Not knowing what had happened, Enshin reached behind her and turned around to see her hand covered in blood.
Behind him, a girl he had never seen before, carrying a long cannon, casually fired a shot at him.
"She is..."
Mine and Leone were unaware that the power of Enshin's Teigu, ' Moonlight Beautiful Dance: Spinning Blade,' would decrease as noon approached.
However, Leone possesses the Teigu of ' Lionelle ', and her stamina far surpasses that of ordinary people. If she gets into a prolonged battle of attrition, Enshin will be defeated.
Mine and Leone originally only intended to buy some time by providing cover with guns and cannons, but they never expected that another girl would appear behind Enshin.
"That uniform... it looks like a member of the Imperial Guard... what should we do, Leone? Should we retreat?"
"She launched an attack on Enshin... What exactly happened?"
The girl was wearing the uniform of the Imperial Capital Imperial Guard of the District Thirteen.
Judging from the color, it wasn't an airbag uniform for new recruits, nor was it armor for veterans; rather, it was a special uniform for Imperial Guard.
Her chestnut-colored ponytail swayed behind her head, and her pretty face was full of collagen, making her look incredibly young.
Mine and Leone had never seen such a young Imperial Guard.
"You bastard... just who are you...?"
Enshin turned around and looked behind her. The one who had just fired at her from a distance was yet another young girl.
"Heh... You've caught all three sisters in one fell swoop, huh! Wait... these clothes look like what people in the Imperial Capital Palace in the capital usually wear... Never mind!"
As a pirate from the Southeastern Islands, Enshin was unaware of the Imperial Guard's uniforms; he only knew that the enemy had now become three people.
The Leo woman in front is a formidable fighter, and I can't gain any advantage against her. The gunners behind her are also quite troublesome.
The girl who had just launched a sneak attack on him appeared to be the youngest; compared to the gunner's ridiculously large cannon, even the barrel of her cannon was pitifully small.
There was also a toy-like little dog in the way beside her, making her look as frail as a homeless child.
By targeting this girl of unknown origin and taking her hostage, they can threaten the Leo woman. They may not know each other, but some bonds are just that simple.
Thinking of this, Enshin revealed a sinister smile.
The pain in her back was gradually numbing, and Enshin rushed towards the chestnut-haired girl.
The chestnut-haired girl remained motionless, muttering something to herself.
"Captain Seryu of the District Thirteen Imperial Guard of the Imperial Capital —reporting for duty!"
"Still standing there dumbfounded? You're asking for it!"
Enshin didn't want to cut the girl who called herself Seryu to pieces at the waist; he wanted to sever her limbs and then want to wantonly play with her body.
Aiming at Seryu's feet, Enshin suddenly swung his twin swords, unleashing a vacuum impact of moonlight from the blades.
Looking at all this, Seryu's expression was as cold as ice.
" Koro, chest."
"Awoo--!!"
In an instant, the toy-like puppy next to Seryu swelled up to the size of a two-story building.
Two enormous muscles, the size of fire-fighting air cushions, suddenly grew from its chest.
The moonlight, sharp enough to cut through iron like mud, pierced through Koro's chest, carving out two large, visible holes.
The large hole quickly healed itself as if water were filling a void, and the giant creature stood there as if it had never been injured, exuding a terrifying majesty.
Biological Teigu will regenerate indefinitely unless their power core is destroyed.
Enshin had only ever seen this strange regeneration phenomenon in the ' Dotya ' before, but now, both the giant dog, which was as tall as a building, and its exaggerated regeneration speed surprised Enshin greatly.
Mine and Leone were also awestruck by the enormous creature.
"What kind of monster is this... a biological Teigu?"
Seryu seemed to have long been used to this kind of thing.
" Koro, hand."
Like an inflatable doll, the veins on Koro's left arm bulged, and within a second, the veins increased exponentially, with countless muscles proliferating wildly between the two bones.
The giant dog's fists had also grown, hanging down on either side of its overly developed upper body, appearing extremely imposing and disproportionate.
Before Enshin could react, a heavy punch, as powerful as a truck, was about to strike her.
" Moonlight Beautiful Dance..."
Enshin unleashed three sword strikes, but the sword energy was utterly useless against such a monster.
Compared to Mine's artillery barrage, Enshin could barely withstand, this kind of heavy punch, dozens of times larger than her own body, was completely without blind spots.
Even if his strike shattered its body, it felt no pain or paused. If Yan Xin were to take that punch, his Enshin would be slim.
With a sudden leap, Enshin utilized the physical advantages of his race from the Southeastern Islands, performing several backflips to leap into the air, barely managing to dodge the heavy punch.
" Romantic Artillery - Pumpkin!"
Mine was already prepared to take aim, while Enshin, tumbling in the air, could already see the fire that was about to be shot at it.
" Moonlight Beautiful Dance... My Moonlight Beautiful Dance..."
Enshin was about to draw Moonlight Beautiful Dance from behind to complete a series of defenses, but found that no matter what she did, she could not draw the two curved swords.
Turning around, he saw Leone already flashing to his side, biting his spinning blade tightly with her teeth, not giving him any chance to draw his sword.
Then Leone swung a claw strike at Enshin's back, sending him flying closer to the muzzle of the Mine Cannon.
"Damn it... are you planning to shoot your teammates too?!"
Enshin panicked completely. Even though he had expected the two to launch a series of attacks, he hadn't anticipated that they would fight so desperately, actually coming right under his guns to engage in combat.
"Never mind me, Mine, just shoot!"
"Drink! Ahh...
Mine unleashed all her power, transforming all the resentment she felt towards Enshin Yanxin for her arrogant words into the emotional power of Mine's Teigu, and the muzzle of Romantic Artillery Pumpkin rippled with unprecedented golden energy.
"Are you trying to kill your teammate...?"
For the first time, Enshin felt genuine fear. These girls were not like the cheap women he had ravaged on the street, who were willing to be his slaves, do anything for him, just to beg for his life.
They are extremely determined madwomen who are willing to sacrifice their own lives to kill themselves.
Enshin had no way to retaliate, letting the shockwave wash over his entire body, blasting his skin until it was festering and blackened.
Leone, standing behind Enshin and using Enshin as a shield, also endured Mine's furious barrage.
