Light flashes across the mountains as the sparks glows within the forest at the bottom, as the light diminishes and all the birds that resting there was alarmed and flew away, two figures can be seen in the shadows of the night, one has a carnation pink ponytailed hair, she has a fair face with fiery eyes, dressed in authentic long dress with magnificent linen silk, adorned decorations and with elegant metal regalia floating at her back, with a fading magical butterfly wings and the other one has a black long hair with curve trimmings at the hair ends, with cold and heroic face, wears a majestic décor hat, a violet shorten length Yukata-like clothing with a various decoration in each side and with a red ribbon strapped on the back and an obi attached on the front, with a detached sleeves, a mini skirt, black stockings, she is wearing violet boots, a long purple with black lining scarf coiled in her neck.
This is Yinhua along with Inoue, as they survived the explosion, Yinhua uses the teleportation array but due to her low level cultivation, only she can do is random location area teleportation, but it still worth of using as a life saver, but this silent night makes the two sit and rest while keep recovering their almost depleted energy.
“Inoue, let’s move above the trees and sleep, I can sense that there are many beast lingers in this area, safety first is the best option for now” Yinhua spokes as she stands and then jump high to the wide branches of the tree.
“Understood master” Inoue heeds to orders and jump too and follow Yinhua.
Both the two rest in largest branch, Yinhua summons a soft futon and lay it on the huge branch flat surface, she then laid her body, Inoue follows and move to her side, both of them are really tired of the battle, at least they survived, they have a huge loot of treasures and relics from fallen Dark Mages they’ve killed, and lots of soul essence and memory informatics that Yinhua accumulated from her victims.
“Inoue, tomorrow, start to upgrade your blade, I will re-forge the looted item, relics and weaponry into a powerful relics that we can use to defend ourselves, these spoils are huge enough, also when the noon strikes, I will conduct an aptitude test to your soul realm to see which sword techniques are proper for you to cultivate and train” Yinhua said as she face Inoue and hug her tightly.
“Understood master, your servant here is open to what idea you will come up” Inoue replied as she heeds to Yinhua’s instructions.
“Dantian, meridian, body composition, Heavenly Dao martial arts, etc,, there is a lot of things I need to do, duhh, Martial Cultivation and Wuxia games is same as hell or whatever that I’ve played and spent some sweat, tears and even blood without using credits just to reach the rank three of the most powerful players, it’s been a thousand years and yet I’ve still remember them, talk about good old days in my past life” Yinhua thought as she smiles to Inoue and pat her hair.
Inoue understands what her master thinking upon hearing the training she mention this time, she suddenly blush red when Yinhua hug her tightly, she felt comfort from the warm hug of hers and she accept Yinhua as a whole, this is the bond that keeping grows as the time passed, thus leaving Inoue to hug Yinhua too and felt the heavenly sensation in her master’s warm body and embrace.
“Ah, a living dakimura is the best, often I wishes that the one that I hugged this night will be Tohka, I missed Japan and my otaku stuff…..” Yinhua muttered sleepy as she closed her eyes

Meanwhile at the camp of the Lightenguard Army settlement, inside the main tent, at the time of early sunrise.
“We are already too late” Archmage Medes said in down expression.
“No….” Lady Maia said in huge despair as her face turned ashen.
“My greatest apologize and my deep condolence for Lady Sakura” Archmage Marcia said in fading tone with a grieving face as she clasp her hands down.
“We failed Princess Erina, this will make a great panic to the people when they heard the news” Archmage Luciel said in great distress and disbelief expression.
The three went to the south to look for the underground base of the Dark Mages, which they encounter some of the Dark Mages escaping for their life like a swarm of flies, although the three cannot understand what’s going on, but as long as it was the said enemy, they’ve killed and slaughter the unlucky fellas who ran to their way by their powerful spells and relic weapons, until the three is about reach the said underground base and shock to see that the plant become abnormally throbbing, leaving for Archmage Medes to be alarmed and order the two to escape and find a way to survive in a great explosion.
Although Archmage Medes has a special relic that can protect him from the huge explosion, he still thinking about the safety of the two young Archmages, that’s is to why he let them escape first while he make a spell chant to protect the two, in just a few moments the explosion occurs and blowing away any living creatures that is very near to the base, the three miraculously survive somehow.
Both of them are really depressed in a failed rescue operation, like they thinking that this is their fault for being late at the location of their target, it was a deep silence until suddenly, a knight that clad in armour came inside the tent and bow and give respect to the three and the rest of the people inside the main tent.
