Martial Master Deadwalkers were still Deadwalkers and had not evolved into Herrschers, but their strength was no longer in doubt.
Crowned with the title of Martial Master, even if they were still Deadwalkers... they were fundamentally different from other Deadwalkers. Having mastered the ultimate form of dual-blade combat, they could contend with beings far stronger than themselves using the blades in their hands.
With the blades in their hands, they could even slash apart bullets and artillery shells. Basically, no ranged attack could harm them in the slightest, and even in close combat... they could block most frontal attacks.
This was the Absolute Guard of a Martial Master.
Besides that, they knew an arcane footwork technique. If they wanted to leave... it was very difficult to keep them behind.
For example, Theresa was looking rather passive at the moment. Facing this Martial Master Deadwalker... even Judas was proving somewhat ineffective.
Judas could not restrain the Deadwalker before her, while nearly all of Theresa's attacks were blocked. Once it had blocked enough attacks, it would seek out the best opportunity and decisively counterattack.
This fighting style was extremely cowardly, carrying a very Sekiro-like spirit.
The only ones who did not take the Martial Master Deadwalkers seriously were the two Herrschers, Sirin and Higokumaru. Though Martial Master Deadwalkers were indeed powerful, they were still not worth mentioning before Herrschers who had far surpassed human limits.
Sirin manipulated imaginary power, forcibly controlling the space around the Martial Master Deadwalker. Then a row of Lances of Subspace pierced through it, leaving it to collapse before Sirin without any ability to resist.
Just as Sirin finished off the Martial Master Deadwalker she had chosen, Higokumaru, on the other side, used the power of corruption... to directly corrupt the Martial Master Deadwalker before her into her
