Nightmare’s Call

Chapter 362: Kasumi: Part 3

The red-haired swordswoman he had just summoned wore torn rags that barely covered her top and a pair of shorts. Her legs were bare and her hair messy, covering her eyes.

She looked almost no different than a female savage that had been left behind by civilization.

Aside from that massive silver greatsword in her hand.

Lin Sheng quickly infused the part of the memories he had already gained through the ritual into the swordswoman’s mind.

Then, he transmitted a good portion of the knowledge of the modern world as well.

Soon, the ritual was over.

The crimson light in the middle of the ritual dimmed and faded away.

Tenko Kasumi stood quietly as she blinked while looking at Lin Sheng before her.

Lin Sheng exchanged gazes with her too.

Time soon passed, but Tenko Kasumi continued to stare at Lin Sheng, and he did the same as well.

Ten more minutes passed…

“Why aren’t you talking?” Lin Sheng could no longer hold back.

While she was one of his summoned beings, the latter still had her own mind and consciousness. Out of respect, Lin Sheng would not pry into the minds of any Commander-class summoned being willy-nilly even when he could do it on a whim.

Tenko Kasumi kept silent and raised her head after a long while.

“When do we commence slaughter?”

“Huh?” Lin Sheng was dumbstruck.

“If you didn’t call me out for slaughter, what for then?” Tenko Kasumi’s temper flared as her eyes lit up in crimson fury.

“This is our own city… No need for slaughter here.” Lin Sheng felt that something was not right. Did he just summon out a massive headache?

“That’s your problem!” Tenko Kasumi swung her greatsword about as the air howled within the confined room.

“Quick! Slaughter! I demand slaughter!!” The crimson light in her eyes grew even brighter.

“Slaughter! You know? Slaughter! One strike, living to dead, dead to parts, parts to bits! BITS! You know?”

“Calm down! Calm down!” Lin Sheng quickly transmitted calming emotions to placate the latter.

“There’s no hurry. There will be a time when your blade is needed, but calm down for now. Calm down okay?” He continuously tried to use the soul corridor to calm her down.

However, her mind had clearly been warped by her perilous fight against the Blacktide, and Lin Sheng’s placation was clearly not working.

“I demand slaughter! Slaughter!!

“This world is too tainted, and needs to be purified!!

“Any living person would soon be tainted, and rather than being tainted, they should just die by my blade!!

“Die die die!! I’m the anointed Purifier of Worlds! Evil must die!”

Tenko Kasumi kept on howling in rage inside the room.

It took Lin Sheng over an hour of hard work to manage to get her to calm down somewhat.

After setting her down, Lin Sheng quickly got Cainphas to get an identity ready for her. A normal tutor in the university as a cover.

He then brought her out to test out the Palatinate’s real power.

Tenko Kasumi came equipped with many combat abilities, and this was very useful for Lin Sheng’s future arrangements and plans.

After all, her prowess in the memories and in real life were two different matters. As for her Palatinate-level soul, it was nothing for the Lin Sheng of today.

He had absorbed a great soul vessel, and the number of souls inside it was far beyond what Tenko Kasumi would require.

The key question was combat ability, and so he could not afford to be complacent.

Through Baine University’s information, he had found out that a city of hundred thousand by the mountains on the border at the southeast of Miga had been consumed whole by the mist of the Blacktide.

The perpetrator seemed to be the Sevenlocks Tower.

They had first wiped out the Asterism garrison in the city, before feigning weakness, and took out the Moon Basin elite that was sent to reinforce the place.

By the time the Suncrown was about to move out, it was too late.

So, the government had sent in the army to lock the entire city down, and at the same time they sent out elite Darksiders from the Moon Basin and the Suncrown to man the defenses.

…

The moment Lin Sheng stepped out of the manor’s Sacred Ground, inside a holiday villa a hundred of kilometers away from Baine University, a detection device on the table beside two men in grey coats rang out with a piercing sound.

“It’s here.”

The two paused for a moment as they made towards the device as they looked at the numbers and symbols on the screen.

“Hopefully it stays on.”

“No, its stable this time. It shouldn’t disconnect now!”

The two gave the device a hopeful look. Ever since the item broke it never rang before, and now that it did, the data and locator on the screen quickly changed.

“There shouldn’t be any problems now. It had been going for ten minutes without disconnecting. That person had been using some sort of concealment techniques, or he was inside some concealed place, so the scanner did not manage to detect him.

“Let’s observe this for a while longer. Once we are sure that there are no issues, we should report this.”

“Alright!”

The two then continued to monitor the data on the device, and soon, they noticed a problem.

“That location marker… they are going to the airport! Quick! Inform the top brass!”

The two were taken aback and quickly made a call using the satellite phone to an assassination squad that had been waiting.

A moment later, a medium-sized aircraft slowly took off from Henriqcal International Airport into the distance.

Inside the airport, before a French window. Two gentleman-looking pair, one young one old looked at the airport that had just taken off.

“One step too late, a shame. But we already know where the plane is headed to. Let’s get on the next one,” the old man said.

“Yes, Sir,” the younger man said respectfully as he pulled out a flip phone from his pocket and pocketed it.

*Clack!*

A clear, audible clack rang out.

“I feel like the plane is going to crash,” Tenko Kasumi said, her expression impassive.

Lin Sheng’s lips twitched. “You’ll get punched you know… Can you not say something so inauspicious like that? We are on the god damn plane ourselves.”

“As if they can even beat me in the first place,” she said flatly.

“I did not mean that…” Lin Sheng felt his head was aching.

Soon, the air stewardess gave them orange juice and meat floss bun each. Kasumi wanted a red bean bun, but it had already run out.

Lin Sheng saw her face turning dark visibly.

“Hehehehe, this world is evil, I should start purifying it…”

“Quiet!” Lin Sheng immediately grabbed Kasumi, who was about to pounce on the stewardess hard, and he felt his head ache even more.

He could tell that this woman had been too used to settling everything with violence.

“Not everything needs to be settled with violence in this world.” He sent a serious mental message over as he quickly got up, and threw a hundred bucks to the passenger in front of him to buy a red bean bun for Kasumi.

Only then did she calmed down.

While Kasumi’s soul core was still part of him, but her own psyche was still affected by her body. Hormones, urges, her general condition, all of these would affect her mental state, and Lin Sheng could tell that her powerful body was affecting her psyche every single moment.

That was the root of her violent temperament.
