Endgame of the 439 Warrior

"Xu Fu... Xu Fu..."

Those overlapping murmurs seemed to come from the void, not arising from the Frozen Tundra beyond the sacred forest, but echoing incessantly in the minds and bodies of all those who heard them.

This was the third time Kamiya River had called the East Crosser's name.

The first had been an unconscious act, and the second was to combat Fallen Yamabiko of Aokigahara.

But the influence of the third utterance of the East Crosser's murmurs was clearly stronger than before, and even affected a wider area. Hannya, who was closer to Kamiya and Asuramikoto, as well as Mary and Hachisaku-sama, further away, and Inugami, were all affected.

On the plains, a short distance from the center of the fierce battle, the East Crosser's murmurs did not reach the periphery of the battlefield.

Amidst the thick purple-black miasma, Karasutengu shifted his body and looked down at the Huajing in his arms.

All's well, the spooky little brother from home didn't seem injured.
