A figure staggered into Tetsu no Sosuke's view—Honmyo Yutaro!
His face contorted with terror, he cried out his daughter's name, then glared at Tetsu no Sosuke. "I entrusted my daughter to you! How could you do this to her? I'll kill you!!!!"
Under True Extreme Flow Intent, Tetsu no Sosuke's emotional fluctuations had been suppressed to a minimum. He regarded Honmyo Yutaro coldly.
First, if he were human, he could not possibly have escaped that slaughterhouse, let alone made it here. Tetsu no Sosuke knew better than anyone how difficult that journey was.
Second, even if he had managed it, his appearance at this precise moment was far too convenient.
Was this Black Shadow's doing?
Thoughts churned through Tetsu no Sosuke's mind, and he reached a judgment in an instant.
The Sunflare Hammer abruptly changed course, hurtling straight toward Honmyo Yutaro's head.
There was not a trace of fear in Honmyo Yutaro's eyes. He seemed genuinely intent on fighting Tetsu no Sosuke to the death, his expression steeped in utter grief and fury.
Tetsu no Sosuke was even more ruthless. The Sunflare Hammer descended without the slightest hesitation, as though he meant to smash Honmyo Yutaro's skull outright.
Yet the instant before the hammer struck Honmyo Yutaro's head, Honmyo Yutaro vanished.
He dispersed like mist, and a moment later, a voice sounded beside Tetsu no Sosuke's ear. "Sir, why have you become so frightening? Did you have a nightmare?"
His mind wavered for an instant, and Tetsu no Sosuke abruptly opened his eyes. Bright moonlight shone outside, and an oil lamp burned in the room. Honmyo Yutaro was watching him with concern, a garment draped over his shoulders, as though he had been startled awake and come to check on him.
