Knight Asylum

"This power... is mine!"

Hanoi raised his hand and slapped his chest hard, then yelled with great excitement.

"No one can take it away! Give me your power...!"

Aikawa Hajime supported himself on the ground with both hands, and the turbid water between his fingers reflected Kawachi's current appearance.

The mask is nothing more than a fig leaf to cover up the true nature of the Hanoi Monster.

Hanoi is now no different from a monster.

"Gah——"

Along with a bang, the armor on Hanoi's chest exploded, and a beast claw penetrated through the armor on Hanoi's chest.

"The golden fruit is mine!!!"

Behind Hanoi, Arai smiled grimly and pulled hard.

Chapter 1160 Is it a joker or an ace?

Looking at the golden fruit still oozing with blood in his hand, Arai didn't hesitate for a moment and started to take a bite with great excitement.

"help me--"

After the golden fruit was taken away, Kawachi turned back into a human and reached out his hand to Arai with difficulty.

"I don't want to die..."

It’s a pity that Arai only has eyes for the golden fruit in his hand.

When Arai swallowed the last bite of the golden fruit, woodpecker wings grew on his back, and Kochino died completely.

"Ha... This feeling is really great."

Arai finally looked at Kawachi, but kicked Kawachi's body over, bent down to take off the belt, put it on his waist, looked at Aikawa Hajime who was still supporting himself on the ground and had not stood up, and reached out to pull out the heavy sword.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting—"

"what--"

[Aikawa Hajime] let out a long breath, stood up, and slightly opened and closed the fingers hanging at the side of his body.

"Yeah, almost."

"Hand over your golden fruit!!!"

Arai held the greatsword in both hands, turned sideways and swung the sword towards Aikawa Hajime's head. The blade in his hand turned into a violent storm and fell towards Aikawa Hajime.

In that fierce attack, [Aikawa Hajime] was as fragile as a soap bubble, but no matter how Arai swung the heavy sword or how he increased his speed, he could not touch [Aikawa Hajime].

"What the hell is this!" Arai tensed up.

He had seen the battle between Aikawa Hajime and Kawachi just now. Relying on this armor that had special suppression effects on undead beasts, Aikawa Hajime was no match for Kawachi.

But now, Aikawa Hajime seemed like a different person. He dodged all the slashes with the smallest amplitude, and his whole body exuded a cold aura, like an emotionless fighting machine.

"I just dodged one of your mindless attacks. Is that a surprise?"

[Aikawa Hajime] slapped him sideways, and Arai, who was swinging his sword in a hurry, had no time to dodge and was hit and fell to the ground.

It was not lethal enough, but it was extremely polluting. Arai immediately became angry, threw away the sword in his hand, clenched his fists and started fighting with [Aikawa Hajime] with boxing.

He had not yet gotten used to the power of the Woodpecker Undead, but he was already familiar with the characteristics of the Lion Undead.

"Looks like this, you're even more like the Lion Undead Beast than the Lion Undead Beast itself."

[Aikawa Hajime] This time he didn't use many small movements and started to raise his hands to parry, but he still had a lot of strength to spare, which made Arai extremely annoyed.

"Shut up! What the hell are you!?"

"Who knows? I've asked myself this question before, but..."

[Aikawa Hajime] kicked Arai away with his foot, raised the bow blade in his hand, hooked his finger, and two cards flew out from his belt.

“That’s a boring question.”

[Aikawa Hajime] swept the two cards through the bow blade one by one, and the cards turned into energy and poured into the armor.

【Spinning Attack——】

A hurricane blew, and [Aikawa Hajime] took a step forward, and just as he was about to jump up from Arai, he turned around and ran.

[Aikawa Hajime] loosened his fingers and lowered his arm, but that didn't mean he let Arai go.

It was simply that Arai was already dead, so there was no need for him to take action.

"Ha——As long as I collect more golden fruits! I will definitely——"

A slash from the sky split Arai's fantasy in two, and dazzling sparks and blood spurted out.

"How can... this be - I am obviously the one..."

Arai raised his hand and wanted to leave, but a ferocious arm emerged from his back, with sharp claws holding two golden fruits.

