Tokyo Ghoul: Starting with the Twin Kamui

"he......"

Arai was about to describe the "One-Eyed King's" bizarre abilities when one of his subordinates suddenly burst in.

"My lord! Something terrible has happened! The second line of defense has been breached, and the 'Bronze Tree' is attacking us!"

"Never mind all that, let's prepare for battle!"

Takeshi Ishikari immediately stood up, his face stern.

Although there was an escape route from the base, he, as the "King of the Labyrinth," still had his dignity and would rather die in battle than hide and live a wretched life.

Subsequently, Takeshi Ishikari led the ghouls of "Labyrinth" to confront "Aogiri Tree" outside the base.

He spotted the "One-Eyed Owl" at first glance.

Because Yoshimura Eto never reverted to his Kakuja form.

Takeshi Ishikari frowned slightly, not expecting the "One-Eyed Owl" to have grown to such a size.

Beside the "One-Eyed Owl," he also saw a one-eyed ghoul wearing a red tiger-skin mask. This guy must be the true king of "Aogiri Tree," the One-Eyed King!

At this moment, Yoshimura Eto didn't intend to say any nonsense and immediately attacked Ishikari Takeji.

Ishikari Takeji's pupils contracted, and he immediately transformed into a ghoul.

A humanoid ghoul, roughly the same size as "One-Eyed Owl," suddenly appeared. Its entire body was covered in dark red kagune, and several faces with expressions of pain appeared on various parts of its body, seemingly from the ghouls it had previously devoured through "communal eating."

Then, Yoshimura Eto and Ishikari Takeji engaged in hand-to-hand combat almost entirely with their ghoul bodies.

It's purely a contest of who has the stronger attack power and regeneration ability.

The remaining ghouls on both sides did not make any rash moves, and Uchiha Byakuya was in no hurry to attack.

Arai, as the second Kakuja of the "Labyrinth" organization, outwardly appears to be wary of the formidable enemy "Aogiri Tree," but in reality...

Just then, taking advantage of the fact that both Yoshimura Eto and Ishikari Takeji had sustained some injuries, Arai suddenly launched a surprise attack.

However, his target was not Yoshimura Eto, who was his enemy, but Ishikari Takeji.

Arai did not transform into a kakuja, but instead used his tail kaku to launch a sneak attack on Ishikari Takeshi from behind.

This kind of sneak attack, where the opponent is completely unprepared, especially since it specifically targets the most vulnerable part of the kagune, is indeed enough to use only the tail kagune. If the attacker were to transform into a kagune user, it would be easier to waste time and cause the sneak attack to fail.

Takeshi Ishikari's attention was completely focused on "One-Eyed Owl," and he had no idea that Arai would launch a sneak attack on him.

Just then, Uchiha Byakuya suddenly appeared out of thin air behind Ishikari Takeji, blocking Arai who was launching a sneak attack.

"what?!"

Upon seeing the "One-Eyed King" suddenly blocking his way, Arai didn't have time to stop, and his tail kagune was about to pierce the "One-Eyed King".

This was not his intention; he had just intended to demonstrate his loyalty to the "Aogiri Tree" by ambushing Ishikari Takeji.

Because he knew that their "maze" was no match for the "one-eyed king," and if he continued to resist foolishly, he would only be waiting to die!

Just as the tail kagune was about to pierce his abdomen, a chain emerged from Uchiha Byakuya's sleeve, and he used the chain to block the tail kagune.

"It's about time to wrap this up..."

As Uchiha Byakuya finished speaking, two spatial vortexes immediately appeared.

Arai's tail kagune root was directly torn off by an invisible force.

Takeshi Ishikari's ghoul shell was torn apart like thin paper!

"Gah!"

Arai cried out in pain, and even part of his kagune was torn off.

After the Kakuja's outer shell was destroyed, Ishikari Takeji turned around abruptly, his face filled with horror.

He had no idea when the "One-Eyed King" appeared behind him, nor what methods the other party used to destroy his ghoul shell.

All he knew was that he was doomed to defeat...

"I lost."

