My name is Levi, and I work in anime.

The matter was clear, and Li Wei had no intention of listening any further.

Whether it's the recent spate of cases in Tokyo or the amnesia caused by the shock to Yukinoshita's soul, it's all this guy's fault. Solving the problem is simple, though.

—The only way is to kill!

“Roya, you manipulate people’s hearts, harm living beings, lure innocent girls (Arcquet: Who? Me?), stifle the path to life of the sick, and though the bamboo of the Southern Mountains were exhausted, your crimes would not be enough; though the waves of the Eastern Sea were poured out, your evil would not be enough. A person like you has no value in living.”

As he spoke, Li Wei unleashed his magic, and the Sword of Light erupted with astonishing power. A beam of light, imbued with rage and judgment, was blasted out with all its might, accompanied by thunderous roars and dazzling lightning, rushing towards the white-haired youth like a sea dragon emerging from the ocean.

As a doctor, the boy knew all too well how desperate patients felt when their hope was rekindled after receiving medication, only to be dashed again. For the first time, he felt genuine anger.

On the other side, Arcueid wouldn't let this opportunity slip by either. She reached out with her claws in mid-air, the force of her claws tearing through the air with a piercing whistling sound, determined to rip her enemy, whom she had hunted down countless times, to shreds.

Boom!

Amidst a thunderous explosion, the light cannon and claw strikes hit their target, the sound of the collision shaking the universe, accompanied by thunderous roars and dazzling flashes of lightning.

"It's no use. This level of lethality is still too low."

As the smoke cleared, Roya, leaning against the golden statue of the saint, easily blocked the incredibly powerful attack, as if it were a gentle breeze or a leisurely stroll for him.

"Now all 20 million people in Tokyo are my batteries, and I can easily recover from any kind of damage."

He is called the Serpent of Akasha because of his astonishing regenerative abilities. After each fatal injury, he regenerates his skin in an endless cycle, like a snake shedding its skin and growing new one. After successfully scheming and obtaining the Golden Body of the Saint, his regenerative abilities become immeasurable.

And it's not just the recovery ability that's been enhanced.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Roya leaped forward, instantly appearing in front of Levi and Arcueid, and fiercely unleashed his magic to launch a counterattack.

Whether analyzed from the perspective of a martial artist or a magician, Roja's attacks could not be described as refined, even somewhat crude. But it was precisely this almost instinctive and ferocious attack that firmly suppressed the two.

Strength, speed, and magic—at this moment, Roya's strength in these three areas far surpassed that of Levi and Arcueid.

With his connection to the spiritual veins and the power provided by the desires of millions, his strength is now vastly different from what it used to be.

Just as Tono Shiki was recklessly squandering her abundant magical power and enjoying the joy of reaping the fruits of victory, Arcueid, who was being severely suppressed and even needed Levi to shield her from harm with his body, suddenly erupted. Her claws reached down, the air froze, the space locked, and an invisible barrier descended from the sky, tearing everything apart as it swiftly grabbed at the back of Roa's head.

“I’ve already said it, these things are useless to me.”

A flash of golden light from the Buddhist school blocked Arcueid's attack completely, preventing it from advancing any further. A burst of dazzling sparks erupted from the point where the claws collided with the barrier, producing a metallic sound.

The next moment, the two who had failed in their attack were defeated by Roja's monstrous strength. Despite having blocked the opponent's attack quite well, they were still sent flying by the irresistible force. Amidst the deafening series of explosions, Levi, who was holding Arcueid, was thrown high into the air as if hit head-on by a speeding train, crashing through multiple walls until he was finally brought to a stop under the rubble of the collapsed walls.

"Give up. The golden body of the saint has bestowed upon me noble divinity, and I have abandoned my weak body, merged with the earth's veins, and gained a life force like that of the living dead. You are no match for me."

Roya's tone couldn't hide his triumphant joy; in his view, everything was settled: "Your Highness, our feud must indeed be settled today. However, I am the victor."

"That means you now possess both necromancy and divinity."

Emerging from beneath the collapsed wall, Li Wei showed no sign of despair; instead, he seemed eager, as if he had spotted a rare live target.

The next moment, a long spear appeared in his hand.

Its sharp edges are piercing, and its crimson color resembles blood.

Chapter 60 Special Attack is Paramount, Self-Important God

"If you insist on understanding it that way, then there's no problem with it."

Confident of victory, Roya's face was full of the composure of a strongman: "I have some knowledge of Lord Li Wei, but I have never heard of you being an expert with a gun."

However, someone as skilled as you must be adept at handling any weapon.

"Actually, compared to using a sword, my graduation certificate actually identifies me as a spearman." Li Wei recalled his past with a hint of regret in his voice: "It's just that every time I change weapons, my luck value inexplicably decreases, so I generally avoid using them if I can."

