Chapter 202: Ten Million Feathers Style: Sister, Help Me!
Kamishiro Hime wore a tengu mask. She lightly waved her fan, and with a howling gale, several supernatural users were torn to shreds by a wind blade.
Perhaps her most noble identity was that of the heir to the Kamishiro imperial family.
And these people from the Kujō family, in the end, were also under the command of the imperial family, her subjects. And in this prosperous city, there were even some ordinary people.
She should have shown some mercy.
But now her identity was that of a member of Summer Harvest Mountain.
There was no need for any mercy.
Just killing was enough.
Moreover, if there were any personnel unrelated to the Kujō family, knowing that a force was attacking the Kujō family, they would have fled long ago.
Those who were still resisting now must have an inseparable relationship with the Kujō family.
Kamishiro Hime had no need to be soft-handed.
As for the kind of celestial phenomena that had occurred when Kamishiro Naraku had advanced to A-rank, it was because he had advanced while still in Kujō Sujin’s body.
That kind of commotion, although it had been perceived by Kamishiro Hime…
But the mixed and complicated aura of Kujō Sujin and Kamishiro Naraku had interfered with her judgment.
Her “All-Encompassing” ability, although it also had some perception ability…
But that was a visual perception.
And the auras of Kujō Sujin and Kamishiro Naraku were like one body with two souls, and the connection was quite close.
At the beginning, although Kamishiro Hime had sensed a slight difference, and had sensed a little familiarity, she had not thought of Kamishiro Naraku at all.
Because in her memory, Kamishiro Naraku had clearly been cut to ashes by her mother with a single sword strike, along with the Old God.
But when Kamishiro Naraku had completely occupied Kujō Sujin’s body…
Kamishiro Naraku’s aura had completely covered Kujō Sujin’s. And with him reaching A-rank, his strength was even greater than Kujō Sujin’s.
So, his aura was extremely dense.
Under the diffusion of Chikari Makoto’s Storm Dance, it had been perceived by Kamishiro Hime, who was clearing out the small fry in the distance.
The incredibly familiar taste was just like having Kamishiro Naraku himself in front of her. She would never be mistaken.
Her pure white beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and her pupils swirled.
Her pink lips parted slightly.
“Kamishiro Naraku!”
“Was he revived through some means?”
Kamishiro Naraku’s ability was quite strange. It was completely different from an ordinary fusion ability.
To be able to fuse countless supernatural beings into his body, in a hundred years, he was the only one.
Even the ability assessment could not accurately assess it, because Kamishiro Naraku’s previous combat record was very small, and he himself was hidden very deeply.
So, for that strange fusion ability, there were too many unknown mysteries.
Resurrection was too exaggerated, but he had definitely survived that sword strike through some unknown means.
A look of confusion flashed in Kamishiro Hime’s heart.
But her figure did not stop.
In her pure white beautiful eyes, a deep cyan color, as if the sky was far away, grew more and more intense. She rode the hurricane, and her body instantly soared.
She was going to find out the truth.
If it really was Kamishiro Naraku, then with his dare to reappear, he must have reached A-rank, or even a higher level of strength.
In summary, Chikari Makoto’s situation was not optimistic.
Thinking of this, Kamishiro Hime shot towards Kamishiro Naraku’s direction.
…………………
“Gasp—gasp—”
Chikari Makoto gasped for breath, her flat chest heaving violently.
Her all-out Heaven Splitter…
With one punch, the six-hoofed horse supernatural being was like a burst watermelon, shattered to pieces. Black blood mixed with chunks of flesh drizzled down, as if it were a light rain.
And her stamina was also severely consumed, leaving her with less than thirty percent.
In the next moment, the baby-headed tentacle monster instantly acted, and grabbed her ankle, and lifted her entire body into the air.
Chikari Makoto hung there, her golden hair spilling towards the ground, quite in line with gravity.
However, her maid skirt, in a reversal of normalcy, was quite anti-gravity, and stubbornly remained in place, covering her knees and below.
Newton would have been so angry in his coffin that he would have come back to life, and then died again.
In reality, Chikari Makoto had long expected this.
She had always worn a maid uniform, but as a member of the Chikari branch, she had never stopped fighting. So she had directly used a Golden Feather to solidify the maid uniform.
At the same time, she had also made this maid uniform’s defensive power quite considerable.
It was a win-win.
And Kamishiro Naraku, seeing that the six-hoofed horse supernatural being had been completely killed by Chikari Makoto, and that even its corpse couldn’t be pieced together…
The destructive power of that move was truly terrifying.
