『Is this right?』

『Yeah This side is Baum territory We should be able to take the Sixth I this wall』

He steals the sword off the enemy’s hip as he’s about to fall

『Huh—?!』

He severs the head of the next enemy

He clenched his fists 2, 3 times to make sure

「…」

There were no emotions in the abyss of those eyes There was only a void

Just a dark…

Deep…

Cold void
