The Strange Cat from Fuuto

"So you're planning to find some cannon fodder to take the fall for you, and then reap the benefits yourself?!" The owner of the footsteps sneered disdainfully. "Igor, don't think we're all fools. Even if the Queen has given the order, it's aimed at you, not at any of us!"

"Fischer, I know you have a problem with me. After all, I outperformed you when we were running for the position of Director of Experimentation, and you have some grievances about it."

Igor's expression suddenly changed as he put his goggles back on his forehead: "But now my position is higher than all of yours, so shouldn't you listen to me?!"

Igor's voice suddenly turned sharp as his gaze swept across the crowd like lightning. Only Fisher, who came later, met his gaze without fear: "Heh, don't forget who was being choked and thrown out like a dead dog last night!"

"Hey!"

Igor sneered and inserted an Eye Soul into the bracelet on his left wrist.

"Shh!"

With a flash of dark purple eye markings in the air, Igor, whose form had drastically changed, transformed into an insect-eyed demon wearing a white wide-brimmed hat and a yellow short coat.

"What, you still want to fight me here?"

Fisher took out a revolver with a weathered look and pulled out an Eye Soul with his other hand.

"Of course I won't fight you, after all, you're a powerful figure in the Legion style, but my goal was actually achieved from the very beginning!"

Igor, whose body had disintegrated into countless bees and insects, sneered: "I never intended for you guys to fight for me in the first place. You were just my bait."

"The target the Queen ordered to be killed has now been located. Good luck to you!"

"what?!"

Fisher and his group's expressions changed drastically, but just then, a violent clap of thunder resounded in the hall.

As soon as the thunder roared, a loud sonic boom mixed with a sharp whooshing sound swept through the entire hall.

"Oh!"

One of the chosen individuals, positioned closest to the door, was instantly smashed into a bloody pulp by the sonic boom, and a figure appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Just as I predicted, after each acceleration, this guy would have a window of opportunity where he would reveal his true form, and that was the chance!"

Igor, who had transformed into numerous insects, had a gleam in his eyes when he saw Mino reveal himself. But his mouth didn't stop either, and he roared, "Whose offspring is this guy? If you want to live, control him before he accelerates again, or you'll all die!"

"But if we kill him, we can return to the world of the Eye Demons and stop wasting time here!"

"You can choose what to do!"

After a furious outburst, Igor rallied the others to charge forward, while he himself quickly retreated.

"Do you really think you've got me cornered?!"

Mino looked around, facing the covetous eyes of the chosen ones in the Eye Demon World, but he was completely unafraid.

"Kill him!"

With a roar from someone, all the chosen ones unleashed their abilities, whether summoning numerous bewitching demons, forming legions of one-man armies, or transforming into bewitching warriors, they all surged towards Mino.

"I was really underestimated!"

Mino lowered her head and chuckled softly, "I don't know why you all underestimate me so much, since I haven't made any progress."

The kitten suddenly raised its head, its eyes flashing with ferocity: "I promised that bastard dad I'd show him what I'm capable of!"

Mino, whose body was surrounded by distorted light, swayed, leaving several afterimages in the air.

Each one is a Minotaur, not only with an extremely solid figure, but even their eyes are lifelike.

"Split Light Avatar... Explode!"

Chapter 48: Cheng-ge: I want them all!

In the empty hall, the dirty floor was covered with messy footprints.

Dozens of clones split off from Mino's body and pounced on the chosen ones of the surrounding Eye Demon world.

"Split Light Avatar... Explode!"

Mino coldly uttered a few words, and the clones that had split off from his body all disintegrated into pure light particles. The light particles suddenly contracted inward and then violently surged outward.

Light spilled out of the hall, making the entire hall seem as if dozens of high-wattage light bulbs were on.

A silent series of explosions engulfed the entire hall, consuming all those chosen; none could escape.

"Splash, splash, splash..."

The dust that rose in the air settled on the ground, completely covering the floor of the hall. The dozen or so chosen ones from the Eye Demon World who were just here were instantly reduced to ashes by the light blast, turning into a pile of dust.

Only Igor, who split his body at the very beginning and transformed into a swarm of insects, escaped unscathed.

Staring incredulously at Mino standing proudly in the arena, Igor screamed nervously, "How could this be? Why has his strength increased so rapidly?"

Mino, her ears twitching, turned her head in response to the sound, her gaze landing on Igor in his swarm form.

"I didn't expect there to be one who slipped through the net here!"

Under Mino's gaze, Igor felt a strange chill run through his nerves.

Although Mino is young, his ferocity and brutality are well-known.

