[Rias: "if we can find the legendary Meido Stone, we can directly open a path to the Underworld."]
[Rias: "But... the Meido Stone... it hasn't been seen for a very long time."]
"The Meido Stone?" Lynn muttered as he stared at the message on his phone, sent by Rias. His mind started working.
The Meido Stone, huh...
It might not exist in modern times, but it definitely existed in ancient times.
And conveniently, he knew exactly where to find one.

Western Lands
The battlefield between the Inu-yokai Clan and the Leopard Cat Clan was soaked in blood and violence. The golden sands were painted red with bloodbath.
"You damn dogs! Today, I'll show you the true might of the Leopard Clan!"
Boom!
The war raged on, fists and claws tearing through flesh. The Leopard-yokai fought like crazed beasts, their faces twisted in frenzy as they tore through their foes.
Their massive bodies rampaged across the battlefield, but the Inu-yokai were not about to back down. One by one, they revealed their true forms, engaging in a brutal battle to the death.
Pain, screams, excitement—emotions flared like wildfire.
---
At the rear of the Inu-yokai army, a small figure stood amidst the towering demon forms. Hidden in their shadows, he was nearly unnoticeable.
His silver hair cascaded down to his waist, shimmering under the light like liquid metal. Two crimson stripes adorned each of his cheeks, as if they were painted by flames. Yet, the most striking feature was the ice-blue crescent moon on his forehead.
"Sesshomaru-sama! The Leopard Clan is at its breaking point!"
"With you leading us, the Western Lands will only have one ruler!"
Sesshoumaru listened
to the sycophantic praise with a face of utter indifference.
His golden eyes swept over the battlefield, unimpressed.
The Leopard Cats... were nothing special.
He had no interest in the weak. He simply observed.
---
"The chief! The chief is joining the fight!"
"Hah! You dog bastards better prepare to die! Our leader will tear you to shreds!"
The battlefield trembled.
A massive shadow descended from the sky. A colossal Leopard-yokai, over dozens of meters tall, landed with a thunderous crash!
Boom!
"ROOOAAARRR!"
The beast's blood-red eyes gleamed with malice as it swung its massive claws, instantly tearing dozens of Inu-youkai to shreds!
"Oh?" Sesshoumaru's golden eyes flickered.
"Finally, a worthy opponent."
In an instant, he vanished.
And the next moment—
He was standing atop the Leopard Chief's head.
A terrifying aura erupted from him as he struck downward without hesitation.
BANG!
The Leopard Chief's skull caved in from the impact. Its eyes bulged out, nearly popping from its sockets.
"It's Sesshomaru-sama!"
"Sesshomaru-sama has entered the fight!"
The Inu-Yokai erupted in excitement at the sight of their leader in action.
"It's him again…!"
The Leopard-Yokai shuddered, fear gripping their hearts.
Over the past few years, Sesshomaru had slaughtered too many of them.
He was a monster.
"Damn brat!" The Leopard Chief snarled, his pride wounded.
"When I was battling your father, you weren't even born yet!"
"HAAAH!"
With a furious howl, deep blue flames erupted around him.
Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes. Not underestimating his foe, he immediately leaped into the air.
The Leopard Chief, wreathed in yokai fire, shot upward, charging straight at him.
Sesshoumaru revealed his true form.
BOOM!
Two colossal demons clashed, sending shockwaves through the air!
The sheer force of their collision sent lesser demons flying!
The battle raged fiercely.
And Suddenly—
BOOOOOOOM!
Like a falling meteor, a shadow wreathed in black flames crashed into the battlefield with terrifying force!
The impact created a massive crater, swallowing the surrounding sands. The shockwave alone crushed countless demons, their blood soaking into the desert.
Sesshoumaru's pupils shrank.
His massive Inu-Yokai form was sent flying backward, smashing into the ground.
Even the Leopard Cat Chief wasn't spared—he plummeted from the sky, and crashed into the ground, dazed.
The Leopard Chief spat out a mouthful of sand, his expression dark and uncertain as he stared at the center of impact.
Sesshomaru, having reverted to his humanoid form, narrowed his golden eyes coldly.
As the dust settled, a black-haired, red-eyed figure emerged.
Lynn.
he smiled politely. "Excuse me, but could someone tell me where Sesshomaru's mother is?"
He had originally planned to search the area for clues, but upon spotting the Inu-Yokai, he decided to make a direct entrance.
Looking for my mother?
Sesshomaru's brow furrowed slightly.
"Hah?! So, you're that bitch's plaything?!"
The Leopard Chief sneered, baring his fangs. "You dare interfere in my battle? I'll kill you!"
Appearing before Lynn in the blink of an eye, his razor-sharp claws slashed toward him!
Lynn glanced at him indifferently and sighed. "Man, the local demons here sure aren't very friendly."
BOOM!!
The Leopard Cat chief's massive body twisted and contorted before exploding into a rain of flesh and blood!
Crimson droplets painted the sky.
Sesshoumaru's pupils shrank in shock.
