Spell Return: The Wheel of Time

Chapter 313 The Clash of Will and Emotion
Imitation: Wheel of Time

In an instant, Yuta Otsutsuka entered that intoxicated state again. In this special time that was separated from the real world, all existences that could not transcend time were like fish on a chopping board, and could only be slaughtered by him.

But now there is a problem: the fish on the chopping board is too big and tough, and the "cleaver" in Otsutsuki's hand may not be able to kill it easily.

In the timeless state, Otsutsuki easily approached the Snow Girl, but as the distance shortened, he clearly felt the influence of the opponent's technique on his emotions rapidly increasing, especially when the Snow Girl was unable to resist and was broken through at a distance even closer than during the battle.

All the murderous intent and impulse disappeared without a trace, and the sudden goodwill that arose at this moment turned into the most real love. At this moment, in Otsutsuki's heart, the shadow of the Snow Girl actually began to compete with Rika.

"No, absolutely not allowed!"

Past memories began to emerge in Otsutsuki's mind. Those ordinary memories, just the youthful pasts of countless boys and girls, became important nodes that anchored Otsutsuki's rationality at this moment.

The anger and fear caused by this were suppressed to almost nothing by the Snow Woman, but Otsutsuki's reason told him that there was only one person he loved, and that was Rika Kimoto, with whom he had shared a real past!
After all, the Snow Woman affects emotions, not memories that are created out of nothing. This forced affection cannot create even false memories. It is precisely because of this that Otsutsuki is more affected by the Snow Woman when he is close to her and does not kneel down and become her puppet.

"Don't think too much, just cut it down! She is not Rika and she can't replace Rika, don't think too much..."

Otsutsuki almost suppressed all his thoughts. The pain and despair that should have come from going against his "instinct" and swinging his sword at the one he "loves" did not appear because of the Snow Girl's technique, but this did not mean that Otsutsuki would not be affected.

Emotions and the release of emotions are important in maintaining rational thinking. Without emotions, one cannot be called a human being. If emotions are not released, the string called rationality will eventually break.

When the ordinary cursed sword in Otsutsuki's hand chopped down the body of the defenseless Snow Girl again and again, his heart seemed to be strangled by the invisible sharp blade, but he did not feel any pain or other emotions.

But Otsutsuki felt his sanity or thinking gradually collapse. In this state, he was like a person falling towards a cliff. During the fall, he did not feel the fear of impending death. Instead, his sanity even analyzed all the details of his current situation.

“That’s right…Since she didn’t absolutely control the disappearance or rise of emotions based on the rules, then the pain, anger, etc. that were affected did not disappear, but were taken away by her.

But those emotions did occur, and their sudden disappearance would inevitably cause a shock to the mind, and such shocks would sooner or later break through the embankment if they became frequent. "

Otsutsuki seemed to have realized something. He also thought that maybe if his will was strong enough, he could avoid the influence of the favorability exerted by the Snow Woman Ritual. At that time, at most he would not be able to exert his full strength, but he would still be able to fight.

But combined with the enlightenment at this moment, if a person's will is too firm and keeps challenging this real goodwill, then his spirit is likely to collapse before he becomes the Snow Girl's puppet.

To make an inappropriate analogy, it is like asking you to kill the person you love most over and over again, and all the negative emotions that should arise from this will disappear. If your mind has not moved in this direction, you may not even notice this trend towards the cliff.

"Dongtang's plan is correct, we don't have much chance left..."

Without any extra emotions, Yuta Otsutsuki quickly completed a round of attacks on the Snow Girl. He did not forget that his goal this time was just to test her, so he did not imitate the technique to the maximum extent.

After leaving considerable injuries on the snow woman, Otsutsuki lifted the technique.

From the perspective of others, the Snow Girl had just completed a round of confrontation with Hyō Kinji and after the two sides separated, a large amount of white gas-liquid mixture like icy mist suddenly burst out from her body.

The perfect body of the Snow Girl also broke into several parts, but there was no blood or flesh flying around. It was as if she was really an elf made of ice and snow. Even the appearance of her broken body was so beautiful.

After canceling the spell, Otsutsuki came to Toudou and quickly told him what he had just discovered. After this reminder, Toudou quickly realized that something was wrong. However, the close combat between him and the Snow Girl did not last long, so he was not affected deeply.

But what about Kinji?

After realizing this, Toudou immediately began to doubt Kyō Kinji's current condition. This guy's crazy fight with the Snow Girl might be a sign that he has been affected!
“We must take action!”

Dongtang immediately turned around and told his plan to the people who were fighting at a distance and had just retreated from the close combat with the Snow Girl. There was no complicated and scheming scheme, only the "brutal" way of seeing through the enemy's tactics and choosing the most direct way to deal with it!
Calculating the time, it was almost time for Hyo Kinji to deploy one round of his domain. Dongtang immediately called out to the former as a reminder, and then activated his own technique to replace Hyo Kinji.

"Scales! Are you okay?"

Xing Qiluo Luo was very aware of something wrong with Cheng Jinci after he withdrew from the battle. After losing his state of being immersed in the battle, he instantly felt the emptiness and rupture in his heart...

But at this moment, even Xing Qiluo Luo couldn't put too much energy on him, because the decisive moment was about to come.

The first ones to rush forward were Panda, Maki and Miwa Kasumi who had activated gorilla mode. With the presence of Toudou, they would be responsible for restraining and injuring the Snow Girl in close combat.

Then, long-range attacks will be carried out mainly by Kamo Kenshin, Mechanical Maru, Inumaki Satoru and others. They must work together at an appropriate time to force the Snow Girl into a desperate situation and force her to deploy her territory during or before their attack.

