Holder of Magia Erebea Starting in HxH

"We've arrived," said Touta as he stood in front of a simple wooden house in the forest by a lake. He had lived there with Yukihime since they arrived on Whale Island, having built the house themselves. Yukihime possessed vast knowledge in many fields.

"I see... thank you for your hard work," Tachibana smiled and, without hesitation, stabbed Touta with a sword that appeared from nowhere.

"W-what...?" Touta could only stare at his chest in disbelief as he felt a burning pain. A simple sword had pierced him from behind and was protruding from his chest. "Cough!!..."

Touta coughed up some blood but quickly gritted his teeth and tried to kick Tachibana with a back axe-kick aimed at Tachibana's face.

"Interesting..." Tachibana muttered as he withdrew his sword from Touta's back and effortlessly leapt backward, avoiding Touta's attack.

"You bastard!!..." Touta glared at Tachibana in anger and fear, clutching his right hand over the wound in his chest—directly over his heart. Tachibana clearly intended to kill him with no chance of survival by stabbing through his heart.

"Touta?..." At that moment, Touta heard a sweet, gentle voice that could only belong to Yukihime. "Are you back?"

"...!" As soon as Yukihime opened the door, her eyes fell upon Touta kneeling, clutching his chest where his heart was, and bleeding. "Touta!!"

Seeing Touta in such a state, Yukihime couldn't help but panic. She rushed toward him in a frenzy, not even noticing Tachibana, who had appeared beside her through a magic circle in the air.

"Yukihime!! Behind you!!" Touta shouted in panic and tried to lunge toward Yukihime to protect her, but he couldn't move. Having been stabbed through the heart, he lacked the strength, causing him to collapse into a small pool of his own blood.

Hearing Touta's scream, Yukihime attempted to turn around to defend herself, but it was too late. All she felt was a cold blade slicing her body into several pieces at lightning speed, sending each part flying in different directions.

As hands, feet, and other pieces flew off in different directions, Yukihime's head landed beside Touta, almost as if Tachibana was mocking them by making sure they died together.

"You bastard, who are you!!" Yukihime asked angrily, her hatred toward Tachibana, who had attacked Touta, clearly visible.

"As expected of a Vampire with a 5 billion Jenny bounty," Tachibana said in admiration as he stared at Yukihime, who could still speak despite her body being sliced into more than five pieces.

"I see... a bounty hunter," Yukihime said as she moved closer to Touta, bringing their faces extremely close to each other.

"Yukihime..." Touta muttered weakly, staring at her in shock. He knew how strong she was, yet he never expected her to be killed alongside him.

Seeing Yukihime's condition, Touta couldn't help but feel a surge of overwhelming anger. But it wasn't directed at Tachibana—it was at himself for bringing this bastard here, causing Yukihime's death.

"Touta... listen carefully," Yukihime whispered, so low that Tachibana couldn't hear. "It seems that man used some kind of poison on his blade, which is preventing me from using my power. That means you have to defeat him yourself."

"Hmm, witness..." Tachibana muttered, noticing Gon sitting atop a large tree, fishing by the lake, seemingly unaware of the commotion happening below.

Although Gon hadn't seen anything, Tachibana licked his lips with excitement as he stared at Gon with murderous intent. The excuse of a witness was just a reason for him to kill more humans, as he enjoyed killing.

Due to his excitement, Tachibana didn't notice the conversation happening between Yukihime and Touta. He already considered them dead, believing that no Vampire could survive a pierced heart, dismemberment, and poisoning with a substance that prevented regeneration.

"Listen carefully, Touta," Yukihime said seriously, noticing how Tachibana was preparing to kill Gon. "Do you want the power to kill that man and save Gon?"

Even though Yukihime knew she was exploiting the situation to fulfill her selfish desire, she didn't care. She was certain that Touta would forgive her.

"Yes, I want the power to kill that damn bastard," Touta said, gritting his teeth in anger, staring at Tachibana with a murderous intent. He certainly wouldn't forgive the person who killed his family, not to mention that Tachibana also wanted to kill his only friend.

"Then drink my blood!!" Yukihime said, staring at Touta seriously. "You must drink my blood willingly. You will become an Immortal Monster, but you will gain the power needed to defeat that man."

"Immortal Monster..." Touta muttered as he stared at Yukihime's blood-covered lips. Without hesitation, he pressed his lips against hers, using his tongue to lick the blood off her lips.

"..." Yukihime's eyes widened in shock. She hadn't expected Touta to kiss her, let alone lick her lips to get her blood. Given her knowledge of Touta, she had expected him to lick the blood off the ground.

But despite her shock, Yukihime didn't resist, and she didn't seem to mind. She gently closed her eyes, savoring the faint warmth transferring from Touta's lips to hers.
