"Hmph, these are our bonds!"
"Does anyone else have bonds like these!?"
Let March 7th have her moment with her hands on her hips; she was so proud of herself.
Even the usually serious Dan Heng looked at his palm thoughtfully.
Bonds...?
...Five people?
As if a keyword had been triggered, fragmented images flashed through Dan Heng's mind. His head suddenly throbbed with pain! His body swayed, and his vision went dark.
"Ugh!"
When he came to, March 7th, Silver Wolf, Zāwù, and Stelle were all surrounding him with concern. He was leaning on his long spear for support to keep himself from falling. The young man gasped for breath and, facing his companions' concern, hastily shook his head.
"...I'm fine."
"Dan Heng! You scared me to death!"
As for Silver Wolf, she took this opportunity to secretly use her consciousness communication function to instruct Zāwù.
Silver Wolf: Zāwù, if we have to fight later...
Silver Wolf: Unless it's absolutely necessary, don't use the moves you learned from Blade.
Zāwù: Why?
Silver Wolf: Just do as I say!
Silver Wolf: Anyway, you have so many skills. You learned Helm Breaker in an instant, and then the Mortal Blade in another.
Silver Wolf hadn't expected that when she told the boy to practice, he would actually do it! The problem was that he could actually pull it off. It was so absurd it was ridiculous! Also, Silver Wolf didn't mind playing the long sword herself, but hearing a teammate play it... why did it feel a bit cringe...? But Zāwù was an exception. He was too captivating, so it canceled out~
Zāwù: I understand.
He had vaguely heard that Big Bro Blade had an enemy he would chase to the ends of the earth. Could Dan Heng have some connection... to that person?
The small disturbance quickly subsided. The Voidranger Annihilation Squad regrouped. Stelle and Zāwù quickly became familiar with March 7th and Dan Heng. Silver Wolf wasn't as enthusiastic, always following them from a not-too-far, not-too-close distance.
Just then, Kafka sent a communication to Silver Wolf.
Kafka: Silver Wolf, Zāwù, how are things on your end?
Silver Wolf: Everything is basically going smoothly. We found the Stellaron and successfully "inserted" it into Stelle's body.
Silver Wolf: She has woken up and has lost her memories of her time with us.
Silver Wolf: I think she should be able to smoothly infiltrate the Astral Express soon.
Kafka: And Zāwù?
Silver Wolf: Um...
Silver Wolf: I think he's about to infiltrate the Astral Express too.
Kafka: ?
Kafka suddenly felt that leaving Zāwù in Silver Wolf's care might not have been such a good choice. She didn't want Zāwù to get involved with the Astral Express, or with that fiery red-haired woman, in any way.
...
Meanwhile, Blade wandered through the unknown tunnels of the Herta Space Station. Voidrangers, using baryon and anti-baryon ion traps, appeared before him. They seemed very interested in Blade, who also exuded an aura of destruction. For example, the interest in granting him death and destruction.
Blade's exposed scarlet pupil flickered, and he let out a mocking laugh. If they could actually do it, he would have to thank them properly.
But unfortunately.
"Five people, three must pay a price..."
"You are not one of them."
The karma-wind of Shard Sword tore apart the lives of the Voidrangers that should have withered long ago. And it seemed that more and more of them were being drawn to him. In a sense, he was helping Zāwù reduce that fatal, mysterious attraction to the Voidrangers, increasing his own slaughter in his stead!
But Blade had always been indifferent. Because, even if he used his Hellscape sword style without regard for casualties, no matter how many times he fell, he would always get back up.
How miraculous, the muscles may break, but he can hear the subtle sound of bones mending and reconnecting, flesh growing back at a mad pace.
How miraculous, a monster is nourished within him, yet he must let it grow into a behemoth.
How miraculous, he has already lost the will to live, yet his body recovers on its own.
Today, Blade was also spectacularly lost.
