"A tomb?!…" Li Xuan looked at the object before him in astonishment, his mouth slightly agape… He never expected the source of the Honkai to be a tomb…
Of course, he didn't know that in the far east… an equally special tomb under the sea was also waiting for him…
"Yes, Master… this is a tomb," Liv confirmed, standing beside Li Xuan.
"..." Just then, another figure emerged from the dense black fog not far from Li Xuan.
"Everyone, be careful… that thing is back!" Li Xuan immediately spotted the girl standing in the black fog, who looked identical to Raiden Mei, and shouted a warning.
"..." Yae Sakura silently placed her hand on the hilt of her Spirit Blade-Sakurafubuki, which hung at her waist.
"Tch, I knew it wouldn't be that easy to get rid of," Li Xuan gritted his teeth and said helplessly, looking at the figure that was so similar to the Mei in his memory.
"Who are you?!" Li Xuan shielded Liv and Yae Sakura behind him and shouted at 'Mei'. A golden light pulsed from his 'Xuanyuan Festive Garb', and an azure shield reappeared.
"..." The girl remained silent.
Just then, the tomb in front of Li Xuan and the others began to emit a faint white light. Streaks of purple will-o'-the-wisps suddenly appeared on the tomb.
"Chikage! You fiend! You shall not set foot in this place!" Amidst the faint white light, a girl in a formal black kimono slowly emerged from the will-o'-the-wisps on the left side of the tomb. Her empty, azure eyes stared at Li Xuan's group as she spoke angrily, her black hair swaying gently.
"The blood debt of my clan shall be repaid with your life!" On the right side of the tomb appeared a white-haired girl holding a white paper umbrella, also dressed in a white kimono. Her gray eyes also watched the group as she spoke slowly.
"Wait!!... We're not Chikage!" Li Xuan hurriedly shouted at the two beautiful, doll-like girls before him.
However, it was useless… The two girls still assumed a fighting stance.
"There's no point in talking!" said the black-haired girl.
"Prepare to die!" the white-haired girl added.
"..." Li Xuan was speechless, a vein popping on his forehead. I've had enough! Why is it that every person, Gundam, and even ghost I meet always wants to kill someone at the drop of a hat…. Do they really think we're a pushover?!
Li Xuan was furious... Ever since he transmigrated to this strange Honkai world, it felt like he'd had eight lifetimes of bad luck, constantly getting entangled in strange situations…
"Sakura, Liv, you two don't need to do anything… let me handle this," Li Xuan said with his eyes lowered.
"Eh?!" Liv was a little worried.
"Oh!~" Yae Sakura responded, sheathing her Spirit Blade-Sakurafubuki once more.
"..." Li Xuan silently took out his seven-star weapon from his ring—'Tyr's Warblade'—and then silently hoisted it onto his shoulder, skillfully opening the scope on the launcher.
"Go, go!~ Our samurai," the two girls said slowly, as if chanting, while standing on the tomb. As they spoke their prayer-like words, the shadows on the ground suddenly solidified, turning into black shadow samurai holding black katanas out of thin air.
"Go to hell!" Li Xuan's long-suppressed emotions erupted like a volcano. His right eye, which seemed to be cast from gold, flashed with a golden light. His right index finger fiercely pressed the launcher's trigger, and the seven-star weapon 'Tyr's Warblade', radiating a warm golden glow, roared once more.
"*Thump! Thump! Thump!*" With three muffled sounds, three exquisite, art-like rockets shot out with a glorious light, whistling as they tore through the air and directly hit the Oni Samurai that had just materialized from the ground. Under the detection and prediction of Li Xuan's 'Jao Shingan', the three rockets from 'Tyr's Warblade' detonated at close range among the Oni Samurai.
"*BOOM!!!*" A scorching flame, like a dragon's roar, bloomed among the Oni Samurai… The newly-formed Oni Samurai were instantly swallowed by the shockwave and flames as if they were made of paper.
The explosion triggered by 'Tyr's Warblade' even sent the two girls floating in the air flying, causing them to fall to the ground.
"There's nothing that can't be solved with one shot of 'Tyr's Warblade'… if there is… then two!" Li Xuan lowered the seven-star weapon 'Tyr's Warblade' from his shoulder, a dangerous smile on his face.
"What if two shots can't solve it?" Yae Sakura, standing beside Li Xuan, suddenly asked with an innocent expression.
"..." Li Xuan was instantly pulled back from his somewhat frenzied state and fell silent for a moment.
"…Then a few more shots, until it's solved…" Li Xuan exhaled, returned the weapon to the ring in his hand, and looked up with a smile.
"Ugh… where is this?…" The black-haired girl stood up from the ground again, shaking her head, her long black hair swaying with the movement.
"Sister… has Chikage's curse been broken?" The white-haired girl, holding her white paper umbrella, covered her forehead and stood up as if waking from a dream, asking the black-haired girl beside her.
"Who are you?!" The two girls suddenly said in unison upon noticing Li Xuan and the others.
"..." The situation became a bit awkward…
