In Magano, Sae and the others had gathered at the original light which was a few miles in diameter and shrinking.
"There's no signs of a Kegare or anyone else being here," said Benio as they all slowly walked around.
"You would be wrong about that," said a voice as black flames erupted inside the light.
"Who are you?" asked Sae as a man wearing a cloak came out of the black flame and the light.
"My name is none of your business, but I have a question for you, Sae," said the man.
"How is Juban doing now that I've messed with the light?" asked the man with a smug sound to his voice.
"You bastard!" said Sae as she leapt at him.
"I figured the Miko would be able to control their emotions more than this," said the man as he dodged her attacks.
"You'll pay for what you did to my friend!" said Sae before using the black talisman to transform her legs and right arm.
"Human emotions are the number one weakness of your kind," said the man as he caught her right fist before throwing her back toward the others.
"You don't think that this will be enough to stop me, do you?" asked Sae as she held her left side while she stood up.
"That's it, it's our turn," said Rokuro as he and Benio took fighting stances.
"I'm only interested in the Miko, so why don't we take our fight where others can't interfere with it," said the man while entering the light.
"Sae, I know you want to avenge Junban, but you have to calm down," said Ume as she placed a hand on her left shoulder.
"You're right, he would tell me the same thing if he was here," said Sae while she took a few deep breaths to calm down.
"Oh, I can feel a difference in you now," said the man as he noticed Sae's eyes were glowing while she entered the light.
