Part 6

Basara watched Shiba turn the building to dust and it dawned on him. So that was Shiba’s ability. What Shiba just shot out from his palm wasn’t magic. It was most likely “Ki”. Unlike Magic, which was used by higher beings such as spirits, Ki was available in abundance on Earth. The Five Elements themselves are all properties of different Ki. Ki resided in nature, and people and animals were not exempt from that. But for people and animals, their spirit determined how their Ki was used. There were those within the Hero Tribe who were able to channel their Ki for combat, but those numbers were few as the Heroes themselves usually fought using the power of the Four Gods. And those who did fight using Ki were usually only able to use the Ki within their body.

What Shiba used right now was definitely Ki. And from the brown color, Basara was certain that Shiba was channeling the Earth energy of the central district. Shiba must be able to manipulate Ki to fight with.

The very reason Shiba set up the Five Element dimensional barrier was probably for him to absorb all the Ki that was being generated from the different complementing and opposing elements in the area.

Basara finally understood now. Even if he may be faster than Shiba, things such as “killing intent” and “presence” were all parts of Ki. That’s how Shiba was able to sense and predict all of Basara’s attacks. And with Takashi, even if he was able to physically block Shiba’s attack, all Shiba had to do was channel and overload Takashi with Ki to damage him indirectly. A well trained Ki user is able to channel the Ki from the elements to and fro one’s body. It was no surprise that a master Ki user like Shiba would be able to channel Ki through other people.

Now that Basara knew what Shiba’s ability was, he could finally formulate a plan to defeat him. But Shiba must be aware of Basara’s trump card. The Universal Rejection that he used against Celis, which allows him to negate all physical and magical properties. The Universal Rejection must have negated the visual magic that Shiba was using to observe the match. So he must have a faint idea as to what Basara’s trump move may be. Shiba also must be aware now that Basara is able to use his Banishing Shift again, unlike when he was fighting Celis.

He wasn’t able to use his Banishing Shift then because of the contract he had with Chisato screwed up the spiritual balance inside his body. But with the help of Belphegor’s spirit restoring balance during his fight with Celis, he was also able to remove the corruption within Takashi’s body. Shiba wouldn’t have known about this as he had already left the village by then. But for someone who can sense Ki, Shiba should be able to sense that something had changed in Basara’s spiritual makeup.

And the way he was acting so relaxed, there must still be many cards for him to play.
