Chapter 357 Eight-Layer Sakura: Let's be husband and wife! Sora: No way!
"You're another Seele? Never mind... Seele, this isn't the time to talk about that!"
Although he didn't understand why Hei Xi would make such a request, Qiong didn't have time to think about it, because Fei Yu Wan, who had missed with his claws, had already reacted and pointed his huge fox head at him and Xi Er—those fox eyes burst forth with surging killing intent.
[You escaped pretty fast, but how many more times can you escape... I've changed my mind! I'm going to burn you all to ashes! Then I'll ignite her soul, completely control this body, and then go out and burn everyone to ashes! Whether they're benefactors, enemies, or strangers, they'll all be burned to ashes! To fulfill my—]
"Then let's give it a try!"
Hearing what Hiyomaru said, Sora calmly took out her Flame Spear.
"However, you can't even get past me! Even without help, you're no match for me."
"Brother Qiong, if you say that, your little assistant Xi'er will be sad!"
No sooner had Seele finished protesting than the enraged Scarlet Prisoner roared and pounced with his blood-red maw. Before Sora could react, the disgruntled Black Seele stepped in front of him.
"Seele, step back!"
"Seele, follow Qiong's orders!"
However, Seele only glanced at Qiong.
"snort!"
With a cold snort, Hei Xi completely ignored Qiong's commands. Walter, who was observing the overall situation, noticed that her scarlet eyes no longer held the excitement she had shown when making demands of Qiong. Instead, they were filled with a chilling killing intent and a trace of utterly enraged madness. Old Yang noticed that the girl gripped the long handle of the scythe tightly with both hands, and a dangerously wicked smile appeared on her lips.
"Hey, you piece of trash. Who gave you permission—"
The scythe clashed violently with the flaming fox claws, sparks flying. The girl, clenching her teeth, endured an unbearable weight on her slender arms, but she didn't retreat an inch—after all, in this environment, Newton's laws were no longer valid.
"—You touched our 'reward'?!"
The moment the last word fell, Kuroki suddenly exerted force with his wrist, actually managing to repel Hiyokumaru's claw.
[Roar—! No! This Sacred Mark space is clearly under my complete control!]
The metal clashed with flesh, and Hiyokumaru, unexpectedly feeling the pain, roared and immediately retreated to confront the two. However, it clearly hadn't given up; the killing intent in its eyes intensified, and flames engulfed almost half of its body.
【Fine, you've really angered me! I'm going to burn you all! Get ready for your journey to the underworld—】
"Shut up! Your incessant chatter is so annoying!"
Hijamaru:?
The fox, who was still fuming and gathering its anger, froze abruptly when Hei hope roared and gathered its strength, its blood-red pupils instantly contracting... What the hell? Why is this little girl so angry too?
In that brief moment of surprise, the rising flames on its body seemed to freeze as well, pausing momentarily—though only for a split second.
"Chirping away, not only do you want our 'reward,' but you also want revenge? Why aren't you doing that instead of bothering us? Oh, I see, you're too ugly to show your face and can only rely on other people's bodies, right? Why don't you go to hell? Just looking at you makes me uncomfortable. So, now, immediately, right now, let me send you to hell! Get out of my sight! Don't worry, I was in a bad mood just being treated like a burden, I promise I'll make you feel a lot of pain!"
After finishing her rant, Hei hope seemed to feel that words alone were not enough to vent her anger. Even though she hadn't gained much advantage in the previous attack, she still charged towards Fei Yu Wan without the slightest hesitation.
Seele pushed off the ground with her toes, her figure transforming into a dark red butterfly tearing through space within the Stigmata space. Her scythe slicing through the air, its blade condensing blood-red Honkai energy—clearly, in this attack, her anger level inexplicably at its maximum, she intended to tear this fox to shreds with her most ferocious attack…
"Seele, pay attention to teamwork! Pay attention to teamwork!"
Walter's voice echoed from the void, but Blackseeker ignored it and continued charging...
Inside the infirmary, Walter had a bad feeling: he should have realized that the obedient and well-behaved one was White Seele, not Black Seele…
Unless she is willing, no one but Seele can control this kind-hearted but temperamental girl.
……
"Seele, come back!"
Seeing Kuroki's impulsiveness, Sora didn't know what to say, but he knew he had to quickly follow and help protect Seele—what if Hishiko suddenly went mad and decided to parasitize Seele instead? Theoretically, Kuroki's negative emotions...
Qiong didn't dare to think about it anymore, grabbed her weapon and rushed forward.
In front of the dome, Kuroki's scythe was about to strike Hiyomaru's head, but Hiyomaru suddenly dodged to the side, and at the same time, one of her burning tails swept towards Kuroki like a whip. With lightning-fast reflexes, she transformed into a blur and appeared in mid-air.
Gotcha! Where do you think you're going?!
With Seele locked on, the massive fox head of the Scarlet Prisoner looked up to the sky, crimson Honkai energy gathering in its mouth to form a chilling dark red energy ball, aimed at Seele in mid-air—this reminded Sora of the tailed beast ball, the signature move of a fox demon with nine tails…
"You stinky fox, look this way!"
Just as the energy ball was about to be launched, Qiong suddenly threw out a flame spear. The flame spear, carrying equally scorching flames, rushed towards Higokumaru like a meteor. Distracted by this, Higokumaru had to be distracted to prepare to defend against the flame spear thrown by Qiong, and his action of concentrating his attack was also noticeably paused.
"Rules are for—"
Qiong leaped up with both legs, grabbing a gleaming baseball bat and charging towards the fox head.
"Broken!"
In an instant, Sora, who had rushed under Hiyomaru's head, unleashed her full power and smashed her staff into the fox's jaw.
