The Bloody General Sword

Vol 11

Rui suddenly knelt on the rocks. Hatachi took a few steps back, as if what Geem said was the end of their lives, Tutsima sat down, she did not believe and said to herself .

"that ... That's not possible."

It was as if a thousand arrows pierced Otaru's heart. Tears fell onto her cheeks, what other explanation did they need? The general's sword never escaped the general's hand, like a part of himself.

Geem then continued his words while staring at the five Akai.

"The brother was struck by a spear while trying to help me, then the brother ...." Geem's words came to a halt, Rui suddenly shouted.

"ENOUGH! Stop the shit you said, boy! The general can't be ...." Rui looked at the Kyusu River, tears welling up her face, as well as the four Akai.

Their adventure of fighting and fighting alongside the general, the loyalty of the five Akai is more than their own lives.

"What do we do now?" said Hatachi while sitting on the rocks of the Kyusu river, the breeze of fresh wind and cloudy sky also overshadowed their grief.

Otaru, who usually acts rationally and always takes everything into account, is now sitting down not knowing what to do. Matsue looked at the sword Rui was holding, something made her flinch in shock.

"Rui!" call Matsue.

"Swarf .. see general's sword hilt. It looks like there's something there." Rui looked at the sword hilt that Matsue had said. He turned it around and there was a small piece of paper tucked in there, Rui then picked it up. Otaru, Tutsima and Hatachi stood as if there was a glimmer of hope that their general was still alive.

Rui opened the scroll, then there was writing. Rui read it too.

"Black pearls will make you live like you're dead ."

Rui looked at the four of them.

"Black pearls?" Hatachi then wiped away the tears on his face.

"It seems I know where the black pearl is, but what does it mean? What's for?" tanyakanya.

"Where?" ask rui.

"Where can we find him?"

Later Hatachi told of the Ochtosk kingdom at the earlier Akai museums.

"We all have it, watch your necklaces."

They all checked the necklace on their necks and found a rectangular necklace with a red sun in the middle, they all took off their necklaces and observed.

"Where's the pearl?" ask Otaru. Rui squeezed the red sun picture, suddenly the picture opened with a click on it.

There was a pitch black pearl, as big as a marble, when touched with the skin like an ice so cold.

"What should we do with these black pearls?" matsue asked, but of course hatachi answered him.

"It has been explained that the pearl must be swallowed, if you are loyal to the general and wait for his presence to return, then you will not die, until the rise of the general, again, then we will freeze as it is written on the paper, we live like we are dead" Hatachi explained.

Otaru and Rui looked at him, then Hatachi added .

"Hey don't underestimate my knowledge, the information in the Ochtosk kingdom I've all been before I became an Akai" Hatachi said with a reassuring face.

Suddenly Rui wanted to swallow him just like that, then Hatachi shouted at him.

"Don't swallow Rui first, we have to swallow him together, and looking for the safest place, we could have frozen for hundreds of years or thousands of years to wait for the general to be reborn, you don't want people breaking our bodies when we freeze and turn into statues." Hatachi explained.

"Where are we going?" tutsima asked as she stared at the pearl in her grasp.

"I don't think we're too far from the Kyusu river, maybe in the middle of the forest it's quite safe." Rui then added.

"How do we know the general is reborn?" again Hatachi answered him.

"It was already explained that when the general was present in this world, we would return to our normal state, our frozenness would be gone for a while."

"First of all we are looking for the safest place" Otaru said.

"If it's been hundreds or thousands of years, then a lot will change, we'll go there." He pointed to a mountain called Kyojin.

"We're going to freeze there on top of Kyojin mountain" Rui said. His eyes stared at the huge snowy mountain that awaited the presence of the five Akai.
