CHAPTER VII Last Line - Part 2

His face was clearly frustrated by the situation, but he was still gritting his teeth in determination.

Then while he raised his sword to the sky with both hands.

"SUIRYU-GIRI ITTO-JUTSU !!! ... TEN NO MICHI !! "

Swooosh...

He swung the transparent purple blade down, slicing through the empty air as if it were a futile swing. And, frankly, the dog still lunged at the terrified woman.

Grrrr !!

The dog immediately rushed his big paws towards the woman below him. But suddenly...

Cring !!

As if bumping into something invisible, the giant dog's sharp nails were cut and flung out of the dog's feet. Makes the dog's toes blunt without nails anymore.

"HURRY, RUN !!! … AS THE DOG STOP, RUN !! "

The woman immediately turned her face, and she saw the samurai who was standing while shouting at her.

However, Watanabe's loud voice did not only attract the attention of the woman he was trying to save. Instantly the atmosphere immediately turned cold and tense.

The dogs who were preoccupied with their respective hunts suddenly stopped when Watanabe managed to cut the nails of one of the giant dogs. Then, as if they were moved by a single commando, all the dogs who were silent simultaneously turned their sharp gaze to Watanabe's screaming figure.

Watanabe who immediately realized with the sharp gaze of the dogs froze, his face turned pale and his hands turned cold.

That sharp gaze immediately broke Watanabe's strong resolve that he had been gathering with all his soul. Then shortly thereafter, the dogs, who had been silent, began to step their feet.

One by one, step by step, as if extending the period of terror they were giving away while glaring at Watanabe.

"Hm ... it looks like the dogs have new prey this time, poor samurai hi hi hi hi hi !!"

" Kerberos, those dogs are acting weird, don't tell me you did it?"

"Hah? what do you mean Leraje? You're accusing me of manipulating those dogs huh? "

High in the sky, the two figures beside Torrentias began arguing.

"Who else can rule the Fenrir apart from you huh?"

"Don't just accuse me! I just made them, their weird behavior must be because they felt a big threat, not because of me !! "

"Tch, keep on dodging"

Dorr !! Dorr !!

The copper bullets flew against the bodies of the giant dogs who were slowly advancing. Even though the bullets weren't capable of dealing a fatal blow, the few bullets hitting the dogs still had the effect of slowing down the giant dogs' footsteps.

"Heh ...! You humans, bullets like that won't affect my dogs. "

Several of the crew, who had been running around, immediately gathered behind Watanabe and started firing their bullets.

"Waibe !! Do not worry, focus only on the nearest dog one by one, for the rest we will distract as many as possible "

"Miss ...."

"GO, WAIBE !! GO ... !! "

"Okay!! Hraaaa !!!! "

The samurai ran towards the front dog, and the dog watched him even though his movements were greatly disturbed by the copper bullets flying towards his body.

The combination of gunfire and clearing created on the crew allowed Watanabe to quickly reach the lead dog. Also with the precision of their shots aimed right at the dog's body while avoiding the path that the samurai was going to take.

" SUIRYU-GIRI ITTO-JUTSU, HANABI-TAIKAI !!"

Slash !! Slash !! Slash !!

Three pieces each hit the dog's legs and head, just as the crew ran out of bullets.

Jeb! Sreeeeeeeech !!

This was followed by a stab over the head of Watanabe, which hit the dog in the stomach, which was then carried around until it sliced ​​the dog's stomach perpendicular to the back.

Blaargh !! Blaaargh !! Gruubugg-Gruuubugg !!

As the dog's legs and face were crushed scattered about, the dog's stomach contents fell from the wounds made by the samurai.

But not long after, not far from Watanabe who had just passed the first giant dog, two other dogs were waiting for him while growling low on their front legs.

"You don't give me a break, yeah?"

The samurai responded by putting his sword back on and taking a stance.

"What can you do, COME HERE!!!!"

Raarrrr !! RAAAARGHH !!!!

The two dogs immediately attacked at almost the same time, as Watanabe shouted.

The first threat attacks Watanabe from his right, Watanabe responds well. Just as the dog's claws reached his body, the samurai tilted his body to the right while kicking his body into the air with his feet. And moving it creates a perfect rotation that avoids the dog's claws through its upper area.

Slash !!

Just as his feet hit the ground, the twenty - foot - high slice of the dog's shoulders he launched in the blink of an eye. But it didn't stop there, because at the same time another dog was right above his head.

Right after the first dog lunged, the second followed by jumping on its back to pounce on Watanabe, who managed to escape the first dog's attack.

" Suiryu-giri Batto -jutsu"

But so is Watanabe, who hasn't finished launching his sword style yet.

Immediately Watanabe, who noticed the second dog's attack from above, immediately rolled back and kept his stance still.

He also escapes from diving the second dog, but the dog that fails to pounce on Watanabe immediately pounces again after his front paws touch the ground.

Slash !!

" Usui-kage"

As if the movement was so natural, right after rolling behind the sword the samurai immediately shot perpendicular to the second dog. Just past the face of the dog that was about to attack again, and left a thin gash on its forehead.

The dog came to a stop, with the first dog slit in the shoulder. Then, like a book that was being opened, the wounds they received grew wider and sliced ​​by themselves. Straight walking, sliced it divides the body of a dog with a very neat and clean. There is not the slightest curve of the straight line made by Watanabe's katana blade.

The sword technique 'Usui-Kage' or what could be interpreted as thin shadows, split the bodies of the two monster dogs into two precisely cut pieces.

But it was not over yet, right behind the two thirteen feet tall dogs were waiting for several other dogs who were ready to pounce on Watanabe.

From a distance, Lucretia, who immediately noticed Watanabe's narrowed state, immediately ordered his crew to reload their bullets.

"Not yet ?!"

"Not yet, miss !!"

Like the wheels of a train rising and falling without stopping, the crew tried to reload their rifles as quickly as possible. But the dogs that were ready to pounce on Watanabe didn't wait for them to finish loading their bullets to start pouncing.

"Not yet ?!"

"Not yet, miss !!"

The situation was getting more and more precarious for Watanabe, his body began to look wobbly, the move he was using was overloading his muscles which had to force his katana blade to cut through the flesh and bones of the three monster dogs.

"... damn !!" tap tap tap

Dorr !! Doorrrr !! Dooorrr !!

Impatiently waiting for his crew to load the bullets, Lucretia immediately took a few steps forward and fired her pistol. The bullets immediately flew towards the dog in front of Watanabe who was staggering, but the few bullets did not attract the dogs' attention.

"STILL NOT YET, HUH ?! ~ "

The shout this time surged, and it spilled out of Lucretia's throat.

All of her efforts were used to support the samurai. However, running out of ammunition and means, despair immediately colored her face as she shouted waves like someone about to cry.

Crek !! Crek !!

"We are ready, miss !!"

"SHOOT !!"

RAAARRRRGHHH !!!!

Lucretia's eyes were unable to see clearly, her tears were unnoticed felt as flooding her vision. She was completely wary and fell into despair.

Move !!

Her heart started screaming.

Whereas in her watery gaze, the samurai who was on the front lines got closer to the dogs that were about to pounce on him. But the samurai didn't move an inch and just stayed where he was.

Move, you lazy !!

Dooorrr !! Dooorrrr !! Dooorrr !!

The copper bullets shot out quickly, hitting the dogs. But neither of the dogs fell.

As they got closer to the samurai they lunged, and the seconds felt even heavier in Lucretia's eyes.

Please, you lazy !! MOVE!!!!

"WATANABEEEEE !!!!!"
