Arakuro Clan, Taketsu City
Within the clan's palace, an important meeting was being held.
Just a few moments ago, the upper echelons of the clan had learned that Mashiro's group, which had been dispatched to take care of the murderer, had perished.
Fifteen Mana Vortex Magi were sent. Fourteen of them had died, as confirmed by their Soulmark Lanterns. There was only one survivor, but the clan did not know about this man's current status.
"This is war!"
"This heinous demon has already killed twenty-three of our Elders!"
"Whoever this is, they are going to pay for it!"
"Patriarch, give us the order!"
"We'll follow this man to the end of this world if we have to!"
"Yes, Patriarch! Thanks to the Soulmark Lanterns, we already know he's headed west!"
"Please, give us the order!"