Takeshi Ishikari was quite decisive, ceasing his futile struggles and directly reverting to his Kakuja form.

At the same time, he also realized that Arai seemed to have been about to ambush him, but that didn't matter now.

The ghouls on Aogiri Tree's side were still shocked by what they had just witnessed, even though it wasn't the first time they had seen this ability.

They couldn't help but feel fortunate that they had joined the "Bronze Tree," otherwise, the terrifying existence of the "One-Eyed King" as an enemy would have been far too frightening.

The ghouls of the "Labyrinth" organization were completely dumbfounded.

Arai's sudden attack on the "King of the Labyrinth" had already caught them off guard, but Uchiha Byakuya's astonishing move completely stunned them.

The two strongest ghouls in their "labyrinth" were instantly killed?

What the hell is the point of playing this?

There's no fun left to play!

Chapter 96 Taking Control of District 24

[Ding! The host has defeated the SSS-rank ghoul "King of the Labyrinth" and has received a reward of 200 attribute points!]

Takeshi Ishikari immediately conceded defeat, and Byakuya Uchiha naturally gained attribute points as well.

It seems that Takeshi Ishikari conceded defeat a little too early. With his regenerative abilities, his Kakuja form can quickly return to normal.

But in reality, during the brief regeneration period, Uchiha Byakuya and Yoshimura Eto could kill him countless times.

So when he realized that he was not gaining the upper hand against the "One-Eyed Owl," and that there was an even more unpredictable "One-Eyed King," he knew that he had no chance at all.

"No, no, I meant I was trying to pledge allegiance to the 'Bronze Tree'!"

At this moment, Arai, fearing that the "One-Eyed King" might misunderstand because he had just unintentionally attacked him, quickly began to explain.

Although he was somewhat worried, he felt that the problem shouldn't be too serious.

Because he knew about Aogiri Tree's previous actions in Cookria, and how they took away all the ghouls they could after conquering Cookria.

They did the same thing in the 24th ward: they took in the ghouls who were compliant, and killed the ones who were not.

Furthermore, considering that he himself is a powerful ghoul, the "Aogiri Tree" should take him in.

"..."

Seeing Arai's ugly face, Ishikari Takeji couldn't help but feel a little angry, but he didn't say anything.

In the current situation, there's no point in saying anything.

At this moment, Uchiha Byakuya glanced at Arai indifferently and said in a cold tone, "Eto, this guy is yours to handle."

He had no liking for this kind of pure double agent, so he handed him over to Aite to deal with.

"Yes, my king!"

Yoshimura Aite's tone was slightly pleasant.

"Uh......"

Arai was immediately confused.

Couldn't it be resolved with just a word from the "One-Eyed King"?

Why hand it over to that "one-eyed owl"?

At this moment, he was unaware of the seriousness of the situation and was in a state of confusion.

It wasn't until the "One-Eyed Owl" was closing in on him without dispelling its ghoul form that he began to sense something was wrong.

But at that moment, "One-Eyed Owl" suddenly erupted, moving at high speed in front of Arai in an instant, and his ghoul arm swept across.

Although Arai managed to react in time, he couldn't keep up with the speed of his transformation into a ghoul.

In addition, one of his kagune sacs was injured by Uchiha Byakuya, making his kagune transformation even slower.

Arai's kagune had only covered half of his body when it was cut in half at the waist by "One-Eyed Owl," and the kagune sac at his waist was destroyed along with it.

Arai's body suddenly separated from his body; his face contorted in pain, he propped himself up with his hands, staring incredulously at the "One-Eyed Owl" before him. "Why?...?"

"I won't forget the old scores from back then~"

Yoshimura Eto's cheerful tone contained a chilling murderous intent.

"..."

Arai's eyes widened immediately.

He didn't expect the other party to be so vengeful.

He did indeed hunt down Noro and the young "One-Eyed Owl" back then, but he gave up halfway through the chase. How come they remembered it for so many years?!

But in reality, it's not just about holding a grudge.

When Yoshimura Eto heard Uchiha Byakuya's tone just now, she understood what Uchiha Byakuya meant, and also wanted to take revenge.

"No! I..."
