Chapter 1731 Connected Soul I
Yumeko called out to the flame, but she was not getting answered. The rebels were also mocking her thinking that she became crazy due to the situation. The rebels were about to grab Yumeko when the flame suddenly lit up the whole shrine which made them fearful.
The rebels backed off, but they soon came forward when the flame reduced in size. The rebels thought that the flames were not really anything and it just spread out due to the messy altar. The rebels were now confident that they will complete their mission as their target suddenly stopped moving.
Yumeko saw the flame suddenly bursting out which did not scare her. The flames suddenly called out to her as if replying to her most desperate plea. She heard the voice in the flames that they have been venerating for a long time.
"Child, If I help you… will you keep me burning?" The flame stated.
"If you defeat all the bad people then I will make sure that you will burn always and even brighter." Yumeko stated.
"I will need your life force to complete such a request my child. I need to keep burning in order for the other parts of me to gather. I must be gathered. Do you accept my trade, child?" The flame stated.
"I accept!" Yumeko answered without any thought as she could see that her attendants were dying in front of her and that her house is starting to be destroyed.
"This is our agreement. When the time comes, you shall be my agent in order to send a message to the one that collects the part of me. Do not regret your decision, child." The flame stated as it suddenly fused with Yumeko.
The rebels came close to Yumeko and managed to grab her by the shoulders. The rebel that grabbed her thought that he could take her away, but he noticed that the small child that was about five years old will not budge. He tried lifting Yumeko away with all his strength, but he could not do so.
"What are you doing?! Get her and we can now escape while the house god has yet to notice." The other rebel stated.
"I cannot pick her up. She became so heavy all of a sudden that I cannot move her." The rebel rebuked.
The rebels thought that their member was joking but they also tried yanking Yumeko away. The rebels were not able to move Yumeko even an inch as if she was stuck to the floor. The rebels are now forced to do the second option since they could not move the child.
"Kill her. We have no choice as we were told that we should kill her if we cannot take her away." The rebel stated as the groaning attendants heard what the former said.
"Young…lady!" The attendant tried to force herself to stand up, but she could not do so as she was losing consciousness.
The rebels looked at each other as they were told that the perfect situation was taking the girl, but they could not. They would be punished but they should kill the girl or else they would be the ones killed if not. They would be punished either way, but they still want to live. The rebel brandished his sword and aimed for Yumeko's neck.
"No! The attendant screamed as she used the last of her strength to throw the dagger towards the rebel aiming for Yumeko.
Ting!
The rebel managed to block the dagger and the other rebels kicked the attendant away which made her lose more blood. The rebels then turned back to Yumeko only to find her being surrounded by the bluish-purple flame. The rebel afraid of this situation aimed for her neck immediately but his whole body suddenly froze on the spot.
"What are you doing?! Kill the girl!" The other rebels stated but they noticed that their member did not move the whole time as if he was frozen in time.
"To think that adults such as yourselves would dare harm an innocent and beautiful child." Yumeko stated but her voice was layered with the voice of a man.
Yumeko turned towards the rebels as she was still surrounded by the flame aura. The rebels are scared when they saw Yumeko because she had horns on her head. Her face suddenly manifested a darker purple flame as a mask of a demon appeared.
"Oni!" The rebels shouted as they seemed afraid and charged towards Yumeko to kill her off.
"Oni? Such disgrace that you do not know what I am but what can I expect from low lives." Yumeko stated as she froze time in the entire area.
The rebels can now see what their comrade is afflicted with. He could not move his entire body due to the fact that they are frozen in time. Yumeko then casted a spell towards the attendants as their bodies suddenly started to revert back to a state where they are not injured but they were still unconscious.
"It seems that this is only the best that I could do to them, but they are still alive. They are needed in order to care for the child." Yumeko stated.
"As for all of you… You shall not be spared." Yumeko added.
Small dark orbs suddenly appeared in front of every rebel that had their time frozen. Yumeko made a fist and the small dark orbs suddenly sucked in the bodies of the rebels. They could not even scream in pain as all of their bodies were crushed under the pressure of the small dark orbs that were actually condensed black holes.
"I am now done with the trash but the enemies outside are not easy to defeat even with the warriors of this house. I shall use my last power to turn the tides of battle." Yumeko stated as she created an orb where numerous gears turned.
Yumeko then made the orb expand and it produced an incredible effect. All the enemies were suddenly frozen in time, and it did not discriminate.
