I Refuse to Be a Valkyrie!

"Yokai... who harm humans naturally deserve punishment." Kikyo declared in a calm, clear voice, her gaze sharpening in an instant.

Kikyo drew her longbow, nocked an arrow, and aimed at a massive Minotaur Yokai...

The arrow carried a surge of white spiritual power, instantly purifying the Minotaur, along with several nearby yokai.

"Such powerful spiritual energy..."

Yae Sakura was stunned by Kikyo's spiritual power...

But thinking about it, it made sense. From birth, Kikyo had possessed immense spiritual power, walking a bloody path like an Asura, living an unchanging life of slaying yokai and protecting the villagers.

Her strength was naturally formidable.

Still...

Yae Sakura was ready to steal the kills!

With so many yokai here, what a waste it would be if Kikyo killed them all!

Watching the yokai fleeing toward her direction, Yae Sakura stepped back half a pace, crouched slightly... and gripped the hilt of her spirit blade with both hands.

As the yokai drew close!

"Draw Slash!!"

The most basic and classic technique of Japan's swordsmanship—a massive pink sword aura swept through...

The fleeing yokai never expected someone to attack them from the front. Before they could react... dozens of yokai were instantly cut down by the sword aura.

They died without even knowing how.

[First kill of an Intermediate Yokai, reward: Crystal x5]

[Killed 32 yokai with one slash, reward: Crystal x3]

So there were rewards after all...

It seemed the main reward was for the first kill. But... what about the first kill reward for Basic Yokai?

Eaten?

Also... killing 32 yokai with one slash gave 3 Crystals. Would killing 100 with one slash give 10 Crystals?

Yae Sakura still didn't fully understand.

But knowing that killing yokai was enough for now.

Just then...
