”Haaaaaaa...haaaaa…” Deep, unfathomable breaths were taken as if air itself was free for only a limited period of time. A small body was drenched in sweat and blood, and could barely stabilize itself in the sky.

Tsumi was silently looking around. She was in an area bereft of black knights, trying to catch her breath. She wasn't the only one here, with several others in horrid conditions also breathing heavily.

A haziness emerged in her eyes. She felt that she was the last child on the battlefield. For as far as she could see, only the older clansmen were around, mostly young adults and the middle-aged. The young simply had weaker bodies and strength, resulting in a mass genocide event of the younger generation.

Was she the only one?

”Akio…” she quietly muttered.

”We'll be switching out in eight seconds. Ready up!” A voice reminded belong to a middle-aged woman. This place was the strategic resting location etched out by the Kitsune Elders, but they could only stay for an incredibly short period of time before swapping out with the others.

If it wasn't for their impeccable coordination, something like this was impossible amidst the sea of black knights.

Tsumi and the rest nodded. She swiped her hand in the air, summoning her katana from nothing. Patting her chest, her armor disappeared and reformed instantly, completely repaired.

”Let's go!” The voice shouted. The older woman rushed out first with a roar, her blade gleaming with a viciousness. Her valiant charge was met with a fierce aggression of enemies. She directly split two knights in half with her blade.

Thawk!

Her roar was abruptly stopped as an arrow pierced through her skull. Bits of brain matter, blood, and lifeforce sipped out instantly. Her body was sliced into three pieces by two knights before they soon found other targets.

Tsumi clashed with one of these knights, but her strength wasn't like before. Her sword snapped in two, causing her expression to shift.

”Die!” A rough yet feminine voice sounded from the knight's helmet as it bore down with its two-headed axe towards Tsumi's head. She could do nothing to stop this and no one had the spare time to help her.

”Was this...the end?” Her mind calmly thought. She wanted to close her eyes, but all her training in life told her to remain aware and eke out a chance for survival. Wrecked with weakness, she felt the rushing wind of the axe above her skull.

Klang!

A violet figure appeared before her. His hand was wielding an arming sword. This arming sword was odd, as its blade was completely violet in color, but it glowed with the shades of the rainbow. It was illusory as if it wasn't real.

The most notable about this figure was its tall and imposing stature, and tails that flickered about endlessly in a hypnotic rhythm.

Tsumi subconsciously counted the number of tails, and her eyes widened in shock and disbelief.

”T-ten!” Her voice quivered in shock.

The figure turned his face half-way, allowing her to see a pair of beautifully orange eyes, a jade-like countenance, and a distinguishable handsomeness. A smile hung at his lips, ”you noticed?”

This voice sounded unlike any she had ever heard, but she felt an intense familiarity to it. It was profoundly confusing. Her mind relaxed all of a sudden and her memories flowed through. Then, instinctively in a playful way, as if she was safe within the village, she mocked, ”Of course I noticed? Who could miss those things!”

Her eyes suddenly widened.

The violet figure laughed, it was carefree and confident.

A name flowed from her lips overflowing water, ”Akio!”
