Zheng!
The longsword cleared its scabbard.
Pfft-chist!
Blood erupted like a geyser.
Thud, thud, thud!
Severed heads rolled across the floor.
Swing, sheathe.
Kenji swept a calm glance across his surroundings.
On the entire ground floor, with him as the epicenter, every single ghoul within a ten-meter radius had been cleanly decapitated in a single, fluid arc.
In an instant, fresh blood painted the amphitheater ceiling before raining down on the stands like a thick, crimson drizzle.
The entire stadium plunged into a dead, suffocating silence!
”Tsk, tsk.
Truly sorry about that.
Didn’t mean to interrupt your festivities.”
Kenji casually unclasped his blood-drenched hooded cloak and tossed it aside, a serene smile resting on his lips.
Stepping over to a headless corpse that was somehow still standing, Kenji rooted through its pockets and pulled out a crumpled, generic cigarette pack.
From it, he extracted a single cigarette that had snapped completely in half.
Fumbling through his own trousers, Kenji’s eyes lit up.
Fortunately, his lighter was still tucked safely inside his pockets, having successfully survived the transmigration process along with him.
Flick!
The flint sparked, and a tiny orange flame danced to life.
Kenji took a deep drag.
The broken half-cigarette ignited rapidly, the embers chewing through the paper toward his fingers.
”Not as good as a Liqun,” Kenji muttered indifferently, exhaling a long, dense plume of white smoke.
From the exact microsecond Kenji launched his sudden strike to the moment he lit up and took a drag, a mere ten seconds had elapsed.
And only now did the ghouls in the stadium finally snap out of their collective paralysis.
The sheer, explosive shock of Kenji’s display was simply too overwhelming.
Even an S-rate ghoul as seasoned and powerful as Big Madam, standing all the way up on the third floor, had failed to register the sequence in real-time.
This was the Ghoul Restaurant of District 7—her personal domain!
Who possessed the suicidal audacity to stage a massacre here?
Furthermore, looking closely at this intruder…
he was actually a pure-blooded human?!
”You bastard…
YOU’RE DEAD!!”
A furious, glass-shattering shriek erupted from the third-floor VIP balcony.
Big Madam slammed her hands violently against the marble railing, her usual high-society elegance completely evaporating into thin air.
The massive ripples of fat across her morbidly obese frame quivered with unchecked rage.
Her beloved pink top hat fell to the floor, exposing a chaotic mane of yellow hair.
Hearing the screech, Kenji tilted his head back and locked eyes with her.
His gaze was freezing cold, yet the mocking smirk on his face only grew wider.
”This guy…”
Meeting that gaze, the volcanic rage boiling within Big Madam instantly lost half its heat.
She ripped off her red designer glasses, her eyes snapping into a predatory crimson set against pitch-black sclera as a massive Bikaku violently erupted from her lower back.
As a top-tier predator governing District 7, her survival instincts were remarkably acute.
From Kenji’s seemingly relaxed posture, Big Madam felt a suffocating, lethal threat.
Visually, the man appeared entirely human and completely riddled with defensive openings. The source of this chapter is g.com.
Yet, every primitive nerve in her body was screaming a single word: Danger.
The other three S-rate ghouls standing near her on the balcony were also visibly hesitating.
Kenji showing up alone didn’t bother them; what terrified them was the possibility that a massive CCG vanguard was lurking right behind him.
As if sensing the hesitation of her associates, Big Madam snarled, “This bastard is entirely alone!
Let us swarm him together and tear him apart!
Kill him, and I will personally grant each of you a premium allocation of ten living humans!”
The astronomical bounty instantly hit its mark.
The S-rate ghouls who had been quietly calculating an exit strategy froze in their tracks.
Exchanging a series of rapid glances, the trio instantly unified their intent.
This was Big Madam’s territory.
If an opportunity presented itself to slaughter this bizarre human anomaly, they would take it.
But the exact microsecond the tides turned, they would sprint for the exits!
As S-rate ghouls, they possessed a baseline tactical awareness.
Any human who possessed the sheer lunacy to infiltrate Big Madam’s stronghold alone and initiate a one-man slaughter was guaranteed to possess a terrifying trump card.
For all they knew, the CCG had already completely sealed the perimeter.
While the four S-rate ghouls on the third floor were busy telepathically coordinating their assault, Kenji had zero intention of granting them a grace period.
Lowering his center of gravity, he loaded explosive tension into his legs, pointing the tip of [Gilded Cloud] directly at Big Madam.
The next millisecond, Kenji’s body launched forward like a supersonic railgun projectile, tearing through the air with a violent whoosh as he shot straight toward the third floor.
