Description:
RIVERS WILL RUN RED WITH BLOOD


When the undead warrior SHIBITO appears, sword in hand, his face a stone mask of woeful despair. By his side is the pharmacist KINZOU, who's been tasked with guiding Shibito through the realm of the living until such time as the warrior's mind and body have completely melded as one.

But their mission of bloody conquest is interrupted when they encounter a small band of pilgrims who've become the targets of bloodthirsty bandits, and even Shibito's unliving heart cannot deny its righteous anger when confronted with the sight of butchered children.

Will the man-monster put aside his agenda of conquest and despair long enough to help them? And are the pilgrims better off with the devils they know or this newfound ally stitched together from the body parts of a dozen corpses?
