Chapter 46 - Yagami Sou's all or nothing game!

-The air was thick with the scent of searing heat.

Yagami Sou's cards sliced through the air, aiming straight for Onimaru Setsura's vital points!

But - lightning flashed as Gokuretsu swept across the battlefield!

Before the cards could reach him, they were incinerated in a burst of raging thunder!

"Yagami Sou."

Onimaru Setsura's voice was deep like rolling thunder. He stepped forward, Gokuretsu spinning in his grasp, an unshakable pressure weighing down the entire battlefield.

"Your magic..."

The spear lifted slowly, lightning crackling along its surface.

"Has nowhere to hide from my spear."

Yagami Sou's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

The last exchange had confirmed it - Onimaru Setsura's Gokuretsu was not just a powerful anti-magic weapon. It was a weapon capable of completely destroying mental constructs!

--If he was hit directly again, even his illusionary techniques would be violently shattered!

"Yagami-!"

Houdou Saya appeared from the distance, her bowstring pulled to the limit. A frost-blue arrow shot out and flew towards Yagami Sou's back!

Yagami Sou twisted his body and narrowly avoided the arrow - but his movement hesitated for a moment.

--A chance!

Onimaru Setsura lunged forward, Gokuretsu erupting with lightning!

"Thunderbolt!"

The spear roared like a storm, slashing at Yagami Sou's side with devastating force!

"Yagami!"

Mitou Karuma cracked his whip in an attempt to interfere - but Onimaru Setsura simply flicked his wrist, sending an electric current through the whip! Mitou Karuma's hand went numb and his weapon slipped from his grasp!

"Damn it!"

--Yagami Sou's figure was torn apart by lightning!

"No...!" Houdou Saya's pupils shrank - she turned sharply!

Yagami Sou's real body had already appeared behind Onimaru Setsura!

--An illusion? No, a replacement technique?!

In his hands, five glowing cards shimmered with an eerie light. With a flick of his wrist, they slashed towards Onimaru Setsura's throat!

"Card Technique-Void Strike!"

Onimaru Setsura exhaled sharply and spun Gokuretsu in a reverse sweep - lightning exploded outwards!

The moment the cards hit Gokuretsu, a violent burst of electricity erupted!

"YAGAMI SOU!!"

In the next instant, Yagami Sou was engulfed in a storm of thunder as his body was thrown backwards and hit the ground hard!

Blood trickled from his lips and his trembling fingers could barely support himself.

Onimaru Setsura slowly approached, Gokuretsu pointing at Yagami Sou, his gaze indifferent.

-Lightning crackled, the air heavy with the stench of burnt ozone.

Yagami Sou knelt on one knee, his cloak torn to shreds, fingers trembling, blood at the corner of his mouth.

Standing before him was Onimaru Setsura, Gokuretsu pulsing with energy, an unwavering force like a gathering storm.

"Yagami Sou, you have no way out."

Onimaru Setsura's voice was calm - a declaration, not a taunt.

From the sidelines, Houdou Saya gripped her bow tightly, her eyes flickering with complex emotions.

Slowly, Yagami Sou raised his head. His eyes remained as sharp as blades.

His card techniques had been interrupted, his illusions shattered, but... "It's not over yet."

Yagami Sou murmured and slowly rose to his feet.

Onimaru Setsura's eyes narrowed slightly, Gokuretsu's lightning intensified.

"Useless fight."

With a sudden movement, Gokuretsu's lightning surged through the air like a tidal wave!

But - Yagami Sou's figure twisted strangely at that moment!

--"Phantom Step!"

Gokuretsu tore through the empty space, scattering lightning into the void.

Onimaru Setsura's eyes narrowed. He whirled around in an instant, swinging Gokuretsu once more - but - "Card Technique - Silent Piercing!"

Darkened playing cards sliced through the air without a sound, slipping past defences like ghosts - targeting Onimaru Setsura's vital points!

Onimaru Setsura shifted, narrowly dodging, bringing Gokuretsu up to block - but! The moment the cards collided, they split into four separate phantoms, attacking from multiple directions!

--The true attack was hidden among them!

"Interesting."

A faint flicker of recognition passed through Onimaru Setsura's gaze. He stamped his foot and spun Gokuretsu - a lightning barrier erupted around him!

"Thunder barrier - illusion shattered!"

The lightning charged outwards, shattering all four phantoms in an instant!

But Yagami Sou was already at his side, one last card glowing with golden light in his grasp!

"Secret Art Phantom End!"

For the first time, Onimaru Setsura's expression changed slightly.

The air froze in an instant.

Lightning crackled, magic flickered - Gokuretsu's thunder and Yagami Sou's card collided.

A violent explosion shook the entire Dragon Fang Arena!

A gust of wind swept across the battlefield, dust and debris clouding the air.

When the dust settled, Yagami Sou was kneeling on the ground, his last card slowly burning to ashes.

And Onimaru Setsura... He stood unshaken, his gokuretsu trembling slightly, but his stance as firm as an unyielding mountain.

Yagami Sou's lips curled into a faint smile.

"Looks like... I lost after all."

Onimaru Setsura slowly lowered Gokuretsu, his gaze steady.

"A worthy opponent."

Houdou Saya watched silently, her expression unreadable.

--This battle... The Magic Division had lost.

夜见苍的孤注一掷!

——[龙牙场·战局白热化]

空气中弥漫着焦灼的气息.

