I am a female swordsman.

They won't even leave a body behind...

Just as they were waiting for the final wave of Aogiri Tree ghouls to attack, a roar like that of a wild beast suddenly came from outside, followed by a piercing shriek!

The high-frequency roaring sound was like a ferocious beast breaking free of its cage, slashing and ravaging at will. Even the white doves, separated by a thick wall, could feel a kind of chilling and sharp intent. If it weren't for this wall, the rampaging beast outside might have already rushed in.

The commotion outside the safe house suddenly became extremely quiet after a certain moment.

Once the trapped investigators were sure there was no sound outside, they mustered their courage and stepped out of the safe house. They saw ghouls lying dead on the ground outside!

Area 11, near the area of ​​the Special Support Team of the Temple.

"What, what is that?!"

An investigator, who was dealing with yet another wave of ghoul attacks, noticed the scene far behind him and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Chaos suddenly erupted at the Skopje mercenary group's position, which was providing remote support to Aogiri Tree. A series of flashing, scorching lights could be clearly seen between the floors they occupied. One after another, ghouls with guns blazing were dragged into this fierce sword light, and were immediately torn apart and killed.

"Yes... a sword?"

He casually shot down two ghouls that were trying to ambush him. Following the gaze of the crowd, Hoji and the others saw a nimble figure among the ghoul mercenaries who was painting with blood!

Her sword stirred up a strong gust of wind, and the sharp blade that violently tore at the ghoul's flesh and blood seemed like the blade of death, whipping up bursts of cold light that were extremely terrifying.

The sword's power cleaves through the air! It can cut through anything!

With the loss of long-range ghoul mercenary support, the pressure on Aogiri Tree's attack was immediately reduced. Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Hoji's team launched a counterattack and successfully repelled another of Aogiri Tree's attacks.

By the time they came to their senses, the figure wielding the sword of death had already vanished from the battlefield.

His figure was like a ghost!

Under the Illusion Sword Technique, countless ghouls couldn't even pinpoint the true form of the sword demon wielding the blade; all they could see were deathly sword lights carrying the intent of a raging storm and lightning. The sharp edge sliced ​​through them, and even the toughest kagune could only meet a clean and decisive end!

Completely unleashing its power, Huang Quan sped across the battlefield of District 11.

Her armor was splattered with blood from the fierce battle, but even more so with horrific, deep gashes—the result of the ghouls' desperate, last-ditch counterattacks. In such intense physical activity and combat, pushing herself to her limits step by step, Yomi had never felt such exhilarating urge to roar!

To wield a sword and pursue freedom, how could someone who is timid and hesitant be worthy of the legacy entrusted to her by the Sword Sect?

Ghouls below Rank A are no match for Yomi's sword!

Even the most resilient kagune of the Koukaku ghouls, after exerting all their strength to resist and restrain the [Sword Demon], could only delay their death by a few breaths.

Locally, Aogiri Tree's offensive has begun to crumble due to Yomi's sudden and rampant disruption and slaughter. Without the intervention of S-class executives, the ghouls are simply unable to stop Yomi's solo rampage. Yomi, turning the tide of battle, is tipping the scales of victory in the 11th Ward!

Chapter Eighty-Nine: Racing Against Time

In the ever-changing battlefield, an individual's strength is often insufficient to influence the entire battle situation in the face of numerous complex circumstances.

However, the war to exterminate ghouls is an exception!

When facing high-ranking ghouls, without a highly skilled martial arts investigator to hold them off, lower-ranking investigators are simply no match for the ghouls' rampage. Similarly, without a high-ranking ghoul to maintain order, the disorganized ghouls are essentially powerless against the specially trained White Doves.

The strongest human born from the White Sun Garden.

Arima Kishou, the captain of CCG's Zero Division and the man who has ascended the throne, once single-handedly slaughtered all the ghouls in the 4th Ward when he was fighting against them!

But nowadays...

In the face of the crisis of the "Aogiri Tree" wreaking havoc on Area 11, a new star investigator has emerged in the CCG, taking over the mantle of the "White Reaper," Kishou Arima. His figure, swift as a shooting star, appears on the battlefield of Area 11 with a calm and powerful presence, capable of killing almost every ten steps!

[Sword Demon] Huang Quan is forging his glorious throne with the lives of countless ghouls!

