Chapter 1877 Sei -Part 6

Or that was what he thought.

As Ke Mi was playing a more soothing piece, Sei tried to get out of the ice spikes, knowing that the user in front of her was somewhat capable. She finally acknowledged him and started to put her two palms together as she made a few signs as if Sei was dabbling in ninjutsu. 

But it was actually a sign of incantation where the chi within her body started to rise once more and out from behind her came out another dragon. This time around, it was not a silhouette, not a water form, and instead a real summon. 

However, that did not deter Ke Mi to continue playing her Zither as if she was not bothered by the surroundings around her. Jin on the other hand kept quiet and listened to the Zither. He knew that Ke Mi had a plan and even though she did not see as much combat as many others do, many of the monsters always revere the Zither Mistress as one of the strongest monsters that Jin had. Even Kraft had praised her a few times out of context.

Yet as Ke Mi continued to play her song, now onto another verse, Sei had once more summoned another Water Dragon. This continued until she had nine dragons surrounding her. "If you had stopped me from summoning at one, you might have a chance to live. But now that you did not even disturb the longest incantation my Clan had created, you have no hope of defeating me." Sei said as she used her War Umbrella to point at the System Rider.

"I do not know who you are and I acknowledge that you are somewhat strong. To me, I still believed that Ming had made a mistake entrusting all the Cardinals to you. He believed that you are the one who can control us and avert calamity." 

"Avert Calamity? Wait wait wait. Since when do I ever control the Cardinals? They are the ones controlling me." Jin wanted to shout out but he remembered that Ke Mi was still working on her music piece and it was best not to break her concentration for he knew that any sound he made would be equivalent to a spontaneous concern from Ke Mi. If anything, he is currently his Achilles heel for the Zither Mistress right now and he had decided to just keep his mouth shut and learn more later.

And as Sei did not have a response from the User or neither the System Rider Zither Mistress, she had decided that violence was the only way to go. Her nine water dragons started to spiral around here despite their incomplete forms but the moment Sei said go. Those Water Dragons roared while shooting out jets of water toward Ke Mi. 

The water cannons had been stopped by the invisible wall that Ke Mi had put up but the impact of each shot literally shook the dungeon instance. In addition, the Water Dragons were not the patient kind who shot one at a time. Instead, they shot all nine simultaneously in hopes of breaking this invisible air barrier that was stopping them. And if that was not enough, they were chagrining their chi as they sprung forward with the objective of destroying the barrier with their own strength and powers. 

In the meantime, Ryuli was also creating water spheres and threw them at high speeds to break the barrier, only to be stopped regardless of that invisible wall. Jin had no idea that the ultimate defence might not be Genbu but actually Ke Mi. He had no idea that the Zither Mistress had this much power in her. 

Meanwhile, the attackers did not know that Ke Mi was also performing something dangerous and she was near the end of the verse that she had played. Hence, with the last pluck of her strings. Something miraculous happened to Jin. 

All of the water dragons were split into multiple pieces as if strings had cut into their skin, flesh and bones. And that was the same for Sei as well until she quickly summoned the strongest water chi barrier she could ever make.

But to her horror, the strings could even penetrate through the barriers and severely injure Sei in the process. There was no doubt the water barrier had lessened the strength of those strings that came forth, killing not just her nine dragons but it did not stop there. 

Upon injuring Sei, the Zither Mistress had already wrapped her up in a multitude of strings. How long can it last, they would not know but Ke Mi did exhaust her strength from doing this. "Thank you, you are the best." Jin said, allowing her to leave with a smile as he changed back to Suzaku once more.

"This is not the end of her." Suzaku exclaimed as she did not change the zither and instead started playing a song. Jin was surprised that Suzaku knew how to use it so professionally. 

"But I will try to calm her down. Or else, we are going in round 2." Suzaku told Jin what needed to be done and continued playing a seemingly old tune. Even though he is not a fan of the Zither nor had he been exposed to a lot of zither music, it was pretty apparent to him that it was a tune that felt ancient. 

Sei's anger started to simmer down as she quietly hung on the strings while listening to the tune. It did not take long for her to have her chi emission to be reduced as well but she was undoubtedly still using her chi to heal herself.

Once the music had stopped, Suzaku asked a plain and simple question. "Have you done ranting? Are you willing to talk and understand things? Or do you want to go a second round? Besides, you have gone and possessed another person's body without permission. Shouldn't you at least come out of that. The user had already taken pains not to hurt her as much."
