1598 Chapter 1420: Mugen no Kaze/Jigen no rōgoku
At the next moment, she vanished swiftly and a shiny, scarlet line passed through the ice shield. The wind pressure from this phenomenal speed scattered the mist in an instant. Before the elf mage knew it, Gracier was already standing behind her, clutching her blazing sword and staring at her in silence. The elf mage maintained her fighting stance. She lifted the staff and gazed grimly ahead. Around her were countless ice crystals that had merged into a sturdy, defensive barrier. At that moment, both of them had as though come to a pause. But shortly after, a straight line emerged from the ice barrier and the late, powerful pressure raised the ice barrier that was split into two. Then, blazing flames fluttered and devoured the shattered ice barrier like a starving beast. Gracier canceled the flame sword and stood amidst this desolation like a Goddess of destruction.
Somehow, it was a picturesque scene instead of appearing horrific.
Gracier turned her head into the other's direction. Each was fighting a group of enemy. There was a quite a distance between each of them as if the enemy arbitrarily did this, maybe they thought they'd destabilize them and win if they were to separate them and this belief couldn't be more wrong.
Gracier was not in the hurry to join the other, she calmly waited.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, a hush fell over the world. The vibrant hues of day softened into an embrace of twilight, painted with strokes of lavender and indigo. The sky, once a vibrant canvas, transformed into a velvety expanse, where the moon, a solitary pearl, hung suspended with ethereal grace. It bathed the land in a gentle luminescence, coaxing out nocturnal whispers from rustling leaves and chirping crickets. The world, cloaked in this tranquil tapestry of sight and sound, succumbed to the gentle caress of the night.

Meanwhile, ten kilometers north to Gracie's actual position,Sakuya was surrounded by hundreds of enemies, humans, elves and demons. Some wielded magic some weapons. Sakuya stood calmly between holding her two katanas. Not only would use her katanas she will also use her magic, be it the Wind element or the space element. Wind magic surrounded her body and she suddenly disappeared in a thin air, enemies were left bewildered, their attacks striking nothing but empty space. Little did they know, Sakuya had tapped into the power of the space element, allowing her to manipulate the fabric of reality itself. In this ethereal state, Sakuya could move swiftly and silently, her every step leaving a trail of shimmering stardust.
Reappearing behind her unsuspecting foes, Sakuya's katanas danced with deadly precision. With each swift strike, the air crackled and shimmered, as if the very elements were in awe of her prowess. Her blades sliced through the enemy ranks, their bodies falling lifeless to the ground.
But Sakuya's battle was far from over. As more enemies closed in, she unleashed the might of the Wind element.
''Mugen No Kaze'' (Eternal Wind)
A gust of cyclonic force erupted from her palms, sending her adversaries flying in all directions. The sheer power of her magic tore through the battlefield, leaving chaos and destruction in its wake.
With her enemies momentarily stunned, Sakuya seized the opportunity to gather her strength. She closed her eyes, channeling the energy of the elements around her. The wind whispered secrets of the battlefield, guiding her next move, while the space element granted her the ability to foresee her opponents' actions.
As the enemies regrouped and charged towards her, Sakuya's black abyss like eyes snapped open. Time seemed to slow down as she gracefully dodged and parried each attack, her katanas moving in perfect synchronization. Her movements were a blur, her strikes precise and lethal. The combination of her unparalleled swordsmanship and mastery over the elements made her an unstoppable force.
The battlefield became a symphony of chaos and destruction, with Sakuya at its center. The enemies, once confident in their numbers, now trembled in fear as they witnessed the true extent of her power. With every swing of her katanas and every surge of her magic, Sakuya's resolve grew stronger.
She knew time was a luxury she couldn't afford.
''Jigen no rōgoku'' (Dimensional Prison)
Channeling the very fabric of space, she wove a cage of swirling distortions around the Yotengu, severing its connection to the abyss. Trapped, vulnerable, it writhed in silent fury. This was her moment.
Gathering every ounce of remaining strength, Sakuya unleashed a final, desperate blow.
''Dimensional Slash!''
Her blades crossed, forming a blazing X, a miniature storm erupting from the point of convergence. The force cleaved through the void, severing the Yotengu's connection to the darkness.
''!!!!!"
A scream, raw and primal, echoed through the shattered space as the demon dissolved into nothingness, leaving behind only the scent of ozone and burnt feathers.
Sakuya collapsed, her body a broken vessel, her spirit frayed but unbroken. The moon, witness to her struggle, dipped towards the horizon, painting the battlefield in hues of dawn. With each ragged breath, she felt the wind caress her wounds, whispering solace and strength.
This was not the end, merely a chapter closed in a never-ending story. She would rise again, stronger, her resolve tempered in the fires of battle. For the wind still whispered, carrying tales of hope and resilience, and as long as it sang, her spirit, like the dawn, would ever rise again.
The battlefield, now bathed in the gentle glow of morning, echoed not with the cries of war, but with the soft sigh of the wind, a lullaby for the dead and a promise for the living. Sakuya stood, a figure etched against the rising sun, a testament to the enduring spirit that danced with the wind and embraced even the darkest oblivion.
''Ops! That's cringe to think like that. It does suit me. I hope the other are doing fine. Gotta join them.''
[Level up!]
Sakuya felt refreshed after hearing the level up notification. Finally, she has reached lvl 200.
