eyes suddenly turn crimson, reminding Kurumu of the legends.

T-This is a true vampire?!

The surge of energy stopped as Moka fully reabsorbed her own power, along with a bit extra.

Tsukune heaves a sigh of relief.

“I made it in time…” he whispers.

Despite being able to undo Moka’s seal, Tsukune had many questions.

What’s going on? Why did it work at that time? What are the conditions of the rosary’s unsealing?

While Tsukune was deep in thought, Kurumu flew upward and scoffed.

“So? What if you have a massive pool of youki? There’s no point in something that big if you can’t use it!”

She started gathering her youki, infusing it into every part of her body, enhancing her strength.

“There’s no way I could lose!” hearing Kurumu’s proud declaration, Tsukune watched as the blue-haired girl seemed to distort from view and split into two.

What?! There are two of her now?!

Both Kurumus turned toward Moka with complete arrogance. The two of them spoke and moved at the same time, making it impossible for someone like Tsukune to see which was the real one.

"Us succubi need to tempt as many men as we can so that we can find for our destined one. Unlike other races, we cannot have children unless our partner is our destined one. That’s why, succubi need as many men as we can have, so that we don’t make a mistake.”

The two Kurumus then ascended into the air.

“Moka! You got in the way of that! I can’t let you go unpunished!”

Kurumu and her double then vanish into the sky. Almost immediately, two silhouettes reappear as they dive bomb toward Moka.

Moka chuckled at Kurumu. With a loud and proud voice, she spoke.

"And why should I concern myself with the desires and whims of a monster that refused to approach me and negotiate peacefully?”

Kurumu grits her teeth and charges toward Moka at breakneck speeds.

Moka enters a combat stance.

Within a split second, Kurumu's visage appears before Moka, ready to strike. Instantly reacting, Moka dodges to the side, only to see another Kurumu charging at her.

Tsukune watched as the two Kurumus attacked Moka from both sides.

“Moka dodge!”

But Moka didn’t listen to his warning. As the second Kurumu charged, she pivoted to deliver a powerful kick to the first. The first Kurumu barely evaded Moka's attack, while the second one passed harmlessly through Moka.

An illusion??

Tsukune noted that while the two Kurumus created distance between them and Moka.

After gaining enough distance, the two Kurumus fly upward once again to gain speed. Disappearing and appearing from the sky, they charge toward Moka again.

This time Moka doesn’t budge. The first Kurumu goes through Moka while the second backs away, realizing that Moka immediately recognized the fake. Kurumu prepared to fly up again but Moka’s words stopped her.

“Is that all succubus? You can’t allow me to garner the attention of the male student body so you dare raise such weak claws and magic against the likes of me?”

Moka smiles. “Pathetic.”

Hearing that, Kurumu’s expression turns to that of anger. Moka raises her hand and gestures for her to attack.

“Come, you frail and egotistical girl. I’ll show you your place.”

Kurumu then screams and charges forward. Her purple eyes glow brightly for a moment, causing large vines to appear around Moka which ensnares her.

Seeing Moka covered in large vines, Kurumu smiles.

I got her!

Along with her double, Kurumu charges at Moka again.

Moka stays still in the presence of those illusionary vines, causing Kurumu to accelerate.

As the two Kurumus approach, Moka snaps out of the vines and leaps upward with a somersault. Moka quickly reaches the top of the two Kurumus who cluelessly look up as well, only to see a smiling Moka above them.

“Fool, you should know your place.”

Moka then maneuvers her body to deliver a powerful kick at the real Kurumu.

Sensing a massively concentrated amount of youki at the end of Moka’s feet, Kurumu panics and gathers all of her remaining energy, even dispelling her other self, to create a barrier around her body.

Moka's attack instantly shatters Kurumu's barrier. Instead of making direct contact, Kurumu is sent flying. Before she can gain any distance, Moka lands on the ground and leaps toward her with frightening speed.

She appears just in front of Kurumu.

“Slow.”

Moka then grabs her tail.

“Why don’t I rip off this tail and your wings so that you can never fly again?”

Kurumu screams in pain when Moka exerts a force on her tail.

“No!”

Moka then swings Kurumu with immense strength toward the ground. Kurumu feels the full weight of inertia bearing on her body as Moka swings her like a toy. She’s then slammed into the ground, causing the earth around her to break and scatter.

