Chapter 282

By chance, Araya Souren learned of Ryougi Shiki's existence, so he treated Ryougi Shiki as his key to reaching the Root, and whether it was Shirazumi Rio or Asagami Fujino, he was actually the one pushing things behind the scenes.

Lin Ye has always known of his existence, just never had the time to deal with him. Now, because of his own reasons, Araya Souren finally can't sit still and has delivered himself to his door, so Lin Ye naturally won't be so polite.

【September 1997: You successfully enter the University of Tokyo to study. Lin Ye founds an anime company with a man named Waver Velvet—Lin Ye is responsible for creation, and Waver is responsible for management.

2001: You successfully graduate from the University of Tokyo. Your swordsmanship level increases to C. In the same year, the manga Lin Ye created becomes world-famous.

2002: You and Lin Ye return to the Ryougi family. You officially challenge your father. After a battle, you successfully defeat your father, and you officially become the head of the Ryougi family.

2003: Lin Ye tells you there is something he must do. He is going to Fuyuki City to participate in a battle called the Holy Grail War, and asks if you are willing to go with him. You choose...】

【Option 1: For eight years, you and Lin Ye have never been separated, and you naturally won't leave him now.

Option 2: You have just taken over as the head of the Ryougi family and have many things to do, so you won't go with Lin Ye this time.】

"I choose one." Ryougi Shiki chooses one without hesitation. She has been with Lin Ye for eight years, from the age of 15 until 23. She has become accustomed to the feeling of Lin Ye being by her side; how could she be separated from Lin Ye?

【September 2003: You and Lin Ye settle in Fuyuki City. Lin Ye tells you about the Holy Grail War... You learn that as long as you win the Holy Grail War, you can have one wish granted. You suddenly ask Lin Ye excitedly, "Can I wish to become as strong as you?"】

Lin Ye smiles and nods. "Being as strong as me is a bit difficult, but being dozens of times stronger than you are now is very easy."】

"It's really possible!"

Ryougi Shiki is excited. Although her swordsmanship is amazing under Lin Ye's guidance and her physical fitness far exceeds that of ordinary people, in the end, she is still at the level of an ordinary person. Ryougi Shiki is certainly not satisfied with this level of strength, especially since she is with a freak-level existence like Lin Ye every day, making her even more eager for strength.

Because of Lin Ye, Ryougi Shiki's life can be said to be smooth sailing; she didn't even obtain the most iconic Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. She is naturally dissatisfied with her own strength.

Now, the Holy Grail War gives her this opportunity.

【June 2004: The Holy Grail War begins. You see Lin Ye draw a strange magic circle on the ground, then he suddenly turns his head and asks you, "Do you really want to participate in the Holy Grail War?"】

You nod in confirmation. Seeing you nod, Lin Ye points to the magic circle before him and says to you, "Since you are sure, then stand here and give it a try."】

You walk directly into the magic circle. You stand in the center of the magic circle, and immediately after, Lin Ye starts chanting strange incantations.

Hum!

In an instant, you feel a powerful force surge directly from within your body! You feel your eyes itching and aching. You constantly rub your eyes, but it's of no use!

【The moment you hear Lin Ye chant, "Come from the Wheel of Restraint! Guardian of the Balance!"】

Boom!

You feel your strength undergo a earth-shaking change! And in your eyes, all things in the world seem to be connected together by black lines!

You also learn the name of this ability from the information in your mind!

Mystic Eyes of Death Perception!
