Chapter 498: Mai Shinomiyai Annihilation Battle 2
Startled.
The girl’s bad breath was extreme.
A cold snort escaped from the girl’s mouth. She looked at the golden scene before her eyes, which she had gazed upon for who knows how many years, her eyes filled with disgust and impatience.
She turned her head and looked at herself, who was busy. She had a pair of beautiful pupils, and a trace of light flickered within them. It was the golden bead in her pupils, like a star, that was shining, shining, and dazzling.
She looked at herself, at her hands, which were thick and large, covered in calluses, completely unfitting of her beauty and her katana. She had a pair of beautiful pupils, a pair of beautiful pupils; it was the golden bead in her pupils, like a star, that was shining, shining, and dazzling.
She looked at her own hands, which were covered in calluses, the gloves on them long since worn through with countless holes.
A mass of anger and resentment burned in her eyes. In her eyes, she saw a beautiful warrior,
She was training with all her might, training diligently, constantly swinging the katana in her hands, constantly chopping down the trees before her.
She was still training continuously, training continuously.
Her eyes held endless emptiness and despair. She was still training continuously.
As if she had become accustomed to
such endless training, such hopeless training.
She was still training, still training with all her might, as if trying to dilute the endless emptiness and despair in her heart with this endless, desperate training.
She was still training continuously,
training with all her might, as if trying to dilute the endless emptiness and despair in her heart with this endless, desperate training.
“Iron katana?”
The girl’s gaze locked onto the katana moving forward before her. She no longer knew how many times she had swung this iron katana, nor how many trees she had chopped down, to make the originally cumbersome iron katana so light and so sharp.
The katana was her blade, her soul. The katana was her best companion, and her most loyal comrade. She had endless emptiness, endless
despair. She was still training continuously, training continuously, as if trying to use this endless training to ward off the emptiness and despair in her heart.
A mass of flames and ice coldness burned in her eyes. She looked at the katana before her, and unconsciously reached out, gently stroking the blade. It was her best companion, and her most loyal comrade.
“Chii—”
The sound of the blade frictioning with the air rang out, and the blade lit up, emitting a long, blue light.
The blade lit up, emitting a long, blue light. The blue light on the blade was the result of her daily efforts. She looked at this blue light, a faint smile of satisfaction on her face.
She looked at this straight and sharp blue light, knowing that she was one step closer to success.
This blue light was a symbol of her strength, and a manifestation of her warrior’s soul.
The blade light flickered, illuminating the entire forest. The blue light on the blade grew brighter and brighter, finally transforming into a dazzling blue-white light.
The wind blew her bangs aside, revealing her exquisite features. Under the dazzling light, she appeared beautiful and imposing.
“Hoo.”
She retracted the iron katana in her hands, then sat cross-legged on the ground and began to meditate.
Inch by inch, she controlled her breathing, making it calm and long. She controlled the energy within her body, allowing it to circulate slowly along her meridians.
The energy circulated within her body, flowing, washing over every cell, every corner of her body.
She controlled the energy, allowing it to continuously condense and compress, becoming more refined, more powerful.
She stored the refined energy in her waist, and then entered the next cycle.
She controlled the energy, allowing it to continuously condense and compress, becoming more refined,
more powerful.
She stored the refined energy in her waist, and then entered the next cycle. Then, entered the next cycle.
She repeatedly performed this process until all the energy in her body was refined and stored.
She sat like this for an entire day.
When she stood up again, the iron katana was no longer in her hands. With a gentle gesture in the air, the iron katana was pulled by an invisible force and flew into her hands.
She looked at the iron katana in her hands, her gaze complicated. She could feel that this iron katana was sharper and more powerful than she had imagined. She did not know how much more she could change, nor how much longer she could persevere.
She looked at her face, a bitter smile on her lips. She could see that her face was already covered in wrinkles, her beauty long gone. However, she could not stop now, could not give up. She still had a mission to complete, a responsibility to bear.
She looked at her mouth; there was no bad breath, only a faint fragrance. She knew this was because of her daily efforts. She was her own hope, and the hope of those around her.
She looked at the sky, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.
She knew she couldn’t give up. Her path of the blade had just begun.
She took a deep breath, then put away the iron katana in her hands. She decided to rest a bit, and then try to accept a mission.
