The Flame Pillar's pupils contracted sharply.
Terrifying!!!
What kind of monster was this?
Had the Hammer Pillar been fighting someone like this all along?
His breathing surged. Firelight flowed over his body like living flame, and his sword flashed from its sheath. In an instant, he was in front of Tetsu no Sosuke.
Breath of Flames—Fourth Form: Unknowing Fire!!!
His blade swept up a thousand layers of fire. With Tetsu no Sosuke and Kyojuro Rengoku at the center, waves of flame surged outward.
Clang, clang, clang!!!
Crescent Moon collided with the firelight, and the air rang as though hundreds of blades were clashing.
A thunderous roar spread in every direction.
In that single instant, wounds covered Kyojuro Rengoku's body. A slash across his face left a deep gash.
He seized Tetsu no Sosuke's wrist and flew backward.
At the same time, Tengen Uzui dropped from above. Kokushibo, about to give chase, snapped his head up, his chilling killing intent surging skyward.
Tengen Uzui's heart tightened just as he was about to strike upon landing.
Then butterflies fluttered across the sky.
"Hm?"
How could Kokushibo forget an attack like that? How could he possibly forget?
That reckless little five-footer?
The instant the thought crossed his mind, he moved to swing his blade, but a Flexible Blade suddenly coiled around his wrist.
Following it with his gaze, he saw a woman behind Shinobu Kocho. She had an exaggerated figure, wore an outfit that was anything but modest, and attacked with excitement all over her face.
He yanked hard, expecting to crush someone like her with his strength in an instant... but reality slapped him in the face!
The woman, who looked as though her figure was all she had going for her, did not budge an inch...
*What kind of monstrous strength
