CHAPTER 1222: CHAPTER 696: REVERSAL (PART 3)

At this moment, Yagyū Jubei understood the meaning of the question Miss Battosai had just asked her, and realized the true pursuit within this seemingly cold and mad swordsman’s heart.

It was the great dream of a world united, where everyone is for me, and I am for everyone.

How could this be the Sword Soul, when it was clearly a rolling torrent of the Human’s Path?

The vision of the Fantasy Village praised by all nations was not an illusion, but the most sincere longing and prayer from the depths of countless suffering and oppressed people of this world.

This world is an idealistic one, where the power of the heart is infinite, even if violence and desire currently dominate, suppressing the aspirations of billions of weak people from rising up.

But this will of the people is unstoppable; quantitative change will lead to qualitative change. Sooner or later, this powerful and unstoppable force will break all seals, igniting with a spark, becoming a raging fire that dares to call for a new day, turning everything upside down.

Just like the Sword Intent of Battosai now.

The vision of the Fantasy Village in her heart was just a catalyst; what truly made this Sword Intent terrifying to such an extent was the surging great wish of the Human’s Path resonating with the Sword Intent.

Even if it only attracted the tip of the iceberg of that great wish of the Human’s Path, this force was already unstoppable.

Yagyū Jubei realized this in her heart.

This strike was not something she could withstand at all, and the strike carrying the vision of millions was not something she could seize.

Not to mention seizing the sword, even if Battosai voluntarily handed her the sword now, Miss Sword Master didn’t feel she could handle it.

She feared that as soon as she received the sword, the next moment she would be overwhelmed by the wish of the millions, her eyes turning white, drooling, reduced to a babbling fool.

This strike ran too deep; she really couldn’t handle it.

Fortunately, Battosai had no killing intent towards her, and this strike hadn’t even used Magic Power, so although she couldn’t catch it, she could completely dodge it.

However, just as Yagyū Jubei was about to sidestep and dodge this strike, admitting defeat at the same time.

She suddenly felt a pain in her chest.

Miss Sword Master lowered her head and saw a sharp long sword protruding from her chest.

Damn it, her mind had been completely attracted by Battosai’s Sword Intent just now, making her unaware that someone had sneaked up behind her.

In the end, Yagyū Jubei turned around to see the identity of the attacker.

It was a familiar figure.

She hadn’t come to block Battosai’s path alone today; she’d brought a trusted confidante, her junior sister—Takatsukasa Kaori.

And now, her most trusted junior sister had some heartfelt words to say to her.

"Senior sister, please forgive me, I had no choice, I’ll be down to accompany you soon."

This junior sister, who had always had a bit of affection for her, said this with tearful eyes.

But the piercing thrust of the sword was truly fast, accurate, and ruthless.

Indeed, as expected from a junior sister she taught herself, her swordsmanship was really impressive.

Miss Sword Master thought so in her heart.

She believed her junior sister was indeed forced into this; after all, she knew her sister’s usual kindness.

So who forced her?

Yagyū Jubei sighed and finally gained some comprehension.

Yes, some things truly have nothing to do with good or evil; their very existence is a mistake.

....Miss Sword Master in Comprehension of the Way.....