“Greetings and good morning, your grace and honour visitors, a maid coming from the Sakura household wants an audience with her grace, do we permitted it, your grace?” The knight asks, while waiting for answers.
“Let her in, she will be my special guest, get some confortable chair for her and the rest” Lady Maia permitted and order.
The rest of the attendant heeds to the order swiftly, preparing the table clean and set the chair flawlessly and let Lady Maia, and the trio Archmages to sit with her, the Knight excuses and delivers the answered permit, for few minutes, the maid arrives with a scroll in her hand, she introduces herself with elegance and bow politely and sit with the four and give the scroll to Lady Maia without hesitation.
Lady Maia accepted the scroll paper and read the content of it, her eyes suddenly widen and her mouth open and agape in sudden shock, her hands trembling nervous, the three Archmages frowns and confuse from what expression of Lady Maia has in her face, something was off.
Lady Maia put down the scroll and placed her arms on the table and put her both hands in her head to cover her head in so much awe, the three looked to each other like their faces saying, what is going on? What happen to her? Is there something wrong, can you tell please?
“Archmage Luciel and Archmage Marcia” Lady Maia suddenly spoke as she lifts her hand from her hands that covers her face before.
“Yes Lady Maia?” The two immediate answered
“Rest at ease, go back to Lightenguard Kingdom and report the good situation of our improving service to build a provincial states for her majesty and the conference members, as for Lady Sakura, she survives and planned this whole thing all along, what a monster” Lady Maia said while a glint of smile coming from her face.
“She s-survives from the explosion” Archmage Medes shocked spokes.
“Yes, in fact, she deliberate it to happen, she planned it all along and ahead of us, to be frankly speaking, she has many plans laid for everything and right now, all the thing we must do is to focus for the survivors and refuges of the Fregalia Kingdom and build a solid foundation with them, Lady Sakura, sooner she will return” Lady Maia concluded as she felt a lightning hit her, she never expected that everything that happen right now is already dancing in Yinhua’s palm.
“If that’s the case then, we shall move now, you two, report this as soon as possible to the Kingdom, I will aid Lady Maia here for the help and security of the people, the poison of the Ever-garden Seed is very strong, all I can do is to lead the priest and priestesses to remove the toxic smog and flux that been linger to the ground” Archmage Medes added as he stand move with poise and pride stature.
“As you wish, milord Medes!” the two immediate response and stand up with a salute to the elder.
“Lady Sakura, I must admit it, you really know what will be the outcome right? Looks like there is something in you than meets the eye, now I know why her Majesty and His highness gives you the high value and treasured you so much, but now I will head to your planning for this Dukedom improvements as you prescribe the steps for me” Lady Maia thought as she hint a smile in her face in marvelled.

Back to the mountainous region, to the dense forest, a clang of hammer booming can be heard, Yinhua is starting to reforge the looted materials and molded them into a new relic weapon, as for Inoue, she start to forged the stardust shard to her blade and condensed it’s magical energy to it as Inoue focuses her mana convergence to it, both the master and the servant is very busy, Yinhua already know the layout of the land they were in because of the memories of her victims.
Each relics is precious in Yinhua’s mind, hand and her hammer as she flattens the materials and altering or combine it with another, she carefully picked and selected her materials and other precious ingredients to use in mixing and molding, ranges from various metals, gemstones, and etcs, she also upgrade her previous weapons to make them more powerful and terrific.
She start to added some functions to the weapons and improve their capabilities in battle, she also make sure that the weapon she made will be perfectly refine and has a good composition in every battle areas that she will faces in the near future, Yinhua will never be careless like what happen in her past, she will make some special weapons and strategies to laid on the battle field to ensure her victory.
From morning to noon, they forge their weapons madly and non-stop, after a few moments, Inoue finishes first and taking a look to the new form of her blade some few decorations and style added to the blade’s body, capturing precious jewel embed on it, the blade hilt has a saw like edges, the handle has a few styles added and a beautiful rope looping at end of the handle, the blade looks intimidating yet majestic as it releases a heroic aura, perfect combination to Inoue’s stature and style.
Inoue’s clothing too are upgraded to a certain extent, if her sword reaches the B minus, her clothing reaches the C plus ranking, her clothing becomes to emit violet rays more denser than before, it’s like the emitted violet lights are very strange yet captivating to the eyes of people as it glows beautiful for the suit, the status of weapon became more powerful, such as for attacks are increases and even the Celestial abilities will be stronger than previous state.
