"Boom!"
At the summit of Qinglu Mountain, a figure was sent flying by a powerful force. He steadied himself in mid-air, but upon landing, he still crashed into the ground, leaving a deep crater.
"And you dare to call yourselves Sword Masters?"
A mocking voice rang out. Ran'ei Divine Master stood in the void, looking down at Saito Tsuyoshi, who had been knocked to the ground.
"If not for us..."
"Shut up!" A sharp reprimand interrupted. Miyanori Chiyoko walked forward with a sullen expression.
The width of her weapon exceeded her own body. She glanced at her companion and realized she'd misspoken. Saito Tsuyoshi gripped his weapon tightly and lowered his head in silence.
"So there's more to the story, isn't there?"
Ran'ei Divine Master scanned Red Sparrow briefly. The girl shook her head, clearly unaware of what Saito Tsuyoshi meant by his words.
"You've won. We are no match for you."
