Crimson Blade

The time began to approach the evening, and the sunset glow at the time of encountering the devil dyed the sky bright red. Sato and Yiyong, who were walking on the street, were planning to meet Feicunren because they couldn't find any clues.

When passing a corner, Satu's peripheral vision passed through the gap between the staggered traffic, and suddenly caught sight of a young man standing at the entrance of a dark alley.

The light and shadow at the entrance of the alley flickered, and the young man's face was pale, and his whole body was hidden in the shadow.

The corners of his mouth were slightly cracked and he smiled at Satu, licking his lips with the tip of his tongue. After attracting Satu's attention, he moved his feet and stepped back into the depths of the alley.

This guy... has a problem!

Attracted by Kamae's strange behavior, Satu's black-gray eyes froze, his right hand rested on the handle of the knife, and the beige feathers on his body moved without wind.

The footsteps that were originally walking on the street were even more paused, and then walked straight towards the alley where Kamae disappeared.

Seeing Satoshi's abnormal movements, Yiyong first glanced around vigilantly, and then looked at his little friend with dark blue eyes full of confusion.

"there's a problem"

As if he knew the meaning in Giyuu's eyes, Satu secretly pointed his finger in another direction, turned his head on the same side and warned Giyuu beside him in a low voice:

"You go around the other side..."

The dark blue eyes moved slightly, and the expressionless Yiyong nodded slightly to express his understanding, and turned around to block the back of the alley in a big circle.

Watching Yiyong's back gradually go away, Satu took a deep breath, tightened his hand holding the handle of the knife, his gray-black eyes flashed a sharp light, and then walked lightly into the darkness of the alley.

The hustle and bustle of people on the street gradually faded away, and the alleys were as quiet as if they were in another world.

As he went deeper into this small alley, Satu, whose eyes were always scanning the surrounding environment, immediately tightened the string of vigilance in his heart, his mouth was tightly pursed, and his breathing gradually became like a rolling wave.

The place is completely shrouded in shadow...

Looking at the small alley that was completely covered by the shadow of the surrounding houses, Sato silently tore off the burlap wrapped around the scabbard, and his suspicions about that weird man grew heavier in his heart.

I'm afraid that guy should have lured me here on purpose~

"woooooooo~"

The wind passed through the alley and made a weeping sound, and the attack mixed with the sound of the wind also came quietly.

The pitch-black chain made a sound of breaking through the air and attacked Satu's back, and a picture scroll in the shadows became blank without a sound. At this time, Satu's ears moved slightly, and his hands quickly put on the knife handle.

"Ding jingle!"

The distance of 50 meters disappeared in an instant, and the sound of the chains colliding became clearly audible.

At the critical moment, seeing that the boy's body was about to be pierced, Satu assumed a posture of drawing his sword, his calf muscles exploded, his body soared into the air, and his toes just stepped on the flying chain.

Not only that, but with the reaction force of the calf kicking upwards, Satu who was in mid-air performed a backflip out of thin air relying on momentum and waist strength.

In an instant, the long hair in the flesh-colored hair fluttered, and the vision in Satu's eyes reversed. A piercing knife light emanated from the scabbard, and the long knife was unsheathed with tumbling waves. Light blue circular knife light.

The chain made of ink was severed by the sharp blade, Satu lightly fell from midair, his eyes turned quickly to scan the surrounding environment, then the long knife lay across his chest, and he quickly stepped back a few steps.

"Whizzing!"

Just half a second after he stepped back, the flesh-colored hair on the sideburns flew up, and the black icy edge made of ink brushed Satu's cheek and hit the wall next to him, bringing up a cloud of smoke and dust.

Although this guy is not as powerful as the scarlet-haired one just now, it is not simple, Kamae hides in the shadow space drawn by his own blood ghost technique and grits his teeth secretly.

He was really unlucky this time, one or two members of the Ghost Killing Squad who came were tough.

However, although I can't kill the scarlet-haired one, I still have a chance with the flesh-colored, medium-long haired one.

Relying on the remaining self-confidence, Kamae waved his hand in the shadow space, and the scroll floating beside him unfolded, and the pattern seemed to be alive and peeled out from the scroll to attack Satu.

"Ding ding dong!"

Moving his body in the narrow alley, Satu swung the long knife in his hand and swiftly resisted various ice edges or chains flying towards him.

These attacks are actually made of ink, not only in different shapes, but also give me an endless feeling.

Because of the rapid movement of the body, phantoms were left on the spot. There was a trace of worry in Satu's eyes, and the long knife rolled down in his hand defeated all attacks in an instant with light blue water.

The frontal attack was defeated, but dark shadows lurked at Sabito's feet in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to move. Sabito, who didn't know it, accidentally stepped into the trap while avoiding the attack.

Oops!

Sensing the strange touch on the soles of his feet, Sato thumped in his heart, but the moment he stepped on the black thorns turned into black thorns, they showed ferocious fangs and entangled his ankles fiercely.

Off-white feathers flew up, Satu's face was stern, and the blade of the spray was pointed at the thorns, but in an instant, the black thorns were defeated and turned into a pool of ink.

