Chapter Sixty-Three: The Swinging Scales

Using the manipulation of electric arcs to limit the extremely fast burst speed of the Feathered Ghoul has proven to be extremely effective. At least, even when facing the unimaginable power of Yomi, it was difficult for her to find a way to break the deadlock in a short period of time.

What's even more terrifying is that you also have to face Huang Quan, whose swordsmanship is exquisite and terrifying.

Her growth made Iruma Kaname's eyelids twitch!

From the initial awkwardness and stiffness in manipulating the arc sword light to the rapid mastery and fluidity in battle, he has begun to integrate this terrifying power with his swordsmanship. Indeed, there are people in this world with extraordinary talent in certain areas, and the [Sword Demon's] talent lies in the mastery of his skills.

'What should we do?'

Iruma Kaname glanced at the battle on Touka's side, which seemed to be entangled with the white dove as well. However, Huang Quan's sword was severely restricted in this torrential rain. As she wielded the electric sword light, it was already subtly delving into a more refined realm. The electric arcs that occasionally spilled into the air brought with them a terrifying and awe-inspiring power.

'Use all your strength to destroy her sword!'

Having no other choice, Irimi Kaname made a bold decision.

Regardless of whether that sword is Kunk or something else, if you condense your kagune and cleave it in two, then Yomi probably won't be able to use that power anymore.

Moreover, for ghouls, destroying objects made of ordinary metal is not a difficult task at all.

The premise is...

[Sword Demon] Huang Quan's sword can't be that outrageous!

With its sharp wings unfurled, the Black Dog, which had been crouching and dodging, leaped back with surprising agility, its claws digging deep into the ground. This obvious charging stance brought Huang Quan's continuous pursuit and slashing to a halt. Wielding the demonic sword while simultaneously using Imperial swordsmanship was a considerable burden for Huang Quan.

The opponent was clearly a seasoned ghoul, able to handle this unprecedented attack method.

"It looks like things are about to end for Amen and the others as well."

Without even turning around, Huang Quan could sense the rising momentum of his partner on the other side, thanks to his keen sword intuition. He couldn't afford to fall too far behind.

"【Sword Demon】, you are a respectable yet terrifying opponent." This was the assessment given by the ghoul 【Black Dog】 when facing 【Sword Demon】. It was unbelievable that this 17-year-old girl possessed such terrifying combat power. Irimi Kaname saw the shadow of the former 【White Reaper】 in Yomi.

"I have no obligation to flatter ghouls, so shut your mouth."

"They really show no mercy..."

She chuckled self-deprecatingly, and the streamlined feathers on her back suddenly lowered, propelling her forward like a cannonball! This was the fastest speed [Black Dog] could unleash. Her fierce eyes were fixed on the demonic sword that gleamed with a chilling aura!

Destroy it!!

At this moment, even the air seemed as murky and difficult to breathe as a swamp, and the whole world seemed to slow down. She could clearly see the raindrops slowly falling from the sky, and she could also see Huang Quan's calm and serene eyes behind the rain curtain, undisturbed.

Suddenly, Huang Quan's mouth opened and closed slightly, and he said something...

However, faced with that exaggerated speed that could only be caught as a fleeting afterimage by a normal person's eyes, [Sword Demon] Huang Quan seemed to have been prepared to meet the impact. Just as Ru Jianxuan was about to get close, he adjusted the angle of [Panming Sword] and parried the attack!

Swordsman's Sword Skill: [Automatic Parry]!

Irimi Kaname, whose original target was the weapon of the underworld, was overjoyed. Her sharp claws reached directly for the gleaming blade. If she could destroy it like an ordinary weapon, then this battle could be over.

"What an idiot."

Huang Quan's belated voice finally reached Ru Jianxuan's ears.

The instant she touched the [Panming Sword], a powerful arc of electric light shot out, tearing her already severely injured hands apart, sending blood and gore flying. But determined to destroy the weapon, Irumi Xuan seemed oblivious to the pain, and with a surge of ruthless force, she grabbed directly at the sword!

Swordsman's sword skill: [Parry and Counterattack]!

The intense sword light was blinding! That fleeting, deadly sword made one's eyes sting and ache!

