Tsukuyomi (v15/16/20)

“Thousand Hands Shadow Kill.”

Souei’s shadow stretched out and became a thousand arms to capture Gardner. This was the effect of the Eye of the Moon, one of the powers of the Ultimate Gift ‘Moon King Tsukuyomi’ that Souei had just acquired. The ability to manipulate shadows at will was a perfect match for Souei.

Through the shadows, he could investigate the state of the world. And he could ‘move’ wherever there is a shadow. By combining this with Parallel Existence, it was possible to create multiple arms and attack from the shadows.

With his body bound, Gardner cried out in anguish.

“You can be proud of your victory. In any case, Velgrynd-sama and Granit-sama will take you down—“ His words died out before he could finish them.

Gardner’s life was cut short by Souei’s ‘Insta-kill.’

“Velgrynd-sama has been defeated by Rimuru-sama. And Granit is headed for Benimaru, who is stronger than me. Perhaps the same as me—ah, that’s no longer any of your business.”

Souei left those words and let Gardner disappear into the darkness.

As for Souei’s Skill, it is the Ultimate Gift ‘Moon King Tsukuyomi’ given by Ciel. Its powers are diverse, and include ‘Thought Acceleration,’ ‘Universal Perception,’ ‘Eye of the Moon,’ ‘Insta-kill,’ ‘Ultraspeed,’ ‘Mental Manipulation,’ ‘Parallel Existence,’ ‘Spatial Manipulation,’ and ‘Multilayer Barrier.’

“Hold on! You can even use ‘Parallel Existence’ now?”

I was so surprised that I couldn’t help but ask, to which Souei replied flatly.

“Yes. It’s not possible to use more than one at the same time, like Velgrynd-sama, but I am proud to say that just one is useful enough.”

That, indeed, is something to be proud of. One alone is enough. With this, even Souei is infinitely close to being indestructible… However, perhaps the most noteworthy is the ‘Eye of the Moon.’ It was an ability that allowed one to manipulate shadows at will, so they could do various things without your opponent even knowing you’re there. It was characterized by its wide range, to the point that a whole town could be put under its influence. In addition to being specialized in gathering information, this ability could also be used for assassination.

«Souei’s Skill is my masterpiece. In order to recreate the ninja from Master’s memory, I tried to cram in as much as Souei wanted.»

I had thought it was a lot of stuff, but I guess that was the reason why.

«The great thing about ‘Eye of the Moon’ is that it can also be used by a ‘Clone.’ If Souei dispatches ‘Clones’ to various places and uses ‘Eye of the Moon’ to share information, information from all over the world can be available through ‘Telepathy Net!’»

I can see why you are very proud of your work. The more I heard about it, the more I realized how powerful it was. In other words, this was like a superior version of my surveillance spell ‘Argus.’ He could now monitor situations around the world and visualize them with sound. He had become a versatile and dependable man. In the future, I would continue to entrust Souei with all of our country’s intelligence activities.

“All right. I’m giving you the new title of ‘Darkness,’ so please continue to lead the Dark Shadows in the service of our nation.”

Souei made the first move.

“Thousand-Hand Shadow Kill.”

Souei’s shadow stretched out into a thousand arms to capture Milim. But…

Even though Souei’s power, the Ultimate Gift ‘Moon King Tsukuyomi,’ was activated with all his might, Milim’s movement was not even stopped for a moment. Not to mention ‘Insta-kill’ would never work. It was as I had expected from the beginning, but unfortunately, it ended without getting Milim to pay attention for even a moment. Still, I knew that Souei was not the kind of person who would give up after that. He himself made a move to pin Milim down with his own hands.

«Don’t worry. That is Souei’s ‘Split Body.’»

Ah, that’s right. I was impressed by how convenient it was to use. In this way, while Souei was unable to achieve the purpose of stopping Milim’s movements, he had succeeded in slightly hindering those movements. Then, as if to cover Souei, the ultimate destructive light danced wildly.
