Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Red Line of Fate

The sky is cracking, the sun and the moon are dark!

The pitch-black torrent and the dancing storm shattered all obstacles and cut everything in front of them.

- In an instant, the earth cracked.

The Wild Dance of Destruction swept everything in its path with an unstoppable momentum, and in the frenzy that swept through the heavens and the earth, everything was shattered and disintegrated.

Even the gray and hazy sky seemed to be split.

The Times Tree and the entire area of the nearby Forest of No Return could not be spared, and in an instant, it was swept into it by the torrent storm, and the towering giant tree collapsed, and everything cracked in an instant!

Spatial distortions, atmospheric upstreams, and winds swept everything into the vortex of nothingness, vanishing completely.

While the "main target" that bears the brunt of the most terrible damage endures, there are others who are struggling in the frenzy of destruction, desperately trying to survive.

Even if they were only on the brink of a frenzy, and the aftermath of destruction was slightly affected, it was deadly enoughβ€”

"Kagome! Hold on to meβ€”β€”!! Million! Don't let goβ€”β€”!! ”

The demon slayer girl Coral shouted hoarsely in the storm, her body covered in bruises, her single ponytail scattered, and her long hair dancing wildly in the terrifying wind.

The same is true of the gigantic two-tailed cat mica, which also has multiple injuries on its body, large and small, light or severe.

Because it was also dominated and controlled before, it had to stage a cannibalistic scene with Sango, and the injuries on both sides were basically caused by the other party.

But fortunately, in the end, it broke free from the strange magic power that dominated and controlled it in time, and returned to Coral's side-

It didn't progress to the point where one had to die, or both.

At this moment, it was carrying a few people on its back, frantically looking for a gap to escape from the fierce wind pressure, but the flames wrapped around its four legs and tail had been blown to the point of extinguishing.

The fierce hurricane suppressed the invisible barrier formed by the demonic power of the mica, mercilessly striking it and everyone on its back.

It feels like it's going against the tide in the storm, flying forward, but it seems that no matter how long it flies, it's always a torrent of black pressure all around, whistling past from up and down, left and right.

I don't know how far it flew, or if it didn't fly out at all, but it was blown upside down by the wind.

But there is no way to do it, if they don't persist like this, they will all be swept into the wind, and they will be taken to the center of the frenzy of destruction, and they will end up in pieces......

"Don't let go! Kagome β€”β€”!! Don't let go! Gotta hold on to meβ€”β€”!! ”

Although it was already difficult to maintain the stability of his body, Coral was so anxious that he turned around and screamed as hard as he could after noticing that the strength of the girl's grasp behind him had weakened significantly.

Although Sunset Kagome was behind her, she herself at this time, except for the whistling wind, she couldn't hear her own voice clearly. If you don't scream with all your might, you won't know the bottom of your heart at all.

"I ...... I know...... But Inuyasha he ...... I can't help itβ€”β€”!! ”

The sailor girl in the sailor suit, who was clinging to Inuyasha's body, could barely grasp the coral with one hand.

Behind the gigantic mica, the two of them have the feeling that they are going to be thrown out by the wind at any time, maybe not what it is, but what is about to happen.

But she wouldn't let go, Inuyasha just lost consciousness, and the arrow narrowly missed his heart......

The half-demon boy still had a faint heartbeat and breathing, and he was not dead.

This is not only the best news for Sunset Kagome, who is almost in despair to the point of collapse, but also the last ray of light in her heart that is almost sinking into darkness, and the last straw to grasp.

If she really can't hold on and wants to fall, Sunset Kagome would rather hug Inuyasha and die than let go.

"Shippo! Use your Variation! Hurry upβ€”β€”!! ”

Sango's reaction was swift, and after a moment's thought, he shouted again.

"Huh? Oooooooooo

The little fox demon Qibao finally came back to his senses in this terrible natural disaster that made him tremble and tremble.

"Ming, understood! Look at me......"

He breathed deeply, cheered himself up and shouted loudly, but the decibel was not high, and the voice was directly swept away by the wind, and no one heard it.

Then, in a cloud of smoke, the little monster, which was not yet knee-high, turned itself into a rope and automatically wrapped itself around the three people on Mica's back.

Several people are tied together with the gigantic two-tailed cat, which plays a role in fixation and stability.

Sunset Kagome suddenly felt a long sigh of relief, but she still hugged Inuyasha tightly, refusing to let go.

At this moment, in the midst of the overwhelming aura of destruction that permeated the surroundings, she sensed a familiar and distinctive aura of spiritual power rapidly approaching.

She subconsciously looked up to the left side in front of her, only to see a bright spiritual light flying through the air.

This is not a demon-breaking arrow, but an arrow of purification, although there is no way to purify the terrifying natural disaster-like storm torrent at this moment, but the aura of destruction where it passes is swept away.

Basically, the Purification Arrow cut through the sky, and the path it flew through was equivalent to clearing a temporarily safe path.

Kikyo? Why...... Is she helping us?

