Global Disaster: I Will Slay Gods In This Second Chance!-Chapter 89: Battle Royale
A while ago.
Yurei silently appeared inside the museum.
She stood alone, a pale white mask covering her face. Despite most of her appearance being hidden, an air of indifference swirled around her as she confronted the entire 3rd Demon Hunter Squad by herself.
Koizume glanced at her quietly, frowning deeply.
Yurei of the Ghost Masks, with the rating of an A-class rogue awakener.
Her talent was speculated to be related to concealing her presence, allowing her to appear everywhere without anyone noticing. Her first appearance was at the same time the Ghost Masks had their first operation.
Despite her lack of presence, most of the Ghost Masks’ success could be attributed to her strategies, hence raising her threat rating to A-class.
In the Ghost Masks’ previous cases, she didn’t show any feats of strength, often acting behind the scenes.
’... So why?’
Koizume scanned the entire museum, but saw no one accompanying Yurei.
Surely, Yurei didn’t think she could take all of them by herself?
As if answering her, Yurei vanished.
Schck!
Koizume’s eyes immediately widened in disbelief.
"Mikata!!"
One of the 3rd Demon Hunter Squad’s members, Mikata, slowly lowered her gaze.
Her eyebrows fluttered, lips trembling soundlessly.
Yurei’s hand pierced through her stomach, killing her casually.
"Four more."
As if she had done something so small, she retracted her hand and swept her gaze around the room.
Woosh!
Koizume raised her hands, controlling the wind.
Yurei felt her mask crack, sharp wind suddenly tearing apart her flesh and clothes.
Woosh!
But at that moment, she vanished once more.
Koizume’s expression changed, her gaze shifting to one of the members.
"Be careful!"
She shouted urgently.
But it was too late.
One of the 3rd Demon Hunter Squad’s members, Sarada, blinked and looked down.
But from behind him, Yurei’s ghostly mask appeared silently.
Woosh
Blood cleanly erupted from his neck.
With one clean slice, Yurei swiftly cut Sarada’s head, killing him instantly.
She swept her gaze to the rest of the room.
"Three."
"...!"
Koizume’s eyes turned bloodshot.
Everything happened in merely a few seconds, leaving them no time to react.
Yurei was so fast. Faster than she could contend.
She shouted.
"Retreat!"
Hearing that, the other members quickly fell back, their expressions fearful.
But Yurei wasn’t going to just let them be.
Woosh!
Bam!
Koizume clenched her hands, causing the air around the room to shake and distort.
Hurricanes from both sides appeared, a swarm of wind slashes forming together.
Her talent was called [Hurricane], estimated to be A-rank. She could control winds as if they were her limbs, summon hurricanes with a thought. She could use them for movement, to attack, or even for support.
Feeling the wind rage on, Yurei knew that she couldn’t afford to underestimate Koizume in the slightest.
She quickly dashed, her figure appearing like a blur.
After a moment, she appeared in front of Koizume and attacked.
But Koizume, seemingly expecting it, slammed her hand from the right.
Woosh!
Yurei was swept against the tide of the wind, blood erupting from her body.
But they immediately regenerated as soon as they appeared.
’Incredible speed, high regeneration, terrifying strength...’
Koizume’s heart stirred, forming a terrifying guess. But she didn’t stop attacking; she let out a flurry of wind strikes, following Yurei wherever she went.
Unable to get close, Yurei stepped on debris and leapt away, landing on the upper floor.
However, at that moment, she felt her hair stand on end.
A tall shadow appeared on her back.
Woosh!
She stepped aside, but a powerful force still hit her stomach, causing her to be blown towards the wall.
Crack...!
Her body was caved in the wall, unable to dodge or defend against the other person.
Yurei’s eyes widened in disbelief, raising her gaze.
𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
In front of him, a foreign man with a pair of empty eyes had silently appeared.
He held a revolver in his hand and pointed it at her.
"...!"
Even though she was confident in her physical abilities, she felt that the moment the gun was fired... she would die.
This wasn’t a guess, but the truth.
Her instincts screamed at her to run against this man.
But Namita wasn’t one to hesitate.
Yurei wanted to move, but at that moment, she felt her hand get stepped on by the foreign man.
"Ah!"
She shouted in pain, startled.
Namita expressionlessly stared at her before pressing the trigger.
Bang!
The sound of flesh being ripped apart resounded.
With Namita’s [Master of Armanents], any object in his arms turned into a forged item, almost like a demon armament.
The revolver was no different, nicknamed Flesh Ripper. The bullets loaded into it could pierce through even a Tier 1 Demon’s flesh, stop their regeneration, and slowly bleed them out as time passed.
Smoke erupted from the hole of the revolver, drifting quietly.
Namita pressed the trigger again.
One was not enough.
Bang!
Neither was two.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Under the barrage of attacks, Yurei’s body exploded, turning into a grotesque mess.
"... You..."
Despite that, Yurei was still able to turn her head, revealing her face as her mask was destroyed by the Flesh Ripper’s bullets.
She was naturally beautiful, with pale white skin and pink lips.
But something was very wrong with her appearance.
She didn’t have just two eyes.
She had six black eyes, looking at him hatefully.
Namita’s eyes widened slightly.
From her back, six large spider legs sprouted, showing her true form.
