The Story:
Since ancient days it's been said that Kuruda is a land which is easy to defend and impossible to attack. Its palace is situated on an island, surrounded by a jagged mountain range which keeps the fiercest of enemies from piercing the stronghold. And yet even now a massive army from neighboring Solfan prepares to launch an attack on Kuruda, seeking to put an end to its 2000 year history. In the midst of it all stands Len Fuma, a bloodthirsty madman versed in the mysterious and powerful “Ying” style. Responsible for the deaths of most of the holy nation's legendary warriors, Len now sets his sights on our gang of heroes. With Elle away on a suicide mission of her own, it falls on Gau to take the final step in his evolution to Sevalle: to embrace the purity of a beast. But with Diaz's death on his shoulders and a profound empathy for his enemy in his heart, can Gau ever truly shed his humanity? Or will the annihilation of the Holy Nation finally come true? It all comes to a thrilling conclusion in this final installment of Shadow Skill!
