Land of Lightning, western region, Maple City.
Thanks to the Land of Night having conquered this place more than ten years ago and extensively renovating it, as well as building considerable infrastructure, the city's economy recovered rapidly after the war and continued to grow and prosper.
By now, it was one of the major cities in the western region of the Land of Lightning.
However, this city, which had enjoyed more than a decade of peace, once again faced a bitter winter today.
Ice and snow covered most of the city, first paralyzing its entire transportation system.
Then countless ice blades and spears rained down from the sky, precisely striking Maple City's power plants, factories, and other industrial buildings.
Next, countless slashing shockwaves tore through the air, smashing the city's roads and kicking up clouds of dust.
The entire city fell into chaos in an instant. Cries rang out one after another, and before anyone could even figure out what was happening, the ice and snow and the sword energy that ripped through the air stopped.
This was not out of mercy. After destroying the city's important industrial facilities and roads, the two culprits had gone straight to the next city that needed to be hit hard.
Those two culprits were none other than Irori and Murasame, who had used the Heavenly Transfer Technique to descend into the western region of the Land of Lightning.
Among the sisters, the two of them had the greatest destructive power, and the damage they could inflict on the enemy was immediate and effective.
Therefore, apart from Natsuki, who needed to remain at the Heavenly Dao Palace, Irori had brought only Murasame this time, another expert in long-range attacks and large-scale destruction.
She had left Yaya and Komurasaki behind at the Heavenly Dao Palace
