Chapter 25: Chapter 25: Chakra? Strange Energy
Yamata-no-Orochi growled, the eight dragon heads moving in unison, creating a thunderous sound that seemed to shake the entire space around them.
"This is all your fault, human!" The voice of Yamata-no-Orochi echoed simultaneously in each head, filling the subconscious with an uncontrollable sense of hatred.
"If only you hadn't used that ability of yours! Damn it!"
"This would never have happened! The great power you possess... my body is disappearing so quickly!"
"Even my soul, which should be able to reincarnate, is being sucked away by something I can't control!"
"And when I became aware, I was already here, trapped!"
"My soul is now bound to yours! All of this is because of you, damn it!"
Reiji listened attentively, although his face still showed displeasure.
Slowly, a thin smile began to form on his lips.
"Really? So... does that mean if I die, you will also die?" Reiji asked in a cold, intimidating tone, his sharp gaze challenging every word that came from Yamata-no-Orochi's mouth.
The eight dragon heads suddenly fell silent, as if shocked to hear such a simple yet threatening question.
Yamata-no-Orochi turned its face away, trying to hide its anxiety.
"... No! Of course not!" Yamata-no-Orochi exclaimed in a stammering tone, almost as if trying to convince itself.
"Really?" Reiji repeated his question, this time with an even thinner and sharper smile, creating an increasingly tense atmosphere.
"Of course!" Yamata-no-Orochi said in a louder tone, trying to cover up the panic that was beginning to show in its eyes.
However, Reiji did not release his gaze, continuing to observe it with full vigilance.
"Really... then what if I stab myself after I come out of my subconscious?" Reiji asked again, his mischievous smile still visible, like someone playing a dangerous game.
Yamata-no-Orochi's eyes widened, its expression suddenly turning panicked, and its voice rose, "What? Are you crazy!?"
Reiji shrugged casually, as if unaffected by Yamata-no-Orochi's anger.
"Crazy? Aren't you the one who has seen my madness?" Reiji said, his voice filled with cold confidence.
"When I face you alone, without help from anyone, isn't that enough to show how crazy I am?"
Reiji smiled, a smile so sharp and challenging, his eyes remained watchful.
"Ugh!" Yamata-no-Orochi growled with an annoyed expression, becoming increasingly impatient.
Yamata-no-Orochi bit its lip, as if trying to hold back its anger, but its face could not hide the anxiety creeping over its entire body.
"Hehehe... So what? Do you want to know?" Reiji asked again, his smile still playful, as if enjoying the psychological game unfolding.
"Damn it! So what do you want!" Yamata-no-Orochi finally couldn't hold back any longer, its voice growing more irritated and full of anger.
The eight dragon heads bowed down, as if acknowledging defeat in this mental game.
Reiji moved a little closer, looking at Yamata-no-Orochi with full attention.
"So you admit that you will die if I die, yes...?" Reiji said, his voice now sounding deeper, full of emphasis.
Yamata-no-Orochi gritted its teeth, its expression growing more annoyed. "Damn... Yes! Bastard, just say what you want!"
Yamata-no-Orochi's eyes burned with anger, but there was a clear fear hidden behind that gaze.
The eight dragon heads exchanged glances, but there was nothing they could do to avoid the increasingly clear reality.
Reiji smiled with satisfaction, enjoying the tension that had been created. "Very good," Reiji whispered, and his smile widened in triumph.
"Can you feel the Chakra?" Reiji asked with sharp curiosity, his gaze scrutinizing Yamata-no-Orochi closely.
"Chakra? That strange energy you use?" Yamata-no-Orochi replied with a confused expression, as if questioning what Reiji meant.
