Knight Asylum

"boom--"

A fierce explosion shot up into the sky, and the golden fruit of the spade category Q emerged from it. Red immediately reached out and wanted to grab the golden fruit, but before his fingers touched it, the golden fruit suddenly made a sharp turn and turned into a golden light and shot towards the direction of the seaside prison.

“…No way!”

The moment Yoshinaga Miyuki was defeated, the stolen power returned to Kane and Takano.

Kane immediately burst out with powerful strength. He was so angry that he did not intend to use such a kind way as stopping time to kill [Aikawa Hajime] and Takano. He wanted to make Takano completely despair.

"Game time is over! I will show you the true power of Category K! You are nothing but food for K!"

Kane, feeling the Spade Q Gold Fruit getting closer, chopped Aikawa Hajime away with a sword, raised his head suddenly, and stretched out his right hand towards the golden light.

"Damn it—don't even think about it!"

Takano saw through Kane's purpose at a glance, but despite his injuries, he rushed forward and fought with Kane again. However, as both sides recovered their strength, the gap in their strength became even greater.

"Since you want to die so much, I'll give you a ride!"

Kane stabbed out with his sword, and Takano's hard armor shattered on the spot like paper, and the unicorn sword pierced through Takano's back with flesh and blood.

Takano's body suddenly paused, his hands hanging heavily at his sides.

"So I said..."

Just as Kane was about to laugh at him, Takano suddenly raised his head, and instead of retreating, he moved forward, letting the greatsword completely pass through his body, and came in front of Kane, stretching out his hands and grabbing Kane's body tightly.

"Chalice! Now!!! Do it!"

"J!? Damn it! Do you think you can defeat me with Chalice's ability!? I am a type--"

The green light illuminated Kane's profile, and a crescent moon cut through his body.

Chapter 1172 Complete Fusion! The Power of Thirteen Undead Beasts

The light shone through the clouds onto his black and green body.

It is neither a human nor a Category A. It is a special undead beast that does not belong to any race.

"Damn it--Joker...how dare you--"

Kane loosened his fingers and staggered back a few steps. He raised his hand and pointed at [Aikawa Hajime], as if he wanted to say something, but [Aikawa Hajime] didn't give him the chance to finish. He turned his wrist and swung the sickle on his arm upwards. A black-green blade of light blasted out and passed through Kane's body. With Kane's body as the center, a vortex opened up and completely absorbed Kane's body. Two cards fell from it and flew into Aikawa Hajime's hands.

The flying Spade Q-type golden fruit froze in mid-air, paused for a short time, and then turned back. But before it could fly out, Takano jumped up and grabbed the golden fruit.

"Ahem - it hurts so much -"

Takano spat out a large mouthful of blood, clutched the Q-category golden fruit, staggered back several steps, leaned against the wall, and sat down little by little. His body was gradually shrouded in shadow. Looking at [Aikawa Hajime] standing in the sun, Takano laughed.

"It's actually true. I didn't expect that... you can even control Joker's body. You are worthy of being my friend. But ahem - it looks like I can't fulfill my promise."

As he spoke, Takano spat out several mouthfuls of blood, raised his hand shakily, and handed the Q-category golden fruit to [Aikawa Hajime].

"this is for you."

[Aikawa Hajime] did not take the golden fruit, but changed from Joker back to Aikawa Hajime and said slowly, "It was not me who sealed you ten thousand years ago."

Gao Ye was stunned and smiled helplessly, "What? Even you think I would care about that kind of thing? Chalice, you will definitely win, so take it——"

[Aikawa Hajime] reached out and grasped the golden fruit of the spade category Q in Takano's hand. At the same time, a figure dropped from the sky and landed heavily on the ground.

"U!?"

Looking at the familiar figure, Reid couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Are you here already? You're still as fast as ever, but you're a little late this time."

Aikawa Hajime, or U, let out a long breath and looked sideways at Red, and Red also saw Takano who had lost his life in front of U.

Reid was stunned, "What about Category K?"

"I have sealed him. What I want to tell you is what happened next. Ten thousand years ago, I won. I won in the most perfect way I imagined," U opened his mouth and took a bite of the golden fruit of category Q.

"As a human immortal, I know better than anyone that the human race has no right to survive or continue."

"Do you know why?"

"It's too weak. There's no possibility of it becoming stronger. Not to mention other undead beasts, it can't even beat ordinary wild beasts. So I made a hypothesis."

"That is to get the body of the most likely undead beast, and this undead beast is Joker, the strongest undead beast that can transform into any undead beast, and it happens to have no soul. I used its body to win in the end and become the winner of the Extreme Battle, and then..."

"I won the attention of God, realized my wish, Joker's possibility, human soul, and the perfect race called human were born."

