- (If he really has the ability to nullify all damage, he wouldn’t have chosen this day to attack
- me. He could have revealed his real name to Academy City, snuck back in and killed all
- the Kiharas. There must be some special characteristics to Kihara Kagun’s defense. It
- should be possible to deduce this from his actions.)
- Kihara Byouri used the assumption that magic itself was a supernatural power that
- contrasted the ones made in Academy City to build her thoughts according to an esper
- who could take on Academy City.
- (Kihara Kagun deliberately used his vitals to take my attack. In that case...)
- “...”
- Kihara Byouri changed her right hand to a skyfish, and shot out a thick nail.
- However, this wasn’t aimed at Kihara Kagun’s vitals, but his shoulder. To create a little
- graze that would normally be ignored, this nail flew at a very high speed as it peeled off
- part of Kihara Kagun’s skin
- It was just like what she thought.
- This time, he was injured. Blood came out of his shoulders.
- “I don’t understand the composition, but it’s true that you can nullify fatal attacks. That’s
- your defense! In that case...!!”
- “So you’re trying to kill me by creating lots of non-fatal wounds and let me bleed out a lot,
- aren’t you?”
- His weaknesses were completely exposed, but Kihara Kagun’s expression still remained
- dry.
- “In Norse mythology, there are a lot of stories about putting gemstones on the hilt of the
- sword. It seemed that it could become some sort of talisman, and it had the effect of
- healing the damage sustained in battle... But for me who is not well-versed in that, I can’t
- do anything other than dodging all fatal attacks.”
- As he was a derivative of science, Kihara Kagun could understand this thing that couldn’t
- be justified and continued.
- “But this could still be useful. Let’s talk about a dueling sword called Whitting. When in
- battle, this sword will scatter when its owner is at a disadvantage, and amongst them, a
- miracle would occur...it’s a spell that can accurately avoid damage and cause the sword to
- be sharper. When both are assembled, the sword’s destructive power will increase
- exponentially.”
- He pointed his right index and middle finger, and raised that several meter long sword
- horizontally.
- “...If you want to kill me by non-fatal attacks, you will need a minimum of twelve hits.
- That would be enough. I can kill you 52 times. What I got in battle wasn’t a guess, but a
- belief. Why don’t you normally use such a power? Or is it that if you had only this level of
- freedom, you would have to rely on your persona as the woman Kihara Byouri...? It may
- be a threat, but even so, you should be losing yourself already, aren’t you?”
- “Ugh!?”
- “The proof is that you’re increasingly unable to get rid of the #2. You continue to
- command the electric signals. However, the things created by the #2 still have his own
- presence. And then, this is just like a rejection in a transplant. Kihara Byouri’s
- consciousness is being chased away by an artificial body. Is the limit one hundred
- seconds? Five hundred seconds? I don’t think it’s that long. If I continue to kill you during
- this time, you still won’t be able to do anything in the end even if you understand all sorts
- of danger, as you’re still relying on the #2. As time goes by, you will wait on and crumble
- to a certain extent. After that, you will end up destroying yourself. Your so-called physical
- body may not be killed, but your spirit will be worn out.”
- -Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 4 Main.31
