Herald of the Night Sword

"No matter what he did or where he went, he couldn’t escape its horrifying, hateful gaze."


Victims around the city are being haunted and tormented every night by the disembodied skull of a deceased foreigner. And the skull seems to know exactly who they are and “what they’ve done.” What does it mean?


One of the victims comes to the Night Sword Detective for help, but something seems strange about him and the whole case…


At least one of them is harboring a secret. A secret that’ll turn the detective’s entire world upside-down and place him and the girl he loves in inescapable danger.


HERALD OF THE NIGHT SWORD is the second episode of the first season of The Night Sword Detective, a paranormal investigation series that deals with terrifying creatures from Japanese myths and legends.


CAUTION: this story contains mild spoilers for “The Soulbound Sacrifice (Demi-Girl: The Last Aeon #4),” so it is recommended—but not essential—that you read that book before starting this one.
