The Hidden Secret

The shout echoed on the third upper deck, but it was too late.

The dark red great sword slashed an opening through the lower deck at an incredible speed, as if it was cutting through tofu. Kieran jumped through the opening from below, holding an unconscious Schmidt in his hands.

He hurled Schmidt aside, gripped [Arrogant Word] tight and dashed towards the demon vessels.

Just before [Arrogant Word] collided with the demon vessels, Kieran took a step forward and held on to the great sword’s hilt tightly. The great sword swung downwards and turned horizontal immediately. Kieran’s dislocated steps allowed him to spin, following the great sword as he channeled all his strength into swinging it around.

When the spinning force turned into inertia, [Arrogant Word] span around in a slash, carrying Kieran’s body with it.

His targets were all over the place, so Kieran did not even need to aim properly.
