The final scene of the Sekiro dungeon.
The wind swept through the white reed marsh, making a soft rustling sound.
Jiang Qiu, president of the Longsword Guild, gripped Kusabimaru tightly with both hands, her chest rising and falling slightly.
This dungeon was seriously insane...
The run was so damn long! Powerful enemies were everywhere! Every single one of them had unique tricks! If the entry ticket had not dropped to 1, she would not even have wanted to clear it.
Especially Genichiro Ashina, who had stalled her for two days. He was like a rabid dog—Danger thrusts, Danger sweeps, Danger grabs, countless moves, and lightning-fast swordsmanship. She had thought that after beating his first two phases, she had completely figured him out!
Then, just like that!
He ripped off his clothes and started summoning thunder!
Was that even a normal fight?
Pah!
And after finally beating Genichiro Ashina, Jiang Qiu had felt invincible. Surely there could not be another enemy she was unable to defeat.
...Then the Guardian Ape showed up.
As if mocking her, Lu Xiu told her—
Wow, you beat Genichiro. Good for you. But now I will not let you fight humanoid bosses anymore. Go fight a beast that is hard to deflect and whose attack timings are hard to read.
And in its second phase, it can roar. It can even hold its own head and dance with you. Elegant, right?
Jiang Qiu had been so furious at the time that she had wanted to charge into the Coordination Bureau and confront Lu Xiu directly!
Because she had been beaten so badly that she had lost every shred of dignity.
Then, after she finally defeated the Guardian Ape... Great Shinobi Owl appeared.
Jiang Qiu had never seen such a despicable enemy.
She truly had no choice.
