Chapter 667 - Chapter 667 Chapter 566 Why Didnt You Say So Earlier (1)_2

Chapter 667: Chapter 566: Why Didn’t You Say So Earlier? (1)_2 Chapter 667: Chapter 566: Why Didn’t You Say So Earlier? (1)_2 Roger’s Guardian Spirit had devoured a part of the Crow Tengu’s Spiritual Body, and by then, Aian San had already fallen from his former realm. Before he could even get up, a fierce sword light slashed down from the air.

Spurt!

Desperately trying to dodge to the side, Aian San still had an arm severed by the Sword of Destiny.

“I was going to cut it off sooner or later, why did you bother reattaching it in the first place?”

“You… you!” Aian San gasped for air, staring at Roger with hatred-filled eyes.

“Listen to me, I am a disciple of the Ran’ei Divine Master, and many years from now I even have a chance to become the new Divine Master.”

“It’s no big deal if someone like Ishii Shinichi died, but I’m different.”

“If you dare kill…”

“Spurt!”

Aian San’s mouth opened wide, and a large amount of blood gushed out. He tried to lower his head, but found his head immobilized.

A pale Longsword pierced through his mouth and out from the back of his neck.

Blood filled his entire mouth, even seeping from his nostrils, and his tongue had been directly severed. Even if Roger were to pull out the Sword of Destiny at that moment, Aian San likely wouldn’t be able to speak anymore.

“Brave on the outside, but timid on the inside!”

The Sword of Destiny dragged downward, slicing open Aian San’s throat and chest, splitting him into two halves!

“A Divine Master my ass, you think you’re fit for that with such mediocrity?”

Roger let out a cold laugh.

As the life force drained from his body, a blurry apparition began to emerge slowly from Aian San’s body. Following that, a metallic Nekomata sprang out and fiercely pounced on it.

With pitiful cries, Aian San’s Guardian Spirit, the Crow Tengu, was quickly torn apart and devoured!

“The Divine Master won’t let you off, just you wait!”

Aian San cursed with his dying breath.

Roger was about to offer some mockery, but just then, Aian San’s spilled blood began to reverse flow, and a blurry figure emerged from his blood.

“No way?” Roger’s expression changed.

Without hesitation, he swung his sword to slash!

Swish!

The Sword of Destiny cleaved the figure hovering in mid-air in two, but quickly, the severed parts began to merge back together, and then a voice rang out.

“Is it you?!”

“Miura Anjin?!”

Roger’s eyes twitched, but he still nodded stiffly.

“That’s right, it’s me!”

The figure floating in mid-air saw the rising black smoke in the distance and the corpses at his feet, quickly comprehending something.

As he began to fade into insubstantiality, just before completely vanishing, he snorted coldly, “Run for your life, for you only have seconds left to live!”

Roger was about to say something when from the far horizon, a beam of gaze seemed to project towards him, his heart racing, feeling engulfed by an inexplicable crisis.

An idea sprang up in Roger’s mind; the Ran’ei Divine Master’s words just now were definitely not empty bluster.

That guy really was coming!

“Shouldn’t the routine be different?” Roger couldn’t help but exclaim, “Aren’t things supposed to escalate gradually? Since when do the big shots directly enter the fray?”

Even with great confidence in himself, Roger didn’t think he could defeat a Divine Master-level Onmyoji in a head-on battle.

Without further hesitation, he turned and ran as fast as he could, though he still made sure to take Aian San’s weapon with him.

That Crow Feather surely couldn’t compare to his Sword of Destiny, but it would make a fine gift for Higurashi Chika.

After dashing into the shadows beyond the sand dunes, with a thought, Roger immediately returned to the Shadow World, and making sure there was no one in the room in the real world, he reappeared there.

The room was just as he had left it, and Roger was now in Kankawa Snow Mountain’s Betsuin.

Upon leaving, Roger had shifted the Shadow Cottage into the shadows of Kankawa Betsuin, and considering the Sword Master Cold Crow living at the mountain’s peak, Roger refrained from using the Hunter’s Cabin’s abilities.

Previously, in the city, even when faced with that colossal centipede, he had quite a struggle to get rid of it and then left the restricted area to return to the Oasis through a house blended with the city.

He did this to avoid using the power of the Shadow Cottage as much as possible, lest he be noticed by the Sword Master Cold Crow.

He could more or less feel that the Sword Master Cold Crow was hiding something that might be linked to a Shadow World.