"Run! We have to run!"

Driven by a frenzied inner rage, Igor commanded a swarm of insects to charge towards Mino, while he himself led the remaining half to escape at breakneck speed.

"A futile struggle!"

Mino followed Igor, ignoring the swarm of insects charging towards them.

"Buzzing..."

Amidst the piercing buzzing, the swarm of insects pierced through Mino's body, while Mino followed leisurely behind Igor as if taking a leisurely stroll.

The swarm of insects pierced him back and forth, but it was as if they were attacking a cloud of air, achieving absolutely no success.

"How could this be? Why are our attacks ineffective against him?"

Upon noticing this, Igor screamed in despair and fled as fast as he could.

Inside the one-bedroom apartment, Miku, who witnessed this scene, smiled slightly: "This kid has finally started to use his brain. I didn't expect him to develop his abilities to this extent during this period of time."

Miku saw all of Mino's tactics clearly, even though it was on TV.

Mino used his abilities to condense highly concentrated light-attribute energy into clones, which he then scattered and detonated.

As for Igor's attacks being ineffective against him, it's because what Igor saw from beginning to end was an illusion.

Living things are able to see clearly because of their eyesight, largely due to the reflection and refraction of light on various pigments.

Mino cleverly took advantage of this, eliminating his own form while using light to create an illusion that looked exactly like himself.

The application of this ability is actually quite similar to that of a mirage.

However, Mino is a cunning kid. He creates illusions through a series of operations such as refraction and reflection, which also allows him to freely change his position.

He turned his power, which was clearly full of light and heat, into a means of assassination.

"Although he's using his brain, he's narrowed his options. But he's still young, so it's enough that he can protect himself. We can't ask too much of him!"

Miku, shifting his gaze from Mino, knew that he no longer needed to keep a close eye on the little guy; Mino, having deeply developed his abilities, already possessed the power to protect himself.

However, despite saying that, Miku still had some feelings for Mino.

"So, who should we look at next?"

The scene shifts to Blackie, who is now obediently fighting against the chosen ones from the world of the Eye Demons within the city.

"A clever lad, he wasn't blinded by hatred. Instead, he took the time to adapt to and adjust to the Eye of the War Demon, and to explore its abilities. Only after he had perfected his preparations did he decide to fight!"

"As expected of the person I chose and bet heavily on. They know how to handle things!"

After offering a few words of praise, Miku changed the image again.

Most of the scenes within the city were normal, except for one place!

A female knight, her entire body shimmering in emerald green, is battling a chosen one from the world of the Eye Demons, while beside her lies a young man, severely wounded and on the verge of death.

"This man is...."

Miku's pupils contracted, and a smile appeared on his lips: "I see. No wonder I haven't seen Tomie Kanon for a while. Turns out she went to Makoto Fukami's side!"

"If that's the case, then things are much easier; we have an opportunity!"

...........

Lutang City.

street.

"Haa!"

With a sharp cry, fists and feet, accompanied by a fierce wind, struck at the vital points of the chosen one in the Eye Demon World.

"Boom!"

The Eye Demon Chosen, with its arms crossed in front of its chest, forcefully blocked Tomie Kanon's kick. Standing firmly in place without wavering, the Eye Demon Chosen grinned maliciously: "Little girl, although we don't know where you got the Necrom's eye-protecting bracelet, since you've run into us today, you'll die here!"

The chosen one of the Eye Demons, who grabbed Fukie Kanon's wrist, flashed a fierce light in his eyes. "Roar!" A ferocious roar burst from deep in his throat. While pulling Fukie Kanon's wrist sharply towards himself, he opened his other hand, the size of a fan, and grabbed Fukie Kanon's head.

"Huayin..."

Cheng, lying on the roadside, had his vision blurred by the blood flowing from the wound on his forehead. Blood streamed down his face, and he was covered in wounds. He lay on the ground and reached out his hand to Tomie Kanon.

"Hua...yin..."

Makoto, his lips twitching, tried to get closer to Kanon Tomie, but a slender girl in a brown-green military uniform stepped on his back.

"Young man, you can't move around like that!"

Nearly a hundred fist-sized beholders floated around the girl, and without exception, each of these small beholders carried a thin sewing needle.

"Huayin..."

"Hmm?" The girl looked down at Cheng Ge, and after realizing his condition, she moved her foot away, feeling rather bored. "His consciousness is already fading. How boring."

"Huayin..."

As Makoto kept repeating the name of Kanon Tomie, his vision gradually became filled with darkness, and his consciousness slowly sank into endless darkness.

"Kid, do you want to gain power?"