The noisy rain in Irimi Kaname's ears disappeared, and she was uncontrollably propelled into the air. The fleeting, dazzling sword light still lingered on her retinas. She didn't know how much time had passed before her mind, ravaged by the sword's intent, slowly recovered, finally crashing heavily to the ground!

thump!

The other half of the alley, starting from Huang Quan's feet, spread outwards in all directions, revealing a dense array of tearing sword marks! It looked as if a horrific scene had been swept by a storm of sword energy!

Meanwhile, Iruma Kasumi was lying at the end of the spreading sword wound, her whole body aching terribly, unable to move.

She recalled what had just happened... The moment she grabbed the sword, Huang Quan, who always fought with a sword, rammed into her with his shoulder like a brute! Then countless arcs of electric sword light swept down from below, sending her flying!

When consciousness returned, it looked like this.

In fact, at the very moment of parrying and counterattacking, Huang Quan smoothly and seamlessly connected with another sword technique of the sword master, the Rising Dragon Sword.

Facing Irimi Haku's charging momentum, he fearlessly charged straight at her! His advancing sword energy completely neutralized her momentum, and the ensuing whirlwind of sword energy sent Irimi Haku flying upwards. Originally, Huang Quan had planned to use the [Sword Control Technique] to smoothly connect other sword techniques after the [Rising Dragon Sword], but because he couldn't control the subsequent overflowing sword energy, he had to abandon that plan.

Otherwise, Iruma Kasumi wouldn't just be lying on the ground unable to get up right now.

"Huh?! Yamen!"

Just as Yomi was about to sheath her sword to injure all of Black Dog's kagune, she was suddenly startled. She instinctively turned her head and saw that her partner Amon's Kunk was being torn to shreds by the rising kagune! The heavy metal pillar at the top of the half-section of the Koukaku Dojima was actually crumbling and disintegrating!

Because Kunke was cut open by the Kagune, blood splattered everywhere as Amon faced the barrage of Kagune that pierced through the rain!

The powerful kagune that the rabbit had accumulated over the entire time overwhelmed the Kogaku Kunk in one fell swoop!

Huang Quan had no time to pay attention to the [black dog] on the ground. In an instant, she appeared beside Amon. With a flash of sword light, she swept up the pursuing kagune and flung it to both sides. Countless kagune pinned to the ground, creating a series of gruesome wounds. Only when Amon, who had survived the ordeal, felt the hot breath in his lungs did he notice that his hands were bleeding profusely from the kagune.

The scales of victory, which had been wavering, have returned to the center.

Chapter Sixty-Four: A Close Call

"Are you alright, Yamen Yi?"

At first glance, the tearing and cracking marks on Amon's hands were shocking, and Huang Quan's heart sank. If Amon's hands were ruined, it would be a fatal blow to his career as an investigator.

"Thank you, Huang Quan... I can still fight."

They were all superficial wounds, which looked terrible, but they did not damage the bones or muscles.

What pained Amon Kotaro most was the destruction of his Quinque, which had been with him since graduation. Although it wasn't a particularly high-level Quinque, it was still a memento from his deceased girlfriend. Because of its low level, it finally succumbed to its natural lifespan under the intense hunting activities of the Raven Squad.

With the help of Huang Quan, she struggled to her feet and glanced at her battlefield.

The black dog that had fallen to the ground got up.

"What a terrible day. I'm sorry I dragged you down, Yomi." Clutching the remains of Quink, Amon realized he had been the one to hold Yomi back. The crows were patrolling in pairs, not three. With one member missing from the trio, the weakest link would inevitably drag down the others.

"What are you thinking about, Yamen, the first-class magistrate!"

Huang Quan's voice remained calm and composed throughout. In their past hunting careers, they had faced dangers a hundred times more perilous than this.

Back then, it was her partners, Amon and Mado, who stood in front of her; now it was her turn to shield her from danger. Besides, even facing two opponents in such narrow and simple terrain, Yomi didn't believe she would lose. The [Sword Demon] would never be defeated!

After her all-out attack, Kirishima Touka was somewhat exhausted, and the massive eruption of her katana left her weaker than ever before.

What followed was a growing feeling of hunger!

'The investigator must taste delicious...' This sudden thought sent a chill down Touka's spine. As expected, the hunger of ghouls is a hell that can devour everything! She originally just wanted to defeat the crows as soon as possible and take Hinami away, but it turned into a predatory hunt!

