"Yo, girl, long time no see!"
Looking at the now fully grown and mature Busujima Saeko, even Sora, who had seen countless beauties, couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Whether it was her appearance, figure, or demeanor, this girl was already perfect! No wonder so many men were crazy about her!
Moreover, what Sora cared about more was that in just three years, the girl's aura had grown at least ten times stronger! Even Miyamoto Rei, whom he had trained since childhood, was only at this level now!
Although he had taught her the method of cultivating internal energy, it was remarkable that she had reached this level through her own exploration. She was indeed a woman of exceptional talent and effort!
With a slight curve of his lips, it was clear that Sora was very satisfied with this girl.
"Yes, it's been a long time."
Although she still wore the same elegant smile of a lady from a prestigious family, only the girl herself knew how excited she was at this moment.
Finally, she stood once again before the man who had defeated her!
Just like three years ago, the man before her still felt unfathomable. He stood there, yet he didn't.
Busujima Saeko didn't think about whether she could defeat him; just being able to fight him again was enough to make her blood boil!
For the past three years, this man's figure had been constantly in her mind. Having a goal made her feel that every moment of her life was so fulfilling!
For that promise, she had unleashed unprecedented passion and potential, and her martial arts realm had advanced by leaps and bounds. Those once-renowned martial arts masters had long been trampled under her feet.
Sword Queen, this was the glorious title people bestowed upon her with infinite admiration!
"Do you remember that promise? If you are ready to stake everything, then let me see your power!"
With a smile on his face, Sora spoke.
Although this was a girl who drove countless men crazy, many would feel immensely honored just to speak a word with her.
But Sora knew that for this girl, those things were meaningless. Only by truly conquering her with strength would she acknowledge you!
"The loser will offer everything! The women of the Busujima family will never retreat!"
With the wooden sword held horizontally in front of her, a glimmer of determination flashed in the girl's eyes.
She knew this was a crazy gamble, completely contrary to the education she had received since childhood and the interests of her family!
But the girl did not hesitate or regret.
As the sole heir of the Busujima family, she had always done everything perfectly. But this time, even if it meant losing everything, she would not hesitate!
Because what she truly needed, only this man could give her!
"That's right, the loser will offer everything!"
To be honest, Sora was somewhat impressed by the girl's courage, this fearless and resolute determination!
"Regardless of the outcome, from now on, it belongs to you."
With a snap of his fingers, the wooden sword in Busujima Saeko's hand instantly cracked with countless fissures. With a few creaks, the original blade completely shattered, revealing a gleaming katana.
With an expression of intense fervor, as she touched the slightly cold blade again, the girl felt her soul tremble!
Although she had wanted to break that seemingly flimsy seal countless times, she had always restrained herself. She was a woman with a proud soul and would never do anything that went against her promise.
"Women of the Busujima family, unleash all your power, for your body, for your soul, for everything you have!"
"I have already set up a barrier around us, so you can fight without worry. No one will disturb us until it's over."
Manifesting the Sword of Kings, transforming it into an identical katana in the girl's hand, Sora spoke with a hint of excitement.
Although he clearly knew this was a battle with a predetermined outcome, for some reason, Sora also felt an unusual sense of enjoyment.
Perhaps he too had been infected by the girl's intense fighting spirit!
"Then, Busujima Saeko, here I come!"
With a bloodthirsty smile on her lips, completely opposite to her usual gentle and kind demeanor, the girl didn't hesitate for a moment. Her long legs kicked off the ground, creating countless cracks, and her body shot towards Sora like a bullet.
A flash of light in his eyes, Sora raised his katana and charged forward as well.
Without any unnecessary words or reservations, this battle, where they had bet everything, finally began!
Clang! Boom! Clang clang clang!!! Boom boom boom!!!
The sound of clashing swords continuously echoed in the sky above the empty garden. If anyone else were present, they would surely be speechless at the sight before them!
Flowers, green grass, and leaves were thrown into the air by sharp, sword-like gusts of wind, swirling like a tornado. Two incredibly fast shadows constantly intertwined on the ground and in the air.
Every time they crossed paths, they produced ear-piercing hums and dazzling sparks. It was hard to believe that this was truly the work of humans!
The two shadows were like sharp sword beams, cutting through everything in their path with overwhelming force. Even the air was violently torn apart, emitting low, painful groans.
Sora was surprised. The Busujima Saeko he was fighting now was hundreds, if not thousands, of times stronger than in the original story!
The thought of immediately possessing this queen of swords, this goddess that countless people were fantasizing about, filled his heart with immense excitement!
Busujima Saeko was enjoying herself. Only in the clash of swords with this man could she experience the ultimate pleasure of unrestrainedly unleashing her power!
It was this pleasure, which made her sink into an abyss of addiction, that drove this girl to bet everything in pursuit of it!
Busujima Saeko knew that even though she was already very strong, so strong that those so-called geniuses were no match for her, she was still so insignificant in front of this mysterious man.
She would lose everything—this outcome, she had known from the very beginning!
But she didn't regret it, or perhaps she was still looking forward to it.
If this man wanted her body, wanted her soul, then he could take them. As long as she could forever enjoy this pleasure that drove her soul to madness!
In front of others, she was a lofty goddess, a pure and kind girl. But only she knew that the bloodthirst and love for battle hidden deep in her soul were her true nature as Busujima Saeko!
If this man hadn't appeared, she might have never revealed her true self, continuing to be the perfect heir, a pure and kind girl.
But since this man had appeared, she no longer needed to hide!
Because he had the right to see her truest self!
The battle continued, from sunrise to high noon, and then to sunset, never stopping.
The sounds of clashing swords and explosions never ceased. The once beautiful park had turned into a wasteland under their battle. There were no more flowers, no more green grass, as if it had gone through an apocalypse.
Sora also knew that the girl was enjoying this battle, so he was willing to accompany her in this enjoyment. This was also the highest gift he could give her.
However, as a reward from the girl, Sora still felt he had gained a lot—he could possess everything of this girl!
So, if she wished, he would give her more and more such gifts in the future.
"Ha… ha…"
Breathing heavily, her clothes soaked with sweat. Due to overexertion, Busujima Saeko appeared exceptionally exhausted.
But her flushed face and the light in her eyes spoke of the immense satisfaction in her heart.
An entire day of ultimate pleasure, feeling as if her soul had been elevated. Even if it cost her anything, it was worth it!
Just like that night three years ago, looking at the long sword stopped in front of her, the girl wasn't panicked, nor did she regret. She simply showed a smile of relief…
