Kagura Bachi Chapter 54

Chihiro and Hiruhiko continue their intense battle, exchanging devastating blows and utilizing their sorcery to track each other's movements. Amidst the violence, Chihiro protects innocent bystanders, clashing ideologically with Hiruhiko over the true purpose of killing and the value of human life. Hiruhiko proposes a distorted sense of friendship through mutual lethal combat, refusing to understand Chihiro's protective nature. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, Hishaku members monitor the situation and discuss their overarching strategy involving Senkutsuji Temple and their leader, Yura, as escalating forces threaten to destroy the area.
