Beelzebul realized that she had let her guard down...
Back at the Tenshukaku, she had seized an opening in the Shogun puppet and regained control of her body...
Afterward, although the puppet kept resisting, she had managed to suppress her...
Combined with what Dottore had said, Beelzebul was truly led to believe that she had completely subdued the Raiden Shogun...
But now, looking back, since the puppet had been able to suppress her all that time—making her completely unable to reclaim control over her body...
Doesn't that, in a way, suggest that in terms of mental willpower, the Shogun puppet surpasses her?
And furthermore, thinking about it now, could that opening at the Tenshukaku have actually been deliberately exposed by the puppet?
All so that she would make Beelzebul unleash the "Musou Isshin" at this very moment?
Beelzebul knew very well that it was only after she abandoned "Eternal" and chose instead to shoulder everyone's "dreams" that she came to comprehend the new secret technique — "Dream Severing Slash"...
The Shogun puppet, on the other hand, could only use the "Musou no Hitotachi" and was incapable of wielding the "Dream Severing Slash"...
But now, what meaning was there in thinking about all this...?
Beelzebul understood that although she had restrained the force behind her strike to avoid slicing open another Musoujin Gorge...
The "Dream Severing Slash" had already been released, and its power was not something ordinary people could possibly withstand...
In the worst-case scenario, everyone behind her would be utterly annihilated by that single slash...
However, in that critical moment, Orobashi suddenly stepped forward, shielding everyone behind him, using his massive body to take the full force of the Dream Severing Slash!
"Beelzebul, after all these years… did you go easy on me out of mercy, or has your skill truly declined?"
Orobashi spoke slowly, blood spilling from his mouth:
"This time… you only managed to cut me in two…"
It turned out that Orobashi's body had been cleaved cleanly in half at the waist by the slash...
"It's just a pity… I wasn't able to protect the others this time…"
With those final words, Orobashi collapsed to the ground.
His body began to rot away at a speed visible to the naked eye, returning once more to a pile of withered bones…
Although Orobashi did everything he could to block the slash with his body, he still wasn't able to stop much of its power...
The slash pierced through his massive form and still struck the people behind him...
However, his body had at least managed to slightly disrupt the trajectory of the slash.
It didn't strike directly toward Aether, so he only lost his right arm, and his life wasn't in danger...
But Lynette, who had been standing behind and slightly to the right of Aether, wasn't so lucky.
The aftermath of the slash sliced off most of her head at a 45-degree angle—killing her instantly!
Lyney cradled Lynette in his arms, his face twisted in grief and anguish, muttering over and over:
"Lynette… say something… Lynette, even if you only have half a face left, even if there's just one eye left, open it and look at your brother… Lynette…"
Su Yuan also frantically touched his chest in a panic.
He had clearly seen a powerful aftershock from the slash heading straight for it...
Yet now, it was as if he hadn't been injured at all…
Could it be that he had just seen it wrong—that there hadn't been any aftershock of the slash aimed at him at all?
But now wasn't the time to be thinking about that.
Lyney's current state was clearly abnormal!
If the condition for Lyney's Eerie transformation was related to his distance from Lynette, then isn't the distance between life and death the farthest distance in this world?
Now that Lynette was dead, does that mean Lyney is going to fall into a permanent Eerie state?
In the next moment, a surge of powerful Eerie energy erupted from "Lyney."
With twisted eyes and a contorted face, he glared toward Beelzebul, and spat out each word with venom:
"It was you… You killed Lynette, didn't you…"
"Lynette… I'll kill her—to avenge you!!!"
In the next instant, "Lyney," now completely engulfed in Eerie energy, turned into a blur and dashed straight toward Beelzebul!
Beelzebul knew that Elemental power was ineffective against Eerie forces, so she immediately drew the Musou Isshin and held it horizontally in front of her, forcefully blocking Lyney's strike!
"What a laughable sight this is!"
The Wanderer suddenly appeared at the scene at that moment.
"Beelzebul, it seems you've been bitten back by your own creation after all!"
"The sorry state you're in now—it honestly brings me joy!"
The wanderer looked at 'Lyney' again and continued to speak:
"Lyney, if your ultimate goal is to reunite with your sister Lynette again, you should stop what you're doing immediately ...'
Because, revenge has no meaning, even if you kill Beelzebul, your sister will not be revived!'
What you should do now, should be to kill yourself immediately!'
That way, you and your sister, can meet each other in the netherworld, no?'
Look, I've told you such a shortcut, shouldn't you thank me properly?"
However, in the face of the Wanderer's words, 'Lyney' chose to ignore them.
Seeing that "Lyney" was ignoring him, the Wanderer didn't continue to embarrass himself and instead walked over to Aether.
Looking at the wound where his arm was lost, he said:
"Traveler, good thing you're okay, otherwise I'd really be troubled..."
Aether and Su Yuan both looked at the Wanderer in surprise.
Those words didn't seem like something the Wanderer would normally say...
Since when did he learn to care about others?
"Beelzebul, no matter how much powerful martial skill you have mastered, the eerie power happens to suppress elemental power..."
"Moreover, the extreme sorrow and anger in Lyney is not something ordinary Eerie state can compare to..."
"You better not resist. Just obediently let Lyney kill you!"
"After all, you no longer have a physical form, only your consciousness exists in this world…"
"Losing the body of the Shogun puppet might actually be a good thing for you, since the current Shogun puppet doesn't obey you at all!"
Su Yuan stared thoughtfully at the Wanderer...
To be honest, even now, Su Yuan didn't really know what the Wanderer's true purpose was after all the things he had done.
The eerie-transformed "Lyney" was incredibly powerful, but fortunately, the Shogun puppet's body was also very durable.
Combined with Beelzebul's exceptional martial skills, although she had been at a disadvantage throughout the battle, surprisingly she hadn't been defeated quickly...
But in the next moment, Beelzebul seemed to see something.
She hesitated for a moment, then was pierced directly through the chest and head by "Lyney," who used a playing card soaked in eerie power...