"【Sword Demon】Yellow Springs!"

Kirishima Touka knocked down the mountain, but what came towards her was a deadly sword. That proud figure exuded an exceptionally chilling and intense aura!

Water droplets rolled down the bright sword blade, the sight of those crystal-clear jade beads rolling on the gleaming steel was unexpectedly beautiful. The hand holding the sword remained as steady as a mountain, and as his gaze shifted to this scene, Huang Quan, who was in a disadvantageous position, unexpectedly overwhelmed [Black Dog] and [Rabbit] with an exaggeratedly chilling sword intent.

"What a troublesome demon..."

Rumi Kaname gasped for breath. She had almost died by the sword of the underworld. Recalling the moment when her consciousness was stripped away by the sword's intent, Rumi Kaname truly felt the approaching footsteps of death.

"Do you still want to continue fighting? [Sword Demon], even if you can still fight, you can't be reckless with your partner who has lost his weapon. Are you going to fight us to the death even if it means risking your partner's life? Besides, we just want to get that child back. Let's get out of this alley and stop fighting."

The ghoul's eyes behind the mask faded, restoring their beautiful blackness.

She hoped that Yomi would stop, although Irimi herself wasn't very confident that she could persuade the "Sword Demon." At least in her knowledge, the "Sword Demon" Yomi had never fled from a ghoul; all that was known were rumors of her ruthlessly killing them.

"..."

Huang Quan responded to Ru Jianxuan with a cold expression and an unwavering sword, the resolute intent conveyed in his scarlet eyes leaving no room for doubt.

Demanding that [Sword Demon] Huang Quan admit defeat is more like a desecration of her fighting spirit!

"Are your hands and feet broken? Amen, sir."

Suddenly, Yomi, with her back to Amon, asked this question. This was an evolution of Mado Kureo's admonition to his disciple. Mado Kureo had said that even if one's limbs were broken, one should still rise and fight against the enemy. Now, Yomi was asking Amon Kotaro this question, inquiring whether he could still fight.

"I want curry fried chicken tonight."

Amon's usually serious and earnest answer seemed to be irrelevant, but their mutual understanding made it clear what his partner really wanted to say.

Huang Quan and Ya Men both smiled slightly, a barely perceptible curve appearing at the corners of their mouths.

"Tch! Two stubborn fools!" Although Kirishima Touka didn't understand what the two crows were saying, just looking at their high fighting spirit, she didn't think they intended to run away obediently.

What exactly is it that keeps these two fighting?

The situation was clearly unfavorable, so why didn't they escape? The ghouls weren't trying to wipe them out; they just wanted to get their child back! Touka Kirishima truly couldn't understand. Faced with the will of the two investigators, she felt an inexplicable fear for the first time. Humanity was a race that could never be defeated, and the answer lay with these two!

"Sigh..." With a soft sigh, the feathered dart behind Irumi Xuan began to vibrate rhythmically again. What an admirable enemy.

Despite my admiration, my resolve to win back Hinami remains unwavering.

"Amon-ichi, I'm entrusting my back to you." Facing two ghouls with kagune attacking from two directions, Yomi couldn't possibly take care of both Amon and Hinami Fueguchi, no matter how exquisite and fierce her swordsmanship was.

Since that's the case, let's kill one of them first!

The crimson eyes that inadvertently swept over the rabbit had completely erased any superfluous emotions, revealing only an inorganic indifference.

But if we do that, we won't be able to take care of Amon.

and so……

Please don't die, Amon Kotaro!

Holding his breath and focusing his mind, man and sword became one, completely concealing all the outward sword intent and momentum. The arcs of electricity that were originally wrapped around the [Panming Sword] were also completely pressed into the blade by some unseen force, without leaking out in the slightest. The truly terrifying power is not destruction, but control.

The more precisely the power is controlled, the more terrifying its destructive power can be.

The sword's shadow flickered in the rain, eventually disappearing completely!

Irimi Kaname and Kirishima Touka stared intently at the [Sword Demon] standing before them, sword in hand. Their attention was uncontrollably drawn to her sword. Their biological instincts warned them that this strike was undoubtedly the [Sword Demon] Yomi's peak skill at this moment. Even her senses had been forcibly stolen; even a ghoul would be utterly killed if it were slain.
