Magician in Type-Moon

Swing the knife!

A molten, burning murderous intent surged and churned, the desire to kill permeating every corner of his soul.

This stems from the primal desire deep within the heart of the other half.

But the next moment.

"I can't see anything here." Xuanwu Gaoyue didn't make any defensive moves, but simply said a sentence.

Shiki and Izumi both heard the voice of the mysterious mist and the moon.

This statement not only entered the mind of the person named Ryougi Shiki directly, but also immediately became a fact.

In that instant, Ryougi Shiki could no longer see Genki Satsuki's figure, and the dagger she swung missed its mark.

Apart from Ryougi Shiki herself, there wasn't a single person in front of the entire school building.

However, this body's extraordinary sensitivity still clearly sensed that there was another person present, and Xuanwu Gaoyue had not disappeared.

"Is this the Book of False Gods? I wasn't very convinced when Touko and Matou were praising your existence, but now I've seen it."

"...That was really dangerous. Your speed was even faster than my voice. You're not to be underestimated. Thanks to you, I've got a cut on one arm."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhi, relying on the source of the sound, suddenly swung her knife again at the side of her hand.

But it only managed to cut through the air.

"It's no use. Didn't I tell you you can't beat me? That's right—you can kill anything, but words can't kill you."

The voice rang in Ryougi Shiki's ears.

“Your body, which is connected to the Root, is on the same level as my language. But here, even Ryougi Shiki cannot see death... However, as a result, even I cannot see any objects.”

That's absolutely right.

Words are the only thing that Ryougi Shiki cannot kill.

"But your abilities also have flaws, don't they?" Zhi snorted coldly.

"Oh?"

Today's update will be a little late.

I was suddenly dragged into being a groomsman! 0.o

Chapter 292 Living (Part 2)

"Xuanwu Gaoyue, why don't you attack me?"

Ryougi Shiki stared coldly ahead, her hands clenching slightly, ready to respond to any upcoming actions.

Xuanwu Gaoyue stood not far away, a cold smile playing on her lips, seemingly without any fear.

“Because I can’t kill you this way.” His voice sounded calm and rational, but there was an underlying joy in it. “All I can do is like this.”

“Just like this already bruised arm.” He slowly raised his hand and pointed at Ryougi, a hint of mockery in his eyes. “If I get even a little closer to you, you can easily take me down. So why take the risk? I don’t intend to risk my life, because that’s not my forte.”

Xuanwu Gaoyue continued, "All I need to do is trap you here."

"Trapped here?" Ryougi's gaze sharpened slightly, and she said coldly, "So that means your other companion is currently causing trouble for Orange?"

A subtle smile flashed across Genmu Satsuki's face, as if Ryougi Ori's guess had touched upon some of his thoughts.

“You’re always so perceptive, Ryougi. But to call him troublemaker is to underestimate Araya’s abilities. He’s not like me, who only knows how to stall for time.”

"Is that so?" Ryougi narrowed her eyes, her expression still calm, but the sharpness in her eyes had deepened. "Is it a deliberate attempt to separate us to deal with each other?"

“That’s right.” Xuanwu Gaoyue made no attempt to hide her intentions and readily admitted to the matter, her tone completely unwavering.

“I see.” Ryougi sneered, her narrowed eyes revealing a hint of sarcasm. “That idiot Orange really knows how to complicate things.”

"Hmm?" Genki Satsuki's smile vanished, revealing an expression other than a smile for the first time. "You mean to say that Aozaki Touko deliberately sent you away?"

"Who knows?" Ryougi shrugged slightly, her tone relaxed and nonchalant. "Maybe she just wanted to chat with someone she knew, but that did lure you out."

"Hmm, it seems everyone is calculating against each other."

After saying these words, Xuanwu Gaoyue did not speak again.

He did nothing after that.

He just stood there quietly, without even blinking.

Neither fighting nor fleeing, it seemed to have transformed into a mirror image that could not move on its own.

