- The Reincarnation World Where Only I Know the Storyline
- RWWOKS Chapter 220
In an antique room, a beautiful young woman appeared melancholic, her eyes filled with unspoken sorrow and emotions that seemed impossible to express.
On the shelf in front of her, a copper mirror emanated a strange aura.
The woman’s delicate eyebrows lifted slightly, as if she were waiting for something, but sadly, the mirror never provided the answer she sought.
Sighing softly, she rose from her seat. Her long, flowing black hair cascaded down to her waist, swaying with every step she took.
Near the door, she gently waved her white robe, and the peculiar copper mirror instantly transformed into a streak of light, entering her body.
“A familiar face is coming,” Kagura Chizuru smiled faintly. As her sleeves fluttered, her form crossed several hundred meters in an instant.
Just as the door was knocked from the inside, her hand was already touching the doorknob.
“It’s been a long time, An.”
If anyone were to make Yashiro and Kyo Kusanagi team up, only Kagura Chizuru could manage such a feat.
The slightly familiar tone, if spoken by anyone else, would have earned them a slap at the very least, but when she said it, no one thought twice.
Apart from their personal relationship, another undeniable factor was her overwhelming strength.
Kyo Kusanagi was wounded, Yashiro was a remnant, and of the Three Sacred Treasures’ heirs, only Kagura Chizuru still maintained her peak power.
In fact, she was even stronger now than she had been in 1997.
Just by standing there, Fang Bo could feel a faint but undeniable threat.
Before the door had even been fully opened, he hadn’t sensed anyone else’s presence.
This alone spoke volumes.
Looking at the woman’s graceful figure, Yashiro silently nodded, his gaze filled with some confusion.
As a member of a traditional shrine maiden family, Kagura Chizuru was a woman who knew her place and would never allow two guests to stand outside the door for long.
Yashiro felt uneasy and subtly raised his guard, sensing that something wasn’t quite right.
“An, you’re injured,” Kagura Chizuru said softly, her lips parted slightly as she gestured for the butler to prepare healing tools.
She then glanced at the man beside her, her smile frozen yet implying something deeper: “If I’m not mistaken, this is the one who attacked the KOF Dojo, right?”
The last word had barely left her lips when Fang Bo felt a sharp chill rising in his chest.
Instinctively, he raised his arm to defend, but he still couldn’t block her hand.
[You have been attacked by Kagura Chizuru, dealing 35 damage.]
She hadn’t used a killing move, merely delivering a simple slap. But the most unexpected thing was her godly speed.
Even though Fang Bo had been on alert, he didn’t anticipate her movement to be that quick.
The attack had already landed on his body, and his afterimage was still fading in place.
Staggering backward, he raised his gaze to look at the woman who combined nobility and elegance, seemingly trying to understand her true intentions.
Was she seeking vengeance for Mai Shiranui?
Or was she simply venting her frustration on him?
[Kagura Chizuru (Heir to the Three Sacred Treasures)]
[Attack Tendencies: High]
[Attribute Tendencies: Agility, Mental Power, Perception]
[Special Traits: Yata Mirror (Legendary), Light as a Swallow]
[Threat Assessment: Highly Dangerous]
Light as a Swallow: Light and agile like a swallow, increasing speed by +15% and reducing air resistance.
Seeing her attack tendencies, Fang Bo’s heart sank.
This woman was serious.
It seemed he had underestimated the relationship between these female fighters. Perhaps she was holding a grudge over him releasing Goenitz?
As the woman prepared to press her attack, Fang Bo’s eyes narrowed, and his mental energy surged out like a sharp arrow.
[Your Mental Shock deals 18 damage to the enemy.]
That damage wasn’t enough, but his goal wasn’t to defeat her.
A brief pause, and his teammate would naturally follow up with a finishing blow.
But then, the real question arose: Would Yashiro really attack a former teammate to help him?
The answer came quickly.
Seizing the moment when Kagura Chizuru’s body momentarily stopped, Yashiro executed a ruthless sidekick, sending her crashing into the nearby wooden door.
Fang Bo was someone he brought here, and helping him recover his strength was both a personal and logical obligation.
Old relationships were one thing, but in this moment, Yashiro chose to stand by him.
“You haven’t changed a bit,” Kagura Chizuru said with a serious expression, now clearly a bit angry.
When a friend attacked another for the sake of a third, anyone would feel some bitterness.
Kagura Chizuru was no exception; she naturally began to get angry.
As she saw him launch another kick, she moved with remarkable speed to evade, then grabbed Yashiro’s ankle and threw him heavily to the ground.
“Your movements have slowed, An,” she said, with a touch of nostalgia, recalling what had happened in 1997.
To seal Orochi, this stubborn man had taken on three Sacred Techniques with his own body.
At that moment, no one believed he could survive.
His self-sacrificial spirit deeply shook Kagura Chizuru, and she couldn’t help but feel a twinge of regret for her past misunderstandings.
“Perhaps An just isn’t good at expressing himself. His nature is no different from Kyo’s.”
As she thought about it, her movements slowed, and a thought crossed her mind: Maybe she should give him a chance to explain himself.
But in the next second, a Kikoken hit her square in the chest, and Kagura Chizuru was sent flying, crashing into the wall.
“…” Her forehead bulged with veins, and as her body swayed, countless afterimages seemed to pass by.
Kagura Style Ancient Martial Arts – 222nd Move: Speed of the Gods!
A blow that completely surpassed visual capture landed heavily on Yashiro’s chest.
Before Kagura Chizuru could rise, she had already knocked him down with a similar strike.
For the next two minutes, both entered a true combat state.
