Clap! Clap! Clap!
The loud, crisp sound of applause echoed there.
Their entire bodies became rigid and petrified in place.
The five practitioners became alert when they saw two figures that suddenly appeared beside a tree not far from them.
"Great! Why do you guys want to rush away? Staying a little longer doesn't bother you, does it?" Ken said in a mocking tone.
Grayfia beside him walked elegantly and locked her gaze on the five people in front of her.
With just Ken's voice, Grayfia would instantly advance and kill them all.
Looking at their individual strengths, they were all far inferior compared to Grayfia.
Considering they were from the Himejima clan, Grayfia even wanted to try to test her [Ice] power with their [Fire].
But since Ken himself did not say anything, Grayfia did not move and remained obediently silent beside him.
"Who are you?!" The Jutsusha leader shouted.
Their entire bodies were completely immobilized.
The five panicked as they felt some sort of invisible force holding them in place.
"Hoo? Now you want to ask~ why did you want to leave so quickly?" Ken asked back.
"We're from the Himejima clan, if you-"
One of the members shouted out to try and scare Ken, but was cut off by Ken.
"Sssshh! I know, do you know that I have an inside man there?" Ken said.
Hearing the words of the young man in front of them, the five people became even more panicked and confused.
"Who?!" The leader of the group asked.
"Eh? it's a secret~" Ken said mockingly.
"Wait there for a moment, the person who will decide whether you die or not, it's not me." Ken added.
Ken then walked over to Shuri's corpse and squatted beside it.
Seeing this action, Grayfia became curious and chose to pay attention to Ken.
"Humph! Just a mere line of destiny trying to get in my way?" Ken muttered.
That's right, Ken was currently using his divine eye and saw that the red line which was Shuri's line of destiny, was trying to prevent Ken from doing something.
"Go away! You leave me alone!" Ken said in exasperation and pulled forcefully on the line of destiny attached above Shuri's head.
No kidding, Ken pulled it forcefully until it broke, which freed Shuri from her [Destiny] that should have died in this massacre.
"With my permission, return [Resurrection]!" Ken whispered softly.
As the action confused the audience, a dictionary-sized book that only he could see appeared in front of him.
Ken then wrote and reversed the destiny of Shuri who was supposed to die here.
Shuri's soul in the form of a ball of light swooped down on Ken from above.
"Get back into your body, your time doesn't end here." Ken commanded.
As if hearing a majestic voice and an absolute command, the soul ball sank into Shuri's body.
Ken lifted Shuri's head and placed it on his lap while his right hand rubbed Shuri's beautiful face.
Shuri's eyelashes fluttered gently indicating that she was about to wake up.
Ken smiled when he saw this.
Sure enough, Shuri slowly opened her eyes and saw the handsome face of a young man who was bowing his head.
His face was too close!
Too handsome!
'Is this the bastard who will become a villain for the ladies?' Shuri wondered in her heart.
Right after Shuri thought that, memories of her entire life filled her head.
"Urgghh..." Shuri groaned softly as she felt the pain in her head.
After a moment later, Shuri widened her eyes and looked around her.
'That's right! I should have died! How is that possible?!' Shuri reached a conclusion.
Shuri even remembered every detail of things during her life.
And this massacre was no exception.
Shuri panicked, but after seeing Ken who smiled at her gently, Shuri calmed down.
"Did you save me?" Shuri ventured to ask first.
"It was me." Ken confirmed.
"Thank you very much!" Shuri hurriedly said gratefully.
Shuri was sure that even if he continued to live, Shuri felt that he would not be able to repay his debt to this handsome young man.
'Wait a minute! This position.... is too close!' Shuri realized her position leaning into Ken's embrace.
And in her opinion, this position was quite embarrassing.
Furthermore, this handsome young man who was her helper was also a nobody.
In other words, Shuri had no particular relationship with him other than his benefactor.
Shuri struggled to sit up and leaned against the pillar.
