I am a female swordsman.

The scene seen through the sniper scope is something that only happens in hell.

They ate each other, and it was the younger brother eating the older brother's corpse. Just thinking about it is disgusting. The scene that Mado Kureo witnessed is why he believes that ghouls, these man-eating monsters, must be exterminated. They are beyond redemption, beyond redemption; even hell has no place for them.

"Crunch, crunch, crunch!"

Chewing, swallowing, biting, chewing, swallowing.

This is...this is my brother's kagune, my brother's flesh. Eat it, eat it, eat it...live on your own, along with my brother's share, and take revenge on those despicable humans...kill, kill, kill, kill...eat, eat, eat...! Disgusting, awful! ...Brother, brother, I can feel you...!

Heh!

"This is Second Class Investigator Akira Mado. The enemy S-rank ghoul, the [Bottle Brothers], has changed its rank... its number of individuals has decreased to one, and it has been upgraded to an SS-rank ghoul, a Kakuja!"

That extremely ominous and twisted black kagune, gleaming with a deathly gray metallic sheen, resembled a mythical mongoose. It nervously swung its two thorny tails, its ferocious claws leaving exaggerated scratches on the ground. Most striking of all were the kagune eyes atop its beastly head!

They are arranged vertically, not like a pair, but rather a strange arrangement of one eye for each person.

It's simply a monster that can instill primal terror in others!

"To fight such a monster is simply..." Igarashi, who had just caught his breath, looked at the [Bottle Brothers] in their ghoul form and felt a deep sense of despair.

As for Hilde, she simply shut her mouth and stared intently at the monster.

It gave humans the feeling of a nightmare crawling out from the deepest recesses of their hearts, causing them to involuntarily hold their breath, shut their mouths, and pray that it wouldn't target them. Although such thoughts were shameful, Hilde was truly grateful that the monster was in a state of chaos and hadn't targeted her!

Glug! Glug! Glug! Glug!

Is it the nauseating sound of irregular eyeball movement, or the sound of brain matter shaking inside the skull?

Boom!!

The strange, jagged claws slammed into the ground, causing a mournful tremor. Two grotesque eyes darted around erratically before finally locking onto the three below! At the same time, the [Young Ravens] felt an overwhelming sense of despair pressing down on their hearts!

Snapped!

Three beams of snow-white light descended from the sky! Like sharp swords of dawn piercing through the darkness and despair, they illuminated the terrifying monster with perfect clarity! In the bright white helicopter lights, the investigators at the scene vaguely saw a shadow resembling the flapping of crows, as if a god had descended to earth!

"Special order from Marude: It has been confirmed that the enemy S-rank ghoul, the [Bottle Brothers], has undergone an mutation. Their rank has been redefined as SS-rank, Kakuja. Title: [Two-Tail]. They will now be driven out by [Crow]. The goal is to expel the [Two-Tail] from the 11th ward to prevent it from affecting the subsequent [Aogiri Tree] extermination operation."

laugh! !

Standing in front of the cabin door, the Sword Demon drew her beloved sword. Through the gleaming blade, she saw her own exceptionally cold and repressed eyes in the bright white light, so bloodshot they seemed about to bleed.

"So, it wouldn't be a problem to kill that monster, would it?"

The swordsman who descended from the sky left the investigators with a battlefield legend of a single sword strike that could ward off ghosts and gods.

Chapter 143 [Crow] vs. [Two-Tailed Fox]

【Two-Tailed】, SS-rank ghoul, the Tail-Haunted One.

Moreover, in her berserk state, devoid of reason, she is undoubtedly several times more dangerous than the SS-rank ghoul [Tatara] that Yomi once faced. However, this time she is not fighting alone; the entire Crow Trio is with her! With her partner's cover, Yomi can unleash power exceeding 100% of her own!

We will win this battle!

The [Old Raven] that fell from the sky possessed an extremely dangerous and intensely bloody aura.

The Two-Tailed Beast, which had already locked onto the Young Crow and was preparing to attack, immediately shifted its target, lowered its beast-transformed body to the ground, and emitted a warning sound from its throat, similar to a feline purr.

"Second-class officer Mado, please take [Young Crow] and withdraw from the battlefield."

As Mado Kureo slid down the rappelling rope, he glanced at the battered and bruised "Young Crow." Leaving them on the battlefield, where a terrifying battle was about to erupt, was practically suicide.

"Leave the rest to us."

