Chapter 181 Awakening Black Flash!
“Swarming Soldiers!”
Grotesque fish-like familiars kept pouring out from Togo’s hand, charging at the black-haired girl with open mouths, determined to bite off a piece of flesh.
Yukinoshita Yukino advanced instead of retreating. Since entering Togo’s domain, she charged bravely for the first time.
The vanished familiar appeared in front of the girl. Sharp fangs, easily piercing through flesh, were cut apart as soon as they touched her pale skin by an intangible slash.
Blood and flesh splattered incessantly, forming a gore-strewn path behind her charge.
“What! Is the domain’s effect not working on her!?” Togo was shocked. However, upon closer examination, some details caught its attention, “No, that’s not it… This is!”
Togo initially dismissed Yukinoshita Yukino despite her ability to cause physical harm. During previous battles, the main attacks came from Jien Daimanju and Ino Takuma’s magical dragons.
Togo ignored her and did not analyze her spells.
Are these slashing spells?
With keen observation, Togo noticed that with continuous slashes around her body, the black-haired girl cut deep grooves into the sand in front of her, which quickly solidified under her advancing steps.
She continually activated cutting techniques to eliminate manifesting familiars.
This is exactly what she conceived after watching Jien Daimanju use “A Falling Blossom of Emotions”.
It turned out very successful.
“You damned woman!”
Togo roared and swung a fist, but Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly disappeared before reaching it.
“Huh!”
She slid underneath Togo’s body, initiating a cut that left a deep mark between its legs. Her heels severed tendons, causing Togo to kneel uncontrollably. It retaliated with an elbow strike, but missed as Yukinoshita Yukino did not attack from its blind spot.
Intuitively sensing the incoming slash, Togo jumped into the sky with her wounded legs.
“It makes sense since you can levitate,” the irritating old voice overhead said, and Jien Daimanju suddenly appeared above Togo, “If I were in your place, I would flee upward.”
“What!?”
Before Togo could speak, its body froze in a mirror surface, shattering into pieces as Jien Daimanju kicked it down towards the black-haired girl.
Ahead awaited the
Shining Black Flash!
Black!
The condensed curse energy exploded in his fist, unleashing black lightning. The red figure flew backward like a fired cannon, slamming hard onto the beach and creating a large wave of sand.
“What does Lin Qi think about when he fights?”
After a regular sparring session, Yukinoshita Yukino lay on the ground as usual and started to ponder her mistakes.
“Hmm? Let me think…”
Lin Qi, cool and collected, considered the question carefully before answering, “Nothing!”
Yukinoshita Yukino’s eyes, filled with curiosity, immediately clouded over with coldness.
“I know you’re anxious, but don’t rush.” Lin Qi raised his hands, giving a French salute to calm the irritable Yukinono Yuki.
“Thinking amid a battle is normal, because you need to consider various things: what moves your enemy will make, what their spells are, any tricks or deceptions—many such questions need answering.”
“But in a desperate fight, all thought must be abandoned and trust given to instinct.”
“You see,” Lin Qi smiled, “excessive thinking slows your reactions and limits your potential.”
“If someday you face a formidable enemy and are cornered, abandon everything and leave your instincts free to act.”
Yukinoshita Yukino murmured pensively, “Abandoning thought… Does that really work? It sounds dubious.”
“All our training prepares us for such moments.”
The black-haired youth smiled as he stepped forward, leaving a deep footprint on the sand where dust swirled behind him. His body transformed into a bolt of lightning, dashing swiftly toward the receding Togo.
Suddenly, something swelled at Togo’s waist. A massive eel burst out, mouth agape, lunging at the approaching girl; however, in an instant, it was sliced into pieces.
At least it temporarily hindered her.
Togo twisted itself mid-air to maintain balance and landed, carving two grooves in the sand.
It clenched a fist and struck, a huge fist clashing violently, yet instantly disintegrating upon impact with Yukinonoshiro’s tiny fist.
Black lightning flashed again, distorting space momentarily.
Yukinonoshiro’s force hurled Togo backward. Her palm immediately pressed against its abdomen.
Techniques released, the energy-laden slash rained fiercely onto Togo, cutting flowers of blood upon its body.
This woman!
Togo widened its eyes, enduring the slash while diving and pounding the ground.
Several monstrous sea beasts, as tall as skyscrapers, emerged from the sand beneath, crashing Yukinonoshiro away.
Larger familiars require more effort to cut; even with unceasing slashes, each strike must be precise to destroy them.
To slice such colossal forms, spontaneous slicing alone isn’t sufficient; deliberate, hand-held strikes are needed.
Togo realized this.
“The ocean is the origin of life; the Swarming Soldiers are endless familiars!”
Commit fifty percent of strength to deal with the black-haired woman!
