As night fell, a light rain began to fall from the night sky.
In the mountain forest several kilometers away from Cloud Sea Cliff, stood two figures, one tall and one short.
Among them, the tall and burly youth, with rather disheveled hair, had a necklace of Divine Power Pearls around his neck, reminiscent of the court beads worn by ancient ministers.
There was an exceptional number of beads!
In his hand, he held a golden Zen Stick with an especially exquisite design, the head of the stick featuring large rings enclosing small rings, occasionally emitting crisp clinking sounds.
"Jingle~ Clang~"
The burly youth swung the golden Zen Stick and was pacing back and forth in front of a large tree, looking very impatient.
A violent aura filled the surroundings.
The shorter figure was a middle-aged woman, with both a knife and a sword at her waist, also wearing a necklace of Divine Power Pearls, with a considerable number of beads!
