Legend Management Bureau Chapter 482

[ … words ]

“Ahhhhh!!!!”

Shiranui Asuka let out a miserable shriek. She had heard a noise in the courtyard and stepped out of curiosity to take a look, only to see Enenra severing her own head.

“Little Xiang!” Ootengu and Yamabiko also regained their mobility and rushed forward to hold Asuka back.

“Let me go! Let me go! What happened to Sister Enenra?!” Shiranui Asuka wailed loudly.

“She… she gave up…” Ootengu said with a despairing expression. “Faced with such a life of Suffering, she chose to give up and move on to better days…”

Asuka choked on her sobs, looking up at the sky and crying bitterly.

At that exact moment, two slender figures sprinted over under the moonlight.

“We made it!” Hanamizuki and Tsukimizake shouted at the same time.

“Who is it?!” Yamabiko had never seen them before and immediately adopted a cautious expression.

Hanamizuki pulled a handful of white powder from her robes and immediately tossed it into the air. Seven Threads instantly revealed their forms.

The Threads varied in thickness, and the two made a prompt decision, rushing toward the thinner Threads.

Although they managed to snip one or two, the remaining ones were completely beyond their ability to shake.

Reluctance, Lovesickness, Vicissitude, Resentment, and Circumstance were actually all as thick as a finger.

“Quickly, stop them!”

The two girls shouted. Ootengu caught on immediately, using his wings to whip up a violent gale.

Although Yamabiko had never seen a situation like this, he mimicked Ootengu, continuously flapping his wings. The whistling winds successfully slowed the Threads down.

The two dashed toward Resentment and Circumstance. It took almost every ounce of their strength to wield the Talisman-covered Scissors and sever those two Threads.

There were still three left, but the two of them were already exhausted.

“Such intense Threads…”

Ootengu froze, urgently asking, “What do we do now? Where are these Threads going?”

“They

are going to find Brother Jinjianglang…” Tsukimizake said, turning her head. “I have only seen such intense Threads in history. I never expected the feelings between the two of them would be profound enough to become ‘history’…”

“Brother’s condition is very bad. If these Threads find him…” Ootengu looked deeply worried.

“At this point, we can only rely on the Fire God…”

…

“Brother!” The Fire God landed in front of Jin Jianglang, shouting loudly, “You cannot go any further!”

“Fire God?” Jin Jianglang’s expression shifted. “Are you following me? Step aside, I am in a hurry!”

The Fire God had waited a long time for Jin Jianglang to appear but to no avail, so he could only chase after him from the Shiranui Family estate. However, he discovered they had changed their route and were currently heading back to Hiezu Village.

If left unhindered, he would collide straight into the Threads.

“I… I cannot step aside!” The Fire God pulled out his own Scissors and stabbed them into the ground. “Brother, if you go any further, you will fall into madness!”

Jin Jianglang’s eyes flared with a piercing crimson light, his long hair inexplicably rising without any wind. “Fire God, I am already going mad! Let me see Enenra!”

“She has already…” The Fire God was just about to speak when he suddenly sensed something. Turning his head, he saw several finger-thick Threads shooting straight toward Jin Jianglang.

“Oh no!” he roared. “Fellow yokai! You cannot let those Threads touch my brother! He will absolutely lose his mind!”

Having lived with Shuten for a long time, the numerous yokai naturally knew how formidable the Threads spoken of by the Shiranui Family were. These things, normally entirely invisible, possessed immense power.

“Whose Threads are those?” Shuten muttered to himself. “Why are they connecting to Jin Jianglang?”

“They are Enenra’s!” the Fire God replied. “Help me hold my brother back, I will go sever her Threads!”

Upon hearing this, massive Demonic Energy exploded from Jin Jianglang’s body: “Fire God!! Do you

dare sever my Enenra?!”

Realizing things were going badly, Shuten immediately stepped forward and grabbed Jin Jianglang’s arm. “Hey! Your current state is seriously wrong! Those Threads cannot touch you!”

