Chapter 814: Shigure Tendo, is that you!?
Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Kurisu
The warrior cut off his own head. His entire body collapsed and then vanished, leaving behind nothing but the sword covered in black flames which floated in midair.
The next second, some of the demonic mist gathered and constricted as it created a new human form. The one-armed warrior’s body was recreated. The remaining demonic mist calmed down and condensed back into the dark red glowing light.
The warrior continued onward as if nothing had happened. He walked into the dense white mist.
A red torii stood before him.
The warrior walked over. The torii immediately started shaking as it swiftly went from red to black.
The warrior passed through the torii right as it turned completely black. Icy cold white mist swarmed all around him, yet this was unable to impede him in any way.
Some cherry blossoms fell as a shrine appeared from within the mist.
Seiji and his friends were standing guard in front of the shrine. They saw this one-armed warrior who arrived by himself.
“You’re…” Seiji instantly was reminded of Shigure Tendo’s berserk state that forced him to load back at the Bloodwine Ritual tournament. “Shigure Tendo?”
This one-armed warrior greatly resembled the berserk Shigure Tendo from back then. Was this him again?
While Seiji had his doubts, the warrior continued walking over as if he hadn’t seen anyone in his path.
“Shigure Tendo, is that you!?” Seiji asked in a loud voice.
The warrior paused for a slight moment.
He didn’t respond.
The warrior continued walking forward.
Just the simple action of him walking forward was giving Seiji and his friends a tremendous sense of pressure.
“Everyone, back away,” Seiji told his companions.
No matter if this one-armed warrior was Shigure Tendo or not, it was evident that he was quite strong. Seiji felt that it was likely that only he would be able to directly fight against this warrior.
Natsuya and the others all listened and immediately retreated.
They could all sense that this warrior was incredibly dangerous. He appeared to be human, but it also seemed like some tremendous and terrifying existence was hidden within him. Although he was similar to the boss monsters in the Domain, this warrior was far stronger.
Seiji went up to the warrior while his friends retreated.
The warrior raised his sword covered in black flames.
The next moment, he suddenly vanished as he attacked with lightning speed that left afterimages. He aimed his sword directly at Seiji’s chest…
Yanagi Family sword technique, New Moon style, “Heartseeker Sword”!
Telekinesis clone constructed!
Spirit sword, “White Lotus”!
Seiji instantly cast his spells and created a golden clone in front of himself. A white spirit sword formed in Seiji’s hand as he counterattacked!
*Boom!*
The black flame sword sliced through the telekinesis clone, sending out shock waves that traveled more than ten meters. Meanwhile, the white spirit sword was destroyed by the warrior.
This was within Seiji’s expectations.
Killing curse, “Shadow Pierce”!
The shattered spirit sword revealed a fatal black needle that shot out from within, aiming directly for the warrior’s mask!
*Whoosh…* The warrior dodged successfully.
He only needed to slightly adjust his body to dodge this real attack hidden in the white spirit sword. The warrior twisted around and swept with his longsword, directly attacking Seiji’s real body…
Yanagi Family sword technique, New Moon style, “Slicing through Water”!
There was a loud rumble as the black flames expanded rapidly like a tidal wave!
Seiji managed to jump up into the air in time to dodge this. He created another White Lotus spirit sword as well as reconstructed another telekinesis clone. Seiji and his clone then both attacked the warrior from midair!
The warrior didn’t attempt to dodge as he sliced upwards with his sword. The warrior’s sword exploded with flames as it clashed against both White Lotus swords and repulsed them!
He then followed up with an ultimate sword technique…
Evil Goddess technique, “Execution”!
Black flames instantly shot forth as the golden telekinesis clone was slain for a second time. Seiji barely managed to block this powerful attack which knocked him back seven to eight meters.
Seiji was now absolutely certain that he was fighting against Shigure Tendo!
Seiji was familiar with Shigure’s sword techniques from previously fighting against and together with him during the Bloodwine Ritual tournament. Seiji felt that there was a more than ninety percent probability that this warrior was Shigure Tendo. The less than ten percent was that this warrior was someone else who knew the same sword techniques.
Why would Shigure appear here in such a state!?
Had he joined the Messengers? Or, were the Messengers taking advantage of him?
Seiji felt that the latter was more likely.
Although Seiji didn’t know Shigure very well, Seiji felt that Shigure was the type of person who would be very easy to take advantage of and used by others.
