Kaori didn't give Taylor any time to think. In the next moment, she once again activated her unique bloodline limit, and her blurry vision altered once more, causing everything within her sight to slow down abruptly.
It was at this moment that Kaori raised the sword in her hand and single-handedly blocked all the attacks coming at her from all directions. With all her might, she swung the sword, and the blade of light blossomed like petals, enveloping the ferocious ice and snow and sweeping it in one direction. With a loud bang, the frost in that direction exploded, piercing through and creating a path.
"Go!"
There was an unprecedented sternness in Kaori's voice.
All of Taylor's chaotic thoughts were suppressed by her sister's uncharacteristically harsh tone, leaving her mind blank. By the time she snapped out of it, she realized she had already escaped the encirclement.
Behind her was a overwhelming barrage of ice and snow, and Tonra's somewhat indifferent voice.
"That's a bit much, don't you think?"
Tonra stood atop a towering icicle, glancing coldly at Kaori, who was still surrounded, but he didn't pay her any mind. Instead, he waved his ice fan, sending a barrage of ice spikes toward Taylor in an attempt to block her escape.
However, Taylor, now back to her senses, nimbly weaved and dodged through the ice spikes, quickly evading the attack and fleeing without a backward glance into the distant night, swiftly disappearing from view.
Under the pitch-black night sky, a trail of tears like a silken ribbon hung in the air.
The tears fell silently, freezing into ice crystals as they touched the ground.
"... "
Tonra's expression turned gloomy, and he took a step forward, intending to pursue Taylor.
But at that moment, Kaori let out a low shout, ignoring the attacks from the surrounding ice clones and hurling the sword in her hand toward Tonra's neck with all her might.
The Sun Wheel Sword burst forth with intense sharpness, aiming for Tonra's neck and forcing him to interrupt his pursuit of Taylor to block the attack with his ice fan.
This final obstruction caused Taylor's trail to vanish completely from his perception.
At the same time, the sternness on Kaori's face softened, and a gentle smile curved her lips. There seemed to be a lingering afterimage of Taylor in her eyes, and she exuded a hint of reluctance and hesitation.
Crack! Crack!!
More than a dozen long ice spikes impaled her body and neck from front and back.
"Taylor, you must live on..."
Kaori murmured softly.
Then she felt all the pain start to fade away, her body gradually losing sensation and all signs of life ebbing away.
Time seemed to freeze.
But.
Just as Kaori awaited death, she found herself strangely transfixed, as if the death that should have come within seconds had stretched into an eternity.
She looked around in astonishment and realized that, at some point, the world around her had come to a standstill. It was as if time had solidified, freezing everything in place—the floating ice fog, the approaching Tonra with his grim expression—all were frozen in time, like a painting.
Then.
She realized that she was floating in midair.
No, her physical body hadn't floated up; it was still impaled on the ice spikes, frozen to the ground. It seemed that only her consciousness had risen, allowing her to see her own body, pierced by the ice spikes, pinned to the frozen earth.
"Is this death?"
Kaori was perplexed.
After all, she had never experienced death, and no one who had died could leave behind a true account of what it felt like.
"You are..."
Kaori was momentarily bewildered.
Feng Ye's current form was a disguise—his black hair and slightly altered appearance made it difficult for her to recognize him instantly. But after a brief moment of confusion, she began to piece things together.
Looking at the frozen space nearby and at Feng Ye standing there quietly, countless thoughts raced through Kaori's mind. It was a long while before she asked softly, "Are you... a god?"
"You could say that, from your perspective," Feng Ye replied, raising his hand towards Kaori.
In silence, the necklace around Kaori's neck began to glow faintly before shattering. From the broken pieces emerged a strand of silver-white hair, the very same one Feng Ye had given her long ago, which she had kept close to her heart.
The silver-white strand floated gently, drifting towards Feng Ye and settling into his palm before rising again to return to its place among his hair and disappearing from view.
At the same time,
Feng Ye's black hair transformed back to its original color, a head of silver hair. His appearance shifted slightly, fully restoring his true visage.
Kanroji Mitsuri, who had been quietly following behind, stood transfixed at the sight. She had already found Feng Ye's ordinary appearance remarkably handsome, but now, with his silver hair and perfect features, coupled with his worldly aura, her heart fluttered uncontrollably.
"I know you have many questions, but let me speak first," Feng Ye said as he tucked his hair away. Looking at Kaori, he continued, "I once offered you a chance to change your fate, and now I am here to fulfill that promise.
"You can avoid this death. I will heal all your wounds and bring you to a safe place.
"You can also choose power. I will grant you immense strength, enough to kill him in an instant, even if you only have a moment left in your life.
"Or, you can forsake everything in this world from this moment on and serve by my side. In return, you will gain eternal life.
"Make your choice."
Feng Ye gazed at Kaori quietly.
The trajectory of fate was indeed powerful. Even with his significant interference in the world's destiny, Kaori had still been unable to escape. If he did not act, she would still meet her end at the hands of Tonra.
Hearing Feng Ye's words, Kaori fell silent.
The three options seemed difficult to choose from. She wanted to live and continue being by Hachi's side, but if she could kill Tonra, she would save countless lives.
As for the third option...
Eternal life was something she could attain by becoming a ghost, so it wasn't a strong draw. What truly made her ponder was the prospect of serving by Feng Ye's side. On the surface, it seemed disconnected from the world, but Feng Ye was akin to a god, capable of altering the course of the world with a single thought.
After a moment of contemplation, Kaori did not voice her choice but instead asked softly, "May I ask how you view this world?"
