The Cursed Bloodline
Attacking the Wrong People

Massacre Night. The night when the moon showed her blood red. Red Moon, a phenomenon in which the blood-red moon is seen as a witness, a tragic event that obliterated the three clans of the Sora nobility

Far from the village of Sora. There were three elite residential districts where the Three Esteemed Sora Clans settled. Sun, Moon and Snow

Unlike the atmosphere of the district where the people lived, today the atmosphere seemed very gripping

The sound of the wolf howling and the sound of the crow the bird of death were heard interlocking. There was silence in an elite housing estate. Who would have thought behind the silence of the night atmosphere, there were hundreds of bodies lying lifeless along the road

In one of those magnificent houses, a white-haired man stared at the young boy in front of him.

His bloodstained hand, trying to hold a sword that was now piercing in his stomach. The white ornate sword, nicknamed the legendary sword Shiroi no ken

"A- Daddy? " the boy said in disbelief, his little hands trembling violently. When the sword in his hand pierced inside the body in front of him

Trass.....

The boy quickly pulled out the sword in his hand, making a splash of blood hit a portrait of the moon and sun displayed beside him.

Blood started to come out of my father's mouth. The white-haired man with brownish-red eyes only blankly looked at the child in front of him. Slowly he closed his eyes, without saying a word his body collapsed with a wound that continued to stroke the blood

The boy could only tremble in fear, the hand that was still holding the sword was not yet blood he threw away in any place

...........

The heavy rain of chaff never stopped flushing the Devil forest. The black silhouette of a man sitting at the end of the highest roof of Tengu castle. Just staring at the sky and letting the rain sweep through his body, the man with a calm expression was named Xio, Leader Tengu.

Xio lowered his head as if welcoming the rain that drenched his handsome face. Eyes as dark as the night sky glared at the quiet overcast sky. His black robe was blown away by the night wind, waving to follow where the storm wind was accompanied by the roar of lightning

A flash of bitter past memories, as if mixed with the heavy rain that flushed his wounded body. A memory that makes him want to achieve one goal, which is Tengu's goal

The calm and mistrius face was now beginning to show a standby expression

"A mistake, you dare to come here! " rumbling

The test!

Xio disappeared in the shadow of the rain.

............

Taps...... Taps.... Taps.....

A flash of black shadow leaped through the Demon forest in the midst of an extremely heavy rain.

A group of masked men, with red cloud emblems on their armor robe, were stalking Tengu Castle behind the lush forest.

Cops consisting of 5 people led a black-robed captain complete with a death god mask. They were trying to infiltrate the middle of the majestic castle in front of him

Using only a hand gesture, the captain broke up the group to encircle the castle.

"Execute! " called the captain.

Tesss! Tesss!

They disappeared, heading for their respective besieging positions. The captain who was watching the state of the castle looked astonished.

"Surprisingly, for the size of a headquarters, this place was not even protected by any magic. Even a simple trap does not exist. This makes things even stranger" the captain muttered

With each sign in the direction of his men, the captain ordered his men to enter the castle. Checking all corners of the building to find the whereabouts of Tengu members

Silent and silent.

Only the sound of rain filled the silence of the place. The captain tried to check all the space inside the castle by giving a signal to his subordinates.

Some time later the men began to send signals in the form of a headband as a sign of nothing meaningful.

"Impossible, according to the information that we can not be mistaken this is the place" muttered the captain in astonishment

"May there be a captain error? "

When one of their men appeared, he reported that there was a basement on the east side of the castle. They also went straight to the abandoned place without knowing something was waiting for their arrival

Kreeee........

The sound of old hinges squeaking. The red cloud cops quietly entered the underground room where Tengu had gathered. A dark and humid place. There's nothing there. The room was silent and dark, only water droplets could be heard breaking the silence. Make the cluster of intruders increasingly wary of made

A black-robed man was sitting on a throne chair, droplets of water were even still falling from his robe. So calm with dark eyes that welcome the presence of Red Cops

The masked soldiers began to prepare for any risky attacks. They began to draw swords with the flow of green magic power through their gyoku.

