The Dusk Butcher whipped around and saw that Zhou Fan and Zhao Qiu had actually caught up.
"You two just won't leave me alone."
His expression darkened.
"You don't think I ran because I was actually afraid of you, do you? I just didn't want to expose myself."
If he had kept fighting back there, his identity would have been exposed even if he won in the end.
Once his identity as the Dusk Butcher was exposed, he would no longer be able to stay in Flying Leaf City.
He had run because he was worried about exposing his identity, not because he couldn't beat Zhou Fan and Zhao Qiu.
But things were different now.
This was his hideout!
"You two could have lived if you'd just let it go, but you had to chase me."
"In that case, I'll just have to kill you both here."
A twisted madness flashed in the Dusk Butcher's eyes.
"This is my turf. You've come to the wrong place!"
"Metal Manipulation!"
With a sweep of his hand, all the metal in the abandoned building rose into the air under his control, forming a dense, sprawling mass.
Clearly, the Dusk Butcher had planted it all here himself.
His ability was controlling metal. Anywhere with metal was his home ground.
The more metal there was, the stronger he became!
"Raining Pear Blossoms!"
The Dusk Butcher swept his hand, and all the metal instantly flew toward Zhou Fan and Zhao Qiu, cutting off every escape route!
"Susanoo!"
Zhou Fan immediately activated Susanoo. Its second form blocked every piece of metal.
"What... is that?" The Dusk Butcher was startled by the Susanoo Zhou Fan had manifested.
Its terrifying aura was stronger than that of any Esper he had ever seen!
But that wasn't enough to scare him
