The news of the Heavenly Demon secretly infiltrating the Arakuro Clan's seat of power, Taketsu City, and killing one of its Mana Core Magi had spread like wildfire throughout the realm.
A wave of panic had spread across Taketsu City. After all, their enemy had managed to infiltrate into the very heart of their territory and silently taken out Lady Chiyo, who was a pillar of moral support for the clan.
Moreover, the brutal way in which she had been murdered caused all the Magi and even the mortal residents to feel terror seep into their bones.
They couldn't help but wonder…
How was it that the Heavenly Demon was able to sneak into their home and kill a high-ranking clan member?
How was it that neither the Patriarch nor the other Elders of the clan were able to do anything about it?
Ever since that gruesome day when it was found out that Lady Chiyo had been murdered inside her very home, security had been heightened in Taketsu City.
