Chapter 24
The whole team went out to attack and held their ground.
The Saniwa's half-closed eyes gleamed faintly. She opened her hands, and spiritual energy flew out from her small hands like fireflies, scattering everywhere, some of which left with the teleportation array.
Imaizumi and Kasen Kanesada headed to the space where Mori Ougai was, and the space, which was only faintly lit by moonlight, suddenly lit up.
I was attacked face-to-face as soon as I arrived.
"Take this!"
Jin Jian reacted swiftly, dodging the enemy's blade and precisely stabbing the back of the blade with his short sword. He then kicked it away and attacked the next target.
Having just arrived at the new battlefield, his powerful reconnaissance skills allowed him to navigate with ease. The bouncy little tengu wore a confident smile, and Imaizumi leaped into the air, his long silver-gray hair fluttering with the movement.
Haha~ I'm up there~
As they landed, the short sword in their hands pierced the vitals, and amidst playful words, the Time Traveler fell to the ground and vanished.
Kasen Kanesada's sword tip gleamed coldly, its smooth blade cutting through the air. The sound of weapons clashing rang out, and with a clever move, the enemy's sword that was fighting against him was instantly cleaved in two.
He glanced at Sen Ou and Alice, who were included in the mission, and the elegant Wen Xidao solemnly instructed, "Please be careful."
Senou had some minor wounds on his body. Alice had been protecting him ever since the two Tsukumogami arrived. With a wave of her arm, a small syringe appeared in front of her and flew towards the Time Retrograde Army beside her the next second.
"Thank you both for your help." Sen Ou concealed the darkness in his eyes and smiled.
Alice's expression brightened, and she clenched her fists: "Hmph! Rintaro is just too weak!"
Mori Ōgai wore a pitiful expression: "Eh? Alice-chan~ Please, Alice-chan, protect me, okay~"
Alice: "Okay~"
The arrogant expression vanished in the next second, the blue eyes darkened, and the giant syringe smashed the attacking Time Travel Army.
Kasen Kanesada didn't comment on the strange conversation between the two. Seeing that his reminder had been taken to heart, he focused more on the battlefield. He waved his sword, and the energetic figure of Imaizumi came into view. He smiled.
"I possess the unwavering resolve of a refined scholar; I absolutely cannot lose to someone skilled in martial arts."
With a resolute gaze, his movements were both elegant and ruthless, and even though he called himself a refined person, he still possessed the sharpness of a sword in his bones.
—
Sayo Samonji shielded Dazai Osamu behind him, his short sword carrying a large straw hat and wearing a blue kasaya, his sharp eyes warily scanning the surroundings.
As soon as he and Soza Samonji passed through the teleportation array, they saw Dazai Osamu, who was already injured but still fighting against the Time Retrograde Army. The spiritual energy points that had followed him quickly stuck to him, and the light healed the bleeding wounds.
Thus, Sayo Samonji, the short sword used for protection, took on the task of protection. Even with its speed limited, the short sword, which was originally known for its speed, was still a powerful weapon for protection.
Soza Samonji also shouldered the heavy responsibility of suppressing the enemy.
The points of light danced, guiding the location of each enemy blade.
"It's crystal clear."
In battle, Soza Samonji's aura became even sharper; with a flick of his slender wrist, debris felled to the ground. As if reciting a poem, he said:
"It is what my master expects, and I will bring back victory!"
As he turned, more blood splattered, the crimson staining Zong San's face. His heterochromatic eyes seemed to burn, and his movements became even sharper.
Melancholy swords are also sharp blades unsheathed.
The will to fight is growing stronger.
Even with his protective duties, Sayo Samonji did not lose his offensive power. He pierced the head of another Time Traveler, the blood staining the knife in his hand and his body also getting some glaring red stains.
Dazai Osamu leaned quietly against the wall. When he sensed something was wrong, he left the narrow and unsuitable corridor and successfully reached a more spacious area in the final moments before the isolation space centered on him was formed.
Dots of spiritual energy floated up and down around him, the heavy black coat pressing down on his thin body, and the blood-stained bandages giving him a sense of brokenness.
Dazai Osamu's eyes were dark, his expression indifferent as he quietly observed everything before him. Lost in thought, he gave a faint smile and murmured, "Guardian deities and all that..."
