Somewhere deep within a dense forest in the territory of the Asuna Clan, in a secluded cave, a group of rugged mercenaries gathered, their expressions serious as they discussed an important matter.
"Rafael and his men betrayed Yoru Kusanagi. Now, he wants us to eliminate them," the group's leader said, his tone heavy with weariness.
He was a seasoned mercenary, long under the command of the Kusanagi clan, a man who had led more missions than he could count.
Killing was his trade, and another order to eliminate a group of men was nothing new.
However, this time, the situation was troublesome.
Rafael and his men had allied themselves with the Tatsuya clan—one of the most powerful forces in the entire world of Arcane.
The Tatsuya clan had long-standing animosity with the Kusanagi clan, making this task far more dangerous than usual.
