Chapter 107: Seeking Death
*Step, step, step.*
With stiff movements, the white man—no, the reanimated corpse—strode coldly down the hotel corridor.
Its vacant gaze swept over the surrounding rooms until it fixated on one. Extending a pale hand, it grasped the doorknob.
*Click, clack, snap.*
A twisted crack echoed as the knob broke off. Without a flicker of emotion, the corpse pushed open the door and stepped inside.

The air was a little too quiet.
Too quiet, which made it feel unnatural.
"...Oh, Anson."
The physical therapist who had just entered took one look at the scene before her. As long as her eyes were working, she could sense the subtle tension floating in the air.
But she couldn’t stop herself in time and the words slipped out.
Anson turned his head, pretending to be calm.

Sunfyre moved with agility, breaking through the Dragonkeepers blocking its way and ramming into Moondancer.
“Screech!”
Caught off guard, Moondancer was knocked to the ground, and in an instant, the smaller Sunfyre leapt on top.
Sunfyre’s vicious temperament took over. Once it gained the upper hand, it immediately lunged for Moondancer’s neck, attempting to tear out a large chunk of f...

Seimei locked onto him as his target, determined to disrupt the ritual.
Whoosh!
A cold glint flashed.
With a flick of his right hand, a kunai slipped from his sleeve and into his palm.
Then, like a bolt of lightning, he slashed toward his opponent’s throat.

Deep within Takigakure, in a hidden location, Seimei's figure quietly appeared.