The sound was so soft it dissipated in the next second. Xiaoye Zuowenzi pursed his lips, glanced at him, but seemed not to have heard anything. His expression was serious, and he gripped the main body tightly in his hand, not daring to relax for a moment.

Yagen Toushirou and Yamanbagiri Kunihiro had no worries about protection. After glancing at Nakahara Chuuya, who was now showing off his skills in the bright light, Yagen Toushirou keenly spotted the enemy's short sword hidden in a blind spot.
"Found it! Found it! Charge!"
Yagen Toushirou's swift maneuverability and keen reconnaissance make him invincible in the darkness, and with the aid of the Saniwa's spiritual power, he is even more formidable.
Compared to the powerful strikes of Yamanbagiri Kunihiro and Nakahara Chuuya, he excels at piercing and surprise attacks.
"Hey!"
Amidst the flashing blades and bloodshed, a small figure slashed through the air, the glint of the blade appearing even colder in the moonlight.
"Not bad!" Chuuya Nakahara exclaimed, watching Yamanbagiri Kunihiro quickly finish off another large Time Traveler.
Yamanbagiri Kunihiro tugged at the blanket above his head with one hand, then stepped forward with the other to meet the enemy's blade. The katana, which usually seemed extremely insecure, now had sharp, piercing eyes.
"No, praise me!"
"cut!"
Yagen Toushirou turned around: "Well done, Lord Yamanbagiri, let's go all out!"
Yamanbagiri Kunihiro's blond hair was blown by the airflow: "If you're looked down upon, I won't let you get away with it!"
Chuuya Nakahara, radiating an aura of supernatural power, his blue eyes brimming with arrogance, echoed, "Of course."
A cool night breeze blew by, causing his slightly longer ochre hair to sway gently in the wind.
Blades flashed, fists swung, and gusts of wind blew incessantly, while the silvery moonlight shone down, illuminating their eyes filled with fighting spirit.
Under the cover of darkness, the winter tree's spiritual power surged forth, as deep and unfathomable as the ocean.
Healing, guidance, teleportation, shields...
She used all her knowledge to its fullest potential, the sword curtain hovering in front of her, and she had a clear understanding of the states of the tsukumogami.
An invisible contract forms a bridge connecting them, allowing the transfer of spiritual energy; without a spirit, one would be severely injured.
Her fingers brushed across the sword curtain, and the sight of the Five Tigers Retreat, who had completely recovered from their severe injuries, brought her some peace of mind. Her body was filled with rich spiritual energy, and every strand of it had its purpose.
Before the Time Retrograde Army could block more space, she quickly interfered with it, and the Time Retrograde Army teleportation points that appeared in the divided space were also temporarily sealed by Fuyuki. Those were essentially just teleportation arrays, and she could still temporarily seal them at the moment.
The tsukumogami sent to protect the pillars of the isolated army are sufficient to deal with the time-traveling army that has already appeared.
During this time, they did not slack off. Even though they belonged to the derivative branch, they could still go out into the original world, since the original world was the main body they protected for history.
As for the massive teleportation point in the sky, it's a vortex formed by breaking through the barriers between worlds, which even Fuyuki can't fill temporarily, as it's beyond her current reach.
"Die—!" Kashuu Kiyomitsu rushed over at lightning speed, his cold blade flashing as the Time Retrograde Army, which had attempted to attack the Saniwa, instantly turned into black mist and vanished.
"Master, please be careful." Yamato no Kami Yasusada filled in the gap, working in perfect harmony with him, almost like the left and right hands.
“I understand.” Dongshu nodded. She left the place where the Time Travel Army had begun to gather and searched for a new safe place.
Her hands, hanging down, gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, trying to suppress the strange sensation in her body.
"Ding-ding-ding-" The familiar ringtone sounded, and I took out my portable terminal. As soon as I opened it, a message from the current affairs department popped up.
Her previous message received a response, and the task changed.
Mission Description: Repel the Time Travel Army! Protect the pillars of the world! Protect yourselves!
Coordinates: Wenoyeo World
Time: x× days
Recipient: 197 Honmaru Saniwa [Fuyuki]
Received status: Please complete this step!
This time, she had no choice.
A message was attached at the end.
[Communication with the consciousness of the Bungo World has been completed. A Saniwa will be dispatched to provide assistance. In this emergency, please prioritize your own safety!]
The light from the terminal illuminated Dongshu's dark eyes, and she gripped the terminal tightly.
Now, all we need to do is persevere.