If he had taken that punch, even if he didn’t die, he would have had to sacrifice ninety percent of the supernatural beings in his body to barely survive.
Fortunately, he had used the six-hoofed horse to test out this move, and had greatly consumed Chikari Makoto’s stamina.
From the looks of it now, Chikari Makoto had no supernatural power or stamina left to unleash a second Heaven Splitter.
Although, after he had advanced to A-rank, he only had three of his own life-bound supernatural beings, and they had advanced with him to a pseudo-A-rank level…
To lose one of his commonly used speed-enhancing supernatural beings was a bit of a pity and a heartache.
But it didn’t matter.
Like Kujō Sujin had thought, Kamishiro Naraku’s pitch-black, inky eyes shone with a gleeful color. He said,
“What a terrifying offensive power.”
“At the B-rank critical point, that one punch probably couldn’t even be withstood by an ordinary mid-A-rank.”
“Even in Summer Harvest Mountain, you are definitely a rare genius.”
“If I can kill you…”
“———What expression will the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain have?”
“Just thinking about it, I find it quite interesting. To be able to make the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain feel angry, whatever it is, I want to do it now.”
The expansion of his strength had also made Kamishiro Naraku’s heart swell.
Having mastered the authority of the divine artifact Calamity and Fortune, and having reached A-rank himself, and with the foundation of divinity…
So what if he faced the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain in the demigod realm?
He would repay the fear she had instilled in him, the sword strike that had killed him, with interest.
And killing her beloved subordinate was just a drop in the ocean of his revenge!
Kamishiro Naraku’s lips curled into an extremely sinister grin, and he laughed more and more twistedly, as terrifying as a grotesque monster, making one shudder, and filled with an ominous aura.
Seeing Kamishiro Naraku’s inhuman expression, Chikari Makoto only felt it was very disgusting.
She had killed who knew how many hundreds or thousands of supernatural beings. She had originally thought that the strange and varied supernatural beings had already raised her psychological tolerance, and that nothing could make her feel disgusted.
But now she found that she was wrong.
There had never been a single strange creature that could give her such a disgusting impact.
Kamishiro Naraku had done it.
Not just his laugh, but even the words he spoke were so disgusting.
However, what had Mom done to make this human-shaped supernatural being hate her so much?
Indeed…
She still had a lot to learn.
Of course, the most important thing now was how to get out of this predicament.
At this moment, the baby-headed supernatural being was controlling its remaining tentacles and was constantly attacking her. And the tentacle that was wrapped around her ankle was constantly swinging, interfering with her punching.
Making her have to block the other tentacles while also maintaining her own balance.
Although, for her, who had fought in many extreme environments, it was nothing.
As long as she was given enough time, she could adapt. When her stamina, which had been consumed by the opening move, recovered a little, she could even start a counterattack, until she killed the baby-headed tentacle monster.
But!
Now, on the scene, it wasn’t just the baby-headed tentacle monster.
Kamishiro Naraku was walking towards her step by step. He was the most powerful enemy now.
Troublesome.
If there were no good countermeasures, she might die here.
Damn it, she hadn’t reached the final step with Mom from the manga. She couldn’t die.
She could only rely on Mei.
Chikari Makoto turned her gaze to Kuchiki Mei.
But she saw that not far away, Kuchiki Mei was fighting a fierce battle with the fanged rabbit, and they were evenly matched.
The supernatural rabbit, with its mouth full of ferocious fangs, was incredibly fast, even a step faster than Kuchiki Mei.
And Kuchiki Mei could barely cope with the fanged rabbit with her shadow hands. Neither of them could take down the other.
Kuchiki Mei, as an assassin, when she couldn’t hide, it meant that her usefulness was lost by more than half, and her strength was also sharply reduced.
Kuchiki Mei was not suitable for this kind of frontal combat. She was suitable for taking the lead in chaos, and if one blow failed, she would hide and look for another opportunity.
And not the continuous battle now.
Her combat endurance was also not good.
Chikari Makoto, seeing Kuchiki Mei like this, was instantly numb.
Relying on her was clearly a wrong choice.
Looking at the approaching Kamishiro Naraku, Chikari Makoto felt that it was better to rely on herself than on others. She would completely cripple her right fist and overdraw her own potential.
She could do one more Heaven Splitter!
In the future, even if she could only fight with her left fist, she was still Chikari Mak-oto!