Blood oozed from the ankle, and the injured Sato staggered involuntarily, and his figure paused for a moment.

good chance!

The light blue eyes were bright, and the anxious Kamae seized the pause, and countless thorny vines grew out of the shadows out of thin air, trying to take this opportunity to penetrate Satu's body.

But he forgot one thing, and that was that Satoshi never fought alone.

"Tap Tap!"

Footsteps sounded, and the silver-white knife light flashed, and Yoshiyuki's tied black hair was raised slightly because of his excessive speed, and the long knife with waves crossed Satu to meet the vines made of ink.

"bass!"

The clear chirping of the knife sounded, and the vine broke into several pieces in response, and his footsteps stomped heavily on the ground. Yiyong stopped in front of Satu with the knife in his hand, and while he was vigilant for the next attack, he tilted his head and asked in a low voice:

"Are you okay?"

"The movement may have a slight impact, but it's not a big problem."

Feeling the bleeding ankle, Sato's tone was very calm, and his eyes were vaguely fixed on a shadow in the alley.

The attack just now seems to have been flying from that direction...

Gently tugging on Yiyong's cuff in front of him with his hand, looking at the slightly turned face of his little friend, Sato calmly indicated with his eyes the direction of the shadow.

Did you see, there seems to be a problem over there, pay attention later, it probably means this in Satu's slightly twitching eyes.

Where is the problem?Want me to be aggressive?

After understanding and slightly distorting the meaning of his little friend, Giyuu's dark blue eyes first glanced at Saitu's ankle, and then took the burden of proactive attack on himself with a blank expression on his face.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and the serious face of Yiyong stomped heavily on the ground, and his body rushed towards the direction that was said to be problematic.

???

Seeing Yiyong suddenly rushing straight in that direction, Sato was stunned for a moment, and then stretched out his hand slowly to grab his little friend.

Wait, I just want you to pay attention during the battle, why are you being attacked by rushing like this... Ah!The words in his heart could still be spoken, and Sato was smeared by the evil ghost who ran out of the shadows.

"How did you find out...!!!"

Seeing Giyuu coming straight to his hiding place, Kamae, who thought he had been discovered and ran out of the shadows, was about to question him viciously, but when he raised his head and caught sight of the oncoming cold sword light.

At this time, the sky had already darkened during the battle, and the moon hung in the sky, casting cold moonlight.

And Yiyong, who ran fast and increased his strength by spinning, was dressed in bright moonlight, and slashed towards Kamame with streams of water condensed by the light of the knife.

Breathing of Water · Picking up Shapes · Life and Flow

Although he is reckless, he will not take it lightly when fighting.

Seeing the black-haired boy coming in the moonlight, Kamae's mouth was split open, his eyes widened slightly and he said:

"It's so beautiful!"

"It seems that you are also a good material for making paintings!"

While speaking, he summoned a wall of earth with a wave of his left hand to resist Yiyong's attack. The thorns turned into ink in his right hand were entwined, and he wanted to sneak attack at the moment when Yiyong's knife cut on the earth wall.

The extremely excited Kamae planned well, but he forgot the existence of Sato, and also miscalculated Giyuu's strength.

The water flow with waves only paused for a moment when it touched the earth wall, and the next second it penetrated the earth wall and attacked the front of Kamae, while Sato, who was ignored on the other side, also took the opportunity to rush forward A flat cut solves the thorns that want to sneak attack.

Because the distance was too close and he was too conceited, Kamae had no choice but to dodge the attack with one hand, and then roared with a distorted face due to pain:

"You guys dare to hurt me!"

The earth wall rose and was crushed, but it barely bought time for Kamae to retreat, and Giyuu and Sato, who missed the best moment of attack, stopped in place, with the knife in their hands in front of them, their eyes wary. Watching Kamae's every move.

"I don't know where the self-confidence comes from you stupid..."

Seeing Kamae not daring to fight in close quarters, Sato, who kept his eyes on the opponent, had an idea and began to test the enemy with words.

"When hiding in the shadows, you will only attack from one direction. Even if you are forced to reveal your whereabouts, you will not dare to fight head-on."

"I don't think you can only control various long-range attacks, but you can't do close combat at all?"

Sato's words directly hit the weakness that had been hidden all along, Kamae's expression changed and he felt a little guilty.

Because compared to other ghosts who are good at melee combat, he is more like a mage. Not only does blood ghost art focus on long-range attacks, but his physical strength is far inferior to other ghosts.

In addition, he has just become a ghost not long ago, and the picture scrolls stored by the blood ghost technique are not enough...

So let's run!

Looking at the two guys in front of him whose strength was not as strong as Zhu, but clearly surpassed the average members of the Demon Slayer Squad, Kamae began to back away secretly, feeling a little guilty in his heart.

"I said, it's fine if you just said that I was Juju and ran away, but why do you want to run away from Sato and Giyuu now?"

A familiar boy's voice sounded, and Kamae, who was retreating, trembled in fright, then raised his head stiffly and saw the familiar scarlet single ponytail.
