Chapter 368

"And you, Dongtang."

Kurogane Gen looked at Touka beside Luo Mio.

Touka smiled lightly and shook his head to indicate that he was unharmed.

"Then, sir, come here..."

"Of course, we've come to see our hero from the Far East who repelled the enemy."

After saying that, Kurogane Gen glanced at Luo Mio, then turned his head to look at the distant sky.

"And another group of heroes will greet us."

As Kurogane Gen, everyone looked in the direction he was looking.

Before everyone's eyes, an airplane appeared in the distant sky.

At this moment, Luo Mio walked out and stood beside Touka and Shinguji Kuroko, looking at the planes in the sky and speaking softly to them.

"Sister, Aunt Kuro, don't stop me in a moment."

"Huh?"

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, they looked at Luo Mio with puzzled expressions.

Luo Mio continued speaking.

"Oh, and remember to stop Stella and Shizuku for me."

After he finished speaking, the plane was already overhead.

Three figures jumped off the plane, one of whom was as small as a child.

Upon seeing that figure, Luo Mio couldn't help but smile, her eyes blazing with intense fighting spirit.

Seeing Luo Mio's expression, Shinguji Kuroko seemed to have guessed something and quickly spoke up.

"Miohua, you wouldn't...?"

But before Shinguji Kuroko could finish speaking, Luo Mio's figure shot out like a bullet, and the loud sonic boom made Shinguji Naru cover her ears.

Luo Mio's figure moved like lightning, arriving in front of the small figure in the blink of an eye.

Luo Mio Miao immediately drew the Raven Feather Blade from the Void Fissures beside her and swung it fiercely at the small figure.

"Clang—!"

In an instant, the child-like figure also sensed Luo Mio's slash filled with intense fighting spirit.

Then, with a flick of his right hand, a similar top-quality Crow Feather Katana appeared in the child's hand.

He reacted immediately to Luo Mio's slash, raising his Crow Feather Katana to block Luo Mio's attack.

But...

He frowned slightly, feeling a tremendous force instantly pass through the blade and into his hand.

Luo Mio then used this slash to instantly send the figure flying into the distant battlefield ruins.

"Bang—!"

The dust was immediately scattered by the impact.

Upon seeing this, Luo Mio stepped on the Space Barrier and suddenly pushed off.

He charged forward in an instant and swung his sword again.

"Clang—!"

The dust slowly settled.

Luo Mio looked at the figure in front of her with her azure eyes and slowly spoke.

"What's wrong? Ikki, your strength has dropped quite a bit."

As Luo Mio spoke, the childlike figure slightly raised its head.

A tender and adorable child's face was revealed.

It was Kurogane Ikki as a child.

Ikki slightly strained smile.

"Don't you feel ashamed for bullying children, Miohua?"

Even though Ikki is usually very gentle and kind, he was now bickering with Luo Mio without any restraint.

"..."

The two looked at each other and then smiled.

Chapter 10: Ikki and His Group Return

Before returning to the Far East, Stella, with her fiery red hair, looked at the white clouds outside the window and spoke with concern.

"Hopefully I can make it in time..."

A petite girl with slightly thin frame and silver hair and green eyes, Shizuku Kurogane Shizuku, looked at Stella and spoke up.

"Don't worry, according to the news, the chairman has fully awakened and become a demon, and even Sister Touka has become a demon, successfully defeating 'Great Flame' Harima Tendou in the Kyushu region."

"They have already gone to the Tokyo Bay defense line to support the chairman."

Upon hearing Shizuku's words, the little child next to Stella also showed a surprised expression.

Stella also said in surprise.

"Touka- senpai has actually awakened and stepped into the Demon Realm..."

"Touka awakens as a demon, I don't find it surprising at all."

The little child next to Stella chuckled as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Stella asked in confusion.

"What do you mean, Ikki?"

That's right, the child in front of you, who is only about ten years old, is none other than the "Sword God" Kurogane Ikki, who killed the traitorous "Black Knight" in the Famillion Campaign and delivered the most important blow in the battle against the "Puppet King"!

In the battle of "Puppet King", Ikki can be said to have truly died.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Shizuku arrived at Ikki's side and used her unique Blade Dance Technique. This Blade Dance Technique was created solely to prevent anyone, or even a god, from taking away her most beloved elder brother from her.

The ultimate Blade Dance Technique that can change the fate of death—"Aqua World"!

