Chapter 38: Suppressing the Shura Power

After killing the tyrant, Lingyun looked toward Busujima Saeko and said with some helplessness, "I say, classmate Busujima, can't you be a bit more careful of your surroundings? If I hadn't arrived in time just now, you probably wouldn't have been saved."

Busujima Saeko looked up, scarlet light flickering in her eyes: "But, isn't this very exciting?"

"Exciting? It seems something really did happen." Lingyun frowned slightly.

Having beheaded the last tyrant in the area, Luo Yexi leaped and landed beside Ling Tian: "Master, what happened?"

Lingyun spread his hands: "It's a bit inconvenient here right now; we should leave as soon as possible and find another place to rest. We'll talk about this on the way."

"Mm."

On the way, Luo Yexi learned about Busujima Saeko's situation from Lingyun and asked with a frown: "Master, what is going on with Busujima Saeko's condition?"

"Don't forget, what Busujima Saeko controls is Shura Power. The Shura are a bloodthirsty race, so it is normal to fall into a fanatical state during battle. If her strength were strong enough to completely master the Shura Power within her body, that wouldn't be much of a problem. However, she is still too weak right now, and has been influenced by the Shura Power in turn; the result is her current situation," Lingyun said.

"But, didn't you say that Busujima Saeko is the Fate Child of this world? Why would this situation occur?"

"As the Fate Child, the most important thing is, of course, having the World Consciousness backing her. Under normal circumstances, if Busujima Saeko were to encounter this situation, the World Consciousness would step in to alleviate her condition. However, the World Consciousness of this world, after sealing the entire world, fell directly into a deep slumber due to excessive exhaustion. Without the help of the World Consciousness, there is nothing wrong with her appearing in this state."

"Then what do we do now?"

"Let's wait until we find the next place to rest before talking about it."

Behind the two, Busujima Saeko remained silent. In her eyes, scarlet light surged continuously, and her right hand holding the sword trembled uncontrollably, but in the end, she still suppressed it.

"There is a shopping center ahead. Although a large number of dead are gathered outside, it doesn't look like it has been breached by the dead yet. We can rest inside for a while," Luo Yexi said, pointing ahead.

"Fine, it just happens to be lunchtime; let's go there and eat something," Lingyun nodded.

When Lingyun's group entered the shopping center, the people inside looked at the three of them with curiosity. On one hand, it was because the three were carrying weapons; on the other, they were curious about how they had entered the shopping center unscathed with so many dead around.

"Are you the new survivors? Mamei... no, I have something I would like to ask you. I wonder if you have the time?" Just as Lingyun's gaze was scanning the shelves of the shopping center, a female voice rang out beside him.

"Oh?" Lingyun turned his head and saw a woman wearing a police uniform. With pretty, short orange hair and a cute baby face paired with a pair of large eyes, she looked quite lovely. "What do you want to ask?"

"How is the situation outside now? There are more and more dead outside now. My senior and I were discussing going to the police station for help, but no matter how many times we call the police station, we can't get through," the policewoman said somewhat embarrassedly.

"As for that, I am truly sorry. Our group happened to pass by the police station just now, but there was no one left there. Moreover, the surroundings are now completely filled with the dead. If you were to rush out, you would only be throwing your lives away for nothing."

"Ah? Is it that serious?" Zhonggang Mamei's expression turned ugly all of a sudden. "Then I will go and discuss it with my senior. Thank you so much for your help."

Watching Zhonggang Mamei's departing figure, Luo Yexi said to Lingyun: "Master, the impression this policewoman gives me is actually quite good."

"Mm, she is indeed a pretty good person. It looks like we can help her out when necessary. However, the most important thing right now is to fill our stomachs," Lingyun nodded.

Busujima Saeko followed behind Luo Yexi, head lowered, silent, as if enduring something.

Lingyun's gaze swept over Busujima Saeko, he sighed inwardly, and said to Luo Yexi: "Ye Xi, go keep watch. I will help Busujima Saeko suppress the killing intent within her."

Luo Yexi nodded, walked forward a few steps, and released her perception.

