Chapter 352: Princess Otohime’s Castle
The moat of Princess Otohime’s castle had no bridge. So Kazin stopped his sprint at rhe foot of the water and took in the breathtaking beauty of the structure. The front gate was strangely white and peace. The castle’a colour flickered between white and blue. How strange. Kazi sensed powerful magic emanating from the gate too. As well, the gate was the sole exception to the flickering colours, being a deep shade of black.
His left eye pulsed.
The water in the moat rippled with gentle grace and from it the Nure-onna stood and unfolded its full height. A black-haired woman with the body of a snake and bobbing on the moat like a guardian, it was a monster that did not seem like a monster. There was emotion in her eyes. Anger and agitation and passion. The Nure-onna’s tongue lashed at him and Kazi would block it and skid back.
The Nure-onna hissed, her forked tongue flickering out. "Intruder... you shall not pass—"
This was the future.
He would take advantage of the future. He leapt back, his white-silver sword surged with blue-yellow electricity. As he foresaw, in two seconds time, the Nure-onna emerged from the water. Slow and gradual and menacingly.
’Super Spark Strike!’
Kazi dashed forward with blinding speed.
The Nure-onna barely had time to react or hurl her tongue as Kazi zipped over. The blade connected with her neck and she screamed in agony, her body convulsing as the electric energy coursed through her.
Kazi didn’t let up.
’Not a one-hit kill. She’s tough.’