Xio just looked flat at the whole array of warriors in front of him, he did not even flinch at the sight of a magic energy sword being unsheathed towards him

Not yet had the chance to take an attack, their bodies seemed to freeze. Quickly, Xio who had been sitting quietly far ahead of them, was now right between them.

He began to bring his body closer to one of the masked troops.

"Death! " rumble Xio

Suddenly the man froze with his iris as though drugged with Xio's words. Without a doubt he pierced his own body and finally collapsed with his own sword stuck in his stomach

"It seems that he instills illusions by manipulating people with his words, so that the person is under the influence and obeys his orders, without exception"

"If it's an illusory act, I'll try to disrupt the flow of my power so that I can escape from its entanglement"

He closed his eyes and scratched his hand with a sword. A pain can make a person aware of magic illusions

But it doesn't have any effect. Instantly the room turned into a place out of nowhere, all around it was black.

Lining! Lining!

The sound of bells filled the space in the middle of nowhere, the figure of Xio's black cloak in the form of a black shadow appeared

"You have entered my illusion! Here what I do in particular my words will be followed by your body! "

"B-ba-how could it be? I can't move or take off this illusion? " muttered the captain stammering.

The entire person was just frozen silently without being able to do anything, their body completely within Xio's grasp

" Any power can't take away my influence. Even a schist thief, has ethics when visiting someone's house! " say Xio

With a flat and cold expression, Xio held his hand up. The black light from his moon Gyoku was clearly visible

The hands of those holding swords began to be pointed at themselves. Xio just stood up not doing a meaningful move even, just holding his hand alone the influence of his magic was already felt by the Red Cops members

"Free! " say Xio coldly

Tras!

One by one the soldiers started to stick their own weapons. The captain could still hold his hand that wanted to pierce his stomach.

Uhuk..... Uhuk.....

Xio coughed, his condition had yet to fully recover from the blast incident back then, his body still losing a lot of energy. Using such great magic like this, it certainly made his condition even worse

Not wasting the opportunity, the captain started to jump and slash Xio's stomach.

"Feel this! "

Xio stood pecking, his stomach slashed through his body. The captain activated his magic, he was about to burn Xio's body with his fire magic. In that condition Xio instead smiled meaningfully, more precisely grinning

Bress!

His body suddenly turned into black smoke and disappeared

"I told you, in this place you're nothing more than a toy to me. How dare you enter my base" Xio's voice filled the place, but his figure was nowhere to be seen

"Now Die! " say the voice of Xio.

Apparently, from the moment they entered the room they had manipulated their minds through the sound of the door squealing

Xio had already instilled an illusionary style by manipulating sound. So that the prey is just silent sculpting and trapped in the world of his creation.

Whatever Xio did to the victim in his illusionary world, would be felt directly by the victim's body in the real world

Thus, in just a matter of seconds all the soldiers had collapsed. One second in the real world is like minutes, hours and even days in the world of illusion depending on the wishes of Xio himself.

The captain of the red cop can last all this time because Xio deliberately invites him to play, he adds the illusion as if the captain can move and slash it.

But with one word Xio made the captain feel slashed to death in the world of illusion, and certainly had a real impact in the real world.

Blood dripped from inside the captain's mask, and his body began to fall. By using that great power, it would be risky for Xio's injured body

Uhuk..... Uhuk.....

Xio started spewing blood, this meant that the limit of his strength was already drained enough. Xio began to notice his gyokunya which was beginning to weaken.

"If it's like this, even Mirai's memory seal will weaken" he murmured.

Xio was unaware of the soldier's corpse, a black rat appeared. The rat slipped out of the room and disappeared

.........

Inside the basement of the Cops headquarters were red clouds. Tanuki who was standing quietly seemed to be waiting for something important.

The black rat that was seen coming out of the captain's body crept into Tanuki's body and whispered something.

"What's? The power of thought manipulation? " tanyanya wonder.

The rat was a magic incarnation implanted in every member of the Red Cloud Cops army. The magic rat serves as a container of information if on a mission, troops cannot report because they are killed in duty.

So that whatever happens, the information obtained can still be known Tanuki.

"It turns out that power really exists in this world, even though that power was already a little in the show of Clan descent months before. But nothing has ever been this great" he concluded with a sly smile.

"You seem to have grown up Yora! " said Tanuki