"But... Joker is a chaotic beast, and its animal form has become a part of humanity. Even after ten thousand years, the desire for struggle it brings has never been worn away."

"Man is still a beast."

After swallowing the last bite of the Q-category golden fruit, U looked up at the sky.

"You should have heard those recordings. Even if I tell you now that I want to destroy humanity... you shouldn't be surprised."

Red loosened his fingers, "Maybe... you are really the only human in this world who is qualified to deny humanity, but..."

Red exhaled and raised his hand to point at U.

"I'm sorry, monster and knight, but I've made my choice, and until now, I have never regretted it."

U tilted his head to look at Takano, whose body was gradually dissipating. He held up the card of category K and swiped it downwards. In the light, he transformed into the appearance of the undead beast of the Caucasian giant beetle. "Yes, I haven't regretted it either. It's just that I may be a little confused."

With U as the center, golden ripples blasted out, Takano's body completely dissipated, and several golden fruits flew out from it. At the same time, a ray of light flew from afar, and thirteen golden fruits rose up and completely merged into one in front of U.

The body of the original Class K began to shrink, and the strong body turned into metal armor, and the metal reliefs of thirteen undead beasts appeared from it.

Reid knew that unlike the chimera that Yoshinaga Miyuki had turned into, what U showed was the true form that had evolved completely by absorbing the characteristics of thirteen undead beasts with the power of Category K.

As the heavy heartbeat sounded, Red felt a surge of manic fighting desire in his heart. The power of Helheim Forest, which was suppressed by the unified lock, seemed to have encountered some threat and began to become restless again.

【enemy】

[That is an enemy that we absolutely cannot coexist with]

"U--what are you planning to do?" Red covered his head and took a few steps back.

"Now, is this really the time to ask this?"

As soon as U finished speaking, Red keenly heard a scream. It was the voice of Mari Sonoda.

Reid swung his fist downwards, punching through the ceiling and rushing down, reaching the ground floor at the fastest speed. He saw the situation clearly. At this moment, Mari Sonoda was being strangled by the neck by an undead beast and pressed to the ground. The undead beast had opened its mouth and looked like it was going to bite him.

"truth!"

Seeing Red appear, Sonoda Mari also stretched out her right hand towards Red, but she did not call for help, but to stop Red from punching, "Red! Save Rina!"

Reid's pupils shrank and he immediately retracted his fist and raised his arm to block Mari Sonoda.

Abe Rina bit down, but although she didn't bite through the armor, she didn't show any intention of letting go.

Red leaned over and picked up Sonoda Mari. Looking at the bruised and battered Sonoda Mari, Red pursed his lips and smiled bitterly, "Sorry, I'm late."

"Red, I'm sorry... I can't save you all," Sonoda Mari curled up and buried her face in Red's chest, her body trembling slightly, "All I can do is believe, believe that you are just controlled by the Undead Beast Golden Fruit... believe that you can come back..."

Red raised his head and exhaled, then hugged Sonoda Mari with his left hand and stepped sideways towards the depths of the seaside prison. There, there was only the roar of beasts. Seeing that Red was actually planning to take Sonoda Mari back with him, Masato Kusaga, who was fighting with Sawada, roared in fear.

"What are you doing! There are only monsters in there!"

"I believe in the truth."

Chapter 1173 I Want to Take Everyone Away

In the dirty, dark, hell-like prison, the members of Meteoric Academy, who have completely transformed into undead beasts, no longer have any rationality and swing their claws at each other, just to tear apart each other who were once family members.

【Hahaha--】

[It was already like a monster, and now it really is like a monster]

How can there be such a person?

[Keep biting, keep biting! ]

With the help of future technology, the live broadcast room that cannot be closed has spread this brutal, cruel and desperate fight to every corner of the world.

They knew that they were all human beings, but they were also evil beasts, ugly and ferocious from the inside out.

They felt from the bottom of their hearts that they were not of the same race as those evil beasts, so they laughed and cursed wantonly in the name of justice, with no sympathy in their hearts, only contempt and disgust, and all of these, under the guidance of the Desire Grand Prix Network, rushed towards the golden fruit of the human undead beast.

The golden fruit, which already exuded a fierce aura, became more turbid and real under the nourishment of malice. Under the golden fruit, the devil's golden fruit, which was cultivated by the evil vines grafted with the plants of the Helheim Forest, and the remains of Kif and many devil seals, also beat like a heart. It seemed that some kind of connection was established between them, and they were getting closer and closer to each other.

Seeing this, the Akaashi Hero breathed a sigh of relief, "Although a quarter of my truth has been taken away, but... it doesn't matter. As long as I complete this golden fruit, it will be enough!"

