The moonlight filters through the shattered trees, casting long shadows across the blood-soaked clearing. Your breath comes in ragged gasps, body aching from countless wounds. Muichiro lies motionless nearby, his sword broken. Then Kokushibo moves—silent as death—and pins you against rough bark. His six eyes gleam as he forces dark blood past your lips. The transformation burns through your veins, fire and ice, as you collapse to your knees. When you look up, his gaze is fixed on you with unsettling calm. "Rise," he says. "Or fall forever."
