- The shadow beasts dispersed into a seemingly harmless black mist.
- However, it had never been Arisuin’s intention to use Shadow Beast to stop Ikki’s movement.
- It was just a distraction.
- The black mist that had dispersed from the crumbled shadow beasts blocked Ikki’s field of vision for a moment-so he could to use his shadow jumping technique, 「Shadow Walk」, to jump to Ikki’s shadow!
- After his machinations went through smoothly, Arisuin moved from his own shadow to Ikki’s.
- From Ikki’s shadow, stretching out behind him thanks to the lights in the ring, he sprung out, thinking (I’ve got you…!).
- From this position, facing Ikki’s back, he flourished Darkness Hermit to strike at Ikki’s neck.
- However, in that instant-
- “!!!”
- Even sooner than Arisuin could strike at Ikki’s neck, the jet black tip of Ikki’s device, Intetsu, appeared from under Ikki’s arm, stopping just at Arisuin’s brow.
- Without facing Arisuin, Ikki had completely read the plan to flank him, and counterattacked instead.
- “!!!”
- Arisuin promptly used the knife he’d been striking down with to guard.
- By doing so he narrowly avoided being skewered, in that one beat, his action was stopped.
- What Ikki Kurogane just took advantage of had been a fatal weakness.