She looked at everything before her, a hint of confusion in her eyes. She did not know if what she was doing was right or wrong, nor how much longer she could persevere.
“Heh heh, how pitiful. You’re still clinging to that unrealistic dream.”
A mocking voice came from her ear. It was the warrior called “Black.”
The girl closed her eyes and remained silent. She knew she was pitiful, because her efforts were merely a joke in the eyes of others.
“Don’t you admit that you are just a talentless failure?”
Black’s voice carried a hint of disdain.
The girl opened her eyes, a trace of stubbornness in them. “I know I am very weak, but I will not give up.”
“So stubborn.”
Black’s voice held a hint of mockery. “Do you know? Your body has reached its limit. If you continue like this, you will die.”
The girl had a stubborn personality. She took a deep breath, then stood up before Black.
“Shut up! I will not give up!”
A trace of surprise appeared in Black’s eyes. He hadn’t expected the girl to resist him.
“You!”
Black was about to say something, but the girl suddenly swung her fist, smashing towards him.
Black dodged the girl’s fist to the side.
“Heh heh, it’s getting more and more interesting. But your struggles are futile nonetheless.”
Black’s eyes held a hint of disdain.
The girl remained silent and charged at Black again, her fist whistling through the air, aiming for Black’s face.
Black bent down, avoiding the girl’s fist.
“You are only going to your death in vain.”
Black’s eyes held a hint of pity.
The girl remained silent and attacked Black again. This time, she retracted her fists and used her legs to kick at Black.
Black easily dodged again.
Black looked at the girl as if he were watching a clown.
He smiled and shook his head, then reached out and grabbed for the girl’s neck.
The girl knew she was no match for him, but she couldn’t give up.
She gritted her teeth and lunged at Black with all her might.
Black’s eyes showed a trace of disdain. He knew that the girl’s attack was like scratching an itch to him.
He easily dodged, and then, in his eyes, the girl’s figure flew backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.
“Pfft.”
The girl spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, her face instantly turning pale.
Black stood before her, looking down at her from above, his eyes filled with contempt.
“Truly useless.”
The girl struggled to get up, but her body wouldn’t obey.
She looked at Black, her eyes full of unwillingness.
Black leaned down and whispered in the girl’s ear, “If you’re willing to give up, I can let you go.”
The girl’s eyes were filled with struggle.
Black stood up, then turned and left.
“I will not give up!”
The girl shouted with all her remaining strength.
Black stopped in his tracks, then turned around and looked at the girl, a complex expression in his eyes.
“Have you truly decided?”
The girl nodded firmly.
Black looked at her, then sighed.
“Since that is the case, I will fulfill your wish.”
He reached out his hand, and a black energy ball appeared in his palm.
“Go, my warrior.”
He threw the energy ball at the girl.
The girl looked at the black energy ball, her eyes filled with despair. She knew that this time, she was truly finished.
Just then, a voice echoed in her mind.
“Do you want power? Do you want revenge?”
The girl’s eyes were filled with confusion. She didn’t know what was happening.
“I am your warrior soul. As long as you are willing to hand your body over to me, I can give you immense power.”
The girl hesitated. She didn’t know if she should trust this voice.
“You have no choice. You are about to be blown to smithereens.”
The girl looked at the black energy ball, her eyes full of unwillingness.
She gritted her teeth and made her decision.
“I agree!”
The moment the girl made her decision, the black energy ball exploded violently.
“Boom!”
A deafening explosion rang out, toppling all the surrounding trees.
Amidst the ruins,
the girl slowly stood up, her eyes filled with black light – the power of the warrior soul.
She looked at everything before her, her eyes filled with disdain. She knew that she was no longer the weak girl she once was. She now possessed immense power, capable of protecting herself, and those she wished to protect.
She looked at the jungle, now reduced to ruins, her eyes filled with rage.
She turned her head and looked at Black, her eyes filled with killing intent.
Black looked at the girl, surprise in his eyes. He hadn’t expected the girl to still be able to stand, and moreover, to be radiating immense power from her body.
“You!”
Before Black could say anything, the girl lunged at him.
Black reacted quickly. He raised the katana in his hand and blocked the girl’s attack.