What… was that?!
He hadn't even seen the attack.
"C-Chief?!"
The Leopard-Yokai stared in horror.
Their leader… had been reduced to nothing but chunks of meat in the blink of an eye.
They were doomed.
Their tribe was finished.
"Now then, can someone kindly tell me where Sesshomaru's mother is?"
Lynn flashed what he thought was a friendly smile.
But in the eyes of the others, it was like the devil himself was grinning at them right before their demise.
Dead silence.
Seeing no response, Lynn lost interest and clicked his tongue.
Then, his crimson eyes shifted toward Sesshōmaru.
Sesshōmaru's body tensed instinctively.
It was pure instinct!
His body... was reacting in fear?!
For the first time, alarm bells rang in his mind.
A faint sweat formed on his palms, and he subconsciously reached for his sword, seeking a sense of security—
But his sword was gone?
A flicker of shock passed through Sesshōmaru's golden eyes.
Then, he saw Lynn idly toying with a blade.
His Tenseiga?!
Sesshōmaru: "..."
"So, this is the Tenseiga?"
Lynn gave it a casual swing, and the soul-reaping underworld messengers scattered across the battlefield were instantly cut down.
The fallen demons who had already lost their lives blinked in confusion as their souls returned to their bodies, reviving them.
However, only those whose corpses remained intact stood up again.
"Interesting..."
Lynn chuckled.
If this world didn't have an established underworld system, then wielding this sword could disrupt the balance, couldn't it?
Right now, the underworld should be in chaos, which was the only reason a weapon like the Tenseiga could slip through the cracks.
Since he had it now, there was no reason to give it back.
Might as well bring it back to his Familia for research.
Who knows? Maybe they could develop something interesting out of it.
Lynn's gaze shifted past Sesshōmaru, and he let out a small laugh.
"Well, that was fast."
A woman appeared, her expression as cool and distant as the moonlight.
Her silver hair cascaded down to her ankles, shimmering like stardust.
A deep violet crescent moon adorned her forehead, emitting an eerie, ethereal glow, while two crimson markings beneath her eyes gave her an air of otherworldly elegance.
Her soft lips parted, her voice as cold as the night wind, laced with undeniable authority.
"To what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?"
"I need to borrow the Meido Stone." Lynn got straight to the point.
"Aunt, don't give it to him!" Sesshōmaru shouted, only for Lynn to kick him away.
Lynn smirked. "Huh, from my info, I thought you were his mother. But you really look way too young for that."
Senhime didn’t respond. She simply studied him for a moment before unfastening the deep blue crystal from around her neck.
Without hesitation, she tossed it to Lynn.
Sesshōmaru's lips twitched as if he wanted to say something, but a single glance from Senhime silenced him.
This man... was not someone the Inu Youkai could afford to provoke.
It was wiser to step back.
Besides, she had questions of her own.
The violet crescent moon on her forehead gleamed faintly as she spoke again, her voice carrying an icy weight.
"You are not of this era, are you?"
"Oh?"
Lynn raised an eyebrow in mild surprise, then let his gaze fall to the crescent mark on her forehead.
"You're right." He didn't bother hiding it.
Senhime's golden eyes flickered. "Since I have given you the Meido Stone, may I ask you something in return?"
"Sure."
Lynn agreed without hesitation.
"In the future, does the Western Lands of the Inu Youkai still exist?"
Lynn's smile was warm.
"Never heard of it."
Senhime's expression stiffened, and she fell into silence.
The Inu Youkai of the Western Lands...
Extinct?
She massaged her temples, an uncharacteristic frown gracing her elegant features.
As the princess of the Western Lands, the survival of their bloodline was her responsibility.
Lynn, meanwhile, observed her with interest.
His Familia skill, Devil's Piece, was glowing faintly.
This woman...
She would make a fine addition.
A powerful Yokai like her—if reincarnated as a Devil—would at least start as an Ultimate-Class Devil.
Now, how should he go about recruiting her?
Senhime remained silent for a moment before speaking again.
"Do you... have a way to transport people across time?"
A glint of intrigue flickered in Lynn's eyes.
"You want me to take the Inu Youkai into the future?"
"That's right."
Upon hearing that their kind no longer existed in the future, this was the solution she arrived at.
If their bloodline could spread across different points in time, the Inu Youkai would never truly go extinct.
But...
It all depended on the man standing before her.
Her golden eyes fixated on Lynn with intensity.
Lynn stroked his chin before breaking into a smile.
"Well, I could do that... but..."
He tilted his head slightly. "A mere Meido Stone isn't enough to cover the cost of such a request."
She took a deep breath. "Whatever you want—if the Inu Youkai possess it, you may name your price!"
At the very least, their clan was wealthy.
Lynn paused before giving her an amused smirk.
"Are you sure about that?"
Senhime's heart tightened.
Why did she suddenly... Have a bad feeling about this?
But...
For the sake of her clan's future—
Her cold golden eyes burned with determination as she gave a firm nod.
"I am certain!"