Amon Kotaro's imposing and powerful body stood like an iron wall in front of him, wielding an exaggeratedly large, door-sized greatsword as he scrutinized the restless Two-Tails. His gaze, like that of a butcher slaughtering his prey, added even more pressure to the Two-Tails.

The intense killing intent emanating from Mado Kureo was unreserved.

A powerful and solemn aura emanated from Yamen.

And standing behind the giant Amon, Huang Quan exuded a sharp and intimidating aura at all times. The combined presence of these three made the crazed Two-Tailed Beast instinctively sense danger!

Akira Mado looked at the three people in front of her.

These three spirited investigators were very important to her. Akira Mado opened her mouth as if to say something, but ultimately nothing came out. Just like a scene of life and death in countless movies, Akira Mado and her two teammates silently withdrew from the battlefield.

The stage now belongs to [Old Raven]!

'Father, and Amon, and Huangquan, I'm waiting for you to return.'

………………

【Two-Tail】Its body has very serious deformities. The kagune covering its body is not like the usual kagune. Instead, it is oily brown and shiny with a fur-like luster, yet it also has a metallic texture.

"Let's go, Yellow Springs."

"kill!!"

With swords drawn, Amon and Yomi transformed into arrows almost simultaneously, swooping down on the Two-Tails from the left and right! This obvious attack immediately enraged the Two-Tails, whose ferocious, cat-like head let out a roar that sent shivers down the spine!

Whoosh!

Two tails, each covered in deadly thorns, lashed out fiercely at Amon and Huangquan respectively!

The two exchanged glances hastily and immediately understood their partner's intention. Amon roared and increased his charging speed, his massive sword, as big as a door panel, smashing fiercely towards one of the forelimbs of the Two-Tailed Beast! In another direction, Yomi's figure suddenly shattered, and like a phantom, he arrived below the thorny tail that was lashing out at his partner!

A fleeting glimpse of sharpness carries the illusion of cutting one's vision!

[Two-Tail] immediately let out a painful howl! Its right forelimb was deeply slammed into the ground by the Kagaku Kurama, and a deep cut was made on one of its tails!

"It didn't cut through!"

Amon shouted loudly, the [Two-Tailed]'s covering kagune form was covered with a large amount of fur-like material, and his Kunuka Kagune - Cang failed to break through the defense, instead being deflected by the slash. Although Yomi's sword made some progress, it was completely useless in the face of the Kagune's exaggerated regenerative ability.

The first tentative exchange made [Crow] realize just how ferocious [Two-Tailed Fox] was!

Like a feline, the Two-Tailed Beast swiftly extended its claws as Amon retreated. The bladed claws, formed from the transformation of its kagune, shot out with a single strike! The powerful Amon was forced to retreat continuously, and even the Kagune-Kura used to block it groaned as it struggled under the weight!

Seeing that they had the upper hand.

[Two-Tailed] lay on the ground, aimed at the sky, and let out a long howl, its two soft yet strong tails slapping the ground with tremendous force. Large clouds of dust and ash billowed up, making it difficult for the search team that had intended to provide long-range fire support to [Crow] to carry out their mission.

They were already dealing with the ghouls of [Aogiri Tree], and the interlocking situation was already overwhelming. Now, an SS-rank ghoul has appeared on the battlefield, which is simply killing them.

"Yomi, lead it to your right; that's an open ruin area." Mado Kureo calmly observed and immediately issued the command after noticing some of the Two-Tailed Beast's habits.

"clear."

With lightning-fast reflexes, Huang Quan effortlessly dodged the thorny tail, seizing the opportune moment to deliver a ruthless Imperial Sword Technique that shaved off a layer of skin from the Two-Tails. Swinging his sword, Huang Quan made a provocative gesture towards the Two-Tails. Despite its frenzy, the Two-Tails, still retaining some instincts, immediately reacted as if severely provoked, lunging at Huang Quan in a frenzy!

'Open area!'

Following the instructions of her teacher Mado, Yomi immediately led the two-tailed beast towards an open area.

First, stay away from ordinary investigators. Investigators with insufficient combat strength will basically be killed instantly if they get involved.

Watching from afar as Yomi, alone with her sword, lured away the terrifying Kakuja, the investigators engaged in a fierce battle with the [Aogiri Tree] nearby were all visibly shocked. The Two-Tails rampaged through the night, its crimson Kakuja eyes leaving afterimages with each head-throwing attack—a truly terrifying sight!

"【Two-Tailed Fox】likes to perform multi-stage leaping attacks, using an arc-shaped trajectory... I suspect..."

Rumble!!

"Roar!!!!"

