The Cursed Bloodline
Shadow In The Darkness

In a dead city, with tall, fragile buildings devoured by age, some houses show only ruins and debris, indicating that decades have left the city its inhabitants

A city far away in the outer reaches of the country of Sora, a city where no one thought that behind the ruins, hidden an underground headquarters and a large research laboratory

Several military soldiers in full Red cops uniforms watched every point of the city by hiding themselves, mingling with the old moss-grown buildings

Deep in the ground, was hidden a magnificent building, with a huge red cloud emblem painted on its walls. The secret headquarters of Red Cops, an illegal headquarters known only to a few of Tanuki's confidants

In a laboratory room, several penliti were busy with various experimental materials, containers complete with a thick black liquid with several red cop soldiers as guinea pigs

Aghhhhh.....

The sound of screams rang out everywhere, a man, shrieking in pain with his entire pulse tissue turning black, his eyes showing a blood red color. His body tied up in the patient's bed seemed rebellious, occasionally writhing due to intense pain.

A black magic aura burst forth on every part of his body. He was unable to hold the black liquid that was injected in the pulse of his arm. The modification magic power could not be held back by his body anymore, he also spurted blood through his mouth in addition to severe convulsions. Not long after, the man used as an experiment was killed

The researcher who injected the person simply shook his head, and ordered his subordinates to dispose of the corpse immediately

Tanuki as the mastermind behind it all, just looked flat at the trial victim from behind the glass wall

"How did it go, Dr Dojii? Did you manage to apply that special blood into the soldier's body? " ask Tanuki, without distracting her

A doctor-robed man, with a vertical scar on his face, just looked at the recently deceased man flatly, as if he knew the results of the trial would not work

The doctor is Dojji, the same man Tanuki slashed and also saved directly with the help of Mirai's blood, 18 years ago.

"In addition to Akuma, Maya and Jigoku, none of the soldiers could stand the gene modification in their bodies.

Despite having great life energy, the black magic energy contained within that special blood was so powerful. I've already experimented using the Cells of the two sky Pillar clans, either the Sun Clan or the Moon Clan I've tried to mix them with the blood of those snow Clan descendants. But it becomes a great poison for the human body

You can see what happened with the man, his body resisted while the black aura of the magic power ripped through his body and his internal organs destroyed Mr Tanuki" Dr Dojji explained

"So it only works well in the bodies of Akuma, Jigoku and Maya? " said Tanuki "Did you find a factor that made the blood match those 3 people? "

" Not yet, sir. And worse, the special blood sample you gave me was very thinning. Although I have been trying to use it carefully for 18 years, in fact the blood supply is running out" said Dr. Dojjji

He also shows a special room, where Mirai's blood has been shed for the past 18 years. The room was installed special medical magic techniques, so Mirai's special blood was preserved despite being stored for a long time

"Then where are the three? " tanuki asked as she walked away from the test room

" We gave them the same black liquid, to keep their strength afloat. Although not as great as the original bloodline strength of the 3 Pillar guards, in fact their strength could not be underestimated, if compared to 80% of their magic power comparable to the Original power of the main descendant of the Pillar guards" clearly Dr. Dojji is following where Tanuki is going

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

The two Red Cops warriors faced Tanuki, making the bandaged man stop his steps for a moment. The man with the g-tope also bowed respectfully to Tanuki

"What's wrong? " said Tanuki in a flat tone

" 4 headquarters at four points in Sora Village have been closed by White Cops under the orders of Mr. Zen, including our main headquarters. Almost half of our troops have been disarmed and sent to guard the border by Chairman Zen as a reserve military soldier. Chairman Zen had also removed the curse seal on their bodies" the 'Death God's'-backed man reported

As two rivals and best friends, Chairman Zen knows the magic formula that Tanuki used to bind the Red Cops. Except for a curse contract with shackles on the victim's fingers like Yume's, Ten's lover

"Fucking zen..... He really intended to knock me to pieces" Tanuki muttered in annoyance

"Then what about the undercover Special Forces in each of these countries, did they find any files on their whereabouts? " ask Tanuki

" No Sir, other than the Red Cops who served in the Village, no one knew that the Red Cops had spies all over the Country

Just in case, I've eliminated soldiers who knew of their whereabouts" the masked man said

Go then! " the Tanuki command

" Good Sir"

Taps... Taps... Tap

The masked man vanished in an instant

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

In a classier flattening room, three people were lying on a sofa. A long black-haired man, who was enduring the pain, was injected with a thick black liquid by one of the researchers

"Sstt.... Can you slow down, you idiot! " said the man with an arrogant face, he almost hit the doctor next to him, but stopped his partner

" B... Will me, Mr. Jigoku" said the doctor fearfully, his hand holding the syringe still shaking

" Silence Jigoku!! Their role is quite important here, you forget they also petrified us with their invention right!!! " snaps one of the ladies there. She is Maya

The man named Jigoku suddenly undoes his intention, he again leaned back on the chair as he closed his eyes

" It's wrong of you to use your powers carelessly....... You should even get an extra shot because of that" said a man with a mustache, his gaze so calm but deadly. As the name implies the man who was nicknamed the devil, Akuma

"Sad.... I just want to see how great the Moon-descended son is, in fact he is just a cowardly boy who ran away in the middle of a fight" Jigoku said

"That's because you're stupid!!! It could be that you lost just because of the boy" Maya said in a mocking tone

"You're Maya..... Arrrhhhh...... "

Jigoku yelled withstanding the pain he felt, hamburg the entire flow of blood (Nadi) in his body blackened. The same thing happened with the man earlier, but Jigoku's body was not inferior to the black Aura that enveloped his body

Slowly the Gyoku in his hand formed a symbol, though a thin and opaque moon mark appeared on his palm

"Well... Huh... Huh...... This pain.... It really sucks" said Jigoku with a stingy breath

The same thing happened to Akuma and Maya, each in their hands appeared symbols of sun and snow, although faint

"Haha....... But... This pain, worth the strength we can" said Jigoku with a satisfied smile, he tried to clench his hand slowly, even though all his nerves were burning and painful

"Is she okay? " said a voice from behind them

When the three men stood up, they saluted their leader, Tanuki

" You've arrived, sir" they said compactly

Tanuki stared at the right hand of the three people in front of him, with a sly grin he bun walking over to his men

"You must have heard, that red Cops activity has been suspended by Sora" Tanuki said

"Of course, sir, if you feel disappointed, we will gladly make a calculation with the Village Chief of Sora, Zen" said Akuma, his gaze showing his intention was not a mere remark

Tanuki shook his head, he so appreciated the loyalty of his three subordinates. They don't even hesitate to kill, as long as it pleases their Master

"There's something you have to do for me. " said the red Cops chairman meaningfully.

" If they dare to step on me, I will make them feel the same way 100 times" Tanuki murmured
