After the initial test, it only took a few tens of seconds for Ryougi Shiki to find Araya Soren's weakness and break all the triple barriers that almost humiliated her.
From throwing the dagger to catching it, it took only a second. A second later, Ryougi Shiki once again held the dagger horizontally and attacked in front of Araya Sōren.
Without hesitation, he raised his sword and slashed at the arm, then the abdomen and heart. There was no mercy in Ryougi Shiki's eyes, and he used the most ferocious killing skill to chop at Araya Soren.
Every time he chopped in, he could feel a real blockage. The movements were smooth and flowing, and in the blink of an eye, several bloody holes appeared on Huangye Zonglian's body.
This is not over yet. Ryougi Shiki pulled out the dagger again and made a gorgeous spin. The muscle strength of her waist, legs and arms resonated at this moment. All the strength of her body was poured into the dagger, and it pierced into Araya Soren's neck artery.
Afraid that the other party was not dead yet, Ryougi Shiki stirred it with her hands.
She still couldn't detect the fatal line that crisscrossed Araya Soren's body, but hitting it wasn't necessary to kill someone. A human being struck by such a brutal blade would have bled to death. Furthermore, Ryougi Shiki targeted the most lethal part of the human body.
So... it's time to die.
The silver-white blade was still inserted into Araya Soren's neck, but the expected gushing of blood did not occur. Araya Soren's body simply swayed, and he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
That's all.
Under Ryougi Shiki's panicked gaze, Araya Soren spoke coldly, "How inconsiderate... Shiki, my origin is 'Stillness'. In a sense, I am the type that is most resistant to the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. If this is all I can do, I'd better get lost in the underworld."
"Why..." Ryougi Shiki's pupils trembled violently. This unnatural scene left her deeply confused.
I have never encountered such an enemy.
She was clearly still human, Ryougi Shiki was certain of that. But if she was human, how could she act like nothing had happened despite being so severely injured?
The line of death is almost non-existent, and he is immune to human fatal injuries. Judging from the abilities he has displayed, there may be a barrier within his body that can block the prying eyes of the devil, as well as a barrier that can prevent death...
'How could such a ridiculous thing happen?'
Ryougi Shiki wanted to react and create some distance, but she had already lost the chance.
The serious wounds not only failed to suppress Araya Soren's physical strength, but made his movements even faster.
Without any movement to gather strength, the thigh under the black robe suddenly exerted force, and a whip kick was launched at the abdomen of Ryougi Shiki at a speed that defied physics.
A sound of air being cut was heard, and Ryougi Shiki almost subconsciously used a force-dissipating posture to try to relieve the force, but was still knocked away by Araya Soren's whip kick.
The thin body under the white kimono flew directly out of the railing of Ogawa Apartment, exposed to the graceful moonlight and the silent sky. Liangyi, with a pale face, suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
The breeze was blowing gently, the white clothes were rustling, and Ryougi Shiki suffered an unprecedented blow.
Gravity pulled her headfirst, about to plummet from the fourth floor. At that moment, the walls of Ogawa's apartment seemed to come alive, blood-red ripples spreading across their surface. Flesh tentacles shot out from within, firmly latching onto Ryougi Shiki's limbs and preventing her from plummeting to her death.
The tentacles quickly exerted force, reeling Ryougi Shiki back from the sky, pressing her body tightly against the wall. Then, as if sinking to the bottom of a lake, Ryougi Shiki's body began to slowly descend until her entire body was completely submerged in Ogawa's apartment, leaving no trace.
"cough--"
After doing all this, Araya Zonglian suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, raised his hand and supported himself weakly on the wall.
Capturing Ryougi Shiki wasn't as easy as it looked. Although his origins were forbidden, and compared to a human's fatal wounds, he was indeed a monster. But the wounds were real, and he was seriously injured.
Plus, that group of public security police...
"It should have been resolved by now."
He had transformed Ogawa Apartment into a barrier, merging it with the surroundings. Within this barrier, Araya Soren was able to leap and compress space. He had constructed a pseudo-infinite space, and just now, he had dragged Ryougi Shiki into it and imprisoned her.
He wants to use Ryougi Shiki's body to reach the source.
Araya Zonglian waved his hand, and the wall began to ripple again, revealing another space.
A total of thirty police officers entered Ogawa's apartment, twenty-eight of whom were killed by the "puppets" he created. And the remaining two...
"Hmm? Not dead yet?"
He leaned against the shore with Hayakawa Aki, struggling to hold on.
The cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth on the shore had already reached the end, and he didn't even react when the ash fell on his leather shoes.
