Chapter 79

Showdown at the Old Castle is the seventy-ninth chapter of the Black Cat manga and the fourth chapter of Volume 9.

Plot
Having defeated the Werewolf, Nizer Bruckheimer orders Creed Diskenth to honor his promise and let Rinslet Walker go. Creed obliges, by throwing the thief off the castle. Luckily, She is saved by Jenos Hazard, who uses Excelion to grab her, but this does not stop Nizer from angrily attacking Creed. Expecting this, Creed easily blocks the attack using his Imagine Blade, then dodges a blow delivered by Beluga J. Heard from behind. Nizer tells his teammate to stay out of this, but Beluga refuses, stating that this is a mission and not a personal vendetta. Suddenly, a portal opens from behind Nizer and a hand holding a gun emerges. Nizer notices this before getting shot. Echidna Parass emerges from the portal and joins her comrades. Beluga aims at her, but Maro attacks him before he can shoot. Jenos makes sure Rinslet is alright before they are surrounded by insects. Shiki arrives and tells Creed that he has some unanswered questions for him after dealing with Cerberus. Creed, Echidna, and Doctor surround a wound Nizer and Echidna comments that he managed to avoid a shot in the heart, but Doctor believes that it is still fatal. Just as Creed is about to finish the Number off, a bullet is shot between the two of them. They look to where the bullet was fired from to find Train Heartnet.
