Reincarnated as a Mosquito, the School Beauty I Sucked to Tears is a Reborn Empress

Inside the Beast Fighting Arena, the already dim sky had now turned completely dark.

It wasn’t because night had fallen, but because the sky was so densely packed with black blade-shadows that they blotted out the light.

A piercing slicing sound filled every inch of space—the mournful cry of air being torn asunder.

On the edge of the arena, the expressions of Shen Yixuan and the others turned grim.

Even though they had retreated to the farthest corner of the Energy Shield and had combined their strength to erect a defensive barrier, they could still feel an all-pervasive, sharp aura relentlessly slicing at their shield.

CRACKLE, CRACKLE.

Sparks continuously erupted from their barrier!

The aftershocks alone were this powerful!

Shen Yixuan was horrified.

’This is a Sword Domain? And it’s just a Pseudo-Sword Domain? It’s already this terrifying!’

’Then the pressure Gu Yuexi is enduring at the heart of the storm... just how terrifying must it be?!’

”Brother Lin, if only you were here.”

”I hope Sister Gu can hold on!”

...

「In the eye of the storm.」

Yamamoto Ichimoku watched the white-clad young woman across from him, who merely held her sword hilt, yet hesitated to draw the blade. The corner of his mouth curved into an arc of extreme confidence—one might even call it disdain.

At this very moment, within a hundred-meter radius, he was the absolute master.

Every wisp of wind, every speck of dust, was his sword.

Gu Yuexi was strong, but he was stronger!

His gaze fell upon the sheathed longsword in Gu Yuexi’s hand. It looked plain, even ancient, and his disdain only deepened.

’A sword?’

’You think you’re worthy of using a sword before the Divine Dao School?’

The divine light in Yamamoto Ichimoku’s eyes suddenly focused. The hand gripping his Black Blade tensed with force!

”Divine Dao Secret Technique: Dark Realm Slash!”

ZING—!!!

With one last, clear ring, the Black Blade in his hand was completely unsheathed!

In that instant, the entire Pseudo-Sword Domain seemed to come alive.

The blade-shadows, which had been drifting aimlessly, were like soldiers hearing their general’s command. They instantly turned their sharp edges and converged into a black torrent of steel, sweeping toward Gu Yuexi with a terrifying power that could annihilate everything in its path!

Unavoidable!

Unblockable!

It was a checkmate—a single, fatal blow!

Just at this critical moment, Gu Yuexi, who had been standing perfectly still, finally moved.

Her movements were slow, so slow they seemed almost eerie.

Her right hand gripped the seemingly ordinary hilt so tightly that blue veins bulged on the back of her jade-like hand from the sheer force.

It was as if she weren’t holding a sword, but a colossal mountain.

Finally!

An extremely faint sound, like a scraping from the nine heavens, was heard.

The Ancient Sword had loosened.

ZING~!

The blade... was drawn by a sliver.

Just a sliver.

About two centimeters.

BOOM—!!!

The very instant those two centimeters of the blade were exposed to the air, a snow-white sword light, impossible to describe with words, suddenly erupted in the center of the Beast Fighting Arena!

This light was too bright! Too pure!

It was like the first ray of light at the dawn of creation, carrying with it a supreme will to purify all and sever all!

Black blade-shadows?

A Pseudo-Sword Domain?

Before this snow-white sword light, they were like leftover snow under a scorching sun. Without even a chance to resist, they instantly melted away!

The once-roaring black storm vanished completely in that single moment.

Not only that.

After annihilating all the blade-shadows, the sword light did not stop. It carried its remaining power and slammed viciously into the surrounding Energy Shield!

VMMMMMM!!!

The shield, which was said to be able to withstand a full-force attack from a Peak of Eighth-Grade expert, began to vibrate violently, like a pane of glass that had suffered a heavy blow!

CRACK! CRACK!

A web of shocking cracks instantly spread across the entire hemispherical shield!

”This is bad!!!”

High in the air, Chief Referee Pierce’s expression changed drastically.

With no time to think, he frantically formed hand seals, pouring the immense Energy from his body into the core of the Array to stabilize the shield, which was on the verge of shattering.

...

「Inside the arena.」

The light faded.

Gu Yuexi still stood in the same spot, maintaining her grip on the sword.

She had already pushed the Ancient Sword back into its Sword Scabbard, as if it had never been drawn at all.

And across from her.
