Then, it slowly disintegrated into thin air.

I looked over to the boulder and saw that the figure was still there.

Kazuki: I think you should give up... We have you surrounded.

I threatened as I pointed my blade at him.

However, he didn't speak. He just stood up, and jumped, landing a few feet away from me.

We all raised our guards, ready for any incoming attack.

The shadow surrounding him earlier lessened and I could now see his appearance.

It was a man with long, blackish-red, hair, that was messily tied up.
It was wearing a full-face masquerade with a fire pattern on the left eye slot.
He was wearing a red yukata and black hakama with setta sandals.

As he is standing there, I also notice that his stance is very dignified.

Straight posture, the way he holds his katana, everything is about him is dignified.

He emits a powerful aura that is enough to bring a normal person to their knees trembling.

And for some reason, something tells me that he isn't the caster that we've been looking for.

Just then, I heard a voice in my head. It was the Kamuy.

???: Master! Run away!

The Kamuy's voice was shaky and in a panic as if she was terrified and scared.

Kamuy: You should run away now! He is the dangerous presence that was following you.

Kazuki: It's him?!

I became even more cautious of the man in front of us.

"It is really the Kamuy... You are the Kamuy wielder of this present generation."

He said in his deep voice.

Kazuki: What do you want and who are you?!

I exclaimed once more.

Then, I started taking small, single footsteps toward me.

Normally, I would move back as a reflexive response, however, at this moment, I can't move my legs.

H-Huh

I am paralyzed. My body was shaking all over from... Fear??

"Master, RUN!"

I could lock my eyes against him, and as I blinked for just a single time, he disappeared.

Oh no, run, run, run! I know the gravity of the situation, yet my body won't cooperate! It's scary!

"Get out of there!"

"Kazuki, behind you!"

"Turn around!"

I could hear several faint screams from behind me... But, it was too late.

Just as I could muster up my mental capacity, I felt something warm on my stomach.

I slowly looked below and saw a blade, sticking out of my stomach.

I screamed loudly as the pain soon began to radiate in my stomach.

"How unlucky, Kamuy."

He said before he retracted the blade, causing more pain that made me fall onto my knees.

The pain was so unimaginable and severe that I could feel myself passing out.

I want to cry and scream, but there's something about this guy that paralyzes you!
