Akabane Clan.
In the past, this mansion, where all the clansmen of the Red Feather Clan lived, would become brightly lit at night.
"Night is the time for mercenaries."
Adhering to this principle, even at night, people could be seen everywhere in the Akabane Clan.
Sometimes, they gathered together to practice puppets.
Sometimes, they sat cross-legged together to practice magical power.
Sometimes, they did their own things in the room.
Sometimes, they would drink and chat, talking about everything under the sun.
That was the situation of the Akabane Clan in the past. If you look down from the sky, you will see a vibrant family base, not like a mercenary family licking blood on the edge of a knife.
However, today, the mansion had completely changed its appearance.
No one could be seen.
No things could be seen.
No puppets could be seen.
No life could be seen.
All he could see was a raging inferno.
Yes.
The entire Akabane Clan's mansion was on fire.
With the speed of the tamed monster, it didn't even take a day. Rozen, who smoothly rushed back to the Akabane Clan at night, saw such a scene.
"— — —"
Staring at the dazzling red, Rozen fell into a trance.
Vaguely, Rozen seemed to see the scene in Chaldea fifteen years ago.
At that time, under Lev's conspiracy, the control room was also plunged into a sea of fire, and everything in sight was the same as the one in front of him.
For Rozen, Matthew, who was almost the same as the most important person, was in that sea of fire, and she was crushed under the ruins by the mud.
Will I face the same disaster again after fifteen years?
"Damn it …!"
Rozen didn't even think about it and jumped directly from the eagle's back.
"Hum!"
The magical power transformed into Telekinesis immediately acted on Rozen.
After five years of training, Rozen's Telekinesis has long been pure enough to wrap his body and fly with his mind.
Rozen wantonly squandered his magic power, controlled his body with Telekinesis, and floated in front of the Akabane Clan's gate.
"Fire Rat Summon!"
Rozen summoned the Fire Rat. Bathed in flames, it jumped onto Rozen's shoulder.
Then, Rozen rushed into the Akabane Clan that was burning in a sea of fire.
As soon as the flames that could burn a human body came into contact with Rozen, the Fire Rat's fur on his shoulder flickered and gave him a warm feeling.
With the Fire Rat's protection, the flames would not be able to harm Rozen.
Rozen unscrupulously rushed into the fire and entered the Akabane family.
…
In the end, Rozen faced the same scene he saw in Chaldea's control room.
In other words, Purgatory.
"Bang …"
With a dull thud, the burnt wood fell from the ceiling and rolled to the ground.
Rozen stood in front of the Akabane Clan's gate and saw everything clearly.
There were burning corpses in the fire.
There was blood on the ground that had not yet dried.
The wreckage of puppets was all over the ground.
There were a lot of big holes on the wall, which told Rozen that there were extremely tragic and fierce battles recorded here.
In the face of all this, Rozen couldn't move.
There was no other way.
"You're too late, Narukami."
A familiar and strange voice came into Rozen's ears, so Rozen slowly raised his head and looked ahead.
He saw a handsome man in a kimono was slowly walking out of the depths of the sea of fire in front of him.
Familiar face.
Familiar eyes.
Familiar temperament.
Familiar figure.
"Brother Tian …"
It was Akabane Tenzen.
However, this person who made Rozen feel very familiar, his familiar face, familiar eyes, were hanging strange feelings.
That kind of feeling was called coldness.
That kind of feeling was called sharpness.
What made Rozen feel strange was the thing that followed behind Akabane Tenzen.
They were six young girls dressed in formal attire. Their faces were covered with veils with Chinese characters written on them, and their faces could not be seen clearly. They gave off a mysterious and dangerous feeling.
Six girls followed behind Akabane Tenzen and came out of the sea of fire together.
And in Akabane Tenzen's hand, there was a half-dead boy.
"Raishin!"
Surprisingly, it was Raishin.
"Oh …"
At this time, Raishin seemed to be seriously injured. Not only his body was scorched, but he was also wounded. He could only moan in pain.
For this important brother who had been taken care of in the past, Akabane Tenzen not only carried him like carrying garbage, but also said so.
"I didn't kill him, he doesn't have the value to kill."
Akabane Tenzen said indifferently and directly threw Raishin out.
"Bang!"
Raishin suddenly fell in front of Rozen.
"Puff!"
Raishin spat out a mouthful of blood.
"…!"
Rozen clenched his fists and didn't rush forward.
"… You're really able to endure it." Akabane Tenzen seemed to be surprised, but he also felt that this was the case. He said, "Although you have been very smart since you were a child, I thought that in the face of all this, no matter how smart you are, you will inevitably be impulsive."
Indeed, Rozen now had an impulse to deny everything in front of him.
But …
"No matter how impulsive I am, what will happen will still happen, and nothing can be changed. In that case, why should I be impulsive?"
Rozen said in a low voice as if he had strangled all his emotions.
If he could, of course, Rozen wanted to stop everything in front of him.
But since it already happened, Rozen could only bear it and store his emotions and impulses.
In this way, he could turn them into strength when he needed to vent.
That was Rozen's approach. The more dangerous the situation was, the more he could show his quality and ability.
"You're really something."
Akabane Tenzen only made such a response.
Tendo and Prodigy of the Akabane Clan looked at each other in the sea of fire, one's eyes were full of indifference, and the other's eyes were full of passion.
Then, a brief question and answer began.
"Where is father?"
"His body should be in the fire over there, with everyone in the clan."
"… Did you do all this?"
"Yes."
"… Why?"
"You won't understand."
"… Really?"
"Because you are only interested in your own cultivation, and your vision is too low to see things that are too high."
The two of them had a very straightforward exchange of questions and answers. One killed his own feelings, while the other froze all his feelings.
Then …
"Where is Fuko?"
Rozen asked the last question.
In return, he got such an answer.
"Dead."
Akabane Tenzen said lightly.
"I have dismembered her and used her as a material to make six automatons here."
The six girls behind Akabane Tenzen were all automatons.
Moreover, they were automatons made by Akabane Tenzen himself.
Using his sister's body.
"… Understood."
Rozen lowered his head.
On his body, a huge magical power surged out.
"Woosh!"