Watching the arrow pass by her, Sunset Kagome's mind couldn't turn for a while, but Coral had already made a very decisive choice-

"Mica! It's now!! ”

In fact, there is no need for her to say, mica also knows that it is struggling to drum up its demonic power, and the flames on its four legs and tail suddenly rise high, turning the direction and driving full power-

Just rush towards the high-speed safe green channel that will only open for a short time!

It's just that they are going upriver along the trajectory of the arrow, so in the end, they will naturally return to the position where the arrow was originally fired.

The moment they broke away from the huge storm and rushed out of the edge, everyone felt that the depression, pressure, and so on were swept away.

On the top of the mountain in front of her, Kikyo stood quietly on the edge of the cliff, letting the strong wind blow her long hair, and her eyes watched the rapidly approaching group with no waves.

Sure enough, it's a bellflower!

What does she want to do? It's for ...... Inuyasha?

Sunset Kagome only felt as if her heart was being clutched all of a sudden, and she felt like she couldn't breathe, and she knew that she was worried about what might happen next, which is why she was so repulsed and afraid.

She even had the urge to stop the coral, and then desperately let the mica fly away from here, far away, never to meet the witch on the cliff below.

But impulses were just impulses, and reason eventually stopped her from doing so, and that was unrealistic.

- After all, it would be very difficult for the bruised mica to be able to rush out with them, whether it was its injury or Inuyasha's injury, it needed to be treated properly in time.

What's more, Master Maitreya's whereabouts are unknown, and with the use of some enchantments in the Wind Cave, he may not be in a big problem, as long as he is not near the giant tree, he is directly hit and taken away by the terrifying destructive power......

But that was not the reason why he and the others left him directly and left this place far away in the first place.

Soβ€”

The girl in the sailor suit just subconsciously hugged the half-demon boy in her arms, clasped her hands tightly, and pressed harder, as if she was worried that the other party might be taken away at any time and no longer belonged to herself.

It's getting closer.

Sunset Kagome couldn't tell what she was thinking at this time, as if the terrible movements behind her had become an inconsequential backdrop at this time.

She just stared straight at the shrine maiden in front of her, and subconsciously bit her lower lip gently.

However, Kikyo just stood there quietly, her gaze was calm, no sorrow, no joy, no waves.

Seeing this scene, Sunset Kagome was slightly stunned, the situation seemed to be different from what she expected...... The shrine maiden on the other side seems to be too calm and natural, right?

Is this really a "monster with grudges" as the old ghost woman said? "The soul stays forever in the moment before death"?

Until the mica landed safely on the mountain, Coral held on to her injuries and took a defensive stance, and Sunset Kagome and Kitsune Nanapo carefully lifted Inuyasha down and placed them on a flat spot......

Kikyo didn't make any moves, and didn't even look back.

"I have one thing...... she just lowered her eyes slowly, and whispered without looking back, "I want to ask for a little advice......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"What's the matter?" Sunset Kagome stood up and asked calmly, thinking that Kikyo was actually talking to her.

After all, now that Inuyasha is unconscious and unconscious, it is certainly impossible for Coral and Shippo to have anything to do with her...... The answer is self-explanatory.

But what exactly is Kikyo trying to say?

Sunset Kagome has no confidence at all, because of her own identity, everything she has, she inexplicably feels as if she is a thief, everything is stolen from the witch in front of her......

Their own looks, their own strength, their own souls...... She couldn't help but glance at the unconscious, unconscious Inuyasha next to her.

Turning his head slightly, Kikyo's eyes were as calm as water, and he quietly met the eyes of the girl in the sailor suit:

"About that incident fifty years ago...... The truth. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Her eyes twitched slightly, her eyes visibly wavering, and Sunset Kagome realized that what she feared most had happened.

Kikyo doesn't know the truth about fifty years ago, which is why he resents Inuyasha...... So what is she going to seek that truth for now?

Did she perceive something? And what will she do after knowing that truth? Will you continue to resent Inuyasha? Or is it ......

Sunset Kagome couldn't continue to deceive herself, she had been encouraging Inuyasha to tell Kikyo the truth, and she herself felt that if she explained the misunderstanding, everything would be fine.

However, even Kikyo will become a porcelain shrine maiden whose soul is full of resentment and hatred......

Sunset Kagome is naturally even more unlikely to be the real reincarnation of the Virgin Mary, only for others, not for herself.

What was going on in her heart? Does she really hope that the misunderstanding between Kikyo and Inuyasha will be solved and that she will return to the same relationship she had fifty years ago?

In the past, every time she said this, she never doubted that she really thought so, because at that time nothing happened, she was just moved by herself.

At that time, she probably felt that she was filled with some kind of gentle divinity, completing the redemption of herself and others.

But now, that possibility of not happening is about to become a reality.

Sunset Kagome realizes that she actually rejects the possibility she said earlier, and she doesn't want to see Inuyasha and Kikyo revert to the relationship they had had fifty years ago......

Even if it's just possible.

It's about seeing through the wavering and hidden fear on the girl's face.,Kikyo seems to want to show a smile.,But in the end it didn't succeed-

"Don't worry...... Once the red thread of fate is broken, it will never be connected again. ”
