Chapter 366 - 365: A Good Opportunity!
[Completely... no match. Why is this happening?]
As the battle progressed, the Raiden Shogun found that she was no match for Raiden Ei at all. No matter how she fought, she couldn’t gain even a slight advantage.
What is going on with this person? She only remembered her fighting Durandal’s clone for a while in the Plane of Euthymia. Did that little bit of fighting make her improve this much?
Fortunately, the Raiden Shogun could use the method of infinite recovery to restore herself to full strength countless times, which allowed her to fight Raiden Ei in the most perfect state.
"This battle is truly nostalgic. It feels like returning to when the law of eternity was first established. Your current consciousness is comparable to that time."
"In countless battles, you never lost once, nor did you hesitate in the slightest. Your will never wavered from beginning to end. You have shown me your resolve."
What the Raiden Shogun said sounded quite impressive, but Durandal, who was observing, caught a key point in those words: the fact that "the Raiden Shogun hadn’t won a single match."
She hadn’t won a single match, yet she could speak with such high emotional intelligence. Is this the Raiden Shogun? At least in terms of words, she was much more formidable than Raiden Ei.
Speaking of which, how long had this battle been going on? It seemed like over a hundred years already. To be able to fight for such a long time, truly worthy of a warrior. She was starting to get a bit bored.
If it weren’t for her remembering her duty as a witness, and if the flow of time in this place wasn’t different from the outside, she would have wanted to leave and return to the outside.
Their battle should be nearing its end, right? The Raiden Shogun had already seen Raiden Ei’s will. She probably hadn’t won a single match, and out of a desire for survival, wanted to give it one last shot.
Just as she thought, the battle entered its final stage, but... a sudden situation occurred in the process.
Musou Isshin in Raiden Ei’s hand experienced a problem. When it collided with the Raiden Shogun, Musou Isshin suddenly unleashed a vast power.
This power affected the consciousness space, causing a crack to appear, engulfing Durandal, Raiden Ei, and the Raiden Shogun.
"What... what is going on? A sudden situation? Or is there a problem with this space?"
Durandal used her power to try and stabilize the space, but the sudden appearance of the space caught Durandal off guard. This feeling was very unpleasant, just like when she was suddenly attacked and teleported from the Demon Realm to the Arad Continent.
She thought something else was about to happen, but the unpleasant feeling didn’t last long. Durandal quickly stabilized herself and found herself in a very peculiar space.
In front of her, a sphere condensed from Electro Element floated there.
[Can you hear me, Miss Delezie?]
"You are... Raiden Makoto? What is going on? Why are you here?"
[Well, it’s not that I appeared here. I am a tiny bit of consciousness attached to Musou Isshin. Although you have resurrected me, this consciousness has not disappeared. I originally thought it was useless, but I didn’t expect it to awaken at this time.]
This consciousness was placed on Musou Isshin by Raiden Makoto as a precaution. When Raiden Ei truly unleashed all of its power, this consciousness would be truly released.
Just now, when Raiden Ei was delivering the final blow to the Raiden Shogun, she happened to completely unleash the power of Musou Isshin.
It was just unexpected that an anomaly occurred in the space, causing all three of them to be pulled into the torrent of time.
She also relied on Durandal’s power to temporarily create this small space, and Raiden Ei and the Raiden Shogun were also protected.
But she couldn’t maintain it for too long. During this time, she wanted Durandal to help her with something, to complete something that Raiden Ei should have completed.
[This matter should have been left to Ei to complete. But I hope you can help me, Miss Delezie.]
At this moment, a special seed fell into Durandal’s hand.
[Please plant this seed in a suitable place. I think you should have recognized the Main Body of this seed, right?]
"...sacred sakura tree."
Although it hadn’t taken root and sprouted yet, this seed undoubtedly contained the power of the sacred sakura tree. It wasn’t a new sacred sakura tree, but the one planted on Mt. Yougou, the tree that had already taken root in Inazuma and become a part of Inazuma.
"How is this possible? Is the time the sacred sakura tree was planted not in the past, but now?"
[It should have been, but a sudden anomaly caused a slight change in the original plan. You also know the importance of the sacred sakura tree to Inazuma. Without the sacred sakura tree to purify the filth, Inazuma would not have been able to withstand the disaster five hundred years ago.]
Although that disaster still caused enormous destruction to Inazuma, without the purifying effect of the sacred sakura tree, Inazuma probably wouldn’t have survived that disaster.
No matter what, the sacred sakura tree must be planted, otherwise the chain reaction it would cause would be more than Inazuma could bear.
"Tell me what I should do?"
[You will soon understand. I’ll entrust this matter to you and Ei. I believe you will definitely do it well. Remember the sign -7230107230174594981017459498Ei. I believe you will definitely do it well. Remember the sign -72.]
After speaking, Durandal felt the space beneath her feet shatter, her body began to freefall, and her consciousness gradually became blurry.
[The rest is up to you, Ei. This is the only thing I can do for you. I hope you can try hard and not disappoint me.]
With a hopeful heart, the consciousness of Raiden Makoto remaining in Musou Isshin gradually faded away. At the last moment, she managed to open a portal at a certain point in time, leaving them a way out.
On the other side, when Durandal regained consciousness, she found herself in a place she had never been before.
Where was this? Durandal was a bit confused about the current situation, but she could be sure that this was not the Inazuma she remembered.
She searched nearby and soon found Raiden Ei, who had fainted.
This was not a place to rest, so Durandal carried Raiden Ei and found a cave nearby where they could rest.
Durandal stayed by Raiden Ei’s side. After several hours, Raiden Ei slowly opened her eyes, looking around in confusion.
