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

Chapter 3 (Part 2)

The <Kiju> research was progressing at an amazing pace. Among this, he often produced the best results.

Even if Saitou was equipped with the <Kiji>, he could still win– he came to such a conclusion.

"Take out your <Kiju> weapons. You have it anyway, right?"

"No. That is not good for the body."

"Then you came empty-handed?"

"Yeah."

"You were forgetful or careless?"

"Really?  I, on the other hand, feel that I could defeat you with my bare fists. The you who cannot give up your weakness."

"I will make you regret for being so pompous!"

Guren raised his sword high.

He stepped forward.

It was so fast that Saitou could not react in time. He swung the sword laterally. Saitou's lower body should be severed.

Yet,

"Hmm?"

It felt as if the cut didn't go through,

Saitou leaped with astounding speed and stood on the ceiling. He had a relaxed smile as he looked at Guren languidly.

His movements today were on a whole different level.

"Aiya, please make me regret."

Guren attacked him.

But his blade still did not hit. It was not just this. Saitou's entire body disappeared.

The only thing he could feel was a killing aura coming his back.

"Damn!"

He turned around to attack. Saitou's neck was at the tip of his blade. Even though he felt that he could finally decapitate him this time, the blow still felt like it did not hit. Saitou backtracked and avoided him.

"Eh, you still could not hit me."

Chains flew from Saitou's chest. 2 of them. The movements remained slow. Guren broke the chains with his blade. Saitou disappeared again.

His movements did not even seem like it was from the same person.

Even though the sounds he made as he kicked the ceiling and the walls could be heard, his movements could not be seen at all.

Something sounded from behind him.

Guren raised his sword again towards the origin of the sound– however, Shigure was positioned where his blade was projected to cut.

"WHAT!?"

Guren used all his might to stop the blade.

But it did not stop.

"NOYA!"

Guren screamed.

Ordered the Oni to stop.

But it still did not stop.

He willed all the muscles in his body to stop the blade. Finally, he managed to change the course of the blade. Despite so, it was only a slight change–

He cut Shigure's left arm. It was sliced off easily and was sent flying. Being in a comatose state, she did not howl in pain.

But the arm went flying.

He, sliced off his friend's arm.

Blood splattered everywhere.

Blood splattered everywhere.
