Ogata only slashes all enemies that appear in his field of vision, killing one and slashing two and a pair.

He didn't count how many people he had killed, but he swung his sword vigorously.

When he came back to his senses now, Ogata realized that there were only 20 enemies left in front of him.

The rest of these people all had a look of fear on their faces.

Their fighting spirit and morale have been crushed by Ogata.

Now, even if Gennai Matsudaira doubles the bounty for Ogata's head, it will not be possible to save their fighting spirit and morale.

I don't know who hit the head first, let out a wail first, and then fled backwards in embarrassment.

The samurai who was the first to escape was like a beginning, starting a chain reaction.

In an instant, six more samurai followed his footwork, wailing as they fled away from Ogata.

But there are also some people who still stand trembling and don't want to run away with these people!

"As a samurai! How can you escape! A young samurai, probably in his early 20s, shouted, "Let me show you my loyalty!" ”

The samurai's cry seemed to be addressed to Ogata, and it seemed to be addressed to himself.

After shouting this sentence, he raised his sword high and rushed towards Ogata.

Laugh at!

After the young warrior came into range of his attack, he slashed his throat with a sword without hesitation.

Then, lowering his weight and turning into an afterimage, he rushed towards the dozen or so samurai who were hesitating whether to continue with Ogata or turn around and flee from the place.

The twin blades are wielded, and with the blessing of the "selfless realm", the level is briefly raised to the master-level circulation, and its power is exerted to the extreme by Ogata.

In just a few breaths, the light of the twin swords swept over the bodies of the more than ten warriors one by one, snatching the lives of the more than a dozen warriors.

"Hah...... Ha...... Ha...... Ha ......"

Ogata gasped for air, adjusting his breathing.

The surroundings, which had been noisy since the beginning of the battle, finally fell silent.

All that was left of the scene was the sound of Ogata's breathing, and ...... The breathing of a strong man standing not far in front of him.

"Only ...... left You're alone, Nanahara ......"

Nanahara was carrying a knife that was still dripping with blood, and stood not far in front of Ogata, the expression on his face was neither sad nor joyful.

The few warriors who escaped did not succeed in escaping.

They were all lying lifeless behind Nanahara right now.

Seeing that there were less than 20 samurai still alive, Nanahara silently drew his sword and slowly walked towards Ogata.

And by the way, he killed the samurai who gave up the battle and slaughtered them all......

None of the samurai who escaped from the battle escaped, and they were all killed by Nanahara's sword.

“…… I really didn't expect it. Nanahara said softly, "With more than a hundred samurai as opponents, you can still win." Terrific. ”

With that, Nanahara stepped on his back foot and narrowed the distance between himself and Ogata at a dizzying speed.

Clang!

Ogata lifted the gap-filled wakasha and blocked Nanahara's slash.

Although the attack was blocked by Ogata, Nanahara's face did not show any discouragement or frustration.

Rather, there was a slight smug look on his face.

Because his goal has been Ogata from the very beginning!

Quickly retract the sword in his hand, and then attack Ogata Wakisa.

Nanahara's knife slashed precisely at one of the gaps in Ogata's waki.

Ogata's Wakicha knife is already covered with a lot of gaps, and if you slash at it, you can basically hit a gap.

Kerra!

The sound of something breaking sounded.

Ogata's wakasha was like a piece of glass, cut off from the place where Nanahara had slashed.

"Good." Nanahara said softly.

"It turns out that your goal from the beginning was my coercion."

"Although I didn't recognize which first-class sect of the Second Sword Flow Sword Technique you were using, I could recognize it—your Second Sword Flow Sword Technique was very difficult to entangle. For this kind of difficult swordsmanship, it is natural to do everything you can to make it impossible for you to use it. ”

Nanahara shook the knife in his right hand downward, throwing all the blood attached to the knife from the knife.

It was the blood he had left behind when he had slain those who had escaped.

"There's no other place on the ground around you right now, and even if I had, I wouldn't give you a chance to get it."

Ogata was reluctant to admit it, but what Nanahara had just said was true—there wasn't a good fakicha on the ground around him that he could use.

The nearest handicap to him was seven paces away.

Getting a knife 7 steps away while being watched by Nanahara - it's almost impossible.

"If you can't use the two-sword flow swordsmanship, you don't need it." Ogata casually threw away the only half of the wakicha in his hand, "Anyway—I still have Sakakihara a sword." ”

With that, Ogata staggered his feet, raised the knife in his right hand, and set up a mid-range stance.

"Come on, you lackey of Matsudaira Genne."

"Stooges?" Ogata's words seemed to anger Nanahara, and Nanahara's face instantly darkened, "You, a traitor who betrayed the lord, are still speaking wildly here!" ”

"I'm different from a disloyal person like you! I am a true samurai who stands up to the sky! ”

"A real samurai?" Ogata chuckled a few times as if he had heard some funny joke, "Aiding the Gang and willingly being a brute dog - is that also a samurai?!" ”

"You know what?!" Nanahara angrily rebuked in a voice that did not lose to Ogata in the slightest, "Forget all about right and wrong, good and evil, black and white, and be loyal to the lord wholeheartedly - this is bushido!" This is the samurai! ”

"Ogata Yoshise, you and I have completely different beliefs! No amount of reasoning with people like you is just a waste of time! ”

"Let's get started. The battle between the two of us is a battle between beliefs. ”

"Let me see if your philosophy is stronger, or if my 'loyalty' is superior!"

"A battle of faith? Nanahara, what stupid things are you talking about. ”

After Nanahara's words fell, Ogata said softly.

"I'm not here for any righteousness, gambling with my life and wielding a sword."

"The fight to the death between us has nothing to do with any beliefs, nor is it for any loyalty. Just because you killed my siblings, slaughtered my master, I came to take revenge, and you—got in my way! ”

With that, Ogata raised his left hand, grabbed Haori on his right shoulder, and tore Haori, which had already been cut to tatters, to the ground in one go, revealing the dark blue kimono that had been stained dark with blood under Haori.

Behind the dark blue kimono, there was nothing but blood stains.

"Nanahara, I'm going to- kill you!"

In Ogata's pupils, killing intent boiled.

"Humph! If you can kill me! Just come and chop! ”

Nanahara also raised his left hand, grabbed the haori on his right shoulder, and tore his wide haoori, which would hinder his sword swinging, to the side by brute force.

The brown kimono he wore under the haori was revealed.

On the back of the brown kimono, the family crest of the Matsudaira family of Hirose is printed.
