Chapter 38: Enemy

"How unfortunate, I thought I almost got another treasure case."

Su Xiao's long sword tapped on the ground, his naked upper body stained with blood.

It was the blood of the great beauty Rize. When he cut open her belly, she spurted a lot of blood.

"Ayato, stop. You guys, take Kamishiro Rize and leave."

Takatsuki Sen looked at Su Xiao seriously.

Tatara's eyebrows wrinkled.

"Is it necessary?"

Tatara's voice was low. In the Aogiri Tree, he was one of the few people who knew Takatsuki Sen's true identity.

"It is. This human being is a monster."

Takatsuki Sen took off her shirt, showing she was wrapped in bandages underneath. She got ready to fight Su Xiao seriously.

"Understood. Ayato, Noroi, let's go."

Tatara was no longer hesitant. Because Kirishima Ayato was there, Takatsuki Sen didn't want to reveal her true appearance.

As for Noroi, he also knew Takatsuki Sen's identity. He was after all the foster father of Takatsuki Sen.

"Hey, are we just gonna escape like this? This guy killed Gecko."

Kirishima Ayato, who was in pain, was very unhappy, as Su Xiao had almost killed him just now.

Tatara did not speak, he just silently looked at Kirishima Ayato. Ayato, who felt that there was something wrong, finally snorted and turned his head away.

"Crunch!"

The sound of the glass breaking rang loudly in the tense moment, and everyone looked over to find the source. It was Rize who had chosen to break a window and escape after she managed to recover a bit.

It was a dozen meters to the ground, and Rize was forced to choose to jump off the building.

Although she would not die if she was caught by Aogiri Tree, it would not be good for her, and if she stayed here, she would be killed by Su Xiao. As such, Rize chose to jump off the building.

"Boom."

There was a loud noise from the ground floor, and a car alarm went off.

Su Xiao, no longer caring about these few people in front of him, quickly ran to the window. He saw Kamishiro Rize hurrying away with a broken leg.

Kamishiro Rize had jumped down and escaped even with her injuries.

Escaped, the prey had escaped!

The smile on Su Xiao's face gradually disappeared, and the handle of the [Dragon Flash] in his hand squeaked as his grip tightened.

"We seem to have… angered this guy."

Kirishima Ayato did not know why he felt a chill in his heart, still, he subconsciously retreated, but the pain in his calf caused a large drop of cold sweat to appear on his forehead.

Su Xiao looked coldly at the few people there, blue veins bulging on his forehead.

Even if he without killing Kamishiro Rize, if he could just get her Kagune, he would definitely get a generous reward.

But after Aogiri Tree showed themselves, the reward he wanted to get just 'jumped out of the window'.

"She escaped, so you are going to replace her, Eto Yoshimura!"

After Su Xiao said the name of Eto Yoshimura, the three faces on the scene changed, only Kirishima Ayato was confused. He heard the name for the first time.

"Take him away."

Takatsuki Sen's voice was a bit cold, no longer her previous childlike voice.

The Kagune behind Noroi violently rose, and the sharp teeth on the Kagune gripped Kirishima Ayato.

"Noroi, what are you doing, let go."

Kirishima Ayato had struggled a few times, but the power gap was too large, he could not escape.

Noroi jumped out of the floor-to-ceiling window that had been smashed by Rize. It seemed like he was going to chase after her.

"Do you need help?"

Tatara was somewhat afraid of Su Xiao's strength. After all, such a powerful pure human being was a first for him.

The sense of smell of ghouls was very sharp, even better than most animals.

Through the smell of Su Xiao made Tatara judge that Su Xiao was pure human, the purity surprised him a lot.

Ordinary humans in the ghoul world all had a small amount of Rc cells in their bodies, and ghouls judged whether a person was human or not by the density of their Rc cells.

But Su Xiao had no Rc cells, none at all.

"No, you go chase Kamishiro Rize, she is very important to me. Among the selected targets, she is the most 'excellent.'"

After Kirishima Ayato was forcibly taken away, Takatsuki Sen no longer concealed her true voice.

"CCG is coming and the people below can't stop them for long. Let's hurry this up."

Tatara jumped out of the window, leaving only Su Xiao and Takatsuki Sen in the room.

"Who are you and how do you know my real name?"

Although Takatsuki Sen was 25 years old, she was pretty short, only about one meter and a half tall.

Takatsuki Sen's Kagune became active. As the One-Eyed King, she had 10 Kagune in her body.

With the appearance of her Kagune, the bandages on Takatsuki Sen's body loosened, especially the bandages over the two hills on her chest, revealing a large amount of delicate skin, her breasts were completely exposed.

Takatsuki Sen didn't care about that at all, she just looked at Su Xiao intently.

"Byakuya."

Su Xiao's brief answer stunned Takatsuki Sen.

"What?"

Su Xiao did not speak anymore. He was ready to fight.

