The sound of horseshoes pounding the snow-covered ground as two horsemen followed a bear rang in the forest path.
They didn't even go too far when there was no more sight of snow. Instead, the trees opened up to a massive swampland that stretched as far as the eyes could see.
There were interconnecting wooden bridges built just above the swamp, and the houses here were so few he could barely count ten. Each of them was built above the swamp. Ken doubted the occupants were still alive.
He and Asahi spotted the Two Faced Lady running on the swamp.
"She can't move underground anymore." Ken unsheathed his katana and gave chase. Both he and his summon, Asahi, kicked their horses as they ran on the wooden bridges at great speed.
The large gap that the Two Faced Lady had between them shrank in a matter of seconds. Asahi pulled out his three-meter-long bow, took an arrow from his quiver, and drew it.