Behind him, the reinforced concrete ground fractured into a dense, spiderweb pattern of deep craters.
”This bastard!
He’s too fast!”
Kenji’s explosive velocity caught all four S-rate monsters completely off guard.
Driven by panic, they violently unleashed their respective Kagune.
Two Bikaku, one Ukaku, and one Koukaku.
Big Madam’s Bikaku manifested as a massive, ash-black tail.
At a glance, it resembled a thick, armor-plated reptilian appendage.
True to her status, her operational reflexes were the sharpest among the four.
The instant she realized Kenji’s trajectory was locked onto her, she leaped onto the adjacent vertical wall, scaling the masonry with the terrifying agility of a massive gecko.
The remaining three S-rate ghouls attempted to scatter, but their reaction time was a critical half-step too slow.
The Ukaku ghoul among them actually froze in place, choosing to unfurl his blazing, wing-like Kagune to launch a desperate counterattack.
A massive barrage of crystallized, diamond-shaped crimson spikes rained down on Kenji at terminal velocity.
Kenji’s face remained entirely devoid of emotion.
[Gilded Cloud] transformed into a localized blur, tracing an invisible defensive web with a speed that transcended human sight, effortlessly deflecting every single incoming projectile into metallic sparks.
”What?!”
The Ukaku ghoul’s eyes widened to near-bursting, his mind completely fractured by the display.
Every cell in his body screamed at him to retreat.
Are you kidding me?!
What kind of monster is this?!
Escape!
I need to escape right now!
The Ukaku ghoul roared in panic, but before his muscles could even register the command to run, he realized Kenji was already standing directly behind him, staring down at him with a pair of dead, indifferent eyes.
When the hell did he get behind me?!
The sheer, physical weight of the pressure Kenji emitted was far too suffocating.
Is this creature…
truly a human?
Is this really the same weak, pathetic, and delicious livestock that usually cannot even muster the strength to beg for their lives before being eaten?
Their minds were still trapped in a state of cognitive dissonance, but Kenji wasn’t a tourist.
He didn’t stand still.
Swish!
In less than a single breath, Kenji’s silhouette flickered.
The white blade carved down.
The S-rate Ukaku ghoul seemed to completely forget how to defend himself; his head went flying high into the air, tracing a clean arc.
[Ding!
The host has killed an S-rate Ghoul!
Rewarded: 1x S-Grade First Kill Chest!
1x S-Grade Treasure Chest!
Obtained: 1% World Force!]
”This is an S-rate ghoul?
Why does it feel so incredibly weak?” Kenji muttered to himself.
He had initially anticipated that facing four S-rate opponents simultaneously would apply some baseline pressure, but slaughtering them felt no different than processing chickens.
In terms of sheer tactical irritation, they hadn’t even given him as much trouble as the starved C-rate ghoul he encountered on his first night.
”DIE, HUMAN!”
Right at that moment, Big Madam’s ash-black Bikaku shot forward like a ballistic missile from her vantage point on the wall, driving straight toward Kenji’s blind spot, aimed directly at his heart.
Kenji subtly shifted his weight, pivoting his torso to effortlessly let the piercing strike slide past his ribcage before swinging his blade in a counter-strike.
CLANG!
A sharp, metallic screech rang out as the edge of [Gilded Cloud] collided violently with the hardened Kagune, sending a cascade of bright friction-sparks erupting into the darkness.
Kenji raised an eyebrow at the baseline density of her tail.
But before he could follow up his strike, the remaining two S-rate ghouls synchronized their assault, charging him from opposite sides.
The second Bikaku ghoul unleashed twin, dark-crimson tentacles from his lower back, whipping them through the air like a pair of high-velocity sonic cables, closing in on Kenji from both the left and right flanks.
Concurrently, the Koukaku ghoul completely encased his upper torso in heavy, armor-plated kagune structure.
His right arm mutated into a massive, spiral lance pulsing with deep indigo and violet veins, its tip honed to a razor-sharp edge that gleamed with a terrifying, light-devouring luster.
This ghoul launched himself directly at Kenji’s front, thrusting his colossal arm-lance forward with enough force to completely compromise and lock down Kenji’s forward evasion vector.
Sensing the pincer movement, Big Madam immediately redirected her output.
Seeing her initial piercing strike fail, her massive ash-black tail coiled mid-air like a constrictor snake, violently wrapping around Kenji’s torso and pinning his arms to his sides, completely sealing his mobility.
”You’re nothing but a lowly human!
What gives you the right to look down on us?!”
Kenji was completely immobilized.
The traps were sprung.
The situation was lethal!