Silence had enveloped the entire school building.

Only the still erratic heartbeats echoed in their ears.

It was as if an invisible bell was constantly ringing around them.

This situation posed no problem for Genmu Satsuki; his task was simply to hold off Ryougi Shiki in front of him.

However, the fact that Ryougi-ori was not making any move seemed extremely strange to Genki Satsuki.

Her earlier question, "Your abilities also have flaws, don't they?" kept echoing in his mind.

Yes, Genmu Satsuki's hypnosis techniques do have their limitations.

One is a matter of time.

As the strongest hypnotist among humans, his abilities are not like a magician's suggestion magic; the duration of his power is not determined by the amount of magical energy he outputs.

Rather, it has a certain time limit, just like a "skill".

But it would be foolish to simply wait for the "language" period to end.

His language ability doesn't have a real cooldown period; as long as it's applied again before the current hypnotic effect ends, the effect can be prolonged.

Just do one more before this hypnosis session ends.

The two were unable to see each other at this moment; all they could see was darkness.

Why isn't she moving? Xuanwu Gaoyue pondered to herself.

Xuanwu Gaoyue grew increasingly nervous, her thoughts racing.

Why hasn't Ryougi Ori made a move? She clearly has the ability to retaliate, yet she remains silent, as if waiting for something.

"Is she waiting for the moment her 'disappearance' ends so she can kill me?"

He had this guess in his mind, but immediately dismissed it.

This situation is almost impossible for him, because he is currently in control of the situation, and the hypnotic technique is still in control.

He didn't believe that the Yin-Yang Weaving technique could break through his carefully woven web of consciousness in that instant.

Time ticked by, but Xuanwu Gaoyue's doubts only deepened.

An invisible sense of oppression filled the air, as if every second was being choked by an invisible hand.

The surrounding darkness was gradually receding, and vision was slowly returning to clear.

Genmu Satsuki could sense that the "language" she was using was about to reach its limit.

At this moment, he was at his most vulnerable—the end of the hypnosis meant he needed to immediately fill in the gaps with new "language," otherwise the control would completely collapse.

His vision gradually cleared, and the scene before him reappeared.

Those were a pair of cold blue eyes, as deep as a bottomless abyss.

It was an extreme shade of blue, like a cave in a monastery.

"You can't see anything here!"

Xuanwu Gaoyue's voice instantly transformed into a decree, and the authoritative "unified language" was reactivated, directly affecting the consciousness of those present.

An invisible ripple seemed to appear in the air, instantly blurring the space.

"Even if I can't see you, it doesn't make any difference, since I didn't plan to see you anyway."

Ryougi's voice rang out in the silent space, cold and disdainful.

The Two Elements Weaving finally moved. The next moment, a deadly killing intent swept over everything, and the oppressive feeling slashed towards Xuanwu Gaoyue like a blade.

hum-

Suddenly I heard a sound.

Vibrations emanated from the ground in front of the grass.

......

Ryougi is waiting, but what is she waiting for?

Just as Genmu Satsuki had guessed, she was waiting for the "language" to end.

It does look really stupid.

Even if her eyes caught that brief moment when her vision returned, seeing Xuanwu Gaoyue's death line would be of no use to her.

Even if the eyes see it, the body can't react in time; there's still a certain distance between the two.

Even if you jump over it, it will be dodged instantly.

Therefore, using the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception to capture Genki Satsuki is a pointless endeavor.

However, aside from the issue of time, there is another flaw in Xuanwu Gaoyue's ability.

That was a flaw that had been consistently overlooked and seemed utterly useless.

sound!

This is the medium for language transmission.

It is the most basic element for Xuanwu Gaoyue to exercise her abilities.

Therefore, Genmu Satsuki will ignore it on her own. Perhaps Genmu noticed it, but she cannot use language to silence her voice and thus suppress her ability.

This is courting death.

Ryougi also considered the possibility of directly killing the sound.

But the sounds that people make are produced by the vibration of their vocal cords.
