I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

It's not that I'm afraid of anything, it's just that I want to win—

Where are you going to run off to?

"Fearless!"

boom----

This time, the magical tentacles didn't strike Kurokawa and Miya, but instead pierced through the wall beside them, sending countless pebbles hurtling towards them.

Watching Kurokawa Kazuya nimbly dodge the countless rocks, Araya Souren gritted his teeth: "So... it's magic resistance? Why would a mere human possess something like this!"

This is simply the bane of magicians.

Araya Sōren has many tricks up his sleeve, but—in front of Kurokawa Kazuya, most of his moves that could be considered lethal become completely non-existent.

Even if you use it, it's just a waste of your magic power.

"Who knows? But can you stop running now? I didn't expect you to be so agile—"

There's no escaping it!

Araya Sōren gritted her teeth; this guy was faster than her.

The distance was constantly closing, even though he was destroying the surrounding roads and throwing rubble behind him.

In that case, they will be caught up soon.

So--

There was no other way but to escape there!

Since escape is impossible, but... even if I really don't want to fight, I have to take action. Go there—there's still a chance of winning there!

"Why are you chasing me like this? What did you see—?"

Araya Sōren ran while trying to buy time.

*Pfft*

next moment.

A throwing knife pierced his thigh, and golden ripples spread from there throughout his body.

boom--

Araya Sōren fell forward!

Blood gushed out violently from the wound!

However, Araya Sōren, who had fallen to the ground, sank directly into the ground and disappeared.

"They ran away... but thankfully we're still in contact."

Kurokawa Kazuya put away the other daggers in his hands.

Although this thing looks like it's made of steel, it's not actually made of steel. It's made of animal bones, and there's even liquid flowing inside, with excellent wave conductivity.

Although the ripples are not very lethal to humans, they can easily cause paralysis of the whole body for a short period of time.

Moreover, how could someone with such injuries possibly escape!

We must eliminate this threat right now...right here, so that the threat will be gone.

Chapter 356 Araya Sōren's Methods

"Here..." Looking at the building in front of me.

It was obvious that Araya Sōren stopped after running inside.

In other words, is there a possibility of defeating oneself here again?

'Anyway, it's better to be careful.' Kurokawa Kazuya didn't rush in, but pondered for a moment. Generally speaking, he was far superior to magicians.

After being targeted by A-level magic resistance.

These magicians have become much less of a threat to him, especially the more elite the magician.

And...someone like Araya Souren, who is so close to the source...and almost succeeded, and who has the ability to unlock a person's origin ability...is undoubtedly the elite among elites.

But precisely because of this, they are targeted even more severely.

However... there are also some methods that I can no longer use.

Magic Eye——

It's unusable.

Using it would be a waste.

He had tried both force and darkness during the previous pursuit, and unsurprisingly, he failed.

Buddha's relics.

Araya Sōren has such a thing in his hands.

It can even withstand the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.

Therefore, it's not impossible to disable Kurokawa Kazuya's Mystic Eyes.

The Demon Eye ultimately relies on the "seen" element as a weapon. Therefore, once one's own "seen" element becomes 0, no matter how advanced the Demon Eye is, it will be useless.

Simply put...

The Mystic Eyes are ineffective against beings with Akarin-like attributes who are often overlooked...

Araya Sōren is a different kind.

The light emanating from the Buddha's relics was too dazzling.

Even if it's hidden in his hands, even if the Buddha relic is generally invisible...

Buddha's relics are, after all, Buddha's relics.

It attracted all of Kurokawa and Mima's attacks, so naturally it couldn't affect Araya Sōren.

and...

Because of their inherent characteristics, Buddha relics cannot be forcibly or stripped of their five senses...

This resulted in the current effect—the Magic Eye is nullified.

"That's a really good thing, that Buddha relic."

Kurokawa Kazuya walked inside as he spoke.

If you want to defeat him, you have to go inside; you can't defeat him if you don't come to his face!

"Let's end it all here, Araya Sōren!"

Although I don't know if this building meets the standards of the Ogawa Apartments, I still want to go in and take a look. If it's not up to par, I can always run back later, otherwise...

If we just blow this place up, we might not be able to get the Buddha's relics.

......

"Hoo hoo——"

He pulled the dagger out of his leg, tearing out a large chunk of flesh.

The tip of the dagger, like a snake, trembled slightly as it twisted and went inside his leg.

"My origin is stillness, so this level of injury shouldn't affect my movement—"

Golden lightning bolt-like things were attached to the wound.

It wasn't magic, but it was indeed eroding the wound. Although the process was slow, it was difficult to remove, much like a struggle between lives.

This is his magic workshop.

but...

It's not finished yet.

He only began building this workshop after discovering Ryougi Shiki's anomaly. And... the magic workshop he wanted to complete his plan was still in the design stage, and hadn't even started construction yet.

So... naturally, he didn't put too much material into it.

The barrier wasn't perfect either.

However, the Magic Workshop is, after all, the Magic Workshop.

It remains his stronghold, his temple.

Here, he will unleash power far exceeding that of the outside world; escape will be impossible.

Kurokawa and Miya were pursuing them too closely.

No matter how far I ran, he could inexplicably catch up... Since that's the case, I have no choice but to take action, even if the odds of winning are not high.

"I have a Buddha relic buried in my left hand, so even his Mystic Eyes can't affect me... But although I don't know why, that feeling... it must be a Mystic Code that can nullify magic, or a high-level Magic Resistance... Either way, the effect is the same... which means most of my magic is useless now."

boom----!

"Hmm, have they caught up already?"

Araya Souren, hearing the commotion below, said, "Fine... I'll finish you off right here and clear away the restraining force!"

......

Inhibition force —

To be honest, Kurokawa Kazuya had thought of this from the beginning as well.

Is the inhibitory force intervening in this situation?

Otherwise, it would be too much of a coincidence... I just decided to walk instead of driving on a whim, and that's how I ran into Araya Sōren.

Furthermore, even on a sunny day, he wouldn't be able to track Araya Sōren.

With his methods, he would have escaped long ago.

But it just so happens to rain today...

but...