The necrotic skin on his face remained unchanged, but his hollow eyes stared at the man in black before him: "It's amazing! Even this can't kill you?"
The puppets Araya Soren had crafted from himself were now riddled with holes, yet they remained standing. Perhaps it was the puppets themselves that completely ignored the small-caliber firearms brought tonight by the public security forces. Instead, it was the short swords on the shore and the long swords of Hayakawa Aki that inflicted considerable damage on the puppets.
The puppets have already dealt with twenty-eight people, and the puppets on the four floors have surrounded the two people tightly.
The dead end has arrived.
"Minister Kishibe, I'm afraid we will die here today." There was not much fear of death on Hayakawa Aki's face.
"Ah... maybe. I didn't expect that I would end my life like this."
But at this moment, the puppets stopped their attack. The leading Araya puppet raised his head like a marionette and asked in a cold voice:
"Anti-Demon Police..."
"Why did you come to Ogawa Apartment tonight?"
"Oh? You're finally willing to communicate? Let me guess, you're not a living person, are you? More like a puppet? Puppets created by superpowers have truly terrifying abilities. Each puppet is immune to most damage from thermal weapons."
"answer me."
"Ah, that's why you're here."
The man on the shore woke up as if from a dream, took out the cigarette butt from his mouth and threw it on the ground.
Scratching his head, he answered the puppet Araya's question quite seriously: "Of course, it's to investigate Kira, but we found a criminal who is more dangerous than Kira... If we don't eliminate you and your creator here, the whole of Tokyo will fall into chaos."
"Kira..."
Hiding behind the scenes, Araya nodded. It was a familiar name. He had originally planned to find and eliminate Kira after obtaining Ryougi Shiki's power. He hadn't expected Kira to get there first, leading the Taima Public Security Bureau to cause trouble...
In a sense, this is an even tougher opponent than Ryougi Shiki.
"My name is Araya Soren, and I have existed in this world for two hundred years. I had no intention of destroying Tokyo."
He spoke frankly. Perhaps he and Kira were the same kind of people, both deeply disgusted by this terrible world. But unlike Kira, he didn't believe humanity should be saved. Humanity should be brought to an end.
He was born into a family that believed in Tendai Buddhism during the war in Japan. During his time as a Taimitsu monk, he tried countless times to save people who were about to die for various reasons but failed. He realized that he could never save everyone, and from that moment on, he ceased to be human.
He has almost abandoned his physical body and wanders the world as a spiritual practitioner.
Having lived for over 200 years, he had become the "embodiment of hell," a mere theoretical manifestation of a phenomenon. Therefore, the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception were so difficult to detect.
To him, destroying humanity is saving humanity. To return all human souls to their origins is salvation...
"But if you were to bring the news out alive, it would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble."
"So, die here."
Volume 1: 107 Eh? Am I in a dead zone?
"My original goal was just to arrest Kira. As long as you didn't harm the police, I would have turned a blind eye to you... But since you've done this, it's better to get rid of a criminal like you who has been hiding in the dark and committing dozens of murders."
"You have no intention of destroying Tokyo, yet you're constantly causing massacres... Go explain this nonsense to the Buddha."
"Araya Soren, it seems you have misunderstood. Let me make it clear first. Our positions and identities are not what you imagined. To me, you are the one waiting to die."
As he spoke on the shore, he took off his black coat.
There were things he didn't say explicitly. As a demon hunter with three demons under contract, he should be considered the strongest in human terms. He had very little tissue left that could be used for sacrifice, such as skin, nails, and facial nerves... The loss of these things had elevated his physical skills to an incredible level.
Of course, it is the human realm.
In terms of physical skills alone, Kishibe was superior to Ryougi Shiki. However, his movements weren't fast enough to withstand the Mystic Eyes' Death Perception, let alone Makima, who was even better.
But even so, it was more than enough to deal with the puppet in front of him.
Generally speaking, is there a case where the real person is stronger than the puppet? No.
Was Araya Soren only sending his puppets to fight because his true form couldn't spare any? Anbian's assumption was that the enemy's true form simply couldn't handle such a high-intensity battle.
Therefore, the puppet in front of me will only be the final opponent.
He seemed to be in a desperate situation, but in fact he had only used up fifth level of his combat power. His weakness just now was just to lure out more information from Araya Zonglian.
"The real battle has just begun..."
"Hayakawa, watch this, this is what a real battle is like."
Anbian coldly stroked the cold blade with his fingers, and the next moment his figure flashed and appeared beside the Araya doll.
