Chapter 42: The Saint, the Singer, and the Dancer?

This underground gladiatorial arena is architecturally similar to the Colosseum and, of course, not as spectacular as the Colosseum. The pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info a circular design, with the ring in the center and the outer ring being a stepped stand with layers of elevation. Since it is underground, the top is naturally capped, and no light shines in, but fortunately, there are torches on the surrounding walls.

As soon as they entered the arena, the shrine maiden sisters were drawn to the "woman" in the center of the ring, and as a result, they did not notice the anomaly on the zenith. As soon as they looked up, they would see that there were many things hanging from the ceiling, and they were the corpses of ・・・・・・ people.

The moment she saw that "woman", Yae Sakura stopped breathing, and Yae Rin's face turned even pale.

The "woman", with her eyes closed, knelt on the ground, her hands folded, like a praying saint and a singing singer, like a dancer ready to dance and like a Valkyrie ready to fight・・・・・・ provided that she ignored her appearance and the white greatsword that was inserted at her side.

She was more than twenty meters tall, wore a red tutu skirt, a red headscarf on her head, and like an ordinary woman, she wore all kinds of jewelry: earrings, necklaces, bracelets, anklets・・・・・・ but all her jewelry, the ornaments on it, were not jewels and gemstones, but the corpses of ・・・・・・ people, the earrings were hung with human corpses, the necklaces were strung with human corpses, and the bracelets and anklets also hung with human corpses・・・・・・

The white greatsword beside her was made of white bone, and the skull embedded in it told the shrine maiden sisters that it was all human bones.

Including the "woman" herself, she is also a white bone.

It's a huge, woman's skeleton, a ・・・・・・ pink skeleton in the truest sense of the word.

The moment she realized the shrine maiden, the pink skull's eyes lit up with a terrifying, flame-like red light. She turned her skull and "looked" at the shrine maiden sisters, a smile on their fleshless and bony faces.

The shrine maiden sisters didn't know how they came to this conclusion, but they were sure that the pink skeleton was actually smiling at them.

"You ・・・・・・"

The pink skull's mouth clicked up and down, making a hoarse sound.

"Are you here to see ・・・・・・ ・・・・・・ ・・・・・・ of my performance?" said the pink skull intermittently, and it was really embarrassing for her to be able to speak without an articulatory organ.

Yae Sakura looked solemn and didn't say a word, and Yae Rin shivered, her eyes full of fear. The appearance of the pink skeleton gave her goosebumps.

There was no answer from the shrine maiden sisters, and the pink skeleton made a default to them.

"I'm ・・・・・・ to show you ・・・・・・ sword dance・・・・・・ ”

With that, the pink skeleton grabbed the sword stuck in the ground and stood up. She faced the shrine maiden sisters and stabbed out with her sword.

"Be careful!!" Yae Sakura suddenly shouted, jerking Rin Yae to the side, while she herself rolled out to the other side. As soon as the two sisters dodged, a black resentment shot out and hit the ground, blowing up a small crater.

As she tumbled, Yae Sakura drew her sword.

"Hide!" she shouted to Yae Rin, and rushed towards the pink skeleton.

The scarlet skull turned a blind eye to the shrine maiden sister who rushed over, and just danced the sword on its own, each sword accompanied by black resentment. As she danced, her headscarf and red dress fluttered, and her jewelry, the corpse of a person, swayed with it, giving people a strange and terrifying beauty.

Yae Sakura dodged the black resentment of the attack, and rushed forward, light and swift, which can be described as: like a frightening dragon, graceful like a swimming dragon, quiet as a virgin, moving like a rabbit.

In a moment, Yae Sakura rushed in front of the pink skull, seized the opportunity, and slashed at the pink skull's foot with a single sword・・・・・・ height problem, she could only cut the pink skull's foot.

"Khooth!"

There was a clashing of gold and iron on the knife, and Yae Sakura was shocked to a stagger. The pink skull's body was as hard as steel.

Yae Sakura pursed her lips with a solemn expression.

The pink skeleton danced the sword on its own, but it didn't know whether it was intentional or not, and the sword went towards the Yae Sakura.

Yae Sakura flips back, dodging the pink skeleton's attacks, while also returning the knife to its sheath. She half-crouched on the ground and struck a knife drawn.

"Falling Colorful!"

Pull out the knife from the sheath, and what follows is not the sword light, not the knife qi, but countless white lines. The white lines appeared directly around the pink skull and streaked across her body, leaving scratches on her body.

These white lines are the application of ice-attribute spiritual power, which can be seen as an ice-based spell. Yae Sakura has both a talent for kendo and a talent for ice spells. Her kendo is learned from Sakura, and her ice spells are from Shira. She combined the two to create a unique Ice Sword Technique, which, although not yet fully formed, had already delved into several moves, and this one was one of them.

Falling Ying Colorful is still very useful against creatures, with both the sharp cutting ability of a knife and the frostbite effect of cold air, however, the pink skeleton does not eat these effects.

The pink skull still dances the sword, and she completely uses the ring as her personal stage. Yae Sakura couldn't find a chance for a while, so she could only wander around the pink skeleton, dodging the pink skeleton's resentful attack while emitting a cold ice knife qi to "sao disturb" the pink skeleton. I don't know if it's conceited or immersed in her own sword dance, the pink skeleton's attack is not very active, and even, Yae Sakura feels that the pink skeleton didn't take the initiative to attack her at all, just simply dancing the sword.

Yae Rin hid in the stands and had the courage to add a few auxiliary spells to Yae Sakura, but he was almost injured by the pink skull's resentment attack, and he was so frightened that he squatted on the ground and didn't dare to rise again.

Although Yae Sakura's ice sword qi is not strong, it is also somewhat damaged, and under the continuous accumulation, it actually caused a lot of damage to the pink skeleton, cutting the pink skeleton's body all over the scratches.

After the "injuries" received accumulated to a certain extent, the pink skeleton suddenly stopped. She glared at Yae Sakura, her dark eyes glistening with anger・・・・・・ real rage.

"Don't ・・・・・・ get in the way of my ・・・・・・ performance. She said angrily.

Yae Sakura suddenly raised her vigilance.

The pink skull raised its bone greatsword to the zenith.

"Backup dancers・・・・・・ what about my backup dancers?"

The next moment, countless corpses fell into the sky and landed on the ring.

・・・・・・

PS: The pink skull was inspired by the singer from "Neil Automata", and I was really shocked when I saw this scene.
