A lot of destruction on the building causing the building to collapse as they were burning. Civilians are running away from the destruction as the guard passes them to prevent the destruction from spreading further.
A fire comes also with a pile of smoke blinding the eyes of the guards. Creating a mist around them. As they passed the smoke, soon they saw a sight of the one who caused it, the people in red attire which was a bandit from the syndicate called Flameborn.
"CURSE YOU!!!" The group of guards who wield the spear and shield charges forward. The bandit also has countermeasures by launching a powerful fire attack towards them. One by one the guard has fallen, but one hit from it didn't exactly take their life as they were able to get up again.
"Arrgh!" The spear pierced the bandit in red attire and took their life. A hot and bloody clash is happening as both parties take each other's throats. As time goes on, the guard is able to win against the group of bandits, which is one of many.
"The fight isn't over yet! THEY ALMOST REACH THE CENTER OF THE TOWN! WE'LL NEED TO WORK TOGETHER AND PROTECT THE CENTER!" But soon, the guard's life dropped one by one when they saw the bandit with black and red attire on the roof.
"That's the fourth squad down. Hey, tell the others to surround the center. We need to take this no matter the cost."
"Yes, sir!" One of the bandits ordered one of his lackeys, and soon they left the place. From the third person, their equipment seems to be different than the one with the full red outfit below. One of them shoots the fireball released from the cannon attached to their arm and destroys the road down.
Including the building and decoration, their presence is the one who disrupts the guard's movement since most of the road is blocked by rubble and collapsed buildings. Some civilian lost their life to this, but it wasn't in the bandit's concern to worry about it.
"Continue to blow the building down, don't let any of the guards meet with our guy." At the same time, the guy who's ordering notices someone's presence approaching their group on the roof.
Kochigawa Tennisuke, confronting their group with a machete and a handgun in his hand, also wearing a black coat. He looked at the group of bandits and muttered something.
"I see, so you guys destroy the building from above while making a path for your companion below. Totally a good tactic, and that's why I'll start with you guys first." Ten's words throw off the bandit's composure as he slowly approaches Ten.
"Huh? Start with us first?! Who do you think you are?! You're only one guy and there's a lot of us here!"
"That's true, if I count it right, there's about 27 of you around this vicinity, but I also can confirm the one wearing black and red attire like you has reached three digits inside this town. Seems like you're really going all out in conquering this town."
"To be true, there are four digits of us currently raiding this place. And you're gonna be one of many who's defeated by the name Flameborn!"
"Huh... Is that so?" As Ten finished his words, soon there was an object flying faster than the wind beside his head, and blowing off one of the bandit's head. The scene made the others shocked and lose their cool. Ten take this opportunity and shoot a few bullets from his handgun.
His arm is almost accurate as Jamis. Each bullet takes one's life, and some bandit regains their composure and decides to attack Ten at the same time. By launching the bullet from the cannon, the bullet flies to Ten as it explodes.
"Haha! That's what you deserve!" The bandit thought they got him from that explosion, soon to realize Ten was already behind them as he cut one of the bandit's throats.
"Get him! Get him!" They shoot their bullets, causing numerous explosions on the roof. Some explosions take their ally's life as they are caught in the explosion. But the sight of the guy in a black robe somehow surviving the explosion made their adrenaline go high as they spent their remaining ammo in their arsenal.
...
Some time passes, and the bandit who started the conversation with Ten looked at his vicinity and realized that there was no life around him. At the same time, he also didn't see Ten's presence, assuming he died from the explosion at some point.
But, the thought didn't occur to him once the machete had cut his throat from behind. And bleed as the life seeps away from him.
"That's one group down. But, since there are four digits of them apparently, I don't think I have time to rest this night. Huh, such a pain in the ass~" Then, Ten caught sight of mother and son running near the center of the city. As the two hold each other's hand, Ten also sees the sight of a bandit in a red outfit.
"P-Please! Spare my son!" The mother pleaded once they were cornered by the bandit. But the bandit has no intention to spare either of them as he aims the barrel from his cannon.
*BANG!*
That wasn't the sound of cannon shooting. Instead, it was from Ten's handgun, M9. Taking the life of the bandit who's tried to kill the mother and son. Ten jumped off the building, and then...
"Mirror Of Memories: Reminiscences Of The Past." The pieces of shattered glass gathered from empty air, creating a big object that was moving towards the group of bandits.
"WHA- WHAT IS THAT?!! SHOOT IT!" The bandit attempted to take down the object that was moving towards them. But it was no use once the force hit them all greatly. The blood splattered on the mother and son, leaving them traumatized as the bandit was hit by a 'truck' right in front of their eyes.
The truck summoned by Ten hit the building in its way and exploded, soon to be erased into nothingness. The bandit that wasn't hit by the truck was dumbfounded by what he just witness. But they only have one instinct, and that's to take Ten down.
"For now... It only falls to me to reclaim the center." Ten sent a mirror that's protecting the mother and son from outside danger as he approaches th
