"Shatter him, Crushing Wolf Fang!"
"Spatial Severance."
The two of them worked together to clear a wave of foot soldiers, breaking through the encirclement once again.
After that battle, Yamabuki and Saitō Furōfushi had killed hundreds of enemies, but in the chaos, Momo and Walter disappeared. It seemed someone had taken them away during the confusion.
What surprised them was that their whereabouts were now completely exposed. Theoretically, the Sternritter should arrive immediately, but now, apart from these ordinary foot soldiers, they hadn't seen any high-level combatants.
Were the Sternritter not here at all? Or did these people go out for something?
Leaving only these two rookies to guard the house?
Yamabuki casually cut down a Quincy, then waved his hand, firing three Heilig Pfeil that blew the heads off three more people.
The two of them had caused such a ruckus, yet they still hadn't seen the enemy's leader.
"Never mind, we can't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Let's go in." Yamabuki said indifferently.
If he could use this opportunity to kill Yhwach, the Three Realms would achieve a thousand years of peace. Wasn't this the life he wanted?
However, what Yamabuki didn't know was that to reach the palace where Yhwach was sleeping, one had to pass through the front hall where the Sternritter were stationed. And now, all members of the Sternritter, except for the Royal Guard, had gathered in the front hall. They would stop the enemy here at all costs, absolutely not allowing the enemy to disturb His Majesty's slumber.
"Making a fuss over nothing, they're just two Shinigami. They only defeated the two weakest members of the Sternritter, and you've called everyone here."
Everyone felt dissatisfied, except for Bard.
Who were they? The Sternritter personally appointed by His Majesty, whose strength was enough to sweep the broadcast world, but now they were timid because of two Shinigami, even having to wait here for the enemy to attack. This made these arrogant Quincy very unhappy.
Bard said in a deep voice, "The Captain's judgment is not wrong. The power of those two Shinigami is extremely astonishing. In a one-on-one situation, no one here is their match."
"Pfft!" A girl around twenty years old directly laughed out loud, looking at Bard mockingly: "Bard, don't forget to disgrace His Majesty. The one who lost to the Shinigami was you, not us. Please don't use your incompetence to judge the Sternritter."
Bard did not show an angry expression; instead, he admitted the girl's statement: "I did disgrace His Majesty. I will personally explain this matter to His Majesty when he awakens. However, underestimating the enemy in a confrontation is a major taboo; you must never underestimate the enemy. By the way, how are Momo and Walter doing?"
"They're fine! Although they were severely injured, they won't die. After His Majesty awakens, he will restore them." The golden-haired handsome man said, "Moreover, Bard is absolutely right. Underestimating the enemy is a major taboo. Don't forget that our Sternritter's goal is to protect His Majesty. If anyone dares to attack without my command, I will kick them out of the Sternritter."
Hearing the Captain say so, the others could only shut their mouths. After all, after His Majesty fell asleep, the Captain held the power of life and death.
Everyone gathered in the front hall, waiting for the enemy to arrive.
Even if the enemy broke through their defense line, there was still the Royal Guard by His Majesty's side, and that was the strongest force of the Sternritter.
No sooner had he finished speaking than the front hall's great door was shattered by an immense force, its fragments scattering in all directions, causing the Sternritter members within to dodge, fearing injury.
"It looks like if we fight our way through here, we can see Yhwach," a young man's voice came from beyond the dust cloud.
"Yeah! How about we make a big ruckus?"
Close behind was the voice of a young girl.
The golden-haired handsome man had made all sorts of preparations, even setting up ambushes in every direction, but he never expected the enemy to directly attack from the front.
Do these two people have no brains?
Or... are we Quincy being underestimated?
The next second, countless Heilig Pfeil poured down like a torrential rain into the dust cloud, raising even more dust.
"Stop attacking!" the golden-haired handsome man shouted sharply, feeling that something was amiss.
Suddenly, a young girl pointed to the sky and shouted, "The enemy is above us!"
Everyone looked up to see a man and a woman smiling down at them.
And the young girl was holding a large megaphone, inhaling furiously.
This was Yamabuki's strategy.
Saitō Furōfushi's megaphone attack had immense power; Momo and Walter, as Sternritter members, were utterly helpless against this attack, and even if other Sternritter members were stronger than them, their strength was limited.
If Saitō Furōfushi, this indiscriminate weapon of mass destruction, were thrown directly into the crowd and then unleashed his megaphone, Yamabuki speculated that at least two-thirds of the people would lose their combat ability, and the remaining one-third would also suffer varying degrees of damage. At that point, he would activate his Bankai and rampage, ending the battle early.
That's why the two of them swaggered in through the front.
"Bankai, Dragon Lion Roar, Demonic Sound!"
"Not good, that's the move that heavily injured Momo and Walter! Everyone, be careful!" Bard roared, warning his companions.
By this time, Saitō Furōfushi had finished charging, and it was too late to stop him.
"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
The terrifying sound waves formed a visible wall, sweeping away everything with an overwhelming force.
At this moment, all these Sternritter realized they had underestimated the Shinigami.
They never expected there to be such a powerful Shinigami!
However, just when everyone thought they were doomed, the golden-haired handsome man, with extreme speed, blocked in front of everyone.
"The Barrier!" The golden-haired handsome man extended his arm, and a blue light bloomed in his palm, actually neutralizing Saitō Furōfushi's sound wave attack.
Yamabuki frowned. How did another divine beast appear?
"Spatial Severance!"
Yamabuki swung his blade at the golden-haired handsome man.
However, the opponent still activated his Schrift ability, The Barrier.
The Spatial Severance, which was usually unstoppable, vanished silently.
Only then did Yamabuki realize the seriousness of the situation.
"It's useless. I am Isaac Mardon, Captain of the Sternritter, Schrift B. My Schrift ability allows me to be immune to all attacks except physical ones," the golden-haired handsome man calmly stated.
Are you a Fantasy Killer?
And Mardon, do you have a brother named Newton?
PS: Newton's full name, Isaac Newton.
