"**Pū Chī---!**"
Another abrupt slash sound echoed across the night sky.
While Arcueid and Nrvnqsr were still in shock, Fang Li had already lowered his gaze to stare at the black mud covering his feet. The Ogre Lux in his hand suddenly flashed, slicing through the incredibly hard black mud-like paper.
As a result, the black mud that had just flowed like a thick liquid suddenly lost its life force, burst into black droplets, and scattered in all directions.
The soil of creation that Nrvnqsr had created with over two hundred wild animal factors, capable of binding even a high-ranking Dead Apostle, turned into lifeless puddles.
"Impossible!" Nrvnqsr couldn't help but exclaim once again.
This was the first time that Nrvnqsr showed such a loss of self-control.
There were three reasons for this.
First, the fact that his Demon Beast was dealt with swiftly and decisively.
That was a Demon Beast.
A creature beyond the natural order, a symbol of ferocious beasts from legends.
Its very existence was tantamount to a mystery, a miraculous phenomenon akin to magic. To face such a level of Mystery, nothing short of a Grand Magician, just below the rank of a Reality Marble, could possibly surpass the power of a Demon Beast.
Yet, Fang Li had killed such a Demon Beast with nothing but pure slashes.
It was like a dream.
The second reason was the disintegration of the Soil of Creation.
The soil created by over two hundred wild beast factors had the mass of a mountain.
In other words, without the power to shatter a mountain, one couldn't break free from the bondage of the Soil of Creation.
However, Fang Li had completely destroyed that power with a single pure slash.
How could Nrvnqsr believe that?
Of course, there was another fact that Nrvnqsr found even more unbelievable.
"The wild beast factors didn't return to my body?"
Nrvnqsr exclaimed in shock.
"This is impossible!"
The 666 wild beast factors integrated into Nrvnqsr's body had already merged with him, each factor becoming a part of his body.
Even if these factors were killed externally, they would return to Nrvnqsr's body unless he consciously controlled them otherwise.
Thus, Nrvnqsr had 666 lives. Even if he was killed once, ten times, or even a hundred times, he would immediately resurrect. Only by killing all 666 lives simultaneously could he truly be killed.
But at that moment, Nrvnqsr realized.
The wild beast factors that represented his life storage had not returned to his body; instead, they had lost their life force.
The over two hundred factors used to create the Soil of Creation.
The three hundred factors used to create the demon beasts.
Over five hundred factors, five hundred lives, were completely lost at that moment.
Because...
"They've already been killed."
Fang Li spoke indifferently.
"Once killed in front of these eyes, it's impossible for them to resurrect."
Upon hearing Fang Li's words, Nrvnqsr finally realized.
Not only Nrvnqsr, but even Arcueid realized.
They realized the nature of those ice-blue Mystic Eyes.
Mystic Eyes that seemed to be capable of completely erasing temperature and obliterating life itself, were now in front of the True Ancestor Princess and the high-ranking Dead Apostle.
"These are..."
Before Nrvnqsr could react, Arcueid's crimson eyes suddenly narrowed.
For one simple reason.
Because she had seen those eyes before.
She had seen them at the moment of her own death.
From the body of the boy named Tohno Shiki.
So Arcueid knew all too well.
Arcueid knew the true nature of those eyes.
"Mystic Eyes of Death Perception..."
Arcueid's murmured words, like a dream, clearly reached Nrvnqsr's ears.
"What did you say?"
Nrvnqsr was surprised.
"Mystic Eyes of Death Perception?"
Impossible!
That's absolutely impossible!
"How could Mystic Eyes from the Age of Gods appear in this world?"
In this world, Mystic Eyes were not particularly rare.
However, it depended on the rank of the Mystic Eyes.
Ordinary artificial Mystic Eyes were just the tricks of mages, insignificant to high-ranking Dead Apostles like Nrvnqsr.
Even innate Mystic Eyes, which were considered exceptional, could not affect high-level Dead Apostles unless they were extremely powerful.
Even powerful exception-rank Mystic Eyes could be dealt with by someone like Nrvnqsr, who ranked tenth among the Twenty-Seven Ancestors.
Arcueid, the True Ancestor Princess, did possess a pair of powerful innate Mystic Eyes.
But those couldn't compare to the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.
The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception existed only in the domain of gods, evaluated by Arcueid to be on par with the Mystery of Magic in terms of value.
This rank of Mystery had only five types in the world, with only four current users.
Even Reality Marble was only considered the closest to Magecraft, and their value did not match that of the True Magic.
Yet, Mystic Eyes of Death Perception had that potential.
Such Mystic Eyes had never been possessed by anyone, not even by humans, but by extraordinary beings throughout history.
In the myths, they were limited to the Magic God Balor, who possessed the prototype.
These Mystic Eyes...
These Mystic Eyes...
"How could they appear in a human body?"
But...
But...
If they really were Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, wouldn't everything make sense?
Demon Beast?
Not an undying entity.
Soil of Creation?
Not an undying entity.
666 wild beast factors?
Not an undying entity.
Nrvnqsr-Chaos?
Also not an undying entity.
As long as it wasn't an undying entity, it would be as fragile as paper before these Mystic Eyes.
Just like Fang Li said.
Fang Li had only killed them.
Seeing Fang Li's ice-blue Mystic Eyes still staring at him intently, Nrvnqsr's heart finally filled with fear.
Even Arcueid bit her lip completely.
"There's really another pair? What a joke!"
Unfortunately, no matter how much one denied it, reality remained reality.
Under the gaze of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, the so-called True Ancestor and Dead Apostle were killable.
Immortal life?
It was a joke in front of these eyes.
"Damn!"
Nrvnqsr finally felt the fear of death and began to growl at Fang Li.
"A human doesn't deserve to have those eyes!"
With that, Nrvnqsr planned to unleash all his remaining wild beast factors.
At that moment, an unexpected event occurred.
A shadow silently approached Nrvnqsr from behind.
"Pū Chī———!"
Amidst the tearing sound, crimson blood finally splattered into the sky.