【roar--!】
Higoro, who had been gathering the "Tailed Beast Ball," was struck by a staff, causing him to grit his teeth and shatter them, with an explosive roar emanating from his mouth. Perhaps due to the explosion in his mouth, Higoro, the entire fox, suddenly lost his balance and crashed heavily onto the ruins of Yae Village.
"Brother Qiong, well done!"
Seeing that Qiong had seized the opportunity, Hei hope shouted approvingly in the air, then transformed into a streak of light and rushed towards the fallen Fei Yu Wan. Her scythe was slashing fiercely at Fei Yu Wan's body.
I want revenge!
But this is, after all, a spiritual world. In terms of willpower, Hiyomaru, who is supported by hatred, cannot be defeated by an accidental explosion. The flames on the fox on the ground are even more intense, and the entire Stigmata Space is even shrouded in heat after Hiyomaru ignites himself.
Fire Tail collided with Blackie's scythe. Although it must have been in pain judging from the fox's roar, Blackie, who was knocked away, didn't seem to be in good spirits either.
Just before Hei hope was sent flying backwards and landed, Qiong caught her from behind without her noticing.
"Seele, are you alright?"
Seeing the worried look in Qiong's eyes, Hei hope's little emotions ultimately did not erupt.
"It's nothing, it's just that this fox is quite resilient."
She suddenly turned her head, freeing one hand to stroke Qiong's face, and a hint of friendliness appeared in her eyes, which had just been filled with murderous intent towards the fox.
"Are you trying to make it up to Seele? Then it's a deal, a few nights a week? Bronya's stories aren't enough for Seele, how many stories do you have to tell? Qiong, brother, brother~"
Walter & Dome: ...
I couldn't understand it, but I was deeply moved.
Hei Xi deliberately dragged out the last part of the address, his eyes filled with a hint of triumphant excitement, yet also with an attitude that left no room for refusal.
Don't go too far!
At this moment, the burning Higokumaru struggled to his feet, the flames on his body growing even more violent.
"You think you can defeat me like this? How naive! Come on! Since you care about her so much, then die together with her and me! Die, all of you! If I can't beat you, I'll burn myself and blow this school to the heavens!"
"Blow St. Freya into the sky?"
Without saying a word, Qiong immediately shielded Kuroki behind her. This Hiyomaru... was he forcing him to get serious?
"You're going to blow up the school? Did you ask me about the baseball bat and the flamethrower I have?"
After saying that, he put away his baseball bat and focused on his flame gun, his aura and the flames at the tip of the gun suddenly intensified.
【What, are you going to set yourself on fire to stop me too? Hahaha, you're so naive—】
"Flying Fish Ball, what do you know! Old man, behave yourself! Ignite? I won't say anything like 'ignite yourself' or anything like that, because after burning, all that's left is ashes!"
SP: Boruto is an exception, because that stuff is non-flammable.
"The spearhead is already lit—"
Just as Hiyomaru was mocking him, the Sky Flame Spear slashed forward, and three walls of fire suddenly appeared in the Holy Mark Space, blocking Hiyomaru's retreat.
Unconcerned, the Scarlet Prison Maru opened its massive maw once more, unleashing a torrent of flames that shot towards them without warning.
Seeing this, Qiong stopped attacking, pressed the Flame Spear down, and an amber-colored transparent shield instantly formed, blocking the flames. The flames and the shield collided violently, emitting a blinding light.
"I already said, who gave you permission to touch our 'compensation'?!"
Kuroki's eyes flashed, and several huge dark red hands suddenly burst out from the shadows beneath Hiyomaru. Although they failed to interrupt Hiyomaru's attack, they successfully prevented it from increasing its output.
"Now! With this blazing fire—"
Qiong's figure shot into the sky like a cannonball, his hair and eyes rapidly transforming, his flame spear trailing a purple tail several meters long, and his whole being transformed into an indomitable blazing meteor.
"Nothing can be cut off!"
Amidst Hiyomaru's fiery attack, the dome surged upwards against the flow of the attack, delivering a powerful blow that struck with pinpoint accuracy the most dazzling three-tomoe mark on Hiyomaru's forehead.
No—! I haven't...
Hishigoro let out a desperate roar, the three tomoe on its forehead shattering instantly under the fierce thrust of the flame spear. Its massive body trembled violently, and the flames around it began to uncontrollably turn purple and burn fiercely.
As the Flame Spear penetrated deeper, the flames inside Hiyokumaru's body were completely burned out, and its massive body crashed to the ground.
"Brother Qiong, did we win?"
With her blue eyes and white hair already dyed, Sora poked the still-undissipated "corpse" of Higokumaru with her flaming spear and nodded solemnly.
"Hmm, I think so..."
I just don't know if that attack was too ruthless and killed Himeko, and then I'll lose one Jizo Soul... Oh well, it doesn't matter whether I have it or not, he won't need it anyway—one more Divine Key won't make a difference, and losing one won't make a difference either.
wow-
Suddenly, the Sacred Mark Space began to shake violently, the earth cracked open, and the cracks spread out like a spider web.
"what happened?"
The scythe vanished, and the personality shifted. Startled, Seele instinctively burrowed into Qiong's arms.
"Qiong, Seele! You've succeeded, but the Sacred Mark Space is about to collapse! You need to get out as soon as possible!"
At the same time, a passageway appeared at the site of the former Yae Shrine.
"Hurry through here, you'll wake up once you get through!"
"Alright! Seele, let's go!"
Following Lao Yang's suggestion, Qiong grabbed Xier and ran towards the passage without hesitation. But just as they were about to step into the light gate, Qiong suddenly stopped, the force of which was so great that Xier almost bumped into her.
"Brother Qiong, what's wrong?"
"And there's Yae Sakura! Yae Sakura, Yae-sensei, come here!"
