"I know you much better than you think."
Shinji said so.
Hearing his words, Luo A looked in a certain direction thoughtfully, and his eyes, which were becoming more and more like snakes, narrowed into slits.
"I see. Araya said that his last failure was also related to you... It's not surprising that you know about this 'Mystic Eye'."
The meaning is obvious. Shinji learned about the existence of the "Mystic Eyes of Death Perception" through Ryougi Shiki, and even knew the location of his "deadline", so he was prepared. However, this speculation was denied by Shinji.
"no."
"Did I say something wrong?" In Roa's opinion, this was the most likely answer.
"You are right, but you are wrong on another level. I think you will never understand me."
The reason why I say this is correct is that Shinji did get to know the "Mystic Eyes of Death Perception" intuitively through Shiki Ryougi, and he also memorized the approximate location of his own "death line" out of curiosity.
The reason why it is wrong is that Roa's eyes are not the "death eye", but another kind of eyes that seem to be the same. Although this "death eye" can also see lines, it does not see the "death line" that represents the end of things, but the life line that symbolizes life.
In most cases, the life line is in the same position as the "death line", and the effect after cutting it is the same, but after all, there is a difference between life and death. Cutting the life line cannot cause absolute, almost irreversible damage like cutting the death line, and it cannot act on inorganic matter. From the perspective of destruction alone, it is a weakened version of the "Mystic Eyes of Death Perception". Because the Type-Moon official did not give a name, fans are used to calling it the "Mystic Eyes of Life".
The name "Mystic Eyes of Life" sounds very high-sounding, and it may have other magical uses, but Roa didn't know the nature of the eyes, so he naturally thought it was the legendary "Mystic Eyes of Death Perception" and didn't specifically research and develop it. Shinji, the only person in the world who knew about it, couldn't tell it out, so as to strengthen the enemy's strength, so he deliberately kept it vague.
Luo A regarded this attitude as a new form of provocation. He sneered contemptuously: "You are just being mysterious. Do you think you can distract me in this way? You really underestimate me."
Shinji still maintained his previous attitude: "If it was you in the first generation, I might use this method to improve my chances of winning, but you now, haha!"
The first generation Roa was indeed a very powerful and terrifying person, and he had defeated Elquit's sister, "Ancient Red" Eltluci. But this strength was based on the powerful and terrifying magician body of the first generation Roa. After losing that body and starting to reincarnate, his strength would be limited by the reincarnations of previous generations.
Of the eighteen reincarnations, only the sixteenth and seventeenth reincarnation, Xiel, can match the first generation. The others will weaken to varying degrees. Although Kotomine Kirei's quality is good, he is only at the level of a powerful agent, far inferior to the first generation Roa, the founder of the "Burying Organ". Even with the "Mystic Eye of Life", he cannot make up for this gap.
Luo A, who was hit in the sore spot, was not angry, but laughed: "You can't even beat me now, and you dare to say such big words. You are such a narrow-minded person, and you are really pleasing to me."
"That was just a greeting, but now we're going to get serious. If this is all you can do, then the rest of your life will be counted in seconds."
The bow and sword he usually used were retracted into his sleeves, replaced by a golden divine spear that was over three meters long. The pure power of the sun on it was the biggest nemesis of the dead apostles.
"The treasure that symbolizes the sun is really dazzling." Roa covered his forehead with his hand as if he was under the scorching sun. "You became the 'Blue Knight' with this treasure, but it is impossible to defeat me with just this."
"Really?" Shinji raised his eyebrows and pointed his gun straight at Roa's heart.
"Of course!" Roa answered confidently.
Faced with the A+ grade divine spear, he neither dodged nor swung his sword to block. He just stood there motionless, allowing the divine spear to come.
Something surprising happened. The closer the dazzling spear got to him, the dimmer its light became. When it reached the target, it lost all its luster and power. It couldn't even pierce his clothes and just stopped at Roa's heart.
Everyone who saw this scene was stunned. Everyone could feel how powerful the golden spear was. If they were stabbed, they would definitely be burned to ashes in an instant, but now, such a terrible blow was easily blocked by Roa.
He didn't use any magic, nor did he wear any special equipment. He simply used his chest and that black robe that had nothing special about it.
Shinji did not give up, and continued to wield his spear, stabbing or sweeping, each move was enough to make the so-called martial arts masters ashamed. However, such attacks still did not work, and the most powerful stab only pierced Roa's coat.
"Can't believe it?"
Roa casually stretched out his hand and grasped the divine spear that had lost all its brilliance. The sharp tip of the spear rubbed against his skin but could not leave a single wound.
"You really want to know the answer? Then I will tell you mercifully. I am not stronger than the Heroic Spirits. I have also been beaten badly by some guys. The so-called Heroic Spirits are those who affirm the existence of human history and protect the order of the human world. We Dead Apostles deny the existence of human history and exist to taint your rules."
At this point, Roa's grip on the magic spear suddenly tightened, and the magic spear known as the "Immortal Blade" shattered in an instant.
"So, we can completely deny the protection of Noble Phantasms created by humans, or Noble Phantasms prepared by God for humans. If it is a Noble Phantasm made by God for God, that's another matter, but things of that level are not so easy to find, right?"
As Roa spoke, he fiddled with the fragments of the gun until all the fragments were restored to the most basic spirit particles.
"Of course, even if it is the same Noble Phantasm, it would be a different situation if it was used by a Heroic Spirit who is the messenger of the Throne. A Heroic Spirit might be able to defeat me. However, you, who only have a human body, will inevitably lose in the end no matter how much you use the Noble Phantasm."
Having said this, the Dead Apostle shook his head with some regret.
"Young man, you are both lucky and unlucky. Ordinary Dead Apostles do not need to use Noble Phantasms, and the Dead Apostles who need to use Noble Phantasms happen to be blood-sucking plants without intelligence and 'phenomena' that rely on human belief; that's why you didn't realize this simplest truth. Mutual promotion and mutual restraint, I am a snake, you are frogs, this is not a situation that can be changed by strategy or will."
PS: Jian Shao believes that the "Mystic Eyes of Life" and the "Mystic Eyes of Death Perception" are actually of the same level. If Roa knew the truth and gradually developed them like Fujino, he might be able to plunder vitality, transfer vitality, etc.
PS2: "Mystic Eye of Life" is the ability of Roa's eighteenth reincarnation, Toono Shiki. The official has never explained why this mystic eye was awakened, so there are several explanations. Here, Roa's understanding of life is getting deeper and deeper as he continues to reincarnate, and Toono Shiki's inhuman blood awakens it. Because it is Roa's understanding of life, it can be brought to the next reincarnation. .
