章 2396: Her Fear

She saw herself in its broken and distorted image.

In the reflection, she saw herself standing on a path.

Her path.

Just a few steps away ahead of her was a gate.

An enormous and grand gate.

It was waiting for her. 

It was waiting for her arrival.

In her eyes, there was longing.

She longed to walk over to it and cross it.

Yet, there was an even greater emotion that held her back.

"Fear."

Ieyasu's voice brought her back from the real world. 

Only to be confronted by a powerful blow surging towards her. His powerful hands sharpened as they converged into a single point. The sum totality of his power passed through the singularity as his body moved with such great speed and power that his entire body had become a blade.

His first attack of the battle.

It was more powerful than any attack she had ever thrown.

BOOOOOM!!!

CRACK!
