After the girl disappear into the horde group... Kazuya mind began to tense...

"Crap.... what the heck just happened"

"What in the world was that"?

A lot question began to fill Kazuya head. But deep down he felt relieve as at the moment that young girl saw him, he felt extreme dangerous.... and his body stiffen and profuse cold sweat coming out through his pore.

Soon after the young girl disappearance, Kazuya proceed down from the hill and head to the north hill to find possible exit.

He brandish his Wakizashi and quickly tread through the cemetery.

But then when he suddenly passes a big Graves.... A whitish transparent figure leap in front him.

The whitish transparent figure(Ghost) is as the Reaper before albeit different in weaponry and appearance.

The whitish figure then start to descend to the ground and become whitish opaque.

The sword that he is holding become materialize into bloody rusted sword.

A whitish eyes gazing upon Kazuya.

The Ghost groan but to Kazuya surprise he understand the groans.

"Human!!... duel me with your soul as the bet!!"

"If you win, i will become the nurture of your soul!!"

Kazuya flabbergasted at the essence of the conversation.

but seeing that the ghost is able to converse, Kazuya decide to reason with him.

He shout at the Ghost.

"Wait.... Wait...Stop... Let us not fight... I do not want to fight you!!"

"Let us have a nice conversation.. and you tell me what are you and where are you coming from!!... ok?"

The ghost just stare blankly at Kazuya while groaning gimereshly.

"Human!!... Fight with me!!... i need to gather more strength before the times round out!!"

hearing that, Kazuya perplexed.

"His mind began to think about what the ghost said -time is running out?-"

but just before the thought sinks in the ghost attacked again.

Kazuya hastily holds his Wakizashi and thankfully he was able to block the ghost first attack....

surprisingly after the first strike the Ghost stride back and close his eyes... then he went back striking Kazuya....

After a few a bout, Kazuya are able to block the rusted swords but then he slips and the swords are going for his torso when the ghost suddenly change his swords trajectory and clash with his Wakizashi...

The ghost increased his swords speed and at one point Kazuya was overwhelmed by the skill of the ghost and lost track of how many times he would died under the ghost swords...

But surprisingly whenever the ghost sword was about to hit him, the swords changes its direction and clash with his Wakizashi...

After a few minutes bout, the Ghost jump back.

Kazuya was so tired he felt half knee to the ground panting....

When he look back at the ghost surprisingly.. the ghost smile but speak no more.

Then the Ghost lift up his swords preparing for another strike.

Kazuya still confuse but the ghost does not give him a leeway to think through

The ghost flash forward and brandish his sword downward trying to hack Kazuya body in half.

Kazuya with its low energy release his Wakizashi and pulls his katana with the scabbard and try to block the sword overhead him.

When suddenly the ghost start to translucent and disappear at the touch of the ghost rusted sword and Kazuya katana.

The last thing he hear from the Ghost was a small laughter.

Then the surrounding become normal again.

Kazuya felt really confuse as this is his 2nd times almost losing his life here.

But surprisingly he is still alive and the ghost disappear with a laugh..

he look at surrounding vigilant towards the sudden appearance of the ghost but after a few minutes, nothing has happened.

With relatively lack of times, Kazuya began towards the north wall where he saw a catacomb of large proportion popping out from the wall.

The catacomb was translucent green with some chain embedded to the wall... surprisingly the embedded chain does not break or damage the wall but sink into the wall like a glitch wall in the game.

Then Kazuya take a long run parallel to the wall searching for any exit door or hole that fit him.

But unfortunately he didn't found any as the wall was solid firm to the ground without any sign of damage. And there is no exit as the entrance and exit was at the same places in this cemetery.

What is left is the weird Catacomb in front of him that have a pathway through the wall but there is no immediate sign of exit as morning sun cannot penetrate through the pathway.

Kazuya ponder on his option.. He could search ways to climb the wall but if anything happened and he broke his leg that will be tragic and might end his life.

Another option was he could go back to the entrance and by relying the zombies lack of sensation he might slip through the horde but he abandoned the plan as he does not know what the girls might be and if she is hostile to him and that will be even more tragic.

So what is left is the Catacombs... by the look of its external figure... Kazuya conclude that this might be where the ghost coming from.

