It was like many people comparing who had more colors on a piece of paper, and then the other person just tore the paper.
Ryougi currently had no way to defend against the Rifthounds' strange attacks, so she could only dodge.
Mystic Eyes of Death Perception appeared, and black and red lines instantly covered the Rifthounds' bodies, and then…
Lightning flashed, and Kuji Narukami dissipated into specks of light, while on the ground lay the shattered bodies of the Rifthounds.
The power that Rifthounds possessed was not great; it was just that their Talent to corrode space was very strange, and a single claw attack dealt true DMG.
Fortunately, her skills were superior; Mystic Eyes of Death Perception instantly killed them.
Using elemental power could also be fatal with one blow, as these things' bodies were very fragile.
Ryougi used Mystic Eyes of Death Perception only to add the Rifthounds to her bestiary.
Her Mystic Eyes were somewhat different from those of the original world's and Tohno Shiki's. Tohno Shiki's required him to understand them with his own brain, and he could burn out his brain if he wasn't careful.
As for Ryougi's, they were connected to the Root, equivalent to being linked to a server, so there was no risk of burning out her brain. Of course, without the Root, she couldn't understand either.
Ryougi's Mystic Eyes of Death Perception leaned more towards the original Ryougi, but she would automatically understand and back up what she saw. This was also why her head hurt so much it felt like it would explode when she used her Mystic Eyes to look directly at the Ley Lines.
In other words, the more Ryougi saw with her Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, the more she understood.
However, the upper limit of what she could understand at one time depended on her physical quality, like the neck of a bottle.
Based on this, Shiki didn't need to burn her brain to forcibly understand anything; [Shiki] would automatically send those things into her mind.
So even without the Root, the information in her mind was enough for her to continue using her Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.
For example, going to other worlds.
Although her Mystic Eyes of Death Perception had no distinction between lines and points, hitting meant death.
No matter which part's death line, be it an arm or a thigh, hitting it meant death.
The original Ryougi Shiki, however, needed to hit vital points, otherwise, if only an arm was cut, she could still jump around lively.
For details, please refer to Shirazumi Lio.
However, what Shiki didn't know was that her Mystic Eyes of Death Perception could originally be like the original Ryougi Shiki, not needing to understand anything, just needing to hack and slash like a brute.
It was [Shiki] that transformed it into its current state.
No one knew that [Shiki] was planning a Archon-making project; she wanted to sculpt Shiki into an existence similar to herself over long years.
As for the reason? Perhaps out of gratitude for the other party bestowing her with sentience, or perhaps out of sheer boredom; in any case, she decided to do it.
From the moment this naive little one connected with her, from the moment she awakened her sentience, she decided to add some spice to her unchanging life.
Thus, the Archon-making plan began.
Of course, this plan was based on the premise that that person could continuously absorb things, and Shiki just happened to be able to.
Shiki had no limits; she could continuously grow stronger.
If she couldn't do this, then [Shiki] wouldn't have formulated the Archon-making plan.
Oh, and don't misunderstand, the awakening of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception had nothing to do with her; it was entirely Shiki's own realization when she established a connection with her after death.
Pressing the switch, the stone wall in front rose from the ground, revealing a gap for people to pass through.
As soon as Shiki walked in, she saw the familiar iron gate.
At that time, Shiki was amused; other types of mechanisms might have been more troublesome, but for this iron gate, she didn't even need to use her Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.
Creak...
A teeth-grinding sound rang out; the iron gate was directly torn apart by the magnetic field, and Shiki walked right through.
Following the steps upward, she finally arrived in a secret room.
However, as soon as Shiki entered, six purplish-gray light spots appeared around her.
Shiki: "..."
Is this a trial of Enkanomiya or Khaenri'ah? It's fine that Rifthounds are guarding the entrance; it's understandable they invaded, but why are they even inside?
Floating Spirits would have been fine; why are they Rifthounds created by Khaenri'ah?
Muttering about Enkanomiya, Shiki condensed a Lei blade in her hand and cut down all the Rifthounds in the labyrinth, then obtained the last fragment.
"Finally got it, that was really troublesome."
Feeling the heavy sleeve, Shiki pouted, which showed how truly troublesome it was to not have a portable space like a Vision.
