--- Chapter 302 ---
After sensing the other seashores, Kaguya opened her eyes and stared at the clear ocean.
Her enemy is more than 100.000 people with powerful weapons on their sides. They are strong, but Kaguya has several ways to defeat them.
Kaguya's byakugan triggered nerves around her eyes, turning her vision dark and white. Everything became visible, and not even a barrier could obstruct her observation.
She summoned her spirit rings and caused a shock reaction on the other side. Six crimson halos surrounded her gently.
A blue crystal-like tiara appeared on Kaguya's head, adorning her beautiful face with more charm.
"Nature's Call." Kaguya chanted while slowly raising her hand to the sky, summoning a humongous tree from the deep sea.
BOOOOOOOM!
.
.
A man with a metal mask on his face stared at this scenery with disbelief. The entire seashore suddenly became a lush forest filled with humongous trees.
He couldn't help but frown because the terrain changes would cause danger to his squad.
It's not just him who thought like this because every squad leader in Kaguya's territory has similar thoughts.
"Send drones to the target." The 9th squad/unit captain calmly commanded while pressing his palm onto the ocean surface.
He frowned and added, "Don't bother to use underwater's way because I couldn't sense anything there."
"Someone must have used some petty tricks to meddle with my scan."
"Captain Ming, our drones are destroyed." A radio call entered the 9th squad captain's earpiece. "We can't see everything beyond this forest."
"Arghhh!"
"ENEMY-!!"
The voice suddenly was disturbed by an unknown force, causing Lin Ming to frown solemnly.
Lin Ming, the captain of the ninth squad, has never experienced something like this. It's been 14 years since they returned to this era, and they suddenly were greeted with something like this.
Overconfidence is one thing, but humans are afraid of the unknown.
It's an instinct they cannot erase from their blood.
Lin Ming activated his martial soul and prepared himself for any incoming attack. His eyes scanned around the forest and saw a vine lashing at him.
BAM!
He dodged and saw the vine hitting the sea surface, splashing sea water everywhere.
A spark of fire appeared on Lin Ming's palm, covering his entire hand with a burning flame. The temperature changed, making the flame from orange to white in a second.
"White Candle." He chanted and waved his palm in the air.
BOOM!
A wave of flame rushed the vine and burned it quickly.
However, as Lin Ming focused on the first vine, a few more appeared from the nearest tree and began to attack him.
"Frost Walker." He summoned his second spirit ring, changing the temperature around his legs.
The air froze and enabled Lin Ming to step on it, dodging the vines around him.
"Chill Spark." He aimed his leg and fist at the vines.
Lin Ming blasted a powerful white flash, a terrifying cold-heat combination through specific energy control.
BOOM!
The trees around Lin Ming moved like they had consciousness and spawned five blue cylinder spears.
Lin Ming frowned and instinctively activated his 8th class defensive barrier.
His eyes twitched in disbelief because the blue spear moved like lightning, striking his barrier.
CLANK! CLANK! CLANK! CLANK! BOOM!
He could only defeat four spear strikes, leaving the last one to demolish his barrier.
Lin Ming's body was swiftly stabbed by the blue spear, but it was only a lightning clone. He had already used his third spirit skill, running away from this disadvantaged terrain.
"I can't let myself be trapped." He commented while arriving on open water.
"Huh, Ming?" A familiar woman's voice entered Lin Ming's ears.
Lin Ming slowly moved his gaze and saw the 17th squad's captain. "Rouxi?" He said with a weird tone.
"You two come here too?" Another familiar voice caught their attention.
Ling Ming's eyes widened because the voice was from the 10th squad's captain. He was shocked because several squad captains arrived in the same place.
'This is not a coincidence.' He thought while looking back, but it was covered by trees already. The narrow path that led him to this place had gotten sealed.
"This is a trap-."
He was about to alert his colleagues, but a silver-haired woman in a pure white robe abruptly appeared in front of them.
Lin Ming gritted his teeth and yelled, "Everyone activated your martial soul and soul guidance tools!"
"That woman is dangerous!!"
"Threat level: RED!!!"
.
.
Kaguya watched these people with amusement inside.
They are confident in fighting against her vines and successfully run away, knowing nothing like a bunch of rats in a maze.
"How amusing, all of you," Kaguya commented and swayed her head slightly because someone threw a needle at her.
Her palm radiated with pure white energy, indicating an incoming shockwave.
"Vacuum Palm." She pointed her palm at the person who threw the needle at her a moment ago.
Lin Ming couldn't even blink his eyes and felt a powerful gust of winds sweep over him, killing one of his colleagues.