“Let me go!!” Jin Jianglang bellowed, his hair standing on end. With a simple swing of his arm, he actually sent Shuten flying backward.

Shuten twisted in midair and landed steadily, then rubbed his aching chest where he had been struck.

“What terrifying strength… Do you really want to become a yokai?”

Seeing that the situation was deteriorating, the crowd of yokai immediately lunged forward to pin Jin Jianglang down.

Shuten also leapt back into the fray, pressing down on Jin Jianglang with a death grip.

Pinned to the ground by a horde of bodies, Jin Jianglang gritted his teeth and snarled, “Fire God! You are not allowed to cut my Lovesickness and Reluctance! If you dare make me forget Enenra, I will kill you!!”

“I am sorry, Brother, but I am protecting you.”

The Fire God raised his head, looking at Reluctance, Lovesickness, and Vicissitude in the sky.

These three Threads seemed to know that the person before them would not be easy to deal with. They actually slowed down, hesitating in midair.

“Don’t…!” Jin Jianglang’s voice softened, trembling as he spoke. “Fire God! I beg you… let me remember her… I don’t want to forget all of this…”

The Fire God’s face was filled with sorrow, but he still sprinted toward Vicissitude with unwavering resolve. The black Scissors in his hands gleamed brightly as they clamped onto the Thread, but this Thread was extraordinarily tough. It took almost every drop of the Fire God’s strength to finally snap it.

“Ahhhhh!!!!” Jin Jianglang unleashed a wild roar, his entire body appearing to swell in size.

The numerous yokai felt the strain. Almost a hundred of them were actually unable to hold down a single human.

“I am… truly sorry…” Shuten ground his teeth, his form also gradually enlarging as sharp horns sprouted from his head. In that moment, he revealed his true yokai form.

The yokai also followed suit, revealing

their true forms to pin Jin Jianglang down with even greater power.

“Let me go!! Let me go!!” Jin Jianglang was pressed against the earth, his face covered in dirt, yet he kept crying and screaming, “Do you hear the wails of those Threads?! Enenra is begging me to save her!! Don’t kill her!!”

“Brother!!” The Fire God spoke with tears in his eyes. “Enenra is already dead! You have to face reality!”

“Give her back to me… Give that yokai back to me!!” Jin Jianglang struggled ceaselessly. His body continued to expand, engulfed in a thick black mist that made him look indescribably eerie. “You pieces of trash… Why do you want me to forget her?! There’s still so much grilled fish she hasn’t eaten, an entire lifetime of cherry blossoms she hasn’t watched with me… She was barefoot right until the end, I never even bought her a single pair of shoes… Why do you want me to forget her?!”

The Fire God watched all of this with wide eyes, involuntarily taking a step back. If Reluctance and Lovesickness truly connected to Jin Jianglang, he feared the man would completely lose his mind and slaughter everyone in the vicinity.

“You should have expected this outcome from the very beginning! Stop being so blindly stubborn!” the Fire God roared with a sorrowful expression.

“Let me go!!!” Jin Jianglang bellowed, thrashing his arms. The yokai were entirely outmatched, sent flying away one after another. “Give Enenra back to me!! Give that liar back to me!!”

Knowing it was only a matter of time before Jin Jianglang broke free, the Fire God hurriedly covered his Scissors in Talismans and darted toward Reluctance.

“Break!!” he roared, hurling the Scissors from a distance. He used the sheer momentum of the massive blades to clamp onto Reluctance, then leaped forward and delivered a flying kick to the handles.

With a crisp snap, Reluctance was severed.

At that exact moment, a heaven-shaking roar erupted from Jin Jianglang. Relying on pure brute strength, he actually blasted all the yokai away and bolted straight toward Lovesickness.

“Enenra! I am coming to save you!!” Jin Jianglang yelled in sheer panic.

There was no one left in this world who loved Enenra. He absolutely could not forget her.
