Chapter 296: No Way To Run!
i nodded upon hearing that. Then, she took a deep breath and looked at Oto Sakagami, whose head was on the ground in front of her. Her fear slowly disappeared. After all, she got used to it after looking at it for so ti.
Oto Sakagami’s length of ti while standing up was shorter than the length of ti when her head was on the ground. However, looking at the paralyzed villagers of Sakagami Village around her, she could not help but feel pity for them.
If what Oto Sakagami said was true, then she did not do anything wrong and she was only a victim. However, these villagers of Sakagami Village were also victims. Oto Sakagami should have seeked revenge from the person who hurt her instead of them. There was no point in seeking revenge from hurting those who did not know anything about her.
She conducted so research about it at the back just now. She estimated that Oto Sakagami’s claim for revenge was fake, but her intention to do sothing with the Formation seed to be true.
Regardless of what she was planning to do, she was still not allowed to kill innocent people.
While thinking, i reached for the bow bag from her back and placed it in front of her. After she opened the zipper, an iron colored bow ca into Kimura Kazuki’s sight.
It was a standard Maruki bow which was about 2.2 ters long. The Maruki bow had the characteristics and curves of a Han bow. Due to its great shooting power, the target shot by the bow would suffer great damage as if he was accepting the Maruki punishnt. Thus, it was known as the Maruki bow in so areas. For close encounters, the archer would remove the bowstring and insert an iron tip into one end of the bow to convert it into a spear.
The Broken Demon Bow in front of her looked like a Maruki bow. At one glance, it looked as if it was made of iron but it was actually made from an unknown kind of wood when observed carefully. Its whole body was as black as ink without any fancy patterns. No one would even know what was in i’s hands in a night as dark as this one if they did not observe carefully.
Kimura Kazuki noticed a stench of blood as soon as the Broken Demon Bow was taken out. The stench ca from the bowstring.
Noticing that Kimura Kazuki had his attention on the bowstring, Sei Shigeru smiled and said, “The bowstring of the Broken Demon Bow is made of dragon tendon. It was drenched with dragon blood when it was made and the sll lasts for a long ti, giving it the ability to control demons and ghosts! This is also the origin of its na, ‘Broken Demon Bow’.”
Kimura Kazuki nodded but did not take it seriously. It would be really stupid for him to believe that it was made from dragon tendon. He had slled the dragon blood in his previous life during the recuperation of reiki when snakes were cultivating into dragons before they finally beca a Deity Dragon. One of the dragons spent all its money in the cultivating and evolution process so it took its own blood and sold them to the Spiritual Academy during its free ti.
He had been observing that dragon from afar.
That was why he could tell that the sll was not from dragon blood. It was probably the blood of so monster.
i was a little nervous at that ti. However, she could sense a calming energy coming from her palm whenever she was starting to get nervous. After exhaling, she held the Jade of Four Souls and felt the pure power from within. She then looked at Oto Sakagami who was not far away. Looking at her pretty and pure face which was revealing curiosity, her heart got a little hesitant but as soon as she saw the villagers nearby, her reluctance dispelled imdiately.
She pulled the bowstring very slowly. The Broken Demon Bow was very heavy but she was used to it as she had been carrying it every single day for so ti. However, although the weight caused no problem for her, it was still difficult for her to draw the Broken Demon Bow fully. She could only make three full draws with her current strength.
The draw took her half a minute. As the bowstring bent gradually, the reiki in i’s body was gradually condensing from her hands. An arrow transford by reiki was soon ford. The Broken Demon Bow had no specific arrows. Only reiki could form an arrow for it.
The arrow on the Broken Demon Bow this ti was different than the previous golden arrow ford by reiki. Since the power of the Jade of Four Souls was integrated into the golden arrow this ti, i could sense that sothing was different. The difference was due to the integration of the power of the Jade of Four Souls, which made it even more difficult for i!
When it was being ford, i’s face started to turn pale and she was sweating bullets. She did not expect that the pure power mixed with the Jade of Four Souls could make it so difficult for her.
Asuka, who was next to her, took a towel to wipe off her sister’s sweat. Sei Shigeru was also concerned. “i, are you ok?”
Obviously, it was worriso as this had never appeared before.
i was clenching her teeth. Instead of answering her grandfather’s words, she looked at Kimura Kazuki and said, “Kimura-kun, I can only shoot three arrows at max and I can’t draw the bowstring fully.”
She had been calling him Master Kimura before this but Asuka and i changed how they addressed him after they got familiar with him, which made them feel closer to each other. Kimura Kazuki naturally did not object since he never cared about how people addressed him.
“I see.” Kimura Kazuki nodded solemnly upon hearing that.
He would have to deal with Oto Sakagami by himself if the three shots did not kill her.
When Oto Sakagami, who was observing the scene from not far away, saw that the Broken Demon Bow was drawn, her heart thumped as a strong sense of crisis ca to her and she wanted to flee. She had a premonition as her body was targeted by the Broken Demon Bow.
The arrow would definitely hit her as soon as the bow is released.
Oto Sakagami’s heart was pounding frantically. She opened her mouth but before she was able to say anything ...
Swish—
A swishing noise was heard as a golden light mixed with the color of a white moon ca in a flash and struck her.
“Ah!” A shrill voice was heard from Oto Sakagami. The next mont, her newly resurrected body exploded. However, surprisingly, no flesh and blood were seen from her body. There were blood colored clouds rising instead.
It was a good shot!
In an instant, Kimura Kazuki tracked Oto Sakagami with his senses and found that her physical body was completely eliminated and there were only blood colored clouds and smoke left. They filled the air before a figure made from the cloud and smoke was ford.
“Impossible! Why?” Oto Sakagami lost her sweet voice at that mont. Her voice beca hoarse and unpleasant to hear. Without her body, she was just a cloud of smoke. That was when she realized that she could not let her body co back to life.
Although the blood colored clouds ford a human shape, it was blurry and could not be seen clearly at that mont. It was as if she might dissipate imdiately if blown by the wind. Of course, that would be impossible. After all, Oto Sakagami’s original form was a blood colored cloud.
i did not speak. She could feel Oto Sakagami’s fear and it made her feel inexplicably excited. All this while, she thought that she was only following her grandfather to take a look at the world. But now, she felt like she was a part of the team.
Oto Sakagami’s expression would have dramatically changed the mont she saw that, if she still had her face.
“Stop moving or I will have no rcy to these villagers even if I’m dead!”
However, i was not moved at all. When she was drawing the bow, she said wearily as if she was trying to persuade herself, “Although I want to save the villagers from Sakagami Village, I will be deed irresponsible by others if I let you live. So, even if you threaten or murder all the villagers, I will not show rcy.”
She then stopped talking and shot another arrow, which almost drained all her physical strength.
Sei Shigeru nodded with satisfaction upon hearing that.
“You bastard!”
Oto Sakagami turned around and wanted to flee.
However, i wanted to tell her that it was useless as she was already targeted by the Broken Demon Bow. She might run, but since she was already shot once, her breath was already picked up by the bow.
There is no way for you to run.
