I Can See Health Bars in Real Life-Chapter 359 - 20: Just a Half-Demon?

In an instant, the light of the Demon-Breaking Arrow had already reached in front of Kaguya.

The arrow did not follow a parabolic arc but advanced in a completely straight line like light, defying the common understanding of the laws of physics. Naturally, this phenomenon was achieved by combining magic and spiritual power.

After all, if it weren’t for this, relying solely on the basic performance of ancient bows and arrows, which would have a range of only about two hundred meters and an arrow speed of less than one-third of the speed of sound, attempting to use this to snipe those fantasy targets would be nearly impossible. It’s even debatable whether it could hit the target.

The arrow, imbued with the radiance of spiritual power, flew through the air, creating the effect from a distance like the arrowhead was fiercely rubbing against the air, causing a strong glow and heat, even appearing as brilliant as a meteor in the daytime sky, and with a speed so fast, it surpassed imagination.

However—

The ancient mirror suspended in front of Kaguya began to emit its own light.

Thus, the Demon-Breaking Arrow, which would have taken less than a blink of an eye to whistle swiftly to her, visibly slowed in its flight, as if it had been caught in some kind of force field, its forward momentum becoming sluggish; akin to an enhanced slow-motion effect in a movie, presenting a bullet-time-like effect.

The first ninety-nine percent of the journey took less than 0.1 seconds, but the remaining one percent stubbornly took over a second to cover.

The Demon-Breaking Arrow persisted in advancing resolutely bit by bit, but it also began to tremble slowly, the arrow shaft vibrating continuously, as if emitting some sort of hum...

Meanwhile, the mirror also started to shudder violently, but whether a book is long or short, this stalemate lasted for less than an instant. Accompanied by a crisp breaking sound, a prominent crack appeared on the mirror, and the Demon-Breaking Arrow was deflected back!

"Wha... what?!"

"This..."

For a moment, a trace of astonishment appeared in the beautiful eyes of both individuals locked in confrontation.

Kaguya did not expect this Witch to be so absurd, with pure spiritual power so terrifying it almost pierced through her mirror. Meanwhile, the Witch did not expect the Demon opposite to neither dodge nor yield, able to directly reflect her attack back, catching her somewhat off guard.

As if at this fateful moment—

The arrow she shot out, infused with powerful spiritual power, now roared back towards her like a dazzling meteor, akin to a truly intense thunderbolt, magnifying instantly in her eyes.

Yet, almost simultaneously, a figure appeared in front of her, with fox ears on its head and red pupils, the demonized features particularly obvious... This startled the Witch, unable to maintain her calm demeanor.

—Bang!

The pure glow of spiritual power burst forth, directly engulfing the surroundings, obscuring the view. Since it did not have explosive attributes, it did not create overly terrifying repercussions. There was neither a deafening explosion nor a vacuum shockwave that shattered the ground or buildings. However, this did not mean the power of the arrow was weak.

After all, the truly terrifying aspect was the spiritual power attached to the arrow.

With even a light brush under this radiant burst, regardless of how many demons were within this range, they would be directly reduced to ashes, evaporated completely clean.

This is a Demon-Breaking Special Attack with maximized power!

And the fierce impact of spiritual power still resulted in the Demon-Breaking Arrow creating a conspicuous crater, about a meter in diameter, upon hitting the asphalt surface. A faint warmth emanated from the pit bottom, with the arrow deeply embedded, leaving only about one-third of the shaft exposed, and the tail feathers trembling slightly.

"Hmph! Damn it... my mirror!"

Kaguya glared at the Mirror of Life floating in front of her, feeling heartbroken over the obvious crack on the mirror, gritting her teeth immediately. She raised her gaze fiercely towards the opposite high-rise.

The young man who had suddenly appeared, was holding the slender waist of the Witch, standing firmly on the rooftop over there.

......

"What... what is going on..."

Hojo looked at the sky in astonishment: "Is that, is that Kagome?"

Although his family’s ancestral teachings were very strange, indeed leading him to subconsciously connect it to some unusual developments, after all, that’s how it plays out in the movies. But rationally, he told himself this was impossible, this is a scientifically materialistic world, where elements of monster strength and supernatural events do not exist.

He firmly believed that the series of full moon phenomena over the past few days and his family’s ancestral teachings were merely coincidences.

This belief persisted until just moments ago when a flying woman appeared in the sky, carrying a terrifying pressure, clearly targeting him. Upon seeing the box in his hand, she immediately, without hesitation, launched an attack...

The ensuing developments left him dazzled, his body trembling slightly from fear and unease, along with many other emotions, like incredulity at encountering a new reality.

The other girls also stared blankly at the scene unfolding before them, feeling as if their worldview was shattering.

"Is that... Kagome?"

"Or did we really mistake her for someone else?!"

"What is going on... Am I still dreaming? Eri, pinched me!"
