Not Just Me

"No... no way?"

Tohno Shiki was completely stunned.

"How could you not?"

Arcueid, on the other hand, asserted this with certainty.

"In terms of value, the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception are of the highest level, comparable to magic. If one could obtain them, not only Magus of the Mage's Association, but even the agents of the Holy Church would be tempted to make a move."

Arcueid's words were not an exaggeration at all.

The Magic Eye are able to look directly at death and force their targets toward their end by cutting the Lines of Death.

These Magic Eye are based on the demon god Balor from Celtic Mythology.

In Celtic mythology, Balor was both the king of the Formorian and a demon god who killed gods.

Legend has it that this demon god possesses a Magic Eye, which is usually kept closed. Once opened, anything that is gazed upon by this eye, even a god, will die instantly.

That was a truly demonic Magic Eye capable of killing even gods.

Mystic Eyes of Death Perception may not reach such a terrifying level, in nature they are also Magic Eye capable of inflicting death on their subjects. They can look directly at the lines representing death and force the subject to end by cutting those Death Lines.

Therefore, these Magic Eye are miraculous objects that only exist in mythology. No matter whether the target has an immeasurable lifespan, is practically immortal, or has stored hundreds or thousands of lives, once the Death Lines is cut, it will ignore all the characteristics of Immortal Body and inflict fatal damage that cannot be defended against or cured.

Therefore, even Arcueid, a vampire True Ancestor who could be considered immortal, was still brutally cut into seventeen pieces and killed before those Magic Eye.

This is why Fang Li was amazed that Arcueid was able to be resurrected.

He was killed by a user of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception by cutting the Death Lines, yet he was able to revive?

Isn't that amazing?

It's important to understand that Mystic Eyes of Death Perception cuts through the Death Lines, it doesn't just kill the opponent once; it truly leads them to death and stops their life processes.

True death is not the end of life in form, but the end in concept.

It cannot be controlled, it is inevitable, it is the end of all things.

That is what is called "death".

However, Arcueid used her immense power to forcibly reverse the outcome of her death and thus resurrected.

This result, while causing Arcueid's power to be greatly depleted, leaving only a negligible portion, is still quite surprising.

Of course, this is also because Tohno Shiki cut Arcueid's Death Lines, not the Death Points.

Just as Fang Li once cut through Shudenan's Death Lines, Shudenan also reconstructed his body using the remaining part of his flesh. After Petelgeuse was killed by Fang Li, he also achieved resurrection by transferring his soul.

That is merely physical and spiritual death.

If Tohno Shiki strikes Arcueid's Death Points, Arcueid will be killed in Meaning of Existence and can never be resurrected.

If it were Fang Li, he would also kill Arcueid's soul directly to ensure that Arcueid could never be resurrected.

If it were Ryougi Shiki, it would directly kill its concept.

This is the true power of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.

With such power, how could it not attract the covetous eyes of others?

Putting aside everything else, many Magus see magic as everything would certainly be crazy about these Magic Eye and would go to any lengths to get them.

"After you killed me yesterday, I've been wondering how you were able to do it."

Arcueid's candor is a mixture of resentment and acceptance.

"If it really is the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, then there's nothing we can do."

As someone who clearly understood the value and power of these Magic Eye, Arcueid finally accepted the outcome at this point.

He accepted the outcome of being killed.

In fact, Arcueid has a very simple personality.

Despite having lived for eight hundred years, Arcueid is an innocent and somewhat willful princess.

In Arcueid's view, the law of the True Ancestor, where the strong prey on the weak, is the most natural law.

Arcueid harbored resentment and bitterness over being killed by Tohno Shiki, which is why she sought revenge.

Knowing that she was killed by the Magic Eye, which only exists in mythology, Arcueid actually admitted it.

after all...

"After all, you're a monster."

Arcueid's undisguised bluntness immediately provoked Tohno Shiki's resistance.

"I don't want to be told that by a vampire!"

Tohno Shiki vehemently refuted this.

"Besides, I'm not the only one with these eyes!"

Arcueid was stunned upon hearing this, and it took him a while to react.

"What are you talking about?" Arcueid said with great dissatisfaction, "How could there be such a person as a monster with the Magic Eye of the Age of Gods?"

In some respects, Arcueid was right.

The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception are such an overpowered ability that even in the mythological era it was difficult to reproduce. In today's modern world, where mystery is gradually being replaced by science, it is already a miracle that one possessor exists, and it would be wishful thinking for two to appear.

However, this world is never short of miracles.

The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception are definitely not just a privilege of Tohno Shiki.

There are at least three people in the world who have these eyes.

Although, one of them is not even from this world.

Just as Tohno Shiki was about to say something, Fang Li interrupted him directly.

"Regardless of the circumstances, you can resolve your grudges later."

As he said this, Fang Li looked at Arcueid and spoke.

"Your Highness, if I'm not mistaken, you've come here to hunt down the vampires who are terrorizing the city from the shadows, haven't you?"

In one sentence, everyone's attention was drawn to Fang Li.

The first to react was Tohno Shiki.

"A vampire roaming the shadows of this city?" Tohno Shiki exclaimed in astonishment. "There's another vampire in this city?"

No one paid any attention to Tohno Shiki's astonishment.

Including Arcueid.

"That's right, my goal is to deal with the vampires in this city."

Arcueid frowned, bit her lip, and murmured in a low voice, extremely unwilling.

"However, it's probably not going to work now."

After saying that, Arcueid lay down, grabbed the blanket, and covered herself with it. She seemed both sullen and upset, and said nothing more.

Only Fang Li and Tohno Shiki remained. They looked at each other, one shrugged and the other sighed, completely at a loss for words.

In the end, only Fang Li kept thinking about it silently in his heart.

Even if you can't do it, others might.

Therefore, the battle will begin soon.

Moreover, it is highly likely to happen tonight.
