[Original] Chapter 23 of "Soul Bearer"

(center) Chapter 23 Moonlight Slash (left) "This is a good thing? Why do you say that?" Jig really couldn't figure out the purpose of this strange red bead in front of him. "Keep it. You'll know later." Kazan didn't say anything more, and turned into a red stream of light and returned to Jig's arm. Jig wanted to say something to Kazan and thank him for taking care of him these days. Now he truly regards Kazan as his friend, his teacher, and an elder he can rely on. But for some reason, the words that came to my lips still didn't come out. "Alas..." Jig sighed softly and said no more. After working all day and feeling a little tired, Jig found a place to lie down. However, the night is long and I have no intention of sleeping. Jig tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so he simply lay on the grass and counted the stars. The starry sky looks beautiful tonight. Dots of stars are like bright pearls, embedded in the sky, shining brightly. There are countless half-bright stars hanging in the deep blue sky. Jig suddenly felt like crying. The starry sky was so beautiful before, but with the company of family members, the starry sky looks warm and has a cozy feeling. Today, the starry sky is still there, but the old friend has long gone. Suddenly, something cool fell on his face. "Is it raining?" Jig looked up at the sky. There were stars and no clouds at all. "Haha..." Jig smiled, and there was great sadness and sadness hidden in the faint laughter. "It seems they are the tears of the stars." He stretched out his hand blankly and looked up at the sky, "The stars... Why are you crying when you have the moon to accompany you..." The moon in the sky has only one arc, but surrounded by stars, it adds a bit of brightness and beauty. The snow-white moonlight shone on Jig's body, and Jig was surprised to find that its energy was actually dark. "What's going on? Isn't the moon supposed to reflect the sun's light energy?" Suddenly, another tear fell on Jig's face. He was stunned. Just stood there blankly. . . . After a long time, he exhaled a long breath. "I understand..." A sad light shone into his golden pupils, but what was reflected was a touch of calmness and joy. Jig stood up and took out his Akiba knife. "Every time you use the power of ghosts and gods, you will feel different negative emotions." Jig slowly raised his hand to control the flow of the power of ghosts and gods. "If you can relate to this negative emotion..." He took a deep breath. "Then you can give full play to the other side of the power of ghosts and gods!!!" Jige took the knife with one hand and swung it upward fiercely, "Moonlight--!" The black power of ghosts and gods in his body was swung out like running water, and it turned out to be silvery white like moonlight. A large silver-white curved arc appeared, exactly like the waning moon in the sky. "--Cut!" Once again, Jig slashed downwards, and another moon-like silver arc flew out. Jig stood under the moonlight and smiled lightly. Aloofness and indifference became the best contrast to that smile. - At the same time, in Jig's conscious world, a red ghost smiled: "Look. Did I say he is a genius?" A black shadow-like thing next to him gently responded, "Yeah." The red ghost fell silent, "Maybe..." hesitantly said, "He can really surpass that man..." "No!" The black shadow suddenly became excited, "Kazan, are you crazy? How could he...!" Then his voice deepened again, "...and even if he can really surpass him, he will never be able to surpass his destined fate!" "..." Kazan disappeared silently. "Haha... It seems." Black Shadow smiled coldly, "Someone has already tried to break this ending." "Fight with fate! Even if... you can't win at all..." "Hehehehahaha!" .........
