Chapter 86
[Lullaby of Fierce Battle]
“I’m sorry, I’m going to engage, so I won’t be able to give command for a while . ”
Having delivered those words to the members, I hopped over the fence and jumped from the skyscraper that was well over 200m high .
I’m free falling while facing the air resistance . Taking out the grappling gun from the holder, I rotate my body .
“I won’t let you escape!”
Hitsugiya’s reaction was quick . Without hesitation, he chased me, jumping down the building .
The wire fired from the grappling gun passes right beside Hitsugiya and gets entwined with the fence on the roof .
I put my foot on the wall of the building, and while killing the momentum of the fall, I fired a Soundshot at Hitsugiya . However, Hitsugiya reached for the wire right next to him, pulled it, and flew to the side . My posture collapses because the wire is pulled .
When I was regaining my posture and moved my gaze to Hitsugiya, his figure had already gone .
Again . I just take my eyes off him for a moment, but like when we fought before, his figure suddenly disappeared . Without leaving any sound .
Thus, he avoided the Soundshot just now .
I released a Soundshot at the window of the building, and infiltrate the inside of the Neo Slaceid Building from the broken window .
The inside seems to be an office of a company or something; screams rises from various places after the people inside saw me infiltrating wearing Anonymous’ mask .
Without minding it, I quickly made my way through the room that has become disordered, put the grappling gun in the holder, and took out the knife in its stead . Then, the people in the office ran away all at once .
I think about whether I should cancel the sound collection with a radius of 2 km .
When it comes to fighting against Hitsugiya, it is not a situation where I can divert my attention to search for enemies . Fighting while listening to other sounds is a bad idea .
However, once I miss the sounds, I won’t be able to reform the formation when I return to command .
Dammit, what to do .
Even if I stopped searching for the enemies now and concentrated on Hitsugiya, it is unlikely that I will have time to spend time grasping the position of the enemies again .
There are two generals heading this way . And there is still quite some time until the reinforcements arrive…
But once I got found, it is impossible to escape from Hitsugiya . I knew it from the last fight . I want to call someone over here, but I can’t afford to wait for them .
After all, there is no choice but to fight .
“The last time we fought, we both hadn’t going all out, right?”
Hearing a voice from behind, I turned around .
Hitusgiya stood there as if it was natural . He stood near the window I broke .
Again, he appeared without sound .
I gritted my teeth unintentionally .
“Hahaha, why the long face, Shion? The other guys are already starting, right? I got a late start, you see . ”
I found that as he spun the words, Hitsugiya’s feelings is getting high .
With a crazy smile on his face, he looks at me .
“…It’s seriously annoying . ” I muttered, staring at the Hitsugiya’s bloodshot eyes .
“How cold . ”
“After all, you all just want to kill anyone regardless whoever it is, right?”
I don’t want to hang out with such a madman .
“That is not the case . I’m not picky when it comes to work, but when I wear this face, I properly make sure of who I want to kill . ”
“So, you picked me, huh…?”
“Hmm~ . How should I put it… I kinda want to torment you . ”
Something runs on my spine due to the killing intent of Hitsugiya . But at the same time, anger springs up in me .
He wants to torment me he said; don’t get carried away .
*gun* I kicked the desk in front of me flying .
From behind it, I approached Hitsugiya and stretched the knife . But at that moment, Hitsugiya disappeared and he suddenly appeared behind me .
“…!”

Before looking back, I immediately fire a Soundshot . But he disappears again .
At the edge of my view, the figure of Hitsugiya disappeared as if melting into the wall was reflected .
That was Hitsugiya’s ability .
But I don’t know . What kind of ability is it? Rather than melting into the wall, it was as if he went into the wall without any resistance…
“!?”
*zun* A sharp pain ran on my flank .
When I looked at it, HItsugiya stood next to me, stabbing a knife into my flank .
Along with a severe pain, blood oozes on my clothes . I couldn’t react at all .
Dammit, the gap of our skill is too wide .
“Guh…! Kuh…!”
“Usually I would end it with this . But I missed your vitals . Today is a good day to have fun . ”
Having said that, Hitsugiya forcefully pushed the knife . I stepped back, and back, and eventually I was cornered to the wall .
I grabbed Hitsugiya’s hand to pull out the knife, but I couldn’t make it budge due to the difference in strength .
“You insane…!”
“Insane? That is perhaps yourself . Ordinary humans won’t be able to have that kind of eyes after being driven to such a desperate situation . ”
Frowning, I endure the severe pain . If I shoot a Soundshot, this floor may collapse . If that happens, I, who was injured, won’t be able to cope with it .
No, it’s the same if I can’t overcome this situation .
“Haaa!”
I shoot a Soundshot toward the wall behind me .
Receiving a shockwave at a close distance, a huge hole was opened in the wall, connecting the room to the next one .
At the same time, I retreated far behind and pulled out the knife .

While gritting my teeth in pain, I held down my flank .
“Haa, haa…”
“As I thought, it is better to torment you before killing you . Killing you in an instant is boring after all . ”
Hitsugiya said as he walked toward me .
I kept my flank in check and spun my brain fully . How can I survive from this situation?
When I was staring at Hitsugiya, he completely got into the floor .
Seeing that, my eyes opened widely . Eventually, Hitsugiya, who completely disappeared into the floor, emerged from the floor behind me .
A kick was added to my back, and I rolled on the ground while spurting blood .
While holding back the pain in my flank, I immediately stood up .
“Shadow…”
“It was a good hint, right?”
Hitsugiya shrugged his shoulders . So he deliberately showed me the moment he used his ability, huh .
He looked down on me .
“Yeah . My ability is ‘Shadow Passage(Kagerou)’ . The ability to move freely in the shadows . ”
As I thought, huh . In that case, the Soundshot will not hit if he escapes into the shadow .
Being able to freely approach and retreat, an ability that is perfectly suited to a killer .
Taking a breath, I opened my mouth .
“Chiyaku-san . Please head toward E-22 . ”
Having told her that much, I cut the sound collection field .
Now that it has come to this, I have to give priority to my life .

‘Silence World’ .
Around 100m . I silenced all audible sounds in that range .
Silence . In a soundless world, I take a deep breath . As ths sounds disappeared, Hitsugiya looked around for a moment .
The biggest thing I got from training with Yoiyami-san . That is this technique .
Seeing me having a painful expression, Hitsugiya laughed grinningly . Since this technique is a technique to silence all sounds, it consumes considerable concentration and stamina . It is impossible to activate it in rapid succession . It’s a once in a day deciding technique .
For a professional like Hitsugiya, the disappeared sounds didn’t affect him by that much .
But I know that too .
This is not a technique to prevent the other party from hearing sounds .
The ‘Silent World’ is a space for me to hear sounds more accurately… A space where only I can deal with sound .
Hitsugiya, let’s see how long can you laugh like that . Regret not having killed me immediately .
Hitsugiya flapped his mouth and said something, but I couldn’t hear it .
I was concentrating on one sound .
*thump, thump* I hear beating sounds .
That sound gradually became louder .
During that time, I just stared at Hitsugiya’s eyes . Hitsugiya still walks slowly this way with a relaxed attitude . He might think that this silent space is my last-ditch resistance .
While running out of breath, I concentrated .
Meanwhile, Hitsugiya suddenly approaches as if to make the first move .
At that moment, I exploded the heartbeat of Hitsugiya .
―― Heartbeatshot
What I created is an unavoidable certain-kill technique .
Hitsugiya burst due to the sound emitted from the inside of his body, and then his blood and flesh dispersed and scattered .