As for the suit, it is more durable protection for Inoue, even a simple knife or even a sword can’t cut through it like it was a chain and plate mail combine; the effects of the forgery also enhance the wearer capabilities in fight, just in game like a status up for the wearer of the upgraded suit.
For Yinhua, she starting to giggles as she enjoy sweeping her gazes to her masterpiece, a various weapons and even armours are made, glittering lights and flashes coming from it as a sign of perfect smiting she have done, she even can’t wait to try the more improve weapons and armoury she even prepared, just like a hungry beast that about to capture its prey.
“Yosh! Let’ see what it can do?” Yinhua said as she starts to pick one and get her notes on it for a checking.
“Wind Cutter Naginata, steel sharp, wind carrier and manipulator, pressure cancer, testing testing!” Yinhua said with a vigorous joy as she starts to spin it around herself.
Yinhua made a fighting stance and start to swing hard the Wind Cutter Naginata, with a wind arc slash, it sweep away an area of grasses, a huge tornado forms and lighting came along with it, even the clouds deformed and being absorbed by this relic made disaster, many weak trees start to uprooted and flew towards the tornado, the grass and large trees are swaying in intense pressure.
Inoue was taken aback to witness the powerful wind formation, it was even larger than the usual tornado she sees from the sky and different locations, she look to the silhouette of Yinhua, and saw that her master was still have a calm yet goofy expression, she never anticipated such as this, monstrous! Her master was above her league several leaps, cannot grasp the realm she have reached by her hands.
Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.
“Yosh, then how about this, “Crystal Clear Daggers” let’s see” Yinhua said as she stares at the glass dagger at the side and then disperse the Wind Cutter Naginata in a flash, and she start to pick the glass daggers with inscription mark on it and laying at the side.
She start manipulate the dagger like there is an invisible strings at their ends, she then muttered a chant and the daggers revolves and suddenly shines in different colors, it now releasing a powerful aura, Yinhua suddenly point her finger to the tree, and the daggers become to speed up to the direction of Yinhua’s pointing location, and all of the sudden the daggers releases an elemental power, the light blue hits the tree with a snap the three was cut into pieces by sharp winds, next is the red, when it hit the target, the target suddenly ablaze, the blue dagger hit the side, the hit area turned into glacial ice.
After a few testing of the daggers capabilities Yinhua disperse it into her bracelet and picked another weapon, today it was a ring blades, Yinhua start to make a circle formation by swaying the ring blades in her both hands, making a Yin-yang sphere revolving, she takes a deep breath and then she sharpen her eyes and body movements and start to make a circular slashes and swings, she then throw the one ring blade as the ring blade suddenly turn into five ring blades and revolves around Yinhua.
“Not yet! Ikuzo!” Yinhua shouts and jumps high and making a round spinning for a down fall.
When she reaches the ground the blade ring slams on the flat surfaced, the impact force wedges the ground deep and huge, making a cracks to both ending lines and some fissures can be seen, the other ring blades suddenly stop revolving around Yinhua and returns to her hand, Yinhua catches it easily and making a numerous yet short spinning slashes, she then throws the both two rings to a certain area, and some of chain of ring blades follows at that point the ring blades spinning pressure, vacuums and sucks all the nearby things, devouring the space to its place, so powerful!
“Come back!” Yinhua commands and the ring blades that keep spinning and vacuuming everything that is near to its spot and returns back to Yinhua’s hand in incredible speed as Yinhua catches them flawlessly.
She disperses the ring blade and checked the rest of the weapon, she picked another one. It looks like a big brief case, Yinhua remembers that this one is very special type of weapon she created based on the modern ideas she have in mind, she start to grin and look to its compact appearance, she suddenly throws it sky high and stand to little side of its impact area of fall.
“Gonna show some sickly smoking style” Yinhua points and them give a thumbs up and shown a sarcastic face.
When the brief case about to fall, only to a certain diameter of length of Yinhua’s shoulder, Yinhua suddenly punch hard the center of the brief case and the brief case suddenly transform and clamp to Yinhua’s body, making an exoskeleton to her body parts and making a few set ups of armour cover her entirety, making metal suit on completion.
Yinhua then take a deep breath and suddenly fly high with burst of energy that almost wrecked the foreground she once step on, Inoue just stare to the fading silhouette of Yinhua as her master flew in very fast speed, Yinhua suddenly rushes down to the surface back to her recent location, and launch some powerful Magic Light missiles on the ground, she then fire some laser beams to the target area, incinerating the hit target.
