Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 71

Chapter 71 Demon Maiden Spirit Power

“Demon Sword Maiden?” Lily was startled upon hearing that. 

She looked at the vibrating Seiwa Tamashi with red, sparkling runes. It seemed it didn’t have the same righteous aura as when she bought it. Now, it had a distinguishable demon fury. 

Her chest thrust in and out, which made her breathing visible. 

Demon Sword Maiden, Lily learned of their existence when she was transmigrated to this otherworld alone. She had nothing but plain clothing and witnessed the night parade of a hundred demons the very same day. 

One who exterminated the demons and trod on the moon!

That was Lily’s first vision for the future when she came to this otherworld, her first shock! 

A human woman could also reach that intimidating level. 

Lily was no longer feeling inferior because of her gender. 

She was no longer sinking in the pain of losing her right to be a man.

Her sword flashed and reflected the moonlight like some kind of roadsign to Lily, giving her the direction in this dark world, showing her the way to survive. 

She was an aloof existence that Lily could never touch, one that she could only admire in a far distance! 

Lily studied her slender, porcelain hands. Her slim fingers looked weak. Cocking her head to observe her plump breasts, they were full of womanly charm but also needed to be cherished. 

This body was beautiful, soft, and white; and it could be the one that topped the night, slashing ghosts and monsters, fighting to her heart’s content? 

Am I really like Uesugi Rei, the one I consider my Valkyrie? 

*Am I… a Demon Sword Maiden? Is it true?*

*Really?*

Lily’s eyelids shivered. If it were true and not the random babble of that female ninja due to the aphrodisiac, could the chance of awakening senior sister be one step closer?

*If one day I could be like that invincible Uesugi Rei, I could travel around the world to find a way to wake up my senior sister, couldn’t I?!*

*Do I have such potential?* 

At this moment, as if to prove Shiu’s words before she fainted, the Sakura Parasol in the corner of the yard suddenly got up. She flew up, spinning excitedly, calling Lily. “I- I remember! Master, I remember!” 

Lily was startled, asking a little grumpily. “Remember what? Aren’t you so high right now?” 

“Master, don’t scoff me. Listen to me. The beautiful vivid red spirit power from your body isn’t demon fury. It’s the spirit power with Demon Maiden’s attribute! Among so many spirit powers with attributes, it’s an extremely high-quality one! As you can make the secret scripture and runes visible on the sword, it’s the outstanding power of Demon Sword Maiden! And only the Demon Sword Maiden can do that!” 

“Master! That female ninja didn’t just talk in her insanity. You’re actually that Demon Sword Maiden in the legend! I’m sorry, I, my memory is so chaotic I couldn’t remember that. I just got it from what the female ninja said!” 

Lily looked at the Sakura Parasol. Although her eyes were as calm as water, waves were surging and rolling in her heart. “I’m sorry, Sakura, you’ve given a large amount of information in just a short moment. You were talking about attribute? The spirit power with an attribute?” 

“Master, it’s the soul with the attributes to be exact. The natural attributes of souls will determine the spirit power’s attributes of the creatures. However, among the people who cultivate spirit powers and shikigamis, the ones with the spirit power attributes are all natural-born experts with inborn advantages! For example, there are Lightning Soul, Ice Soul, Fiery Soul, etc. Those natural attributes are so formidable already. However, Demon Maiden attribute got the most overwhelming demon fury. It’s the combination between right and wrong, innocence and elegance! It’s both evil and good, innocent and alluring. I’m not bragging. It’s an attribute that is both rare and powerful!” The Sakura Parasol jumped, twittering. 

“Can’t believe my Master is a Demon Sword Maiden… Then after a while, there would be some possibility to take revenge for my former master…” 

“Sakura, is Demon Sword Maiden that formidable?” 

“Master… It’s a long story to tell. With only what I’ve remembered recently, it’s enough for me to talk half a day long. Anyway, should we solve this event first? We can take time and talk about the Demon Sword Maiden’s secrets later. Is it okay?” reminded Sakura. 

Lily looked at the fair-skinned female ninja on the ground. Her mask had been blown away. At this moment, to Lily, she didn’t have many secrets left. 

“Sakura, go check grannie’s situation,” Lily turned and looked at the small, tattered house deep in the corner of the courtyard. It was the storage room where they kept wooden logs in Chrysanthemum In. She continued, “Then, come and meet me in the log storage house. Do you still have enough spirit power?” 

“Master, don’t worry. It’s just a short journey. No problem,” Sakura replied then turned and flew toward the corridor of Chrysanthemum Inn. 

*I wonder if grannie was alright.*

Lily was worried but she must solve this incident in a hurry. It would be bad if the female ninja woke up, even though she wasn’t strong, she was an annoying opponent indeed. 

Lily walked forward, lifting Shiu. With her strength, it was as easy as flipping her hands. 

Lily brought Shiu to the log storage. She lit up the lamp and closed the door. Then, she found some rope in the storage and attempted to tie Shiu up. 

However, although Lily had mastered her fighting skills, for the time being, she didn’t know how to tie this girl. 

She didn’t know how to do that. Tying someone up and interrogate them, she wasn’t born with these talents. 

She didn’t know why at this moment, that female samurai Uesugi Rei, with her fluttering silver hair, emerged in her brain. If it were her, perhaps she would be good at it… 

“What! What are you thinking about!” Lily blamed herself, trying to sweep that thought away. 

“First, I have to solve this first!” 

“Hmph! If Uesugi Rei can do that. Why can’t I?” 

Lily made up her mind, and her confidence rose. She just needed to do that and it would flow naturally. She just needed to figure it out a little bit at a time and she would be able to do it.

Lily took a lot of time and efforts until she worked up a sweat. It was really harder and more strength-consuming than the previous battle. Eventually, she had tied Shiu entirely in a complicated and tight way. Then, she hurled the other end of the rope over the beam of the wood storage and hang her up. 

“Hmph, how dare you tried to assassinate me. If you weren’t a woman, I would have killed you already! Today, not only will I make you tell me what you know, but I will also teach you a lesson!” said Lily. 

Right at this moment, Shiu slowly woke up. 

"Er? W- where am I?” Shiu struggled. But as her body was suspended in the air, her struggling made her spin around.  

Lily walked to her front, lifted her chin, and said, “Spit it out. Who are you? What’s your name? How much you’d received from Daidouji to assassinate me?” 

Shiu’s clear eyes opened wide. “H- how come you know the name of our client! Let, let me go. I, Shiu will tell you nothing!”