SWOOSH! BOOM!
An enormous shockwave washed over the area, sending them in all directions. Nevertheless, they cannot run away nor even think about it.
Lin Ming's eyes flickered with blue light, and Kaguya appeared above him.
He raised his arms instinctively, guarding himself against her attacks.
"You're the one with the most power here," Kaguya reached over Lin Ming's face and clenched it tightly.
She smacked him onto a tree and added, "Impressive."
"None of your strength is fake."
Lin Ming quickly summoned his martial soul and posed his hand to the sky.
BAM!
An invisible attack came to Kaguya's stomach, but she dodged it because an avatar who none couldn't see by normal means appeared in front of her.
It's a black humanoid creature with ancient armor and a weird crooked helm, floating around Lin Ming like his guardian.
"What's this?" Kaguya's Byakugan shone with curiosity.
Meanwhile, Lin Ming was speechless because Kaguya could dodge his invisible avatar's attack.
He is known to be Ghost Killer, an assassin with a 100% killing rate, but this woman dodged his invisible avatar's attack.
His martial soul is Dark Knight, a ghostly dimensional being that can affect third-dimensional space. It's a powerful tool type because no one in the Sun and Moon's lab could identify it.
"Keep attacking her." He commanded while throwing a fireball at Kaguya.
BOOM!
Kaguya dodged these attacks easily and observed the invisible martial soul. Her Byakugan could sense spirit energy inside it, but everything else was mysterious to her.
She decided to attack the invisible avatar back by releasing another vacuum palm.
BOOM!
"Hmm?" Kaguya's attack passed through Lin Ming's martial soul.
Lin Ming teleported beside Kaguya, launching several fiery punches at her.
She dodged them without any problem, but a smirk resurfaced on Lin Ming's face for some reason.
The fiery spark around her ignited by unknown means, exploding violently.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
A continuous explosion occurred for a few seconds, and Lin Ming returned to his former position. He's being cautious because this woman could be hiding something.
However, he was sure she'd receive some damage from his attack. Even Admiral Kong couldn't handle his flare bombs easily.
A thick wood barricade entered Lin Ming's sight, revealing the unscathed Kaguya. She stared at him indifferently with her ghost-like white eyes.
Kaguya raised her sleeves and saw some burn holes, causing her to frown a little. Yunlong was the one who gave her this robe.
A faint sensation gradually appeared on Kaguya's forehead.
"Just what kind of monster are you?" Lin Ming questioned while raising his hand.
His surviving colleagues raised and nodded their heads, moving in formation to surround Kaguya.
Even though they are from different squads, they have trained in Sun and Moon Empire's teaching.
"Yin-Yang's slash." A powerful white and black blade flew across the air and reached over Kaguya's wood barricade.
SLASH! BOOM!
"Golden Pyrite Sealing Lock."
Kaguya's left arm became limp for some reason, and a golden chain tattoo appeared on her skin.
They added several more restraints to Kaguya's body to the point only her eyes could move.
"Dark Knight, Attack Her!" Lin Ming commanded while posing his body.
The invisible avatar flew to Kaguya and launched a powerful punch to her head, hoping to blow it to pieces.
BAM! Crack! BOOM!
Kaguya's head crumbled into wood chips, leaving everyone in the area speechless. It's not blood nor flesh, but freaking wood chips!
"Wood Style: Wood Clone."
A peaceful yet cold voice echoed from the sky, where Lin Ming saw Kaguya floating calmly.
All this time, what they fought wasn't even the real one but a mere clone made of wood. It's humiliating and frightening because they couldn't tell it was a clone.
Not to mention that clone was able to kill one of their colleagues instantly before they could even blink an eye.
'If a clone is strong enough to trouble all of us, then what about the real one?' Lin Ming thought solemnly while looking at the sky.
Kaguya's spirit rings slowly appeared, illuminating the whole area in menacing crimson light. She's just like a blood moon, waiting to swallow them.
Lin Ming bit his lips and roared, "ALL OF YOU, USE YOUR BATTLE ARMOR."
"WE DON'T HAVE-."
Before he could finish his words, Kaguya teleported above him again, kicking him in the guts.
BAM! BOOOOOOOM!
Lin Ming drove to the trees, again and again, destroying his skin with every impact. His vision became blurry, and the Dark Knight materialized to protect him.
Cough!
"She's too strong..." He coughed a mouthful of blood.
.
.
Kaguya slowly moved her gaze to the rest of Lin Ming's colleagues.
Her Byakugan stared at them indifferently because they didn't possess a single uniqueness like Lin Ming.
