Time stood still.
Kanzaki remained where she was, one hand resting on the hilt of the Commanding Sword at her waist, maintaining her sword-drawing stance as she stared straight ahead.
There, Fang Li, blood spraying from his body, seemed to be moving in slow motion as he slowly flew backward.
(It's over...)
Kanzaki silently said it to herself once more.
Yet instead of feeling even the slightest joy, her heart felt somewhat heavy.