’... A spider?’
Namita stared at her, but then he realized another terrifying thing.
Yurei’s wounds regenerated at breakneck speed!
In a few seconds, most of her wounds were already gone.
Namita’s expression changed.
Just as he was about to press the trigger again, a chilling sensation erupted in him.
Knowing his [Danger Sense] had activated, he didn’t hesitate to move away.
Woosh!
But when he felt his vision suddenly slip away, he knew that it was already too late.
He was caught!
A sharp bronze claw suddenly grabbed his neck, dragging him along the walls.
The claw seemed to possess a special power, causing his neck to turn purple.
The moment the claw touched his neck, his vision quietly slipped away, and he lost control of his spiritual energy and body.
From below, Koizume’s eyes fell on the new person.
"Shinigami!"
Dragging Namita’s body along the walls like a ragdoll was a modestly built man wearing a reaper’s mask.
Shinigami didn’t seem to hear her shout, raising Namita high above.
His right hand was equipped with a strange silver claw, releasing a purple energy.
The purple energy entered Namita’s body through the holes in his face.
Namita’s eyes turned drowsy, and his face turned deathly pale.
Bam!
Before he lost consciousness, Shinigami released his hold, causing Namita to fall on the lower floor, destroying one of the museum’s relics.
He stared at Namita, who seemed to be fully incapacitated.
Namita choked subconsciously and stared at Shinigami in disbelief.
The man was faster than his [Danger Sense] and didn’t even appear in his [Three Dimensional Awareness].
With his current strength, there were very few who could match him in terms of physical abilities alone.
But this man...
Shinigami completely overwhelmed him!
Namita struggled to move, but he was completely paralyzed.
His gaze turned to the silver claw on Shinigami’s right hand, instantly realizing its true nature.
It was that claw!
To be able to incapacitate him in one strike, that claw could only be a demonic armament!
"It’s much more effective than I thought."
Shinigami said casually, glancing at the claw on his hand.
Demonic Armament Abyssal Claw, possessed by the Demonic Spirit of Paralysis. It could release a purple energy that could cause paralysis to whoever it came in contact with. Its paralysis heavily depended on the user’s strength.
Slice!
Shinigami cleanly dragged the claw on the walls, instantly making a deep mark on them.
He jumped to the lower floor and landed beside Namita.
Yurei had also regenerated completely, looking at Namita with slight wariness.
But knowing Shinigamit had handled him, she shifted her attention to Koizume.
From her back, the six spider legs pushed her into the air, making her land on the ground silently.
Her spider limbs were crimson red, extremely durable, and sharp.
Her talent was called [Red Spider Nightmare], an A-rank shapeshifting talent.
A Red Spider Nightmare was a creature of darkness, possessing incredible speed and lethality.
Woosh!
During the transformation, all of her physical aspects were raised to a terrifying level.
Koizume, who was distracted by Shinigami’s sudden appearance, didn’t seem to notice a shadow suddenly appear from her back.
Yurei raised her hand...
"Got you."
But before she could attack, Koizume suddenly turned around and swiped both of her hands!
Six massive wind slashes shot at Yurei, the latter’s senses overloaded by warnings.
Unfortunately, the wind was too fast, and she could barely dodge.
Yurei hugged her body, causing the six spider legs sprouting from her body to enlarge, shielding her.
Woosh! Woosh!
She was blown away to the wall, the sharp wind slashes making a mark on her body.
Koizume didn’t stop attacking, releasing a barrage of wind slashes that cut through Yurei’s defenses like butter.
She also kept an eye on her back, but then her eyes widened!
At that moment, the sound of glass shattering echoed!
"No..."
Koizume saw that Shinigami had already silently appeared near her, breaking the glass case and reaching out to the relic they were protecting. Unfortunately, this moment of distraction was enough for Yurei to recover, immediately releasing her defense.
Yurei felt a storm of wind slashes cut her entire body down!
Her two arms were sliced apart, and one of her legs was cleanly cut.
Countless sharp wounds, small and large, erupted from all over her body, putting her in a sorry state.
But she shielded her vitals, ensuring that no wind slashes could severely incapacitate her.
The six spider legs from her back supported her.
Woosh!
Not wasting the opportunity presented to her, Yurei appeared behind Koizume once more. One of her spider legs immediately shot through Koizume’s head.
Koizume reacted immediately, her pupils dilating. She used the wind against herself to move her body out of the way, barely avoiding the attack.
But instead of her head, it was her shoulders pierced through by Yurei.
"Ahh!"
She screamed in pain.
Yurei retracted her hand and immediately pushed Koizume to the ground, using her six spider limbs to pierce through all of Koizume’s limbs, causing her to scream painfully as she was stuck on the ground.
On the other side, Shinigami suddenly shifted his gaze, his hand freezing.
He looked at Namita, whose breathing suddenly stopped.
His eyes narrowed, and he couldn’t help but feel bewildered.
’He’s dead?’
He thought, but after a brief moment of thinking, he didn’t find it strange.
He was planning to leave the man alive to take away, but since he died immediately, then it was destiny.
Shinigami quickly removed the man from his mind, focusing on the national relic in front of him.
He reached out and grabbed hold of it.
Otsuma-Shiyezo-Io, secured!
