At the same time, within the area designated as the 20th Ward.
Under the cover of night, a girl named Touka sprinted across the rooftops, her eyes scanning the surroundings from time to time.
Although she was no longer a Ghoul, her instincts as one remained, making her particularly sensitive to the smell of blood, especially human blood.
“Found you!”
Stopping on a rooftop, Touka leaped down and fixed her gaze forward.
In front of her was an abandoned building, and beneath it lay several corpses, with a purple-haired beauty feasting away.
“Hm?”
Seeming to notice someone, Kamishiro Rize stopped eating.
Upon seeing Touka, she sneered with disdain:
“What?
Is Anteiku still not giving up, sending someone to try and drive me out?”
“But why aren’t you wearing a mask like your companions?”
“We’ve said it before: Ghouls who eat humans are not welcome here.
Why eat humans when there is edible human food available?”
Touka looked at the corpses on the ground, her eyes filled with disgust.
“Why?
Isn’t it only natural for Ghouls to eat humans?
Why is it that humans are allowed to kill us, but we aren’t allowed to eat them?
You don’t eat humans yourselves, yet you’re trying to police me?”
Kamishiro Rize grew more and more furious as she spoke, her four Rinkaku lashing against the ground to vent her dissatisfaction.
“In that case, there’s no need for further talk.”
Touka grabbed the purple gem she wore under her clothes and softly shouted: “Transform!”
Enveloped in light, her waiter uniform changed into a black and white dress, her shoes turned into small black leather shoes, and a pair of dazzling, translucent wings extended from her back.
Kamishiro Rize was stunned by Touka’s transformation, her pair of red Kakugan trembling uncontrollably.
“Just because you changed clothes, you dare to talk big?
Go to hell!”
As the voice fell, Kamishiro Rize leaped into the air, and her four Kagune slammed down toward Touka.
Boom!
Dust kicked up.
Although Kamishiro Rize could feel her Kagune hit something solid, she didn’t smile, because it felt as if she had slammed into steel.
When the dust settled, it was Touka’s pair of wings that had blocked the attack, shielding her from the front.
“A Kakuja?
No!
That’s impossible!
Kamishiro Rize was no stranger to Ukaku, but she had never seen such an extremely gorgeous Ukaku before; even a Kakuja’s Ukaku didn’t look like this.
“Fool.”
After cursing, Touka moved.
Kamishiro Rize could only see a streak of light flashing by, her Kakugan constantly scanning the surroundings, trying to find Touka’s figure.
While she was still observing, Kamishiro Rize was sent flying backward uncontrollably, rolling repeatedly on the ground before finally crashing into a pillar of the abandoned building, creating a large crater.
Kamishiro Rize fell from it, collapsed on the ground, and blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.
“Cough, cough…
When?”
She hadn’t even been able to see the opponent’s movement trajectory!
Touka was seen standing where Kamishiro Rize had been, maintaining a punching stance.
“No, that’s not right!”
Kamishiro Rize used her four Kagune to support herself as she stood up, pointing at Touka and saying:
“Where is your Kakugan?”
Logically, in a combat state, a Ghoul cannot suppress the RC cells in their body, and the Kakugan would inevitably be exposed.
Yet, from the beginning of the fight until now, Touka’s eyes remained human pupils.
“There’s no need to explain it to you.”
Touka did not answer Kamishiro Rize.
Instead, under Kamishiro Rize’s horrified gaze, Touka flew up.
It wasn’t the kind of short-term flight relying on the thrust of a Ghoul’s Ukaku, but true levitation in mid-air.
That pair of gorgeous wings extended to five meters, with individual light-particle feathers clearly visible.
The next second, hundreds of crystal-clear feathers turned into arrows and swooped down toward Kamishiro Rize.
Kamishiro Rize had nowhere to hide, so she blocked in front of herself with her four Rinkaku to withstand the barrage of these feathers.