Only in this way can Otsutsuki create the opportunity to decide the outcome.

After the battle plan was finalized and the real action was taken, the intensity of the attack increased significantly. After all, this so-called goodwill did not have such a significant impact on many of them.

Maki doesn't have a favorite person. If she really asks herself, perhaps her only sister can be considered as this person, but this kind of love is much more complicated. Coupled with her heaven and curse, Maki is probably the least affected.

The next one is Panda. The Snow Girl's technique can only allow him to shift the former's existence towards the direction of the Night Moth's righteous path. After all, he is just a suddenly mutated cursed corpse that is harmless to humans and animals. Isn't it a bit too much for Panda to talk about these things?

Miwa Kasumi does not have such innate conditions. She is just an ordinary girl with cursed power. She is also a fan, but the ones she chases are people like Kamigōichi and Gojo Satoru.

Speaking of people she loves, Kasumi Miwa does have a lot of them, including Mai, Nishimiya, Utahime-sensei, and...

She was affected by many things, and the reason why she was still able to participate in close combat was partly because of the new Yin-style swordsmanship she practiced.

Miwa Kasumi knew that she could not influence the direction of the battle with her own abilities. The only role she could play was to do her best to involve some of the power of the Snow Girl.

But she couldn't completely control the emotional impact of this technique, so she took a shortcut and used the New Yin-Ryu's kendo philosophy to carry out the battle.

That is, victory is not achieved by killing the Snow Girl, but by not being killed by her.

Of course, this does not mean that Sanlun Xia has to keep escaping, but that she should defeat the opponent without any killing intention in the battle, and ultimately save the opponent's life.

Such a concept is undoubtedly inappropriate for the brutal battle of spells, especially when the enemy is a cursed spirit. Therefore, the sorcerers who practice this sword art basically do not study this concept, and only learn the skills without understanding the truth.

However, this useless way of kindness was unexpectedly suitable for Miwa Kasumi's situation at this moment. As long as she did not regard the Snow Girl as an enemy who must be killed, she would not suffer too much emotional backlash. She could even regard this battle as a "competition" with a "close" person that she must win.

Even because her emotions such as fear, retreat and hesitation were almost suppressed by the Snow Girl's technique, Miwa Kasumi instead displayed a strength far beyond her usual level. It can be said that she was the only exception among the crowd whose combat effectiveness increased instead of decreased.

Turn your attention back to the battlefield.

Before the Snow Girl's injuries were fully recovered, violent attacks had already come. The Snow Girl, who could only rely on cursed power to defend herself, was better off fighting against just a few people. By absorbing emotions to strengthen herself, she was able to display a cursed spirit level that was no less than some specialized defensive spells.

But what she is facing now is not some small fry, but the elites trained by powerful sorcerers from two high schools of sorcery and even the top figures in the world of sorcery today.

If it was an ordinary special-grade cursed spirit, it would have been crushed to ashes and completely exorcised under the siege of this group of people.

Now, under the unreserved siege of the crowd, the Snow Girl was caught in an unprecedented predicament.

"Interstellar flight!"

The long-range support team standing far away was less affected. Xing Qiluo Luo used spells to continuously assist her companions in avoiding some of the Snow Girl's attacks, or used the traction effect caused by her own spells to complete tactical changes.

Mai, Nishimiya Momo, Mechanical Maru and others took advantage of every opportunity to use long-range attacks to fill the gaps in Toudou and others' rotating attacks, striving to completely cover the Snow Girl with their offensive and not give her a chance to breathe.

Kenshin Kamo and Satoru Inugami, who are regarded as one of the important nodes, are waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity for a fatal attack created by the coordination of different techniques.

Finally, in Toudou and his men's attack at all costs, the severely hit Snow Girl finally experienced a stagnation between the flow of cursed power to attack and repair.

"stop!"

The forced use of the curse again immediately caused Inumaki Shoto to spit blood, but this also allowed Kamo Kenji to pause this brief moment.

"Bai Lian·Through blood!"

laugh--

A flash of blood pierced through the void from the tip of Kamo Kenji's closed palm, leaving only a residual bloody track in the air, and the next moment it hit the Snow Girl's forehead. This technique, which had been prepared for a long time and performed with all his strength, instantly emptied Kamo Kenji's remaining blood reserves, and even cost him some blood.

But its effect was immediate and outstanding. The spurting blood instantly pierced the Snow Girl's head. Such a heavy blow would naturally not be missed by Toudou, Maki and others.

What he wanted was to 'kill you while you're sick'. Toudou almost had tears in his eyes as he shot out black flashes. Like Otsutsuki, Toudou had no special methods and could only rely on the resistance of will to suppress the distortion of the "love" in his heart for the former.

The consequence of this is that their spirits are gradually approaching their limits. Even Dongtang's tears are caused by the body's self-reaction, but there is no corresponding grief.

"Triple Exorcism Cannon!"

"New Kage-ryu: Draw the sword!"

"Kama Ichidan·Giant!"

……

As if pre-arranged, the numerous methods and attacks followed one after another and fell on the latter after Kamo Kenji's "Blood Piercing" severely injured the Snow Girl.

The Snow Girl, who had been hit hard one after another, could no longer use her cursed power to heal her body efficiently. At this moment, she sensed the breath of death.

So driven by her fighting instinct, she finally released her trump card in the spell battle.

The snow falling from the sky condensed into a pair of illusory arms around her, and then pairs of arms wrapped around the snow girl like petals blooming one after another, like a lotus platform built by arms of ice and snow.

"The field expands..."