Explosions and flames engulf the hit area, Yinhua lands with powerful impact yet she felt nothing on landing, Yinhua clicks something in the part of her machinery and it’s disperse and turned into a huge gun, a particle cannon to be exact. Yinhua charges her soul energy to the gun as it converts the soul force absorbed from Yinhua and start to gather energy particles.
“Fire coming like just Mato Kuroi, miss that game so much” Yinhua muttered as she stares the condensing fire power of the particle cannon readied and remember the game she once loved and played well in her past life.
Yinhua pulls the trigger of the particle cannon and fires a powerful beam of light, in an instant the mountain on the other side, explosion occurs to the mountain leaving it’s ground burning and melting, having a curve arc was left dry on the unlucky mountain, She then cracked the particle cannon and it’s transformed into a huge and long blade, she start to swing it hard and the unlucky trees was destroyed in one sweep.
“Just like Halvanhelev, sweet and smooth” Yinhua said with sarcasm and then she pressed her fingers on the blade and the blade turned into huge shield, Yinhua laugh, she then punch it for a last time and the shield reverts back to briefcase form, Yinhua knocks on the brief case and the briefcase suddenly disperse to her bracelet, although she have a various array of weaponry, only few of them selected just in case for the perilous situation, just a life saving equipments and utilities.
“Ok, it’s good and nothing seems out of order, next, Space Distortion Gauntlet and Greaves! Time to be like Fujitora to Black Beard to Okuyasu!” Yinhua jolted and she disperse to her brace and picked the black gauntlet and greaves with obsidian ornamented stones.
“Hmm, “Magnetic Field” activate!” Yinhua commands, suddenly an intense pressure of magnitude reaps the ground, Inoue felt the strong pressure and being pulled down to the ground, she was now on her knees, fighting back the intense gravity pull with her energy reservation, yet futile as it pressed down Inoue to the ground and forced her frail body to stuck on it without any resistance, so strong! Yinhua discharge the magnetic field and then she charge her gauntlet, violet energy is been receiving and condensing massively.
"Black Hole" Yinhua said in simple as she toss an orb of energy to a distance, suddenly the black hole become intesive energy vortex as it absorbs the whole area and location it landed, vacuuming any existence and life forms, as even the lights didnt escape from it's grasp.
Yinhua nods and take notes of the effect, this ability is quiet good for surprise and unknown attack, she then stared to Inoue who is still regaining her composure due to the "Magnetic Field" effect as she looks like in sorry state, Yinhua admit her mistake and suddenly she want to test another ability of her weapon right now.
“Get over here!!” Yinhua shouts and sweep her left arm along with the gauntlet, in just a flash Inoue was within the grasp of Yinhua, a space cutting vortex appears and disappears all of a sudden.
Yinhua holds Inoue in her left arm, both are too close, Yinhua gives Inoue a passionate kiss and hug her tightly, Inoue didn’t resist at all and savours Yinhua’s tongue and saliva as both of theirs connects, often Inoue was surprised from the distance of the area she was once been hugging the ground, and suddenly she found herself in Yinhua’s embrace and got some hot and intense reward, for a few moments Yinhua departs her kisses and then look to Inoue.
“Gomene, but at least that action may give forgiveness” Yinhua sincerely spoke and then smiles yet an apologetic expression can be seen.
“No, no need for apologize master, in fact, this servants want to have a huge thanks for the love you give for me, I, Inoue Yamato cherish it deeply!” Inoue replied boldly and give a hint of wanting for more.
“Is that so?” Yinhua surprised and saw through to Inoue’s expression, she then give another deep kiss not just to her lips but to her cheeks and even the neck is also targeted, so much love given.
For a few moments of passionate kissing, Inoue rest at the side and continues to watch her master testing her Relic items creation, there is a lot of useful weapon can be seen, one by one, another after another, names and functions shown, as for now the finale of item test, a strange range weapon of mass destruction, an array of different yet powerful relics, a colourful banner, and the Battle Regalia that been upgraded.
“The Silent Killer, a mahou sniper rifle, requires an amount of energy and even mana to have a bullet one shot and everything that been hit will turn into flames and ceased to exist, Honour for Taurus Silver or Shiba Tatsuya” Yinhua confirms and test the rifle, she saw a strange bird flew to the sky, she aimed for it and with one click from the trigger, the bird disappears into a flames and nothing left to be seen after the shot.
Inoue face suddenly change its color and become pale, if that gun hits her, surely she will be vaporize in an instant, without any kind of protection, it will guaranteed death on her side, lucky for her that Yinhua turned into her master if not she will be in real peril situation, especially Yinhua is very nimble than her and very unpredictable, or else she is being analyze and being planned to be deceived and when she is open, death is inevitable finish for her.
