Just before meeting Professor Read and Professor Tristan, Issac and Reynold met Kiyoyasu in the Unknown Origin Dungeon.
A knock from outside was heard. Wearing a golden red ninja. As well as wearing a tengu mask coated in protective energy. Reynold and Issac heard the figure of a young man carrying a katana.
"Hello anyone?"
"Who is there? Are you the enemy who will attack us?" Reynolds asked.
"No, no, no! I'm here to remind you, The Protector! The place called Edgeville Prison and Aeckland Stronghold had been abandoned by the monsters. Did you guys kill Diligent Prince Waldwin?"
From within, Isaac and Reynold nodded. Unknowingly, a katana sword was swung. Split the shield into two parts. Just like breaking an egg. Wearing ninja clothes, complete with blackish red beads. Wearing straw sandals. And his hair is curled shorter. The right arm has a glove with three different shape patterns. Circles, triangles and squares. Everything changes as needed. When he opened his wrist, inside was a letter that was shown to Reynold and Issac. The silver-haired youth opened the contents of the letter. It turned out that the letter contained congratulations from one of the Kaishima clan. Look at the figure of the ninja in front.
"Introduce. My name is Kiyoyasu Ogasawara. I'm here to ask you something. I hope your answers are honest."
"Honest?" Isaac asked frowning.
Reynold clicked his tongue. Had he had a weapon, he would have attacked without a second thought. However, it is worth listening to the words of the man. From a glance, wearing a bright red tengu mask. Wearing clothes called ninja-yoroi. Flip-flops are always worn everywhere. His katana sword emitted wind elemental magic energy. Blends with metal objects on the katana. If you pay close attention, the direction rotates like clockwork. The tempo is slow, feels easily eroded whenever we are attacked.
His katana sword was taken out. His left hand holds a bamboo flute. He blew the flute for a moment. Issac and Reynolds looked at each other. Confused because they came just to say hello. Not considering what is said or said. Finally, Reynolds asked him.
"Tell me what is your purpose here?"
Man in ninja dress holding katana scabbard from left palm. While the right hand gripped the katana sword tightly. Suddenly, a swing along with his limbs twisted. Isaac also shifted to the right. Parry attacks in the opposite direction. Glancing at Reynold using his shotgun and wand. Swinged with frustration earned. The ninja-clad man mercilessly attacked Isaac. The silver-haired youth pushed Reynold back. Tell him to do attacks from a distance. The magic pressure received was so intense. To the extent that Isaac's arms were raised. The right foot kick has been rotated from the left. Kicked into the temple of a man dressed as a ninja. However, the katana sword began to enlarge.
The sword had a height of about 178 centimeters. About the size of a four to five foot knife. The weapon is called the Odachi. The sword was not suitable for close combat. But for some reason, the ninja-clad man easily adapts. Until Isaac backs down. Reynold's wand activated. Out comes the water element rotating in a spiral. Then directed his bursts at the man dressed in ninja. However, the stomping of the right foot and the vertical swing had ruined it all. Drops of water spread out in all directions. Making Reynold unable to do anything except take cover behind Issac. He looks annoyed and annoying when he can't do anything. Reynolds backed away. Throwing bottles filled with alcohol. Issac's left leg backed up while positioning himself with his left arm. A big explosion occurred. The flames grew bigger, adding the liquid to it.
"Stop the three of you!"
Men dressed as ninjas, Issac and Reynolds were taken aback when a swarm of spiders appeared and a familiar figure appeared in their eyes. While he was quite surprised by the action he did. The black-skinned spider emitted an intimidating aura around it. Including directed at the three men after the fight. Considering the possibility of a more dangerous enemy that no one knows about. Latros came hitting Issac and Reynolds on the head. The two men groaned in pain.
"You two stop acting like little kids in front of older people!"
"There's no need to worry Latros. After all, they are strong."
"Is that some kind of sarcasm?" said Reynold sneeringly.
However, the ninja-clothed man snorted lightly. Finally, his odachi sword shrunk. Become a katana sword. Sheathed back to the right waist. The left palm holds a tied tengu mask. As he was about to let go, Latros stopped him.
"You don't need to let go, Kiyoyasu. They don't need to know your real face."
The ninja-clothed man named Kiyoyasu didn't just believe it. Instead, he glared sharply at Issac and Reynold. The two of them also felt the anger of Latros. The two of them went straight to the room that had been provided. Place for the throne of Latros.
~o0o~
While on the way to the throne room, Kiyoyasu looked at Reynold and Issac with an annoyed expression. Footsteps dragged. Indicates that he is reluctant to answer it. On the other hand, Latros was curious about the man. Kiyoyasu knew Diligent Prince Waldwin more than he did.
