Soul Buster

Wounded prey.

Shuuyu!

Where are you?

A beast approaches.

Shuuyu!

A violent man.

Sh-Shuuyu!

Stop it!

Don't!

Seems you're awake now.

You passed out from running out of spiritual energy.

You need to think a little more about how you use it.

Next time, you'll die.

What happened to Shuuyu?

She's fine, for now.

She was hit with an unusual attack.

That's all I can say for now,

until I show it to my grandfather in the Southern Palace.

Grandfather?

Wait, where's your Shuusou?

I turned him back into a card.

I need to build all the spiritual power I can get right now.

We could be attacked at any moment.

Are we being followed?

Do you think Hakuanshi would let us go so easily otherwise?

That's right.

He knows we're heading for the Southern Palace...

What is he after?

Why is the Southern Palace so important to him?

There's something in the palace he needs to revive the Kan Dynasty.

That's what he and his people are after.

Then we can't go straight there.

But if we don't hurry, then Shuuyu...

Wait, where are we?

Outside the suburbs south of the school.

Then...

Where are you going?

Just come with me.

He can move already?

That means his spiritual power is still...

Why are you wasting so much time?

Haven't you found the Southern Palace yet?

Don't worry.

I have someone following them now.

It should only be a matter of time before we find it.

The revival of the dynasty is dependent on this.

Find it as soon as you can.

Before Suikyou interferes again.

Your majesty, if you get excited you'll just waste your spiritual energy.

It's not good for your heart.

What happened to the one who found my heart?

I thought he was just small-fry,

but he has powerful spiritual energy.

We can bring him over to—

No need.

We have all the pawns we need.

Capture him and bring him to me right away.

I need more spiritual energy... more sacrifices!

As you wish.

Kayuu.

Bring his majesty our offering.

I've been waiting.

Now bring him here.

Wh-Who are you?

Where am I?

This way!

This is a bad neighborhood, if I remember right.

It's got a lot of narrow alleyways,

so it's perfect for losing pursuers.

But I can't guarantee your safety.

Why not worry about yourself?

Now let's go.

There's no time to think about it.

R-Right...

Did you see that?

This way!

Is someone leading us somewhere?

Yeah.

But we don't have a choice but to keep going.

Stop.

If you want to cross that line,

you'll have to pay the toll.

This bridge is only for Yellow Scarves.

Is he the one after us?

He's probably someone different.

The toll is... hmm...

Everything both of you have on you, I suppose?

We don't have time to play stupid games.

Wow, you're certainly rude.

We're in a hurry.

Please, let us through.

You'd do better to just pay.

It hurts, getting punched.
