Feeling the suffocating constraint wrapping around his torso, Kenji looked at the razor-sharp attacks converging on him from mere inches away.
His mind remained entirely undisturbed, his face as calm and impassive as a pool of stagnant water.
Seeing his frozen posture, the three ghouls mistakenly assumed Kenji had run out of options.
Smug, ecstatic leers instantly stretched across their faces.
”Die, you lowly human!”
Yet, in that exact microsecond, a crisp, sharp fracturing sound echoed in their ears.
Snap—
Kenji channeled the full, explosive capacity of his physical power.
The tightly packed muscle groups across his shoulders and back swelled into iron-like ridges, his skeletal structure popping and groaning beneath the astronomical output of force.
Big Madam, who was still clinging to the vertical masonry while anchoring Kenji with her Bikaku, suddenly felt a blinding, tearing agony erupt in her lower back.
Simultaneously, a cataclysmic pulling force traveled up her own Kagune, violently ripping her massive, bloated frame clean off the wall.
The sequence didn’t stop there.
The moment her body hit the floor, Big Madam felt a needle-sharp, agonizing pressure rip through her Bikaku, as if the heavy appendage were about to be torn completely in half.
Watching the geometry of the amphitheater violently recede around her, a wave of pure panic finally crashed into Big Madam’s mind.
Her hands clawed frantically at the floor, desperately trying to anchor herself to something, anything.
But it was entirely futile.
Aside from leaving ten deep, gouged trenches in the solid concrete, she had absolutely no leverage to counteract Kenji’s raw strength.
Perhaps these ghouls possessed remarkable combat velocity, but to Kenji’s hyper-attuned senses, their operational trajectories had been tracked and locked down long ago.
More importantly, his execution speed was infinitely faster!
BOOM!
Relying entirely on raw, unadulterated physical leverage, Kenji swung Big Madam’s morbidly obese frame through the air like a heavy wrecking ball, slamming her violently directly into the incoming Koukaku ghoul who was lunging from the front.
The mid-air collision sent both S-rate monsters flying backward in a tangled heap, instantly unraveling the constriction around Kenji’s torso.
However, the twin sonic whips of the final Bikaku ghoul had already breached his guard, closing in dead on his position.
BOOM!
With a thunderous explosion, the twin Kagune scored a direct, unmitigated hit on Kenji, kicking up a massive, blinding plume of dust and debris.
”We got him!” The solitary standing ghoul rejoiced, his face lighting up with absolute ecstasy.
Hearing the commotion, Big Madam and the Koukaku ghoul scrambled to their feet, their predatory eyes instantly locking onto the center of the dust cloud.
”Got who?”
Kenji’s calm, level voice cut through the clearing haze like a bucket of ice water poured over their heads.
As the smoke dissolved, Kenji’s silhouette stood perfectly revealed.
His hands were casually crossed over his chest, effortlessly gripping the twin dark-crimson Bikaku tentacles in a vice-like hold.
The trio froze in absolute horror.
The ghoul with the twin Bikaku pulled and yanked frantically, attempting to retract his appendages, but Kenji’s massive hands operated like industrialized hydraulic clamps, locking them down so ruthlessly that he couldn’t budge an inch.
The battlefield seemed to plunge into a temporary, frozen stalemate.
But Kenji was never an entity that granted an adversary a second opportunity.
Twisting his wrists in opposing directions, Kenji violently knotted and tangled the twin Kagune together.
He pinned the braided meat firmly under his left armpit to completely anchor the ghoul, while his right hand smoothly extracted [Gilded Cloud] from the floorboards, the veins across his forearm violently pulsing.
Pfft-chist!
A blinding flash of white steel cleaved through the air.
The twin dark-crimson tentacles were severed clean at the root, dropping to the floor and twitching sporadically in pools of fluid.
Without pausing for a single microsecond, Kenji exploded into a sprint toward Big Madam.
Therefore, his trajectory this time was locked dead onto her exposed neck!
Seeing Kenji blitzing straight for her, Big Madam’s expression turned utterly venomous and manic.
Her massive tail violently erupted forward again, clashing repeatedly with Kenji’s white longsword in mid-air, producing a rapid, deafening rhythm of metallic clangs.
Simultaneously, Big Madam didn’t maintain her distance.
While her Kagune actively tied up Kenji’s blade, her massive frame closed the distance at high speed, driving a heavy fist straight toward Kenji’s abdomen.
