The battle between Oda Tokuma and Kitamura Kijitori jolted the entire Nishinokyo from their sleep.
A flash of a blade and a neighbouring house was split in half. Yet neither of them bothered to care whether anyone was injured in that residence. The two figures shuttled back and forth in the forest of steel and cement, leaving everywhere they passed in ruins.
The Collection of Gods was alerted and immediately hurried to the battlefield. Most of them were unsure about Kitamura Kijitori's plan, hence they did not expect that the strong Class B Conservatives had been lured out, before the people from the Heavenly Network had even been captured.
Yaeko felt her chest heat up. Although the wounds on a practitioner's body could heal quickly, the attack from Kijitori was rather severe.
The only thing that kept her going forth was her curiosity, whether that young man would be willing to save her.