A large number of Kagune appeared from Takatsuki Sen's body, enveloping her. Soon, Su Xiao could not see Takatsuki Sen's body at all.

In front of Su Xiao, there was a monster at least two meter high. It had two white arms with claws reaching to the ground. On its back was flower-like, thorny thing formed by Kagune. It probably had a really strong offensive power.

At this time, the appearance of Takatsuki Sen was not that of a common ghoul, her current form was her Kakuja.

Kakuja was different from common ghouls. To transform into a Kakuja, the ghoul needed to cannibalize repeatedly.

Su Xiao could not even start to guess how many powerful ghouls Takatsuki Sen must have swallowed to gain this appearance.

"Ha~."

Takatsuki Sen, in her Kakuja form, opened her mouth and breathed out red mist.

"Hahahaha, I have never seen a pure human being like you, you must be very delicious."

Takatsuki Sen's temperament changed a lot, and her tone was a little crazed.

The mental state of Kakuja was generally unstable. After their bodies were flooded by a large number of Rc cells, their brains will get affected by them.

Although Takatsuki Sen had been able to control her emotions very well, her character had been rather outgoing.

Su Xiao became vigilant, if the pressure Takatsuki Sen gave him was a 5 before, it was at least around 13 or so by now.

Su Xiao sighed and calmed down, he could not be affected by anger or hesitation when fighting.

"She became a lot stronger and her personality changed a lot."

Su Xiao did not directly rush towards her, but moved sideways instead, to circle around Takatsuki Sen.

While he was circling around her, she turned her body to keep facing him all the time.

Su Xiao moved slightly toward her, and Takatsuki Sen's claws were immediately lifted up and ready to face him.

But Su Xiao did not continue to move towards her, his body that had been rushing at her suddenly stopped, it had been a feint, he continued to wait for an opportunity.

Takatsuki Sen started growing impatient. After screaming, her claws rushed to Su Xiao.

Her speed as a Kakuja wasn't that fast, but she was extremely strong and seemed like an armored car.

Strong winds were blowing toward his face.

After rushing to Su Xiao, Takatsuki Sen stood up, one hand stretched to try to grab his head.

Su Xiao's dodged to the side, the claws grazed his ear, and the accompanying strong wind blew his black hair.

Su Xiao just escaped Takatsuki Sen's claws, but a Kagune like a sword on his opponent's shoulder came close to hit him.

Under these circumstance, Su Xiao chose to fight back.

Holding his sword in both hands, Su Xiao smashed at the Kagune.

"Tzuuu."

A loud noise echoed, the tiles under the feet of the two shattered and dust rose.

The huge force caused Su Xiao's expression to change, but the next situation surprised him a little.

The blue light on the surface of [Dragon Flash] flashed and the energy converted by Azure Steel Shadow poured into Takatsuki Sen's body.

Takatsuki Sen flinched and subconsciously retreated.

This kind of opportunity, Su Xiao would certainly not miss it. His hand moved and Takatsuki Sen's clawed hand was cut off.

The claw that she used to support her body was cut off, and her body swayed to the side.

Su Xiao slashed again, this time towards the back of Takatsuki Sen. A large piece of Kagune was slashed apart and turned into debris.

The fragments of Kagune, which shined with red light, were particularly beautiful in midair.

Being hit this badly, Takatsuki Sen was very angry. She endured the pain of the burning Rc cells and used her remaining hand to hit Su Xiao's abdomen.

Su Xiao dodged immediately, but was too slow. Several deep claw marks appeared on his lower abdomen and his blood dripped on the ground.

His reaction had been very fast, if he hadn't moved immediately, the claw would have pulled out his intestines.

"Huff, huff."

Takatsuki Sen supported her body with her one remaining hand. The man, who called himself Byakuya, gave her a weird feeling.

She could not continue fighting. She was at a disadvantage because of the sudden pain in her body.

Takatsuki Sen ran to the window. Su Xiao was not be willing to give up though, his left hand was on his abdomen and his right held his sword as he rushed toward her.

Takatsuki Sen jumped out of the building.

Su Xiao's footsteps stopped, he held the sharp sword and stood by the window, looking coldly at Takatsuki Sen.

Takatsuki Sen turned her head midair, the head of her Kagune split open a bit, revealing half of her white face.

Takatsuki Sen was actually smiling at Su Xiao.

Su Xiao did not jump after her, although his strength and agility were very high, his physical strength was not enough. If he jumped from a height of more than ten meters, although he might not die, his legs will inevitably be injured.

Today, there were too many ghouls from the Aogiri Tree around and the terrain was not good for Su Xiao. He could not slay Takatsuki Sen.

Just as Su Xiao had temporarily given up and was about to leave, he saw a man in a suit carrying a metal box in his hand standing in the short distance.

The suit man's mouth was slightly open as he was watching him.

"Amon Koutarou?"

The scene of Su Xiao chasing after the one-eyed king was coincidently caught by the eyes of Koutarou.

He was completely stunned.
