Even more harrowing was the state of the twin blades in Lu Mingfei's hands. Futsu-no-Mitama and Ame-no-Habakiri had shattered once again. Using the Thirteenfold Combo to trade blows head-on with Herzog, and with Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi possessing incomparable toughness, it was his own weapons that gave out first.
Yet this time, as Herzog looked at the splintered swords in Lu Mingfei's hands, its expression no longer held an ounce of arrogance or ease. Herzog had noticed Lu Mingfei's gaze... It was the absolute look of a madman, without a shred of retreat or hesitation. Flames blazed fiercely in Lu Mingfei's eyes, a fire that seemed determined to burn every last enemy in his field of vision to ashes—even if it meant burning himself to nothingness along with them!
This fellow was completely mad. Perhaps he had been a madman from the very beginning. Recalling everything this young man named Lu Mingfei had done along the way, not a single action was something a normal person would do... No one wanted to fight a madman. Madmen were foolish creatures who didn't take their own lives seriously. But how precious was its own life? How could a noble King risk its all by fighting to the death with a lunatic who threw his life away? A faint urge to retreat began to stir deep within Herzog's heart.
