Chapter 52: Sinking World Moon!
The core ability of the 【Mind's Eye Soul-Controlling Sword】 wasn't the swordsmanship that came with it, but the ability to draw out a target's soul—or one's own—and use it as a weapon.
To slay a soul with a soul, capable of inflicting immense damage to spiritual bodies.
However, if one's own soul is drawn out and damaged, it's easy for the opponent to inflict a devastating counterattack.
Therefore, the best method is to forge a soul sword.
But, A false soul sword is fragile and easily broken. Not only does it require regular maintenance, but it also needs a large number of souls layered together to be used.
After each use, new souls must be replenished to sharpen its edge!
How could a sword be such an inconvenient thing!?
A true soul sword not only has a resilient soul with indestructible and self-repairing properties, but it also carries the power of shadow, complete with a "screen-blackening" effect, perfectly complementing the Great Black Heaven Sword Art.
Even if Little Mouse doesn't become my second pet beast, it's not bad as a weapon for Little Spider.
It could be called the biological version of an external sheath, A true physical plug-in mouse!A cannon salute to the birth of a king!
After seeing Little Spider draw the soul sword and how perfectly its abilities aligned, Lu Yu felt like he was in a match with a strong tailwind. Only one thought remained in his mind:
'This is a sure win!'
"I'm so stupid… I never should have believed that human's nonsense,"
In contrast to Lu Yu's delight, the Shadow Clipping Rat, having become a soul sword, was completely dumbfounded, realizing it had been tricked.
Other people pour out their hearts and souls just to make an oath, a mere formality, but you actually went and did it for real!
When you said you needed me, you meant to use me as a sword to chop things??
Ptooey!
Men!
At this moment, Little Mouse's resentment was deep enough to devour ten bags of potato chips without even a sip of water.
"I'll buy you something delicious when we get home!"
Lu Yu also soothed it a little via Telepathy.
If you want the horse to run, you have to let it eat grass; otherwise, it might fail you midway.
"Don't you dare lie to me! I want to buy lots and lots of potato chips and snacks!" Little Mouse, who had been wallowing in sorrow just a moment ago, instantly changed its tune.
Since it had already happened, it might as well get as much benefit as possible for itself.
Like its favorite human snacks!
"Alright!"
Lu Yu wasn't some black-hearted Capitalist, so he naturally nodded in agreement.
In reality, he had initially planned to buy expensive, high-grade pet beast Fodder, but he hadn't expected Little Mouse to be so clueless as to ask for snacks instead…
How much could snacks possibly cost?
Too naive, I could buy you a whole truckload!
Little Mouse instantly cheered up. Its soul was durable and could self-repair anyway.
It was often messed up by the Soul-Snatching Demonic Cloud with no compensation. Now, getting damaged could be exchanged for a large batch of snacks.
Worth it!
Young as it was, it had no idea it had just received a harsh beating from society without even realizing it!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The telepathic exchange happened in an instant. Lu Yu felt the approaching chewing sounds getting closer, and a Soul Magnetic Field enveloped him, suppressing his spirit and thoughts, causing him to tense up instinctively.
"They're here!"
Just as he could clearly feel the sound of sharp teeth colliding close by, layered and seemingly a bit noisy, he found it strange that the sound was so chaotic.
But there was no time to worry about it!
Lu Yu looked up, preparing to roll over and give Little Spider room to act.
However, the scene before him left him stunned for a moment, and he couldn't help but curse out loud!
Fuck!
Because before him wasn't just one Soul-Snatching Demonic Cloud Offspring, but a full five of them, with a dozen more rapidly approaching. Their hungry, greedy emotions washed over him like a pack of hounds, almost as if to devour him completely.
These things had even abandoned the prey they'd caught just to eat him first!
As for the reason…
What else could it be but the Taboo Cursed Seal?
It wasn't obvious at first, but the more he came into contact with demonic beasts, the stronger the "fragrance" on him became.
Plans can't keep up with changes!
In that case…
"I was planning to hold back a little…" Lu Yu's emotions fluctuated for a moment, but he quickly calmed down, killing intent boiling in his eyes.
"Since you're so enthusiastically serving yourselves up, I'll take everything on the menu!"
Although it was different from the plan, a battle is ever-changing. The enemy won't follow a fixed script.
As an excellent Beast Tamer, the most important thing is to adapt.
Thus, Lu Yu didn't freeze in place.
