章節 1297: Chapter 1297 Escape?

Ichibei made a shocked expression when he saw Kisuke transform once again and hurriedly put both of his hands in front of him.

The next instant, an image of yin-yang appeared, covering his body, "Ura Bakudou! The Great Way!"

It was another unknown Kidou that Ichibei pulled out. Nevertheless, Kisuke couldn't care less. His only goal is to cut him down. While pulling Benihime, he arrived in front of Ichibei. Kisuke raised his blade and gritted his teeth.

He didn't want to do anything fanciful, just a simple single downward slash with all of his remaining strength.

Ichibei could see Kisuke's transformed body creaking and cracking from the pressure alone.

The yin-yang barrier in front of him shined brightly to an almost blinding degree, however, Kisuke ignored this and moved forward, bringing forth his, hopefully, last strike.

His darkened blade instantly made contact with the barrier and Kisuke immediately figured out what exactly it did as little pieces of body were being blown away with the force of his sword being reflected back to him. Still, he pushed forward. Thanks to the simplicity of his strike, even most of the force being reflected back is being cut and deflected away from him.

A quarter of a second after the strike connected, a small crack appeared on the barrier. A fifth of a second later, Kisuke's blade went through the crack. Then an eighth of a second more, Kisuke's strike went through the barrier, along with its owner, bisecting them into two equal parts.

The yin-yang barrier bursts and Ichibei's body started drifting away from each other.

But instead of despair, both of Ichibei's half faces twisted into gruesome smiles, "!?"

Kisuke hurriedly retreated, further pushing his body to its limits. However, he couldn't get away.

Ichibei's bisected body liquified and turned into a pool of black ink before it shot out, not towards Kisuke, but to his beloved blade, merging with it.

Kisuke tried swinging his blade in an attempt to flush away the ink but the blade absorbed it like a dry sponge. The next instant, the ink was gone and only Ichibei's resounding voice was left behind, [Until we meet again, Urahara Kisuke.]

That cold message almost sent Kisuke into a downward spiral but he managed to keep himself calm and closed his eyes. While Ichibei seems to be on the verge of escaping, he still trusts Benihime.

Within his inner world, the already dark surroundings became even darker because the blood-filled world was instead filled with ink, and even the majestic red castle was painted jet-black. He looked around but aside from Ichibei's lingering aura, he couldn't find the man himself.

Thankfully, Benihime was present this time and standing not far from him. Her usual red kimono was dyed black but Kisuke was confident that she was still the Benihime he knew, "So... What's next?"

Benihime was facing away from him so he doesn't know what sort of expression she's making right now. She looked up and Kisuke also followed her gaze towards the tip of the castle. There he saw a very thin black string, "To chase after him." Benihime replied.

Kisuke turned his sights towards her again. He started walking forward until they were standing side by side and he could see her side profile. It was when he saw the nasty grin she was making that Kisuke finally felt relieved and sighed, "...What did you do?"

"I opened a path and he happily jumped into it." Benihime then turned to Kisuke, "Your frustrated face must have been very appealing that he didn't even doubt it."

Kisuke's eyes widened and he finally understood why Benihime was unresponsive all this time, "So you used me as bait."

"As the saying goes, deceive your friends before deceiving your enemy." Benihime began walking towards the castle, creating small waves on the ink beneath her legs, "You understand why I wanted him to leave, yes?"

"Because there's no way to cleanly and surely finish him off when he's literally surrounded by his body parts. If we can isolate him somewhere, it'll be a lot easier to erase his consciousness.", Kisuke replied before pausing for a bit and asking, "But where did you lead him?"

Benihime stopped walking and answered, "To your dear 'Master'."

Kisuke was stunned. He wanted to say something but he couldn't find the right words and could only scratch his head in bitterness and exhale out an exasperated sigh, "I'm dragging her to my problems again? Haahhh... To follow that guy, you'd have to leave too, right?"

"Yes."

"Then please give her my regards... And help her out with whatever she needs." Kisuke started releasing the fetter that was connecting him to Benihime.

"Leave it to me... And I'll be back." The moment she finished her words, Benihime disappeared as if she wasn't there in the first place. The next moment, the very thin string on top of the castle also snapped and soon the whole innerworld containing black sea and black castle disappeared like a mirage and was replaced by a desolated and lifeless forest.

Beside Kisuke, Tiamat was standing while looking up, "You two are truly cut from the same cloth."

"I'll take that as a compliment this time." Kisuke smiled before turning around, "Let's go and finish things up on this side."

Before Kisuke could leave, Tiamat asked him, "Are you confident that she'll be able to do it?"

"Of course. After all, this ability to ink things is not really compatible with her."

"Hmmm? What do you mean?"

On a relatively small planet that's almost covered with lush forests of towering trees with ivory white trunks and branches and golden leaves, a young lady with white hair and green eyes is standing in front of people with similar features as hers.

They are obviously family members but a happy familial atmosphere couldn't be found as the young lady was wearing cuffs while receiving strict stares and sometimes scorn from most of the people around her.

"Do you understand your crimes now?" The man who looks a few decades older than the young woman raised his voice, echoing through the large chamber they are in.

But instead of cowering, the young lady stood straight and even glared at the middle-aged man, "Stop wasting everyone's time. You already decided what punishment I would have behind closed doors. What's the point of making a show out of this obviously biased trial? Ahhh... That's right, isn't it? You just want to make an example out of me because I can't give you the answers that you want. Must be nice to have..." The young lady's statement, however, couldn't be finished as she was forced to shut up.