Both the ghouls and the CCG clearly had their own means of communication. Not long after Yomi rode the demonic sword into the battlefield and slaughtered everyone, a large number of Aogiri Tree ghouls began to gather and surround her, regardless of the consequences.

We must intercept the speeding figure of Sword Demon Huang Quan.

Otherwise, Aogiri Tree's offensive would soon be caught in a dilemma due to her proactive attack. She single-handedly disrupted the ghoul organization's offensive rhythm. Whether Yomi did it intentionally or unintentionally, she was undoubtedly one of the two focal points on the 11th district stage at this moment.

The focus is naturally on the offensive and defensive battles near the 11th Precinct branch and even inside the building.

Meanwhile, the CCG 11th District investigators scattered outside, including a number of White Doves who survived Yomi's actions, also began to take up arms and try to cooperate with Yomi's actions to restrain the ghouls more.

Area near the 11th Division

The top of the magnificent building!

Standing on the dangerous outer edge of the frame, the Aogiri Tree executive, Eto, whose entire body was wrapped in bandages, seemed to sense something and looked to the left, which was completely beyond the range of his vision.

From a human perspective, all that can be seen are countless overlapping afterimages. Due to the chaos of battle, the power supply system in Area 11 has also been damaged, and the entire area is filled with the sounds of explosions and screams, resembling a ghostly realm.

The next moment, Aite's right eye suddenly flashed a cruel and tyrannical crimson.

The lone ghoul eye seemed to have sensed something interesting, flashing with an eerie and violent light. From behind her petite body, at Eto's command, sharp crystalline prisms shot forth. Ignoring the terrifying height that could kill a ghoul, she swooped down like a demon!

At the same time.

Far, far away, Huang Quan, who was feeling his will becoming more and more rounded and smooth with the swing of the sword, suddenly had a violent jolt in his heart!

The sword flashed, and with a single slash, it was sheathed!

The desperately struggling ghoul was torn in two in mid-air along with its dancing ghoul.

The entire movement was fluid and seamless, leaving a lingering, tingling crackling sound in the air as the sword sliced ​​through it. As Huang Quan sheathed her sword, her almost supernaturally sharp intuition warned her: somewhere in Area 11, a ferocious beast, radiating an aura of savagery, had been unleashed!

An exceptionally terrifying enemy!

Judging solely from the level of threat that constantly triggers his warning nerves, Huang Quan could tell that the other party was at least an SS-rank ghoul.

It seems the other party's target isn't me...

After emerging from the intense battle, Huang Quan's first feeling was that her head was a little heavy, and everything around her seemed to slow down, giving her a severe sense of discomfort from not being able to adjust.

This was the first time Huang Quan had unleashed her potential so freely, fighting without restraint on a perilous battlefield. Even her energy-modified body was showing signs of strain after enduring such intense trials. Huang Quan was still unaware of the astonishing results she had achieved. She considered whether she should proactively intercept and kill the ghoul exuding an aura of brutality and cruelty; without a doubt, it was a high-ranking member of Aogiri Tree.

Just as Huang Quan was leaning on her longsword, catching her breath and thinking, her earpiece flashed a rapid red light.

A soft buzzing sound reminded Huang Quan that her teacher, Mado Kureo, was trying to contact her.

"teacher?"

"Huang Quan, are you alright? It shows you've been standing still for a while now."

The teacher's concerned voice came from the other end of the headset, and a grateful smile appeared on Huang Quan's handsome face, which was usually cold and indifferent.

Mado Kureo, who had been busy integrating the team, still managed to spare precious energy to monitor Yomi's situation. One can imagine how worried Mado was that something might happen to Yomi. Even with absolute trust in Yomi's sword, the battlefield situation was complex and unpredictable; who could guarantee that Yomi wouldn't encounter any unexpected circumstances?

"Don't worry, I'm not done yet."

"...You've done a fantastic job, but there's one more thing I need you to do. I just made contact with the 11th Division. The situation with Special Inspector Marude is extremely tense; he's successfully tied down a large number of Aogiri Tree personnel, including an SS-rank ghoul!"

"SS-rank? How did he do that?"

Before Mado Kureo could continue speaking, Yomi had already started walking towards the 11th District branch, where flames were raging and violent explosions were heard intermittently.

"After all, he is a Special Investigator and an excellent leader of the Countermeasures Division 2. Don't underestimate people who use their brains."

"Am I praising him?"

