Anti-Skill Introduction (Vol 10)

Just as Raphael-san had said, Unique Skills can’t best Ultimate Skills. It’s a matter of the strength of your ‘soul.’ In order to awaken strength greater than a Unique Skill, you seem to need the mental strength that corresponds to it. Against such a strong mental state, a Unique Skill appeared powerless.

That’s why, in order to beat someone who had awakened their Ultimate Skill, you also required an Ultimate Skill. In other words, even if Mariabell transferred her strength to Yuuki, he wouldn’t have been able to defeat me. Meaning, this is my win—but my confidence was quickly shattered in the next instant.

“Then I’m gonna show you my true strength.”

After saying so, Yuuki unleashed a right spin kick. It was no different from the strike just now, so I calmly blocked it with my left arm.

The next second, everything below my left elbow was blown to pieces.

“—HUH?”

While feeling shocked, I backed off to make more distance. I looked at my hand in disbelief.

«Unexpected. ‘Universal Barrier’ of ‘Covenant King Uriel’ was destroyed. Deduce individual ‘Yuuki Kagurazaka’ has unusual attribute— ‘Anti-Skill.’»

Eh, hold on?

Does that mean that my ‘Absolute Defense’ won’t work on Yuuki.

No, more importantly, does that mean most of my attacks would be rendered ineffective?

«Correct. ‘Anti-Skill’ is a spiritual attribute and can shut down magic and Skills. Only techniques such as saint sword techniques may be effective.»

In other words, melt slash may work?

This was not some joke, my Ultimate Skill seemed to have been cracked. I probably wouldn’t have understood even if it were explained to me in detail. But I still knew that this was a difficult attribute to deal with.