Behind the Akaashi hero, Ortega stared at the devil's golden fruit, and his arms around his body gradually tightened.

"Hey - what are you going to do?"

The woman's voice stopped Red in his tracks. After a brief pause, Red turned his head and saw Cheng Guang standing in the shadows with his hands in his pockets.

"Are you here hunting?"

Chengguang was stunned at first, then he clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction, and his eyes fell on Abe Rina who was still biting Red's arm tightly, "Don't joke, I won't get involved in such things, and you should also... give up that idea."

"Thought...what do you mean?"

"They have completely lost themselves in the desire to fight with the undead beasts. The only thought left in their minds is to fight. As long as they are alive, they will not stop. You have only one choice, which is to kill them." Cheng Guang narrowed his eyes slowly, "So, I advise you to give up the childish idea of ​​knocking them out. You can't take all of them away from here."

"You can't take away people who don't want to leave."

"It's not that they don't want to leave, it's just that... they can't leave."

"Does it make any difference?" Cheng Guang lowered his head and raised his voice.

Red opened his right hand and pulled out the Unified Lock. The armors that restricted the power of the Helheim Forest came out one by one, and the Katsumi Lock became active. The already gorgeous armors began to shake and intertwine. The members of Meteor Academy who were fighting each other stopped their actions at the same time, and looked in Red's direction very slowly, with a dazzling red light bursting out of their turbid eyes.

"I am one of them, so I can take them away."

The members of Meteor Academy who had been transformed into undead beasts roared with unprecedented ferocity at this moment. They stopped fighting each other and rushed straight towards Reid. Rina Abe also shook her head even more ferociously, trying to tear off Reid's flesh and blood.

Reid stood where he was, neither dodging nor evading, but simply raised his right hand to protect Mari Sonoda in his arms.

The members of Meteor Academy opened their mouths mercilessly under the influence of the undead beasts' fighting desire. Some bit Red's shoulders, and some bit Red's thighs. They were like evil saw teeth, tearing Red's body madly, trying to tear Red into pieces.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! It's all your fault! It's all your fault!"

Masato Kusaka rode on Sawada's waist and punched down again and again, with blood and flesh splattering everywhere.

Sawada had died long ago, and Montana was not lying, this was indeed the strongest belt, and Sawada was no match at all, but Masato Kusaka felt extremely empty, and only by constantly swinging his fists could he find a little bit of reality through the feeling of impact.

"Damn it! Why...I can't! I just!"

Kusaga Masato roared, clenched his fist, and threw a punch with all his strength. This would be his strongest punch, but this strongest punch froze in mid-air with a heavy sound. Furious gasps sounded, as if countless ferocious beasts were approaching.

Under the mask, Soga Masato's pupils shrank sharply and twisted extremely slowly. His eyes reflected a turbid body like some kind of chimera. His raised fist dropped little by little, and he bent his body little by little, allowing the other party to pass by.

"I just……"

"Red!"

Qiao arrived at the scene on a motorcycle. He took off his helmet and rushed over without even stopping the motorcycle. Just as he reached the gate, a pair of fierce eyes filled with murderous desire lit up, illuminating a huge, terrifying body that looked like a monster from hell. Even Qiao was frightened and took several steps back. The bodies of undead beasts emerged from the shadows. At this moment, Qiao also saw the true face of the [monster]. His pupils slowly dilated and he covered his mouth.

There is no monster. There is only a fool who uses his own body as bait and carries all the Meteor Academy members who have become beasts.

Reid struggled to stand straight, the gorgeous armor in his arms was full of cracks from the gnawing of the Meteor Academy members, but Sonoda Mari in his arms was safe and sound, curled up and sleeping soundly.

"Ah - coincidence, you're here - I brought everyone out, unexpectedly... it's very simple."

Red tilted his head and laughed softly.

Above the seaside prison, U looked down at all this, slowly loosened his fingers, and as he turned around, Aikawa Hajime separated from his body and fell heavily to the ground.

"This is……"

The burning pain from his hands made Aikawa Hajime frown involuntarily, but the moment he saw his hands, he was stunned.

He was bleeding, but the blood he was bleeding was... red.

"Aikawa Hajime, this was originally a backup identity I prepared for myself, but something unexpected happened. Joker's body sprouted a self, and you are that self, the redundant self—"

"But it doesn't matter anymore. I no longer need the identity of Aikawa Hajime. As compensation for taking away your body as Joker, I'll give you this name."

Aikawa Hajime slowly raised his head and met U's eyes.

"You in the end..."

"Joker is... a card that is meaningless unless it replaces someone or becomes someone," U turned around and walked away slowly.

"You are redundant. No matter who you become, it won't make any difference. So, feel free to worry about it."

"Before the world ends."
