Nagato Kagutsuchi: The Dawn
Ch. 134 - Burning of Cape Missique
Passing the path, passing through the village connected by a suspension bridge. Hyogoro's grandfather chose the fastest route to arrive at the Fuyumi Clan Residence, two days had passed since leaving the Cakrawyuha Forest.
Hyogoro's grandfather did not expect the three of them to be any faster than he had expected to arrive at the Fuyumi Clan Residence. During a full day of running non-stop, the three of them finally arrived at a village that was so deserted by its inhabitants.
Hyogoro's grandfather could see the villagers had moved settlements, considering that along the way to the village so many plantations were exposed to insect pests. Hyogoro's grandfather assumed that the number of locusts that were unnatural when along the plantation close to the village had made the plantation into a crop failure. Villagers who have relatives in other cities or villages, they immediately go from their old village.
Nagato and Litha were also aware of what Grandpa Hyogoro was thinking, but still Nagato and Litha still did not expect to see so many locusts.
Ever since Litha was honest about her feelings for Nagato, the two of them kept a little distance since they were both still embarrassed to act as usual.
Nagato still did not expect that if Litha liked him, his nature that was not easily understood by one's feelings made Nagato still difficult to accept. Seeing Litha alone had made him confused as to what kind of behavior Nagato was aware of at the moment, he only wanted to protect Litha. Growing up and living together, Nagato had never seen Litha share her hatred for Nagato, a woman who laughs and cries at Nagato so much as she loves peace.
Nagato thought that the peace in this world was only a false peace, seeing Litha who had a dream made Nagato join his heart. His feelings of vengeance slowly faded and began to dissipate but the gaping hatred in him was too great that it could not disappear completely.
Litha smiled sweetly looking at Nagato who was staring at him from a distance, her hands waving at the figure of the young man she loved. Litha's eyes were always watching Nagato's every move, Nagato's fondness and hatred, all the things Nagato told him, of course Litha knew all that well. Nagato was a mysterious young man figure in Litha's eyes, as she told him a story. Nagato always left behind a few words that made Litha curious, her sharp eyes and cold nature made Litha want to melt them.
Nagato was the first love for Litha, a young man who always looked strong but fragile at the same time it made Litha unable to leave her alone. Actually Litha was aware of Asha's feelings towards her, it was just that Litha's heart was only for Nagato.
"Litha, hi? Why are you daydreaming?" Nagato shook his hand before Litha's eyes.
Litha gasped in shock at daydreaming at Nagato, "Na-Na-Nagato..." Litha's reflexes pushed Nagato's body.
"Let's continue the journey, the rest is enough" Nagato said standing with his hands touching the ground.
Litha deliberately acted spoiled in front of Nagato, her hand coding Nagato to help her stand up. Nagato's hand greeted Litha's hand and the two stared at each other for a few seconds before Grandpa Hyogoro startled the two of them.
"Let's go." take Grandpa Hyogoro to Nagato and Litha, without waiting any longer the two of them continue on the journey.
Nagato and Litha glanced at each other before they both chuckled. Grandpa Hyogoro smiled looking at the two students.

Meanwhile, in an area close to Ryushimau Island, an island that became the entrance of the Ezzo Continent because it borders directly with the Dawn Canal. A large and luxurious ship with advanced ship engines was on its way to the Azbec Magic Kingdom.
The magnificent ship was carrying the Nobles of Bahamut named Baha Jellikoth. The thirty-year-old man with green hair was accompanied by two Exequtor members who came directly from the Bahamut Empire. The two members of Ezequtor were named Nightscream and Xerross.
Nightscream was a burly man with his body filled with burns and had a sharp gaze. Nightscream was a user of the Rare-Type Ancient Weapon: The Night Dark Sword. Nightscream was used to killing so that was the reason the Commander of the Four Corners of the Bahamut Empire sent the man to the Ezzo Continent.
Next to Nightscream stood a man with a pretty handsome face and gray hair named Xerross, the same as Nightscream of course Xerross was not a random person. Xerross is a Type Kembangan Holy Water User: Fog.
With the discovery of the Type Kembangan Holy Water type makes many people who want to have this power. People in the colonies have rebelled, most of them forming their own organizational groups to survive in this cruel and cruel world.
To welcome the arrival of the Nobles of Bahamut and Exequtor, Black Madia who became the figure of the supreme leader of the Azbec Magic Kingdom was telling seven witches who worked as his subordinates to earth the loss of Cape Missique.
Cape Missique is so close to the ocean and Ryushima Island. Cape Missique is home to the exiles of the Azbec Magic Kingdom. The Black Madia government was very different - different castes, food vendors and others had to work as subordinates. The rich merchants also had no more income because they worked as subordinates of Black Madia.
Food and drink, all overseen by Black Madia and the Disaster Organization. The settlement of Cape Missique was also a place of escape from rich merchants who fell into poverty even among the residents who lived there there were former nobles who had refused Black Madia to become the new King of Magic Azbec.
On the way to Cape Missique are seven witches working under Black Madia. The seven of them, commonly referred to as Hell Shadow, Black Madia formed a Hell Shadow group to kill anyone who rebelled against her.
The loss of news and not the return of Green Vas make Black Madia continue to make a movement to recruit talented witches who fill the vacancy of Hell Shadow's chair. A few days later, Black Madia finds a replacement for Green Vas who is a female witch named Eyes. All the members of Hell Shadow had agreed to consider Green Vas dead.
The most shocked Black Fang after a few days Green Vas did not return from the Me region, Kai Empire. In his mind still remembered the face of Nagato who regarded Asha as his sister.
Arriving at the settlement of the residents of Cape Missique, all members of Hell Shadow release their magic from the top of the hill. The seven members of the witch Hell Shadow have different magic powers, one of them used fire magic and the other used wind magic to make the fire spread faster to the settlements.
The residents of Cape Missique were shocked to see the arrival of Hell Shadow who intended to slaughter them. Thousands of people ran towards the coast and sea to escape, hundreds of people burned to death alive because of the blaze that devoured everything and even burned humans easily.
The faces of the seven people who slaughtered hundreds of innocent people showed absolutely no guilt or mercy. Wide Seyuman smirked on the faces of the seven members of Hell Shadow.
Bodies burned alive - life clearly emblazoned on the streets of Cape Missique. Bodies - corpses scattered, and cries all echoed in Cape Missique.
The dead stared at all the members of Hell Shadow full of hatred, all the victims of the massacre hope that one day there will be people who retaliate for the heinous deeds of Black Madia and Hell Shadow.
Black Fang laughed out loud before telling his friends to stop using their magic power.
"Enough! No one had survived because of this attack! The commoners have all died!" black Fang shouted at his six friends who were still slaughtering innocent residents.
The other Hell Shadow members stopped attacking the settlements of the Cape Missique population. The fire destroyed the homes of the people. The dark black night turned bright orange because of the fire that scorched Cape Missique.
After being sure no one lives in Cape Missique. All the members of Hell Shadow went back to Black Madia to report on their work.
Hot fires also include the reason Hell Shadow members do not want to linger long in Cape Missique because the very thin air makes them short of breath.
This massacre incident will be connected to the future Bahamut War. The Revolutionary organization will play a role in Nagato's rescue during the execution.
