Chapter 225: Killing Intent
“I say, this is a troublesome ability…”
The young girl emotionlessly looked at Kinoshita Tachibana, whose chest had been directly stabbed through by Little Black’s arm, and disdainfully touched the big hole in her clothes that was caused by his arm extending outwards from her body.
The Human Skin Cloak was fine, as it had an automatic repair ability and could return to its original state once it absorbed enough blood. However, the clothes Kazumi wore underneath had suffered. The cold big hole at her chest declared that everything from her inner wear to her outer coat was ruined.
As if sensing its owner’s disdain, the arm filled with teeth quickly threw the corpse it held away and retracted the extended arm back to its original position.
“You still want to come back? I don’t mind if you’re dirty, but I do! Get out!”
Little Black’s terrible actions further displeased the young girl, who directly scolded the ghoul for its suicidal behavior. Although the description of the ability suggested it shouldn’t be a big problem, retracting a blood-covered arm back into her body, who knew if it would cause bacterial infections within the body or something.
“Ugh—”
A low growl came from within the young girl’s body. The arm, which had been retracting into her body, awkwardly stopped in mid-air. Then, through the small hole that had just been created, first the arm, then the sharp, slender head, and finally, an entire disgusting humanoid creature drilled out in a way that defied the law of conservation of mass.
Sharp fangs, grayish-white skin, and lean yet distinct muscle lines. Just its human-like appearance made one’s scalp tingle, let alone the dense, sharp teeth covering its entire body except for the head.
But this monstrous creature, filled with chaotic and unnameable horrors, squatted obediently on the ground before her after emerging from the young girl’s body. Its terrifying head was lowered in a wronged manner, quietly listening to the scolding of the young girl, its owner.
“Alright, alright, don’t look at me with that wronged look. Hurry up and help your companion!”
Perhaps it was the all-around improvement after becoming an elite unit, but even Little Black, this ghoul, had its intelligence greatly enhanced. Compared to its dull appearance in the past, it had now learned to act wronged and please its owner in front of Kazumi.
Kazumi didn’t buy it, continuing to disdainfully kick Little Black on the ground, pointing at the ghoul fighting the man with glasses in the distance. But during the brief moment Little Black was acting coquettish with her, the man with glasses’s dagger flashed, severing the ghoul’s head.
“It should… still be alive, right…”
She awkwardly looked at the rolling head in the distance. After all, it seemed a bit too much to ask a ghoul to hold back a well-trained psychic. If it were Little Black, it would be different. But the elite unit Little Black had evolved into was definitely the last resort to protect her own safety.
Obeying the young girl’s instructions, Little Black immediately got up from the ground and roared as it charged towards the man with glasses in the distance.
“Tachibana… Captain!”
On the other side, the strongman also looked at his captain being thrown away like trash in the distance with despair. His originally large muscles seemed on the verge of bursting, and he forcefully threw the coffin in his hand to the side.
But a change occurred at that very moment. The Death Aura, which had only been emanating outwards, seemed to have received a summons. The skeletal aura rushed wildly towards the strongman’s face.
The strongman, whose breathing had already intensified due to exertion, clearly did not anticipate this move. Caught off guard, he suddenly inhaled a large mouthful of Death Aura. A disgusting sense of weakness instantly filled his entire body, and even the “Divine Art” on his body began to become unstable.
Kazumi’s attack was not that simple. Several large hands formed from Death Aura directly extended from inside the coffin, targeting the strongman who was embracing the Black Coffin with both arms.
The rotten weakness and the increased force of the Black Coffin caused the strongman to fall to his knees under the heavy Black Coffin. The accompanying several large hands directly bound his limbs, and a terrifying pulling force came from the other end of his arms. Without any chance to resist, the strongman was completely pulled into the dark, deep interior of the coffin, leaving only a few bloody imprints pressed against the sides of the coffin.
“The third one.”
The smile on her lips became more and more unrestrained. Kazumi watched all of this with a peculiar mood. A strange feeling slowly brewed in her heart, but the young girl’s inner self did not seem to dislike it.
This ability to hold others’ lives in her hands, to crush them like toys at any moment, this sense of control was truly intoxicating!
Compared to the strongman, the man with glasses was calmer. Upon realizing his teammate was in danger, he had already begun to consider retreating. However, Little Black, who followed closely, gave him no opportunity.
This humanoid monster, completely covered in sharp teeth, was much more difficult to deal with than the previous one. Even with his full power, it was difficult to break through its natural armor of teeth. Its obviously powerful strength and speed, coupled with its fearless fighting style, gave him no room for retreat. Kill it, or be killed by it, this was the current situation.
The battlefield behind them was equally perilous. The pressure brought by nearly a hundred Corpse Crows was terrifying. With the occasional attention from the two leader crows and Kazumi, the two with ranged attack capabilities were given no opportunities.
Although they had initially destroyed a good portion of the Corpse Crows with large-scale destructive spells, these intelligent crows seemed to have learned. The next time they attacked, they actually scattered directly. The result of consuming a large amount of spiritual energy was killing only a few insignificant Corpse Crows.
But as soon as they wanted to launch long-range attacks to support their teammates on the front lines, these crows would swarm them like attached maggots, attacking their vital points.
“The casualties are a bit heavy, but still within acceptable limits. As for the harvest, six psychic corpses should be quite profitable.”
Kazumi in the distance looked coldly at everything before her with her arms crossed. The Black Coffin, filled with death qi, had already been retrieved by the young girl and kept beside her as a safety measure for when Little Black left.
The battle situation before her was completely under her control. The defeat of these psychics was only a matter of time. The Death Aura beside her gathered again, and countless death qi spikes condensed around Kazumi. This time, the target of the young girl’s attack was the two witches in the distance, who were struggling to resist the siege of the Corpse Crows.
“Die.”
The icy lips uttered these two words emotionlessly. The spikes condensed from Death Aura, at the moment their protective spells shattered, shot directly towards the throats of the two girls.
The emotion called pleasure gathered in the young girl’s jet-black eyes. At this moment, Kazumi could envision the beautiful scene of blood splashing from the opponents’ tender necks.
“Arashi!”
But the next moment, a light green wind blade swept from the distance, directly blocking the young girl’s attack.
And the beautiful figure gradually appearing on the back of a large bird caused the young girl’s originally calm eyes to reveal undisguised killing intent!
