Then, after retreating a hundred meters from Tsuchigumo's body, Yae Sakura turned around to look.
"Damn half-demon..."
Tsuchigumo turned to glare at Yae Sakura, but before it could finish speaking, the Crimson Sakura Sword Qi within its body erupted. Its massive form exploded, scattering chunks of flesh across the sky.
Yae Sakura used her Spirit Blade to knock aside the fragments flying toward her and watched the scene unfold...
"This... is even more powerful than I imagined..."
Even Yae Sakura could not help being shocked by the power of her Blade Reversal!
The seventy- or eighty-meter-tall Great Yokai Tsuchigumo had been reduced to head-sized chunks with a single Blade Reversal.
But... after waiting for a while, why was there no first-kill reward?
This was a Great Yokai!
At that moment, Yae Sakura turned to look at the other Great Yokai, Kiyohime!
Just as she was about to move, Tsuchigumo's scattered body fragments suddenly began to tremble.
"Tsuchigumo has the ability to regenerate. Unless its body is completely destroyed, it must be killed dozens of times in succession before it can truly die."
Kiyohime met Yae Sakura's gaze and suddenly offered an explanation.
Kiyohime was also filled with fear toward this half-demon shrine maiden who had appeared out of nowhere. Though she had been suppressing Tsuchigumo in battle, she only had a slight advantage at best.
Tsuchigumo's attacks were not particularly powerful, but it possessed extraordinary regeneration and defensive strength. Killing it was extremely difficult.
Yet... this half-demon shrine maiden had killed Tsuchigumo once with just a few strikes.
"Is that so..."
Resurrection...
What a freak...
It was practically like a yokai possessing the Sacred Jewel. Yokai with the Sacred Jewel not only possessed powerful, berserk strength, but could also revive no matter how many times they were killed—unless the Sacred Jewel was removed from their bodies.
But Tsuchigumo did not have the Sacred Jewel, yet it could still revive...
Sure enough... before long, Tsuchigumo had completely revived, and it looked even more terrifying than before.
"I'll kill you!!"
After reviving, Tsuchigumo glared furiously at Yae Sakura. Ignoring Kiyohime entirely, it charged straight at Yae Sakura with its enormous body.
"If I can kill you once, I can kill you a second time! A third time!"
Having roughly grasped the extent of her own strength, Yae Sakura was no longer afraid of Tsuchigumo.
So...
Flash Step! Sword Skill: Mad Flower Bloom!!
Amid flashing blades and sword shadows, Tsuchigumo was dismembered once again.
Its third resurrection...
