Chapter 8 - Spirit Sword vs. Magic Illusions! The ultimate duel!

In the Dragon's Fang Arena, the moment of the final battle has arrived.

Tendou Kyouichi stands in the centre of the arena, his gaze calm and indifferent. His sword remains sheathed.

But with a single sentence, the entire arena falls into an eerie silence.

"Yagami Sou, kneel now."

At that moment, an invisible force sweeps through the Dragon's Fang Arena.

Everyone feels an unprecedented pressure, as if an invisible sword is piercing their minds, freezing their thoughts, and making their souls tremble.

The Mind Sword technique has been unleashed!

However, to everyone's amazement, Yagami Sou remains motionless, with even a slight smile on his lips.

"...Heh."

He slowly raises his head and locks eyes with Tendou Kyouichi, his expression unshaken.

Tendou Kyouichi furrows his brow.

-The 'Mind Sword' didn't work?

Yagami Sou flips a card lightly between his fingers, his tone teasing.

"Lord Sword King, are you used to people kneeling while you speak?"

The surrounding crowd erupts in disbelief!

"Yagami Sou... he didn't kneel?!"

"Impossible! Even Goutetsuji Reitsu of the Combat Club couldn't resist the Mind Sword. How could Yagami Sou..."

Tendou Kyouichi looks at Yagami Sou, his eyes flickering slightly.

"Interesting."

"It seems that your mental resistance... is beyond what I expected."

Yagami Sou shrugs nonchalantly.

"Instead of bringing people to their knees, I prefer to surprise them."

Tendou Kyouichi exhales slightly, his hand resting on the hilt of the sword.

At this moment, the temperature of the entire Dragon's Fang Arena seems to drop and everyone's nerves are on edge.

The sword is about to be drawn!

"Yagami Sou..."

Tendou Kyouichi's voice is as soft as a breeze, yet it carries an unyielding power.

"Draw your sword."

In the blink of an eye, the air shatters!

A wave of invisible power erupts from Tendou Kyouichi and the onlookers feel their minds ringing and the world seems to tilt for a moment!

Clang!

Tendou Kyouichi's sword is finally drawn!

In an instant, his figure transforms into a streak of lightning that rushes towards Yagami Sou. The edge of the sword hasn't even reached him yet, but the terrifying sword intent has already enveloped the entire Dragon Fang Arena!

This strike - no one can escape!

Facing the incoming sword light, Yagami Sou doesn't retreat. Instead, he smiles slightly, and with a subtle flick of his finger, a playing card flies out, spinning through the air, moving slowly yet quickly!

In the blink of an eye, Yagami Sou's figure disappears into nothingness!

"What?" Tendou Kyouichi's pupils constrict!

The next moment - Shing!

The sword light cuts through Yagami Sou's figure, but at the same time, Yagami Sou's voice echoes from another direction.

"Tendou-senpai, this sword... seems to have missed?"

Tendou Kyouichi quickly turns around, only to find that the Yagami Sou he had struck was nothing but an afterimage!

-Magical illusion: Phantom Deception!

Off to the side, Houkou Sayaka clenches her fists, her nails digging into her palms.

"That guy..." She bites her lip, her heart in turmoil.

Can Yagami Sou really compete with Tendou Kyouichi?

Tendou Kyouichi narrows his eyes and focuses on Yagami Sou again.

"Your magic is stronger than I thought."

"But..."

"In front of my sword, all illusions are meaningless."

Yagami Sou raises an eyebrow, his smile unshakable.

"Oh? Then let's see."

The next moment, Tendou Kyouichi's sword style changes drastically!

He closes his eyes, raises the sword slightly and his whole being becomes like a blade returning to its scabbard - sharp, yet restrained, with an underlying danger.

-"Mind Sword, Second Level".

"Mind's Eye Unsealed."

At this moment, Yagami Sou's heart leaps!

All illusions, all deceptions, seem to be pierced, and at that moment, it feels as if everything he's created is exposed!

His magic... has failed?

Yagami Sou's smile finally falters a little, his brow furrowing.

What is this?"

Tendou Kyouichi slowly opens his eyes and a strange, otherworldly light glows in them.

"You deceive the senses with illusions."

"But under my 'Mind's Eye', all falsehoods are exposed."

Yagami Sou pauses for a moment, then grins again, his usual carefree demeanour returning.

"Well... this is really annoying now."

