……
Just after making a wish with Yoriichi, Zheng Chenggong saw the Servants about to disappear.
But Kenshin, with an expression of sudden realization, drew another sword from his waist.
"Lord Hishimura, what is this?"
"So that's how it is? A natural tooth."
Unable to answer Zheng Chenggong's questions in time, Kenshin looked at Iori, who had fallen to the ground.
The image that "bewitched" appeared in his eyes.
The god promised that if he survived the war again and returned to his original world, the seal on the Tenseiga would be broken.
And now, it seems we are already in that pre-construction phase.
Therefore, he has come to understand the true power of the Natural Tooth.
If wielded by a compassionate user, a mere swing of the blade can save hundreds of lives!
"Wow!"
Before he disappeared completely, he began to dance.
Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Xue, Takao Tayu, and Yoriichi then saw the white light, as bright as the moon, flashing.
An invisible wave emanated from Kenshin and spread outwards throughout Yoshiwara.
"This is?!"
"This is incredible! That knife actually has such power?"
"Is it a knife to save lives, not a weapon to kill?"
"interesting!"
Compared to Zheng Chenggong and his group on the ground, who were still unaware of what had happened.
The group of people watching from the void all understood the reason.
"Hahaha, that's amazing, Himura-kun."
Musashi laughed heartily, never expecting to witness such an astonishing scene.
A knife that can save a dead person's life is quite an eye-opener.
"To live on? That is indeed a treasure that suits you very well."
"Compassion not only for oneself, but also for others."
Kojiro, recalling his formidable rival's performance, also felt great admiration.
Although they did not have the same relentless pursuit of swordsmanship, they possessed a mindset that transcended others.
To maintain such a mentality after engaging in bloodshed in chaotic times requires an exceptionally firm and strong inner strength.
"tsk"
As if he had thought of something, Zoro crossed his arms and looked somewhat dissatisfied.
It's a real shame that we didn't get to fight this guy even once during this war.
That sword, called Tenseiga, was more precious than any Supreme Grade Sword.
After all, there are countless knives that can kill, but a knife that can save a life is a rare treasure.
"."
Kirito frowned, deep in thought.
Although he couldn't last until the end, he had gained some insights.
His gaze fell on Kenshin's raised Tenseiga, as if he wanted to remember that feeling forever.
"Oh, it seems it's time to go."
I don't know if we'll ever meet again.
Musashi's voice rang in their ears, and Kojiro, Zoro, and Kirito turned to look at her.
"Having devoted all our cultivation, we will surely meet again on a similar battlefield."
"Haha, that's true."
"Hmph, next time I'll be even stronger! The world's greatest swordsman seems to be just a stepping stone now. I will become the strongest swordsman in all the worlds!"
"That's a grand ambition, then let's look forward to it."
"Kirito, you're so cold. Aren't you going to say anything?"
Compared to Kojiro and Zoro's responses, Musashi teased Kirito, who remained silent.
"Sigh, even if we had to do it all over again, I would have no confidence to compete with you in swordsmanship."
"However, it's not necessarily the case in other aspects."
With a sigh, Kirito could only respond helplessly.
"It's okay, it's okay."
"Anyway, there's no rule that swordsmen have to settle their battles with swords, right, Kojiro?"
"Can you please stop instilling such awkward ideas in others? This young man has great potential."
"Hmph, a swordsman is meaningless without a sword."
Kojiro and Zoro were speechless in the face of Musashi's seemingly "cheating" words.
"Hehe, see you next time!"
"Bye-Bye."
Compared to the farewell in the void, Masayuki accepted the real sword that Kenshin threw to her.
"Lord Hisamura, what is this?"
"Give it to Iori when he wakes up; it's a farewell gift for a friend."
"Wait, why?"
Looking at the blade in her hand, Zhengxue didn't understand his actions.
"rest assured."
"It is precisely because Iori has died once that she can understand."
As he spoke slowly, his body gradually turned into specks of light and disappeared, Kenshin explained.
He also understood the purpose behind the natural tooth.
In that state, Iori can only be stopped with a real sword.
Only by truly killing the other party can one freeze that increasingly "obsessive" mindset.
They need to understand that swords are not only for fighting and killing.
Kenshin chose to give the real sword because he trusted Iori.
The thoughts and words one comprehensibles before death are never false.
Now that the Tenseiga has been unsealed, Kenshin no longer needs a real sword.
His mission here is over.
…………
Holding the knife in my hand, I could feel its weight, even though it wasn't very heavy.
"Xiangye, did you bring any rice balls? I'm a little hungry."
"Oh, I actually did prepare some, but I didn't expect my brother to bring up eating first. He usually talks about fasting or something like that."
"That's all in the past. Besides, I've grown up to some extent."
"Haha, it seems Kenshin-san is still keeping a close eye on his brother."
Seeing the two siblings having a good time, Hongyu Zhishu smiled.
Although I was a little worried at first, it seems that the result is very good.
But then it sensed a fluctuation of magical power.
"This is?!"
Upon seeing the red bruise on Iori's right hand, it exclaimed in surprise.
"Varied"
Even Iori herself was taken aback.
……
"Are you leaving?"
"Ah, I have already possessed the power to save the country. My wish has been fulfilled, and it is time for me to say goodbye."
"Although the time we spent together was short, I still appreciate your assistance."