夜见苍的纸牌飞舞而出,划破空气,直取鬼丸刹罗的要害!

但——

雷光炸裂,獄裂横扫!

夜见苍的纸牌尚未触及鬼丸刹罗,便在雷电的爆发下化为灰烬!

"夜见苍."

鬼丸刹罗的声音低沉如雷,他缓步向前,獄裂在手中回转,一股无法撼动的压迫感笼罩整个战场.

"你的魔术..."

獄裂缓缓抬起,雷流缠绕枪身.

"在我的枪下,无处遁形."

夜见苍的眉头微微皱起.

刚才的交锋,他已经意识到鬼丸刹罗的獄裂不仅仅是强大的破魔之枪,更是一件能彻底瓦解精神构造的武器!

——如果再被正面命中,连自身的幻术都会被强制崩溃!

"夜见——!"

凰堂纱夜的身影在远方闪现,她的弓弦已经拉至极限,冰蓝色的箭矢化作疾光,直取夜见苍的后背!

夜见苍身形一闪,险而又险地避开箭矢,但他的脚步却微微一滞.

——机会!

鬼丸刹罗猛然踏步,獄裂雷光骤然爆发!

"雷鸣击!"

獄裂带着撼天之势横扫而至,直冲夜见苍的侧身!

"夜见!"

御堂狩真一声低喝,长鞭甩出,试图干扰鬼丸刹罗的攻势.

但鬼丸刹罗只是单手一震,雷电顺着鞭身传导,御堂狩真的手掌被电流麻痹,鞭子瞬间脱手!

"——糟了!"

——夜见苍的身影,被雷电撕碎?!

"不对...!"凰堂纱夜瞳孔一缩,猛然回身!

夜见苍的身影,赫然出现在鬼丸刹罗的背后!

——幻影?不,是替身术?!

夜见苍的手中,五张纸牌闪耀着诡异的光芒,寒芒一掠,直取鬼丸刹罗的脖颈!

"牌术——虚空

鬼丸刹罗冷哼一声,獄裂反手横扫,雷电如狂潮席卷而出!

纸牌与獄裂碰撞的瞬间,雷电爆发!

"夜见苍!!"

下一瞬间,夜见苍的身体被雷光吞噬,整个人倒飞而出,重重砸在地上!

鲜血顺着嘴角滑落,夜见苍的手微微颤抖着撑起身体.

鬼丸刹罗缓步上前,獄裂指向夜见苍,眼中没有丝毫波澜.

——[龙牙场·终极交锋]

雷光肆虐,空气中弥漫着灼烧的焦味.

夜见苍单膝跪地,身上的外套已经被雷电撕裂,指尖微微颤抖,嘴角渗出鲜血.

鬼丸刹罗站在前方,獄裂横握,枪身雷流涌动,宛如死亡的宣告.

"夜见苍,你已经没有余地了."

鬼丸刹罗平静地开口,语气如同宣判.

凰堂纱夜站在不远处,握紧长弓,眼中闪过一丝复杂的情绪.

夜见苍缓缓抬起头,眼神仍旧锋锐如刃.

他的纸牌术法已经被獄裂的雷流破坏,幻术也被连续粉碎,但...

"还没有结束."

夜见苍低声呢喃,缓缓站起身.

鬼丸刹罗微微皱眉,獄裂上的雷光更甚.

"无谓的挣扎."

鬼丸刹罗身形一动,雷光化作狂潮,獄裂瞬间横扫而来!

但这一刻,夜见苍的身影竟然诡异地扭曲了一瞬!

——"幻影步!"

獄裂划破空气,雷电炸裂,然而夜见苍的身体已经消失在原地!

鬼丸刹罗眼神一凛,猛然转身,獄裂迅速横扫,但...

"牌术——无声穿刺!"

漆黑的纸牌仿佛幽灵一般无声无息地穿透空气,直指鬼丸刹罗的要害!

鬼丸刹罗侧身躲闪,獄裂猛然向上格挡——

但!

纸牌在碰撞的瞬间,竟然化作四道分影,向四个不同的方向刺去!

——真正的杀招,隐藏在影中!

"有意思."

鬼丸刹罗眼神中闪过一丝认可,他脚下一踏,獄裂猛然旋转,雷流爆发,形成了一道雷电护壁!

"雷障·破幻!"

雷光席卷,四道纸牌分影瞬间化作虚无!

但夜见苍的身影已然出现在他身侧,手中最后一张牌闪烁着金色光芒!

"秘技——幻影终结!"

这一刻,鬼丸刹罗眼神微微一凝.

空气仿佛在这一刻凝固.

獄裂的雷光,与夜见苍的纸牌,在刹那间碰撞!

轰然炸裂!!

狂暴的气流冲击整个龙牙场,沙尘卷起,所有人都下意识地抬手遮挡.

当烟尘散去——

夜见苍半跪在地,手中最后一张牌缓缓燃尽.

而鬼丸刹罗,静静地站在原地,獄裂的枪刃微微颤抖,但他的身形,依旧如山岳一般未曾倒下.

夜见苍的嘴角微微扬起,低声道:

"看来...还是我输了."

鬼丸刹罗缓缓收起獄裂,目光平静:"不错的对手."

凰堂纱夜望着这一幕,眼神中闪过一丝复杂的情绪.

——这一战,魔术部,败.
