Chapter 520: Chapter 270: Savior from the Other Side
"It’s truly fascinating. I never thought I’d see another
using the sa domain."
ii wielded a long sword temporarily constructed from Pure Magic Water, skillfully striking every water droplet falling toward her blade and shattering them.
The bun she had tied had loosened slightly after being scolded earlier, and now, in the magic power’s vibrations from the shattering droplets, it completely fell apart, cascading over her shoulders.
Just like luna said, she was unkempt, but even when ii’s hair was down, you could tell it had been well-cared for and grood, looking exceedingly smooth and lustrous, making her look exceptionally beautiful.
"It feels like looking into a mirror."
Because it was "her own" power, she knew exactly where the weaknesses were.
However, there were still slight differences, for example, this black-haired version of herself,
"When borrowing the Creation Wedge to glimpse ti nodes and ti branches, I thought, if at certain tis I made different choices, would the world also branch out differently? Could there be a day where I achieve victory?"
ii also unfolded the Torrential Sword Realm, but at this mont, her power was much weaker than the older version of herself, luna, so the two domains couldn’t neutralize each other; she could only maintain her own portion of the rain curtain, struggling against the opposing storm.
"Indeed, there exists another . Because we made different choices at certain tis, our characters have so differences."
ii danced with her sword, her petite and delicate body resembling a dancer on a stage, while luna was much more "brute force," each move containing the principles of Sword Dao, but lacking aesthetic beauty, using only what was effective.
"Your Torrential Sword Realm is really rough."
ii looked up at the colliding sword blade raindrops. Her droplets lightly fluttered down, filled with a certain grace, yet after accumulating sword montum, they overlapped into surging waves.
luna’s rain, on the other hand, consisted of large, randomly pounding droplets, seemingly containing erratic winds, filled with ever-present, violently changing assaults.
"My Sword Dao incorporates a lot of Grandpa Otto’s Sword Dao. You’re different; you use a mix, but you integrate them well."
ii said, "That last move was the Palace Swordsmanship of the Yunxiang Race’s forr Golden Sand Imperial Court, right? Speaking of which, your ex-boyfriend had a fox spirit of the Yunxiang Race by his side."
She emphasized the phrase "ex-boyfriend."
Just as she finished speaking, a blade filled with murderous intent slashed past her face, the Sword Qi stinging her cheek; had her own sword skills not been so refined, predicting the attack’s path from luna’s motion, her face would have been sliced in half.
"Oh? Riled up? So fragile," ii laughed, covering her mouth.
luna’s expression wavered, the words struck her hard.
"What if I said there wasn’t just one fox spirit, but four?"
luna froze in the rain.
"Isn’t it your own fault? You care so much about the Savior of this world, so why did you leave without a word?"
"I forgot."
"You really... I feel like your experiences are very different from mine! Weren’t you taught how to take care of yourself or interact with others?"
"No."
"No wonder," ii said helplessly, "When did you arrive on the island?"
"Not long before I t you."
ii nodded. At that ti, she was debating whether to act against this black-haired version of herself’s man. Using the Magic Guide’s spell he taught, she created a Water Demon, and because it contained high-grade power, she successfully lured away Grandpa Otto and gained an opportunity to talk with him.
"So, you should have shown up earlier, and talked to him properly. Then perhaps this wouldn’t have happened," ii sighed.
"That still isn’t a reason for you to kill him."
"If we ca here with the sa thoughts, I can’t understand why you would love him."
"Wrong."
"What’s wrong."
"It’s love."
"Love? Unbelievable. Even I can tell when you vanished without a word, is that a sign of love?"
"I wanted to regain more of my previous power to help him better."
As they conversed, amidst the flashing water and sword shadows, they both possessed the Water Affinity talent that caught the Water Dragon’s attention. The diffusing power caused ripples, gradually spreading through the vast water systems of ngze Island.
"You talk about love and help, so why don’t you consider other people’s feelings?" ii said.
luna’s sword strikes slowed a bit: "I don’t know, I’ve never been close to others before."
Her face was full of reminiscence: "Every ti I made him angry, in the end, he would always treat
well, so I never gave it much thought."
ii said, "After the island and village were destroyed by the Empire, Grandpa Otto found
and took
to the Holy City, where I t many strong Sky Knight sisters who cared for . You could say the Holy City was my true childhood. Later on, I couldn’t even rember my parents’ faces; only after coming here did I start recalling my childhood experiences."
"Oh." luna simply responded.
"It seems, during the Empire’s destruction of ngze Island, you weren’t found by Grandpa Otto."
"I knew him. He returned to the village, and I saw him die at the hands of the Empire. Magical Warships filled the sky, and nurous Annihilation Knights surrounded him while the Annihilator sank ngze Island in Nether Thunder," luna said.
ii’s expression darkened: "He also died in front of , protecting
and many kind people. I only regret not learning more, so here, whether it’s spending ti with my parents or learning from him, I cherish it greatly."
