Chapter 253: Massive Titles Upgrading - Becoming an Adulterer!
At the boundary of Tokyo, Saitama, and Yamanashi Prefectures on the island of Honshu, Japan stood Mount Kumotori, covered in thick snow and thicker cold.
Trees seemed to have turned into defiant wooden pikes, and chilly gusts of wind slithered up and down the mountain, licking damp wood.
Down the slope, the trees weren't as sparse as at the mountain's peak. Despite the dense snow and wind, many of the trees had won the battle in the winter, keeping a dark green shade about them.
Suddenly, an eerie wind danced its way through the leaves of these crowded trees, reaching toward heaven like a tornado.
When the wind settled, a figure could be seen standing where it had sprung up.
Underneath an untied black Haori patterned with blood drops at the edges, this figure was wearing a black Kimono with a black belt over a thin white shirt. For pants, it was wearing black, baggy tobi trousers ending in white tabi socks and wooden Japanese Sandals with black straps.
Yet, if one were to ignore the long tail at its back, then the most striking thing about this figure was its skin.
Blue; The color of a cloudless sky on a summer's day.
This blue flowed like water over the figure, as though it would ripple if touched.
On the figure's forehead, a thumb-sized red jewel glistened like the thickest blood drop, and if one were to observe it from up close, then one would have noticed that this jewel was pulsing from within. Moreover, the rhythms of these pulses, though scarcely noticeable, were increasing with every passing moment.
A stray gust of mountain wind flew up, and the long white hair of the figure looked like millions of white hands reaching towards the unseen peak.
