Chapter 87: That Woman Came Back

"She's back," said a man as he wielded his sword with force, slightly distorting the space where the blade passed through.

"Yes, have you chosen your side?" Sasaki's voice resonated, but Musashi didn't respond. He adjusted his grip and struck.

"World Cutter," he uttered, and the sword tore through the sky, devastating the layer of reality, but it was only momentary, lasting no more than half a second, and the world reconstituted itself.

"If this strike were complete, I'd assist the others. But I choose only the side that will win," said Musashi, sheathing his sword.

Both tacitly agreed, but it seemed too late. The skies began to redden, the local temperature rising steadily, and then...

A pillar of fire emerged on the horizon.

"She's here," they said together, opening a portal and swiftly heading towards the pillar.

"Repeat what you said, if you dare," challenged Valentina, addressing Gaspar, who was on his knees, pressed down by an overwhelming force.

With a movement, Sasaki sliced through Valentina's aura, who turned ready to face the two newcomers, wielding Gungnir.

"You are grandmasters, so you must know what will happen if I take that spear," she threatened, but Musashi and Sasaki did not immediately respond.

"I left to do something important, and when I return, I'm informed that my husband has been missing for almost four months because of a foolish family feud," commented Valentina, expressing resentment, hatred, and bitterness in her words.

She projected her voice and made a proclamation to the air.

"He will return, and when he does, the culprit will be revealed. And if any of his descendants are guilty, there will be consequences. I remained silent when Titania dared to break our pact, but now it's different; the pact is null since it was broken," she roared.

This message was heard by all, including those who were not the specific target.

"Valenti-" "Silence, the boy is alive," she interrupted before Gaspar could respond, grabbing his head and pressing it against the ground with a blow, causing the director to lose consciousness.

"Bastard, take him to your infirmary," she ordered, and an elf emerged from the shadows. "Tsk, Eleon," cursed Valentina as the elf took Gaspar and disappeared.

"Of course, good luck," said Valentina, a scowl appearing on her face. "What's wrong?" asked Musashi, seeing Valentina's fury increasing.

"Damn it! That bastard is almost dying!" shouted Valentina, disappearing into the flames. She felt Dante's presence being crushed by something very strong, to the point where the wedding ritual began to falter.

"She'll ruin the Human Kingdom if Dante doesn't show up," commented Sasaki, and Musashi replied lightly, "If that's what it takes for her to calm down, I'll help. I haven't been human for a long time; who cares about a useless people like them?" he commented, cutting through the wind and creating another portal.

"Stop using your sword to cut through space-time; one of these days, the Administrator will come again to reprimand you," Sasaki commented.

"Shut up. You only hang around with me because of the portals," said Musashi, leaving and leaving Sasaki behind.

As they both disappeared, the red fury appeared in the dungeon skies, looking down as she surveyed the area, seeing several witches holding... pickaxes?

"What the hell is this?" She questioned, and Morgana appeared by her side.

"The place is cursed," she commented.

"It makes sense, then. Did they use pickaxes instead of a curse master?" Valentina mocked, and Morgana huffed, "Humpf, don't bother me, I'm just giving time for the boy to grow!" She roared, and in the next second...

SMACK

"He's dying, you idiot!" Valentina slapped Morgana's head, making her see stars for a few seconds.

"Eh?" She questioned.

"Damn it, he's losing the connection!" Valentina shouted and summoned Gungnir, "Screw it!" She grabbed her weapon and threw it on the ground.

N/a: Hey, my dear readers, the chapters will be reduced for some time. I'm having health issues and can't focus on writing the chapters. I'll schedule only one chapter per day for now. I hope you understand. As soon as I recover, I'll resume with two chapters per day as usual. Thank you for reading!

PS: Please, I know it's annoying to have to ask this, but I would like you to evaluate the work. We're already in chapter 86, I know you like her, you wouldn't come here! This helps a lot and motivates me to keep bringing Dante's story! Thanks!
