Time seemed to suddenly freeze at that moment.
Hashiguchi Fumitarou was greatly startled. The magical treasure he possessed, the Hakyokugu Lantern, had the ability to conceal himself and those around him within light.
With this masterful stealth skill, he had successfully survived two trials, silently approaching the back of demons on several occasions, then having those around him ambush the enemy, delivering a fatal blow.
This was the reason Shibata Taro held the Five Thunder Strike Talisman but didn't release it from afar, choosing instead to release it up close.
He trusted in Hashiguchi Fumitarou's Hakyokugu Lantern ability, wanting to ensure a hundred percent accuracy.
Based on past experiences, just one Five Thunder Strike Talisman could cripple the limbs of demons.
But they had never considered that they might be discovered by the enemy.
Seeing those eyes, mingling playfulness with savagery, both were struck by fear, like frogs being stared at by a snake.
