It probably would not be long before this Wood Dragon fully recovered. Of course... that was only if no one disturbed it.
But would Akame and Kurotama let it off?
Obviously not!
Just as the Wood Dragon slowly healed itself, Kurotama swiftly landed on its neck.
Her body, energy, and spirit all gathered into the katana in her hand. At that moment, Kurotama seemed to have entrusted everything she had, even her emotions, to this strike!
"Slash!!"
A strike... carrying every bit of its wielder's strength, slashed toward the Wood Dragon's neck.
Ultimate Technique: Amaterasu!
The strike burst forth with all her strength, its sword aura blazing like a rainbow, and directly severed the Wood Dragon's head.
"Success!"
Seeing that she had cut off the Wood Dragon's head with a single strike, Kurotama could not help but relax. Then, the next moment... she collapsed to the ground.
After that strike, Kurotama felt as though all the energy in her body had been drained away. She did not have even a trace of strength left and was incomparably weak. Right now, she was practically at anyone's mercy.
This was one of the consequences of using an ultimate technique.
Even the simplest ultimate technique was not something she could easily master at her current level.
"Kurotama!"
Seeing Kurotama fall, Akame hurried over... and supported her younger sister. Looking at her terribly weak younger sister in her arms, Akame's eyes were full of worry.
"Don't worry, sister. I'm fine. I just don't have any strength left. I'll recover soon."
Looking at the sister holding her, Kurotama felt very safe.
The reason she had dared to use that move in this dangerous forest sea was precisely because she trusted that, with her sister there, nothing would happen to her. She could act without hesitation.
