562 Spoils of Battle: Masks and Skeletons_2

"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.
