Lone Guardian - A Honkai Impact Story

When the Cherry Blossoms Bloom (Sakura Samsara Finale Part 1)

Yae Shrine

We three (four if you include Rin) are at a dilemma. After transferring my knowledge to Sakura and her SIster, they asked a lot of questions. The two were skeptical but relented since they noticed if it weren't for me appearing, their meeting would not be possible and Sakura will go on a rampage.

Though there are a lot of flaws in my plan, it's our best shot to end the cycle of suffering of these two (three if you include Rin observing the two girls) souls. A bit of side-effect of my transfer of knowledge is that they regained the memories of the past cycles.

It took a lot of comforting from me for the three to get a grip, they almost became broken-willed. I can't blame them, after all, they were continuously killing each other.

My plan is to take care of Higokumaru (yes I imparted that info too), by battling the corrupt form of her. Meanwhile Kallen and Rin would try to stop the spread of the corruption inside Sakura, at worst case, I would have to fight Higokumaru while Kallen and Rin holds back Sakura within the range of the upcoming battle.

Merely being to presence of the cube slowly accelerates the corruption, by releasing Higokumaru, no matter the distance, the Honkai energy will find its way to Sakura.

I'm on a timetable, I don't know how powerful Higokumaru would be. At best I'll probably activate Bankai but the Reiatsu from doing that would crush everone in this village including Sakura, Kallen, and Rin.

I offered Rin to pass on, but she refuse to do so until our problem isn't solved. Maybe I'll think a way to make a Gigai for her to live again, but I'll need to find a way for her not to lose her memories for her to pass on. If I remember, Pluses cannot enter a Gigai due to the Chain of Fate.

"Are there any objections or further additional ideas? Once we start, we cannot stop until we finish the purification." I asked, they are still on a debate.

"By doing this, it will attract a lot of Honkai beasts in the area. If we can find a way to isolate ourselves, we can do this smoothly." Kallen interjected, her statement proved to be true in every way. Honkai beasts will no doubt flock to high areas of concetration.

"Another problem too, what if we did find a way to isolate ourselves, what would happen to the village. For all I care the elders could just die but there are a lot of innocent souls in there too." Sakura also added another point, it isn't guaranteed that isolating ourselves will also isolate the Honkai energy.

I stopped treating this new life of mine as a game like what happened in Rising of the Shield Hero. I learned a lot of lessons from it, this is now real life I'm dealing with.

I may be powerful but I am still one person, then it struck me.

'Juha, Shiro, could you materialize outside and fight the Honkai beasts?' It has been a while since I talked to them, maybe they are getting antsy.

'Yes we could but it would take a lot from you, I suggest not using Bankai.' Juha was more of the intellectual one, I agreed to him. Using Bankai when already two souls use your energy to fight is downright suicidal. Even if I know the real Ichigo's reserves where nothing to scoff at, the fact that I am still learning to control the reiatsu is one thing to consider even though I already spent months.

As far as I know, spirits that materializes outside their Shinigami takes a lot of controlled energy just to learn Bankai.

'As much as I hate to admit it, the old man is right. It will take a lot from you since we are out there fighting. Though foxy-girl's theory still stands, it is better to be safe than sorry.'