"D-DON'T LOOK AT ME WITH THOSE EYES, YOU MONSTROUS BITCH!" A man in silver armor roared while moving to Kaguya, slashing the air with his sword.
Kaguya condensed natural energy in her palm and grasped his sword effortlessly.
Crack!
She added more natural energy into her palm, cracking the man's sword into spider webs.
BOOM!
The sword crumbled into dust because of Kaguya's natural energy.
The man trembled and summoned his martial soul, showcasing his spirit rings to everyone. There are nine black spirit rings surrounding him.
A cannon suddenly appeared on his shoulder.
"DIE!" He launched a beam of destruction.
However, Kaguya, who mastered energy control to the extreme, is simply the archnemesis of all energy-based attacks.
There is a reason why Xue Nu is determined to use Kaguya as an inspiration for her Empress's Palm. Her energy manipulation is just superb, exceeding Gu Yuena.
The other squad captain couldn't help but withered at the scene in front of them.
A young woman in green metal armor approached Kaguya like a snake, creating a green portal with acid inside it.
"Acid Dimension." She chanted while burying Kaguya in melting green liquid.
"Hmm, this dimension." Kaguya frowned while passing through the melting liquid.
Every inch of Kaguya's spiritual sea instantly connected with the dimension, feeling comfortable like something missing was returned to her.
Kaguya's forehead shone and opened a small slit, showing a purple light.
Lin Ming heavily breathed while landing on the open water and shouted, "ATTACK HER!"
"DON'T LET THAT WOMAN GROW EVEN FURTHER!"
The nearest squad captain activated his martial soul. An old yellow clock manifested in the air and released an intense golden light.
"The World's Clock, Minus 5." He chanted while clenching his arm, sealing Kaguya in a pressured time chamber.
Another squad captain floated in the air and summoned an enormous green wolf. "Moon's Corona." A piercing moonlight descended and added more gravity to Kaguya.
Several others also used the most effective restraint technique to overwhelm Kaguya's advance, leaving Lin Ming to finish him.
"MING, HURRY UP!!!" The 17th squad captain said while spurting blood from her mouth.
Lin Ming called Dark Knight to his side and merged all his spirit rings into one, creating a crimson red halo above his head.
"Dark Knight, Ghost's Strike."
He entered a stance and launched a powerful punch at thin air, sending a mighty intent to Kaguya's main body. His attack broke through the sound barrier, reaching over Kaguya's side.
They watched Lin Ming's attack quickly landing on Kaguya's chest, damaging her body.
However, a moment later, everything around them became frozen solid.
It's not a seashore with lush forest but a frozen world with ice everywhere.
BOOM!
All of their restraints demolished to pieces, and Kaguya walked out of the ice block gently, revealing her half-open third eye to
them.
Kaguya tilted her head a little because not all abilities awakened yet. There is still a limitation in connection with enormous energy usage.
"It's more than enough," Kaguya said while raising her palm to the sky.
"All-Killing Ash Bones..."
A short decayed twig escaped Kaguya's palm, shooting into the sky and turning into thousand pieces.
Lin Ming activated his barrier, and the other squad captain was the same. Yet, Kaguya's All-Killing Ash Bones penetrated their barrier like a ghost, reaching over their armor.
Cracks!
A loud crack of all armor getting pierced echoed simultaneously in Kaguya's dimension.
Lin Ming, who noticed the fastest, deactivated his armor and threw it away from him. "Throw away your battle armor-." He wanted to warn his colleagues, but they had turned into dust.
Kaguya and Lin Ming are the only people in this frozen world's dimension.
As Lin Ming's body temperature and injuries worsened, his vision became blurry. He couldn't even see Kaguya clearly, but his Dark Knight was always only on his side.
Kaguya slowly walked to the Dark Knight and commented, "I see."
"It's a physical manifestation of your "life energy" and will."
"Yet, you're on your death door, so I doubt you can hold your avatar any longer than a minute."
"Don't make your life miserable, and accept your death." She added while grasping Lin Ming's Dark Knight's neck with her hand.
CRACK!
"ARRRGGGHHH!" Lin Ming's neck suddenly was destroyed to paste.
"As your avatar heavily was damaged by me, you also received the same injuries."
Kaguya grasped Lin Ming's head and quickly examined his spiritual sea, finding anything worth remembering.
After a few seconds, Kaguya's hand released an intense heat and turned Lin Ming's body into dust.
"Fuu..." Kaguya breathed calmly.
"I have to return."
"Yunlong is waiting for me."
