Miracle of the Mythological Age

— He was killed.

The most realistic sense of terror swept over Tohno Shiki's entire body.

But who can be blamed for this?

Tohno Shiki killed Arcueid once.

Given that, it's only natural for them to seek revenge.

In fact, Arcueid was only thinking about killing Tohno Shiki yesterday, and as soon as he found Tohno Shiki, he immediately launched an attack.

Arcueid has not yet given up on killing Tohno Shiki.

In response, Fang Li calmly interjected.

"Putting aside the grudges between you, it's best not to fight here, or it could get very troublesome."

After all, there is a mixed-race person who is not human in this family.

If Arcueid goes berserk here, it will likely escalate into an unavoidable massacre.

"Besides, your current condition doesn't allow you to move around recklessly anymore, does it?"

Fang Li glanced at Arcueid and spoke casually.

"Although you were killed because of a sneak attack, since you couldn't avoid being torn apart by this person even in your prime, now that you're both seriously injured and greatly weakened, if you still intend to fight back, you might very well be killed in return."

The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception pose such a threat.

Arcueid couldn't possibly be unaware of this.

At that moment, Arcueid stared straight at Tohno Shiki, and before Tohno Shiki could help but swallow hard, she asked a question.

How did you do that?

The sudden question caught Tohno Shiki and made him somewhat slow to react.

Looking at Tohno Shiki like this, Arcueid emphasized.

"I'm asking you how you killed me."

It's perfectly normal to have this question.

Keep in mind that Arcueid is the princess of the True Ancestor. Not to mention humans, even beings of the same level would find it difficult to kill Arcueid.

However, yesterday, Arcueid was swiftly and decisively killed by Tohno Shiki.

In a situation where there was absolutely no suspense.

"Judging from your appearance, you don't seem to know magic. Could it be that you used some kind of Age of Gods treasure?"

Arcueid glared at Tohno Shiki.

Its appearance was less like a vampire that feeds on human blood and more like an angry cat with its cheeks puffed out—it was absolutely adorable.

However, this was indeed the only remaining question in Arcueid's mind.

"At least, you should let me die knowing why."

Arcueid made such a public statement.

"I have never been dismembered into seventeen pieces like this before, let alone by a human being."

This is what the True Ancestor Princess, who has lived for eight hundred years, said.

Tohno Shiki's expression became somewhat conflicted.

A person who was killed by themselves, or even dismembered by themselves, has now not only come back to life, but is also saying to themselves, "How did you kill me?" and "Let me die knowing why." I believe no one has ever had such an experience before.

However, Tohno Shiki could not refuse Arcueid's request.

No matter what, he had killed this girl.

This responsibility must be borne no matter what.

only...

"But I don't know how to explain it either," Tohno Shiki said hesitantly, scratching his head. "However, Fang Li did mention that I seem to possess some kind of Mystic Eyes of Death Perception?"

Upon hearing this, Arcueid's breath suddenly stopped.

Immediately afterwards, Arcueid's gaze towards Tohno Shiki changed.

That was no longer a hostile gaze, but the gaze one would give a monster.

"... Really?"

Arcueid spoke in a low voice.

"The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, do such things really exist?"

Seeing Arcueid's reaction, Tohno Shiki was completely bewildered.

Only Fang Li knew that this reaction was perfectly normal.

Because the so-called Mystic Eyes of Death Perception are such an existence.

However, if we were to actually explain it, it would probably take a very long time.

So, Fang Li spoke to Tohno Shiki in this way.

Do you know magic?

Upon hearing Fang Li's words, Tohno Shiki was slightly taken aback.

"Magic?" Tohno Shiki asked uncertainly. "You mean that magic trick performed in the circus?"

"You're probably the only one in this industry who can treat magic as a trick," Fang Li chuckled. "So- Fang Li magic refers to the general term for the act of artificially recreating mystery and miracles. In terms of what you can understand, it's like magic or some kind of power."

However, in this world, magic and sorcery are absolutely not comparable.

Because magic refers to the mysterious ability to miraculously reproduce things that humans can do through personal power.

For example, humans can use props to start a fire, but Magus rely on consuming their own magical power to construct spells and rituals, thus creating fire out of thin air, just like magicians and spirit users in the previous world.

Magic, on the other hand, refers to miracles that are absolutely impossible for humans to achieve.

Therefore, nowadays, there are countless magic tricks, but only five types of magic, and only four magicians who can use magic, which is a miracle among miracles.

"The Magic Eye is the ability to transform the eyes, which are originally used to receive information from the outside world, into things that actively influence the outside world. It does not require the use of spells or rituals; it can be used simply by looking at the eyes."

Fang Li explained it this way.

"In other words, it is an eye that can affect all targets within its field of vision with the magic carried in the eyeball. Once a target is seen by the Magic Eye, it will be trapped in the magic and unable to defend itself. Therefore, having the Magic Eye can be proof of being a first-class Magus."

"The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception are one such existence."

Just as Fang Li was explaining so casually, Arcueid couldn't help but interrupt.

"What do you mean by 'this kind of existence'? They're not the same thing at all!"

Arcueid fixed her sharp gaze on Tohno Shiki.

"Generally speaking, artificial Magic Eye can only have the ability to charm and suggest at most. If it is a powerful Magic Eye eye such as binding, coercion, contract, burning, illusion, bad luck or even petrification, then it is an innate talent that cannot be reproduced even by magic. It is Noble Colour among Magic Eye."

"And the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception are Noble Colour among Noble Colour, a miracle that even mythology cannot replicate."

Arcueid's gaze toward Tohno Shiki grew increasingly sharp.

"To possess eyes that can look directly into death, one must be like the Grim Reaper. How could it be something so simple?"

"If modern Magus knew that there were those eyes here, they would swarm to them like bees attracted by honey, and would do anything to get their hands on them."
