516 Snap! (1/2)

This was the first time Ayami had seen a counterattack spell so extravagant in appearance. The entire process looked amazing, not to mention the user was incredibly handsome as well. As a female, she felt that she was enjoying plenty of eye candy.

Ayami also liked the fact that the main Yin Yang Master on the other side who suffered from this counterattack was also a handsome boy. This was excellent.

This was exactly what she wanted to see in a duel!

Ayami placed some potato chips in her mouth and happily snacked while observing the duel.

Akatsuki successfully blocked the attack.

However, he still took a lot of damage. Large cracks appeared in all four of his spiritual pillars!

'Ridiculous! How did my ultimate attack spell rebound on me! Just how did he accomplish such a feat!?'

Akatsuki's loathing of Seiji Haruta was now increasing more than ever before! If only he had known how much power Seiji possessed, he would have eliminated Seiji via underhanded means before the duel no matter what!!

It was too late to regret things now.

So, what should he do?

Yashuu was being completely suppressed, so Yashuu being defeated was only a matter of time. Seiji would naturally then focus on Koogi and defeat her as well. Did that mean that he, Akatsuki Mitarai… would lose?

'No no no no no no no!!!!'

Just imagining the thought of losing made Akatsuki feel like he was about to go insane!

'I won't lose!

'Who cares if they have a way to suppress my power! I have another ace up my sleeve!!'

Akatsuki now had a vicious expression as he came to a decision and summoned over Shinobu the human puppet Spirit-branded Retainer.

Seiji, who was currently dealing with Yashuu, noticed that Akatsuki summoned Shinobu over to his side. It appeared that Akatsuki was casting some sort of major spell upon her.

Seiji felt an ominous premonition from this.

However, Natsuya and the others were currently locked in battle against the powered-up Koogi. Nobody had the free time to extract themselves and stop Akatsuki.

Seiji made a split-second decision and opened up his system. He speedily chose the [Mental suppression card – Desire to Retort] and chose to ”activate” it!

Target person to use it on: Akatsuki Mitarai!

Seiji immediately saw the blue-haired handsome boy seemingly freeze for a moment. It appeared that Akatsuki was being attacked by something invisible.

So, the attack must have been effective. Still, Seiji was unsure just what Akatsuki's mental state was like right now. He felt that in theory, being mentally suppressed would make spellcasting more difficult.

'I hope that your 'retorts' are quite effective, dear sister of mine!'

Hana, who was currently playing an MMORPG on her computer, sneezed.

Akatsuki suddenly felt his head becoming dizzy.

An indescribably strong emotion came over him, causing his thoughts to become dull and hazy. He also kept having strange thoughts.

'Who am I? Where am I? Why am I doing such meaningless things?

'Nothing in the world has any real meaning to it. My existence is meaningless as well. Everything will return to the void anyways.

'I really just want to go home, go to sleep in my bed, not care about anything, and stop thinking about anything. After all, someone like me can't…

'No, something's wrong!!!'

Akatsuki forcefully shook his head in an effort to shake off this strange condition that suddenly came over him.

This was a mental attack! Did Seiji's golden counterattack spell even have such an additional side effect? 'Damn it!!'

Akatsuki cast a protective mental magic upon himself to try and regain a clear mind. However, it didn't work.

'I don't have any time left. I need to hurry…'

Akatsuki forced himself to bear with his mental condition and continued spellcasting.

He was currently forcefully injecting the spiritual pillars' power into the human puppet's soul core. This would temporarily allow the human puppet to gain incredible power!

He had never tested this spell out before. Akatsuki researched the mysterious soul core he received from the equally mysterious merchant for quite a long time, but was still unable to find out how exactly it worked. He knew that such forceful injection of power into the soul core was likely to cause irreversible damage, or perhaps even an overload that could cause an explosion!

However, Akatsuki no longer cared about potential consequences.

'It's fine even if she overloads and explodes in the end. Before that happens, use all this power to defeat all my enemies, Shinobu!'

Akatsuki's spell caused strands of black light to speedily enter the human puppet's body and enter her soul core.