Kurumu groans in pain as the air is knocked out of her lungs. Fortunately, Kurumu, being a monster, was tougher than well-trained humans. This pain was temporary.

Moka lands on the ground in front of Kurumu.

"Calm yourself. Your attacks are too predictable. You're clearly an amateur masking as an expert."

Moka gives Kurumu a sharp glare.

“You act like a powerful succubus but you’re just a fledgling; a naive little girl.”

Seeing Moka’s true form and strength, Kurumu started to tremble.

“Ah- Oh… I-”

Sensing that Kurumu’s spirit has been shattered, Moka starts to gather youki again, giving her a terrifying aura.

"Well, this was an okay warm up but it's time. I'll make it so you can never do this again."

In front of this massively powerful creature that wore the face of a beautiful goddess, Kurumu felt small and weak. She’d never encountered such a creature, except possibly her grandmother.

I-I’m going to die!

Kurumu’s eyes watered at the thought of dying.

No! I haven’t even had my first kiss! I haven’t slept with a boy yet!

“Um… ah… hicc…”

Moka stops on her steps when she sees a familiar person standing in front of Kurumu to stop her.

Tsukune stood just right in front of Kurumu, blocking her view of Moka. She gasped when she saw Tsukune stand in front of that monstrous vampire.

“T-Tsukune?”

Tsukune turns around and gives Kurumu his best reassuring smile.

“Stay put Kurumu, okay?”

Kurumu nods immediately, desperate to get out of this situation.

Moka was annoyed but she kept her expression neutral.

“What is the meaning of this?”

Seeing that Tsukune didn’t budge, Moka continued.

“Tsukune, move! Have you forgotten your discussion with the other me earlier? This one will not stop harassing you or me unless we stop her."

Tsukune purses his lips and shakes his head.

“Moka, I think this is enough.”

Moka raises an eyebrow and gestures for Tsukune to continue.

“I. Ever since that incident with Rainee, you told me that she hasn’t returned to school, right?”

Moka shrugs.

“What of it?”

Tsukune continues.

“I… I think your attack on her last time did some irreparable damage.”

“And? She attacked us. She should’ve been prepared for the consequences of her actions.” Moka says with a clear voice, devoid of any regret or remorse.

Tsukune swallows the lump that quickly forms in his throat.

This Moka doesn’t give much value to those things.

“After hearing what Kurumu and what you said earlier, I don’t believe that hurting her anymore has any point. And… I don’t believe that Kurumu is all bad.”

Moka crosses her arms. Sensing that Moka started to pull back her youki, Tsukune continues.

“I just can’t see Kurumu as that bad of a person… I have to give her a second chance… Just like how you gave me a second chance.”

Tsukune’s smile seems to disarm Moka, even if for just a second.

She walks forward, causing Tsukune to raise his guard which causes Moka to almost laugh. She swipes the cross from Tsukune’s hand.

“What are you doing you fool? Do you intend to fight me?”

Tsukune quickly shakes his head and raises his arms in surrender. Moka comes closer to Tsukune, their faces just separated by a few inches. She then speaks with a soft, almost seductive voice.

“Tsukune, I’ll allow you this but don’t misunderstand. I just didn’t want your blood taken away from me.”

Moka then looks away from Tsukune and gives Kurumu a glare as a final warning. She then turns back to Tsukune with a still terrifying but far more gentle face.

“Don’t forget. I’m not like the other me, so don’t you dare assume your charms will affect me.”

Sealing herself away, Moka faints and falls forward. As usual, Tsukune catches her. Finally, out of the fire, he heaves a sigh of relief.

He then lowers his knees so he can carry Moka in his arms. Turning toward Kurumu with a sleeping Moka in his arms, Tsukune gives her a reassuring smile.

Kurumu's heart pounded as she watched Tsukune with lovestruck eyes.

He looks like a knight… Is… is he the one?

“Kurumu.”

“Y-Yes?!” Kurumu almost shouted when Tsukune called her name.

“Are you okay?”

Kurumu checked herself and found that despite Moka’s attacks, she was fine. She was drained of youki but otherwise fine.

She meekly nods at Tsukune’s question.

“That’s good… Can you stand?”

Kurumu nods and stands up.

“Let’s go back, together.”

Kurumu nods again, unable to say anything.

Tsukune leads the way and the two walk back to the academy.
