The Wanderer

CHAPTER 15-THE END OF THE MASK LEADER

Masked leader: “Huh…!!! Today I will use your blood to worship my dead brother…!!!”

His fellow constables were shocked that Haruto chose to bear all the blame alone. Then suddenly, the masked leader dashed toward Haruto at very high speed with his long spear in Haruto's direction. The fight between them just occurred like that.No one dared to interrupt them as they were one-on-one duels. The masked man's leader was stronger than Haruto. In just a moment, Haruto had been cornered by him, and he also managed to wound Haruto a little. Haruto can only block and deflect the strike from that masked leader without being able to fight back. Haruto kept avoiding the strikes by circling around him, as he knew he had no chance to strike back directly. Haruto needs to find an opening to counter the masked leader when he has the chance. This is the only way to defeat that masked leader.

Masked leader: “You're a coward…!!! Don’t just keep avoiding it. Fight me like a man…!!!”

However, Haruto still ignored him and kept circling around. The masked leader grew increasingly annoyed by his movements and strikes, even more fiercely than before. Since the masked leader was getting anxious and impatient, thinking Haruto was playing around, he started attacking blindly in any direction. Now, the chance for Haruto is coming as the opponent starts to get impatient, and there will be a gap in his stance. Whenever the gap is open, it's time for Haruto to sneak attack his opponent. Certainly not long after, the gap is open, and Haruto can see it. He quickly steps into the gap and strikes the masked leader from his left side. The masked leader received a cut from his waist to his back. Since he was big and tall, he was stronger than Haruto in physical strength, but because Haruto was smaller than him, Haruto's speed and agility were above him. After receiving the first cut from Haruto, he can still attack Haruto with a backward s***h with his long spear. However, Haruto had already noticed it and quickly evaded it. Then Haruto struck one of the sword techniques of Kaizan’Gosei-ryū, “Sōryū-Kaizan/Shuāngliú-Kuàizhǎn (DoubleStream-QuickSlash)”, by striking an uppercut s***h into midair on his chest, then following with a strike vertically from top to bottom while Haruto was still flowing in the midair. With those double strikes, the masked leader was forced to push backward a little farther from his early position and kneel down on the ground. Because of that, his mask was broken into 2 pieces. His forehead and body started bleeding as well. He was badly hurt and finally fell. For the record, the katana sword was forged very sharply. That's why, with massive power and close distance, it can cut open any flesh on a living creature. Luckily, for Haruto, the battle is over. If not, he also doesn't know if he can still continue the fight, as he was already getting exhausted. Meanwhile, the masked men's morale started to decrease after they saw what happened to their leader. In fact, the constables' morale gets sky-high and keeps pushing and cornering those masked men. Even some of the masked men have been successfully eliminated by the constable side. They started scattering as they tried to run for their lives. Nothing that they could do since their leader had gone. Most of them don't want to end up in jail for the rest of their life, so they run as fast as they can. Then the other team of constables, who took the right road, finally arrived and quickly caught the masked men as they tried to run away. Previously, the 2 constables who were standing in front of the gate of this mansion had sent a signal of smoke into the sky to alert their other comrades. That's why the other team can find this mansion in the end. In short, most of the masked men have been caught, and for those who refused to be caught, have been punished to death on site. But some still managed to escape since there were too many of them scattered everywhere around the mansion. That's why the constables had a hard time catching them all, one by one. They used some carriages to escort those masked men who had been caught, and also those young girls, back to the city. After arrival at the magistrate's office, those young girls have been checked for their health by the physician before they can return to their families. And those masked men have been put in jail before they get their trial later. For now, the case is over, and the constable's side can rest for the time being. A few days later, the constables returned to their work as usual. They do their daily jobs and solve small criminal cases for a couple of months ahead.
