Genshin Impact: I am best at sacrifice, don't cry

Chapter 257: Asase Hibiki's Story

After discovering the body, Nandou took over control of the plant and carefully brought the body and the bow back to the ground.

Hu Tao also noticed the change in Nan Dou's expression and ran over quickly: "What's wrong, brother, are you in trouble?"

Nan Dou waved his hand: "There is no danger, just some unexpected things."

Soon, everything was brought to the surface.

"Oh, a corpse!"

Walnut was not afraid, and even came closer to take a closer look.

Hundreds of years have passed, and the body of the owner of the skeleton has long since decayed, but the remaining bones are as smooth as jade. The witch's costume she was wearing is full of traces of high-temperature burning, but it remains basically intact.

"A witch...why would she die here?"

"She has been dead for at least several hundred years, but her bones are so clean, which means she must have been a very powerful person before she died."

"There are terrible lightning marks on the clothes. Did you encounter a thunderstorm?"

Walnut had also seen the Thunderstorm on Qinglai Island, and she thought that she could kill the owner of this skeleton instantly.

Nan Dou, who was standing aside, gradually figured everything out. It was all because of the bow that was buried with the witch.

The name of the bow is - Thunder Vibration

"Hutao, are you interested in listening to a story from long ago?"

"Yeah, I want to listen! I want to listen! Brother."

Looking at Hu Tao's cheering and anticipation, Nan Dou smiled and shook his head, then made a small stool for her using rock elements.

----

Inazuma over 500 years ago...

There was a bohemian young man named Gao Ling, who made a bet with Ying Xiang Tengu by chance.

After the bet, the boy was appreciated by Tengu, taken in as a servant, and given the nickname [Konbumaru].

Many years passed, the boy gradually became able to stand on his own, and was recommended by Tengu to the shogunate.

At the same time, a young shrine maiden from a small fishing village came to Narugami Taisha Shrine as an apprentice shrine maiden and studied under the chief priest Kitsunasaigumi. Her name was Asase Hibiki.

Asase Hibiki met Takamine while working and studying at the shrine, and the shrine maiden Asase Hibiki developed feelings for Konbumaru.

Although she had been trying her best to deny this feeling, Lord Kitsusai Palace still revealed it.

As time passed, Konbumaru made great contributions to the general and was granted marriage, and the shrine maiden Asase Hibiki also grew up.

Although Kombumaru has been promised marriage, Kombumaru and Asase Hibiki have always admired each other.

One day, Kombumaru suddenly had an idea to teach Asase Hibiki the archery technique to Lord Tengu. Asase Hibiki pretended to be stubborn but studied hard at the same time.

Later, Asase Hibiki was pulled to the port by Konbumaru to talk about the past. As they talked about the past, they gradually became speechless.

The two looked at each other with complicated eyes, and they knew very well in their hearts that even though they cared about each other, they just met the right person at the wrong time, and this was destined to be a regrettable relationship.

What Asase Hibiki never said was probably: We already know each other's feelings, so why don't we dare to express our love for each other?

As the shrine maiden Hibiki Asase grows up, Kitsunesai, who was born as the earth spirit of Inazuma, gradually becomes aware of the growth of the filth on Narukami Island, and a battle with it is inevitable.

The filth is on the verge of erupting, so naturally General Lei Dian has to lead everyone to fight against it.

Originally led by General Lei Dian, this battle was a sure win.

But at this moment, the demon snake Orobas from Kaiji Island attacked for unknown reasons.

After General Lei Dian struck Wu Xiang with the sword, he did not return, but instead left Inazuma in a hurry.

Filth took advantage of the time when General Raiden was away and swept across the land of Naruto.

Thunder God's subordinates, including Shadow Tengu, Chiyo the Kid, Kitsune Saigū, and Konbumaru, can only lead their subordinates to fight against the filth without the presence of General Raiden.

Knowing that this battle would be disastrous, Kombumaru came to make a bet with Asase Hibiki using the Flying Thunder Vibrating String as the stakes, and took the opportunity to leave the inscribed bow bestowed by the General of Thunder to Asase Hibiki for self-defense.

Both of them knew the meaning of this bet, which was probably that if he won, he would come back to marry you, but it was obvious that the outcome of this agreement full of flags was already doomed.

The battle with the filth was extremely brutal. The power of the filth this time was extremely strong. Kombumaru killed countless enemies transformed from filth until the end. Even the famous sword Kirikiri in his hand was cut off.

In the end, the swordsman Konbumaru was swallowed by the dark filth. At the last moment, he still remembered the bet with his loved one and he must return to his loved one, but...

Later, the battle ends with the return of General Raiden.

But the price was also extremely heavy. The lightning general Baalzebub lost his three friends and was devastated.

Many years later, the shadow left by the filth on the Inazuma people still exists. Even though the "Kombu Maru" was swallowed by the filth, he still remembered the promise he made with Asase Hibiki.

After being eroded by filth for many years, Kombumaru returned from the abyss. Kombumaru, who had long since turned into a monster, staggered to the front of Asase Hibiki. His nostalgia for his former lover awakened a trace of reason in him.

At this moment, Asase Hibiki is no longer the thousand-year-old girl.

The dark eyes that had dried up with blood and tears regained their spirit, but were pierced by a hook arrow with flashing power.

Asase Hibiki looked sad and his eyes were extremely complicated. His wish for many years had come true, but she had to bury him with her own hands, using the archery skills he taught her and the precious bow he gave her.

【Please come and see me, a gambling idiot. 】

[Don't get lost this time, Konbumaru. ]

Who won this bet?

Later, Asase Hibiki returned to Seiraishi Island to take care of the Asase Shrine. In the shrine, he met a cat who loved to sleep and named it "Nenko".

He also met Saemon, who looked very similar to Konbumaru. Asase Hibiki then placed his obsession with Konbumaru on this young boy and treated him as his own son.

Asase Hibiki originally wanted to live his life in peace like this.

But Saemon was as unrestrained and freedom-loving as Konbumaru was when he was young. Fortunately, he became a pirate and was awarded the title of Pirate King Akaho Hyakumeki.

What Asase Hibiki was worried about finally happened. The shogunate wanted to wipe out the pirate Akame Oni on Qinglai Island.

Asase Hibiki was very worried after his request to join the battle on board was rejected by Saemon.

Asase Hibiki doesn't want to lose the one he loves again, just like the last time the one he loved sacrificed his life to restore peace to Narukami Island.

Thinking that what he was about to do would go against the moral principles, Asase Hibiki first set up a barrier around the shrine and the village.

Then he used the secretly learned Tengu magic to lift the seal on the ghost of Thunderbird.

However, Asase Hibiki still underestimated the power of the ghost of the thunderbird, causing the village that had set up the barrier to be affected, with only the shrine area remaining intact.

In the end, Zuoemon returned safely.

But Qinzi could never wait for Ah Xiang's return.

……

"Phew, that's her story."

After finishing the story of Asase Hibiki, Kurumi and Nandou remained silent for a long time.

From a personal perspective, Hibiki Asase completed the redemption of his lifelong regrets in the last moments of his life.

But from the perspective of her duties and the entire Qinglai Island, she is selfish. She disregards the lives of innocent villagers, steals from the public, and borrows the power of the thunderbird.

But no matter what happened in the past, Asase Hibiki has long turned into a handful of earth, and all the right and wrong, merits and demerits are just passing clouds.
