Imperial Swords - Chapter52

"What do you want?"

The umbrella ribs closed,

There was heavy friction where the interface intersected.

Lingsu placed her palm on the back of Knee Bolus, and spiritual power flowed from her palm into his body,

It repaired the cracks on the body and the wounds on the body.

The wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye,

The dark red bloodstains also gradually disappeared,

Even the blade of his body seemed to have taken on a new look.

Choi heaved a sigh of relief.

The intensity of this spiritual power release,

Had far exceeded the ability shown by Mi Yue when he was in office.

Although the contract with the Divine Inquisitor could sense a portion of her spiritual power fluctuations,

Facing the sight of it head-on,

Was a different experience from the conjecture in his mind.

At this moment, Sasaki and Kishimaru thought of the sword that appeared in their Honmaru later — the gentle and aloof, but not arrogant and not aggressive Mikazuki Munechika.

Suddenly, they understood,

It was originally such a knife,

The Funerary Deities who had tempered themselves in countless retrospect histories to become stronger,

Why they were all willing to submit to her.

Funerary Deities who had experienced hardships … How many could reject such a cold-hearted and deep person,

But also the protective and paranoid Ji Jun?

"My Lord." Choi stepped forward and took Knee Bolus from the Divine Inquisitor.

At this moment,

The White Orchid suddenly spoke in mid-air.

He answered Lingsu's question. Choi heard a rare gentleness in his usually playful voice,

He said, "The future."

"An untraceable person, I want to know what kind of future she can create."

“.....”

Lingsu raised her head,

She looked at the silver-haired man floating in mid-air.

There was a long silence in the air,

Even the fighting outside the barrier gradually subsided.

As the leader of the main battle, Abe Haruaki's indifferent attitude,

It made this battle meaningless.

"What are they saying inside,

Why can't we hear anything? "

On the roof, Pomelo carefully observed the situation on Lingsu's side and said.

She noticed that after White Orchid waved his hand, the area seemed to be isolated by something, and at the same time, Abe Haruaki's reaction was slightly different from before.

It was as if that place had become a forbidden area that could not be crossed, and neither sound nor people could be transmitted in.

"I'm afraid it's a spatial taboo power. That man's ability is very strong."

Hidewon said, "Although I don't want to believe Abe Haruaki's conclusion, at that time, the spatial rift he showed us gave me a bad feeling."

"… I didn't expect you to have something you're afraid of." Nurarihyon Nurarihyon glanced at him and said.

Xiu Yuan smiled. "You think too highly of me … I'm just a human. No matter what I looked like in the past, I'll disappear with time.

What's more — "

What's more, living in a world that was under someone else's control at any time would make everyone feel uneasy.

He was already a little anxious at the moment, but Pomelo and Ryuji were by his side.

Although he could no longer use this body to support anything, he had to find a way to seek a stable future for them.

He wanted to see a brand-new future full of unknowns and hope.

·

"What are we going to do, Leibaun?" Things were developing in an unpredictable direction, and it was as chaotic as a ball of tangles.

Tsunayoshi Yoshida guarded against the various forces in the night, as well as the barrier made by White Orchid, hoping to ensure that Lingsu had no worries.

From the looks of it, whether it was her enmity with Abe Haruaki or her enmity with the White Orchid, there was no room for a second person to distract her.

White Orchid had played a very sinister game of chess, pushing Lingsu and them into the opposition of everyone. Once Nuraya-gumi, the Hanabusa House, the Gotozonin family, and the demons of Kyoto reached a temporary truce, even they would find it difficult to escape unscathed.

What's more, they had a mission in this parallel world.

If they didn't capture the White Orchid, both the Italian Mafia and the Government of the Time would be in trouble.

"Don't worry," Leibaun said calmly.

At times like this, his presence and words always made Tsunayoshi feel incomparably at ease.

"If that girl was still here, the situation wouldn't have become like this."

This time, he didn't throw all the responsibility to Tsunayoshi. Instead, he let him know that no matter what, that girl would stand in front of them.

"Ah Gang, have you ever heard of an ability called Dream Weaving?" he asked.

"… No."

"It's said that this ability is very special. When it's released, it can blur the boundary between reality and illusion. At this time, anything imagined can become reality, and reality can become illusion. And the person who has this ability, due to the instability and nature of the ability itself, will cause the person who has it the most damage and restriction."

"So even the person who has it rarely uses it."

"… You mean …" Tsunayoshi glanced in Lingsu's direction.

They didn't hide their conversation from the others. Therefore, when they finished speaking, the gazes of the Nikihimaru fell on the Divine Inquisitor. Their golden pupils were filled with unconcealable shock.

White Orchid raised an eyebrow.

"As long as that girl doesn't fall, the situation will never be in our favor … right?" Leibaun said to Lingsu.

