“No… that can’t be?”
Tohno Shiki was completely stunned after hearing this.
“How can it not be?”
Arcueid spoke with a tone of certainty.
“In terms of value, the ability of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception is considered the highest rank, comparable to Magic. If it could be obtained, not only the Magecraft practitioners of the Magecraft Association, but even the executors of the Sacred Hall Church would make a move.”
Arcueid’s words were not exaggerated.
The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception can directly perceive death and forcibly bring an object to its end by cutting the line of death.
The prototype of these Mystic Eyes is the magic god Balor from Celtic mythology.
In Celtic mythology, Balor is the king of the Fomor god race and a god-slaying magic god.
Legend has it that this magic god possesses a mystical eye that remains closed most of the time. Once opened, anything caught in its gaze, even gods, would die instantly.
This is a truly god-killing Mystic Eye.
Although the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception do not reach such a terrifying level, they are still Mystic Eyes that can endow death. They can see the lines that represent death, and they can forcefully end an object by cutting the death line.
Therefore, these Mystic Eyes are miraculous objects that can only be found in myths.
Regardless of whether the object has endless life, immortal characteristics, or stores hundreds or thousands of lives, once the death line is cut, all the immortal characteristics will be ignored, causing fatal damage that is inevitable and unhealable.
Thus, even Arcueid, a Vampire True Ancestor renowned for her immortality, was sliced into 17 pieces and killed by these Mystic Eyes.
And this is also the reason as why Fang Li was surprised by Arcueid’s ability to resurrect.
To be killed by a user of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception by cutting the Death Line and still be able to resurrect?
Isn’t that worth marveling at?
It should be noted that cutting the Death Line with the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception does not just kill the opponent once; it truly leads the opponent to death, stopping their life’s activities.
True death is not just the end of life, but the conceptual end.
It is uncontrollable, inevitable, and the ultimate end of all things.
That is what is called “Death.”
However, Arcueid used her immense power to violently reverse the result of death and resurrect herself.
Although this greatly depleted Arcueid’s power, leaving only a negligible amount behind for her use, it is still amazing.
Of course, this is because Tohno Shiki cut Arcueid’s Death Line, not her Point of Death.
Just as Fang Li had once cut Sydonay’s Death Line, and Sydonay reconstructed his body with the remaining physical part. Similarly, Petelgeuse resurrected by transferring his soul after Fang Li killed him.
That was merely physical and life-death.
If Tohno Shiki had cut Arcueid’s Point of Death, she would have been killed on a conceptual level and could never be revived.
If it were Fang Li, he would have killed the soul directly, preventing any chance of resurrection for Arcueid.
If it were Ryougi Shiki, she would kill the concept directly.
This is the true power of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.
How could such a power not be coveted by others?
At the very least, many Magecraft practitioners who see Magecraft as everything would go mad for these Mystic Eyes and spare no effort to obtain them.
“After you killed me yesterday, I kept wondering how you did it.
Arcueid confessed, seeming both reluctant and relieved.
“If it really is the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, then there’s nothing more to say.”
Arcueid, clearly understanding the value and ability of these Mystic Eyes, finally accepted the outcome.
She accepted that she had been killed.
In reality, Arcueid’s personality is very simple.
Although she has lived for eight hundred years, Arcueid is still a naive and slightly spoiled princess.
In the eyes of Arcueid, the True Ancestor Princess, the Law of the Jungle is a perfectly natural principle.
When she was killed by Tohno Shiki, Arcueid felt hatred and resentment, so she wanted revenge.
But knowing that she was killed by the Mystic Eyes, which only exist in myth, Arcueid accepted it instead.
After all…
“After all, you are a monster.”
Arcueid’s blunt words made Tohno Shiki feel a strong sense of rejection.
“I don’t want to be called that by a vampire!” Tohno Shiki replied strongly. “Besides, I’m not the only one with those eyes!”
Hearing this, Arcueid was stunned and it took her a while to react.
“What are you talking about?” Arcueid said with great dissatisfaction. “You are a monster with Mystic Eyes from the Age of Gods, how could there be another one like you?”
In a way, Arcueid was right.
The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, a rule-breaking ability, is almost impossible to replicate even in the mythological era. In the modern age, where mystery is gradually being replaced by science, having one is already a miracle. To have two would be a fantasy.
However, there is no shortage of miracles in this world.
The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception are certainly not the exclusive privilege of Tohno Shiki.
In the current world, there are actually three people with these eyes.
However, one of them does not even belong to this world.
Just as Tohno Shiki was about to say something, Fang Li interrupted him.
“Whatever grievances you have to settle, you can do it later.”
Saying this, Fang Li looked at Arcueid and spoke.
“Princess, if I am not mistaken, you came here to hunt the vampires that are secretly rampaging through this city, right?”
With one sentence, everyone’s attention shifted to Fang Li.
Tohno Shiki was the first to react.
“Vampires rampaging through this city?” Tohno Shiki said in surprise. “There are other vampires in this town?”
No one paid attention to Tohno Shiki’s astonishment.
Including Arcueid.
“Yes, my purpose is to deal with the vampires in this city.”
Arcueid furrowed her brow, bit her lip, and whispered reluctantly.
“But now it seems impossible.”
After speaking, Arcueid lay down, grabbed the blanket, and covered herself. She looked both sulky and unwilling to say anything more.
Only Fang Li and Tohno Shiki were left, exchanging glances, one shrugging, the other sighing, completely unsure of what to say.
In the end, Fang Li could only think in silence.
“Even if you can’t do it, others might be able to.”
So, a battle would be coming soon.
And it might very well be tonight.