But again this route reek dangerous aura.

The Sword Ghost and the GLR were all dangerous entities that can kill him.

Now Kazuya perplexed. Going East he might be eaten alive by those zombies or the dangerous girls.

Going up he might fall and crippled and eventually die.

Going to the Catacomb also might cause him his life.

When Kazuya still ponder regarding his situation, the Pro and Cons of the option and thinking of the other option. When suddenly he felt that he must choose to go to the catacombs like something calling to him.

Unknowingly he went inside the catacomb and when he was awake from the unknown hypnosis.

He already deep inside and the exit was nowhere to be found.....

"Ohhhhh Shit.... I got hypnotized?"

Kazuya look around for more info and the sight of the exit but still he cant find it.

The wall is blackish with green orb sitting on to column that was set at an interval.

The green orb emit green light that lights up the surrounding but make the situation look gloomy and creepy.

Kazuya walk ahead when he saw some decapitated weird 4 leg creature.

Upon closer look... he can identify the creature features of exposed brain and muscle with elongated tongue. The Licker from the Resident Evil Franchise.

But what baffled him is that the Licker was decapitated into half.

Kazuya got a goosebumps all over his body and his awareness heightened as he scan his surrounding if there is more of them inside...

He walk slowly into a direction as he didn't not know if going the right direction.

He curious of the unknown but now he is quite fearful of it. But in this situation he left with no other choice.... along the way he tried to search for clues.

And he found more of the dead Licker Bodies.

He walk and walk some more till he felt he had walk for eternity and the scenery still not changing.

He become a bit flustered as he began to suspect he went into a limitless Genjutsu.

But after a while that thought disappear as he reached inside a Large Hall.

Not far from him was a throne laden with green Lapis Lazuli that is really captivating to his eyes.

He look at the surrounding and notice that the hall was empty but was quite bright compared to the hallway he was before.

He approach the throne to better inspect it and to search for clues when he heard groan from his back.

Kazuya instinctively throw his Wakizashi at his back towards the sound as he was familiar with. That groaning. The Ghost!!.

The Wakizashi beautifully strike the figure and groan become coarser as the Wakizashi stuck to the torso of the ghost.

Kazuya was quite surprise at his success but his face grimaced as when he look around as there is hundreds or even thousand ghost surrounding him in circle.

The ghost that being struck by his sword start to grow dimmer and disappear. The Wakizashi then fall and metallic sound resounding the area beating the sound of groaning of the ghost for a brief of moment.

As Kazuya unfasten his Katana and ready to fight to the end.

One of the ghost pick up the Wakizashi and going to Kazuya.

Kazuya got tensed and ready his Katana and his stance.

but just before Kazuya going to slash his katana, the Ghost make a sudden change in its pathway ignoring Kazuya and going to the throne..

Other ghost seemingly does not care about Kazuya and more focus on the Ghost that hold onto the Wakizashi.

In Kazuya mind he had already screaming

"What the heck is going on here?"

As if the ghost can hear Kazuya inner thought screaming... one of the ghost look at Kazuya and place his translucent hand towards his mouth asking him to be silent.....

Kazuya tsukkomied at the ghost reaction.

Then the ghost turn his head back towards the event that is going on.

Kazuya look around and saw all the ghost eagerly watching the ghost as if a celebrity passing by through the airport hall.

Kazuya knitted his eyebrow...

"What the heck??.... Does that ghost is their boss?? but why like the ghost is not looking after that ghost instead at my Wakizashi?"

"Is my Wakizashi is a really epic inheritance worshipped by the Ghost communities?"

"Is my Wakizashi is a divine ghost relic that they have been searching for eons?"

"But if that so.. then why the heck that ghost want to kill me earlier?"

"But wait a minute does that ghost wish to steal the Wakizashi and going to be a king of this ghost through it?"

"And that ghost is an outcast ghost that deem worthless by this other ghost?"

" And he discover me holding this divine sword and wish to steal it to me?"

With more and more theories build up inside Kazuya head.... all were even more confused.

Then while he was busy with his mind the Ghost place the Wakizashi on the throne.

Then something magical happened.

All the light orbs above the hall turns into green fire and all the green fire converge into the throne and create a typhoon of green flame centering the throne.

Then Kazuya saw the thing.
