Japanese Terrorist: What? I'll fight Hellstar!

In an instant, the fist tore through the air, producing a muffled, thunderous explosion!

Tomie's arm was like a cannon shot, its power fierce and unmatched. A simple uppercut slammed into the slit-mouthed woman's chin!

Wherever the fist passed, even the air seemed to be compressed into visible shockwaves!

No matter who it is, anyone who takes this heavy blow will not escape certain death.

However, the Slit-Mouthed Woman is not human!

The Slit-Mouthed Woman's scissors are a fraction faster than Tomie's fist!

Just before Tomie's fist was about to touch the slit-mouthed woman's chin—

"Pfft!"

The muffled thud of a blade cutting into flesh and the sharp whistling of a razor slicing through the air tore apart the explosive force of the punch.

The open blades of the scissors, like two high-speed guillotines clashing, bit into Tomie's body and then swiftly sliced ​​into her chest.

The immense force caused the blade to penetrate deep into her body instantly, almost cutting Tomie in two!

"Well--!"

Tomie's whole body trembled violently, and her fist, which was full of power, came to an abrupt halt in mid-air.

The excruciating pain, like a burst of electric current, exploded through her body in an instant, overwhelming her senses.

The immense kinetic energy from the charge did not diminish in the slightest. The Slit-Mouthed Woman's entire body, like an out-of-control heavy truck, hurtled forward, its scissor blades deeply embedded in Tomie!

Like a roadblock being knocked away by a speeding truck, Tomie's body was uncontrollably pushed off the ground by the enormous force, and she flew backward.

In an instant, Tomie's body was like a kite with a broken string, or a rag doll nailed to the blade of scissors, being pushed by the Slit-Mouthed Woman and rushing wildly forward along the corridor!

"Clang! Crack! Boom!"

Fire extinguisher boxes along the way were dented and blown apart, fire extinguisher glass covers on the walls were shattered, and bulletin boards hanging on the walls were torn apart, with debris, glass, and paper flying everywhere.

The two transformed into a destructive hurricane, carving a trail of carnage through the corridor.

The distance of several tens of meters was covered in an instant during this terrifying sprint.

"boom!!!"

Finally, with a loud bang, the Slit-Mouthed Woman, carrying Tomie, crashed heavily into the end of the corridor.

The wall shook violently, and dust fell in a flurry.

Tomie's body was pinned between the wall and the slit-mouthed woman; the scissors pierced through her body and embedded themselves in the wall.

Blood gushed from the huge wound and her seven orifices, flowing down the blade and Tomie's body, staining the walls and the ground beneath her feet red.

As the storm swept by, Amamiya Rin grabbed the still-unresponsive Yusuke and narrowly hid above the stairs, avoiding the bulldozing onslaught.

Seeing Tomie pinned to the wall like a rag doll, Amamiya Rin's heart tightened, but he didn't stop what he was doing.

Despite the shock, the work that needed to be done couldn't be delayed.

He knelt on the ground, his cane leaning against one side, and deftly pulled back the bolt. Hot cartridge cases clattered to the ground. He took a new bullet from the pouch at his waist, loaded it into the chamber, closed the bolt, and chambered the gun.

The entire sequence of movements was completed smoothly in the dim light, taking less than three seconds.

However, it was still too slow.

The modified electromagnetic rifle was too crude; it would make a sound with the slightest movement. Almost before Amamiya Rin even loaded the bullets, the Slit-Mouthed Woman had already discovered Amamiya Rin as her enemy.

Her face instantly became more ferocious than a demon's. With a sudden burst of strength, she pulled the scissors from the wall and Tomie's body, drawing a large spray of blood. She turned around and was about to rush over and cut the man's head and the damned gun in his hand to pieces!

However, just as the Slit-Mouthed Woman turned around, two blood-stained hands suddenly reached out from below and grabbed her arms tightly!

It's Tomie!

Her upper body was almost cut open by scissors, and blood was still gushing from the huge wound. Her face was pale from blood loss, but the eyes that were exposed through the eye holes of the mask were terrifyingly bright. There was no fear, only a savage obsession and mockery.

"Trying to run...? Ugly freak... your opponent... is me!"

Tomie's voice was broken and weak due to her injuries, but she somehow managed to grip the slit-mouthed woman's arm tightly, preventing her from leaving.

However, because her injuries were too severe to heal immediately, and her strength was not as good as when she was in full strength, she was unable to restrain the Slit-Mouthed Woman, but only slowed down the Slit-Mouthed Woman's movements by half a beat!

In that split second, Amamiya Rin had already aimed at the Slit-Mouthed Woman's head and pulled the trigger.

"Bang--!!!"

Above the stairs, accompanied by a brief hum of electricity, a flash of light appeared again, and deafening gunshots rang out almost simultaneously!

The slit-mouthed woman's pupils contracted, her body leaned back, and she kicked Tomie. With superhuman speed and reflexes, she managed to create distance at the last second.

The scorching metal bullet tore through the air, grazing her left scalp!

"Sizzle—!!!"

A sound like a grinding wheel polishing hard bone rang out, and the bullet, with its enormous kinetic energy and rotation, scraped fiercely across the slit-mouthed woman's scalp like a red-hot branding iron.

In an instant, the scalp of the woman with the slit mouth, along with the temporalis muscle beneath it, was instantly sliced ​​open by the terrifying friction of the bullet, revealing a charred, rolled-up wound on her forehead.

"Creak—"

The piercing friction sound seemed to resound directly inside the Slit-Mouthed Woman's skull.

The outer periosteum was ruthlessly torn, and the hard surface of the skull below was scraped with rough abrasion marks.

Although it didn't completely penetrate, the excruciating pain transmitted directly to the nerve endings was like a red-hot iron rod being plunged into the temple and then violently stirred!

"Ughh ...

The Slit-Mouthed Woman let out a shrill, distorted scream; her face twisted violently, becoming so terrifying that she was no longer recognizable as human.

Excruciating pain!

An unimaginable pain exploded from her head, instantly overwhelming her senses. The slit-mouthed woman felt a sudden darkness before her eyes, and countless golden sparks burst forth in her vision.

Even a mere graze from a close-range bullet wound inflicted severe damage on the Slit-Mouthed Woman, causing her to briefly lose her balance and become dizzy.

She stumbled, instinctively covering her head wound with her left hand, and swayed.

But those bloodshot eyes were once again fixed on Amamiya Rin.

Having missed his temple, Amamiya Rin was about to reload when he felt intense malice and a strong sense of crisis emanating from the Slit-Mouthed Woman's gaze.

No! There's no time to fire!

Amamiya Rin realized this immediately.

The slit-mouthed woman clutched her blood-soaked head; the excruciating pain blurred her vision, but the venom in her eyes seemed to burn through the air.

"I...will...kill...you...absolutely..."

She stared intently at Amamiya Rin above the stairs, making strange, hoarse noises.

Before she finished speaking, she moved!

The Slit-Mouthed Woman's movements were not as fast as before. Her head injury clearly affected her balance and speed, and her charging motion was noticeably unsteady, like a dizzy wild beast, swaying from side to side.

However, her speed was still frighteningly fast.

Because it's only a few steps from the corridor at the bottom of the stairs to the top of the stairs!
