Kaito Shirogane wasn't deliberately mocking. He could indeed feel the might of the [Fullbring] displayed by this [Soul Sorcerer · Xelo].
That Fullbring, unleashed by channeling Reishi through erupting emotions, had a terrifying scale. The sword light illuminated a thousand ters. Moreover, this strike was unavoidable; he was hit without even seeing the sword drawing process.
But Kaito frowned. Indeed, he felt no other effects besides so 'superficial wounds.'
Whether physically, ntally, or otherwise, he detected no changes at all.
Therefore, he calmly asked what ability Xelo's Fullbring actually was.
Xelo slowly lowered his right hand holding the [Sword of the Heart], his expression also shocked and suspicious.
His [Sword of the Heart] was a guaranteed-hit sword of karma, a sword that would directly slay the opponent's [Heart] and [Spirit].
It would double all the pain, torture, and even that sense of 'loss' he suffered onto the opponent.
Before entering the Space, Xelo was considered a twisted and morbid person by many. Lacking love since childhood, he held huge goodwill towards anyone who approached him.
Like a pitiful dog, whoever approached, he would wag his tail in joy.
After entering this Infinite Dinsional Space, this trait fully manifested step by step, turning into a special talent, and finally fully materialized through the 'ability of love'—[Fullbring].
Xelo didn't lie. He loved every one of his teammates very much. But precisely because the emotion of 'love' was too frequent for him, he wanted to confirm it through the pain of loss.
And every loss would make the [Sword of the Heart] stronger. His next slash could inflict all his pain into the opponent's body, causing ntal collapse and soul damage.
Moreover, the [Sword of the Heart] was also a sword of karma. The person who killed soone Xelo cherished couldn't dodge; they would inevitably be hit and, in their cognition, see their own cherished ones killed in the sa way.
lisandre was Xelo's lover, the person he relied on, the person in whom he sought the missing morbid motherly love.
Theoretically, when hit by the [Sword of the Heart], rcenary Tao, who killed lisandre, should also see his lover torn apart in his cognition.
"You have no lover. You have no one you rely on..."
Xelo could only co up with this explanation. He raised the sword again. With just a flash of Reiatsu, the blade light had already passed through the body.
Kaito had no intention of dodging, standing in place.
Pfft pfft!
Cross-shaped sword wounds appeared. This ti the wounds were shallower, not cutting through Kaito's bones.
Kaito also realized at this ti that the opponent's Fullbring ability was probably closer to the rule-based type. Because he killed that woman, the sword avenging that woman beca unavoidable for him, its power seemingly irresistible, slashing through his Armant Haki instantly.
But the effect of these two slashes was much worse.
Kaito still didn't feel any changes.
Xelo had never realized such a thing could happen.
The two slashes just now corresponded to the pain of losing his father and mother in childhood. This was the event that had the greatest impact on him, thus having the greatest impact on the heart and soul.
But landing on rcenary Tao, the opponent still had no reaction.
"rcenary Tao, you guy... actually have no feelings for your parents either?!"
Xelo raised the sword to slash again. This katana looked heavy, but actually had no weight after Fullbring activation, so the slashing speed far exceeded imagination.
But Kaito still took a step to the left, dodging this slash.
Xelo raised his hand again. Kaito exerted force with his toes, shattering the ground轟然.
Slap!
Before the sword slashed down, a hand grabbed Xelo's arm.
"Such a weak Fullbring."
Xelo tried to exert force, but not being a Reincarnator with limit-breaking Strength, his base Strength of 25 was completely crushed by rcenary Tao without efficiency conversion.
His heart moved, and light lit up on the blade. In the next mont, this [Sword of the Heart] didn't need to slash at all; the sword light lit up directly in front of Kaito.
Kaito pinched Xelo's right arm with his left hand, and a pitch-black greatsword suddenly appeared in his right hand. Seeing the sword light fall, he didn't dodge. Instead, he grabbed that [Black Sword · Dragonslayer] single-handedly and slashed upward in reverse.
Squelch!
At the mont Kaito's chest Armant Haki was slashed open again, Xelo's right arm was also severed.