"...Pah! I doubt he retains any intelligence! He deliberately creates smoke to hide himself, as cunning as a cat!" Huang Quan, being chased, communicated with his two partners through his earpiece, sharing his firsthand experience. The other party was relentlessly pursuing him, showing no intention of letting go.

The relentless, chilling howls of attack swept in like the shadows of death under the night sky.

Huang Quan witnessed firsthand how, after he and the two-tailed beast charged into an abandoned building, the raging beast's powerful tail swept away and shattered all obstacles in its path. If a human were caught off guard and struck by that spiky tail, they would likely explode into a horrific mass of minced meat on the spot!

However, Huang Quan also discovered a place where the Two-Tailed Beast might have a weakness.

"Its two eyes are not coordinated, and it seems to have lost the ability to process vision. In addition, it deliberately creates smoke to obscure its vision. It should mainly use sound to detect me."

Even in the midst of the intense battle, Yomi did not forget to observe the enemy. The experience she inherited from her teacher in fighting ghouls was put to full use at this moment. She believed that the Two-Tails' weakness was its eyes!

Chapter 144 Joint Suppression

The monster was like a crimson shadow in the night, cruel and deadly.

With its powerful hind legs propelled by muscle engines, each leap sends the ground cracking and trembling. The Two-Tailed Beast displays an astonishing speed and agility. Even Yomi, known for her agility, has to push her nerves to the limit in close combat!

The afterimage left on the retina when it's almost at its limit.

It is very likely that these are the investigators' last memories before they lost their lives. The sharp sword light unleashed by the [Sword Demon] rarely manages to completely penetrate the kagune covering them.

They eventually lured the Two-Tailed Beast to the so-called open ruins.

Huang Quan was breathing slightly heavily.

Covered in dust and dirt, she was now intently staring at the two-tailed creature, which was hunched over. The enemy was also known for its speed; its mutated body, nearly fifteen meters long, moved with such agility and speed that Huang Quan was constantly in danger. In particular, those two restless thorny tails almost severed Huang Quan in half.

My whole body stretched and I felt excited!

His ruby-like eyes gleamed with excitement, and the blade of Huang Quan, which gleamed with a deadly cold light in the darkness, began to emit a faint crackling sound of electricity.

speed?

Huang Quan didn't believe that he, with his deepening communication and increasing synchronization with the Demon Sword [Lightning Stonebringer], would lose to the [Two-Tailed Beast] before him. The reason why the sword techniques wielded by swordmasters possess such immense power is precisely because they pursue the ultimate burst of power to end any battle in an instant!

"Roar!!!"

The sound waves stirred up a cloud of dust, and the two-tailed creature, which had long wanted to tear the [Sword Demon] to shreds, roared and pounced. In the blink of an eye, Huang Quan's figure was shrouded in a huge black shadow.

Sizzle!

The serrated blades, appearing from nowhere, coiled and lashed out the instant the Two-Tails landed, their violent beauty slicing a long, intricate gash into the Two-Tails' head. Against this type of kagune with its glossy fur, the serrated blades proved surprisingly effective.

Linhe·Flute Mouth I

The kagune material for this weapon was taken from "The Doctor," a gift from Yomi to Mado Kureo. Although "The Doctor's" strength was appalling, his kagune was exceptionally good.

The Flute Mouth I, roaring and ripping like a chainsaw, was an absolute nightmare for the enemy when it appeared on the battlefield. Its complexity was such that even a quinque enthusiast like Kureo Mado took nearly a month to fully master it. Now, Mado can use the Flute Mouth I with the dexterity of a finger, cutting through a piece of A4 paper on a wooden board without damaging the board!

"What an eyesore! This little bastard brother ate his big bastard brother and naively imagines that the two of them can be together forever? How can that be? Ugly little bastard brother, let me tell you how to truly reunite with your brother! Hehehehe!"

Mado Kureo, staring with wide, disproportionate eyes, had already opened one of his two suitcases!

He was like the Grim Reaper, and the chilling aura he exuded instantly filled Two-Tails' five senses with ruthless ferocity!

“Here, we can minimize the impact of terrain.” Having just dodged the two-tailed beast’s continuous attacks, Huang Quan appeared at the other end of the battlefield.

Her white trench coat was nowhere to be seen; instead, she wore a black shirt over her curvaceous body, the shirt clinging to her skin and outlining her alluring curves, soaked with sweat. Facing an enemy of this caliber, Huang Quan was on high alert, allowing no room for the slightest carelessness.
