Unlike the other samurai, the tachi in the youth's hand was clearly no ordinary weapon. To others... the bandit demons' copper walls and iron barriers that were nearly impossible to break through were utterly vulnerable before the youth's blade.
The youth was clearly quite skilled. His footwork, swordsmanship... he continuously evaded the bandits' attacks while striking at their vital points with every slash. With one stroke, he directly severed a bandit's neck.
After killing one bandit controlled by a demon, the youth charged toward the other enemies. The samurai specifically assigned to protect him remained at his side, keeping a constant watch to prevent anything from happening to him.
