Chapter 179

[In the Elysian Realm, before Elysia's death, what did Sakura take from Vill-V?]

[A: Frozen Naraka.]

[B: Seven Thunders of Retribution.]

[C: Anti-Kevin Armament.]

[D: Alchemy Potions.]

Sakura: "So... is it my turn now?"

Sighing, Sakura knew that her Memory Body might develop some ideas while she was in the Elysian Realm.

When she received news of Elysia's death, she also guessed that the Memory Body's actions would make her a suspect.

I just didn't expect it to come so quickly.

Chapter 291 The Stain on Sakura

Elysia: "Sakura, why would you think that? How could we possibly suspect you?"

She swore that she had never doubted Sakura from the very beginning; Elysia trusted her lovely and reliable companion to the fullest extent.

Sakura: "Elysia, I know what you mean, but not everyone in Flame-Chasers is willing to trust me."

Sakura touched her scabbard; barring any unforeseen circumstances, she wouldn't be able to clear her name of this suspicion anytime soon.

As someone who has slain traitors and dealt with traitors within the Fire Moth, this [blade] is controlled by the Fire Moth's higher-ups.

Sakura was more experienced than any of the other Thirteen Flame-Chasers in slaying her colleagues.

And this has become the biggest stain on her record.

Mobius: "Oh, you're quite self-aware. For the sake of safety, shouldn't a delicate scientist like me keep my distance from you?"

Sakura: "Please go ahead, Mobius."

Chakravartin: "Shut up, Mobius! Sakura isn't a traitor! It's you who's been sneaking around doing shady things behind people's backs!"

Mobius: "Heh, how funny. I wonder who had this [special] idea when they entered Elysian Realm."

Chakravartin: "Mobius, you want to do it again?!"

Mobius: "How terrifying, is this a plan to kill me to silence me? Now that I've revealed the truth, you're no longer going to hide it?"

Sakura: "Sigh."

Sakura sighed again, genuinely worried about the relationships among her colleagues.

They started by discussing her past transgressions, so why are Mobius and Chakravartin arguing again?

Although the two of them did indeed have ulterior motives towards the Elysian Realm, Sakura had no right to say anything about Mobius, because she herself was the same.

Durandal: "Sigh, I'm suddenly curious, how exactly did the Memory Body of the Flame-Chasers coexist peacefully for Fifty Thousand Years?"

Theresa: "I always feel like they'll start fighting for some random, inexplicable reason."

The academy headmaster believes the main reason is probably because the Previous Era Elysian Realm is large enough.

Otherwise, given the tendency of Flame-Chasers to start fights whenever they meet and to resort to violence whenever they talk about the past, the Previous Era Elysian Realm would inevitably have many more holes in it over the course of Fifty Thousand Years.

It's not impossible for these people, in their frenzy, to demolish Previous Era Elysian Realm.

Could the Klein doll's Fifty Thousand Years of work have been spent cleaning up their messes?

Elysia: "In short, as a loving family, how can we doubt Sakura when we need to demonstrate the unity that Flame-Chasers possess?"

Mobius: "Elysia, you don't actually think Sakura went to Vill-V's workshop just to ask her for a potion to help her recover, do you?"

Elysia: "Uh... why not?"

Okay, that explanation is a bit far-fetched; that's something only Pardofelis would do.

As everyone knows, the potions of the Occultist are not to be drunk.

Elysia: "On the bright side, perhaps the Frozen Naraka needs repairs, or maybe Sakura wants to play around with Anti-Kevin Armament?"

Sakura: "Elysia, there's no need to explain for me. Everyone knows that what I took from Vill-V could only be one thing. Choose B, the Seven Thunders of Retribution."

[Correct answer.]

The Third Divine Key, the Seven Thunders of Retribution, replicates the powers of the Herrscher of Thunder and is a weapon with immense destructive power.

However, for Sakura, it has a different meaning.

A sharp blade used to kill traitors and deal with betrayers.

This weapon had been with Sakura for a long time, and naturally, it had fulfilled its mission many times, beheading traitors.

However, in the Previous Era Elysian Realm, apart from the successors who came to visit, there were thirteen Flame-Chasers left.

Seven Thunders of Retribution, the blade used to slay traitors, wouldn't be swung at Raiden Mei, Sakura's motive for seeking Vill-V's help to repair it becomes very intriguing.

Mobius: "Oh, the Third Divine Key, it really is a dangerous weapon, don't you think?"

Chakravartin: "Shut up, Yingcai is not a traitor!"

Mobius: "Really? I never said that, Chakravartin. Are you emphasizing this because you doubt Sakura?"

Chakravartin: "Mobius!!!"

The scorching atmosphere was ignited once again, flames raged in the Death Space, intensely hot and sweltering. In the garden built by Elysia, several of the blooming flowers withered.

Fortunately, Chakravartin did not make a move at this time.

Otherwise, if he were to cause such a commotion, the already murky water would become even more unpredictable.

Elysia: "Don't be angry, Chakravartin. My flowers have all withered. Too much heat can damage a girl's skin."

Pardofelis: "I totally agree! Brother Jie, calm down! It's too hot, my tail's about to catch fire!"

Chakravartin: "Hmph."

Sakura: "The innocent are innocent, I don't need to explain anything, Mobius."

There was no way around it; Sakura knew that the existence of the Seven Thunders of Retribution was an obvious point of suspicion, almost enough to prove that she was preparing to turn her blade on her colleague.

At least for now, Sakura can't find a way to remove this stain.

[Congratulations to Sakura for winning the reward: Concept Card - Seven Thunders of Retribution.]