“Clang!”
A loud noise echoed as the girl’s fist collided with Black’s katana, emitting a thunderous bang.
Black felt a tremor run up his arm. He hadn’t expected the girl’s strength to be so great.
He looked at the girl, his eyes filled with confusion. He didn’t know why the girl had suddenly become so powerful.
“What is going on?”
Black asked, puzzled.
The girl let out a cold laugh and did not answer. She knew that it was the warrior soul controlling her body now.
Black looked at the girl, vigilance in his eyes. He knew he had encountered a formidable opponent.
He hesitated no longer, unleashing the full power of his body and attacking the girl.
“Clang! Clang! Clang!”
The sound of fists and blades clashing repeatedly rang out, interspersed with Black’s enraged roars and the girl’s cold laughter.
The more Black fought, the more alarmed he became. He discovered that the girl’s strength was even greater than he had imagined. Moreover, the girl’s attacks had become more fierce and more bizarre.
He knew he was no longer the girl’s match.
He looked at the girl, his eyes filled with unwillingness. He hadn’t expected to be defeated by a mere girl.
He looked at the girl, his eyes filled with anger. He knew he had to fight to the death.
“Ah!”
Black roared, channeling all his strength into the katana and slashing at the girl.
The girl let out a cold laugh, a flicker of disdain in her eyes. She didn’t dodge, but met the blade head-on with her fist.
“Clang!”
A deafening sound echoed as the katana was sent flying far away. Black’s body also flew backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.
“Pfft!”
Black spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with terror.
He looked at the girl, his eyes filled with despair.
He knew that this time, he was truly finished.
The girl walked step by step towards Black, her eyes filled with killing intent.
She looked at Black, her eyes filled with hatred. She knew that all the suffering she had endured was inextricably linked to this “Black.”
Black looked at the girl, his eyes filled with fear. He hadn’t expected the girl to be so powerful, to be able to defeat him.
He looked at the girl, his eyes filled with pleading.
“Forgive me, I know I was wrong.”
The girl let out a cold laugh, remaining silent. She knew she couldn’t let him go. Because he had threatened her and those she wished to protect.
She punched towards Black’s chest.
“No!”
Black cried out in terror, but it was too late. The girl’s fist smashed heavily into his chest.
Black’s chest caved in, the sound of shattering bones clearly audible.
His eyes widened, filled with unwillingness and despair.
He looked at the girl, his eyes filled with complexity. He wanted to say something, but could not utter a single word.
He opened his mouth, but ultimately, remained silent.
He was dead.
The girl looked at Black’s corpse, her eyes filled with complexity. She hadn’t expected to kill someone.
However, in her heart, there was not a trace of fear, only a sense of relief.
She knew that what she had done was right.
She looked at Black’s corpse, her eyes filled with disdain. She knew he had brought it upon himself.
She looked up at the sky, her eyes filled with determination. She knew that her path of the blade had just begun.
“You did well.”
The voice of the warrior soul sounded in her ear.
The girl did not speak. She was still adapting to the power within her.
She knew that although the power of the warrior soul was immense, it was not her own. She had to become stronger herself to escape the control of the warrior soul.
She looked at the sky, her eyes filled with determination.
“Now, it is time to complete the mission.”
The warrior soul said.
The girl nodded, then soared into the air, flying towards the distance.
She flew into the distance, towards the land ravaged by war.
She knew that this journey would present her with immense challenges.
However, she felt no fear whatsoever.
She looked at everything before her, her eyes filled with determination. Because she was no longer the weak girl she once was. She was now a powerful warrior.
“Heh heh, I’m actually looking forward to it.”
The voice of the warrior soul echoed in her mind.
She paid it no mind, flying into the distance, flying towards the land ravaged by war.
She knew that this would be the starting point of her path of the blade.
She would use her power to change this world.
She looked at the sky, her eyes filled with light.
She knew that her destiny would be her own to command.
She would use her power to change this world.
She looked at the sky, her eyes filled with light.
She knew that her destiny would be her own to command.
She would use her power to change this world.
She looked at the sky, her eyes filled with light.
She knew that her destiny would be her own to command.
Her figure gradually disappeared into the sky.
Leaving behind only the land ravaged by war, and a legend that belonged to her.
