"Are you... joking?"
Hearing Blood Moon White Robe once again offer the same choice he had made after their clash a year ago, Silver Moon Black Robe fell silent for a while. Then he raised his head. The scarlet gleam in the place of his left eye beneath the hood seemed to deepen, and a cold voice escaped his lips.
"Do you really think I'd still resort to such petty tricks at this point? What you're afraid of is nothing more than being unable to protect them again after reviving them. As for resurrection, once you have my eyes..."
Hearing this, Blood Moon White Robe did not seem displeased by the same distrust as a year ago. He merely said calmly.
Though his tone remained calm, it carried a trace of patient persuasion.
"It's Hirohiko's eyes!"
Before he could finish his patiently persuasive words, Silver Moon Black Robe cut him off with a shout. An irrepressible viciousness had already entered his voice.
"...Very well."
After being interrupted, Blood Moon White Robe nearly choked. After a long pause, he took a deep breath and said, "No matter what, you should know enough about the Reincarnation of Life and Death Technique. There are several ways to revive someone. Besides, you've preserved their bodies, so there shouldn't be any problem."
This bastard!
Hearing that, Silver Moon Black Robe's heart sank again.
He already knows I preserved their bodies? Was that a half-threat?
As his heart sank, that thought naturally surfaced in his mind.
Leaving aside the Reincarnation of Life and Death Technique Blood Moon White Robe had mentioned, the bodies he referred to were naturally those of Silver Moon Black Robe's Teacher and close friend. He had indeed preserved them.
Mentioning it now might have sounded like an accidental remark from Blood Moon
