"Damn it, how did it turn out like this?"
Edward flew through the air as the spheres surrounding his mech puppet aimed at the enemies from the Land of Shadow ahead and fired white beams.
Whether they struck people or the ground, the white beams transformed into Alchemy Arrays that activated and altered everything.
Just then.
A massive Golden Infant Bug rampaged through the crowd and charged straight at Edward.
"Damn it, what kind of monster is this?!"
Edward could only redirect his attacks, firing them all at the Golden Infant Bug.
"Oh, a scientist?" Mayuri Kurotsuchi stood atop the Golden Infant Bug, studying Edward with great interest.
"This guy..."
Edward frowned deeply.
He sensed danger.
Hawkeye swung his massive blade down hard at Sakumo Hatake.
Sakumo Hatake swiftly drew the short sword from his back, barely managing to block the attack.
"Tell me, do you really have to keep targeting me?" Sakumo Hatake looked utterly helpless.
Whenever Hawkeye had nothing better to do, he wanted to spar with him.
Sakumo Hatake had always refused.
But now, Hawkeye had truly found his chance.
"War naturally requires conflict." Hawkeye's sharp eyes fixed on Sakumo Hatake, though a faint smile rested on his face. "I've wanted to fight you at full strength again for a long time."
Sakumo Hatake sighed helplessly. "You should really go to the arena next door. Everyone there is battle-crazy. They use their fists, but I think you'd fit in quite well."
Hawkeye sneered, completely ignoring Sakumo Hatake's nonsense as he began swinging his great blade.
His strength was no longer comparable to what it had once been. It would not be so easy for Sakumo Hatake to defeat him as he had last time.
The two instantly became entangled in battle, their sharp Zanjutsu clashing without end.
