(I was sent for more tests today... more blood draws and tubes... I only had time to update one chapter. Sorry, everyone...)
Meanwhile, the black-clad samurai who had been lying in ambush on the other side, ready to surround them,
soon caught up,
and struck without hesitation.
Whoosh!
The Samurai Sword in his hand swept through the air, thrusting swiftly toward Princess Kaguya's back.
But then,
the black-clad leader discovered that he could not drive his blade any farther.
It was as though a transparent barrier had formed around Princess Kaguya.
At the same time, a repulsive force surged from the barrier.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
The black-clad leader was knocked back two or three steps.
Something really is wrong here.
Shock surged through the black-clad leader's heart.
She had not even touched him, yet she could repel him from a distance.
Such unfathomable supernatural power was enough to fill anyone with terror.
What he did not know, however,
was that Yuya was inwardly crying out in alarm.
Princess Kaguya's dōjutsu power had visibly weakened.
Earlier, she had only needed a casual flick of her sleeve
to send someone flying.
Now, though, she could only knock him back a few steps.
It showed just how quickly Princess Kaguya's strength was declining. She was nothing like she had been before.
Could it be because she gave me life energy?
Yuya had a few suspicions.
He could feel a power inside him
constantly nourishing his body,
replenishing his energy.
The reason Princess Kaguya's strength was falling so quickly,
and the reason he had been able to wake up,
probably had something to do with this energy.
At the same time,
two samurai, one on either side, held Tachi, their silver blades gleaming brilliantly in the air.
They swung their swords at Princess Kaguya.
