From the tip of the blade to the hilt, it was smeared with a sticky mixture of blood and fat.
The originally smooth blade now had about a dozen nicks.
Finally having reached Yamada, Aoto immediately switched to holding the sword with both hands, raised it high, and then slashed down heavily!
As he watched the blade approach his head at high speed, Yamada's heart skipped a beat and he reflexively raised the tachi in his hands—
Clang!
The two blades collided.
Sparks flew.
Yamada's tachi was a family heirloom passed down through generations for nearly 200 years.
Yamada's father was a fervent supporter of Yamada's "Anti-foreigner" aspirations.
Therefore, when Yamada decided to leave his hometown and join the "Anti-foreigner Movement," his father specially gave him this family heirloom.
"Use this family heirloom of our Yamada clan to cleanse this land of all barbarians"—this was the last sentence Yamada heard from his father before leaving his hometown.
