Eternal life is then promised to him if he finds the chosen one, the "Sacred Blood", and offers it as a sacrifice to this powerful god. The hunt is open! But to act Akuma needs the Sisters of the Shadow. Who are they? Where are they? Where are they? How will he join and bow to his will of beings infinitely superior to him? Are they not finally only a legend?...Furiko, the most formidable of them, will be the first to manifest himself!
