Regardless of whether Aoto stood in place or actively ran towards him, the result was the same! There would be no hindrance in utilizing his 'secret technique'!
The distance between the two was merely ten paces.
For the two charging straight at each other, this distance was covered in the blink of an eye!
In just an instant, Aoto stepped into the range that Shinno's 'odd skill' could reach, and at that moment, Shinno gathered the strength in his arm and struck heavily with his blade!
However, at that precise moment, Shinno suddenly felt a sense of abruptness. This sudden feeling rapidly expanded.
This was all because... he realized Aoto's eyes were not looking at him.
With his eyelids drooped... his line of sight was so low it seemed to be looking at his own feet... No! He was looking at the shadow stretched long by the moonlight!
Shinno's face was instantly filled with shock and horror.
He wanted to stop the slash... but it was too late! His hand could not stop the momentum!
