Meanwhile, Conan and Heiji Hattori were still frozen in place, watching helplessly as this battle defied all reason.

“Kudo…” Hattori Heiji swallowed hard. “Shouldn’t we… try to understand this world anew?”

Conan's lips twitched involuntarily, and he forced a smile, suppressing his inner turmoil, and said, "I seriously suspect we're dreaming. Maybe I should slap you and see..."

Just when the two were questioning the meaning of life—

"Whoosh!"

A sharp blade of light suddenly slashed through the wind and snow!

Conan and Heiji Hattori turned around abruptly and saw a tall figure slowly walking out from the snowstorm.

It was a girl dressed in a dark red kimono, with cascading black hair and scarlet eyes. In her hand she held a demon sword that was longer than her entire body, its blade gleaming coldly in the moonlight.

"What the hell is this?!" Hattori Heiji's eyes widened.

A strong sense of unease welled up in his heart. The sudden appearance of the girl and the huge demon sword in her hand made him feel an unprecedented sense of oppression.

As the demon swordswoman emerged from the snowstorm, her gaze fell upon Hattori Heiji, and her red lips parted slightly: "Your sword... is quite interesting."

Hattori Heiji: "...?"

The next second, Yaodao-hime suddenly swung her sword without warning!

"boom--!"

A terrifying blade of energy cleaved the ground, creating a crack more than ten meters long!

Heiji Hattori and Conan were so terrified that they would have jumped up if their feet hadn't been frozen.

"Come, let's spar," Yaodaoji said calmly.

Hattori Heiji: "......???"

No, ma'am, you call this "sparring"?

Your knife is longer than me!

Just now, if they really started "sparring," I would probably be split in two instantly.

But the Demon Blade Princess didn't give him a chance to refuse. With a flash, she appeared in front of Hattori Heiji, and the huge demon blade, carrying a sharp wind pressure, slashed down on him!

"when--!"

Hattori Heiji hastily raised his sword to parry, and the training sword was instantly cleaved in two!

Holy crap!

Hattori Heiji couldn't help but want to curse, but fortunately the impact of the sword seemed to shatter the ice and snow beneath their feet, allowing him to quickly roll away and narrowly avoid the fatal blow.

He accepted that he couldn't beat that overpowered Yuzuru, and he accepted that he couldn't beat Gin, but now he can't even beat some random little girl?!

His swordsmanship, which he had always been proud of, was utterly powerless in the face of such an absolute difference in strength.

Yaodao-hime tilted her head: "Your swordsmanship... is too weak."

Hattori Heiji: "..."

That really hurts, bro!

At this moment, the confidence of the famous Kansai detective completely collapsed.

Conan watched in stunned silence, his worldview completely shattered.

He had always believed that everything could be explained by science and logic, but what he experienced today was completely beyond his comprehension.

How the hell are we supposed to play this?!

Just as Hattori Heiji was being unilaterally crushed by Yoto Hime, Gin's side also couldn't hold on any longer.

Although the dagger in his hand was enhanced with "holy water" and played a certain role in the battle against the Snow Woman, the Snow Woman's strength was simply too great. She was like an insurmountable iceberg, forcing Gin into a sorry state.

The icicles rained down on him like a dense storm, leaving shocking wounds on his body. Blood seeped from the wounds, staining his black trench coat red, and then quickly frosted over.

Gin dodged another rapidly approaching snowball, watching it smash a large crater in the ground. He was panting heavily, his hand gripping the dagger trembling uncontrollably.

The Snow Woman's strength far exceeded his expectations; in his current state, he was no match for her.

The main reason was that he wasn't sure beforehand whether Vermouth would try to trick him, so he only bought one bottle of exorcism holy water, which resulted in some inadequacy in his preparation.

Recalling the scene of how he had just used a dagger smeared with holy water to slash at the ice wall summoned by his opponent, and how the ice wall had melted as quickly as if it had encountered the scorching sun, a fiery glint flashed in Gin's eyes.

He'd even kill a monster if he could cause harm.

But... not today.

"Vodka, let's go!"

Gin suddenly threw the dagger in his hand.

Taking advantage of the brief moment when the Snow Woman summoned a snow wall to block the dagger, he decisively grabbed the vodka and turned to retreat tactically into the distance.

As the Snow Woman watched Gin and Vodka flee in disarray, a barely perceptible smile played on her lips. She deliberately slowed her pace, and the ice spikes she threw all grazed the two men's shoulders with pinpoint accuracy.

"Oops...didn't hit?" Vodka panted as he ran.

"Shut up! Run!"

Gin roared without turning his head.

.........

In the middle of the abandoned construction site, Conan and Heiji Hattori looked at each other, watching Gin and Vodka run away.

"Kudo..."

Hattori Heiji swallowed hard. "What do we do now?"

Conan, watching the Snow Woman and the Demon Sword Princess approach step by step, broke out in a cold sweat: "How about... we reason with them?"

"Reason?!" Hattori Heiji almost jumped up. "He's about to kill me, how can you expect me to reason with him?"

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Conan was on the verge of tears.

They couldn't win a fight, and they couldn't escape.

They had Gin distracting them a moment ago, but now that Gin has run away, these two strange women are now fixated on them.