It was unknown what butterfly effect had caused Shigure to attack the White Sakura Goddess, differing from the Destruction Timeline.
But no matter what, it was certain that it was due to Seiji’s loading and changing the timeline that this situation arose. From a certain standpoint, he was responsible for Shigure becoming like this.
Seiji was willing to take this responsibility.
“Demon Suppression Bell”!
A golden bell appeared and covered the Evil White Sakura Goddess’s warrior. However, the warrior broke through the bell in a mere two seconds.
Seiji created a telekinesis clone for the third time. He no longer tried to fight directly in melee range. Instead, he started putting distance between them while using long-range magic attacks!
Although Seiji’s telekinesis clone was in no way weak, the clone seemed as fragile as a sheet of paper in front of the warrior’s sword. The clone was slain over and over again. Yet, due to Seiji’s clever manipulations, his constant clone onslaught was able to successfully stall the warrior.
If this had been Natsuya or anyone else from Seiji’s group attempting this, they would have been courting death. It was unlikely that even all of them combined would have a fighting chance!
This one-armed warrior was just about undefeatable in melee.
At the very least, not a single person present was capable of facing him directly in melee. Not even Seiji Kamijou would be able to accomplish this. Although the warrior’s other attacks and techniques could still be blocked or dodged, his ultimate Evil Goddess technique was ridiculously powerful! It was unmistakable that this technique possessed the Evil White Sakura Goddess’s power.
The dark red light around the warrior dimmed slightly after he received several successive spell attacks.
“Arrrghhhhhh!!!!”
He suddenly started trembling all over while making a scream of pain. The runes on his body shone with bright scarlet as the light around him became agitated. This light transformed into a dense dark red mist that then expanded into a gigantic umbrella-shaped barrier!
Seiji shot out a sword of light that was completely absorbed by the umbrella-shaped barrier. His attack seemed to do no damage.
This seemed like a second stage of a boss battle where the boss was undergoing a transformation.
“Everyone, attack!” Seiji immediately decided to have all his friends in the distance launch their attacks.
Natsuya and the others had all prepared their attack techniques and spells already. They immediately cast their abilities simultaneously!
Lightning, wind blades, sharp icicles, spiritual blades, Mana Bullets, insects, and demons… all sorts of high-powered long-range attacks were aimed directly at the one-armed warrior!!!
*Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!!* A deafening noise could be heard.
The warrior’s umbrella-shaped barrier blocked the torrential tide of attacks!
However, there was still clear evidence that he’d expended a decent amount of energy in forcefully having his barrier absorb all these blows, since his umbrella-shaped barrier became a bit smaller.
Evil Goddess technique, “Destruction Slash”!
The one-armed warrior raised his sword, creating a pillar of flames around it that shot up towards the skies. He then slashed with his sword and created a gigantic tornado of dark flames that shot towards Seiji’s friends in the distance!
Reversal spell, “Dragon Counterattack”!
Seiji had his telekinesis clone stand in front of his friends and cast the counterspell to block the dark flame tornado and send it right back towards the warrior in the form of a golden dragon!
Although the telekinesis clone succeeded in countering the dark flame tornado, it was pitifully destroyed yet again by the overwhelming power.
The warrior charged towards Seiji’s real body, while the golden dragon charged towards the warrior.
Seiji cast a defensive barrier spell on himself to block the attack. He allowed the golden dragon to strike both himself and the warrior!
There was an instantaneous blinding flash of light along with the sound of fierce clash.
“Seiji…” Natsuya and the others all became quite worried.
They then saw to their astonishment that the golden dragon’s light then seemed to meld into the light that came afterwards. The golden dragon reassembled itself into yet another telekinesis clone that gave off a powerful blinding holy light.
[Evolved Telekinesis Clone]! Holy Light edition!
*Pow!* Seiji’s real body was sent flying by the warrior’s attack.
*Bam!* The warrior was sent flying by a powerful attack from the [Evolved Telekinesis Clone].
It was as if the [Evolved Telekinesis Clone] had accumulated many grudges from being slain so many times. It attacked with astonishing explosive power! The clone kept chasing after the one-armed warrior while attacking furiously, keeping up the barrage of attacks from ground to midair to the ground and then back to midair yet again. Finally, the clone used its spirit sword and pierced through the warrior’s body, slicing him in half!!!
