Demon Sword Maiden

Volume 1, Chapter 70 - Blade Maiden (Part 3)

Translator: Sigma

The vivid red spirit power reminiscent of the beautiful core of a higanbana was blooming magnificently around Lily’s body. Her red kimono fluttered like the bird’s wings. Her splendid black hair flew in a sad rhythm in the red melody.

For the time being, even Shiu was entranced by the opponent’s beautiful, charming spirit power blooming in the night.

She was a little hesitant, but soon, she made up her mind.

“I can’t lose! The glory of my Mido Clan, my father… I can’t lose!”

“Hmph, let see how much you will inhale!” Shiu threw the secret-technique purple balls toward Lily.

With labored breathing, Lily covered her voluptuous breasts that were laden with beads of sweat, rolling in rhythm with her pants.

“Swoosh!” The Seiwa Tamashi in her hand flourished with intent, creating a fierce wave of air which blasted the slow-moving light-weight balls into the distance.

“What?!” Shiu was shocked. It shouldn’t be possible to throw off these secret-technique purple balls with a powerful force. Or else, they would explode in mid-flight. Lily actually circumvented this point by creating a blast of air with her sword to blow them away without touching or exploding the balls!

“It’s just a fluke!” Shiu threw more small balls. However, Lily did the same trick. She wielded her sword to create the wave of air, blowing the balls into the hot spring.

Although her trick was revealed, she knew it required great strength and good sword skills to create a wave of air strong enough to blow the balls away. Shiu was deeply shaken. This woman’s power-level was beyond hers! And now, Shiu found that she was running out of secret-technique balls!

If she continued this way, she couldn’t win…

Then her father would…

“I’m going to stake everything in this!” Shiu’s spirit power burst out abruptly. A blue aura emerged in the night. One of her hands held the last three secret-technique balls, and her other hand gripped the sword in reverse. It was her ready-assault position!

Shiu’s eyes showed that she was about to strike a life-risking attack.

Lily also felt the pressure. What kind of attack is she planning to use?

All of a sudden, Shiu threw the three balls in her hand toward Lily. Almost at the same time, she upped her pace, following closely behind the secret-technique balls. Her spirit power accumulated on the Shiroi Fugu behind her, which was all of her power at the moment!

Shiu had considered carefully. ‘If Lily wields her sword to blow away my balls with a gust of wind, then she would leave an opening and wouldn’t be able to counter my fatal attack!’

‘If Lily ignores the balls to block my attack instead, she will be surrounded by the mist of the secret-technique balls. Once she breathes in too much secret gas, she would lose her resistance!’

‘And, Lily can’t dodge all three of my balls at her speed!’

‘No matter which way she chooses to counter, Lily will be defeated!’

Shiu’s eyes twinkled, showing her resolute mind. The Shiroi Fugu vibrated due to the accumulated force of the spirit power. She chased after the balls, charging at Lily to determine the result of this battle.

Facing this dilemma, Lily didn’t dodge and chose to stand her ground, pointing the Seiwa Tamashi at the incoming enemy. The splendid red spirit power gushed ever more vigorously from her young, glamorous body under the effect of the drug. Gradually, strange, shining red runes began to emerge on the sharp, silver Seiwa Tamashi.

Seeing the purple balls about to reach her, Lily swiftly raised the Seiwa Tamashi high above her head. Shiu continued to follow closely behind with her Shiroi Fugu in a reverse grip, ready to launch a fatal attack with spirit power on the same level as a high-tier samurai.

“Boom ——!!!”

A wave of red energy blast slashed the three secret-technique balls like a raging sea of blood! The extremely powerful gust of wind blew all the purple mist backward and assaulted Shiu all at once.

Shiu was like a sapling inside a tornado. All of her clothes, including her stockings, were torn and blown away. Leaving only some strips fluttering in the wind, which clung to the important areas on her porcelain, flawless body. The purple mist attacked her mouth, nostrils, and bare skin directly!

“Ahhh!” Shiu screeched as she was blown away by Lily’s blood-red energy wave. She was rolled in the great wave for several feet and landed helplessly on the ground.

After that sweeping slash, the greenery in the courtyard looked gloomy as though the autumn wind had just blown away the yellow leaves.

Excluding the most important privates, Shiu’s front was almost naked. Instinctively she covered her medium-sized breasts and her nether region with a frown. Her eyes turned dreamy as she gasped, cheeks blushing a rosy red.

Lily adjusted her breathing, wiping the fragrant sweat on her hair. Holding the katana, that sparkled with strange runes, she walked toward the girl she had attacked to the point of stripping. With each step, her long, creamy legs were discernible at the slit of her kimono.

Shiu’s blurred eyes looked up at the slim, big-breasted female samurai walking toward her. Her eyes slid from the beautiful but cold eyes that made her heart race, to the katana with glowing, ancient, red runes…

Looking at the ancient runes that seemed to draw people’s souls, in just a blink of an eye, Shiu seemed to understand something.

Her eyes opened wide, clear pupils reflecting her respect and fear…

Her voice shivered from being defeated, subdued and humiliated.

“Blade Maiden… Sister, y- you are a Blade Maiden…”

The young girl with a blooming-flower-like face panted. With fear in her heart, she continued talking.

“No wonder I lost. I’m completely defeated…”

“Unmatched in the Heian Empire, the women who stand at the peak of human samurais, the monsters among geniuses, who can slash demons and ghosts with no qualms, an existence that is a cluster of power, beauty, and supernatural arts…”

“If I had known this earlier, even if Shiu had one thousand lives, I would never have dared to provoke you! Sister… You are… actually a— Blade Maiden!”

Shiu’s breathing grew hotter, and somewhat aromatic, as she gasped for air. Finally, with tears of despair rising in her eyes, she let out one last gasp before fainting.