[Description: Concept Card that replicates the true power of the Seven Thunders of Retribution. Used to summon the Seven Thunders of Retribution. Duration: one day.]

Raven: "So, it's the Seven Thunders of Retribution, a one-time use item?"

Kiana: "Raven, you need to understand one thing: a weapon can have completely different effects depending on who wields it."

Raven: "I don't think I need you to remind me of this at all."

It must be admitted that Sakura possesses a power similar to freezing time. Her unreasonable abilities, combined with the characteristics of the Seven Thunders of Retribution, make her truly difficult to defend against.

In her hands, the Third Divine Key, the Seven Thunders of Retribution, seems to be turning into a sniper rifle for sneak attacks.

Sakura: "... Actually, I don't really like this weapon right now."

The sword used to kill colleagues and to eliminate traitors for the higher-ups of the Fire Moth carries too much of Sakura's unpleasant past.

Becoming someone else's weapon, slaying traitors who aren't necessarily Villain, is hardly a glamorous experience.

If she could, Sakura hoped she would never have to pick up the Seven Thunders of Retribution again.

Elysia: "If you don't like it, then don't want it, Sakura. Have you forgotten that we're now high-ranking members of the Fire Moth?"

Sakura, already a high-ranking Fire Moth, naturally wouldn't become someone else's weapon, nor would she have the chance to draw the Seven Thunders of Retribution as an assassin.

After all, the workload of Fire Moth is considerable.

Sakura: "... Actually, I think our higher-ups are working too hard. I wasn't this tired when I was an assassin in the Poison Cocoon."

Elysia: "Uh, is this what they call 'the more capable, the more work'?"

Chapter 292 Pardo, Business is Here

While still in the Poison Cocoon, all Sakura needed to do was wait for and execute orders, even though every mission involved fighting against powerful opponents and surviving amidst the clash of swords.

To be honest, Sakura felt that life back then wasn't as tough as it is now.

Asking someone accustomed to the battlefield to handle paperwork with hands only capable of wielding a knife is truly unfair.

Sakura: "Pardo, I remember you still kept a Life Coin, right?"

Pardofelis: "Of course, Sister Sakura wants to trade? That's possible, but... Sister Sakura, you know we're only in small-scale business."

Sakura: "Understood. I'll make up the difference with silver coins. If that's not enough, I can use [Frozen Naraka] as collateral."

The value of a Life Coin far exceeds that of Concept Card for the Seven Thunders of Retribution. Sakura understands this, and Pardo, as the shop owner, understands it even more.

It doesn't matter.

Pardo hung the Life Coin on her shop, intending to sell them. Although the Flame-Chasers have all gathered, few people actually buy anything from her shop.

Pardofelis couldn't figure out where things had gone wrong.

Now that Sakura is willing to patronize the store, we can't let this hard-won sale fall through.

Anyway, it's all about earning silver coins, so it's not shameful.

Moreover, Sakura was willing to use the Frozen Naraka as collateral.

Pardofelis: "Hey, look at what Sister Sakura said. Do Pardo I'd charge you a high price? We trust Sister Sakura's character. Just write me an IOU."

Cherry. "..."

Shaking her head, Sakura glanced at Pardo's eyes; how could she not see the predatory look in her eyes?

A bunch of silver coins that made Pardofelis' eyes hurt from all the glitter, a Frozen Naraka, and a Seven Thunders of Retribution in Concept Card form.

Pardofelis hung them all on the shop wall, seemingly already seeing the clattering silver coins beckoning to her.

Sakura: "I have already handed over the Seven Thunders of Retribution, and even the Frozen Naraka has left my hands. I wonder if this sincerity is enough?"

Su: "Sakura, you really didn't have to do this."

Although this is Death Space, the Flame-Chasers can still fight, and not everyone has become indifferent to life and death.

For example, a snake that's always trying to cause trouble.

Sakura Seven Thunders of Retribution of Purification and even handed over the Frozen Naraka to Pardo, probably to give the others peace of mind.

Sakura: "No, I know that more than one of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers has a grudge against me, and I do not deny the evidence that I once murdered a colleague."

Sakura: "What I want to say is that right now I just want to be an ordinary older sister. If you don't trust the executioner wielding the Seven Thunders of Retribution, I'm even willing to give up the Frozen Naraka."

Elysia: "... Don't take it so seriously, Sakura. Everyone believes in you and trusts you."

That's what they say, but after Sakura gave up her weapon, Elysia could clearly feel that the eerie atmosphere that had suddenly appeared in the Death Space since she obtained the Seven Thunders of Retribution had eased considerably.

No one wants someone who once killed a colleague to pick up a knife again next to them.

Moreover, this was especially true given that they knew Elysia might have been killed by one of them using some unknown method.

In the scene, Sakura stands uneasily in the square, her heavy breathing reflecting her anxious state of mind.

This situation is becoming increasingly common.

Sakura looked at her waist, where a rarely seen scabbard lay horizontally.

That blade, bound by Precepts, does not speak when it declares how profound the impact of memory on a person is.

"However, this deficiency ends here. It's time to let it see the light of day again, Vill-V."

The agreed time was approaching, and Sakura figured it was time for her to go find Vill-V.

Passing through the plaza and gardens of the Elysian Realm, Sakura followed the scent of Vill-V and arrived at a workshop. The spacious and luxurious interior struck her as somewhat unbelievable.

"They actually built another workshop in such a short time? But at this scale, it seems completely unnecessary."

"Oh, you seem surprised. It's still a long way from being completed."

Vill-V put her hands on her hips and said proudly.

From the moment she was pulled into the Elysian Realm, she began building her workshop here, and after some time, it was almost half completed.