Using this technique, Shizuku pulled Ikki, who had already died, back from the underworld.

However, because Ikki's body was damaged too severely, Shizuku used her own flesh cells to graft onto Ikki's body to repair Ikki's body.

However, in order to most effectively assist in the body's repair, Shizuku's current condition cannot be said to be very good.

Because she used her own body cells, Shizuku is currently in a state of "Aqua Cycle" remaining in Ikki's body, helping Ikki to quickly return to his original appearance.

However, if Shizuku were to separate from Ikki's body, Ikki would be unable to maintain his original physique and would revert to the size of a ten-year-old child.

Of course... this part may also be due to Shizuku's own selfish motives.

Therefore, Ikki's body is currently in a very special condition.

However, due to this special circumstance, Ikki can now be said to possess a portion of Shizuku's water-attribute magic.

Ikki then explained to Stella.

"Wakaba Home is the home where Touka and Luo Mio have many beautiful memories, and Wakaba Home happens to be located in the Kyushu region, so Touka will absolutely not allow anything to destroy the home she cherishes."

After hearing Ikki's explanation, Stella also showed a thoughtful expression.

At that moment, the Famillion soldiers in the cockpit called out to Stella.

"Your Princess!"

The three people who heard the sound rushed over immediately.

"What's wrong?"

The driver was pointing ahead.

Everyone looked in the direction the driver pointed.

"!"

Ikki, Stella, Shizuku also looked over with surprise.

In their field of vision, there was a very obvious sword -Void Slash in the distant sky.

The space itself was as empty as an abyss, filled with an aura of annihilation.

Looking at this space, Ikki Stella couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.

Stella's feelings were particularly profound.

Looking at the sword Void Slash, she couldn't help but think of Ikki's final blow in the final of the "Seven Stars Sword Dance Festival".

"The Ultimate Sword: Shadow Chaser"!

Born from the sword after Ikki entered the Demon Realm, believing in the blade, and surpassing the limits, he achieved a strike with divine speed that even his own shadow could not catch up with!

The ultimate form of the concept of "slash"!

The absolute causal control of the concept of "slash" means that once this strike is made, there is no possibility of failure; it is a truly fatal strike!

The slash space that now appears before Stella is just like Ikki's "Chase Shadow," a move that also possesses the concept of "slash."

However, unlike Ikki's "Pursuit of Shadows," it is cast on a target in front of him.

The "slash" in front of us is aimed at the space in front of us.

Even Ikki spoke with a solemn expression.

"The swordsman who unleashed this strike is certainly no less capable than me or Miss Edelweiss."

Stella showed a hint of surprise upon hearing Ikki's assessment.

As Ikki looked at the empty space, he narrowed his eyes slightly and continued speaking.

"Moreover, the other party should be a Blazer can manipulate space."

Shizuku, who was standing to the side, was also looking at her Student Handbook and talking to Ikki Stella.

"It is said that a newly emerged demon is currently defending the Tokyo Bay defense line against enemy attacks!"

And just then...

The instant Shizuku finished speaking, a glimmer of light appeared at the center of the desolate, sword-marked space.

Then a scorching white light, enough to dispel the darkness, suddenly shone forth.

Such intense white light caused Ikki, Stella, and Shizuku to close their eyes.

When they opened their eyes again, the space marked with sword marks had disappeared, and Stella couldn't help but say something.

"But is this really a defense... or is it annihilation?"

Meanwhile, Ikki was recalling the enormous Stone Peak Sword that had just fallen from the sky.

Although they were far apart, he could feel the unparalleled overwhelming sense of oppression.

"Then it seems that the huge Stone Sword just now was brought down by the demon who used this move."

Driven by this curiosity, Ikki, Stella, Shizuku boarded a plane and finally saw the Tokyo Bay defense line so close at hand.

When I saw that a section of the ruins on the front line was filled with people.

One of the figures looked very familiar to the three of them.

It was none other than Ikki, the father of Shizuku, and Stella's father- Kurogane Gen!

In front of him were Shinguji Kuroko, Toudo Touka, and a few others.

Without much thought, the three of them jumped off the plane.

But they didn't see... Luo Mio, who was hidden from view due to her height, standing next to Shinguji Takumi...

As soon as they jumped off the plane, Ikki tensed up instantly, his body instinctively sending him a danger signal.

Suddenly, an Ikki moving at an extremely fast speed appeared in front of him, even though Ikki couldn't see it clearly at first.
