Chapter 921 - The Path of the Sword

Vergil took his stance again, keeping Yamato steady in front of his body while watching Scathach from the other side of the field. The leaf between her fingers still looked far too ridiculous to be taken seriously, but after everything he had already felt coming from that woman, he did not make the mistake of judging her by the object she was holding. The moment Scathach shifted her right foot a few centimeters, Vergil moved first, using a fast diagonal slash followed by a short change in his grip to turn the motion into a thrust, trying to keep her from repeating the minimal evasions she had used before. The redhead, however, simply tilted her body and ran the leaf along the side of Yamato, using such a small motion that it seemed impossible for it to carry enough force to deflect the katana.
