While everyone in the night attack was wandering around the imperial capital, looking for Zank and avoiding the guards, the beheading madman Zank was standing on the top of a bell tower, using his imperial equipment to observe the people below.
"Happy, happy. I didn't expect that not only the security guard, but also the killer appeared. So, which head should I start from... Hey, there is such a young girl here."
The scene in the Teigu turned to where Shen Fu was. Beatrice looked to be eight or nine years old at most. It was unimaginable that she would appear on the street at such a late hour.
Suddenly, Reinhardt seemed to have discovered something. He raised his head and looked up at the sky, and the terrifying sword energy shot rapidly along his eyes.
"puff--"
Just one look caused blood to flow from the corners of Zank's mouth as if he had been hit hard, and his expression was both frightened and excited.
"Interesting, interesting. You can actually spot me from such a distance, and you have those extremely sharp eyes. I didn't expect that there is such a strong person in the world. It's so pleasant! Then, let's start with the partner who is farthest from you!"
Putting a hand on his forehead, a ferocious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Just as Shen Fu expected, there was no word escape in Zanke's dictionary.
"Did you find anything?"
Shen Fu looked at Reinhardt. He had not yet reached the level of being able to detect other people's gazes, unless it was from a very long distance that allowed him to feel dangerous attacks.
"Someone's gaze came over just now...it was extremely twisted. It must be the beheading madman."
It was a pity for Reinhardt. The distance was too far and he was observing through the Teigu. His sword intention could only cause minor injuries to the opponent at most.
The corner of Shen Fu's mouth twitched. Every time he saw Reinhardt taking action, he felt like he was refreshing his knowledge.
"We can just wait here... But in this way, no matter how twisted the other party is, they won't come to us. Harut, you should have pretended."
He shook his head helplessly. This sword master was still less sinister. A sword master who was not sinister was not a good sword master.
On the other side, Zank has determined his target, which is the combination of Leonai and Hill!
"Hey, Hill, how are you practicing your swordsmanship? Otherwise, if you meet someone later, you'd better let me do it."
Leonai looked at Hill with some worry. After all, her Teigu was seriously damaged. Even if she switched to practicing swordsmanship, she wouldn't have much time. In her opinion, her strength was much less than before.
"Huh? Is that so? Okay, but just ask me if you need my help."
Hill touched the half scissor on her shoulder in a silly manner. She actually didn't know much about her own strength, but Master Reinhardt seemed to have said that she could beat Leonai? Really, I can’t remember clearly.
"Hill——"
Um? Hill turned slightly and saw a girl with two buns on her hair, wearing a red bra and hot pants at the entrance of a nearby street.
"Gina?"
This girl was Hill's former best friend. Hill killed her first time to save her, but they never saw each other again after that.
Gina smiled at her and waved, just like when she came to play with her before, then turned and ran into the alley.
"Wait for me, Gina!"
Hill didn't think much at all and ran two steps to follow. After a while, Leonai turned around and suddenly realized that Hill was missing.
"No way, maybe you got lost... Oops! Hill, you idiot!"
Leonai was really anxious all of a sudden. She remembered what Shen Fu said that the opponent's Teigu had the ability to create illusions, and it was very likely that he would use this to lure them apart... She was originally wary. You shouldn't be tricked in the future, but Hill is a natural idiot!
"Gina, have you come to play with me again? But I have some things to do now, so I may have to wait until next time."
After Hill chased for a certain distance, Gina finally stopped in his eyes and took a few breaths. She did not forget that she was on a mission, and she chased after her just to tell the other party.
"Haha, since you're all here, come and play with me, why bother leaving in a hurry."
Suddenly, the Gina in front of him turned into an uncle wearing a big trench coat with a sinister smile on his face. Hill blinked, as if he didn't realize what happened.
"...It's so strange, so strange, that I can't see what you are thinking. It seems that I just picked a target at random, and I seem to have won the lottery, but -"
His hands suddenly intertwined, and the broad and sharp Hidden Sword was shot out. His Teigu has the ability to understand what the other person is thinking by seeing their expression, but obviously, this ability is of no use to Hill, because Xi I didn't think about anything.
"——I don't just have the ability to see. Come on! Let me see your movements clearly!"
"..."
Hill touched his lips with his finger and was stunned for a while before he slowly came to his senses.
"It seems like an enemy, so I'm sorry."
Slowly taking off the "big sword" from his shoulder, holding the handle with both hands, he rushed toward the opponent in a dragging posture, getting faster and faster.
"Wow, I finally see it clearly, so happy!"
He just dodged and easily dodged Hill's slash.
"Although I still can't see clearly what's in your heart, have you let your mind go? However, my Teigu can predict your future movements, so... step hard to the right, draw the sword and slash, and then draw Flirting! Hahaha! Impossible, impossible, you can’t hit me!"
While effortlessly dodging Hill's attacks, he rattled off the opponent's next move, decapitating the madman Zanke, enjoying the battle process, enjoying the opponent's helpless struggle step by step and finally being beheaded by him. Confused expression.
"sulfuric acid--!"
When another attack was easily dodged and a deep crack was created on the ground, Hill stood up and distanced himself.
"Haha, don't you want to continue attacking? Do you think I'm cheating? It's against each other. Your big sword feels like it can easily cut off my hidden blade."
With a ferocious smile, he crossed the thick hidden swords in his hands and made a metallic collision sound. Zanke just simply avoided it, because judging from the destructive power of Hill's weapon hitting the ground, his weapon could not stop the big sword. s attack.
"Master once said that when you are technically no match for your opponent, try to concentrate all your strength... and kill the enemy with one strike."
Hill murmured what Reinhardt had said, and changed his grip of the sword hilt vertically to horizontally on his waist. He squatted slightly, with the tip of the sword facing the ground behind him. In this position, if Shen Fu was here, he would be able to Recognize it, it is a combat skill!
