665 He killed his teammates!? (2/2)
There would definitely be someone in the Revenge Alliance who knew the leader's real identity. And, there was one person that almost certainly knew the leader's identity and seemed to have a high rank within the Revenge Alliance—Daikawa Rota!
And in order to find the Revenge Alliance members, Seiji would have to go find their targets—the 7321 faction members!
Seiji really hadn't wanted to get involved with the battle between the Revenge Alliance and the 7321 faction members. But, for the sake of himself and his companions' safety, he absolutely had to go check out the situation.
He then checked the ”enemy team minimap” senses that he had been too busy to check on with all the earlier fighting.
Seiji and his companions all checked and sensed the names and locations of all remaining enemy Red Team members.
There were far fewer people than when the tournament started… it would seem that some major battling had occurred.
Even the 7321 faction members had been greatly reduced!
Seiji already had information on the 7321 members' names and identities from Hana. But, right now, he could only sense that Natsuki Shuurin, Nobuhiko Kurosaki, and Shigure Tendo were still in the tournament. All the other names, including his never before met relative Shuntou Haruta's, were no longer active on the minimap.
Wait a moment, something was strange about Shigure Tendo's existence on the minimap senses. He seemed rather hazy…
To use a game analogy, if everyone else on the minimap was a clear human-shaped mark, then Shigure Tendo was currently a blurred mosaic.
Had Shigure been invaded and possessed by ghosts?
No, those possessed wouldn't be sensed anymore on the minimap, because they would be judged by the Bloodwine Spirit to have been defeated.
Then why was it that Shigure's appearance on the minimap was so strange? It was as if there was some signal interference…
Just as they were being confused about this, Seiji and his companions sensed Shigure Tendo approaching Natsuki Shuurin on the minimap. Right after that, Natsuki Shuurin's dot was eliminated from the minimap, judged to be defeated from the tournament!
Did Shigure Tendo just kill his companion!?
Still, Seiji figured that the 7321 faction members weren't exactly friends to begin with. They were likely only a temporary team, so it wouldn't be strange if they had internal fighting amongst themselves.
Did the 7321 faction defeat the Revenge Alliance and then start fighting amongst themselves?
However, Seiji then sensed on the minimap that Shigure Tendo was now rapidly approaching other Red Team members and kill his ”teammates” that should have been nominal allies of his in this tournament group stage. Seiji felt that this was truly abnormal.
That was because Shigure Tendo was too fast!
Even if Shigure Tendo was ridiculously strong, his speed in killing his fellow Red Team members was far too fast! He used only an instant to kill every single person that he approached! It was as if the others couldn't even resist and were just waiting there for him to kill them.
Was this a legendary one-hit kill technique?
Rather than that, Seiji preferred to believe that it was connected to the strange sense he got from Shigure's existence on the minimap.
Perhaps the hazy way he appeared on the minimap was because Shigure was currently in a unique condition that even the Bloodwine Spirit had difficulty keeping a connection with. This condition gave Shigure tremendous combat strength, but also made him lose the ability to separate friend from foe!
The next event to occur only reinforced Seiji's inference.
On the minimap, he saw Shigure Tendo's existence stop in front of a Red Team member by the name of Keimi Umetani. Shigure's existence on the minimap suddenly became much clearer before going hazy again. This process repeated itself several times.
Seiji knew from Hana's information that Keimi Umetani was Shigure Tendo's partner in the tournament.
'He must be trying to struggle and control himself from not killing his partner in the tournament!' That was what Seiji thought of this situation.
Seiji imagined as if he could even see the current situation—Shigure Tendo, who was currently in a unique condition (similar to being possessed by ghosts), was currently facing the girl who was his partner, and trying his best to stop himself from going berserk.
However… he failed.
Keimi Umetani was judged to be defeated from the tournament and her dot disappeared from the minimap.
Shigure Tendo's existence then became even hazier on the minimap. He stopped where he was for a while before swiftly starting to move again.