Latros stopped walking. He looked from the left with his eight eyes. Glancing sharply at his tengu mask. Watch for any suspicious movement.
"There's no need to be suspicious like that. I'm here to inquire about the fight with Diligent Prince Waldwin. Am I wrong?"
"Of course not. You can ask about that. The question is, why them?" asked Latros matter-of-factly.
Kiyoyasu snorted in relief. When he was about to turn around, there was something unique and dangerous. A sword in the shape of a giant, curved like a full moon. He felt an unusual energy near the cage. Trying to take it carefully. An unusual writing appeared that read Muramasa.
"Muramasa?" mumbled Kiyoyasu.
An inscription from the hilt of the katana sword. Write the following:
"Muramasa's Sword was a most skillful smith but a violent and ill-balanced mind verging on madness, that was supposed to have passed into his blades. They were popularly believed to hunger for blood and to impel their warrior to commit murder or suicide. Once drawn a sword, a Muramasa blade has to draw blood before it can be returned to its scabbard, even to the point of forcing its wielder to wound himself or commit suicide. Thus, it is thought of as a demonic cursed blade that creates bloodlust in those who wield it."
However, Kiyoyasu didn't just believe it. He tried to feel it again. The sword slowly touched the surface of his skin. From the tips of the feet, knees, thighs, waist, limbs such as hands and head. Everything he felt until he got what he wanted. On the other hand, Reynold was approaching Latros. Whisper to him.
"You two know each other?"
"Kiyoyasu Ogasawara. A ninja-samurai who lives in Edo Village. In the past, the village was a place for developing assassins to help every kingdom that wanted to hire his services. However, everything changed when the Unknown Origin Dungeon appeared. They feel the place should be demolished immediately."
"Destroyed you say?" said Isaac wide-eyed.
"Evil energy has spread across The All Region. For years, they investigated, traced to unravel the mystery that was in it. Unfortunately, no one managed to get in and come back safe."
"Is that why Reynold and I were being tested by him?" guess Isaac.
Latros nodded. The process of unification between Kiyoyasu and Muramasa's sword has been completed. The ninja-clothed man sheathed the sword. Walked to the right while seeing a doll the size of him.
"Issac, Reynold… exactly what Latros the spider said. 20 years ago, my village was destroyed due to the actions of the monsters that massacred Edo Village. Me and my partner Kentarou have finished getting information about this sword. But our payment is the destruction of the village."
No one spoke. The spiders, curious about Kiyoyasu, tried to approach the man. He responded by stroking his head. He felt ticklish and cute. After crouching down, Kiyoyasu took hold of the hilt of the hilt. The tengu mask looked at Isaac and Reynold.
"I watched you two from the start because I wanted something behind that portal. Unfortunately, I don't have the strength to get it. When you go there again, without a second thought go straight inside and move quickly. Through this," explained Kiyoyasu showing his doll. The doll has dozens of weapons already available. Threads connected to his fingers. The index finger is moved, it looks like the doll is moving by itself. A loud buzzing sound echoed in the surrounding area. Disturbing the sense of hearing of spiders. Including Isaac and Reynolds. Kiyoyasu touched the rough wooden surface of a doll. Suddenly, it shrunk. Put in a small box.
"I can't wait to use this. But to whom?" mumbled Kiyoyasu grinning his lips.
On the other hand, Reynold and Issac looked at each other. They seemed confused by Kiyoyasu's words. The silver-haired youth stroked his chin. Find out what he means.
"Could it be, you want to try this on Diligent Prince Waldwin before we defeat?"
"How can you—"
Reynold's words were cut off by Issac. The silver-haired youth passed the spiders. Including Kiyoyasu and Latros. The man wearing the tengu mask didn't say anything after Issac guessed the plot.
"That's right. The one who had sent monsters to our village was him. None other than the person himself. And I used the hinata doll as my weapon to kill him instantly."
"Hinata doll?" asked Isaac.
Although it sounded strange, at least Kiyoyasu thought the doll he was holding was a weapon he had besides the muramasa sword. The ninja-clothed man grew impatient to wield two weapons at once. On the other hand, Issac approached Kiyoyasu. When the two weapons stared at each other, a resonance appeared.
"Is that so…"
"You finally noticed huh?" a question crossed Latros himself.
A smile on the lips from Isaac's mouth. He turned around, flashing a smile at Reynold, Latros and the others.
"Since when did you notice?"
"When he was looking for muramasa, I felt a slight tremor in Kiyoyasu's body. Allegedly, he was the right person to enter the Unknown Origin Dungeon. Because all this time, he has lost a lot."
Lost your word you say? Reynolds said to himself. His palms were clenched. Staring intently at the man dressed in ninja and tengu mask. Feeling an unusual vibration. In other words, the fate between the three had begun from now on.