"Long time no see, Chalice—"

Arai staggered a few steps, turned back into a human, and fell to the ground with a thud. The vulture undead beast raised its body and opened its arms towards [Aikawa Hajime].

"I knew you didn't give up the ultimate battle."

[Aikawa Hajime] looked at the Vulture Undead Beast without saying anything, but the Vulture Undead Beast seemed to have gotten used to it and was not surprised. Instead, it handed the blood-stained golden fruit in its hand to [Aikawa Hajime].

"I didn't expect that we would target the same prey. It's fate. Even if I didn't make a move, you would still be able to win. These two golden fruits belong to you."

"Arai?! Kawachi? Asami!!!"

A mournful cry sounded.

Mari Sonoda, who arrived late, screamed and wanted to come forward. Reid reached out and grabbed Mari Sonoda's wrist, pulled her back and hugged her. He put his left hand around Mari's waist and his right hand on the back of Mari Sonoda's head to prevent her from turning her head to look.

Reid frowned and stared at the situation in front of him.

The three people from Meteor Academy turned into corpses, while Vulture Immortal and Aikawa Hajime were standing. Judging from Vulture Immortal's actions, it seemed that he was planning to give the golden fruit to Aikawa Hajime.

No matter how you look at it, it was Hajime Aikawa and the Vulture Immortal who teamed up to hunt down the three members of Meteor Academy and stole the golden fruit.

But what really puzzled Red was the aura emanating from Aikawa Hajime.

"You...could it be, U?"

[Aikawa Hajime] raised his head and looked sideways at Red, and this action made Red confirm his guess.

This is the joker card in U's mouth that can replace any card.

And the person U replaced was himself.

"Human golden fruit holders? Chalice, are we going to deal with them here?"

The vulture undead beast clenched its hands, fully extended its claws, and pointed them in Reid's direction with great excitement.

"He looks strong, but... no one can be our opponent if it's just the two of us!"

"Chalice?" Reid was stunned.

"Red, the so-called joker, depending on the situation, can be the trump card that saves everything, or it can be the last bad card that crushes the defeat."

[Aikawa Hajime] raised his hand to block the vulture undead beast.

"Now, it has not been decided whether it is a trump card or a bad card."

After saying that, [Aikawa Hajime] put away the bow in his hand, turned around and walked away slowly. The vulture undead beast held the golden fruit, muttered a few words unwillingly, then turned around and followed [Aikawa Hajime] quickly.

"Chalice! Now the Spade Queen has been killed, and the one who killed him is the Heart Queen! It happens to be the suit of both of us."

"As long as the two of us work together, we will definitely be able to defeat them. Once we defeat Category K, we will definitely be able to have a showdown this time, just like we agreed ten thousand years ago!"

The Vulture Undead Beast was like a chatterbox, chattering non-stop, and he seemed to have long been accustomed to [Aikawa Hajime]'s indifference and neglect, so even if [Aikawa Hajime] ignored him, he did not feel lost.

"Uh, what on earth are you…"

Looking at the backs of [Aikawa Hajime] and the vulture undead beast, Reid pursed his lips, leaned over and hugged the sobbing Sonoda Mari tightly.

Chapter 1161 The Strongest Knight Belt

"Those two boys must have encountered something terrible before they died."

The autopsy officer shook his head and expressed his thoughts.

"I think they must have died to protect that girl, that's why they were such friends before they died."

Mari Sonoda lowered her head, clenched her hands tightly together, bit her lips and said nothing.

Seeing that Sonoda Mari looked sad, the autopsy officer awkwardly cast an inquiring look at Red.

Reid shook his head, "Thanks for the hard work."

The autopsy officer breathed a sigh of relief, saluted Reid, and immediately turned and left.

Soon, Red and Sonoda Mari were the only ones left in the morgue.

Reid scratched his face, raised his hand and hooked it around Sonoda Mari's shoulders. He said nothing and waited quietly for Sonoda Mari to speak.

After about ten minutes, Sonoda Mari loosened her fingers. "I actually... have always had this feeling and have been prepared. They will die. But, Red, are they prepared for that?"

