Chapter 1265 [True Blade] part 2
[How are you doing this?] Tiamat asked as she was also incredibly surprised that Kisuke suddenly pulled in her core and started taking on her features.
'With some references from the past and also thanks to you for helping me summon your Sea of Life earlier.' Kisuke answered while feeling the incredible amount of power bubbling up, making him feel very bloated and thinking that he might just explode into nothingness. What's surprising, however, is the fact that an incredible amount of information was currently entering his mind, 'This might be bad.' He thought to himself.
[How did you even pull something like this off? I don't feel any of your original Spiritual Pressure being used in this form.] Benihime asked. Kisuke could tell that she's a bit salty with the current situation. It was supposed to be her and Kisuke who'd achieve this form, but that first time was taken away by her new neighbor. Nevertheless, she didn't say anything since she wouldn't be able to do anything against Ichibei if what he's saying is true.
Kisuke first looked up to the now very bothered Ichibei and grinned. Kisuke was happy that he was able to finally elicit a fun reaction from him, 'This is a good start I suppose? And from the looks of it, he also doesn't have any idea of what's happening.'
Kisuke stabilized himself for a bit before answering Benihime, 'It's his ink.'
[Ink?] Benihime remembers the ink that Kisuke refused to remove even though its effects were already disabled, [What about it?]
'Even if rendered useless, his ink is still intricately connected to his existence. It was thanks to this connection that he was able to name things. If this is a connection that goes from him to me, then it's also a street that allows me to reach him. I'll spare you the complicated stuff and just say think of it as a straw that I can sip from as much as I want.'
[...] Benihime became stunned and silent. She didn't even know that that was theoretically possible. And even if it's in the realm of possibility, only those not right in the head would be able to think of that as a 'straw', [Ah... I almost forgot. You're not right in the head.]
'I don't want to hear that from you.' Kisuke immediately retorted. At the same time, various black spikes went after Kisuke, though unlike before, he didn't bother dodging them. And as he thought, the tip of the spikes only shattered upon contact with his body.
