Blood dripped from the Blood Blade in Chiyo's hand. The moment each drop hit the ground, it let out a sizzling corrosive sound.

Anything it touched—soil, trees, or rocks—was scorched!

"Huh?"

Shinji let out a soft exclamation.

There was no doubt about it.

The Blood Blade in Chiyo's hand could change its appearance, length, and other properties at will, making it impossible to guard against. The blood clinging to the blade was no ordinary blood either. It seemed to possess some kind of scorching ability.

If it touched flesh, it would probably cause quite a bit of pain.

His gaze shifted, and Shinji noticed that several lantern-sized fireballs had appeared beside Ryūsetsuna again.

The power of Ryūsetsuna's Fire Release was somewhat beyond his expectations.

"What!?"

Ryūsetsuna froze and instinctively moved to meet Shinji.

In a one-on-one fight, Shinji naturally held