"Stralit Luxeux." The woman on the highest seat who looks like the young lady but aged up, spoke, "This council is giving you one last chance. Explain why you thwarted the operation on Draconic Deus and where your [Successor] is?"

28th00: Is there a single time she’s not in trouble? Welp, an interesting interruption is about to get thrown at them in the shape of a soul-nuke I guess.

Goyya: To be fair, she only gets screentime whenever she’s in trouble. The only reason why she’s in this is because she helped out in Draconic Deus.

章節 1298: Chapter 1298 Unknown Place

After being forcefully shut up, Stralit could only listen to the Matriarch of the Luxeux Clan, her own mother, "This council is giving you one last chance. Explain why you thwarted the operation on Draconic Deus and where your [Successor] is?"

The invisible force that's keeping Stralit's mouth loosened but she didn't answer immediately and collected her thoughts. Regarding her [Successor] John Smith, there's a clan law that dictates all main members of the clan introduce their [Successors] upon conferment and have them take a rite of passage.

Regardless of the result of this rite of passage, the honor of being a [Successor] could never be taken away, however, the [Successor's] potential will dictate the [Predecessor's] future position and authority.

'This clan law isn't normally enforced and there's a tacit understanding that the [Successor] can have some time to prepare for the rite of passage before the official introduction for better chances, yet these geezers couldn't wait to meet him.' Stralit thought to himself. Well, it's not like she couldn't understand their feelings because his last appearance sent many of the prestigious clans of Etouldes a wave of panic for his presumably "Anti-Spirit" weapon.

If by chance the Evies get hold of this weapon and manage to replicate it, it'll immediately tip the balance of war against them.

'But thanks to that sudden panic, a lot of nasty things are being aired out in an attempt to gather more information about it.' Stralit recalled various scandals plastered on the headlines before she was forced to return to their home planet.

And it was also thanks to these 'nasty things' that Stralit was able to come in contact with certain individuals and stopped a certain operation that they suspected to be compromised by Evies and would lift the barrier surrounding the Draconic Deus, 'Still, why is my "crime" of interfering with the operation is on the same level as me not introducing my [Successor]?'

Stralit looked around to carefully observe each and every member of the council before thinking, 'There's so much about the Draconic Deus that's being hidden that it's probably only the Matriarch who has a good view of things over there. If they know about those three, they won't be asking about my [Successor]. Not to mention, the weapons that are being developed there could warrant a much greater response.'

It's only now that Stralit realizes how restricted the flow of information is from Draconic Deus, 'No wonder Alicia couldn't give any attention to what's happening in the backlines.'

Stralit sighed. Either way, she didn't have any sort of defense for this trial. First is that she didn't have any proof of Evies' involvement in the operation and second is that even she doesn't know where her [Successor] is, much less present him to the council. She already fully expected to be thrown in prison until some things are changed, '...Maybe that will finally fish out the goddamn traitor who sent Ajax Aurelius to me.'

"Your silence won't save you." The middle-aged man with long white hair and a beard standing in front of her interrupted her thoughts. This man is her uncle and for some reason, he's giving her a stare full of hate, 'No... I know exactly the reason. Grenlan and I were just way too much better than his own son and daughter. I really pity those kids.'

The matriarch sitting on the highest seat wanted to sigh but couldn't show any expression because any of that would be seen as favoritism. She was her own daughter but she absolutely had no idea what's on her mind, 'I know that I'm a failure of a mother, but what exactly is she trying to achieve here? Strangely enough, Grenlan is not trying to involve himself in this mess. Are they fighting?'

She also asked her trusted aide to investigate Stralit's previous actions but the only strange thing she found was a coincidental meeting with the young lady of Yarwood. Of course, she's not discounting the fact that Stralit may have been able to hide her tracks, but even then, it doesn't really explain anything aside from her knowing more information than what's available.

'There's also the instance of Aurelius targeting her. I destroyed that clan but I doubt that's the end of it.' Thanks to that, the Luxeux Clan received a sanction from the [Holy Family] and she lost a substantial amount of authority within the council.

The matriarch stared at Stralit for a few more seconds before thinking of handing down the punishment, 'It seems that she's already prepared for this. How long should I give her so that these old men won't argue back?'

But while thinking about this, the matriarch first noticed it and hurriedly stood up with a glare.

A second later, the other members of the Luxeux noticed it too, and also got off their seats.

Stralit's uncle jumped back and shouted, "Stralit Luxeux, what are you trying to do!?"

The person in question, Stralit, was also shocked at their sudden actions until she realized that she was releasing a tremendous amount of Spiritual Power and her shadow wiggling, 'What? How? I'm on cuffs.'

And while looking down on the cuffs that seals the power of a Luxeux, black liquid started dropping on it, "Huh?" She muttered loudly and touched her own face, realizing she was now crying with black tears and her nose was bleeding with the same black substance, "W-wha-"

Stralit could even finish what she was saying when an indescribable pain suddenly assaulted her senses and made her almost lose consciousness. It was so bad that her knees immediately buckled and she couldn't scream for help. She could only keep her head down and vomit a concerning amount of black liquid which started to flood the floor she was standing on.

No one in the room knew what was going on but the matriarch immediately issued a lockdown command, thinking that someone was remotely attacking her daughter.

"Is... Is this poison?" One of the councilmen asked while trying to approach to inspect Stralit's condition.

"It's not! And don't approach!" The matriarch hurriedly yelled back.

A few seconds later, the pool of black substance began moving away from Stralit and from it, a man started emerging from it.

At the same time, a strange heavy pressure that directly assaulted the soul made everyone freeze and some weaker people instantly lost their consciousness.

'...What is he? A being of pure Spiritual matter?' The matriarch asked herself.