Lingyun placed his hand on Busujima Saeko's shoulder and said softly: "It's hard to endure, isn't it? Come, look up and let me see."

Busujima Saeko's body trembled, then she slowly raised her head. In her pupils, scarlet light surged continuously, and faintly there was an aura of a monstrous sea of blood, constantly releasing terrifying killing intent. If an ordinary person saw these eyes, they would likely be scared out of their wits by this powerful killing intent on the spot.

"It really is quite serious. It seems I still underestimated the Shura Power within you," Lingyun said, his expression turning serious all of a sudden as he felt the killing intent in Busujima Saeko's eyes. "Can I only say that it is worthy of being something created by the World Consciousness?"

"Brother, are you really going to use the power of the Cloud Realm on her?" Ruoxi's voice rang out in Lingyun's heart.

"Mm, regardless of anything else, we have met after all. Since I can help her, why not? Besides, I won't work for free. The strength of the Shura Power within Busujima Saeko far exceeds my expectations. By analyzing this power, I should be able to obtain a very complete Killing Law," Lingyun responded. "However, I am very curious why the World Consciousness of this world could obtain such powerful Shura Power. This power is not at all inferior to the Styx. Logically speaking, this world shouldn't be able to possess this kind of power."

"This kind of power shouldn't come from this world; it should have been obtained by the World Consciousness from somewhere else," Ruoxi explained. "Alright, Brother, the power of the Cloud Realm is ready."

Lingyun's expression suddenly became serious: "Classmate Busujima, do not resist my power."

Busujima Saeko nodded slightly. Lingyun placed his other hand on Busujima Saeko as well, and the power of the Cloud Realm flowed along his hands, seeping into Busujima Saeko's body in thin wisps. Seeming to sense the intrusion of an external force, the Shura Power within Busujima Saeko's body boiled over instantly, preparing to counter this force.

"Rotate!" The power of the world can change into thousands of forms, and the power of the Cloud Realm even more so. Following a low shout in Lingyun's heart, those wisps of World Power instantly transformed into Shura Power.

Under Lingyun's urging, the Shura Power transformed from World Power carefully mixed with the Shura Power inside Busujima Saeko's body. Lingyun had to be careful during this process; on one hand, his current strength was still too weak, and if the Shura Power in Busujima Saeko's body fought back, he would likely be severely injured on the spot. On the other hand, Busujima Saeko could not yet fully control the Shura Power in her body; once the Shura Power backlashed, her situation would definitely fall into an extremely dire state.

Enduring the bloating pain in his meridians caused by the World Power surging through his body, Lingyun meticulously fused the two powers within Busujima Saeko. Busujima Saeko was not having an easy time either; although both powers within her were Shura Power, there were still slight differences. The collision between the powers put her body under immense pressure. However, she kept gritting her teeth and holding on, understanding that if anything happened to her, both she and Lingyun would be in big trouble.

When the two powers were mixed to a certain degree, a flash of ruthlessness appeared in Lingyun's eyes, and he suddenly urged the Shura Power he had poured into Busujima Saeko's body to form an invisible Seal Array.

"Shura Seal!"

Before the Shura Power within Busujima Saeko's body could react, it was sealed up by Lingyun using a highly profound Shura Seal Array. The resistance it put up was also weakened layer by layer under the suppression of the Seal Array, eventually losing its effect.

While sealing the Shura Power, Lingyun also took a portion of the Shura Power from within Busujima Saeko's body into his own, then transferred it into the Cloud Realm. As for what benefits Ruoxi could gain from it, that would depend on her own ability.

Opening his eyes, Lingyun let out a long breath: "Alright, I have already set up a Seal Array within your body. Now the Shura Power in your body should no longer go berserk. In the time to come, as long as you grow, you will definitely be able to fully control the Shura Power within your body."

Looking at Lingyun's pale face, Busujima Saeko lowered her head and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work, Ling-kun."

Lingyun smiled and waved his hand: "Regardless of anything else, we are now in the same squad. If I can help you, I will naturally take action. Now, the most important thing for you is to recover from your injuries as soon as possible so that you can form sufficient combat power in the future to deal with the final BOSS."

"Yes, Ling-kun, I will work hard."