"Buju, Vajra, Shexie, Dai Tian, Ding Jing, Wang Xian..." The Araya puppet also raised his hand to respond.
Anbian had his confidence, and Araya also had his own rules. He only used half of his strength, and the Araya puppet hadn't even released the barrier...
……
……
After age 25, an adult's physical function and recovery abilities reach their peak. After that, no matter how rigorous a diet or disciplined exercise regimen, physical fitness begins to decline uncontrollably, with only a slight improvement in "experience." And after age 30, all functions plummet. Humans are truly fragile creatures...
I thought so while lying on the shore.
Most of the clothing on the upper and lower body had been torn apart in the battle, with pieces missing here and there, revealing the horrific wounds beneath the combat uniform. As for why the body was divided into upper and lower parts...
It has been cut off.
Araya Soren, under the sixth layer of barrier, possessed some kind of mysterious slashing ability. Although Anbian tried his best to dodge and dealt fatal blows to the Araya doll several times, he was unfortunately hit by the most powerful blow.
The puppet can make countless mistakes, but Anbian can only make one mistake. Perhaps this was an unfair duel from the beginning.
Anbian looked very reluctantly at the Araya doll not far outside the corridor.
The Araya doll hung its head and seemed to have lost all ability to move. Although beings like dolls did not deserve life, losing the ability to move was the same as being killed.
The most powerful enemy had already been dealt with by him, one life for another. As for the rest, with Hayakawa Aki's ability, he should be able to deal with them easily...
The man on the shore was in a trance, his eyes were blurred, and he seemed to be in his last moments.
"Really... I was only trying to catch Kira, but I lost my life for such a dangerous criminal. What on earth am I pursuing..."
"In the end, I died indirectly at Kira's hands. It's such a shame that I still couldn't know Kira's true identity until the end of my life."
But Kishibe had a vague feeling that the battle at Ogawa Apartment was over. Besides the remnants of Makima's army, no third party would enter.
If someone else entered Ogawa's apartment, no matter what the reason or how it was explained, that person would definitely be Kira. This was the only thing Kishibe was absolutely certain of...
Sadly, he probably wouldn't live long enough for a third party to enter the scene.
As he lay dying, he heard movement ahead. With all his strength exhausted, Anbian looked back at the fallen puppet, only to see a heartbreaking sight.
A brand new Araya Soren walked out from the wall, casually raised his hand, and threw the Araya doll into the wall as if throwing away garbage.
His aura was terrifying, and just one glance made those on the shore understand the real gap.
"Is this monster really human?"
"Judging from its momentum alone, it would probably take all the Demon Hunters in Tokyo, excluding Makima, to capture it."
"It turns out that the one I was fighting was a puppet named Araya Soren, and the monster in front of me is his true form... He wasn't using his full strength."
"Araya Soren is too strong... I feel sorry for not being able to use his full strength in the battle."
"But there's nothing we can do."
I collapsed on the shore, unable to say anything, unable to do anything. I could only feel my eyelids growing heavier, quietly feeling the passage of life...
After adjusting himself temporarily, Hayakawa Aki dragged his heavy body to stand up, leaning on his sword. He slowly exhaled the foul air in his chest, and stared at the newly appeared enemy in front of him.
I felt a little regretful that I should have brought the notes Kira had given me, but before setting off, I was worried that the secrecy and strictness of the operation would lead to the notes being exposed, so I didn't bring them with me.
Who could have imagined that such a dangerous thing would happen.
"If I use that notebook, I can easily kill him..."
"No, that's not right. Araya Soren is probably not the real name of this two-hundred-year-old monster. His real name has long been lost to the tide of history... The two necessary conditions cannot be met simultaneously, and even Kira is powerless."
Looking at the enemy slowly walking towards him, Hayakawa Aki took a deep breath and tried his best to adjust his body condition in this last moment.
He had to live, no matter what... He had to purge the darkness from this world and witness with his own eyes the existence of Kira.
Araya Soren, who was moving forward, paused, frowned slightly, and glanced down. It seemed that another uninvited guest had broken into Ogawa's apartment. Judging from the aura he felt... it was an ordinary person.
How unfortunate.
Since it was just an ordinary person who broke into his territory, he would just deal with it.
Killing is to save people~ to escape from this sea of suffering.
……
……
The rain was pouring down, and the darkness and dark clouds completely blocked out the moonlight. The land of Chiba was covered in darkness, like a dark cloud hanging over everyone's heart. No one would notice what kind of darkness was unfolding in Ogawa Apartment that night.
