When they left the shrine, the sky was a deep red.

The Sagano Forest was burning in the middle of a soft rainfall.

The fire came from the battle between Ganzheit’s invading forces and the Moujuu. The ammunition and fuel leaking from the destroyed armored vehicles burned the forest’s vegetation. The effects of the battle had already reached Myoujiin territory. Unending cannon fire shook the earth, and the Moujuu’s howls ripped through the air, echoing all around.

The flames lit up the area like daylight, and the wind carried the nauseating smell of blood. Even Yahiro, with all his experience in battle, gasped at the disaster, which far exceeded his expectations.

“Ganzheit…! They broke through the barrier?”

“Yes, they’re inside the barrier… But something is wrong. They’re taking so many losses. Why would they run this risk…?!” Miyabi frowned in confusion, her eyes closed to read the flow of the wind.

Ganzheit had the overwhelming advantage after surrounding the Myoujiin territory with a big army. They could eventually break the illusory barrier if they kept advancing carefully. There was no need to hurry. But now they had lost their line of command and the troops were clearly in chaos. Now they fought a war of attrition, simply shooting the Moujuu before them without a plan.

“It’s the Moujuu…,” Iroha said with a trembling voice, glaring at the burning cityscape. “Ganzheit didn’t break through the barrier, the Moujuu attacked them… But why…?”

“The Moujuu? Either way, there are so many of them. How many Moujuu do you need to reduce Ganzheit’s huge army to this…?”

Then Yahiro gulped. He knew of another case of a big encirclement falling instantly under a Moujuu attack. It happened half a month ago in Yokohama. The Moujuu hadn’t appeared from the Ploutonion—they were born there from the enemy surrounding Galerie Berith’s Far East Branch.

“Yahiro! Giuli! Thank goodness you’re okay!”

Yahiro came back to his senses at the sound of a serious voice and a diesel engine. A familiar armored vehicle cut through the flames on the road. The transport was soaked in Moujuu blood and driven by the Galerie’s operators.

“Wei?! What’re you doing all the way out here?!”

“Forcing our way through, as you can see. Ganzheit’s forces are in shambles. They can’t do anything to us at this point.” Yang Wei ran up to them, out of breath and a light machine gun in his arms. “Just get in, quick. We have to leave this place. They’re turning into Moujuu.”

“Really?”

“Yes, it’s the same as what happened in Yokohama. Ganzheit’s operators are transforming. The mountain will be full of them soon.” Wei, always calm and composed, couldn’t hide his restlessness now.

“Was that really it? But why? I didn’t feel any dragon being summoned.” Yahiro looked at Iroha, looking for an answer.

The Moujuufication in Yokohama happened because Sui tried summoning Superbia, but there was no sign of a dragon near Myoujiin. There had to be another reason Ganzheit’s operators were turning Moujuu.

“Don’t tell me it’s because we grabbed this…” Iroha looked at the magatama in her hands with fear.
