When Sasaki Shino saw Tsukimori Doman and Oleander's figures, she was about to get a little closer when she saw only Oleander.
I felt the "warmth" of your gaze on my back.
Since it's at the end, then—
In that instant, swordsman Shino Sasaki made a decisive judgment.
Draw your sword—
Turn around—
cut!
Silver light suddenly appeared.
The flash of silver light was like a shooting star streaking across the sky, or a fleeting star in the night sky—incredibly fast and unbelievably beautiful.
The silver Extreme Shadow seemed to transcend the concept of "speed," like a thunderbolt breaking through the barrier of air—
Before the sound even came, the knife was already there!
Why is Sasaki Kojiro praised for simply cutting down a swallow?
The following is a fantastical depiction of Kojiro's Swallow Return technique, given by Nasuya in a certain Type-Moon universe—
Swallows can withstand the wind and dodge blades, regardless of whether they are fast or slow.
No matter what kind of knife it is, it is impossible to swing it without vibrating the air.
They sense that vibration and change their flight direction accordingly. Therefore, no matter how powerful the strike, it cannot kill a swallow.
A knife is just a line. It makes sense that you can't catch a swallow darting through the air.
So, all we need to do is block its escape route.
One slash attacks the swallow, while the other blocks its retreat as it tries to dodge with the wind.
However, they are very agile, and this long sword cannot catch up with the second strike.
To succeed, the two strikes must be executed almost simultaneously in an instant; if they are both simultaneous, the two strikes will be too slow no matter what.
Therefore, there should also be a third strike to block the escape route from the side.
Although this world does not include Type-Moon, and the Swallow Return is different, it still describes a problem.
The knife must be sharp!
Just like a line often seen in martial arts novels: "In the world of martial arts, speed is the only thing that cannot be broken."
This time, Shino Sasaki's Swallow Return technique was undoubtedly a success for her.
The instant she swung the knife, its incredible speed left an afterimage on her retina.
The silver knife mark transformed into a clear mirror at that moment, reflecting her calm yet sweat-drenched face.
Then, the sound of something cutting through the air finally rang out.
Did you hit it?
At that incredible speed, physical resistance is insignificant.
As a novice swordsman, her previous strike had already exhausted a great deal of her energy and spirit, making it impossible for her to judge whether she had hit anyone based on the slight resistance from the blade.
"A beautiful sword strike. The shikigami samurai I encountered back then is nothing compared to you."
(My Flow - A Meteor Flash)
A clean cut was made in Tsukishiro's white inner shirt from the lower left to the upper right, and his muscles rolled up along the cut. Strangely, no blood flowed out. Instead, his muscles writhed and swallowed the sword energy on the wound, which then healed.
Tsukishiro Michimitsu clapped his hands, praising the long-haired girl in front of him without reservation.
"As the price for unleashing that sword strike, you must be exhausted. Alright, you can rest now."
"No... Akari... Akari is still...!"
Sasaki Shino stubbornly pressed the knife against the ground, forcibly supporting his body.
"Alright, get some rest now."
Tsukishiro Michimitsu gently closed the girl's eyelids with his hand, then supported her body, which was already soaked in sweat, and placed her in a sheltered spot below.
This was already beyond her usual level. With her current physical condition, this move would have been too taxing on her, not to mention that it left a long trail of residual sword energy on Yue Shou Dao Man's body.
"If my body hadn't already... I probably would have been half-dead from that sword strike. I wonder what happened to the oleander and—"
A fierce wind is coming; something is about to arrive!
Tsukishiro Michimitsu had no choice but to swallow his words and quickly dodge.
"boom--"
"boom--"
Two sniper bullets were fired from different directions.
Although he managed to dodge in time, one of the bullets still hit Tsukishiro Doman, striking the edge of his left waist.
With a sideways jump, Tsukishiro Michimitsu hid in the passageway under the bridge next to him. Then, the tentacles inside his body writhed, slowly pushing the bullets to the ground, making a clattering sound.
The bullets were specially made tranquilizer darts by the Armed Reconnaissance Unit, and they were even more heavily quantified, enough to render an ordinary person unconscious for eternity.
Unfortunately, for Tsukishiro Doman, this kind of thing was still too low-class.
Two snipers...
I remember that in Aria the Scarlet Ammo, the most outstanding sniper was Rei, the "Rigid Gold" priestess.
There was another sniper, but we don't know who he was.
I didn't expect the reinforcements to arrive so quickly. In the anime, when they finally encountered Peach, only Raiki and Aria came.

I recommend "I Became an Unrivaled Harem After Transmigrating!"
Author: Liu Daxianren
Just yesterday, I transmigrated into the body of a boy named Ze Yuefeng.
He is powerful and influential, the young master of the Sawagoe family, one of the four major conglomerates in Japan. He has a fiancée named Kaguya Shinomiya, a maid named Sakuya Izayoi who is always by his side and can even serve him in bed, and a childhood friend named Eriri Sawamura Spencer.
He is a philanthropist who always uses his family's money to donate to the Asian Hope Project, building many schools for the poor in Japan and helping many children in impoverished areas realize their dream of going to school. He also often encourages people to volunteer at orphanages, and is highly praised by the public.
He is of above-average appearance, but his face seems to possess an unknown magic that attracts the attention of the opposite sex. He is always among the top ten of the "Who is the God of Men" lists in Japanese magazines, and many women secretly admire him.