Although they were called feathers, they were actually crystals made of magic, with toughness and sharpness far exceeding her former Ukaku.
Puchi~ Puchi~
A series of crystals pierced through the Rinkaku and into Kamishiro Rize’s body, the intense pain making her unable to help but scream.
“Why can’t I block them?!”
Realizing she couldn’t block these crystals, Kamishiro Rize gave up on defense, her four tattered Rinkaku whipping at the crystals.
Just from one hundred crystal feathers, Kamishiro Rize was already covered in wounds, and her Rinkaku were left in tatters.
“You can’t even block this simple attack?”
“I overestimated you and underestimated myself.”
Touka herself hadn’t expected that Kamishiro Rize would be nearly beaten to death by just a simple wave of probing attacks?
If it were the her from before, when she was still a Ghoul, it would have been impossible to beat Kamishiro Rize like this.
“Just a simple attack?
You!
You!!!”
She really could kill her?
Kamishiro Rize’s Rinkaku retracted, and she began to flee at high speed with the help of her Rinkaku.
As long as she could escape this place, as long as she could escape this place!
Kamishiro Rize had absolutely no courage left to continue facing Touka; she only hoped the other party wouldn’t chase after her.
Puchi!
Several sounds of breaking air from behind and the noise of breaking the sound barrier shattered Kamishiro Rize’s fantasy.
A fifty-centimeter-long crystal accurately blasted and pierced through Kamishiro Rize’s thigh.
After letting out a shrill scream, Kamishiro Rize fell to the ground due to the intense pain.
“My, my leg!!!”
Kamishiro Rize’s Rinkaku helped her pull out the crystal feather that had pierced her thigh.
A dark shadow appeared in her line of sight, growing larger and larger, and then it crashed down onto Kamishiro Rize.
Boom!
The ground beneath Kamishiro Rize shattered like spiderwebs.
Touka stepped on Kamishiro Rize, a long spear appearing in her hand.
Unlike the wings made of magic, this bright red long spear was a weapon that belonged to her, seemingly to remind her not to forget the past, somewhat similar to the Quinque used by the CCG.
With only one breath left, Kamishiro Rize tremblingly raised her hand and said with her final breath:
“P-please, let, let me go, I, I really was wrong…”
Touka didn’t give her a chance at all and pierced Kamishiro Rize’s throat with the long spear in her hand.
Kamishiro Rize’s hand hung down powerlessly, the color faded from her eyes, and her head tilted to one side.
“Someone like you won’t know you’re wrong; you’re just saying that because you’re about to die.”
Anteiku had given Kamishiro Rize a chance, but she hadn’t listened, so she couldn’t blame her for killing her.
After confirming that Kamishiro Rize was completely dead, Touka lifted her corpse with one hand and used her ability to fly high in the air.
Irimi Kaya and Koma Enji, who had managed to follow and observe from the shadows, were both stunned.
The Glutton, whose strength was similar to theirs, was just killed by Touka like she was a stray dog on the side of the road?
Could the Manager do what Touka did and kill Kamishiro Rize?
After this night, the news of Kamishiro Rize’s death inevitably reached the ears of various Ghoul organizations.
However, that was a matter for two days later; it wasn’t important to the current Touka.
Seeing the corpse of Kamishiro Rize that Touka brought back, Yoshimura was silent for a long time before sighing:
“Find a place and bury her.”
This was the last kindness Yoshimura could offer.
While Touka was preparing to bury Kamishiro Rize, Irimi Kaya and Koma Enji returned ten minutes later.
They told Yoshimura what they had seen, and upon learning this, Yoshimura had a concept of Touka’s strength:
“Touka-chan’s current strength is already enough to change the existing situation; we need to make plans for the future.”
Kamishiro Rize was no longer important; what was important was Touka.
On the night Touka killed Kamishiro Rize, Kyubey became Satou’s pillow again.
He had an idea about how to make Satou consume magic and become corrupted.
