Fulilian: Dominate Aura at the beginning

Chapter 178 The Limits of [Slashing Magic]
"Finally, something that interests me, Your Majesty..."

Because he has always been cautious about the existence of warriors, Agusid is constantly surrounded by slashes that weaken external attacks.

That's why even the [Space Slash], which was personally unleashed by the Demon King, only left a small wound.

Agushid was very familiar with the [Spatial Slash], so he healed the wound on his chest in no time.

However, both the [Global Law] and [Spatial Slash] had been rendered magically nullified by the Demon King—

Therefore, two of the nine slashes on Agushid's body were broken through once again, leaving only four.

But his focus wasn't on his own injuries or the number of attacks he blocked.
Rather, it is the source of the [slashing magic] cast by the Demon King.

"I don't recall you ever being interested in [slashing magic], after all, it's just too energy-consuming..."

"And frankly, I've never believed that anyone other than me could unleash [Spatial Slash]—"

While using his own slashes to neutralize the attacks from the [Global Laws] surrounding him, Agusid looked up and casually asked:

"So, Your Majesty..."

"Can you tell me how you did that?"

The Demon King didn't say anything immediately, but instead increased his magical output, multiplying the number of slashes several times over.

At the same time, his eyes signaled to Agushid to sense the essence of these strikes.

The essence of slashing...

A slash that can perfectly cancel out my attack, a [Spatial Slash] capable of breaking through my defensive slashing attack—

I see……

Agushid was puzzled for long; he only needed to sense it slightly before he got the answer.

But this surprised him even more. The most powerful demon looked at the Demon King with great astonishment and spoke softly.

"This is my strike?"

"Even the composition of the [Spatial Slash] is exactly the same..."

"This is really interesting. How did you manage to copy it so perfectly?"

-

"Has it come to a duel between [Slashing Magic] and [Slashing Magic]?"

Shurahat, perched on a distant cliff, watched everything unfold before him and fell into deep thought.

There is a question that has actually circulated widely among all the great demons...

Even later, Frilian and the Hero of the South were puzzled by this.

That is--

Is the strongest being Agushid, the most powerful demon, or the [Slash Magic], which is hailed as the strongest magic?
Did the [Slashing Magic] make Agushid famous, or did Agushid make the [Slashing Magic] famous?

They all had doubts about this issue.

After all, Agusid's almost hopeless rate of progress and power certainly aroused great curiosity.

But this is not an unanswerable question.

On the contrary, Shurahart had already found the answer to this problem long ago.

—Just as Agushid once said to Frilian.

[Slashing magic] is not something that cannot be learned.

The prerequisite is that Agushid himself is willing to share.

Both Shurahart and Frilian had learned the [Slashing Magic].

Therefore, only after truly mastering the [Slashing Magic] did they understand the answer to that question—

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I've disappointed you."

A hundred years ago, the apology he gave to His Majesty the Demon King after successfully learning the Slash Magic with his Future Sight seemed to be right before Shurahart's eyes.

Even today, he can still clearly remember his frustration and helplessness at that time.

"I still can't master the [Slashing Magic]."

"Let alone creating [Spatial Slash] at will like Agushid, I struggle to control even a normal, ordinary slash." Only those who have truly mastered [Slash Magic] can understand this.

Just what terrifying talents and abilities does Agushid, known as the "most powerful demon," possess?

【Slashing Magic】is different from 【Killing Magic】

Guval's [murder magic] has an extremely simple spell formula and the simplest way to use it.

Gather magical power and direct it towards one or more locations, then release it instantly.

that's it.

Without much control, the [murderous magic] will move directly toward the target without causing any disruption.

Until the magic power emitted is exhausted.

However, the [Slashing Magic] is quite the opposite; it is unimaginably complex.

First of all, the magical reaction of [Slash Magic] is almost impossible to observe, and even the trajectory of its movement is difficult to detect.

This is true even for the owner.

Secondly, the slashes generated by the [Slash Magic] do not actually move automatically toward the target; they must be controlled by the user to move.

Finally, you must constantly and precisely control the magic power of each strike—

If you don't want it to disappear halfway through.

So here's the question: when you and your enemy are both almost completely unaware of a slash—

How do you manipulate those elusive slashes to reach their intended location by relying on a faint perception and connection to them?

At the same time, you must also take into account a series of factors that may damage the magic, such as wind direction and air humidity.

How do you determine in the shortest amount of time how much magic power to apply to a slash to hit your opponent?
And this is only the most basic requirement for using [Slashing Magic].

Agusid's terrifying abilities, such as Spatial Slash, Defensive Slash, and Time Slash, are even more unbelievable.

Is this guy really from the same species as me?

Schulahart did indeed have such doubts.

After learning the [Slashing Magic], Shurahat finally understood why Agushid hadn't recommended that he learn it.

And the reason behind his statement, "Anyway, it's meaningless."

Shurahart could hardly imagine how much effort it would take, or what level of skill it would require to master the [Slashing Magic].

What arduous training and trials did Agushid undergo to wield the [Slashing Magic] and confidently utter that phrase—

"Make it clear, the person standing before you is the most powerful archmage in the world."

-

"Because I learned from Shurahart that no matter how much I refine my [Slashing Magic], it can never compare to my slashing attacks..."

"So that's why you're focusing your ideas on direct imitation?"

"You even referenced the copying magic of the Water Mirror Demon from the mythological era?"

Listen quietly to the Demon King's explanation.
Agushid stared at the aura emanating from him that was similar to that of the [Water Mirror Demon], and suddenly realized.

"You're truly something, Your Majesty..."

"It must be really difficult for you to think of using this method to confront me head-on."

Although he did clap lightly without thinking, Agushid's expression remained calm and indifferent.

But that's not enough—

"It's not enough..."

The most powerful demon chuckled and activated the [Slashing Magic] once again.

"Since you've revealed so many of your cards, I have no choice but to retaliate."

"You old codger, now I'll let you witness firsthand the limits of [Slashing Magic]!!"
