Yukashika stood gracefully overlooking the mountains. He looks at Rono Hiyuki and says,

"Should I start the assault now?"

Rono says gravely,

"Yukashika-sama, you are only at 1/4th of your current strength you were at back then, not even you could beat this generation of syneji artists."

Yukashika says calmly,

"I know, I've been trying to get stronger. I came across the divine ritual: undying soul. This is only the first stage of my plan."

Rono says with a grin,

"When will the extermination begin?"

Yukashika grins as well,

"Most likely a year or two from now, I'd like to be at least half my strength by then. The engraving of my syenji should allow me to get nearly my full strength. Then the rest of this generation will be easy pickings.

Rono says,

"I hope you know what you're up against; you should stop underestimating them so much."

Yukashika glares,

"You think this generation stands a chance against me? It's nothing like the Okina generation."

Rono frowns,

"Sorry, Yukashika-sama, perhaps I'm the one underestimating."

Yukashika then says,

"Well, have you found the location for your divine ritual: soul feeder?"

"No, but I have a general idea of the location."

"I find it imperative that you find it in the next several months, then the 'blood day' can begin."

Yuikashika stretches and stands up,

"I guess I'll start training tomorrow, 1-2 years of training, and your divine ritual should get me to about half strength. The rest is up to me."

Rono stands up and glares and Yukashika, saying, 

"Let me test your current strength."

He then bolts, and Yukashika sends a powerful jab, only for Yukashika to narrowly evade. Rono sends a front kick towards Yukashika, Yukashika grabs his leg, then throws up across the room. Rono gets up and says,

"So you aren't too dulled."