However, now that a Divine Master-level enemy was pursuing him, Roger naturally wouldn’t be bothered by such trivial issues anymore.

He used Shadow’s Touch immediately, and in an instant, his body appeared in Kankawa, at a distance unknown from the Oasis.

Roger didn’t believe the Ran’ei Divine Master would travel millions of miles alone to Kankawa just to kill him!

Even though Sword Master Cold Crow seemed to be half-dead, for 20 years the status of the Sword Pavilion hadn’t declined but instead had grown stronger and more solidified, which explained everything.

As for the rest…

Just as Roger was contemplating, Uma’s voice suddenly rose from the depths of his mind.

“Master, something’s wrong with this woman’s body, it’s decaying at an alarming rate!”

“I don’t know what happened, but she seems to be dying quickly!”

Uma’s voice was urgent, lacking her usual flippancy.

“What?”

Roger’s face drastically changed as well, but he quickly realized something.

“It must be the Guardian Spirit!”

The Guardian Spirit was almost tantamount to the lifeblood of an Onmyoji. To maximize the flight speed of the Ice Butterfly, Yuuki Nao had obviously poured all her Spiritual Power into it.

It even included a part of her own life force.

“Damn it!”

Roger gritted his teeth but couldn’t just stand by and watch Yuuki Nao die because of him.

“Alright, I get it, where are you?”

“Go to the Oasis, take her to the Oasis!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Roger activated his Penetration ability, and the scenery before him shifted; he found himself in a room within the Oasis.

The room’s door was wide open; Roger quickly stepped out.

Next to the Cherry Blossom Tree in the yard lay a mass of rotting flesh and blood, its shape and appearance hard to distinguish, but from the position of the fallen body, Roger could deduce that this was likely Ishii Shinichi.

It was unknown what he had gone through before his death, but it must have been very painful.

With a flap of his wings, Roger took to the air, based on the information transmitted by Uma, they were still some distance from the Oasis.

Even with Uma’s control, Yuuki Nao’s body was too weak now; they couldn’t afford to sit and wait for death, who knows when the Ran’ei Divine Master might appear before them?

Truth be told, Roger wasn’t sure if the Ran’ei Divine Master could lock onto his position or track him, but he could only plan for the worst.

The entire Oasis seemed deserted, and it was unclear where the Ishii Family had gone; perhaps they were underground?

Roger didn’t care to investigate further, his figure flashing across the night sky like a streak of light.

Meanwhile, Uma was also carefully moving forward with Yuuki Nao’s body, the instantaneous collapse that had just occurred nearly cost her complete control over the body.

More importantly, the weakness emanating from the body was significantly slowing her progress.

However, it wasn’t long before Uma ran into another problem.

Strange things started emerging from the dark desert.

“This is going to be tough,” Uma frowned.

Just then, the temperature around them dropped suddenly, and a figure descended from the sky.

“Thank heavens!”

She let out a sigh of relief.

Roger, upon landing, vibrated with Spiritual Power; his wings flapping slowly as they peeled away from his body, revealing a hazy human form.

Then the Ice Butterfly merged into Yuuki Nao’s body.

Her pale complexion gradually became rosy, her eyebrows lightly furrowed, as she opened her eyes.

“What happened?”

Roger was about to casually explain and instruct Yuuki Nao to escape from there, but just then, a bird’s cry came from the dark sky.

The next second, a man wearing a Crow mask appeared in front of Roger.

“What’s going on?!”

“Lord Kensumi!” Yuuki Nao bowed in response, “The Ishii Family has colluded with the Ran’ei Shrine and betrayed us; they must have actively disabled the city’s Onmyoji Array!”

Yuuki Nao answered.

“Who did the Ran’ei Shrine send?” Yatagarasu Kensumi asked in a deep voice.

“Aian San!”

“Where is he?”

Yuuki Nao did not answer but glanced at Roger.

“He’s dead.”

“I killed him,” Roger added.

“Well done!”

Yatagarasu Kensumi praised.

“Uh…”

“There’s something I need to add,” Roger suddenly said.

“After I killed Aian San, someone who claimed to be the Ran’ei Divine Master appeared.”

“He said he was coming to kill me.”

Yatagarasu Kensumi was silent for several seconds, but soon he became furious:

“A Divine Master wants to kill you?”

“Why didn’t you say so earlier?!”

“What are you waiting for? Run now!”
