Chapter 100: Swordsmen (2)
Jiro was in the temple at the moment. Hearing his brothers’ call, he glanced at Oniyon hidden under the offering table one last time, and then rushed down the mountain to assist them.
As he ran, he wondered, ’just how strong is "Lady" that Ichiro and Shiro can’t beat her?’
Meanwhile, Ayoi and Alex were also nearing the central battlefield.
"Yuka, we’re coming," Ayoi announced over the team voice chat.
Roukujou slapped his thigh, "Folks, all three members from both teams are converging here. They have to be super careful now, because they may accidentally hurt their own teammates."
Avoiding friendly fire was a concern for Ayoi and Alex. They couldn’t use their heavy artillery in such a confined space, because that may hit Yuka. So, they switched to other weapons—Ayoi with her gun and Alex with his long sword, and then they confronted the third black mecha.
Jiro, arriving from the mountainside, was shocked. "Didn’t you say there was only ’Lady’?"
Ichiro and Shiro, too engrossed in their struggle with "Lady," couldn’t respond. Yuka’s hammer had such a wide attack range that Ayoi and Alex cautiously positioned themselves behind her, not rushing to attack the newcomer.
Shiro, assessing his brothers’ movements, dashed forward and leaped up, preparing to unleash a series of sword strikes like Ichiro had tried earlier.
Bang, bang, bang...
Ayoi saw the jumping black mecha and opened fire mercilessly. Her bullets rained down accurately on the enemy’s cockpit.
