The mirror that couldn’t even show the clear reflection of Shimizu’s countenance and shattered into pieces under Yuki Mayumi’s heavy stomp and reflected Shimizu’s distorted face under the dim sunset glow.

Shimizu’s expression and even her soul froze at this moment.

The mirror of the heaven-chosen mirror girl which held an extraordinary secret and contained a mystic swordplay that was more profound than the Genji Swordstyle, the apex for the samurai in the Land of East, and allowed even a mediocre and frail woman like Shimizu to defeat the other geniuses of the Genji, the mirror entrusted to the most special talent among the mirror girls in ancient times, the mirror coveted by countless dark powers, resulting in the annihilation of the mirror girls in their hunt for it, Shimizu’s precious mirror that had changed her destiny and blessed her with a life of her own.

It was Shimizu’s sole pillar of support and the only thing she truly trusted in the world which isolated and rejected her, bereft of familial love!

Yet, it had shattered just like that.

Shimizu’s eyes saw nothing else but the oddly scattered mirror pieces and her own unsightly face reflected within them.

Life and death, victory and defeat, honor and disgrace—these were the last things on Shimizu’s mind right now.

She turned utterly silent in disbelief as the conviction she had built up right from her childhood shattered into pieces.

“Is this reality?”

“Or a dream?”

“Or have I died already and arrived in my personal hell unknowingly, subjected to illusions specially made to punish me?”

Shimizu laid there motionlessly with a lifeless gaze in her eyes, clueless about what to do next.

“Get out of my way!” Lily was finally able to break through the demons’ assault a few seconds ago and was on her way towards her Sister Shimizu. However, her expression also hardened at this moment.

Shimizu had already lost the will to fight and fell into despair. The blow she had received from this revelation was much more fatal than the injuries she had received until now.

Yuki Mayumi couldn’t help but smirk when she saw Shimizu’s current state, “Hmph! You aren’t worthy of being killed by me anymore. Do any of you like her? If so, take her away,” she stated indifferently.

“How about handing her over to me then, Lady Mimori,” A tall red Hannya masked ninja approached Shimizu and kicked Shimizu who seemed to have turned quiet and kept staring at the broken mirror with a lifeless look in her eyes.

“Suit yourself. Lord Hojo, shall we wrap up this battle too then?” Yuki stopped paying attention to Shimizu and turned around to face Lily.

“Mhm, I meant to do just that! Kagami Lily, do you see how that woman has ended up? Fret not since you’ll end up a hundred times more miserable than her. You can look forward to that,” Dijon approached while taking powerful steps, dragging the broken, heavy tachi behind him.

“How come this woman has turned as silent as a corpse? This is quite boring, but well, she’ll do,” The red Hannya masked ninja stooped down, intending to carry her.

“Stop,” Lily muttered softly.

“Hmm?” The red Hannya masked ninja couldn’t hear it clearly since he was a dozen or so meters away from her, so he turned his head towards her and questioned, “What did you say?”

“I’m telling you to stop! Don’t you dare touch her with your filthy hands!” Lily slashed forward, sending a beam of sword light flying towards that ninja. Although he managed to dodge it quickly, the sword beam killed two of the demon soldiers standing behind him.

Lily then released a series of sword beams continuously, each aimed at the monsters that attempted to approach Shimizu. Even Yuki Mayumi didn’t face those sword beams head-on and dodged it swiftly instead.

Lily sprinted to Shimizu’s side and pointed the tip of her blade towards the monsters, “No one is allowed to take even a step closer to Sister Shimizu again!”

“Kagami Lily. Have you misunderstood something? It will be you who dies today and not that useless, delusional woman!” Yuki Mayumi stated.

Hojo Dijon stepped forward and waved his sword to signal the other monsters to step back, “Kagami Lily. How will I have my vengeance if I allow you to die at the hands of the Hundred Demons?! I shall chop that slender waist of yours into two halves personally today!”

The demons surrounded Lily again while Yuki Mayumi and Hojo Dijon had forced her to an impasse.

She might’ve had a chance to escape if she were to abandon Shimizu and Nanako and blitz through the encirclement of the demons, but she had no intention of showing her back to the enemies in front of her.