"So, let Yomi once again act as the Raven's razor and stab the enemy in the heart, nailing these filthy, rotten scum to the CCG's building!" No one is more suitable than Yomi right now to quickly arrive at the 11th Division branch and hold back the Aogiri Tree's executives in coordination with Marude's command!

Every second counts!

If Huang Quan continues to perform perfectly, acting as a pillar to help the 11th Division withstand this fierce attack from the ghouls, and buying enough time for other squads to support or even annihilate them, the CCG can finish the job in one battle and bury this so-called "Aogiri Tree" in the 11th District!

"Expected delay time?"

With the help of others, Huang Quan wasn't too worried about holding off an SS-rank ghoul. She casually grabbed the motorcycle lying on the ground, slammed on the gas, and felt the roar of the engine beneath her. The next moment, the steel beast carried her away like a shooting star!

"Start the timer now, thirty minutes."

"Well, today is a good day to die."

Chapter 90: Support Has Arrived

District 11, CCG Branch

For Marude Sai, who climbed to the Special Class rank solely through intellect, the current situation in Area 11 is the best solution he can achieve. The ghouls facing him head-on are simply too powerful; even with fortifications throughout the entire branch building, it's difficult to stem their momentum.

in particular……

This ghoul is named Tatara!

In the surveillance footage, a ghoul with short white hair and a semi-enclosed lower half emerged unharmed from a deafening explosion that engulfed everything, swinging his kagune as he walked out.

Marute Tetsu felt a profound sense of powerlessness in the face of this.

The worst situation for an investigator who relies on their brains is this: all their plans and schemes are useless in the face of overwhelming strength.

The SS-rank ghoul, Tatara, is also recorded in the database of the Tokyo CCG headquarters. A former Chinese ghoul, he survived an extremely terrifying battle, which gives an idea of ​​how formidable Tatara's strength is. Currently, there is no one in the 11th Division who can stop his advance.

This resulted in many of Marudesai's arrangements being ineffective!

"Mado, when is your precious apprentice coming to the rescue? If he's any later, I'm going to lose my life here today..."

Watching Tatara easily pry open the space sealed off by the explosion on the monitor screen, Marude stroked his chin and muttered to himself.

As if sensing he was being watched, Tatara, walking through the collapsed corridor, slightly raised his head, his scarlet ghoul eyes locking onto an inconspicuous surveillance camera at the end of the corridor. With a whoosh, the tail of his ghoul extended from behind him, piercing and destroying the surveillance device.

Another area of ​​darkness appeared on the command post's large screen...

The terrifying nature of the SS-rank ghoul Tatara is undeniable, but what truly overwhelmed Marude and his comrades was the inexplicable blackout of surveillance cameras in certain areas of the building. It was as if a terrifying, profound darkness was spreading outwards from those areas, swallowing up all resistance in its path.

At this moment, outside the 11th Division.

Buzz! Buzz buzz buzz!!!

The approaching roar of engines caused the multi-headed ghouls advancing towards the inner part of the branch building to stop in their tracks.

They all turned around and looked toward the source of the sound, somewhat unable to understand why there would be biker gangs speeding through the streets at this hour.

Buzzing!!

Suddenly, it leaped up the slope! The bright headlights on the front of the motorcycle were dazzling, causing the ghouls who were looking around to instinctively lower their heads. Hidden behind the lights, Huang Quan, who was crouching low on the motorcycle, had already drawn her sword. Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Huang Quan flashed down the slope with the speed of a startled swan!

Boom!

The motorcycle that crashed to the ground instantly turned into a violent fireball. The intense flames temporarily blinded the ghouls. By the time they reacted, the sharp, cold sword light was already rushing towards them.

Like a nimble, cold glint of light, she moved effortlessly among them, her speed leaving no time for defense or reaction. A tingling sensation filled the scorching air. With a single thrust, she pierced and tore apart the leader ghoul's heart, swiftly executing him before he could unleash his kagune. Using the momentum of his corpse as leverage, she leaped forward, beginning her slaughter amidst the chaos. Wielding her blade, she effortlessly reaped the lives of these ghouls.

From landing to launching an attack and ending the battle, the entire process took only a dozen seconds!

Meanwhile, many ghouls nearby, alerted by the disturbance, realized the situation had changed and quickly surrounded Yomi's location, intending to intercept and kill her outside the building.
