At first, everyone thought that these children were captured by the Shitōshin in order to increase the population on the island, but slowly, they began to disappear, and recently, they have been disappearing at a rate of hundreds every day, nowhere to be seen. This made her realize that the Shitōshin had brought them in, not for the development of the island as they said.
Seeing the number of children gradually decreasing every day, she had a bad premonition in her mind. These children are related to the seal.
She once heard something about Kanade, who sealed the power of the Shitōshin at the cost of her life. Although she didn't know why the God of War wanted their half-demon to choose someone as a sacrifice every time, Asagi had made up her mind that she wanted to protect her sister. Never let her sister become a sacrifice, no matter what the price is.
But thinking that she might be burned alive in the near future, Asagi couldn't help showing a hint of despair in her eyes at this moment. She could only put her hands together, praying that that day would come later. And who can save us?
Thinking of this, Asagi couldn't help showing a wry smile. For so many years, she could only watch helplessly as the population on the island died one after another, but Asagi could do nothing to help them. Everyone is used to living in despair. Even the most optimistic person has gradually become taciturn. On this isolated island, who can save them?
"What happened?" Suddenly, the ground shook violently, and Asagi, who had just closed her eyes to prepare for a rest, was suddenly awakened.
She raised her head subconsciously and immediately saw the dazzling flames in the distance, almost illuminating half of the night sky.
Time rewinds to a few minutes ago. Kikyō and Tsubaki, on the other side of Hōrai Island, are walking in the forest.
"The island looks like it has signs of other people's activity." Kikyō looked around vigilantly and said that she held the positioning tool Sebastian gave them in her hand, so that they would not get lost in the endless forest.
At this moment, a strange figure suddenly appeared in front of them. He held a strangely shaped hand cannon in his hand, with a malicious smile on his face.
"Be careful, this person comes with no kindness!" Tsubaki felt the strong murderous intent from the opponent, immediately stopped Kikyō behind her, and looked at the man in front of her warily.
Although the two girls often confront each other in normal times, they actually care about each other.
The person in front of them suddenly picked up a weapon and fired at Tsubaki. At that moment, a burst of light flashed, and another person appeared in front of Kikyō. Sebastian!
"Brother, why are you here?!" Kikyō looked at Sebastian, who stood in front of her, in surprise. She walked to Sebastian's side, and, feeling the murderous intent as he looked at the silver-haired man opposite, a calm smile appeared on her face.
"This guy attacked you?" Sebastian stood where he was, with a relaxed smile on his face.
He has positioning devices on both Kikyō and Tsubaki, so no matter where they are, Sebastian can know their location and can teleport to their side in an instant. So Sebastian boldly let the two of them act first, and also wanted to take this opportunity to train the two again.
However, Sebastian sensed that the trajectories of the two were abnormal, so while carrying Ayame, he immediately activated the Portable Chronoshift Device. Then he appeared in front of the two of them.
As soon as he brought Ayame over, Sebastian encountered a mysterious person who attacked Kikyō and Tsubaki. He narrowed his eyes slightly and, at a glance, saw that the other party was the most belligerent among the Shitōshin.
Looking at Jūra, who was punched and sent flying by him but stood up again, Sebastian showed a trace of coldness on his face.
"You three wait for me here for a bit. It won't be long." After settling Kikyō, Tsubaki, and Ayame, Sebastian slowly turned around and walked toward Jūra.
"Yo, there are quite a lot of people. Jūra, it's unbelievable that you were beaten like this." A ray of crimson light streaked across the pitch-black sky and finally turned into a crimson figure of a handsome man. Although he is a man, his appearance is no different from that of a woman. He is Kyōra, who rushed over.
Seeing Jūra covered in scars, Kyōra couldn't help laughing, "It seems that over the years, Jūra, you have weakened."
"Don't talk nonsense, the guy is not weak!" Being ridiculed by Kyōra, Jūra clenched the weapon in his hand and pointed in the direction of Sebastian. There was fear and tension in his eyes.
Just now, Sebastian suddenly emerged from mid-air, and with just a simple punch, Jūra was sent flying dozens of meters away, and many trees were broken in the middle. So even Jūra, who has always been grumpy, couldn't help becoming cautious while looking at Sebastian. The fear in his eyes was obvious.
"This guy's ability... is very weird." Jūra couldn't understand what method Sebastian used just now to teleport to him in an instant. And what's with that power? Jūra could clearly feel that Sebastian didn't use all his strength.
"Oh, then I'd like to see what he's capable of." Feeling the intense tension in Jūra's tone, Kyōra couldn't help but show a curious smile. This was the first time he saw Jūra so cautious, so he found it very interesting.
After staying in the seal for fifty years, it's not just the grumpy Jūra who can't bear such a boring life. The same is true for Kyōra, who is good at strategy. Losing his strength and being trapped on the island made him also desire to fight. Only fighting could relieve the emotion accumulated for decades.
Before Jūra could say anything, Kyōra rushed toward Sebastian. He tapped his toes lightly, and the weight of his body almost disappeared. At the same time, the fire in his hand shone, covered with raging flames, and he emerged and flew toward Sebastian.
The mythical beast flapped its wings in the air. With each flap, the surrounding air twisted and burned, and a scorching hell whirlwind emerged around it. The blast instantly bent the surrounding trees. The original green trees were completely dehydrated in a short period of time, then turned yellow and decayed, and finally became dry wood that burned up.
