Unleashing the Unmyo-style slash of Jigen-ryū, the blade cut through the compact Japanese-style room like a hurricane, roaring like an angry lion. The air was savagely torn apart by the edge, and the steel blade vibrated with a thunderous roar.

Having maintained a defensive posture from the very beginning, he finally revealed his offensive ferocity for the first time, bringing Ichimonji Norimune down like a crashing thunderbolt right toward the center of the oncoming blade.

The colossal explosion sounded like a massive bomb being detonated, and the sharp ring of clashing steel echoed throughout the Tamamo Club. The sound filled the room and spilled far beyond, carrying all the way up to the third floor, where everyone present felt their eardrums vibrate with a tremor from the sheer shockwave.