Tendou Kyouichi slowly raises his sword again, his voice calm but determined.

"Yagami Sou, your magic... has no meaning anymore."

"This fight... should end here."

-The sword light descends again!

精神剑术VS魔术幻术!终极对决!

龙牙场,决战之刻.

天道京一站立于场地中央,目光平静而冷漠,他的剑仍未出鞘.

但仅仅是一句话,便让整个场地陷入死寂——

"夜见苍,现在,跪下."

刹那间,一股无形的力量席卷整个龙牙场.

所有人都感觉到一股前所未有的威压,仿佛有一把无形的剑直刺脑海,令他们的思维瞬间迟滞,灵魂颤栗.

精神剑术——"心剑"发动!

然而,在众人的目光中,夜见苍却依旧站立未动,甚至嘴角微微扬起,露出一抹轻佻的笑意.

"...呵."

他缓缓抬头,目光与天道京一对视,眸中波澜不惊.

天道京一微微皱眉.

——"心剑"竟然没有生效?

夜见苍轻轻弹动指尖的扑克牌,声音带着淡淡的戏谑:"剑王大人,你是习惯让人跪着听你说话吗?"

周围人群瞬间哗然!

"夜见苍...居然没跪下?!"

"开什么玩笑!连格斗部的豪战寺烈都扛不住'心剑',他怎么可能..."

天道京一凝视着夜见苍,目光微微闪烁:"有趣."

"看来,你的精神抗性...远超我的预想."

夜见苍耸耸肩:"比起让人跪下,我更喜欢让人惊讶."

天道京一轻轻呼出一口气,抬手放在剑柄上.

这一瞬,整个龙牙场的温度仿佛骤然下降,所有人的神经都瞬间紧绷.

剑,要出鞘了!

夜见苍..."

天道京一的声音轻如微风,却带着一股无法抗拒的力量.

"拔剑."

刹那间,空气炸裂!

一股无形的冲击波从天道京一的身上爆发,周围的观战者只觉得脑海轰鸣,世界仿佛倾斜了一瞬!

铮——!

天道京一的剑,终于出鞘!

瞬息之间,他的身影化作一道疾光,宛如闪电般袭向夜见苍,剑锋未至,恐怖的剑意已笼罩了整个龙牙场!

这一剑,无人能避!

面对袭来的剑光,夜见苍并未后退,反而轻轻一笑,指尖微微一弹.

扑克牌飞出,在空气中旋转,似慢实快!

在众人难以置信的目光中,夜见苍的身影瞬间变得模糊不清!

"...什么?"天道京一的瞳孔微缩!

下一刻——

噗嗤——!

剑光掠过,劈碎夜见苍的身影!

但与此同时,夜见苍的声音却从另一个方向幽幽响起——

"天道学长,这一剑,好像砍空了啊?"

天道京一猛地转身,却发现刚刚被劈中的夜见苍,只是残影!

——魔术幻术·残影欺瞒!

场外,凰堂纱夜紧握双拳,指甲几乎掐入掌心.

"这家伙..."她咬唇,心中波澜翻涌.

夜见苍真的能与天道京一抗衡?!

天道京一微微眯眼,重新凝视夜见苍.

"...你的魔术,比我想象的更强."

"但..."

"在我的剑面前,所有的'欺瞒'都是毫无意义的."

夜见苍挑了挑眉,笑意不变:"哦?那就试试看吧."

下一瞬,天道京一的剑势骤变!

他闭上双眼,剑指轻抬,整个人宛如一柄归鞘的利刃,锋芒内敛,却危险至极!

——"心剑·第二境."

"心眼开."

刹那间,夜见苍的心脏猛地一震!

所有的幻象,所有的欺骗,在这一刻,仿佛都被看穿!

他的魔术,竟然失效了?!

夜见苍的笑意终于收敛了一分,眉头微微皱起:"...这是什么?"

天道京一缓缓睁开眼睛,目光中闪烁着某种超脱常人的光芒.

"你以幻术欺骗感官."

"但在'心眼'之下,世间一切虚假,皆无所遁形."

夜见苍沉默了一瞬,旋即嘴角再次勾起一抹笑意:"这下...可真是麻烦了啊."

天道京一缓缓举剑,声音平静却不容置疑.

"夜见苍,你的魔术,已经没有意义了."

"这一战,该结束了."

——剑光,再次降临!
