A moment later, a familiar figure appeared on the battlefield.
Kishou Arima's Zero Squad.
The instant Seidou Takizawa saw the White Reaper, he stopped what he was doing and fled without hesitation.
"Bastard."
"Monster!"
Kurona Yasuhisa and Nashiro Yasuhisa stared straight at Kishou Arima, little flames of anger burning in their eyes.

In an instant, two rinkaku swept across each other toward Zero Squad. Their power was even greater than before, leaving nothing but wreckage wherever they plowed through.
Kishou Arima's expression remained impassive. He continued firing rings of lightning from Narukami, trying to paralyze the rinkaku. But the Yasuhisa sisters were no longer what they had been.
