The Neglected White Princess

"Clang—!"

This is the sound of steel colliding with steel, causing sparks to burst forth.

The sound came from an open space next to the mansion.

Surrounded by grass and bathed in sunlight, in a clearing specifically for afternoon tea, Fang Li and Tohno Shiki were currently engaged in battle.

"Drink up! Ahh...

With a powerful shout, Tohno Shiki gripped a sharp knife tightly in his hand and charged towards Fang Li.

He had removed the glasses called "Mystic Eye Killers" from his face, making a pair of Ice-Blue Demon Eyes shine brightly in the sunlight. He stared intently at Fang Li front of him, and without hesitation, he stabbed the knife in his hand into Fang Li's Death Points.

Without a doubt, that was a fatal blow.

If Tohno Shiki were to strike Death Points, even Fang Li would be unable to survive. He would inevitably die on the spot, his very existence wiped out.

However, faced with Tohno Shiki's fatal attack, Fang Li simply commented with a calm expression.

"Stop making meaningless shouts. Although they may boost morale and make inner confusion and hesitation disappear, they are not suitable for us at all. What we need is not momentum, but killing intent."

As he made these comments, Fang Li slowly raised the Moon Blade in his hand and swung it forward.

"Clang—!"

With a crisp clash, the dagger thrusting towards him was deflected by the crescent-shaped blade, causing Tohno Shiki to lose his balance.

"Bang—!"

The next second, a muffled thud was heard.

That was the sound of Fang Li Tohno Shiki.

Tohno Shiki instantly turned into a rolling gourd, tumbling and rolling on the ground until he had rolled several meters before stopping and lying on his back.

"Tick-tock..."

Sweat dripped down Tohno Shiki's body.

"Hahaha..."

It greedily inhaled the air, its breath rising and falling.

Tohno Shiki lay there on his back, spread-eagled, panting and sweating profusely.

"It won't work."

Tohno Shiki opened his mouth as if groaning.

"I can't hold on any longer."

Upon hearing this, Fang Li raised his eyes and walked towards Tohno Shiki's direction.

There wasn't a single trace of strenuous exercise on his body.

And so, Fang Li came to Tohno Shiki was lying on the ground.

"Didn't I tell you not to just keep charging forward and swinging your sword?" Fang Li said to Tohno Shiki, "Both your charging trajectory and attack trajectory are too one-dimensional. It's okay against mindless monsters like the Dead, but against a skilled fighter, you can forget about hitting them at all."

Just like Fang Li when he first Main God Space, he could handle the Kabane who would only pounce on their prey in a straight line, but he would be in trouble if he faced a samurai who was used to fighting.

Even with the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, it's the same.

"For those of us with these eyes, the focus shouldn't be on the power or damage of our attacks, but on how to make them hit. If we can achieve that, we're invincible," Fang Li said with the air of someone who's been there. "So, don't let others see through your attacks so easily. Instead, as I said before, make good use of your body and then let your instincts decide."

"It's easy to say..." Tohno Shiki protested. "But how do you actually rely on your body and instinct to make decisions?"

"Simply put, just focus on killing your opponent," Fang Li explained succinctly. "Your body already 'knows' how to fight. Therefore, instead of thinking about how to fight, focus on how to discard unnecessary thoughts and wholeheartedly devote yourself to the killing."

Fang Li was referring to was naturally the Seven Nights Assassination Technique.

Tohno Shiki was already skilled in the Seven Nights Assassination Technique.

Although it was only the basic self-defense technique part of the Seven Nights Assassination Technique, it was a killing skill that Tohno Shiki Nanaya, and it had long been engraved into his body's instincts.

Therefore, once Tohno Shiki's Seven Nights Blood awakens, stirring up his demon-slaying impulses and making him only think about killing his target, or if he is forced into a desperate situation, he will naturally use the techniques from the Seven Nights Assassination Technique.

With the unpredictable and extraordinary attacks and movements of the Seven Nights Assassination Technique, combined with the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, even if Tohno Shiki's physical abilities are not as strong as when his Exorcism impulse is awakened, it is still enough to deal with some enemies.

At least that way, the mere existence of the dead would pose no threat to Tohno Shiki.

Fang Li is doing now is to get Tohno Shiki used to fighting and to help him recall the killing techniques ingrained in his body.

If he can do that, Tohno Shiki will be able to fight independently.

Later in the original story, Tohno Shiki used the basic self-defense techniques from the Seven Nights Assassination Technique, along with his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, which were specifically designed to target humans, to kill countless powerful vampires and become feared by the Dead Apostle.

Once the techniques of the Seven Nights Assassination Technique are awakened, Tohno Shiki will be able to gradually improve his physical abilities and develop the extraordinary physical potential of the Seven Nights Clan.

After all, the Seven Nights Assassination Technique is a technique that pushes the human body to its limits.

Even basic self-defense techniques are sufficient for Tohno Shiki.

Unaware of this, Tohno Shiki could only utter a somewhat bitter sound.

"To throw oneself into the killing?"

Clearly, Tohno Shiki does not want to see himself become Killer Demon.

Fang Li didn't say anything about this, except for this one sentence.

"Think about it carefully yourself, and continue after you've rested."

After saying that, Fang Li left Tohno Shiki behind and walked towards the shade of a tree.

"Mmm~~~"

There, Arcueid sat on the grass, propping his chin up and puffing out his cheeks, looking like he was sulking.

Looking at Arcueid like this, Fang Li spoke speechlessly.

"Are you a squirrel? Why are you puffing out your cheeks like that?"

This single sentence immediately provoked a strong reaction from Arcueid.

"Because I'm so bored!" Arcueid said angrily. "You all ignore me, you don't chat with me, you don't go out with me, and you just leave me all alone!"

As she said this, Arcueid's expression grew increasingly angry, as if she had truly harbored resentment for a long time.

Seeing the True Ancestor Princess completely throwing a tantrum, Fang Li became increasingly speechless.

However, Arcueid is not wrong.

Arcueid has been largely ignored these days.
