"Please speak."
"I need the soul of an exceptional warrior to cultivate a Wilderness Skeleton." Kamiyagawa took out the [Withered Myriad Bones]. "I wonder if there's a suitable one here on the Three Paths River."
As soon as he finished speaking, a breeze tinged with a faint, ghostly fragrance whirled up over the sea of Red Spider Lilies, softly caressing the pale, gleaming skull like gentle, silken hands.
Then, from the depths of the flowers, slender blood-red petals shot skyward, as a shadowy figure emerged with them.
In his hand he dragged a cross-patterned spear, clad in crimson but tattered armor; the battered plates bristled with broken arrows and daggers, and beneath the star-helmet only a pair of cold, ghostly pupil-fires glimmered, unyielding and tenacious.
And on that star-helmet—
Six copper coins.
Kamiyagawa had heard of this before, when researching information about the Three Paths River.
Six coins: this was the crest of the Sanada Family.
