Two warriors, each having severed ties with their own kind, were locked in an intense battle. On the ground, in the air, sometimes with brute force, and sometimes with technique, they clashed tirelessly. With each collision, a massive wave of Kei erupted, causing the very air to wail. Piercing sounds filled their ears. Scorching heat…
As the name of the Anima, a mythical creature called Kyuuki, escaped Doga’s lips, his body began to transform rapidly. His muscular frame remained, but black, gold, and white beast fur began to cover the Kijin’s skin in a striped pattern. His wide-open eyes shone like topaz, glowing brilliantly, and from his cheeks emerged fangs…
With a resolute stance as unshakable as the castle walls, the gallant warrior’s valor seemed to clear the surrounding atmosphere. The fierce look in his eyes, filled with vehement determination, conveyed his intent to crush the enemies that stood in his way, without uttering a word. A feeling of pressure as though being pricked by…
The moment Sora unsheathed his Soul equipment, Ursula was exposed to an intense and overpowering pressure. The feeling was more intense than having lead placed on both shoulders. It was as though an invisible colossal hammer had shattered her entire body. The impact was tremendous. Her head crushed, her body compressed, her own blood splattered…
The Nakayama army was positioned on a small hill to the east of the fortress. The distance was quite significant, and rather than seeming like they had mounted a full-fledged assault, they appeared to be monitoring the movements of the fortress. Yet there was no lack of vigor in the movements of the Kijin. The…
A grand torii gate, vividly painted in bright vermilion. That was the appearance of the Demon Gate which the Mitsurugi family had protected for three hundred years. The moment the Demon Gate came into view, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t deeply moved. The younger me overcame the trial ceremony to become a…
Upon hearing Hakuro’s concerns, Doga crossed his arms and growled deeply. “Mount Ganzan and the gatekeepers, huh? I would like to say it’s impossible, but I can’t be sure what a desperate person might do. It’s not impossible that they would ally with those scoundrels out of sheer hatred for Nakayama.” “But, Brother Hakuro, how…
Some of the Mount Ganzan soldiers who had surrendered to Nakayama raised the banner of rebellion, with the orphaned child of the deceased King Gien as their figurehead. Upon hearing this news from Hakuro, Doga cocked his head in surprise. “You said ‘orphaned child’ just now? The male children of King Gien should have all…
The appearance of King Azuma of Nakayama is ordinary compared to his three brothers. He does not possess the overwhelming aura that Dogu has, commanding legions of troops, nor does he give off the impression of remarkable acuity like Hakuro. Furthermore, unlike Kagari, he does not project an indomitable spirit that faces any adversity head-on.…
This happened a little before Sora, Claira, and Ursula entered the Demon Gate. The vast desert that spread inside the Demon Gate was called the Kikai by the Kijin tribe who lived in this land. The Kikai was vast, but most of it was a barren wasteland, and the area where the Kijin could live…
