The Cursed Bloodline
Weak Seal

" You mean, you know something about the extermination incident?" Yora looked at Aora in disbelief

"I'm not saying I know everything. It's just, as long as I'm unconscious after our fight. I felt a strange energy fill my body. I don't know what kind of magic energy, which is obviously something terrible! "

Aora immediately took off the bandage wrapped around her chest. Yora's eyes were rounded when she saw that the wound on Aora's body was completely gone

" How is it possible? " he mumbled in disbelief.

Yora was astonished, even the wounds on her body could not heal that fast. Both he and Aora did not have regeneration magic within them. That means, a wound as severe as that is unlikely to heal quickly. Even with the help of Mirai's special blood, the wounds inflicted by Bakuro and Shiroi's swords are notoriously difficult to heal.

"Different from the dark seal Nue put on your body. The seal you planted when you fought with me, looks a little strange. I felt like the dark forces inside me were starting to pile up and could explode at any moment. However, I don't know where that strange power came from" Aora said in an anxious tone.

Yora also noticed that, the seal on Aora's chest was dark purple. He could feel the dark energy gathering there. Even the sun symbol that appeared was not so visible. Is it possible, the magic seal passed down by her mother directly to bind Nue's soul residing in the Three Pillars' body in Aora's body weakened?

"You're right. The seal on your body is much different from the seal on my body and Mirai. So what do you mean, the strange energy you feel filling your body has something to do with the deaths of those villagers? "

" I don't know. But I'm sure it has something to do with it. You said only Mirai could use that magic. Moreover, the magic is a power derived from Nue.“ Aora recalls a man named Kurasu, who inexplicably appears in her dream

" Mr Aora and Yora, I'm sorry to be in your conversation. But let me explain your curiosity. Maybe a little knowledge from me can help. " Oro-ryu emerged from one side of the room. He crept towards the table in front of Aora and Yora

" My name is Oro-ryu, Mr. Aora. I am a stealth snake guarding the 2nd pillar stone" Oro-ryu said as he stared at Aora. His snake tongue poked out, hissing softly he stared at the black sun-shaped seal on Aora's right chest

" This is the binding seal belonging to the Moon Clan. This seal pattern was extremely complicated, only special-ability people like the leader of the Moon Clan were able to plant it. But, there's something strange about the color of the seal pattern on your body, sir.

The seal will usually form a white symbol. But this shows the opposite! "

" Then do you know what really happened? " saying Aora

" There's only one answer. The seal Mr. Yora planted had already reached its limit. That means, Nue's dark power inside you has almost broken the seal.

Worst of all, your body will soon be taken over and taken over by Nue! If that happens you are even capable of killing everyone, even your loved ones. "

Aora's eyes started to tremble. He recalled the incident when he threw his teacher's body. Not only that, even when he was struck with emotion, while heading towards Tengu castle, he also nearly killed his men. The longer Aora's rampage he can't control

" And what should I do? As a member of the Moon Clan. Do I have to seal Aora's dark power once again?! "

" That's impossible for us to do, sir. Different from you and Miss Mirai. Lord Aora had more of Nue's soul power still lingering within her soul. You forgot the incident when the three noble clans of Sora were massacred 15 years ago?

Your father sealed Nue's soul into his body. However, because that power was still very great from what Lord Aoryu's body could receive. The rest of the strength left behind is what is still in the body of Mr. Aora to this day" explained Oro-ryu

Yora's hands clenched firmly. Even when all the efforts he had been putting together, he couldn't save his sister.

" Do we have to just sit still. Is there no way to stop Soul Nue from taking over Aora's body? "

Oro-ryu was silent for a moment. He turned his eyes back to Aora. The gray-haired man seemed to know the answer the white snake would give him

" There's only one way. With Shiroi's sword, someone- "

" enough. " Aora stopped Oro-ryu's speech. He glances at Oro-ryu, a small slug Aora shows. The gel signals Oro-ryu not to tell him more.

"Yora, you've had enough to protect me so far. You're willing to be a fugitive and stamped as your own family's slayer to save me from guilt. You are also willing to endure all my hatred, which I should have directed at myself.

What you did was enough for me. Now I'm the one who will protect myself" Aora said with a genuine smile

Aora began to move, she walked slowly towards where the swords Shiroi and Bakuro were. While staring at the two Katakana her parents' legacy. Aora recalled the words of her teacher, Zen

" Someone taught me that if you do it all alone, you will only find failure. However, if you do everything with your friends. Even when you choose the wrong path and end up lost, your friend will wake you up and lead you back to the right path! " Aora took Bakuro's sword and walked towards her brother

" You and I can't do it all alone. You forget, we still have friends who want to help us. For that, let's do it together! " Aora stared at the dark bead before her, confidence filling the look in her eyes. He hands over his mother's sword to Yora

" For that. Than worrying about things that haven't happened. We better try our best to solve this mystery. You said you were gonna infiltrate the red Cops lab, right? Then I'll come with you. Let us both catch who is the mastermind of the killing of innocent villagers! "

Aora's smile slightly eased Yora's anxiety. Slowly, he reached for his sword. After a long time, the two brothers finally returned to make one. The different paths they had taken before, would eventually only leave one path in common.

A path that serves a purpose. Save the world from the threat of a creature named Nue

"Oi! Two stupid men ahead! You could be excited to quickly uncover the strange mystery. But, are you sure that you are able to break through Tanuki's Laboratory's defenses? You forget, the hellish desert that protects that secret base! " Yur suddenly entered the room. It seems he has rearranged his feelings

" Yuri you-" said Yora in disbelief. Wasn't Yuri angry?

" Hm... I can't stop two stupid men who are against what the doctor said. For that reason, I plan to take part in the infiltration mission this time. In an infiltration mission, don't you guys need my sensor skills indispensable? "

Aora smiled happily "Of course, more people are better! Well, now how about we start drawing up a plan to infiltrate Tanuki's base! " Aora reached out a clenched hand.

Yora just stared at her brother in wonder. What did Aora mean by that helping hand?

" Wait what else? Yora did you forget this greeting? We always do this before we start a mission. Let's quickly give you guys! "

" Cih! Aora, it turns out you're more fun than your twin sister. Yeah! There's at least one partner I can communicate with right now. " Yuri glanced sharply at Yora

Yuri understood Aora's intentions. With a smile on her face, she reached out and joined Aora's hand. Now they both compactly looked at Yora who was still frozen.

" What are you waiting for Yora! Give me your hand! " said Yuri. All her misery on Yora seemed to just disappear. Yora gave her hand in doubt, fists slowly she pointed at Yuri and Aora's hands. A thin smile was engraved on Yora's cold face.

" Let's start this mission! And catch the criminals who dare to oppress the villagers! " said Aora loudly. Eventually the three perform an H-fife and officially embark on an infiltration mission

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

Aora was still busy wearing her Sora military vest. Aora's mask even covered half her face. All the equipment including her Katakana Shiroi was ready. Just waiting for Yuri's arrival to begin discussing the infiltration plan. Aora unintentionally glanced towards the balcony. There, Yora was still standing staring at the expanse of sea in front of her. Aora realized her brother was still worrying about the dark seal that was almost destroyed in her.

With a gentle look, Aora started to smile towards Yora. The only family he still has in this world.

"You don't have to do anything else for me Yora. All this time, you've protected me enough.

If the time comes and if this damned power overwhelms my body completely. Let me trouble you once more. This will be my first and last request.

If anyone should stop me (kill Aora). I hope you are the one! "murmurm Aora slowly