Every move from Yashiro contained immeasurable power, showing no mercy. He knew exactly who he was up against—if he didn’t go all out, he would quickly lose.
Meanwhile, his opponent remained composed, skillfully countering every attack.
Even when facing a torrential storm of attacks, Kagura Chizuru showed no signs of panic.
Her calm demeanor alone set her apart from any average fighter.
It wasn’t until Yashiro could no longer continue due to his injuries that Kagura Chizuru stopped attacking.
“…Come inside,” she turned and said, silently allowing Fang Bo to enter her courtyard.
Yashiro had gone to great lengths to protect Fang Bo, and continuing to attack him would have led to the expected result.
Since that was the case, she decided to hear their intentions first.
They entered the guest room, and Fang Bo quickly explained the situation regarding the NESTS Organization.
Upon hearing that he had saved Kyo Kusanagi and killed the mob boss Geese from South Town, Kagura Chizuru’s stern expression finally softened.
As the guardian of the Orochi seal, the matter of Orochi itself was her primary concern. For now, the grudge between Mai Shiranui and Goenitz could be set aside.
“I understand your intentions now.” Kagura Chizuru sighed lightly, never expecting that even to this day, someone would still covet the power of Orochi.
Did they not realize that this was a force humans could never control?
“The NESTS Organization… such a foolish group of people.”
She flicked her hand lightly, and a copper mirror appeared in her palm.
The Yata Mirror was an extraordinary artifact, capable of teleportation, sealing, distant observation, creating illusions, and telepathic communication.
Only she could control the rampaging Yashiro, keeping the blood of Orochi constantly boiling, using cellular regeneration to gradually heal his internal wounds.
For years, Yashiro had been avoiding entering his berserk state. In reality, he could activate the power of Orochi whenever he chose.
During the activation of Orochi’s power, Yashiro would completely transform into a wild beast, losing all reason.
Once the transformation started, it couldn’t be stopped, or the power would soon fade completely.
Why come to Kagura Chizuru?
Because the Yata Mirror had sealing capabilities, and only she could restrain Yashiro’s bloodthirsty rage.
“The sealing must occur immediately after the rampage begins. It can’t be too early or too late,” Fang Bo reminded, his voice tinged with concern.
For safety reasons, the three of them headed to the underground dojo built beneath the Kagura household.
This place was spacious, secluded, and free from external interference. Even if Yashiro lost control, he wouldn’t be able to harm anyone else.
Feeling uneasy, Fang Bo procured a few solid iron chains from Kagura Chizuru and, under Yashiro’s silent gaze, secured him tightly to a pillar.
Still, something didn’t feel quite right, so Fang Bo suggested with a serious tone, “Why don’t we just break his arms and legs?”
“Don’t forget, you’re here to heal him,” Kagura Chizuru rolled her eyes, ignoring his increasingly absurd suggestion.
“Tsk.” Fang Bo shook his head, unsure of what was going through his mind.
As for Yashiro, since the moment he was bound, he had kept his head lowered.
It seemed like he was silently brooding.
After an unknown amount of time, a low, eerie laugh suddenly echoed around them. The faint, yet palpable sense of danger made the hairs on both their necks stand on end.
Not only Fang Bo, but even Kagura Chizuru felt cold sweat forming on her forehead.
[Yashiro (Blood Rampage)]
[Attack Tendencies: Extreme]
[Attribute Tendencies: Agility, Mental Power, Strength]
[Special Traits: Destruction of the Azure Flame (Legendary), Orochi Blood]
[Threat Assessment: Highly Lethal]
“This guy…” Fang Bo swallowed nervously and exchanged a glance with the woman beside him.
He didn’t even dare speak, fearing that saying anything might draw Yashiro’s attention in his berserk state.
You see, when Yashiro went into this rampage, he was unstoppable—he could kill anyone who stood in his way, and even the Eight Kings would fall before his claws.
Even Kyo Kusanagi at his peak had no way of handling this form of his old rival.
Kagura Chizuru was strong, but Fang Bo couldn’t shake the nagging worry.
Could this really work?
His complex feelings went unnoticed by Kagura Chizuru, who was solely focused on sealing her teammate.
She needed to see if the Orochi blood could heal Yashiro’s internal injuries.
Stepping closer, she raised the copper mirror in her hand, preparing to invoke the Sacred Technique she hadn’t used in a long while.
Kagura Chizuru’s speed was exceptional—calling her the fastest in the King of Fighters world wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
However, this was just within normal parameters. There were some people who could, in a short span of time, move faster than she could.
Bang!
There was a crisp snap, and the chains holding Yashiro suddenly broke under the force of his rampage.
Before Kagura Chizuru could even react, he swiftly struck, drawing blood from her chest with a backhanded claw.
Before her body even hit the ground, Yashiro was on her, grabbing her by the face with a vicious grip.
Finishing Move: 212th Technique – Kotozuki Yomi!
Purple flames erupted, searing through Kagura Chizuru’s body, and her screams echoed painfully throughout the room.
Just as Yashiro was about to deal the fatal blow, a spear of shadow pierced through his body.
[Your artifact dealt 52 damage to the enemy.]
Fang Bo knew that rampaging Yashiro would be tough to deal with, but he had no choice. If he didn’t act, Kagura Chizuru would be killed.
Sensing Yashiro’s intent, he unleashed all of his power without holding back.
Seal of Shadows released. Yashiro’s previously pitch-black eyes were suddenly overwhelmed by a blood-red hue.
Nightmare Power, activate!
Activating his new special trait, Fang Bo was about to face the strongest opponent he had ever encountered.
Nightmare Fang Bo vs. Rampaging Yashiro!
The battle was about to erupt!
