The last hour before dawn is also the darkest time of the day.

On the edge of a mud pond in Ise Castle, five black-clad and masked men are wielding shovels to fill a large pit with dirt.

Bang!Bang!······

After the dirt was filled, they stomped their feet on the ground a few times together. After making sure that it was buried, one of the men pulled down the black cloth from his face, opened his mouth and gasped deeply, and then said to his companion beside him, "Kojima, the money is with you, right? ”

When Kojima heard this, he also ripped off the black cloth, touched the new cuts on his face with his mud-stained hands, and grinned in pain. He scolded and said, "Bastard, don't call me by name, put the money here first and wait until I get back." It hurts, it hurts. This mean woman, hiss····· Why are you only scratching my face? ”

One of the companions next to him gloated and laughed, "Yes, why did she only scratch your face? Maybe it's because the scars on your face aren't symmetrical." There are three scratches on one side, which makes it look much better. Isn't that right?"

"That's right, Kojima, you're much better looking now than you used to be. Hahaha·······" Everyone laughed together.

"Shut up, you bastards. Kojima said angrily, "Next time I'll let you go head-on, I'll be from behind." Next time, let's see which of you has ····· face scratched. ”

Kojima covered his face and walked into the distance with four companions, shouting and cursing.

········· Two hours later

Dylan leaned on the edge of the window of the carriage, looked at the speed of the ox cart, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "At this speed, when will we be able to reach the beach." ”

Ashiya Michiman approached and replied uninterestingly, "Lord Kami, judging by the speed at which the ox cart is traveling now, we will probably reach the beach at dinner time." ”

After a pause, he added, "If you ride a horse, you will be faster, and you will be back at noon." We don't have horses, though. ”

Dylan gave him an annoyed look, then fell on his back on the blanket of the ox cart. Since it won't be until the evening, it's better to catch up on sleep in the car and wake up for dinner.

The ox cart moved slowly, and just as it was not far from the mud pond, Dylan suddenly sensed it. He sat up from the blanket and shouted to the outside of the cart, "Stop!" and the cart stopped.

Ashiya Michiman cautiously asked Dylan, "Lord, why did you stop here?

Dylan opened his eyes, looked in the direction of the mud pool, and said, "No! However, there is one more thing to take with you before you go back. ”

Kindness???

Ashiya Michi's head was full of question marks: "Did the gods take a fancy to something?"

"That's a good thing!" Dylan pushed open the door of the bullock cart, looked at the mud pond not far away, and said with a smile, "It's there, don't you see?"

Kindness???

Ashiya Michiman scratched his hair and looked out of the bullock cart with some confusion.

An afterimage floated by, and Dylan appeared on an apparently renovated piece of land by the mud pond, stamped his foot vigorously, and said, "Right down here, dig it up for me." ”

"Hay!"

········· Another two hours passed

"Got it!"

"Two bodies were dug up. ”

"It's not two, it's three corpses!"

Ashiya Michiman glanced at the corpses in the pit, then turned around and ran to the ox cart, knocked on the window and said, "Lord God, we dug up three corpses, do you want to take a look?"

Yes...... Dylan yawned: "No need, just ship it back and wash it, I'll use it later." ”

··········

After dinner, it was already dark.

Dylan glanced at the moon that had just appeared in the sky, and then took four steps to the place where the mortuary was buried in the mountain behind the Ashiya house, and lifted the straw mat. Inside the straw mat were three corpses, two large and one small. A middle-aged man, a young woman, and a toddler.

The man had obvious scars on his head, and he was supposed to have been hit on the head with a heavy object to death. The woman had many bruises on her body, purple lower body, and traces of being pinched on her neck, so she should have been raped first (harmonious society) and then killed. Young children die in the same way as men, and they also die after being hit with a heavy object.

The two corpses of a man and a woman are very resentful, and if they are buried in the ground and left untreated, it is likely that there will be a corpse transformation.

When the time comes······

Dylan smashed his mouth: "You are lucky to meet me, you have the opportunity to avenge yourself with your own hands." Thank the gods······ Oh no, am I not a god? So, thank me!"

Hahahahaha····· Dylan laughed a few times, then popped out sharp nails with his right hand and slashed towards his left wrist. He used the nail of his right hand to stain the blood from his wrist and carved it on the three corpses. Dylan's hands were extremely fast, but it took him ten minutes to paint the whole body of the three corpses.

He carefully examined the runes on the three corpses to make sure there were no problems. Suddenly, he opened his bat's wings and flew into the air, frantically sucking up the lunar energy towards the moon.

Dylan was now on the verge of the viscount, and with the blessing of the two bats, the moon could rush down like a waterfall. Bathed in the moonlight, he writhed in the air as he chanted an inexplicably strange incantation.

It was a spell that Dylan had never used, and the spell was full of vicious, tyrannical, evil aura. At this time, the originally bright moonlight also revealed a cold and strange atmosphere, as if the moon was also polluted.

As the minutes ticked by, the strange chanting sound grew from small to loud, slowly spreading from the Ashiya house to the entire hillside, and from the hillside to the entire city.

At the same time, many of the people in Ise Castle who were still working were also disturbed by the vicious aura of the incantation. They shouted in panic:

"What a sound, what a horrible sound. Sakurako, come to Daddy!"

"Is this the roar of a demon?"

"It's a demon! It must be a demon. ”

"The demons are in town! Run!"

"Youkai····· Come on. ”

"Help!"

The people of the city ran to their homes in terror, and when they got home, they hurriedly locked their doors and windows. They gathered together and knelt down in prayer for ·······.

In a cave in a mountain forest not far from Ise, a majestic figure suddenly woke up: "Hmm! Whose breath?"

He staggered out of the cave with heavy steps. A pair of antlers more than three feet long were revealed, with a purple-black glow on the antlers, and they shook in a circle. Then stopped in the direction of Ise Castle.

"It's the inner direction. I remember there was a human city, right there...... Hey, hey, hey, hey, black. Interesting!"
