CH 5.28

I increased the speed of flow of the magic power in my internal magic circuit from two to three times.

Blood vessels near the surface of my body rose to the surface and blood flowed out of my eyes.

Normally, all organs and blood vessels would have been reinforced with magic power but as expected, my body hasn’t had enough time to be rebuilt yet.

It will still take time to strengthen my cells on a daily basis.

However, there’s nothing I can do right now.

I know that’s a bit too much to ask.

Susanoo, who saw the change in me, also took up his big sword behind him and began to gather strength.

He must be planning to decide the battle with one blow.

At the same time I kicked the floor, Susanoo raised his sword toward the sky.

Light extended from his big sword that pierced through the ceiling of the kagura hall.

Ridiculous!

While we were fighting, I was analyzing the magic in the kagura hall. I found that it was an extremely special technique that can be described as “It’s there but it’s not”.

In short, it is in a realm in which it is impossible for humans to interfere.

It can be said that it’s on the same level as the effect of erasing the human memories when a variant eats someone.

Perhaps it is an extended version of this.

Susanoo lifted the edge of his mouth and bared his sharp fangs.

The Kusanagi sword swung down, slicing through the ceiling of the kagura hall.

It was easy to avoid.

However, Yui is on its path.

And this bastard is doing this on purpose!

There’s no time to analyze the characteristics of the technique.

I don’t even know what will happen if I touch that light.

However, if I can block it, I will win.

Someone unleashing such a big move, even if it’s Susanoo, would run out of gas.

The surface of his body is already peeling off like dried paint with cracks here and there.

I’m in my triple mode so I would be able to catch that sword no matter how much power Susanoo put on it.

However, there’s that light….

That light seems to have the property of denying the existence of the things it touches and it’s coming to me while “cutting and shattering” the roof of the kagura den.

It is an existence denial technique so how can it push matter?

Could it be—-!

-0-

I held the sword at my waist and concentrated all my magic power on strengthening the muscles in my right hand.

Just as the Kusanagi sword was about to reach Yui’s hand, who’s tied to the ceiling, I raised my sword with all my might.

-0-

As soon as the swords touched each other, I felt the bones in my right arm shattering from the loss of magic power but I had no time to think about it.

The blow, with enough force to blow the road roller out of the stratosphere, only slightly deflected the Kusanagi sword’s trajectory.

But that’s enough!

-0-

The Kusanagi sword easily broke through the barrier I had placed on Yui, cut some of her hair that was blown by the wind pressure, and pierced through the floor.

The shattered roof fell to the floor.

The silencing magic also seemed to have been cut at the same time.

「Uoooooooooooo!」

I switched my sword from my right hand, which had shattered, to my left and slashed at Susanoo, who stopped moving after using a big move.

My purpose is to cut off Susanoo’s arms from his shoulders.

Now, he can’t use his sword.

Even though his magic power is almost exhausted, I won’t let my guard down.

As I raise my sword again to cut Susanoo’s body in two—

「Don’t! Kazu!」

I was stopped by Yui’s shout.
