Beng San, I have an unfinished date with her

But she is not reconciled!

Change comes quietly: 155. A wavering heart

Very unhappy!

Why!

...

Because...I did something wrong?

She suddenly figured something out.

"......"

"No, I don't admit it!"

"deny!"

With the flames already reaching her neck, she rushed towards Sakura.

"Alas..." Yae Sakura lamented, raised her sword, and her expression became sharp and firm.

To empty her mind and face the black mist that the Higamaru turned into, all she needed was——

cut off.

brush!

The black mist formed during Hijimaru's sprint was split into two by Yae Sakura. In this deep space of consciousness, she used the power of Herrscher and the swordsmanship she learned from Takashi...

She originally wanted to kill it directly, but this was her deep consciousness space, not the outside.

So Sakura changed her mind.

She still cut it off, but it was cut off firmly...

Cut off the connection between Hijamaru and himself in the deep consciousness.

And the flame burning on the black mist will completely drive it out of his consciousness.

At this time, in the superficial stigmata space, Hijamaru lost control of Sakura, separated from Sakura's body, and ran towards the corpse of the giant fox in the distance.

Yae Sakura carries Hitamamaru's power.

Flame leaves the body and returns to nirvana.

...

"The Herrscher of Corrosion - Hijamaru!"

At the same time as Sakura declared, the giant fox roared, crawled, and immediately sprinted!

This time, it poured all its power into it, all the power it could use in this stigmata space!

"die--!"

There is absolutely no way to escape, this is the final showdown between the two!

Countless balls of fire rain formed out of thin air, densely packed layer after layer, and together with the giant fox Hiegomaru, they headed towards Sakura and Takashi behind her!

This is its full strength. Every step of its fierce charge breaks the ground, enough to form deep tunnels and ravines!

The output of power brought extremely huge kinetic energy, causing Hijamaru's huge body to explode at extremely fast speeds at the moment of sprinting, and even produced a sonic boom!

The Yae Village, which was already in ruins, was once again swept away by the air current left behind it. The gravel and grass flew wildly, and the whistling sound spread throughout the stigma space.

The nearby burning village buildings were actually extinguished by the random airflow, while the distant places were burned even more.

"Sakura, go ahead."

"Ah."

Yae Sakura responded resolutely, watching Hijamaru sprint towards him, he raised the Soul Demon Sword with one hand, and the sharp edge of the red sword stood like a line on the path of Hijamaru!

The other hand pulled out another short knife from his waist.

Clear fighting spirit burned and surged through her body, like the flaming armor of an ancient armor.

"Let everything be settled...Higomaru."

The two swords in Yae Sakura's hands were linked together with a sword flower. She mobilized the power in her body, turned over in the air and slashed out——

In an instant, two crescent-shaped flaming blades with a width of more than ten meters formed a cross shape and flew towards Hijamaru at a faster speed!

"Boom--!"

When the flame blade collided with the Hijamaru, a huge wave erupted, and the smoke and dirt flew away instantly, almost covering all the vision.

Under the impact of this energy burst, the dense fireballs in the air accompanying Hijamaru either exploded directly or fell in other directions.

After the huge roar stopped, there was really no trace of the existence of Yae Village on the nearby land. Only the shrine on the mountain behind had not been completely destroyed, but it was also wailing in the flames.

The sound of Hijamaru's rapid running also disappeared.

The power that Hitamamaru and Yae Sakura can use to belong to the core of the Herrscher in the unfinished God Key has already surpassed the original corrosive Herrscher consciousness.

"Sakura, it's still alive. Don't let down your guard during the battle."

"oh, I understand now."

After a while, there was a sound in the smoke and dust. It was the sound of animals shaking off debris from their bodies.

Suddenly there was a hint of red in the smoke. After diffraction and refraction, it looked like a huge explosion was brewing in the smoke!

"Hmm—!" Yae Sakura realized something was wrong, and a huge pillar of fire spurted out from the smoke, exploding the huge smoke ball at once!

It was Hijamaru dragging the incomplete black smoke-like fox body and still opening his mouth to attack with all his strength.

Yae Sakura dodged to the side, then raised her two swords and jumped forward against the huge flame pillar!

The flame pillar penetrated straight into the mountain behind and exploded.

That violent explosion seemed to turn into the backdrop of Yae Sakura's firm look, her silver teeth biting down gently, making her look so in the eyes of Higuomaru——

Handsome...

