Shikari Gakure and Gakushin Gakure appeared to have been separated once again. Shikari at this time was in a strange world, seeing floating islands above him and in the distance. He realizes that he's also on an island after looking down on the ground seeing that he is moving forward with it.

He then glanced into the distance in the sky seeing that he was in a four-dimensional world, he could see himself in the sky and the same island he was on making him mesmerized and see something he had never seen before.

On the other hand, Gakushin was stuck with Kiyoroshi and with the unknown woman who teleported Shikari to the unknown dimension. She started giggling as Kiyoroshi grabbed something out of his pocket and handed it over to her. It was a scroll, she smiled brightly as she unrolled it and read what was inside.

"Gakushin Gakure, let me tell you what really the mission is all about from Shimodo Rou himself. But let me tell you first that I've changed the real mission, the special

    "What do you think the world brought you... Peace? Harmony? Hope? Joy? A life that gives opportunities for you to explore? No... No... They gave you burdens, responsibilities that hinder you from searching for who you are, and hindrance to discovering your true self. Have you seen the academies? What good they've done to these children? Since when we're capable of learning all subjects, perfecting them, mastering them, and being excellent in them?

    Riyoshu Warakure slowly opened his eyes, feeling heaviness around his body and the eerie atmosphere. He saw the sky making him slowly stand while blood dripped on the side of his forehead. He sighed as he scratched his head and took a glance around.His eyes widened in terror. Flames were scattered across the floor and countless Shira assassins were scattered on the floor. A sweat dripped on the side of his forehead as he glanced seeing sudden thunder strike in the far distance outside the village."What the hell just happened? I slept and this is what happened?" He angrily thought. He walked down the rubble as he wiped the blood dripping from the side of his mouth. He resheathed his sword on his left waist. He was about to fly upward and head to the fight when suddenly, an unknown appeared in front of him.He sighed as he sat down while an unknown blocked his way. He cleared his throat as the unknown in front of him smiled behind the fox mask. He was wearing a hood and a dark cloak.

That's very long, I wonder if Shikari is interested in reading on this one. Oh, well, might as well check it out," Monoke Gakure said in a cheerful voice when, all of a sudden, he froze when he heard a thud to his right that made him glance. Every footstep of the unknown made him shiver. His presence and himself became solemn while turning his head to his right to see who it was. Suddenly, the unknown stopped approaching him and tilted its head menacingly staring deep into his soul. "You know a man named Shikari? Hmm? It seems you're on good terms with him, may I know who you are?" The unknown asked menacingly showing an intense and mysterious atmosphere in the air that Monoke didn't anticipate. "Who the hell is this person? Wait, is he even a person? That presence! That presence! That's a Deity?! Oh, this is trouble, how did he even get in here?!"

    Frostwyn reaches for the red gem with his left hand. As soon as he gripped it, it began glowing on top of his palm, and dark energy with red energy began flowing to his palm, which he found relaxing. Suddenly, Shikari grabbed the crystal out of his hand and threw it to the ground, creating massive cracks where it landed. "Dark energy... It flowed inside me. I was about to destroy it," Frostwyn said, closing his left hand. He closed his eyes as he felt energy traveling all around his body. "We could use this thing for something specific. Destroying it would be considered a waste. This is the red gem we're talking about, Frostwyn. It's destructive power and its source of energy are enough to make a human unbeatable in a battle," Shikari said while staring at the ground and looking at the red gem that stopped glowing. Suddenly, he started to hear Kiyoroshi grunting. It made him turn around to see blood dripping in the corner of his mouth. "Haha, I'm no longer in my prime. But I think I

I've never been to such," Gakushin murmured, amazed at what he was seeing with his eyes. "Where are we, Ryujiro?" Shikari asked as if demanding an immediate answer. "We are in a world called soul. I don't remember the exact name, but we are here for a reason. It is not me who locked them, and it is my former superiors," Ryujiro answered as Shikari and Gakushin glanced at each other, puzzled."Not you who locked them up... But your former superiors? Who were they, I wonder?" Gakushin asked as he smiled, he wanted to joke around, but he felt the sudden pressure that made him solemn."We can't joke around here, it seems, Gakushin.

His face was filled with horror and shocked as the two other unknown heads came by his side to look and see the horrifying horror that they were currently witnessing.

They scattered across the destroyed village, looking for prey, but the village appeared empty and had lost its nutrients for a very long time.At the heart of the capital of the long gone North Wind. The seven deities stood menacingly waiting for their Lord while hearing the heavy thuds of wolves' feet everywhere. Their presence alone made the tension in the air heavy and made the snow melt into water. It was somehow peaceful that they hadn't felt before.

    Shimodo Rou sat on a chair in front of his desk while signing papers with his pen. He had his eyeglasses on as he signed each and one of them carefully. He cleared his throat as he paused for a moment to turn his head to his right, looking out the window. He was signing a pack of papers till his mood was shattered when he heard a knock on the door. He glanced at it and saw the General of the Fifth Army walking in with a solemn face, holding an envelope. He reaches Shimodo Rou's desk and sat on a chair at the other side, placing the envelope in front of him."Kenki and Katsuki haven't sent us any reports. Are you still hoping that bird could find them and even if it did, what did you put in it?" Asked the General with curiosity in his face as Rou picked up the envelope and opened it. "Sending them straight to the battlefield. What else do you think, General? It's only a matter of time before they attack us, and we are not prepared for it," Shimodo Rou said with a heavy weight on his
