Body Separation

Seeing the Shikigami Byakuei devouring him, Bell almost cursed out of anger.

So he clearly came to help, so why did these two women hit him instead?

Can't we be reasonable?!

An enraged Bell decided to abandon any talk of Martial Morality.

He waved his right hand at Byakuei, and a snake's head quickly grew larger, knocking Byakuei flying.

"Here, have a little snake, you little brat, go play somewhere else!"

The Ten Thousand Snakes flew out, and one of their tails whipped Kagura away as she charged forward.

"Kagura—!"

Watching his sister disappear from sight, Yomi let out a cry of grief and indignation.

"Don't worry, she's fine."

Seeing that Yomi was showing signs of going berserk a second time, Bell quickly tried to calm him down.

If Yomi were to unleash his full power again, he would have no choice but to fight desperately as well.

In that case, he couldn't guarantee whether Yomi would still be able to fight after the battle was over.

Hearing that his sister Kagura was alright, Yomi finally managed to regain some composure.

Even though Yomi's strength did not increase further, due to Kagura's previous interference, the advantage that Bell had painstakingly accumulated had already vanished.

The battle resumed, and facing Yomi's ghostly and swift figure, Bell had no choice but to risk his life to bring his opponent closer.

There was no way around it; if the distance was too great, his Curses simply wouldn't hit the opponent.

Moreover, the crimson cursed power on Yomi's body was also a major headache for Bell.

The aftershocks of some area-of-effect Curses were unable to penetrate the protective layer of spell power and thus affect Yomi himself.

While carefully dodging Yomi's sword attacks, Bell cast ice Curses to try and slow down Yomi's movements.

Suddenly, as Bell flashed and appeared above a previously left knife mark, a crimson light suddenly flashed from the bottomless knife mark.

A blade of energy composed of magical power struck Bell squarely.

It turns out that after making so many cuts without actually hitting the slippery Bell, Yomi instinctively set up a trap.

Although her intelligence is currently offline, her combat instincts, honed over many years, allow her to react instinctively without needing to think.

Seeing Bell being sent flying into the air, Yomi lowered his body, briefly gathered his strength, and then charged straight at Bell at an even faster speed than before.

She was determined to strike and cut her opponent in two!

Whoosh!

The long sword sliced through the air, as if even light itself was being cut apart.

As it turns out, Yomi's confidence was not without reason.

The Lion King swept across Bell's waist without any hindrance, splitting him into two parts.

But unexpectedly, Yomi did not show any joy of victory on his face. Instead, he frowned in confusion.

Based on the feedback from [The Lion King], Yomi was certain that her strike had not hit Bell's body.

Even if the Lion King is incredibly sharp and can cut through a hair with a single blow, it still can't cut through flesh and bones as effortlessly as it can through the air.

However, Yomi could clearly see from the visual perspective that she had indeed cut Bell in half at the waist.

After all, Bell in the air had now separated into upper and lower halves. At such close range, she could tell that both halves were indeed Bell's physical form, not an illusion.

Besides, given her previous fierce attack, the opponent wouldn't have had a chance to cast an illusion and deceive her.

Just as Yomi was wondering and about to chop Bell into pieces, Bell's upper body moved.

He suddenly swung his arm backward, and a long-prepared Curses was accurately fired at Yomi's back before he could turn around.

Faced with Bell's long-planned attack, Yomi, who had just unleashed a full-force strike, had no time to dodge.

Left with no other choice, she could only draw upon the collective power of the Killing Stone's curse to form a thick protective layer of curse power behind her.

Like a drill, Bell's Curses broke through the protective magical energy on Yomi's body.

Then, when the magic of the Curses was exhausted, another Curses hidden within it was revealed and struck Yomi in the back without any hindrance.

It turns out that Bell just cast was actually a combination Curses.

The exterior is a Sectumsempra, but in order to enhance its armor-piercing ability, Bell specifically changed the shape of the Sectumsempra to a drill shape.

Inside, wrapped by the Sectumsempra, was an Freezing Curse.

Just like an armor-piercing projectile used to fight tanks, once the Sectumsempra breaks through the enemy's defenses, the Freezing Curse will attack the target's body without any hindrance.

Just like now, extreme cold erupted from Yomi's body. Even with the continuous curse power provided by the Killing Stone, Yomi's body was still frozen and fell straight towards the ground.

"Wingardium Leviosa!"

Bell, who was also falling towards the ground, quickly cast a Levitation Charm on his upper body.

He's completely unprotected right now. If he falls like that, he won't get seriously injured, but he'll definitely feel pain!

After stabilizing his upper body, Bell finally had time to look at his lower body.

At this moment, his lower body was wearing Flying Shoes, and he was flying through the air.

"..."

Bell couldn't help but reveal his signature dead fish eyes once again.

So what exactly is going on now?

To be continued...

Cough cough!

Okay, I'll just say it this time.

As mentioned before, Cultivator are not as skilled at Transfiguration as wizards.

Just as the Europe Druid left behind Animagus Transfiguration, the ancient Cultivator who focused on combat for a hundred years... far more, also left behind many amazing Human Transfiguration, which were later categorized into the Thirty-Six Celestial Warriors and Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends, totaling one hundred and eight spell systems.

It should be emphasized here that these 108 types refer to a system of spells, not specific spells.

Some systems contain a large number of spells, while others contain only one. The variations are numerous.

The Bell used to dodge Yomi's fatal blow was the [Body Separation] spell from the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Arts.

[Body Separation] means being able to separate different parts of the body without causing any damage.

Of course, this separation can only be temporary. And if someone accidentally takes the separated part and runs away, you'll have to rush to the hospital; there might still be a chance to save it.

Bell had only a basic grasp of this amazing Human Transfiguration, and today was the first time he used it in actual combat.

Therefore, he has no control over the separated parts at all.

He clearly wanted to control his lower body and return to his normal state, but it seemed that his legs were somewhat unruly and free-spirited.