In Chikari Makoto’s eyes, a fighting spirit of seeing death as home, like an endless wildfire, once again burned and rose, and like a bird’s eye, she firmly stared at Kamishiro Naraku.
Seeing this, Kamishiro Naraku showed no fear.
He had had enough of being afraid. He was afraid of the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain, afraid enough!
Now he would no longer have any fear, let alone for Chikari Makoto. Even if the fighting spirit in her eyes overflowed, so what?
He said with a cruel smile,
“I like your eyes.”
“I’ll torture you severely, and cut your flesh and blood into pieces, and chew them clean. At that time, I’d like to see what kind of eyes you’ll have.”
“I’ll record your screams. I want the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain to feel pain!”
Before Kamishiro Naraku had finished speaking, the face of Kujō Sujin on his chest immediately said,
“Kamishiro Naraku!”
“Don’t waste any more time with these two B-ranks! Kill them quickly and go to the core area of the main residence to take charge.”
“Although the core area of the main residence has all kinds of complicated barriers, even if the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain were to come in person, it wouldn’t be broken in a short time.”
“But I don’t want the outer area to be completely lost.”
“The Kujō family, at least forty percent of its supernatural materials are piled up in the outer area. That’s not a small number!”
Kujō Sujin wasn’t worried about the core area being breached. The barriers in the core area were numerous, and they used the divinity of Ebisu. Without knowing the eye of the barrier, even a god would have to spend a lot of time to break it.
But the Kujō family’s forty percent of supernatural materials was almost equivalent to the entire Natsuba conglomerate’s supernatural materials. This was by no means a small number. This amount of materials, if placed in any top-tier force, would make them red-eyed.
He had to go to the core area as soon as possible to open the outer barrier and organize his men for an orderly counterattack.
Every minute, every second, was a loss of countless supernatural materials.
However, Kamishiro Naraku had his own opinion.
“What are you arguing about? The core area has a barrier protecting it. Nothing will happen. And with the Kujō family’s size, what’s the loss of forty percent of its materials?”
“Is that forty percent of materials more important than the joy in my heart now?”
Having been in Kujō Sujin’s body for so long, he of course also knew the Kujō family’s situation.
As long as the core area was fine, the main body of the Kujō family would not suffer a great loss. And this was also Kujō Sujin’s bottom line.
However, just as Kamishiro Naraku and Kujō Sujin were arguing about this…
In the distant core area…
A massive, pure red flame, composed of a red dragon, crashed into a certain spot with an unparalleled momentum.
In an instant, in the core area…
“Crack————!”
A crisp sound echoed, as if something had shattered.
A brilliant green and cyan light shot up into the sky and dissipated into a dazzling firework.
And the green and cyan barrier, after a few flashes, showed spiderweb-like cracks like glass.
In the next moment, it completely shattered.
Kujō Sujin: “…”
Kamishiro Naraku: “…”
Kamishiro Naraku looked down at the dazed Kujō Sujin and couldn’t help but say,
“The Kujō main residence’s barrier, did you find a shoddy project sorcerer? Why is it so fragile?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he was immediately met with Kujō Sujin’s unparalleled anger.
“Shut up!”
“The eye of the barrier was destroyed! This means that there is a traitor in the Kujō direct descendants who has leaked all the layout of the Kujō family!”
“Get me to the core area right now!!”
Hearing this, Kamishiro Naraku’s black eyes were slightly taken aback.
He naturally understood the seriousness of this matter. If the Kujō main residence were to be completely destroyed, this would not be in his interest.
But he didn’t choose to leave immediately.
Kamishiro Naraku’s right hand instantly formed a sharp black spike and shot towards Chikari Makoto.
Killing Chikari Makoto was just a matter of a moment. It wouldn’t be too late to leave after killing her!
Seeing this, Chikari Makoto’s face was ugly. She had originally thought that Kamishiro Naraku would choose to leave immediately, but she hadn’t expected that she would still have to fight to the death.
Her right fist gathered a brilliant golden light, and her face lost its color and gradually turned pale.
Chikari Makoto prepared to do another Heaven Splitter, to fight for a way out.
She gritted her teeth and chanted in her heart.
Ten Thousand Feathers Style—————!
However, just then…
Her rather superior vision saw a white figure surrounded by a fierce wind coming from a distance. Her gleaming golden pupils immediately lit up.
What Ten Thousand Feathers Style? She was going to use Ten Million Feathers Style!
She saw…
Chikari Makoto opened her throat and shouted,
“———Sister Hime, help me!”
