Outside, the fighting had become utterly frenzied. The Tenryou Commission's forces, which had originally held the advantage, suffered heavy losses under a pincer attack from Kujou Sara's forces and the Yashiro Commission's forces. In the end, they could only hunker down near the Kujou Estate and use the terrain to fight back.
The battle between Kujou Sara and Ōgawara Sage Art: Goemon was also nearing its end. It had to be said that Ōgawara Sage Art: Goemon's strength was truly exceptional. Without a Vision, he had actually managed to hold his own for so long against Kujou Sara, who possessed one. It seemed his claim to be Inazuma's greatest swordsman was not without substance.
