Disgusting!
No girl would ever want to be wrapped up by a toad's tongue.
Though Tomoe Gozen was a seasoned general, even she was shaken by such an attack.
She tried to evade, but found her legs suddenly weak. It was strange and unexpected, but she had no time to ponder why!
Her legs gave out, and the tongue showed no mercy! Tomoe Gozen's eyes welled up with tears! To be licked by such a tongue! She'd rather die!
Shuten Doji, nearby, remained composed. Catching a glimpse of a figure appearing beside Tomoe Gozen, Shuten Doji smiled. Plan successful!
*Boom!!*
Lightning! Mo Shuying switched cards, once again transforming into the God of Thunder's son!
A bolt of wild lightning shot from Mo Shuying's hand! His other arm wrapped around Tomoe Gozen.
The wild lightning struck! It instantly shattered the toad demon's tongue, blasting the toad itself into fragments!
"The Boundary Field is gone, and you still dare to act so arrogantly with me?!"
Lightning flickered in Mo Shuying's eyes. To him, the numerous demons around were nothing more than grasshoppers in autumn—they wouldn't last long!
"Summon Lightning!"
*Boom boom boom boom boom!*
Following Mo Shuying's gesture, dark clouds gathered in the sky, followed by a fierce, rain-like assault of lightning.
Lightning was the bane of demonic creatures, and even Shuten Doji was wary of it, let alone these mutated demons.
Basically, one strike took out a large area. Mo Shuying, wielding lightning as if the God of Thunder himself had descended, was continuously surrounded by falling bolts that illuminated the area as brightly as day.
Shuten Doji had already stopped. With Mo Shuying here, why would she need to exert herself?
Soon.
With a wave of Mo Shuying's hand, the clouds dispersed and the rain ceased.
Not a single demon was left standing. Most lay there, charred black.
"Is that it? That's all?"
Mo Shuying was still a bit unsatisfied. He scanned the surroundings, hoping to find traces of enemies. If he could locate the mastermind, that would be ideal.
But unfortunately, the Two-Tone Haired Man had already fled when Mo Shuying made his move, leaving behind only a dim and dissipating orb of light.
At this point, Nihon's Blood Realm plan was a complete failure. Not only did it fail to become an invincible Blood Realm, it even sacrificed nearly half of its population.
This kind of loss was more than Nihon could bear.
Seeing no other enemies, Mo Shuying, still crackling with lightning, slowly descended. He looked down at the person in his arms; Tomoe Gozen was pressed against his chest, unmoving.
Mo Shuying could see that Tomoe Gozen's body was beginning to turn transparent—a sign of depleted Mana.
"Don't move, I'll replenish your Mana."
Mo Shuying reached out, ready to resupply Tomoe Gozen with Mana.
But Tomoe Gozen lifted her head, her crimson eyes still glistening with tears. Her gaze was filled with immense gratitude, yet deep within, there was a hint of daze and fervent desire! It gave off a feeling of not being fully conscious.
Mo Shuying felt something was off. Just as he was about to ask, Tomoe Gozen's hands suddenly shot out like nimble snakes, quickly wrapping around Mo Shuying's neck. Then, her cherry lips pressed against Mo Shuying's mouth!
"Mm!"
Mo Shuying's eyes widened. This "benefit" came too suddenly, didn't it?
Though it was a benefit, Mo Shuying still felt his Mana being drained. This method of replenishment was certainly more efficient, but it was also incredibly stimulating.
As the other party sucked, Mo Shuying began to turn passive into active.
"Mm~"
"Wow~ Little Tomoe is quite capable~ She knows how to take the initiative. Yes, she regretted her whole life for not being proactive enough in her past life, it's about time she grew up a bit."
Shuten Doji took a swig from her gourd, her eyes incredibly cunning. Her poison wasn't just deadly; if she willed it, its effects could be infinitely varied!
