“Shinigami?”
Jack widened his eyes and shrank into the corner in panic: “Y-Y-You are the Shinigami? Are you here to take away my Soul?”
In traditional U.S.
culture, the Shinigami should be a terrifying figure wearing a black robe, holding a huge scythe, and taking away the Souls of the dying to be punished in Hell.
On the contrary, Lord with pale silver hair, deep ocean-blue eyes, and a gentle smile that always hung on his lips.
No matter how one looked at it, he did not look like a Shinigami at all; instead, he looked more like an Angel, except without wings.
Lord couldn’t help but laugh and shook his head, saying, “Rest assured, I am not the kind of Shinigami you understand, nor will I take away your Soul.”
For some reason, seeing Lord’s gentle smile, Jack perhaps felt infected by it as his fear gradually subsided and his heart settled down a bit.
“Thank you for saving me.”
Jack said with great gratitude.
If it weren’t for this Mysterious Man making a move, he probably would have ended up just like Bob, becoming food in that monster’s mouth!
The mere thought of almost being cruelly eaten by that monster just now made Jack’s legs turn soft and his crotch a little wet.
“No need to thank me.”
Lord wore a gentle smile and said indifferently, “Can you still move? If so, hurry up and leave this place.”
“L-Leave?”
At first, Jack was still a bit puzzled, not having asked all the questions in his belly yet, but then he heard a terrifying roar!
Roar——
The roar was filled with thick malice, as if millions of Souls were wailing in pain.
Jack was so frightened that he hugged his head and cried, uncontrollably wetting his pants!
The moonlight was suddenly shrouded in shadows.
Jack subconsciously looked up and saw several white-masked monsters falling from the sky!
Boom, boom, boom.
The size of these white-masked monsters was about the same as the previous monkey monster, almost three to four stories high, and the styles and forms of their masks were all different.
“One, two, three… a total of six Hollows.”
Lord looked calm and said indifferently, “To think so many were born at once, it seems Hells Kitchen really is a great place to breed evil.”
Due to the lingering attachment of the dead to the Human World, or other obstructive factors, after years of grieving torture, or under artificial acceleration, they eventually fall and become a Hollow!
Coincidentally, Hells Kitchen met the conditions for the birth of Hollows!
What was least lacking here were grieving and angry spirits who died after suffering greatly, so the birth rate of Hollows was far higher than in other places!
“S-S-Six monsters?!”
Jack’s heart stopped, his face turned pale with fright, and a pool of urine flowed out from between his legs.
“Six of them?”
Lord wore a smile, showing no fear at all, and slowly walked toward the Hollows: “Save me the trouble of looking for you; I’ll just solve this all at once.”
Clang.
Lord slowly drew a blade from the scabbard hanging at his waist.
But when Jack saw that weapon, his eyes suddenly widened and his mouth dropped open in shock!
That is…
A katana?
No, no, that’s not right!
If it was said to be a blade, wasn’t it a bit too short in length?
But if it was said to be a dagger, it seemed a bit too long!
Although he had seen katanas on TV, Jack had never seen a katana so short, as long as a dagger!
However, is this kind of blade really useful?
Facing several terrifying monsters of huge size, did the man in front of him plan to fight with such a short weapon?
No, impossible!
What an absurd thing!
Jack couldn’t imagine how the man before him could kill those huge monsters with this ridiculous dagger!
One against six!
And using such a toy-like dagger and knife—no matter how he looked at it, Jack didn’t think this man could win!
But that man was different!
Clearly being at a disadvantage, he walked toward those monsters with full confidence, as if victory was already in his grasp!
A strange thing happened!
Facing the man walking over, those six huge monsters actually showed a look of fear at the same time and took a step back!
Yes!
They were fearing that man!
“I really didn’t expect this…”
Lord still wore a gentle smile and walked unhurriedly: “Clearly you are the ones with the numerical advantage, so many Hollows combined, yet you still fear me?”
Indeed, clearly possessing an overwhelming numerical advantage, they very truly felt the huge threat of Death gradually approaching!
One step…
three steps…
ten steps…
As the invisible Spiritual Pressure gradually climbed, Lord, who was small in their eyes, suddenly became like a towering mountain.
That heavy pressure made them almost kneel on the ground!
“Still not going to make a move?”
Lord came before the six Hollows and smiled indifferently: “If you don’t make a move now, you might not have the chance anymore.”
“Roar——”
As if stimulated by Death, the eyes of the six Hollows turned red, a tyrannical aura swept the surroundings, and they let out a heaven-shaking hiss!
Kill!
A shark bone-masked Hollow rushed out first, its two arms springing out sharp bony fins like two indestructible divine blades.
In an instant, it cut through the air and slashed toward Lord’s waist!
Swish!
The fin-shaped bone blade slashed horizontally, and wherever it passed, the air was cut like flowing water!
But Lord’s smile remained unchanged.
Unhurriedly, he lightly tapped the ground with his toes.
Clang~
Lord’s sole seemed to step on an invisible staircase, ascending several meters into the high air in a single step!
Boom——
The fin-shaped bone blade’s attack missed, instantly stirring up a violent current of Qi that split the hard concrete ground, kicking up a burst of dust and scattered gravel!
“Ahhhh—”
Jack didn’t have time to dodge; his thighs and shoulders were pierced by several flying gravels, and he couldn’t help but let out painful wails!
At the same time!
Seeing Lord easily dodge, another centipede-like Hollow rushed up!
“Roar——”
The mouthparts beneath the centipede Hollow’s mask had countless sharp teeth spinning at high speed like millstones, biting toward Lord in mid-air!
Lord tapped his toes again.
By a hair’s breadth, he dodged the attack once more!
“Roar——”
The remaining four Hollows no longer watched from the sidelines.
A tyrannical aura flashed in their crimson eyes as they rushed up together to surround and attack Lord!
However, under the bright moonlight and amidst the encirclement of numerous Hollows, Lord moved gracefully like a flying Dragon, as if dancing a dance on the tips of blades!
Watching from below, Jack felt his heart tremble with fear, and couldn’t help breaking out into a cold sweat for this mysterious man!
Too dangerous!
If there was even the slightest mistake, that man would be instantly torn to shreds by those monsters!
“Is this all you’ve got?”
While dodging the attacks, Lord still looked at ease: “It seems you are just the lowest-level Hollows.”
Clang!
Lord lightly stepped on the air, his entire body tracing an arc in the sky before landing on a street lamp.
Rustle~
His black kimono fluttered in the wind.
Lord stood with his back to the moonlight, and a cold, chilling light flashed through his crescent-shaped squinted eyes as he said, “Just right, you’re all lined up in a row, saving me the effort.”
As it turned out, while those six Hollows were surrounding and pursuing him, their positions had quietly been altered.
Looking from Lord’s direction, they happened to form a neat row!
Lord held the dagger-like short blade, slowly raising it to his chest with the tip pointing at them, and then said with a smile:
“Shoot Him, Kamishini no Yari!”
