The light within the cave flickered on and off, and only when it brightened did they realize that those exchanging words beside the blood-red cocoon were not the bodies of the Ran'ei Divine Master and others.
Instead, they were Tengu of various forms.
They had differentiated from the Blood Vessels distributed around them.
Each of them was a part of the Tengu Divine Master, sharing memories, emotions, and power.
"Hurry up, I can't wait to shred that traitor."
"He is not the focus, he never has been."
"If he's not, then who is?"

"Roger? Who's Roger?"
"Oh... it's that guy who's always causing trouble for Ran'ei."
"Get out of my head," Ran'ei Divine Master snorted coldly.
"What do you mean 'your head'?"
"Our emotions and memories are connected, I've said before what's yours is mine, and mine is naturally yours."
"Haha, I just found out, it turns out you suffered such a big loss, getting stepped on by that guy."