Lingsu was surprised, "I'm just an outsider."

As she said this, a strange fluctuation appeared around her.

The space distorted for a moment, and Tsunayoshi suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet soften. Then, a thick white fog appeared around him, spreading upwards from his feet.

There seemed to be the sound of bells ringing in his ears, crisp and melodious, vigorous and light.

The change happened silently, and gradually spread.

It was different from Lingsu's spiritual power. When her ability was activated, it often made people unable to feel the changes around them, and by the time they reacted, there was already an earth-shattering change.

White Orchid didn't know that Lingsu had such an ability, or rather, there were no more than three people who knew about this, including Leibaun.

He was distracted by the sound of the bell, and by the time he came back to his senses, the barrier he had set up earlier had already shattered. The Gotozonin family surrounded them in a circle, and it looked like they didn't want to let anyone go.

"Lingsu." Leibaun's gaze fell on Lingsu.

Lingsu softly replied, "Yes."

She floated up from the ground, her snow-white hair floating in the air like water ripples.

She appeared very stable, but very fast, and arrived in front of White Orchid.

The two of them exchanged blows in the air.

Unfortunately, the "Dream Weaving" continued. Gradually, White Orchid didn't know whether or not he had hit Lingsu, and which of his attacks was real and which were fake.

After passing through another ethereal shadow, Lingsu appeared behind White Orchid, and the handle of the umbrella in her hand swept under his neck. She looked for the right direction, and pressed down on his carotid artery, locking his throat.

"This isn't a good place to talk," she said calmly. "Let's go somewhere else."

"Wait, don't go yet!" Nureyeon rushed over.

"Bang —"

There was an explosion.

A grenade was suddenly thrown between them and Lingsu's group, and the heat wave from the explosion stopped them in their tracks.

Although it was only for a short moment, it was enough for Lingsu's group to withdraw from the encirclement.

When the fog dissipated, Lingsu and White Orchid's group had already disappeared.

Abe Haruaki's expression darkened.

"Find them."

·

"Are we still unable to contact the Government of the Time?" In a hotel room, everyone was gathered together.

The previous explosion was the Prison Temple's attempt to save the situation. It was Ling Su and Li Baoen who had calculated the time that he would rush here. Because of Prynne's calculations, he was in a difficult position, so he deliberately waited for the right moment.

"We can't contact them," Lingsu said.

She had already taken off half of her clothes and was leaning against the bed in the bedroom. Her body was covered with a thin quilt.

Her exposed upper body was only wearing a sling, and the bandages wrapped around her chest were slightly exposed.

Had she dodged the Fatal Blow?

But she hadn't completely dodged it. In addition, she had dodged the second attack by him and White Orchid, which had worsened her original injury.

Knee Bolus, who had always been more attentive than his brother in taking care of others, was packing up the medical equipment. It was obvious that he was the one who had just bandaged the Divine Inquisitor's wound.

There were only two girls in the group. One was injured, and the other was as weak as Lingsu when she was injured. This job of taking care of others naturally fell to the Funerary Deities, who were loyal to the Lord and had signed a contract with her.

After packing up the equipment, Knee Bolus was a little shocked by the Divine Inquisitor's endurance.

Although the sword had pierced through the heart, the flesh on the wound had been torn apart. She had also used her spiritual power to prevent the blood from leaking out of the wound, making it even more hideous. Even he felt the pain when he saw it.

But when the Divine Inquisitor was bandaging her wound, her face was as pale as paper. Her body trembled slightly, and her eyes were half-closed. She didn't say a word.

He put away the medical bag and stood up.

"What's going on outside?" After a while, the Divine Inquisitor asked.

"The Gotozonin family has issued an arrest warrant. Nuraya-gumi and Hanabusa House haven't made any moves openly, but they have sent people to search in secret," Tsunayoshi said.

"What about the White Orchid?"

"Teacher Leibaun has found a way to control him," Tsunayoshi paused and said hesitantly, "Or rather, he has never thought of leaving."

"... I understand."

For people who were a little crazy and didn't act according to the rules — — such people's actions were the most difficult to predict.

Because most of the time, their thoughts were improvised.

But it didn't matter.

Lingsu leaned against the headboard. Knee Bolus propped up the pillow and adjusted it to match her leaning height. Then, he took a few steps back and stood in a position that wouldn't affect the Lord, but would allow him to serve her the fastest.

— — It should be time for them to go back.

Before she came, she gave a command to Fox's Aid.

If someone tried to hack into Fox's Aid's system again, then her protection measures would retaliate.

At that time, this place would be completely isolated from the Government of the Time.

This was indeed very risky. They might not be able to go back at all. But at the same time, the internal threats of the government wouldn't be able to threaten them, because all the channels that could be opened would be closed.

But at the same time, she left a gap for herself.

It was that female staff member.