However, just as I, who had taken over his body, was preparing to squander his wealth and use his body to live a different kind of successful life, I suddenly discovered a shocking truth.
he…
TM is a scumbag and a pervert! ???
This is a story about a teenager who wants to set things right, but things only get more chaotic.
Chapter 350 Support Forces
After judging the direction from which the projectile came, Tsukishiro Michimitsu suddenly exerted force with both feet and shot out like an arrow.
I didn't use teleportation because the two girls above were locked in a fierce battle.
Although it was unclear why the two snipers didn't target Oleander first but instead targeted him, it was enough for Tsukishiro Doman.
What he needs to do now is to draw fire and take out all the reinforcements that dare to come.
"Bang—" x2
The two snipers reacted very quickly, predicting the direction Tsukishiro Michimitsu was heading and immediately opened fire.
At that very moment, the muscles and bones inside Yue Shoudao's body began to writhe and throb, using movements that defied the limits of the human body to run and dodge the incoming bullets.
—The distance isn't far; the sniper is right there on this bridge!
"A puppet behind the scenes!"
At his master's call, a puppeteer in a strange, deep purple-red robe appeared above him, flying along with his master's rapid movements.
Although this master rarely uses his true abilities...
Invisible lines were woven out, creating an invisible path beneath the bridge.
In the blink of an eye, Tsukishiro Domuro leaped off the bridge and ran swiftly forward along the invisible path on the other side of the bridge.
His mutated body gave him an unimaginable sense of balance, allowing him to run on this terrain without any panic.
Even if he were to star in a live-action Assassin's Creed right now, there wouldn't be any problem.
On the other side of the bridge, a girl with no headphones and no personality, along with a white-haired young man, immediately put away their sniper rifles and quickly moved to a different position after seeing Tsukishiro Michimitsu jump off the bridge and disappear from sight.
If nothing unexpected happens, that guy will somehow move here, and then they'll have to engage in close combat.
However, they were not entirely unprepared.
The armed detectives who came to provide support are ready. Although the number of people who arrived was not large due to time constraints, their strength is reliable, and there are even a few A-level armed detectives.
The different levels of armed detectives are quite interesting.
F-rank Armed Detective: Their combat strength is quite poor. They can only barely defeat ordinary people.
Rank E Armed Detective: Combat strength unknown. The lowest rank for Armed Detectives. Can handle ordinary civilian quests (such as finding cats).
Rank D Armed Reconnaissance: Combat capability unknown. Estimated to be able to participate in some simple engagements.
C-level armed detective: Combat strength unknown. One person can take on three or four people single-handedly.
B-Rank Armed Detective: Combat strength unknown, but close to A-Rank. Representative figures: Misaki Nakazora, Hina Fuma.
A-level Armed Detective: Estimated to be able to wipe out a small squad single-handedly. Representative figures: Riko Mine, Robin Shiranui.
S-Rank Armed Detective: A single person can wipe out a company. Representative figures: Kanzaki H. Aria, Reiki (Kinji can also reach S-Rank when in a state of heightened arousal).
Furthermore, in the anime, Japan's Armed Detective Law strangely changed Article 9 of the Armed Detective Charter—"They should spread their wings across the world and fight together regardless of race or nationality"—to "Armed Detectives must not kill under any circumstances."
It was absolutely hilarious.
As a "legal mercenary" like the Armed Police, you're telling me I can't kill people under any circumstances?
Such wisdom is laughable.
Therefore, foreign armed detectives rarely come to Japan to accept high-level missions. They are too hesitant and could easily make things worse if they accidentally mess things up.
"Everyone, prepare to fight."
After seeing the white-haired boy and Lei Ji retreat from the high ground, a male armed reconnaissance officer below the sniping position shouted to his teammates to get ready.
The white-haired young detective is named Murong Han. He was originally a detective from the Celestial Empire, but apparently he committed some crime and came here to seek refuge. He is one of the experts among this group of reinforcements.
Aside from the "Superpower Investigation Research Division" and the "Special Research Investigation Division," all other departments are rated A-level by the Armed Detective! They're practically monsters!
"Reggie hit him with a shot, but I missed. However, judging from his running speed, he doesn't seem to be affected."
Murong Han pushed up his glasses and spoke calmly, then changed his equipment, while Lei Ji found another location to prepare for sniping.
An S-class sniper rifle poses a significant threat even at close range, so there's no need to switch weapons.
"He'll probably come down from below, but the intelligence says he seems to have the ability to teleport. Does anyone have a Free Domain with them?"
"That kind of thing is sexist! But I have a Kamen Rider belt here—"
The black-haired boy who answered the question said this, and then proudly summoned a belt.
"Mass production, elite production, prototype, or custom-made?"
Mass production means widespread distribution; its combat effectiveness is limited, but its usage requirements are extremely low.
The Elite is an enhanced, mass-produced version, but with relatively higher usage requirements.
The prototype is the model used by the new health intermediary. It randomly transforms based on transmitted energy and the individual's will, making it a groundbreaking invention. It's said that those involved have been taken in for examination.
The special edition is a super-enhanced version of the elite type, and each transformation device is extremely precious.
Before the black-haired boy could finish gloating, Murong Han interrupted him in his calm tone.
The black-haired boy's smug expression instantly froze, and then he said with a crying face:
"Mass production... The model I chose is Faiz..."
