บท 626: Phantoms

The central spatial pocket of the Martial Gods wasn't the same as the one the Tatsuya Clan had called home. With much of the Shrine Plane sealed, that location was closed off to the Martial Gods. As such, they could only choose a different location. Ryu wasn't very surprised to find that this chosen location was where the former Ventus Clan called home. 

Ryu had quite some history with the Ventus Clan. During his thousandth birthday party, it was Gale Ventus—the young man Mistress Holy Wing had chosen to be Elena's first 'partner'—that had challenged him to a match. 

Thanks to this, Ryu had been able to gain the Northern Heavenly Wind Embryo while also putting Gale in his place. 

At this moment, Ryu stood a step behind the Overseer who had basically forced him beneath his wing. Apparently, this old man went by the name of Overseer Eudo.
