Own Your Mistakes

However, Bell, who had been focused on easing tensions for a hundred years, forgot that there was a "lunatic" right next to him.

Perhaps his previous complaints gave Bell the illusion that Yomi was still quite normal. But in reality, under the influence of the evil curse of the Killing Stone, Yomi is no longer the kind older sister who, even when angry, would only chase Bell with the back of her sword.

(Can this really be called kindness?)

At this moment, Yomi was a ruthless character who could draw his sword and kill an entire family at the slightest provocation.

Thus, due to Bell's meddling, Yomi, who had survived, gradually began to lose control of his destructive desires.

In addition, he was under the control of the Bell Binding Spell and could not break free no matter how hard he tried.

This feeling of being controlled by others further stimulated Yomi's latent sense of crisis.

"Ah--!"

With a sharp roar, the Killing Stone emerged from between Yomi's eyebrows, flashing a dazzling red light.

The malevolent curse quickly spread across Yomi's body, making him look exactly like a possessed red dog.

"Boom!" "

It was as if a string stretched to its limit had finally snapped.

A wave of energy emanated from Yomi and spread outwards, breaking through the Binding Spell cast by Bell.

Then, Yomi clenched his right hand, and the treasured sword "Lion King" on the ground flew into Yomi's hand automatically.

"Hey! Let's talk this out..."

Whoosh!

Yomi demonstrated with his actions... what a load of rubbish!

Looking at the terrifying knife wound that stretched dozens of meters long on the ground beside him, a bead of cold sweat slid down Bell's forehead.

No, it wasn't like this before!

Even if it's cheating, this improvement is just too outrageous!

He had three layers of Shield Charm on his body, yet he couldn't even withstand a single blow.

Are you even giving people a way to survive?!

If I hadn't sensed the danger and instinctively turned to the side, I might really be split in two by now.

Without giving Bell time to feel the shock, Yomi, having missed his first strike, immediately swung his sword horizontally, aiming to cut Bell in the waist.

Seeing this, Bell, who did not want to be cut in half, stomped his foot and fled rapidly backward amidst a deafening sonic boom.

But before Bell could even catch his breath, another sonic boom rang out, and Yomi's figure vanished from the spot, closely following behind Bell.

"!?"

So which bastard sold Flying Shoes to Japan?!

Okay, it was him...

Incidentally, the pair of Flying Shoes Yomi was wearing were specially made as a gift for the other party after he returned to Britain.

Otherwise, ordinary Flying Shoes sold on the market do not have such strong performance.

"So why was I so shameless back then!"

Bell truly never imagined that he would one day face the Yomi in a life-or-death struggle. Otherwise, he would never have given the other party Flying Shoes as a gift.

Even if you give it away, you should still add a self-destruct system to it...

A series of afterimages flashed through the forest, followed by destruction far exceeding what had followed.

In less than a minute, the area of forest destroyed by Bell and Yomi's battle had already exceeded the damage caused by Yomi and Kagura's battle over 10 minutes.

Bell, who had been pinned down and hacked at by Yomi for nearly a minute, was at a loss for words.

The power that Yomi unleashed with the help of the Killing Stone truly exceeded his expectations.

Even though his opponent's Flying Shoes were clearly inferior in performance, Yomi managed to erase the Flying Shoes gap by relying on the immense magical power within his body, preventing Bell from ever gaining a significant advantage.

At that moment, Bell was filled with regret.

If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have gone up to the other person and pretended to be... cough cough.

Just stand a hundred meters away and casually spout a few sarcastic remarks, and that's it.

However, there's no such thing as a potion to undo mistakes. Snape vouched for it with his title as Potion Master; there was no such Potions.

So, he had to take the blame for his own actions. Bell could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger.

Arcane Burst!

A deep blue magical light shone on Bell, which looked quite well-matched with Yomi, who was covered in red magical light.

But Bell had no intention of engaging Yomi in close combat. Firstly, his rudimentary skills, honed from only a few lessons, made him no match for Yomi. Secondly, even if he could fight, he didn't possess a sword comparable to the Lion King's.

So let's talk about melee combat after his signature two-handed sword is forged.

The azure magic suddenly expanded and exploded outwards.

Under this powerful thrust, Yomi, caught off guard, was sent flying backward, crashing through several large trees before finally landing back on the ground.

Hiss!

Standing there, Bell gasped.

He now felt a constant stinging sensation on every inch of his skin.

That's why he didn't want to use that tactic.

The biggest drawback of this Arcane Burst, besides consuming a lot of magic power, is that the magic power needs to be released from the whole body without going through the Wand.

While this greatly increases the casting speed, it also puts a significant burden on the wizard's body, especially the skin.

One wrong move, and before the enemy even gets hit, the magic has already blasted the caster's skin off. Just thinking about it is enough to make you cringe.

"Don't come any closer!"

"Go and stop those idiots in the Countermeasures Office, don't let them cause me any trouble!"

Suddenly, Bell shouted to one side.

There, Sakamoto, along with several of his underlings, was anxiously trying to rush over to help.

Actually, at the very beginning of the battle, when they saw their Young Master being hacked down without any chance to fight back, they wanted to step in and help Young Master out.

The problem was that these two were simply too fast, and their attacks were far too powerful. Looking at the crisscrossing knife marks on the ground, they couldn't get close, nor dared to.

"But, Young Master..."

Sakamoto wanted to persuade his Young Master to retreat.

The strength that Isayama Yomi is displaying at this moment is many times greater than what was recorded in previous intelligence reports.

Although his Young Master's strength had truly taken him by surprise, anyone with eyes could see that his Young Master had been at a significant disadvantage earlier.

Therefore, it's best to retreat for now and go back to plan further. Once we've figured out a way to counter the power of the Killing Stone, it won't be too late to deal with Isayama Yomi.

Sakamoto didn't believe such a method would exist. Otherwise, the Onmyoji would have used it long ago.

But the Young Master isn't a wizard. Perhaps among those magical Curses, there just happens to be one that can counteract the Killing Stone.

"Obey orders!"

Bell said sternly.

As he spoke, he also fired Magic Power Impact at Yomi, preventing the latter from getting any closer.
