In the early morning, a clear and gentle ray of sunlight quietly shone upon the ancient Inazuma City. The golden light tenderly caressed every inch of this city. In the air, the fresh scent brought by the rain intertwined with a trace of indescribable bloodiness, forming a unique and complex aroma.
The residents of Inazuma awoke in the morning glow and began their day of labor and life. However, they soon noticed something unusual—the usually arrogant Vision Hunt Decree were nowhere to be seen. In this unusual calm, people couldn't help but feel suspicious.
And just at this moment, an army, in strict formation and with firm steps, advanced towards Tenshukaku. Their uniforms were distinctly different from those of the Shogunate army, exuding a different kind of authority. Some well-informed individuals immediately recognized the true Identity of this force—they were the Resistance from Fudé Port. At this moment, Inazuma City was filled with an unprecedented tension and anticipation.
Soon, the Resistance reached the gate of Tenshukaku. At this moment, the Hatamoto who guarded this place widened their eyes, looking at this scene in disbelief, almost suspecting they had fallen into some kind of illusion. "Stand down, or fight to the death!" Kaedehara Kazuha gripped his bloodstained samurai sword tightly, exuding a chilling killing intent. His voice was cold and decisive. Facing this powerful aura, the Hatamoto involuntarily shrank back. Kaedehara Kazuha glanced at them disdainfully, then led his army forward without hesitation, stepping through the gate of Tenshukaku.
Shortly after, they ascended the long stone steps, finally arriving at the imposing Tenshukaku. Kaedehara Kazuha, Kamisato Ayaka, Kamisato Ayato, Chiori, Gorou, and Thunderclap went in together, while the rest remained outside Tenshukaku.
The interior of Tenshukaku was empty and silent. Only the Raiden Shogun was seen sitting alone on a low seat. As the footsteps of Kaedehara Kazuha and the others sounded, she suddenly opened her eyes, a hint of surprise flashing within them, clearly not understanding how this group had entered here so quietly.
"You trespass Tenshukaku. For what purpose?" the Raiden Shogun questioned expressionlessly.
Kaedehara Kazuha's gaze was firm. He gripped the samurai sword in his hand tightly, the blade pointed directly at the Raiden Shogun. His voice was strong and resolute: "We have come to put an end to your Eternal Justice!" This sentence seemed to have struck a nerve in the Raiden Shogun. She instantly rose from her seat, cold lightning flickering in her eyes. With a flip of her hand, a tachi surrounded by lightning appeared out of nowhere, shimmering with a terrifying glow.
"If that is the case, then you shall die!" the Raiden Shogun's tone was cold and decisive. As soon as her words fell, she charged towards Kaedehara Kazuha like a flash of lightning, the tachi striking down with the force of a thousand thunderbolts.
Facing this sudden attack, Kaedehara Kazuha did not dare to be careless. The Anemo Vision at his waist suddenly lit up, emitting a cyan light. At the same time, his deceased friend's Electro Vision also trembled in response. He gripped his samurai sword tightly, using all his strength to meet the blow.
"Clang!" A deafening sound of metal clashing echoed. Kaedehara Kazuha felt a tremendous force transmitted to him, and his arm went numb. Under the impact of this force, he was sent flying over ten meters, like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the ground.
The Raiden Shogun did not stop. Just as she was about to pursue and eliminate him, she was promptly blocked by Kamisato Ayaka and the others.
"Kamisato Art: Hyouka!" As Kamisato Ayaka called out, a pure white ice flower slowly bloomed centered around her, the cold air spreading.
"Kamisato Art: Kyouka!" Kamisato Ayato softly intoned, leaving behind a rippling water shadow. He launched a rapid series of attacks with his sword art.
"Hiyoku: Twin Blades!" Chiori's movements were light, like fluttering silk. She attacked the Raiden Shogun with swift thrusts.
...
At this moment, various elemental skills, like brilliant fireworks, struck the Raiden Shogun, leaving her overwhelmed and struggling to cope. Kaedehara Kazuha seized the opportunity and quickly returned to the battle. His coordination with Thunderclap was seamless, like a sharp sword thrusting directly at the Raiden Shogun's weak spot. Under the combined assault of the group, the Raiden Shogun actually seemed to lack strength and was beaten back step by step for a time.
Suddenly, a powerful pressure erupted from the Raiden Shogun's entire body, like invisible power waves, instantly shaking everyone back repeatedly. There was no expression on her cold face, only determination and resolve flickering in her eyes. Following this, she slowly drew the legendary Musou Isshin from her chest. This sword seemed to gather all the power of thunder. Violent lightning surrounded the blade. When the Musou Isshin was fully drawn, the entire Tenshukaku was instantly filled with chaotic lightning, and the violent Electro element filled the entire space like a flood. The deafening thunder roared, shaking heaven and earth, filling people with fear.
"I shall carve all of you into cold stone statues." With unparalleled will, she swung the Musou Isshin. A single, thoughtless slash of light ripped through the sky, cleaving towards Kaedehara Kazuha and the others.
Facing this impending slash, Kaedehara Kazuha felt no fear. He remembered his friend's words: "There will always be those who dare to face the lightning's glow!" His resolve was now firm. The formerly dim Electro Vision at his waist suddenly bloomed with an unprecedented purple radiance at this moment, echoing with his other Anemo Vision. They shone brightly, radiating brilliantly. He resolutely raised his sword, actively stepping forward to meet the Raiden Shogun's challenge.
"Clang!" A deafening sound of metal clashing rang out. The swords collided fiercely once again. This time, Kaedehara Kazuha actually steadily blocked the Raiden Shogun's Musou no Hitotachi and was not sent flying.
A trace of surprise flashed in the Raiden Shogun's eyes. Clearly, for her, this situation was simply unbelievable. She did not stop because of this. After a brief moment of astonishment, she immediately unleashed another swift slash. Kaedehara Kazuha had exhausted his strength after blocking the first slash. Facing this second slash that followed closely, he was unable to resist any longer.
Just at this critical moment, a black sword suddenly appeared like a ghost, blocking the Raiden Shogun's fatal blow just in time.