“Not bad, four stars out of five, now then my precious nine treasures, let see, uhmm, Sacred Scroll, Mirror of Truth And Lies, Flashing Zither, Blade of Corruptor, Staff of Eternum, Venom Pearl, Binding Jade Container, Scorching Robe, and Finally Divine Light Pagoda, oh for Edward Elric sake, it will cost me an arm and leg!” Yinhua cried but yet she was happy in the successful conversion of loot into powerful weapons but still this weapon is not powerful made, If Yinhua reaches the Supreme realm, maybe she can even made a heaven defying weapon of mass destruction.
That treasure maded by Yinhua is not very simple at all, each of them have a mysterious abilities and inscription marked by Yinhua and molded by her divine power, often it cost Yinhua a huge amount of Soul energy, but since she have still many mana potions from the Dark mages spoils and powerful concoctions from Greenie, she can recover easily her loosen energy.
“Next is the Rainbow Banner of Heavenly Edge, status upgrade, tenacity, once its activated, party will have a sudden boost and healing, and gives random buff for allies and to the enemies” Yinhua noted as she saw the banner glows and raised up above her as it was given a life, Yinhua smiles, she will just use this when facing a random enemies with strong abilities that enough to kill her just in case.
“Last but not the least, raise up! My beloved throne!” Yinhua ordered as the battle regalia raised up above her and summon numerous blade wings, making Yinhua a sort of heroic blade hero.
The blades start to spin around her and shines like a stars making Yinhua a miniature galaxy in her stance, the revolving blades makes a glisten of darkness and light show, Yinhua commands the blades and ride on it as it making flashes of strikes in every direction which Yinhua points, like a meteor showers sparkling bright and making a grand formation and well synchronized and coordinated attacks even if Yinhua not looking on it.
The battle regalia is giving a vigorous aura and fervour in battle, enhancing ones capabilities, Yinhua remembers back then when she confronts the Great Conqueror, all of his team mates have battle regalia with different types depends on their body and soul composition and talent just to ensure their proximity will be boost to fullest and aid to its best.
“Sword Arrays are the better, but Waifu is top notch” Yinhua said as she looks to Inoue with those lovely eyes, yeah even in death in her final battle with the grand Conqueror, the only thing she have in mind is “Tohka is love, Tohka is life”.
“M-master?” Inoue frowns and ask.
“Come here, I have other relic items to give for you, as your contracted master, I can’t turn blind eye for your sake” Yinhua smiles and then disperse her battle Regalia and picked a shard crystal and give it to inoue, Inoue analyze the item, it was pure white and crystallized and shown a faint light, but she can feel the power and intent of Yinhua gives off to the item.
“This?” Inoue said and thought for a moment.
“Doppelganger Stealth” Just insert your energy and it will activate, make some attacks and powerful action moves, it will copy your movements, when it full recognizes your movement to extent it will flashes and alarm you, then muttered a special chant and wallah! Instant clone of you will fight by your side and suddenly you will be ethereal and stealthy, even higher levels than you cannot grasp your presence, just to buy time to cast a powerful attack or for escape route, it is up to you” Yinhua explain and instruct as Inoue look at her seriously and listen carefully.
“This Relic will be useful and will cherish by your servant, Master, a deep thanks coming from your servant” Inoue replied and a hint of amazement can be seen in her eyes towards Yinhua.
“Your welcome, but I’m not finish yet kid!” Yinhua spoke in urgent voice and pick some items again.
“Master is that bit of,,” Inoue said as she saw Yinhua brought a bunch of talisman and amulets.
“A scout is always prepared, Inoue, this item is not enough, I want everything in touch and work well, because failures will harmed us a bit and then drag us to deep abyss if we became careless again just like before” Yinhua sermons and hand the needed talisman for Inoue, which the latter accept with generosity in her heart.
“It will be a long way for us master” Inoue answers as she smiles and look to Yinhua’s marvellous face.
“Yup it is, in this world, there is a lot of thing to discover and lot of adventures await, I hope to meet those remaining one hundred six Celestial Maidens, this will be fun and exciting!” Yinhua cheered and start to the vast mountain and forest in their front as some birds passed and dragons flew by.
“Well we are not finish yet Inoue, I must test your innate talent and soul formation to see what sword techniques is most suitable for you to practice and mastered, come on dear!” Yinhua added as she walks away from the beautiful sight and Inoue follows her.
“Master! Wait for me!” Inoue said as she starts to run and follow the trail of Yinhua.
