Owari No Seraph-Ichinose Guren, 16-sai no Catastrophe Volume 5 & 6

Chapter 5(Part 3)

As Guren shouted, he took a big step forward. Before swinging his blade at the vampire.

He unsheathed his sword swiftly before attacking with enhanced speed. Guren probably never had such speed before.

It was an attack he was proud of.

To top it off, the vampire was not aware of this side. She was only perching on the broken window and ascertaining the situation in the room.

Thus, Guren felt that this attack might be lethal. Chop off her head–

".....What's this, you guys are quite fast."

The vampire looked at Guren's blade. She opened her mouth. She lifted and tilted her head a little.

Afterwards, she halted his blade with fanged mouth.

"What."

The blade did not move. He wanted to shift the blade with all his strength and slice towards her mouth. But it could not be moved at all.

The vampire was stronger.

That moment, Guren understood. There was still a power difference resembling that between a lion and a baby.

Despite so, this should not have happened. He should be strong enough. No, humans even devoured Onis, they should be abnormally strong now.

However, there was still such a big difference?

The difference in power even felt like the one they experienced when, at Hikarigaoka Park, he and Shinya were escaping from the vampire.

An entity which cannot be touched by humans.

An entity which humans cannot approach.

An oppressive superior.

No, predator.

Behind him, Shinya said,

"The Tenka Battle Formation! For the current us, with this difference in manpower, we can win...."

However, Guren interrupted him and shouted.

"Use the Sekiou Formation instead!" (note: 舍王 was the original name of the formation, unsure if sekiou is the right translation.)

"....Eh"

Hearing that, Shinya fell silent. Everyone gasped in shock. Sekiou was a formation that sacrificed one person to be the bait. It dictated that they retreat while attacking, a formation that allowed them to escape.

Just then, Mito, Goshi and Shinya understood the current situation.

Understood that the enemy were so strong that equipped with merely these novel <Kiju> weapons was not enough for them to defeat her.

Guren could hear three of them retreating a step back.

However, the message to retreat was not received by Shigure and Sayuri. Sekiou was a jargon used by the Hiragis in their book of sorcery. <Mikado no Tsuki> had others terms.

Therefore, they loyally maintained the Tenka Formation. –No, using the terms Guren and <Mikado no Tsuki> commonly use, this was a move typical of <Mikado no Tsuki>.

The two of them emerged from behind Guren and swung their blades towards the vampire.

Their moves abnormally fast.

It was sped up due to the <Kiju>. Now, this was no longer the movement of a human.

Despite so, the vampires' scarlet pupils responded to the two swords and she moved her arms.