Ken then took out Miko's clothes for Shuri.
Because no matter what she looked like, Shuri's clothes were already a mess.
Stabbed and burned, would the clothes still remain intact?
Therefore, Ken made a black barrier for her to change clothes.
Ken then exited the barrier and joined Grayfia who was still shocked.
...
It wasn't long before Shuri came out from inside the barrier when she finished changing.
The five practitioners sent by the Himejima clan were scared to death when they saw Shuri like she was seeing a ghost.
'Isn't that woman already dead?!'
'How did that guy do it?!'
'Is he a God?!'
Questions popped up inside their heads, which made their heads tingle.
Ken turned his head back to look at the practitioner.
"The person who decides whether you will die or not is this woman~" Ken said in a teasing tone.
Hearing his words, the five practitioners became desperate.
Wasn't the outcome obvious?
Their leader even tortured that woman and tried to kill her daughter!
Isn't that woman going to become a madwoman who dares to skin them alive?!
Meanwhile, Shuri who heard Ken's words put on a face of gratitude again.
Her beautiful eyes were full of gratitude as she looked at Ken.
Although there were many doubts and questions she wanted to ask Ken, Shuri decided this was not the right time for it.
With that, Ken embraced Shuri's body and helped him up, which the mature woman could still feel embarrassed about.
'Hey, hey, hey, are you a teenage girl?!' Ken said with wonder in his heart.
But in the end, Ken could only shake his head and brought Shuri to the front of the practitioners.
"Hehe~ do you need my help? do you need a weapon? or are you going to torture her first?" Ken threw questions enthusiastically.
Shuri suddenly seemed to transform into another person, as she picked up the sword on the ground and stabbed the leader.
"Aaarrghhhh!!!"
The scream of someone in pain rang out and echoed.
"This is for that stab in my stomach!" Shuri said cruelly.
"This is the second stab for my wound that you stabbed!"
"This is for your crime of messing up my little family!"
"This is for the two of her men who tried to chase Akeno!"
"This is for the pain in my heart!"
"This is for the damage you caused to the shrine!"
"This is for Akeno's tears!"
"This is for your foot that tried to step on my face!"
"This is for-"
"This is for-"
....
The current Shuri looked like another person who had turned into a sadistic woman.
Despite the fresh, red blood splashing onto her shirt and face, Shuri did not stop.
The sound of flesh piercing after flesh piercing continued to be heard as Shuri similarly pierced them one by one.
Sometimes Shuri would even use her [Purgatory] which was used to purify evil creatures.
The smell of burning charred flesh and miserable screams were evidence of the woman's cruelty.
Ken chuckled and didn't blink when he saw Shuri's brutality.
Ken already knew this, Shuri's little secret was that she was actually someone who had an 'S&M' fetish with her husband, Baraqiel, every night.
Perhaps this, too, was the reason why Akeno had a sadistic nature when she grew up.
"Haha! No mother, no son, they're both the same." Ken laughed and said playfully.
Meanwhile...
Grayfia who saw the whole process from the beginning felt more and more admiration for Ken.
Grayfia also felt that the young man in front of her was looking more and more mysterious.
Not only his strength, even he was able to revive dead people.
If Grayfia was asked about who could revive a dead person, Grayfia would first answer that the person was reincarnated as a demon.
Then secondly Grayfia would answer that only Gods can do that.
The way Grayfia looked at Ken at this time changed completely.
In her eyes was admiration, awe, and love.
Her eyes at first glance only looked stern and gentle, but one could tell that they were giving the gaze of a wife looking at her husband.
The impression for Ken in her heart rose higher and higher again.
If it was already high before, then this time her impression of Ken had reached its peak.
Ken only needed to make a 'small push' to make Grayfia fully his.
Ken smiled even wider after noticing Grayfia's gaze on him.
With that, Ken and Grayfia continued to chat while Shuri was busy torturing the 'criminals' for their crimes.