"Did they decide to fight because they were prepared to die? Or... were they just hoping for a lucky break?"

Red didn't know how to answer this question, so he could only raise his hand and pinch Sonoda Mari's face, "Didn't you hear the doctor's speculation just now? They died to protect Mami, they must have had that realization."

Sonoda Mari tilted her head, feeling the warmth coming from Red's palm, closed her eyes and remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "Now is not the time to mourn their death. Let's go, Red, we are all in danger."

Seeing that Sonoda Mari recovered so quickly, Red not only did not feel happy, but instead felt heavy-hearted.

Collapse and pain are the normal reactions of a normal person, but a normal person will never get used to the death of a friend. A normal person... will only become numb to death.

"I know - let's go!"

The deaths of Arai, Kawachi, and Ito Asami made Sonoda Mari once again clearly realize the danger of the Undead Beast Golden Fruit.

Mari Sonoda stopped caring about anything else and informed every member of Meteor Academy about the attack by the Vulture Undead Beast.

And among them was Masato Kusaka.

Looking at the text message displayed on the mobile phone, Kusaga Masato's brows gradually frowned.

"What's wrong, Masato~"

Mikusa Kayato frowned, and Yoshinaga Miyuki, who was tasting the wine, raised her eyebrows curiously.

"The Vulture Undead Beast, Spade Type J is targeting us. Three of our companions have already died at his hands."

"Hmm? Ah~ That's normal. He should have realized that Spade Category Q died in my hands. If he wants to complete his evolution, the power of Category Q is necessary. In order to gain more combat power, he will definitely collect more golden fruits of lower-level undead beasts," Yoshinaga Miyuki thought for a while and shook her head slightly.

"You and your companions, as humans, hold the golden fruit of the undead beast. For the vulture, this is the most delicious prey."

Seeing Yoshinaga Miyuki's indifferent and even spectating expression, Kusaka Masato immediately said in a low voice, "Aren't you going to help?!"

Yoshinaga Miyuki paused her wrist and turned her head to look at Soka Masato. The strange silence reminded Soka Masato of something.

Now, Yoshinaga Miyuki has come into contact with [S·L], and with the information that Daido Katsuki cannot use the Eternal Gaia memory, she has become a guest of the museum.

Now Yoshinaga Miyuki no longer needs him, Soka Masato, as the middleman.

As an immortal beast, Miyuki Yoshinaga wants all the immortal beast golden fruits, and their Meteor Academy is also Miyuki Yoshinaga's target.

Kusaga Masato's eyes gradually became colder and he responded with silence.

Yoshinaga Miyuki's expression relaxed instantly and she broke the tense atmosphere with a chuckle.

"Don't make that expression. I'm just thinking of a countermeasure. The vulture undead beast is not as easy to deal with as you think."

"Really?" Masato Soka looked at his phone again. Because of Sonoda Mari's message, the other Meteoric Academy members became agitated and were confirming the situation with him one by one.

"Of course, Chalice has also started to move. As a Category A, his strength is no less than those of the higher-level Undead Beasts. Moreover, Vulture Undead Beast regards Chalice as a good friend, so he will definitely join forces with Chalice."

"One is a heart and the other is a spade. I am their target. My situation is even worse than your friends."

Yoshinaga Miyuki held her cheek and sighed in a weak manner, but she also knew that Kusaka Masato would not buy it, so she just smiled for a while and then returned to her previous state.

"Why don't you just hand over the golden fruit in your hand to me? As long as you don't have the golden fruit in your hand, that Vulture guy will have no reason to continue attacking you."

"Then, will we go back to being at the mercy of others?" Kusaga Masato clenched his fists, remembering Reid's appearance. "Don't be ridiculous! This is the power to change our destiny!"

"Really? Your fate has indeed changed. Originally, your good friends would not die so soon," Yoshinaga Miyuki, who knew from the beginning that Masato Soka would not hand over the golden fruit, shrugged her shoulders and was not too disappointed.

To her, Kusaga Masato was no longer of any use.

With the support of Gaia's memory, she is confident that she can defeat all undead beasts below Category K head-on, but she does not intend to fight against Category K beasts.
