Makoto's POV

From a safe distance, Makoto saw the train where Seiji and his daughter were entering Moscow. Despite the steel walls that were being built to protect the city, he could see the soldiers and citizens of the place walking around doing all sorts of things. They were preparing for battle...

"Good, Leon arrived on time and managed to cause the dungeon breaks."

It looked like Alexei contacted all groups of survivors nearby and emitted an alert, Makoto noticed that when he saw several groups of soldiers running toward Moscow coming from all directions. Some were also running alone, so he decided to do the same and enter the city.

The east gate of Moscow was wide open, and the guards weren't checking who was entering; all people were already aware of the dungeon breaks. So, obviously, only regular citizens and soldiers of the place were expected to arrive. Thanks to that, no one noticed that Makoto was Japanese.

Without wasting time, Makoto moved to the other side of the city, where the soldiers were reuniting and preparing themselves for the battle. Soon, he saw Alexei moving on the top of a car showing an extremely annoyed expression. Makoto felt his blood boiling, but somehow he calmed down his nerves. Makoto couldn't kill the bastard before discovering where his daughter was.

Soon, the battle started. Although Alexei wasn't a mighty soldier, he had some tactical knowledge, and he gave some orders when problems appeared. Makoto tried to stay close to him to overhear his conversations while he fought, but he didn't learn much. If the battle had lasted a little longer, perhaps things could have been different... but a kid that had impressive magic skills almost single-handily changed the tide of the battle.

When the battle ended, Alexei sent the kid and his team to investigate what had happened. Fortunately, he stayed nearby observing the battlefield and waiting for the kid's report... For the time being, Yuki was safe, but Makoto was getting tired of controlling his nerves.

Makoto made a call and asked Leon to keep doing that the moment the kid and his team left. Much faster than he had imagined, another alert of monsters invasion had been given.

"As expected, Leon sure is fast..."

That lightened Makoto's mood a little. Meanwhile, Alexei started to shout and attack his own subordinates. Things only got more complicated along the night. However, much to Makoto's surprise, Alexei looked pretty calm when he saw him the next day. Alexei was plotting something... but Makoto didn't notice that on time. Suddenly the crowd of soldiers opened a path for some reason, then Yuki and Seiji appeared. His daughter had a thick steel chain on her neck, and Seiji was pulling her as if she was some sort of dog. Makoto felt something snapping on his head... but he managed to avoid his impulse to rush and split Seiji in two. However, everything changed when Yuki was put on the truck where Alexei was. She looked at him as if he was a dirty dog, and thanks to that, he kicked her on the stomach, and her body bent backward, and then she spat blood. The next moment, Makoto summoned his sword and charged to attack Alexei, five soldiers had been fast enough to feel and reacted to Makoto's bloodlust, but they got split in half before they could even scratch him. However, when Makoto touched the truck, he got electrocuted until the point where smoke started to leave his body... after ten seconds he collapsed.

Makoto woke up receiving a heavy punch on his face, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Seiji in front of him with his fists clenched and Yuki on the other side what seemed like to be some sort of office. Alexei was there too... Makoto tried to move, but his body was heavy, and he couldn't muster all that much strength. It looked like while he was unconscious, they put some chains around his body, magical chains that could drain his energy.

"Father!" Yuki shouted, her eyes full of tears.

"Sorry, Yuki," Makoto said. "I failed... but I will leave everything on your hand."

"What exactly do you mean by that?" Seiji frowned.

"Ah... you," Makoto said, looking at Seiji in the eye, making him tremble just by being stared. "I meant exactly what you think... I leave Japan in her capable hands."

"What a fool... what can she do to Japan here?" Alexei asked. "Your country has no longer an imperial family; from today onward, Japan will become a Russian province."

"... I wanted to be here the moment you see your dreams being crushed by a single man." Makoto said. "I failed, but he won't fail, my daughter won't fail either. I can see in them the hope for a good future in this world... as for you two... I can see only two dead men walking... for a while."

"I think you are going to die first," Alexei said. "Prepare my throne on the other side; I will conquer everything, even the after-life."

"Are these your last words, Makoto?" Seiji picked Makoto's katana that was on the wall.

"... I guess I should die by the blade of my own weapon." Makoto let out a long sigh. "It is a pity that a coward and traitor will be the one who will swing the sword.

"Kill the bastard, Seiji!" Alexei shouted.

"With pleasure!" Seiji said.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Yuki shouted.

"Trust him, Yuki," Makoto smiled. "He will be a good friend."

With a smile on his face, Makoto's head rolled on the ground while his neck was gushing out blood. After that, the corpse of Makoto was taken to a platform in front of Alexei's tower. From his office, Alexei picked a strange weapon and pointed toward Makoto's body while forcing Yuki watching to see the total destruction of Makoto's body... when he pulled the trigger, Yuki collapsed unconscious.
