Chapter 27: An Unexpected Encounter With A Yandere Spirit
On a certain dark, chilly night, the sky was adorned with an inky expanse of clouds, and the cold wind swept mercilessly across the streets of Tengu City.
The silence was broken only by the soft whooshing sound of wind as a lone figure flew through the night sky, his silhouette slicing through the air at an incredibly fast pace. He came to a sudden halt before landing atop one of the buildings, effortlessly coming to rest in a crouch before standing tall and fully upright.
His presence seemed to transcend this world, an almost divine essence in the midst of the night.
"Looks like I can only maintain this form for about an hour." the figure murmured, as though speaking to himself, his voice echoing with a sense of quiet contemplation. His expression remained impassive, his gaze piercing as he examined himself.
The transformation he had undergone was like nothing he had ever experienced before.
The figure was none other than Shido, now adorned in a form that resonated with power, his Spirit Mode.
Using the 'Concept of Multiply', he made a copy of himself that is currently in bed so that Kotori wouldn't doubt him in case she barged into his room.
This was the first time he had fully experienced the strength of this mode after awakening within his inner world, and it left him both awed and slightly elated by his current appearance.
No matter how many times he saw his current look, he couldn't help but feel slightly narcissist considering how sharp and handsome he became.
His usual black hair had transformed into long, flowing silvery-white strands, catching the light in stark contrast to the dimming night. His face, once handsome but unremarkable, had become even more so, the sharpness of his features amplified to a point that bordered on ethereal beauty.
But it was his eyes that truly made him resemble something otherworldly. His Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan was now activated, casting an ominous light from his gaze. Those crimson eyes held an almost evil aura, exuding a chillingly cold vibe that made his presence seem unsettling, like a harbinger of something catastrophic.
