Bab 119: The Masque of Red Bridle

"God's blessing: The Masque of Red Bridle"

Anticipation filled the air, everyone awaited the outcome what will Francis do. However, time seemed to stand still as the seconds ticked away with no visible result. Confusion settled everyone like a dense fog, for Francis had just said his god's blessing. None of them could fathom what was happening, except for one person - Nishizaka.

As Francis turned, Nishizaka found herself frozen in fear. In the distance, a strange, masked creature was soaring towards them in a blood-red cloak. Nishizaka couldn't make out its features, but the creature's inhumanly long fingers were visible even from afar.
