Chapter 69: Scorched Flesh
The one currently controlling Kotetsu's body is Kamo Shin's ultimate technique—Shoso (Scorched Phase).
Possessing unparalleled stealth, he also wields an invisible assassination ability.
If given the chance, he could incinerate Satoshi to ashes in an instant.
This time, however, Satoshi had merely accompanied an ordinary person out, and First-Grade Sorcerer Shunichi was not by his side.
It was the perfect opportunity.
Although Shoso was the weakest of the Nine Phases of the Cursed Womb, once he successfully completed his close-combat technique, everything would burn to nothingness...

As soon as he exited through the back door, Satoshi, clad in a blue kimono, saw Kotetsu suddenly appear.
His Six Eyes did not detect anything unusual, yet his instincts screamed that something was off about the man in front of him.
Satoshi silently watched Kotetsu approach, his right hand gripping Sode no Shirayuki, ready to unsheathe his blade at a moment's notice.
Shoso's eyes burned with fervor as he completely ignored the man standing beside Satoshi.
