Chapter 233: DDDS: Chapter 233
The attack was a premeditated strike; the cocoons shot out with incredible speed, the recoil sending the {female demon} sprawling across the ground.
However, as the cocoons hurtled towards Shinobu, they inexplicably dissolved into a shower of threads mid-air.
Shinobu descended gracefully, landing softly. A look of disappointment crossed her face. "It seems we can't be friends after all. What a pity," she sighed.
The sharp slash of her Nichirin Blade being drawn from its scabbard followed.
The {female demon}, having rolled several times, scrambled to her feet and spun around, preparing a counterattack, but Shinobu was nowhere to be seen.
She searched frantically, then, guided by instinct, looked upwards.
Shinobu, having leaped high into the air, had drawn her Nichirin Blade and was descending, aiming a precise downward strike.
The attack created a visual illusion for the {female demon}; she saw countless butterflies descending upon her.
As each passed, blood welled up on her forehead, throat, and chest, instantly staining her clothes crimson.
In reality, Shinobu moved with blinding speed, passing before the {female demon} like a streak of light, then rolling to a half-crouch on the ground, having completed her attack.
"Insect Breathing, Butterfly Dance, Caprice."
She calmly stated her technique, slowly rising to her feet.
Her Nichirin Blade was unusual; only the tip and the fuller were sharpened.
Upon closer inspection, the lack of a full blade didn't appear to be battle damage but rather a deliberate design choice during its forging.
The {female demon}, finally realizing she was still alive, clutched her bleeding neck, gasping, "My head wasn't cut off!"
She spun around to face Shinobu, her gaze falling on the peculiar blade, confusion evident on her face. "How... how is that possible?!"
"Ah, I see. The small woman's lack of arm strength prevented a clean decapitation," she realized.
"Then I win!"
The {female demon}, emboldened, raised her hands to launch another cocoon attack.
But as she did, a sharp pain pierced her heart, and her body began to fail; her hands trembled uncontrollably.
Another searing pain followed, and the {female demon} clamped her hand over her mouth, but blood still gushed out.
Her body began to collapse, her eyes wide open, filled with a dense network of bloodshot capillaries.
Her pale skin turned a deep purple, and a suffocating pressure gripped her throat. Her mouth gaped open, emitting desperate, ragged gasps for air.
Finally, her body convulsed violently, and she fell to the ground, her death mask a terrifying testament to her demise.
