Chapter 155: Under the Hood

"Enatsu, hang in there," Yoichi said, narrowing his eyes for a few moments. Behind him, Shioko held the merchant still near the wall, using a piece of cloth ripped from her pants to wrap Rokuro's deep wound.

Kamakiri's Void Summoner ignored Kenji's nature, and, in his eyes, the little dragon was just a strange reptile demon capable of manipulating fire. Thanks to his occult arts, however, he seemed to be able to sense the power of his opponent.

Ogai had focused more on Shioko, noting from the beginning that Yoichi was an unarmed, young warrior. The red-haired archer's level of strength was much higher than Yoichi's, and the sorcerer also managed to sense the magic from his ancient relic, the quiver.
