We arrived at the outskirts of the village as the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in shades of amber and crimson. The place was eerily silent, with an unsettling stillness hanging in the air. Shinobu was at my side, her delicate frame radiating calm determination. It was just the two of us for this mission.
Shalltear had insisted on accompanying me, of course, but I’d firmly told her to stay behind. This wasn’t a battlefield for overwhelming brute force, And I wish to have some alone time with Shinobu.
But I already sensed some of Shalltear’s [Household] summon in the distance, hiding in the shadows.
Shinobu’s voice broke the silence. "From what I’ve gathered, this village is infested with multiple demons. That in itself is unusual. Demons are solitary by nature—territorial, even. For so many of them to gather in one place... it suggests coordination."
"Coordination or control," I mused, scanning the deserted streets. The remnants of the village told a grim story. Doors hung open on their hinges, abandoned belongings scattered everywhere. There were no signs of life, no cries for help—only the faint metallic tang of blood carried on the breeze.
Shinobu nodded, her gaze sharp. "Exactly. Either these demons are being directed by a stronger force, or something is compelling them to behave unnaturally. We’ll need to be cautious."
I smiled faintly, the corner of my mouth lifting in amusement. "You worry too much. A handful of demons doesn’t sound like much of a challenge."
