Chapter 1319 The Matriarch and Yoruichi part 5

Yoruichi could still tell where's the up and down but nothing else. This inadvertently reminded her of Tousen Kaname's Bankai, Suzumushi Tsuishiki: Enma K?rogi (Bell Bug Closing Ceremony: Field Cricket) with an ability to create a vacuum that nullifies the senses of spiritual energy, sight, sound, and scent.

'Thankfully, it's not as potent as Tousen's ability.' Yoruichi thought to herself after figuring out that her senses weren't actually blocked. Although even if it's as potent as Tousen's Bankai, Yoruichi already developed a technique to deal with situations like that.

While finding her bearing, a tiny electric spark extended out from her back and Yoruichi hurriedly stepped to the side. The next instant, an invisible blade went through the spot where she was just standing.

Corvina, who was hiding within the darkness, was surprised that she was able to dodge and sent more shadow blades toward her direction in addition to ejecting spikes from her feet.

But before the blades could reach her, tiny sparks of electricity would fly off from Yoruichi's body, striking the blades. It didn't do any damage to the blades nor did anything to stop or deflect them. But strangely enough, Yoruichi would turn in their direction and dodge them with ease.

Even the spikes that emerged under her feet were rendered useless as Yoruichi would move at any tiny indication that it would produce, 'She can somehow read the movement of my shadow?'

Corvina kept sending remote attacks towards Yoruichi while also trying to figure out how she was detecting her surroundings.

It was because of that that she didn't immediately notice why the tiny sparks from her were slowly extending out and the moment it reached her position and slightly pricked her feet she had a eureka moment. However, it was already too late. The instant it happened, Yoruichi also turned in her direction with a large smirk, and with her explosive speed, she instantly arrived in front of Corvina, "Found you~!"

'Electrostatic charges.' Corvina guessed the true nature of the detection ability Yoruichi was using while also boosting her defenses. But instead of being annoyed, Corvina smiled.

Yoruichi threw her fist containing enough power to vaporize a High-Class Devil in an instant but soon the smirk on her face was wiped off when Corvina also threw out a fist, meeting her own.

Corvina knew an Evie who had a similar ability in the past and she knew that she wouldn't be able to hide from her. As a Luxeux who mostly excels in covert battles and ambushes, that Evie and several others that are good with detection and known as 'Assassin Killers' were sent to eliminate the unit she's part of. It's a sound strategy but it's also the time when her name isn't known yet. Those Evies didn't know that the young Corvina is someone who likes to duke it out head-on.

A three-mile wide and two-mile tall pure black dome was created the moment Corvina trapped Yoruichi with her. Adrenna already knew what would happen before this so she was able to retreat with Stralit far enough not to be caught in it. As Yoruichi's oppressive and very overt Spiritual Power was also trapped along with her, Adrenna was able to sigh in relief and continued to check Stralit's condition.

A few seconds later, however, her thoughts were interrupted, and loudly muttered, "As I suspected, you're also here, lady Yarwood." She turned her head to the right and saw a young woman with deep red hair and eyes looking towards the dome, "How did you find this place?"

"Thanks to our fatal flaw as a society."

"Fatal flaw?" Adrenna was not expecting that kind of dramatic answer at all and ended up repeating her words.

"We developed our society while considering our prized Spiritual Abilities as the most important asset that we can't have our enemies analyze. In the past few decades, it was discovered that a few races and even some Etouldes started cooperating with the Evies to create a Prime that's capable of using Spiritual Abilities. That resulted in an extensive ban on any research on Spiritual Power unless you're part of the Holy Family.

"To keep our edge against the Evies, we focused on developing various techniques and devices that focus on the usage of Magic Power and Ki. And you know what we left out?"

Adrenna could see where she was trying to say, "What's uniquely yours, Spiritual Power? Are you saying that Yoruichi used Spiritual Power to create a beacon to lead you to this place?"

Gwenn turned to her with a smile, "Correct~! Due to how it was implemented, none of your sensors nor Corvina Luxeux noticed it."

Adrenna swallowed a mouthful of saliva to ease her dry throat, 'We're in a hidden world yet she was able to track this place using Yoruichi's signal... How did she do it?'

Gwenn, meanwhile, approached the unconscious Stralit and started unlocking her collar.

"Hold on! What are you doing!?" Adrenna tried stopping her but Gwenn intercepted her hand, "No worries. I just wanted to check her condition. Although I'm here to vouch for Yoruichi, that's all I'll do for her since that's all I previously agreed to. Stralit is also my friend so I want to check if there are any hidden dangers."

Adrenna hesitated for a moment but soon let go, "...Thank you. But be careful of the sword. It might manifest again."

"It won't. I've been looking and I think there's a condition for its activation that requires the user to be conscious."

While Gwenn is checking on Stralit, Adrenna's eyes turned to the dome and her thoughts went back to Gwenn's words, 'The Etouldes didn't allow in-depth study of their Spiritual Power as a form of self-defense. But now that it's not uniquely theirs anymore, it came to bite them back...'

Once knowledge about Yoruichi becomes more public, Adrenna doesn't doubt that there's going to be an upheaval through all the Etoulde territories. But when she reached this train of thought, she remembered something. It was when she's doing her regular work and gathering information for Corvina. A small rumor said that the Holy Family will soon lift the ban of Spiritual Power research.

It wasn't too farfetched so both Corvina and her immediately dismissed the rumor as something unreliable, "Wait... Could it be the rumor about the Holy Family lifting the ban..."

Without turning her head, Gwenn replied, "That's what I thought too. Almost everyone was dismissing this but it seem like it's going to be a good idea to have a head start."

"...I see... So that's why you're cooperating with her."

"I have a feeling that it won't be a peaceful time," Gwenn muttered to herself.

At this moment, the black dome suddenly started shaking before a pillar of light burst forth from it, dyeing the surroundings with its blinding color.
