Whoosh!
Thwack!
The sharp whistling of a whip once again emanated from inside the cave.
A gust of wind, heavy with dust and filled with murderous intent, rushed toward them.
Already on guard, Kamiyagawa utilized the Breath of Aun to coordinate his body and nimbly dodged the wind blade.
"So heavy with resentment and killing intent, I thought it might be a foreman that could be taken back to Aokigahara."
The arrival signaled ill intentions.
Unlike the Fumijiro, who were numb and witless, not reacting at all even when seeing a living person like Kamiyagawa, what emerged from the abandoned mine was a powerful and hostile Strange Tale.
Generally speaking, isolated, desolate areas are likely to give rise to powerful youkai.
The most typical example was the previous case on Oguri Island.
On a remote island, there were actually three Rank B Strange Tales that had not been noticed by the Official Exorcists for a long time.
That's understandable, though.