[Black Sword · Dragonslayer] had a special effect with a high probability of causing limb severance, but this sword absorbed an astonishing amount of Armant Haki.
After severing the opponent's arm, Kaito gripped the black sword with both hands, turned around, and smashed the pitch-black ultra-greatsword fiercely onto the falling black katana.
Bang!
Blue-white Reishi exploded, blade fragnts flying everywhere.
Ignoring the heartache, Xelo appeared instantly a hundred ters away.
He held his left palm vertically. His figure flickered constantly. Intense Reishi gathered in his palm, and he chanted loudly.
[Ye lord! Mask of flesh and bone, flutter of wings, ye who bears the na of Man! Truth and temperance, upon this sinless wall of dreams unleash but slightly the wrath of your claws.]
[Hado #33 · Sokatsui] (Blue Fire, Crash Down)!
Blue-white Reishi quickly turned into pale flas, erupting from Xelo's palm. In just an instant, it exploded轟然 like a huge torrent.
As the smoke cleared, the smile on Kaito's lips beca more obvious. He had already realized sothing.
Seeing barely any injuries on rcenary Tao, Xelo also realized simultaneously that even if the previous [Sword of the Heart] slashes couldn't cause ntal damage, the opponent should still suffer soul pain.
But rcenary Tao was unaffected.
Combined with the fact that the opponent was hit by his fully chanted #33 Hado with no effect, there was only one possibility—rcenary Tao's Reiatsu was above his!
Reishi, as the foundation of an extrely versatile and powerful power system, had a most important characteristic: any ability generated based on Reishi and Reiatsu, no matter how magical, would ultimately return to the absolute essence—the essence of spirit, the essence of Reiatsu.
No matter how exquisite and profound the ability, faced with Reiatsu that completely crushed yours, where the opponent's soul oppressed yours to the point of difficulty in continuing just by standing there, abilities generated based on your soul couldn't affect the opponent.
Understanding this, Xelo kept widening the distance. He realized he couldn't defeat rcenary Tao. Even if [Hirano] was also killed, another guaranteed-hit sword would have no effect.
Kaito raised his hand, aiming at Xelo from a distance. He also began to chant, his intonation exactly the sa as Xelo's previous chant.
[Ye lord! Mask of flesh and bone, flutter of wings, ye who bears the na of Man! Truth and temperance, upon this sinless wall of dreams unleash but slightly the wrath of your claws!]
Kaito suddenly felt so extrely turbulent power surging within him. That scale was completely incomparable even to Lv4 Satsui no Hado.
In Kaito's consciousness sea, Gojo Satoru and Uchiha Madara were surrounding a man wearing a black mask. This guy claiming to be [Millennium Bug], after being killed by that host with a special ability, actually also entered this consciousness sea and beca a Yin Spirit.
They tried to get so intelligence.
But at this mont, the consciousness sea shook violently. The pure white space began to beco unstable. A large number of Yin Spirits sensed so terrifying power, their figures becoming unstable.
Xelo watched pitch-black soul power actually appear in front of rcenary Tao's palm. Although the feeling was completely different from Sokatsui—colder, more evil.
How is it possible... soone can learn Kido just by seeing it once?!
Can Reincarnators learn abilities this way?!
What a joke!
Xelo's face twisted. What rcenary Tao achieved began to crack his already unstable nerves.
He suddenly shouted loudly:
"Lord Sage, there's sothing wrong with rcenary Tao! rcenary Tao is very..."
Squelch!
Xelo was still flickering backward, but his body was suddenly cut open out of nowhere. His upper body flickered to a hundred ters away, while his lower body remained in place.
Before the pitch-black soul power in Kaito's palm could erupt, five figures appeared around him. The five were of different heights, but all wore half-black half-white uniforms.
The leader, whose blade was still stained with Xelo's blood, stood at the very back. But a naginata exceeding three ters in length was placed directly in front of Kaito's neck.
"Don't move, rcenary Tao. I know you have immortality, but I can already see your miserable appearance after I cut you into thousands of pieces..."
Kaito looked at this person. He was over two ters tall, with a special power swaying like green smoke on his body. That was probably... Magic Power.
