so I Can Take My Time Perfecting My Magical Ability 2nd Season

Episode 16: Civil War

Does anyone have an idea what just happened to us?

If you're suggesting we all took a spill at the same time, then that's kind of a stretch.

Wait... is this... But it can't be...

You stupid—

He extended something.

Again?! Why am I sitting?!

That was just, uh... my legs kinda went...

Well, my arms haven't been working right, either.

So, we don't even know what's happening to us.

Doesn't get much worse.

Oh, no.

This power... but that shouldn't be possible....

Rip

He just dodges three combined sneak attacks, huh?

This is starting to get depressing.

Spinal cords and automatic reflexes.

Get a load of this. It's fascinating.

Twitch

Kinda looks like...

Twitch

Incredibly thin bone?

Twitch

It's a spinal thread. That's what he was extending.

I'm sure of it now! This has to be...

The Neuron Blighted?

Yeah.

He's a Blighted born in a small province...

And his body apparently produces an endless strand of spinal threads, made from mana.

When they would make contact with someone else's limbs,

they'd interfere with their motor nerves, and override the brain's commands.

Throw Scissors

On top of that, the spinal threads wrapped around his skin

have mana signatures for evasion and counter-attack etched onto them,

which means he can move faster than the speed of thought...

He was sent into battle in order to quell a civil war that was raging in the country.

Like a biological weapon...

They treated a Blighted like a weapon?!

He couldn't control his power any more than we can,

but he tipped the balance of power.

Tearing through anyone he came in contact with, friend and foe alike...

Even after being shot through the heart, he continued to kill on automated reflex.

Having become both untouchable and the walking dead,

they had to blow off a chunk of a cliff in order to send him into the sea.

As his body sunk below the raging waves, he continued to struggle the entire time...

Hey, you're right! Now that I know what to look for, I can see tiny strings!

But this doesn't make sense!

He was said to have died, and sunk into the sea!

Rip

But if what you said is true,

then even after death, his body continued to move, correct?

Rip

That would've been automatic, mechanical reflexes!

Nothing as... clever as this.

It shouldn't be possible.

So, did the washed up body turn into a ghoul?

Because I've never heard of a ghoul retaining memories of its life.

We don't have time to wonder about it! Here he comes!

And now that we know the trick, dodging a few strings

should be easy!

There are...

...too damn many!

Bend the Knee

Fall Onto Your Head

Don't Break Your Fall

What are you doing?!

Master, if I have to possess a body, I'd rather it be a sweet one like hers.

That's quite all right. I'll dispose of this trash, then.

Father!

By all means, make good use of her.

I was getting sick of her singing, anyway.

Something wrong, Pastor? You lost again?

You need me to show you the way?

I'm afraid you have nothing to show me.

What're you staring at, you waterlogged corpse?! You wanna go?!

Simmer down, Jihriel.

Snip

Snip

Snip

I get it now!

Right. It's more or less clear.

They all made it past the spinal threads!

But he blocked all their blows?!

That bag of bones can use those spinal threads reflexes to defend, too!

A splendid blade catch. But even if you can react to anything...

you only have so many limbs.

And right now, your hands are occupied.

Entangled Poison Butterflies.

Ren, poison isn't going to affect a ghoul!

Actually...

It worked?!

That was a neurotoxin.

I'd wager that those spinal threads have a direct connection to his own nervous system.

And if you paralyze him, those mana-crafted spinal threads will lose control as well.

No more automatic reflexes for you!

The paralysis won't last forever! Finish him quickly, please!

Got it!

He can harden the spinal threads and make them sharp as a saw!

Just spamming those things would be plenty dangerous!

Trying to buy time until the paralysis works off, huh?

Hundred Flowers Fist: Wrecking Wheels!

I guess...

you get to have the best part!

Toss

And I accept it.

Pitiful undead, I will ferry you to the other side...

Leaving not even your regrets.

House of Langlis, Dual Blade Craft,

Lion Roar!

Yes!

That guy can kiss my butt!

We did it! We beat him! Tao! Sylpha!

No. His automatic reflexes came back just before I struck him.

I believe he was able to break his fall. Not only that...

But considering my sword is still floppy...

Flip flop

You were fighting with that thing?!

I had thought that Blighted couldn't control their powers.

But it seemed pretty clear that he had complete control over his...

This matter might be more serious than I had thought.

We can't afford to let him escape.

It stands to reason I'd struggle with a trio of adventurers who are that strong.

The Master is still at the church. But I'm worked up.

Should I go have some fun on the surface?

The day the Master is waiting for is near...

Until then, our little game is on hold, adventurers.

We'll meet again when the time is right.

so I Can Take My Time Perfecting My Magical Ability 2nd Season

The word that best describes my life would be "shit," I think.

It consisted of being abused, with no place to belong, before ending.

Which explains how I ended up as a wraith.

Ethereals can posses the bodies of the living, controlling them.

But in my case, that only worked on those who were weak of spirit.

There was no way I could get revenge like that.

And the spirits of strong bodies proved to be too strong.

That was when I met my Master...

This body is quite the rare find that I recently pieced back together.

Civil War's body continued to wield incredible power even after passing away...

And it accepted me without resistance.

Maybe we had something in common, having only encountered abuse and suffering before death.

That body is yours now.

When I asked him what he wanted in exchange, he laughed...

Nothing, really. Use it as you see fit.

So, the first thing I did was slaughter all the bastards who drove me to death.

And after that...

After that... I didn't have a plan.

And Master said something that made me think he knew it was going to turn out that way.

Welcome home.
