Half a month ago, a series of murders began in Nara City. Every night, a decapitated corpse would be found on the streets. For half a month, not a single day had been missed. The scene was heavy with traces of Source Substance, leaving no doubt that it was the work of Sublimators.
Counting today, sixteen heads had been chopped off.
There was no pattern to the identities of the deceased.
There were ordinary office workers, Sublimators, and even an attendant of a Court Official...but the end was undoubtedly the same, their necks severed with the same precise beheading technique.
They were granted a swift death, and then the killer turned and left without a trace, not giving the pursuers any clues to follow.
Vanishing mysteriously into the night.
Leaving behind nothing but a gruesome scene and utter mockery.
Horn Mountain bowed his head in shame. "I am useless. I am one step too late again."
He was so close to catching that person's trail.
