Frank was about to reveal the truth to the Vampires, but not without the aid of Kaguya at his side. With her presence and authority, and his words and details, the two explained that Frank was the Source, a special individual chosen by the world to save it from its end.

He explained that he had been chase down by the Chaos Gate, which is an ultra-secret super organization that desires to conquer the world or something even more terrible, and they had been going around the world destroying whole clans, and even being capable of killing Gods themselves and assimilate their power.

Kaguya explained to Clementine that even as a Goddess-level superhuman, she wasn't suddenly sage from them.

And if they actually choose to target her for real, that not even her power might be enough.

After all, they had already killed several Gods before, and had continued doing so. While absorbing their clans and anything of value they held.

They had already conquered and killed around three Clans and descendants of Japanese Gods. And it was recently stated that they were able to capture and steal the power of Gods and use them for themselves.

And with Yuu's memories and Rosy's words, they also found out they held incredible power, and each of their normal members were nearing Demigod, if not Demigod already.

They were able to create strong homunculus using the blood of gods and even of sacred beasts, such as archdemons!

And to boot, they had the plan of continuously attacking Tokyo and quite possibly take it all down, with Frank being their biggest prize.

"And that's why… to save Tokyo and protect it from them, I proposed this alliance. If we all work together, there might be a chance where we can defeat them." Said Frank, the rest of the Vampires were left speechless after hearing this, even Harumi was left with her mouth wide open.

"Frank… Is this all real?!" asked Harumi.

"Yes, it is… The Monk Clan recently got plotted against by the Chaos Gate and they were manipulating the Oni Clan into killing them. We ultimately found their mole and killed it, only to find three more of their agents later on, each one of them was demigod-level, with the one that tried to get into my house nearing this rank." Said Frank.

He impacted the Vampire Demigods with his words, as they all were left speechless.

Was he saying the truth?!

"I can confirm everything he had said, and I had said as the purest truth. And if not, you're all allowed to slaughter me right in this instant." Said Kaguya.

The Vampires opened their eyes wide, and even Clementine.

"Calm down, Kaguya. We know you're not a woman that tell lies. You're honestly a lovable and honest woman… I know it because you're a good mother too. I believe you." Said Clementine.

"And… I believe Frank as well." Said Clementine.

The Vampires remained in silence as they looked at the scene, most of them didn't really knew what to say.

They looked at Frank with surprise, and then at Kaguya. Some had tried to argue but were shut up by Clementina's deadly glare.

"But even with us and the Werewolves working together, do we even stand a chance? They're a gigantic organization with countless Demigods, right? If they go all out against us… there's simply no hope." Said Clementine.

Everyone fell silent once more.

"I want to believe there's hope. I want to. And I will help you all grow stronger to prepare all of you for the eventual meeting with all of them. We'll grow so strong they won't even know what hit them before they're all knocked out." Said Frank.

"You can help us grow stronger? But how?" asked Clementine.

"After making an agreement I can show you." Said Frank.

Clementine squinted her eyes as she looked at Frank with a challenging smile.

"Fine, but before you agree with a request." She said.

"What is it?"

"Frank, I believe your words and those of Kaguya. And if this is as dangerous as it is., I approve of helping you with what we can… However, I want to see how far goes your willpower, and physical strength. To be a leader is to be stronger than anyone you lead. In a world where the strong devours the weak, to command others you require the power to do so. I wan tot see your power. I want to see how far you can go. And your companions too. You'll bring five of you, and I will bring five of me, including me. I want you to select them carefully and make them fight my vampires. And at the end, we'll fight against one another and see who can stay on top. I will only agree to this if you can show me how strong you are. I don't necessarily want you to defeat me but… I want to measure your power, and see how strong you truly can become. Do you agree?" asked Clementine.

Frank was left surprised. He didn't expected that things would suddenly become a tournament arc now…

"Five including me, right?" asked Frank.

"Indeed, so you have to pick four." Said Clementine.

"Very well. I accept." Said Frank.

Clementine smiled happily, her eyes flashed with bright crimson-red.

"Good. Don't regret this later, young man." She said.

"F-Frank… You're really going to fight?" asked Kaguya in surprise.

"Indeed, I will pick you." Said Frank.

"W-What?!" asked Kaguya.

"And Sadako too." Said Frank.

"Eh? Me?" asked Sadako.

"You two NEED to fight. You represent your own clans. I also want to see how far you can go." Said Frank.

"Fine… But don't go overboard thinking I can do a lot because I can't." said Kaguya.

"Why not? Aren't you the granddaughter of Amaterasu?" asked Frank.

"That's right, but… it has been a long time since I have trained my magic power. Even less used it while fighting! I-I don't know I could…" muttered Kaguya.

"Kaguya what's wrong with you? Weren't you all mighty and brave before?" asked Gwendolyn.

"I… You're right… I shouldn't act like this… I will do it… I don't care anymore." Said Kaguya.