Sakura's strong and vigorous figure reached its highest point, matched with her flame armor, dragging the smoke and dust that had not yet fallen in the sky to fall rapidly towards Hijamaru.

Hijamaru couldn't resist...

The blow just now used up all the power it could mobilize at the moment.

It didn't even use its Honkai power to repair its broken fox body.

This way it simply...

"Do not--!"

Even so, it still struggled to raise its head and jumped up with all the strength of its body, trying to use its mass to collide with the falling Sakura.

But...Sakura has power.

This blow was different from the previous one.

She recalled everything in the past in an instant.

Give away all your regrets, unwillingness, luck, happiness, joy... everything until now.

Pay it all.

“昘—!”

Yae Sakura's body suddenly accelerated without any support in the air, like a red lotus comet. The crimson color spanned the distance between the two in an instant and penetrated Higuomaru's body.

Sakura's slender white legs moved forward and backward, squatting down on the messy ground. The two knives were crossed under her body at a certain angle, serving as the terrifying sharp blades that cut through the body of Hijamaru.

Sakura exhaled as she relaxed her strength.

The Hidama Pill in mid-air turned into four pieces of black mist and fell down.

....As it fell, everything in the entire stigma space began to fade away.

Yae Sakura closed her eyes and stood up in meditation, then sheathed her swords handsomely.

Space seems to be shrinking...

In the distance, Takashi and Yae Sakura came together in the invisible contraction of space.

"Huh? Is this over?" Yae Sakura asked Xiang Long as she looked around, seeing nothing in the darkness.

Long shook his head: "No, it's still there, I can feel it...it's just that...well, it's similar to a temporary coma."

As he finished speaking, a glimmer of light shone in the darkness around them.

Then it expanded rapidly, completely replacing the darkness in their eyes.

"This...could it be said to be..." Long stopped speaking and moved his throat...

Yae Sakura looked at Takashi's troubled expression with some confusion, then looked towards his gaze...

A student-like pink-haired girl sat on the bed in the white room that was surrounded by a prison-like environment, hugging her knees, with a confused and overwhelmed face.

"Takashi... this?" Yae Sakura was about to ask, but something suddenly occurred to her, and her eyes widened: "Could it be that she is Sakura's sister... Suzu?"

"..."

"Ah...that's what happened when it was born..."

"Isn't...Higomaru already unconscious?" Sakura still remembered what Takashi had just said.

Long nodded but said nothing.

Yae Sakura could only continue to observe everything around her.

She touched the door on the side, but found that it could not be opened... to be precise, her hand penetrated directly through it.

She also realized that it was true as Takashi said, this was the...dream of Hijamaru's coma?Or is it the most profound memory fragment?

She thought like this and looked at the girl on the hospital bed.

Finally, she felt it.

"This feeling! Herrscher... the fluctuations of Hijamaru."

"...Well, Hijamaru was actually born before Suzu entered the custody room here...it was just hidden in Suzu's mind and silently receiving and learning everything around it."

Sakura paused, and she remembered the story Takashi told her when she gave him a massage more than three months ago.

In that story...

The Herrscher's outburst is here.

And the source of everything is the resentment of those soldiers who were given their faith.

Yae Sakura just turned her attention to the solid glass of this white steel door that she had never seen before.

"boom--!"

A man's head appeared in front of the glass with a twisted expression of extreme hatred, and he punched the glass with his gloved hand.

Change comes quietly: 156. The truth behind the birth of the Herrscher

This doesn't scare her.

Now she has recovered her memory, gained the power from Hiegomaru and Hitamaru, and has been strengthened like never before, far beyond what she could compare to when she was just a miko in the past.

Naturally, I can clearly see the actions of this person, react completely in my brain, and control my instinct.

She quickly looked aside. The little girl was obviously frightened.

He hurriedly hid in the corner in panic.

Sakura couldn't help but grasp the handle of the knife in the corner of her eyes... She wanted to hold the girl in her arms to comfort her, or go and drive away all the people outside... But this was just a fragment of memory.

I walked outside and still couldn't touch them...

Even if it's just a fragment of the memory, it's still a little annoying to watch it like this.

The faces full of hatred on the glass changed many times one after another, and under Sakura's confusion, they installed something on the door and glass.

"Hmm...could this be an explosive?"

Before Sakura could finish her words, a roaring sound entered the room, and flames exploded on the glass.