[The Primal Rune], Li Wei's body suddenly tensed, his spear held horizontally, its sharpness unstoppable.

"However, today's situation is special. You are both divine and undead, so it would be a waste not to use you."

[The Wisdom of the Demon Realm], Luo Ya felt his body completely locked, with multiple vital points exposed.

"Although I don't know the extent to which the Golden Body and the Spirit Veins can repair your body, I'm sure Scáthach will be very interested."

[Godslayer], the Akasha Serpent, with the instinct of a wild beast, issues a deafening alarm, for the next attack must not be taken head-on.

"Let me see your power, Roya. If you fail, I will take your life."

Accompanied by this inexplicably terrifying shout, a chilling crimson light, swift as thunder and lightning, attacked from before his eyes, instantly covering a distance of more than ten feet, and shot towards him like lightning.

The gun is me! I am the gun! — The gun that pierces through death!

Luo Ya, having survived 17 reincarnations and been known as the Infinite Reincarnator, had experienced countless battles, large and small, and his knowledge was undeniably vast. Every cell in his body was desperately reminding him not to take the blow head-on; even before his brain could react, his body had already automatically taken a step back, ready to turn and dodge.

But he abruptly stopped his retreat.

As Li Wei received all three layers of protection, a chilling light locked onto him, making him feel that even if he went to heaven or earth, there was no way he could avoid this spear strike.

He could even sense that the boy longed for him to dodge and retreat—which would expose his body even more and cause him greater harm.

Before he could react, the spear, imbued with the power to slay gods and demons, had already sped towards him and was about to pierce down on his head.

"Little tricks!"

The Serpent of Akasha mustered its strength, desperately drawing upon the energy of the earth's spiritual veins and countless desires to protect its vitals. The saint's golden body shone brightly, forming an impregnable barrier, directly confronting the crimson spear that had locked his aura in place, leaving him no way to dodge and only able to withstand the attack.

However, to his surprise, just before the spear collided head-on with the barrier, he inexplicably experienced a moment of dizziness, causing his defensive stance to briefly fail. Without giving him any time to react, the spear, like a dragon, pierced straight through Roya's body.

【Piercing Death Spear】, a signature skill taught to Livi by Scáthach, inflicts a stun effect on a single enemy and has an instant-death effect.

"Are you kidding me? I'm not going to die here."

After the brief dizziness subsided, Roya, finding himself pierced through, channeled his magic to its fullest extent, his powerful life force relentlessly repairing his wounded body. A tug-of-war ensued between the power of life and the treasure of the Land of the Dead.

As the queen who guards the realm of the dead, Scáthach is undoubtedly the most outstanding warrior against the undead. Roya's attempt to reincarnate his body into a living dead is consistent with Achilles' method of immersing himself in the River Styx, and from all angles, there is nothing wrong with it. However, things are unpredictable, and he never expected that he would be targeted in this way.

However, even so, killing him is not an easy task.

puff!

The spear finally pierced Roya's body, but only left a conspicuous penetrating wound; it failed to kill him. The spear, still carrying considerable force, pierced through the wall, then through several more walls before finally losing momentum and crashing to the ground.

"I won!" This thought immediately popped into Roya's mind.

The next moment, Arcueid seized the opportunity and appeared behind Roya like a ghost. Like a dragon reaching out with its claws, it slid its hand through the hole and into the white-haired boy's abdomen, instantly shredding all his internal organs.

"It's no use, no matter how serious the injury..."

This time, the spiritual veins and golden body that had previously helped him withstand countless fatal injuries did not provide any assistance.

He looked back sharply and was shocked to find that Li Wei was holding a dagger. Taking advantage of the moment when he was fighting against the Piercing Death Spear, Li Wei used the Myriad Talismans to break the rules and sever the connection between his golden body, spiritual veins and him.

This wound will never heal!

Upon realizing this reality, the Akasha Serpent felt dizzy and its body leaned forward uncontrollably, collapsing to the ground and unable to get up no matter what it did.

After Bigan's heart was ripped out, he walked out of the main hall without changing his expression, and died upon hearing the words "water spinach has no heart." This is quite similar to the story of Luo Ya.

"Did I lose?" the Akasha Serpent, lying on its back on the ground, uttered this question.

"Yes, you lost completely."

After closing Sesshouin's coffin, Li Wei walked to his side and gave a positive answer: "People who have been suppressing their feelings for too long will always make mistakes when the results come. If you can be more careful and wait a few more years, the plan might succeed."

A dying person's words are often kind, and a young person doesn't mind saying a few more words to someone who is about to die.

"You really don't hold back, Lord Li Wei."

