A Narrow Path?
During this time together, Bell had already made some deductions.
Now, Bell has basically confirmed his hypothesis. "Yomi cannot use magic."
Of course, "cannot" doesn't mean Yomi is completely incapable of using any magic. At least on the first day they met, Yomi used a spell similar to a "Muggle Repelling Charm."
However, apart from that one time, Bell never saw the other party use magic again.
When faced with problems, Yomi always resolves them by summoning the Ran Honglian.
This is why, when the three of them go out together every day, Bell and Shanna are fine, while Yomi is exhausted.
"Gege, what do we do? Should we go now?"
The little girl asked eagerly.
"No rush, let's take a look first."
If it were just Bell alone, he would have already attacked without hesitation, just like when he faced the Acromantula.
But this time, with Shanna around, Bell naturally had to be more careful.
Furthermore, Bell didn't have a general idea of what kind of opponent a so-called B-Rank Evil Spirit actually was. So, just to be safe, he decided to observe the situation first before deciding what to do next.
"Oh..."
Shanna responded somewhat dejectedly. However, the little girl still did not disobey her Gege's arrangements.
Bell reached out and ruffled Shanna's hair, then looked up at Yomi's retreating figure.
Frankly, Bell felt that the other party had narrowed their own path.
It's not just the Yomi; Bell speculates that the paths taken by Onmyoji have all become too narrow.
Although Bell hasn't come into contact with any other Onmyoji yet, Yomi, as the next heir to the Isayama Family headship, is considered to be at the top of the Curse World. If even she's in this state, one can only imagine the state of the other Onmyoji.
In Bell's view, magic is an all-powerful force. It can be used not only to destroy, but also to create.
Therefore, the Onmyoji's approach of focusing solely on destruction and increasing combat power will undoubtedly limit their future development.
Of course, most people may never feel this limitation. After all, not everyone can reach that level.
Moreover, due to their focus, ordinary Onmyoji might even be more powerful than ordinary wizards.
Judging from the speed Yomi is currently exhibiting, Bell estimates that 50% of wizards will lose their heads before they can react. Moreover, Bell speculates that the current speed is probably not Yomi's limit.
Thinking about it carefully, it's actually quite terrifying. After all, Yomi is still a student at Hogwarts at his current age. And at this point, his opponent's direct combat strength is already enough to overwhelm more than half of the adult wizards.
Considering Japan's historically harsh living conditions, perhaps the Onmyoji's choice is the "winning" path?
Using the path opened up by the Ran Honglian, Yomi quickly approached the "Train".
Yomi avoided the D-level evil spirits along the way that she could. For those she couldn't avoid, Yomi dealt with them in the most efficient way possible. She didn't have any extra energy to waste on these small fry.
Soon, Yomi arrived near the "Train." The "Train" clearly sensed the threat. It raised its forelimbs and slammed them down hard at Yomi.
However, the ' Train ' was too slow, and Yomi dodged its attack in a flash. Just as she was about to leap up and sever Train ' Train's' head, its forelimbs slammed into the ground, causing the earth to tremble violently.
Normally, Yomi could ignore this level of tremor simply by slightly controlling the contraction of his leg muscles.
But today, exhausted Yomi felt a sudden weakness in his legs, and his jump was immediately interrupted.
Left with no other choice, Yomi disregarded all decorum. She rolled away to avoid the flames spewed from the "Train" and hid behind a pile of rubble.
The scattered stones and wood fragments on the broken ground tore through Yomi's outer garment, revealing her fair skin underneath. Bloodstains appeared on Yomi's body, adding a touch of tragic beauty to her appearance.
Using the ruins as cover, Yomi kept dodging the "Train's" attacks, playing hide-and-seek with it.
Generally speaking, evil spirits are not very intelligent. The desire for destruction permeates their entire being, causing them to abandon thinking and focus solely on destroying everything in their path.
Therefore, after repeatedly failing to catch the "little bug" in front of it, the "Train" became increasingly violent. It curled its body into a wheel shape, with flames burning fiercely on its back, covering the outer rim of the wheel.
The Train's rapid roll generated immense destructive power. Everything in its path, whether ruins or skyscrapers, was crushed to dust.
But the more powerful the move, the more difficult it is to control. So after rolling around for a while, the "Train" completely lost track of Yomi.
It stopped its special move—the "Invincible Flaming Wheel"—and looked around blankly.
Bell understood why Yomi always wore her black sailor uniform. On a night like this, the all-black outfit, combined with Yomi's long, black hair, made her look like she was wearing a Night Clothes; someone with poor eyesight would hardly be able to see her.
Meanwhile, the flames lit by the Train, while illuminating many places, also made the darkness in the shadows even deeper.
In Bell's view, Yomi was taking advantage of the darkness to quickly approach the "Train" from behind.
"Gege, are we really just going to watch like this?"
Shanna was a little unhappy. The little girl preferred acting to watching. Of course, she only acted for her Gege.
Incidentally, with Shanna's current abilities, she wouldn't be able to pinpoint Yomi's location in such chaotic darkness. That's why the little girl is now wearing Enchantment Glasses.
The Enchantment Glasses Enchantment Glasses a magical artifact developed by Bell, inspired by the Magic Eye Mad-Eye Moody, used to detect invisibility. They can also be used to observe subtle traces of magic.
Therefore, after Shanna put on the Enchantment Glasses, Yomi's figure was as conspicuous as the bright moon in the night sky.
"Don't rush, wait a little longer. Don't worry, Shanna, your Gege will definitely let you have a great time tonight."
Bell glanced discreetly to his side and smiled reassuringly.
Compared to the Magic Eye, the Enchantment Glasses have both advantages and disadvantages.
Its advantage is that it is easy to use; you can put it on and take it off whenever you want.
The downside is that the viewing range of the Enchantment Glasses is limited by the field of vision, and you can only see about 120 degrees in front of you.
Therefore, even if you wear the Enchantment Glasses, you can't be careless, otherwise you might miss some potential threats.
