21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 465 : 461 - : Pineapple Pineapple Da (Seeking Monthly Tickets at the Beginning of the Month, wow)

Rage scorched through Old Man Tashiro's mind, having forgotten to compute how much of his lifespan was being burned away by using the secret technique to consume all of his power—his only thought was to kill Jounouchi Hiromi and seize everything she had!

With a hideous expression and a face smeared with blood, paired with a bleeding severed arm, Old Man Tashiro looked exceptionally terrifying, like an Evil Ghost crawling out of hell.

"Kill you! Kill you! Kill you!" The intent to kill and evil thoughts had completely corroded Old Man Tashiro, revealing the evil fruits of having once killed his entire family for a sacrificial offering.

The souls and resentment of those he had devoured still entwined around his own soul, cursing him constantly and eroding his soul. It was clear that these grudges, usually suppressed by his own power, had finally corroded his soul.

"He's actually gone demonically insane—it really is true that power gained through crooked and evil ways isn't presentable," Maeda Toshiie said disdainfully as he watched Old Man Tashiro, who had obviously gone mad.

Although he showed contempt, Maeda Toshiie felt Old Man Tashiro's aura grow more and more intense; he cautiously positioned himself in front of Jounouchi Hiromi, brandished his lance, and blocked the first wave of Old Man Tashiro's attack.

Indeed, Old Man Tashiro used crooked methods to attain Sub-Legendary Level power, but it's undeniable that such methods can be quite tempting because they do have their unique advantages. At least in terms of pure power acquisition, crooked methods might have many side effects, but their efficiency cannot be denied.

At least at that moment, the aura of the completely demonized Old Man Tashiro had the faint tendency to break through to Legendary status.

Seeing this, Maeda Toshiie became even more cautious. Although Jounouchi Hiromi also possessed Sub-Legendary strength, as a samurai, it was a disgrace to have the lady of the house close to the battlefield. If Jounouchi HIromi were to get injured again, he would probably have to commit seppuku in apology, despite being a dead man who no longer had a stomach to cut.

However, Jounouchi Hiromi didn't seem too concerned about the situation. Raising her hand to signal Maeda Toshiie not to worry, she said, "It's just a Sub-Legendary who has gone mad with power. Even if he breaks through, with Xiao Lan and Mr. Shadow Guard here, he can't cause much trouble. Let me deal with him; I want to see how much I've improved recently. Opportunities to fight a Sub-Legendary all out are rare!"

Hearing Jounouchi Hiromi say this, Maeda Toshiie had no choice but to step aside, letting Jounouchi Hiromi face Old Man Tashiro herself, while he stood by, vigilant and ready to intervene at any moment.

Facing Jounouchi Hiromi, Old Man Tashiro's anger had transformed into visible flames, intensifying his aura and making him look more ferocious and terrifying.

"Doctor Jounouchi, I just made an emergency call, and the ambulance will arrive within ten minutes. There might be trouble if regular people see this," Kyuuzai Ryousen, seeing Jounouchi Hiromi ready to act, couldn't help but remind her to be mindful of the time.

"I know," Jounouchi Hiromi replied, and turning to Xiao Lan perched on her shoulder armor, she said, "Xiao Lan, we need a quick resolution."

After speaking, a crimson lance appeared in her hand, thrusting towards Old Man Tashiro.

When the ambulance arrived at the Tashiro family mansion with its sirens wailing, the doctors and paramedics who came in the ambulance were stunned. Although they were accustomed to various accident scenes year-round, it was rare to see a scene that looked as if a typhoon had just passed through or as if Godzilla had rolled over it.

"Hurry! The injured are waiting for our help!" The doctor urged the medical staff as the great house before them lay completely in ruins, with building debris scattered everywhere. One could only imagine the severity of the injuries to anyone trapped inside.

However, when the doctor rushed into the wreckage of the Tashiro family mansion, he saw a woman lying flat at the entrance.

"Miss, are you alright? Can you hear me?" The doctor hurried over to the woman and called out to her.

"Please get me to the hospital quickly, my internal organs have suffered an impact, I have fractured ribs, and there may be internal bleeding." Qingdai, relieved to see the emergency doctor arrive, said, "I am a surgeon myself and understand my condition. Please hurry to the hospital, I need urgent surgery, thank you."

"I've got it!" Upon hearing Qingdai's words, the emergency doctor quickly began examining her, while also shouting to the medical staff carrying the stretcher, "Stretcher! Hurry up!"

...

Outside the Tashiro family mansion, Jounouchi Hiromi watched as the doctor and medical staff loaded Qingdai onto the ambulance, then she closed the car window and said to Kyuuzai Ryousen in the driver's seat, "Now that Doctor Qingdai is on the ambulance, I will head back first. You've had a tough night, Ryosen-kun."

"Not at all, serving Doctor Jounouchi is my honor," Kyuuzai Ryousen said humbly. He certainly didn't dare take credit for Jounouchi Hiromi's gratitude, especially as he hadn't really done anything that evening.

"Anyway, you worked hard, go and get some good rest. I'm leaving now," Jounouchi Hiromi said with a smile, becoming a blur and then disappearing inside the car.

Watching Jounouchi Hiromi vanish, Kyuuzai Ryousen felt a twinge of envy for such a convenient ability and started the car, driving towards the headquarters of the Mingyue Society.

Back in the Necromantic Space, Jounouchi Hiromi arrived at the seal room in Chen Yu's Mage Tower. There, Maeda Toshiie was already holding the old man Tashiro, whom Jounouchi Hiromi had torn an arm off, slashed off a leg, pierced through the stomach, blinded in one eye, and left completely ragged like a doll mauled by vicious dogs. Beside them, awaited Ninja Hanzo, who had also been stabbed and lost the ability to resist.

"Back already? Did you have fun?" Chen Yu asked with a smile upon seeing Jounouchi Hiromi appear.

"Hmph, I wasn't out to have fun!" Jounouchi Hiromi replied to Chen Yu with a huff, then turned to look at the completely defenseless old man Tashiro and Ninja Hanzo, "A momentary lapse and the valuable material is all tattered now, what a pity."

Hearing Jounouchi Hiromi refer to old man Tashiro as material, Chen Yu couldn't hide his surprise, "This doesn't seem like you, Hiromi! Treating a person as material..."

"That's because he's no longer a person, is he?" Jounouchi Hiromi interrupted Chen Yu before he could finish, retorting, "This gentlemen here can no longer be called human."

"Is that so? It doesn't matter, as long as you are happy, Hiromi. For such an inhuman creature, even turning him into a Soul-Imprisoning Corpse is letting him off easy," Chen Yu replied indifferently, shrugging his shoulders. He might not know what exactly old man Tashiro had done, but the man's appearance, completely eroded by malevolence, was telling enough of the atrocious deeds that had earned him such enmity.