Hearing this, Roya, who knew he was doomed, sighed, then laughed: "I see, I understand, I can certainly use this next time."

It's just one failure. I've experienced this seventeen times already. At worst, I'll just win it back in the next reincarnation.

Your own reincarnations are endless, but you will always make mistakes.

"It seems you've misunderstood something."

Runes shimmered around Li Wei, and with a violent surge of magical energy, Roya felt as if he were being banished into the void.

"You won't die so easily. Over there, there are people who are very good at dealing with death, waiting for you."

This was the last thing the Serpent of Akasha heard before it lost consciousness.

……

The Land of Shadows, the Land of the Dead.

"Is this the Infinite Reincarnator that Li Wei was talking about? Does that mean his soul is extremely resilient to death, so he can be any kind of target without any problem?"

The purple-haired queen looked at the package her disciple had banished to her, and scrutinized Roya from head to toe with the same gaze a medical student would give a lab rat.

The unconscious Akasha serpent instinctively shivered.

It seems unlikely that he will be able to reincarnate this time.

Chapter 61 A Perfect or Imperfect Ending

"It's over. It's finally over."

Lying on his bed in his bedroom, Levi felt utterly exhausted. A strong sense of fatigue swept over him, and he immediately fell asleep as soon as Arcueid carried him to bed.

After Roya was banished by the boy, the out-of-control spiritual veins were restored to tranquility with the timely arrival of various experts. Most of the people who were affected and controlled by their desires also returned to peace.

Most people feel embarrassed afterward, since they said whatever came to mind after being affected, and there will probably be resentment when they get along in the future.

Of course, a few couples also took this opportunity to successfully confess their feelings and eventually get together, which is something to celebrate.

The strangest thing is Kasugano Haruka, who inexplicably booked an appointment with an orthopedic specialist, and I don't know what strange things happened.

A small number of people were still unable to escape the effects, and the exorcism team locked them up in mental hospitals for treatment. According to Huang Quan, the stronger a person was and the closer they were to the source of the pollution, the greater the impact and the longer the aftereffects would last.

Numerous public facilities have been damaged, and personal property has suffered severe losses. This is a headache for both government departments and insurance companies, and it cannot be simply dismissed with a gas guarantee.

After that, the enormous Yukinoshita, along with her two daughters, personally visited to express her gratitude for the help she had given her during this time. Her manners were impeccable throughout, and she was completely unrecognizable as the thirteen-year-old girl she once was.

Just before the family left, Yoko, the last one to leave, turned her head back as if by accident and silently uttered a few words.

Based on Li Wei's experience, what she said was, "Thank you, big brother."

It seems that the thirteen-year-old girl has not completely disappeared.

After cleaning up the mess, treating the wounded, and fighting the Serpent of Akasha without rest, the young man worked until late at night before he was finally able to rest.

"Ah, really."

Arcueid, standing by the bed, looked at Levi's sleeping face and couldn't help but show a satisfied expression.

Ah, ah, that's wonderful.

If I could, I really want to... No, he'll get angry.

But then again, as long as those human females aren't harmed, it should be fine, right?

He's a good person. Even if he's angry for a moment, he'll definitely forgive himself, right?

Yes, that's how it is. By then, what's done is done. At worst, I can compensate him later. I'm willing to do whatever I want.

Arcueid's pupils gradually turned into a divine gold, losing their emotionful color and replaced by an aura of majesty and divinity that transcended all things.

……

So, a few hours later, at the highest point of the Ferris wheel at Amagi Glory Park.

"How nostalgic!"

Wearing a bathrobe, barefoot, with the night breeze ruffling her increasingly long black hair, Ryougi Shiki, the local bully from Guanbu City, made this remark without any sense of being a hostage.

Listening to her words alone, it's easy to misunderstand that she's simply wandering around like a nocturnal sprite, rather than being abducted from her hometown by the true progenitor of vampires.

"Nostalgia?" Arcueid tilted her head, looking puzzled.

“Yes, I miss it.” Ryougi affirmed her words: “This is the place where Avi first took me on a date, and it’s also the place where I first realized I liked him.”

As if completely disregarding the other person's feelings and their own situation, Shi casually uttered these words.

"Really? That's certainly something to remember."

The foolish vampire paused for a moment, of course, only for a fleeting instant. After that, she casually gazed at the scenery, seemingly unconcerned about anything.

However, her increasingly indifferent golden eyes proved that her heart was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.

Do you know why I brought you here?

“Although I’ve never met you before, I can more or less guess that it’s Avi’s romantic entanglements outside.” As if completely unaware, Ryougi’s words continued to stimulate the other’s nerves: “After all, good men are always popular, and it doesn’t matter how unhappy I am.”

"He has so many ambiguous relationships with women, aren't you angry?"
