Meanwhile, Yuki finds an ancient vampire known as Saburo, the self-appointed guardian of the hidden ruins beneath Mt. Fuji and the bearer of a blood-red gem that quenches the thirst of any vampire near it the Akamitama. As Mina seeks to reunite long-lost lovers, she must recover the treasure so desperately sought by Telomere’s leader and her own doppleganger before it’s too late.
With two fragments of the Akamitama in Mina’s hands, the hunt continues to find the remaining pieces of the relic gem, imbued with legendary properties that can allow even a vampire to live on without feeding.