Qing Nü, standing nearby, gasped and covered her eyes, though the wide gaps between her fingers likely made no difference.
Soon.
"Mm~"
Tomoe Gozen pushed Mo Shuying away. She had absorbed enough Mana and regained her strength.
"You! Don't misunderstand! I was just replenishing my Mana!"
Now clear-headed, Tomoe Gozen felt a bit annoyed. She didn't know what had come over her. Although it was a hero-saving-the-beauty situation, to be so proactive—that wasn't like her!
"Uh..."
Hearing Tomoe Gozen say that, Mo Shuying didn't know how to respond. He scratched his head. It seemed he was the one who benefited here. Never mind, I'll give Tomoe Gozen some face.
"Oh~ How bold, Little Tomoe~ As expected, it really does take a hero saving the beauty. Master, look, our Little Tomoe has completely fallen~ Well done~"
Shuten Doji flew down on her sake gourd, her first words a tease.
"Lady Shuten!"
Tomoe Gozen's face flushed crimson. It was utterly humiliating. To preserve her last shred of conviction, Tomoe Gozen's expression turned serious as she said,
"Lady Shuten, and Mr. Mo, please don't misunderstand. My love has long been given to Master Yoshinaka. I have no interest in anyone else, so please don't make such jokes."
As soon as she said this, Mo Shuying felt a bit uneasy. Yoshinaka? Who's that? Is he a Heroic Spirit? If I ever meet him, I'll punch him first, then we can talk!
Shuten Doji, however, was unfazed.
"I know perfectly well that Minamoto no Yoshinaka has always treated you like a younger sister. You're also his lord and vassal. All of this is just your unrequited love; that can't be your excuse."
Shuten Doji was thoroughly enjoying herself. It turned out that playing matchmaker was quite fun.
"Even so, my feelings for Master Yoshinaka will never change."
Tomoe Gozen reached out and clutched the clothing over her chest. She didn't know what was wrong with her. As she said those words, her heart felt panicked, as if even she didn't believe herself.
"Let's put that aside for now."
Mo Shuying wasn't one to beat around the bush. As a straight man, there was no reason for him to shamelessly pursue someone. He reached out to stop Shuten Doji, who was about to speak again, and then said,
"The Blood Realm Boundary Field has been lifted, but the mastermind hasn't appeared. They're far too patient. And I have other matters to attend to, so I can't stay here long-term. What are your plans?"
Mo Shuying was in a hurry to return to Chaldea. After being away for so long, he didn't know how Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others were doing.
"Plans? I have nothing to linger over. I'm your Servant now. It's not every day you find a Master you don't have to work for, so how could I easily let you go? I'm coming with you."
Shuten Doji was the first to raise her hand to follow.
Qing Nü looked like she wanted to speak but hesitated. For a powerful demon to be as timid as a rabbit was indeed a bit much.
"If you have something to say, say it."
"Master, I want to return to Kisuisō."
Qing Nü mustered her courage and spoke, afraid that Mo Shuying, fresh from being rejected, might angrily strike her dead.
"Alright, as long as you don't commit evil."
"Ah?! Master, don't worry! I definitely won't do anything bad again!"
Qing Nü smiled upon hearing Mo Shuying's words. After a deep bow, she turned and transformed into wind and snow, departing.
Finally, only Tomoe Gozen remained, having yet to state her intentions.
"I..."
Tomoe Gozen's heart was incredibly complex. She didn't know what she should do next.
Without a Master, she could only exist in the present world for a maximum of one week. Moreover, she alone certainly wouldn't be a match for the mastermind. Staying would be useless.
But to return to the Throne of Heroes just like that would betray her samurai spirit. Failing to avenge her lord was a disgrace for a samurai.
But if she chose to follow Mo Shuying...
Tomoe Gozen looked up at Mo Shuying, who happened to be looking at her as well. Their eyes met! Tomoe Gozen's heart became even more flustered!
