Missing Incident [11]

A sword came gushing through toward a man's shoulder, its speed was great as if the wielder's main key point in sword arts was speed. The blade closed the distance and sliced through the skin, bones, muscle, and flesh of the man it made a bloody mess out of him.

—No! That's what should've happened if the man hadn't stepped aside at the last second. The sword coming hungrily for his blood did clash with something but it was not the body of the man, it was his sword.

-A sound so loud was released when the two sharp-edged metal pieces scarped each other that it buzzed in the ears of everyone present there. It was as irritating as the sound which you hear when scratching a blackboard with a piece of chalk.

The blood-hungry blade backed off as it was pulled back by its master, but the man's blade followed.
