The scene fell into silence for a mont...
The witch lowered her eyes and brows for a long ti, finally letting out a slight sigh.
She lifted her gaze to look at the person in front of her, who seed to be waiting patiently. Staring into the other person’s eyes, she appeared to have made a decision, ready to say sothing: "I..."
But just at this mont, a gigantic purple light suddenly appeared in the distant sky, coming from an unknown source. It erged on the horizon and spread swiftly with an incredible speed, sweeping across everything with a majestic montum towards the farthest horizon.
In an instant, it already enveloped the entire city.
By a narrow margin, a girl in a sailor suit had just returned from the back mountain, sprinting back to the shrine, panting a few breaths, then opened the shrine’s door and ran inside, arriving at the dry well in the dimness, and jumped right in.
Her figure just disappeared into the well’s opening, and at that mont, the purple light had already swept over the shrine, sweeping across the entire Himura Shrine.
Wherever the light passed, the corresponding space seed to have completely frozen.
Whether it was humans, animals, vehicles, or even the flowing wind, everything stopped in its current motion state... The flags fluttering on the square, the fighter jets returning in the distant sky, and the waves rising in the Edogawa River—all of it.
It was as if the content displayed in a photograph, or like ti frozen in amber.
——In the end, everything returned to stillness.
"..."
"..."
The air quieted down.
The wind seed to stop blowing.
Suddenly looking up, the witch gazed at the sky, only to see that at so point, dayti had turned into eternal night. A mysterious, ethereal full moon hung in the sky, its moonlight not appearing gentle, but rather exceedingly cold, as if it had no warmth of its own, capable of erasing the world’s heat.
"This kind of power..."
The witch also appeared sowhat astonished.
Although she had not gone out to see the frozen city, everything in the forest behind the shrine had stopped. With her sharp and strong spiritual sense, it was naturally not difficult to notice.
"The second impact... Ah, no, it’s the ’Bright Mirror Still Water Technique’," Gu Mo looked at the eternal night that had descended, speaking in a calm and unconfused voice, "In Dream City, combined with her mirror and Celestial Feather Robe as treasures, it’s the only way to launch the Curse Technique, stopping ti and dominating the world below."
"..."
Kikyo glanced at him, then frowned and looked off into the distance.
On the tree over there, a few small birds stood on the branches, probably just scared stiff by the Demon Fox’s demon qi, not having ti nor daring to fly away. Now, they weren’t making any movent... It wasn’t that their bodies were scared stiff and dared not move, but rather completely devoid of any energy.
Neither life nor corpse.
Just like turning into stone all of a sudden.
The witch withdrew her gaze, turned, and walked toward the direction outside the forest, Gu Mo casually following behind her. The two soon walked out from behind the mountain, ca before the Bird House, and once again stood there watching the distant city’s outline.
The rising black smoke and flas were frozen in the air, the people on the streets below, who were panicking from the previous commotion, frozen in their last act, like sculptures full of tension, their facial expressions and eyes vivid.
Of course, they were actually living people...
Not killed, but frozen in ti.
It’s just that this spell is truly too defiant of the natural order; such a terrifying effect, such a vast range, if the entire world were to remain in this eternal night, then these people would have no difference with being killed... because there would be no future to speak of, nor could they create history.
Bright Mirror Still Water, ti stopped, everything in the world perished.
Kikyo’s autumn-water-like eyes looked at the demon beside her, discovering that the other party seed unsurprised by this.
However, in such a frozen world, only she and the other party could continue to move... This person probably was unaffected due to coming from a ti period not belonging to this era, and as for herself, it seed to be for the sa reason, but actually—
It was more because she was actually a dead person...
The ti on her body had long stopped...
The witch showed a self-deprecating smile, sowhat dazedly raising her eyes again to look at the obviously abnormal full moon in the sky. Although she was witnessing the ’Bright Mirror Still Water Technique’ for the first ti, after coming into contact with it, she naturally understood more.
After all, mastering one technique leads to comprehension of all related techniques, finding similarities in differences, and all principles eventually converge.
But precisely because she understood, she was deeply touched... She was a witch unable to leave this world. No, that wasn’t entirely correct; she was a witch in her previous life, but now she inhabited a false body, filled with curses, and no matter what she did, she couldn’t escape this fate.
"Life is death, death is life..."
Murmuring lightly, a hint of lancholy flashed through the witch’s eyes.
"..."
Gu Mo remained silent beside her, probably understanding what Kikyo had thought of, but under such circumstances, he didn’t know how to comfort her, since anything he said felt like watching soone else’s pain from a distance. The only thing he could do at this mont was to stay quiet, giving Kikyo enough ti.
