She roared and ripped off the dwarf's tongue, which he hadn't yet retracted.

Then, he took off running.

Yuko was severely injured before she could even understand what was happening.

Until she comes up with a solution, Yuko will not confront Nakamura again.

Yuko ran frantically for a while, occasionally turning back to see if the guy was catching up.

Fortunately, Yuko had inflicted wounds on the other party before fleeing, so it seemed to have no intention of chasing after her.

"Phew," she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

“Those resurrected ones aren’t much, but elite monsters like Nakamura shouldn’t be underestimated.” At this moment, Sakakibara Ikuko truly realized the danger of this place.

Feeling a tingling sensation in her left shoulder, Yuko tore off her school uniform and tied a simple knot around the wound.

'I wonder if I'll get infected.' She was a little worried. Her physical condition had indeed improved, but she was afraid that an injury of this severity would not heal on its own.

Looking for the infirmary?

Yuko dismissed the idea without much hesitation.

Even if I could find it, given my limited medical knowledge, the most I could do was spray some alcohol on the wound.

The most important thing is to find the exit first.

At that moment, Yuko's eyes narrowed.

Not far away, a huge dark figure was walking towards her.

Chapter 67 Killing Talent

A strong body, a ferocious bear head, and a crooked nose.

Yu Zi suddenly realized who she had encountered. "I couldn't find you before, but now everyone's showing up?"

Enemies meeting. Their eyes blaze with hatred.

Misa Ohara, in her bear-like form, threw down the Resurrected One she was carrying on her shoulder and let out an angry roar.

"Roar!!!"

Sakakibara Ikuko's face was solemn. With one hand crippled, she was not confident in facing such a powerful enemy.

Turning back now would be suicide, so there's no other option but to fight!

"Ah ah!"

Not to be outdone, Yuko let out a loud shout and went all out.

"Bang!" The two, a human and a monster of vastly different sizes, collided, yet were evenly matched, each taking two steps back.

The bear monster was filled with astonishment. It stared at the tiny girl in disbelief, unable to comprehend how such power could erupt from her small body.

'They're evenly matched in strength,' Yuko thought calmly.

With a burst of power from her calves, Yuko charged towards the bear monster.

A heavy punch landed on the bear monster's leg, only to make it grin contemptuously.

Can it withstand a beating? Then let's try a different approach.

Yu Zi transformed her fist into a claw, and with a flick of her wrist, tore off a large chunk of flesh.

"Roar!!!"

The bear-like monster, in pain, swung its paw at Yuko.

Yu Zi deftly flipped over, her claws missing their mark, which only made the bear monster more agitated.

They are about the same in strength, but their speed and agility cannot compare to his.

Even if you can only use one hand, you still have a chance of winning!

Sakakibara Ikuko's heart gradually calmed down, and she followed her instincts, unleashing techniques she had never dared to imagine before.

Her perfectly timed dodges left her completely unharmed.

In contrast to her, the bear monster was soon covered in wounds.

The blood stained its fur, but it seemed to be able to do nothing but keep waving its claws in vain.

It was horrified to discover that the opponent before it was far more difficult to deal with than expected.

It was one thing if he couldn't hit her right away, but he could have put up a long battle with his powerful self-healing ability.

For some reason, the wounds that Yuko caused were extremely difficult to heal!

If this continues...

It turned to run away, but Yuko wasn't going to let it go.

"Running away when you can't win? There's no such thing as a free lunch!"

Taking advantage of the opening created when the bear monster turned around, she leaped into the air.

"Death!"

Her long legs wrapped around the bear monster's head, and with a 'crackling' sound, Yuko spun around 360 degrees.

"Phew!" Yu Zi breathed a sigh of relief after jumping to the ground.

"What an incredible victory."

Yuko's chances of winning were only theoretical, but she not only achieved it, she did it perfectly.

Before the strange incident at the school, she had never fought a life-or-death battle. How could she have improved to this extent in just a few days? She found it hard to believe.

If it were Nakamura in his human form, he would definitely answer her like this: "Nothing is impossible, because you have already awakened."

Yes, Yuko has awakened.

The mysteries of the awakened are varied and bizarre, but the mystery possessed by Sakakibara Ikuko is clearly related to killing.

Higher, faster, stronger—it's all for the sake of better killing!

Perhaps this mystery can be called — a talent for killing.

Yuko was completely unaware of this, and unable to understand it, she made a huge mistake.

She actually started to drift off into thought in front of the enemy.

Although the enemy's head had rotated 360 degrees and it looked as if it were dead, it was a monster, so how could it be measured by human common sense?

A full-force attack!

Before Yuko could react, she instinctively raised her intact right hand to shield herself.

The familiar sound of bones cracking rang out, and Yuko coughed up a mouthful of blood in mid-air.

His hands were crippled, and several bones in his chest were broken.

In an instant, Sakakibara Ikuko showed a look of despair.

She managed to shift her position in mid-air to lessen the impact of landing, rolled a few times on the ground, and then stumbled away.

If the bear monster catches up at this moment, Yuko will have absolutely no chance of escaping.

But surprisingly, it didn't move.

After raising its paw and straightening its bear head, the bear monster sat down on the ground with a thud.

Its face showed a human-like look of exhaustion; after fighting for so long, it was completely worn out.

Weakly crawling to the body of the resurrected creature it had discarded, the bear-like monster opened its mouth and began to gnaw on the resurrected creature's already mangled body.

As the bear monster ate, the bleeding from its wounds gradually stopped.

The torn flesh grew back rapidly, and its eyes regained their light.

......................................................................

Run, run, run!

Yu Zi dared not turn around, fearing that the brief pause would cost her her life.

Her mind went blank, and her legs moved mechanically.

Without knowing direction or purpose, she just kept running.

In this fog-shrouded campus, time has lost its meaning.

After running for an unknown amount of time, Sakakibara Ikuko suddenly collapsed to the ground.

I can't run anymore, I can't go on.

Come on, come and eat me.

But after waiting for a long time, apart from his own heavy breathing, there was no sound from the surroundings.

saved?

Yuko opened her mouth, but couldn't manage a smile.

I've escaped this time, but how much longer can I hold on?

Yu Zi lay on the ground, feeling utterly dejected, when suddenly she noticed a small piece of wood in front of her.

"Wait, could it be...?"

With difficulty, Yuko raised her head and searched carefully for something.

Sure enough, there was chalk dust near the wooden block.

After wandering around for ages, I never expected to end up back in this place again.

Yuko felt a mix of emotions and suddenly felt an urge to cry.

"Since we've come this far, let's go back. Before I die, I want to see Bubble one last time."

With that thought in mind, Yuko mustered her courage and stood up again.

Following the markings on the ground, she slowly walked towards the classroom.
