815 The world after death (2/2)

However, this still wasn't over. After continuing for another ten or so meters, the black light stopped in midair and then suddenly turned around, still shooting at high speed!

*Bang!*

Hoshi shot out an arrow of light that accurately hit the black light.

Mai, Hitaka, and Rana almost simultaneously shot out Mana Bullets. Natsuya cast spiritual blades, Hisashi released lightning, Shika cast ice blades, Mika cast dark blades, Kaede cast wind blades, Kaho summoned insects, and Kazuko summoned demons… Everyone attacked the black light together! They managed to forcefully stop the black light in its tracks.

The onslaught continued for quite a while.

Everyone surrounded the black light and continuously attacked it until it was completely destroyed.

Seiji heaved a sigh of relief at seeing this.

Danger had indeed occurred. However, it was excellent that his companions had managed to prevent anything bad from occurring while he was occupied with the sealing spell.

Seiji continued focusing on sealing the demonic sword.

Finally, all the demonic mist dissipated, and the sealing was completed successfully.

After Seiji stopped casting his spell, everyone saw a longsword remaining on the ground.

Seiji felt that this sword looked rather familiar. Although he wasn't one hundred percent certain, he felt that this was the sword that Shigure Tendo had used back at the Bloodwine Ritual tournament.

The next moment, the longsword became hazy as it turned gray and then gradually took a human form.

Seiji walked over.

”Shigure Tendo, wake up!”

There was no reaction.

Seiji called out again.

Still no reaction.

Seiji looked at the gray human figure on the ground for several seconds. He walked over even closer and crouched down next to the figure. Seiji then pointed and created a tiny White Lotus spirit sword which he then used to poke the figure's head.

Poke~ Poke~ Poke~

Everyone else was rendered speechless.

After countless pokes, the gray figure finally moved as its figure gradually became clearer.

However, the figure was still too hazy to clearly make out a face. Everyone could only tell that he was a boy wearing samurai attire.

He slowly sat up and looked all around him.

”…Who are you?” His voice sounded somewhat ethereal.

”Before asking who I am, you should first introduce yourself. We all saved you,” Seiji told him.

The figure fell silent for a moment.

”I am Shigure Tendo.”

As expected.

”We meet again… Although I don't know if this counts as 'meeting', Tendo-san.” Seiji paused for a moment before choosing to say his real name. ”I am Seiji Haruta.”

Although he could choose to conceal his identity, Seiji felt that it would be easier to communicate with Shigure by using his real name here.

”Seiji Haruta… -san.” Shigure looked at Seiji. ”Where is this place?”

”The world after death.” Seiji suddenly wanted to make a joke.

Shigure fell silent for a moment.

”I understand. I've already died,” he stated lightly. There was no sign of joking or resistance in his tone. It sounded like he completely accepted that he had ”died”.

”Hey, don't accept this so easily!” Seiji couldn't help but make such a comment.

”Haruta-san, are you also dead?”

”I'm not dead at all! You're not dead, either. I was just joking with you.”

Shigure: ”…”

Seeing how silent Shigure was again, Seiji suddenly felt a sense of guilt. He felt like he had just fooled someone who was too honest.

It was just clearly supposed to be a joke! Seiji supposed that Shigure was the type who would miss even such obvious jokes.

”This joke isn't funny.” Shigure was all serious.