He decisively rolled to the side, dodging the attack of the five Soul-Snatching Demonic Cloud Offspring, making them hit nothing but air.
Before they could react, the world before their eyes was suddenly covered in darkness!
It wasn't a physical darkness; even their spiritual senses were sealed away!
Great Black Sky Sword Dance Third Style—Shadow Canopy!
It can temporarily block the enemy's five senses!
It was a sword art the Heavenly Nun often used to blind her opponents, then activate her Mind's Eye for a Dimensionality Reduction Strike.
If you blind your opponent, your own blindness is no longer a disadvantage.
However, this seal was quickly dispelled by the Soul Magnetic Field spreading from the offspring, and their vision returned!
Yet, in the instant they regained their sight, what they saw was not Lu Yu, but Little Spider, standing firm in the Void.
Silver hair danced, her gauze-covered eyes giving her a face as cold as a celestial's. The Shadow Soul-Controlling Sword, the transformed Little Mouse, was held at her waist in a sheathing posture, accumulating all of her intent!
Like a supreme swordsman from an ancient legend, she quietly guarded the land of Disaster, waiting for the moment a demonic beast appeared to eliminate it!
And at this moment, the demonic beasts were weak, To slay them would be a magnificent achievement!
Boom!
Little Spider's Mind's Eye opened, its perspective instantly unfolding.
She locked onto the five Soul-Snatching Demonic Cloud Offspring before her, drew her sword, her right hand moving as if to slay a serpent, took a step forward, and, with all her belief, swung the longsword in her hand.
Hiss, hiss, hiss!
In that instant, the sword fell, carrying with it an endless shadow that swept out like a storm, covering a twenty-meter radius.
The Great Black Sky Sword Intent descended, condensing into the illusion of a pitch-black moon that devoured all light.
Great Black Sky Sword Dance Fifth Style—Sinking World Moon!
The sun is annihilated, and the dark moon sinks with it, plunging all living beings into endless darkness, until destruction!
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!
The five Soul-Snatching Demonic Cloud Offspring had no time to resist before they were swallowed by the dark moon!
Only then did they discover that within this massive dark moon, countless crescent-moon sword energies were hidden, each one carrying the power to tear souls apart, all for…
A single, fatal blow!
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!
The sharp Soul-Controlling Sword energy instantly tore apart the arms they tried to use to block, and sliced their bodies in half at the waist.
Because the speed was simply too fast, their countless severed parts froze in mid-air.
In a flash, they were swallowed by a Void Fissure!
"Extract the materials!"
Lu Yu reacted decisively.
An eternal white light descended upon the Void Treasure Chest, instantly extracting the materials.
He had no time to check them, directly having Little Spider Blink with him to the vicinity of the Rune Iron Net.
With a flip, he crossed the net and returned to the human city.
Boom!
The moment his feet touched the ground, a hurricane swept in from behind, shaking the iron fence violently as if it were about to be uprooted, his clothes flapping wildly.
Sand and dust filled the sky, as if an apocalyptic storm had arrived.
Lu Yu turned around and saw the Main Culprit behind all this: a massive, pale arm, large enough to crush a skyscraper, now stopped in front of the iron fence.
Or rather, outside the Starlight Screen.
The massive Soul-Snatching Demonic Cloud had once again arrived at the city's perimeter, yet it did not advance further, because the Myriad Beast Tower of the Starry Host had lit up again.
The power of the stars flowed, blocking all distortion and chaos outside the city.
Just as Lu Yu had expected, The Soul-Snatching Demonic Cloud didn't dare to enter!
Yet because of this, the Soul-Snatching Demonic Cloud's rage was boiling.
The souls imprisoned within its body wailed, transforming into a Tsunami of malice that washed over Lu Yu, as if trying to distort the consciousness of this Ant who dared to profane it.
If it were an ordinary person, they would likely have suffered a complete mental breakdown from this wave of malice.
However, Lu Yu simply raised his head, revealed a mouthful of pearly white teeth, and waved goodbye with a smile, saying:
"Brother Demonic Cloud, you're just too hospitable! I've already helped myself to the local specialties, no need to see me out!"
I wonder if anyone guessed the first use for Little Mouse. On this new day, I'm still asking for Recommendation Tickets and Monthly Tickets.
Brothers and sisters, please give Little Mouse a thumbs-up and push it up the ranks
