Chapter 27 - Chapter 27: The End

As the Raiden Shogun swung her blade, the scene was instantly filled with flashing lightning.

The blade she wielded transformed completely into a sword of pure lightning.

It was as if the entire sword was condensed from lightning itself.

The momentum of this strike was several times greater than when she had unleashed it in the underground cave!

That previous strike was a test, but this one was the Raiden Shogun's full-power strike.

Rumble!

With this strike, countless bolts of lightning exploded throughout the room.

Everything was scorched black under the power of the lightning.

And this massive room was split directly in half by this single strike!

This was the power of Musou no Hitotachi!

And this was only the Musou no Hitotachi unleashed by the Raiden Shogun! If the true God of Inazuma were to unleash it, its power would only be greater!

However... after the lightning dissipated, Yuuko's figure was no longer in the scene.

Looking at the empty space before her, the Raiden Shogun frowned deeply:

"This is the second time... How exactly did he escape..."

...On the other side, on the rooftop, Sayu was desperately dodging Kujou Sara's lightning arrows.

Although Sayu was a Shuumatsuban ninja and possessed some combat ability,

She was not suited for direct combat.

Compared to direct combat, Sayu was more suited for stealth and assassination operations.

Not to mention that Sayu was currently facing a General from the Tenryou Commission.

In this situation, Sayu naturally had no power to retaliate.

If this continued, defeat would only be a matter of time.

Kujou Sara drew her bowstring, pointing directly at Sayu, but did not immediately release it. Instead, she said calmly:

"State your identity and surrender obediently, and I might show you mercy."

"Ugh..." Sayu's face was pale, but she did not respond.

"Is that so? Is that your answer?" Kujou Sara closed her eyes, and the bowstring in her hand was released.

Whoosh!

The arrow shot from the bow, imbued with purple lightning, like a Thunderbird, blasted towards Sayu at a speed too fast for the naked eye to react.

"Ugh!" Sayu's face was pale, and she tried to dodge.

But she found that the speed of the Thunderbird Arrow far exceeded her imagination.

It was already too late to dodge at this point.

However... Bang!

Just as the Thunderbird Arrow was about to hit Sayu, a figure covered by the Geo Element appeared in front of Sayu, no one knew when.

That Thunderbird Arrow was also casually flicked away by this figure, directly deflected in another direction.

This scene slightly surprised Kujou Sara. She lowered her bow and whispered:

"Yellow Fox..."

After slipping away from the Raiden Shogun, Yuuko immediately came to Sayu's location.

The reason he didn't fight the Raiden Shogun earlier was because he judged that fighting there would not benefit him in any way.

Even winning would be useless.

Moreover, Sayu was also in danger, and if he didn't come to her rescue quickly, Sayu would fall into crisis.

In any case, for Yuuko, rescuing people always had the highest priority.

Yuuko's arrival also left Sayu stunned for a long time.

A feeling arose in her heart that it was very safe to stand behind this figure.

Sayu had never felt this feeling before.

But she enjoyed this feeling very much.

Sayu stared blankly at Yuuko's back, and just as she was about to say something, Yuuko turned his head and put a finger to her lips.

Yuuko smiled and said, "Let's talk about it later."

Sayu blinked her eyes and nodded obediently.

Yuuko smiled, turned back, and continued to look at General Kujou: "Yo, long time no see, General Kujou."

Kujou Sara's delicate brows furrowed slightly: "Yellow Fox, do you know what you've done today means?"

Yuuko smiled:

"Of course I know, but given the current situation in Inazuma, if I don't do this, is there any other way? Can your stubborn Her Excellency, the General, listen to reason?"

These words caused Kujou Sara to fall silent.

Normally, she would have already drawn her bowstring and shot an arrow.

However, due to the Vision Hunt Decree, a sense of doubt had arisen in Kujou Sara's heart.

She didn't know whether she should continue to follow the current regulations and maintain the Vision Hunt Decree.

Having witnessed too many unfortunate people whose Visions were taken away, Kujou Sara began to question the correctness of the Vision Hunt Decree.

But for her, the Raiden Shogun was an absolute existence.

So now Kujou Sara's mood was very conflicted and complex.

After a while, Kujou Sara sighed softly and looked at Yuuko:

"Yellow Fox, do you have a way to make Her Excellency, the General, stop the Vision Hunt Decree?"

Yuuko shook his head: "Not at the moment. Even if I defeat her, it won't work. Unless... she is willing to see me."

"Is that so..." Hearing this, Kujou Sara closed her eyes and remained silent for a long time.

After a good while, she reopened her eyes and said:

"I didn't see any suspicious people on the rooftop."

These words made Yuuko slightly stunned for a moment. Then, he bowed his head to Kujou Sara:

"Thank you."

Indeed, compared to that puppet general who only acted according to fixed logic and had no emotions whatsoever,

A living person like Kujou Sara, who possessed emotions, was more humane.

Then, Yuuko turned around, picked up Sayu in a princess carry, and said, "It's time to go."

"Uh..." Sayu was still a little slow to react, already being carried by Yuuko.

She was carried away by Yuuko just like that... After watching Yuuko leave, Kujou Sara sighed softly: "Her Excellency, the General, was what I did right, or wrong...?"

...Mt. Yougou, Grand Narukami Shrine.

"What!? Yellow Fox attacked the Tenryou Commission, injured the Snezhnaya envoy lady, and then escaped?"

Upon hearing this news, even the usually calm Yae Miko couldn't help but slightly open her mouth.

Then, Yae Miko shook her head and smiled bitterly:

"I was wondering how Yellow Fox would deal with the Fatui..."

"Turns out he just charged in directly... Should I say he's a reckless person?"

"Or does he have absolute confidence in his own strength...?"

"But... it seems the rumor about him suppressing the Vortex God in Liyue was true after all."

"Yellow Fox... indeed possesses incredibly powerful strength."

"I really don't understand what such a person wants to do in Inazuma."

"Never mind, since he has no ill will towards Inazuma, let him be."

"And since Yellow Fox has gone to such lengths, I can't just sit idle. Sigh~ My free time for reading light novels has been squeezed out lately."

Thinking this, Yae Miko showed a complaining expression.

Afterward, she gave some instructions to the shrine maidens and then left the shrine.

Yae Miko planned to go to Yashiori Island.

"Ai~ To be honest, I really don't want to go see that troublesome fellow, and... that's also the mess Ei left behind..."

"If I didn't have to quickly resolve these matters to prevent Yuuko from being affected, I wouldn't do it."

"In the past, I wouldn't do such dangerous things."

"Hmm, after all this nonsense is over, I must properly settle accounts with Ei."