But Kenji’s defensive awareness was absolute.
BANG!
Their fists collided head-on.
Big Madam felt as though she had punched a thick, solid block of military-grade steel armor.
An excruciating, bone-deep ache rippled up her arm.
Looking across at Kenji, she realized the man’s expression hadn’t even flickered, completely unbothered by the impact.
Locking eyes for a fraction of a second, both entities unleashed a barrage of close-quarters strikes, their fists transforming into a blurry, overlapping storm of impacts in the air.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The exchange accelerated exponentially, but Kenji’s baseline velocity rapidly scaled to a threshold Big Madam’s neurological reflexes simply couldn’t track.
BOOM!
Kenji’s fist smashed cleanly into Big Madam’s face, instantly shattering her defensive rhythm.
What followed next degenerated into a completely one-sided, hyper-violent demolition.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
An endless torrent of concentrated punches rained down on Big Madam’s skull like a localized hurricane.
Her structurally resilient face rapidly began to cave in, fracturing and deflating under the sheer weight of the kinetic force.
Crimson, white, and yellowish fluids splattered violently across the immediate masonry.
Over to the side, the remaining two S-rate ghouls watched this brutally savage execution, every ounce of their remaining combat courage instantly evaporating.
Are you out of your mind?
You’re calling this creature a human?!
They had initially planned to wait for an opening to turn the tides.
Now that the situation had devolved into a meat grinder, staying meant certain death.
It was time to run!
BOOM!!!
With Kenji’s final, crushing punch breaking the floorboards, Big Madam’s colossal, ruined frame collapsed to the ground, laying completely motionless.
Only her fingers twitched with a faint, residual spasm, indicating to Kenji that the host of this body hadn’t entirely expired yet.
”This is bad!
That monster literally bludgeoned Big Madam to death!
Run!
Get out of here!”
Seeing Kenji halt his strikes, the two remaining ghouls didn’t waste a single heartbeat, instantly pivoting to leap through the massive glass windows to make their escape.
CRASH!
Before their feet could even leave the floor, the heavy stained-glass windows violently shattered inward.
Dozens of tactical tear-gas canisters rained into the VIP suite, instantly blanketing the area in thick, choking white smoke. Read this novel at g.com for the best experience.
Hidden within the chemical compound was a highly concentrated dose of RC cell suppressants, engineered to instantly paralyze a ghoul’s biological output.
”Breaching now!
Secure the perimeter!
Any identified ghoul is to be subdued immediately!”
”If they resist, execute on sight!”
Accompanied by a deep, authoritative male voice echoing from tactical megaphones, the rhythmic, deafening thuds of synchronized military boots flooded the facility.
Rows of heavily armored CCG investigators, wearing full-face gas masks, smashed through the barricaded entry points, rapidly forming a airtight tactical containment ring around the entire amphitheater.
Outside the third-floor windows, several military combat helicopters hovered aggressively around the perimeter of the ancient estate.
Their high-intensity searchlights sliced through the smoke and shattered windows, illuminating the interior of the ruined VIP suite with the brightness of high noon.
Several intense beams of light locked dead onto the remaining individuals standing on the third floor: Kenji, the mutilated Big Madam, the two traumatized S-rate ghouls, and…
a white-haired boy who had been curled up tightly in the deepest corner of the room from the very beginning.
Shinohara Yukinori and Mado Kureo executed a synchronized, high-altitude drop from the lead helicopter, crashing cleanly through the shattered window frame onto the third-floor balcony, instantly deploying their respective Quinques into combat readiness.
”Kureo, looks like our intelligence parameters were severely compromised.”
”There appears to be significantly more than just one solitary S-rate ghoul inside this facility.”
Shinohara surveyed the layout with extreme caution, his brow furrowing as he tried to decipher the bizarre scene before him.
Mado Kureo remained entirely silent.
His erratic, sharp gaze swept across the room, lingering for a calculated few seconds on the headless ghoul corpse on the ground before locking onto the brutally tenderized, unrecognizable mass that was Big Madam.
Kenji was somewhat surprised by the abrupt, aggressive intrusion of the CCG forces at this exact juncture, but tactically, it altered absolutely nothing for him.
Big Madam was a single breath away from expiring by his hand; his primary operational objective for this raid was already secured.
On the other side of the room, the two remaining S-rate ghouls subtly exchanged a glance, a massive wave of pure relief washing over their souls.
The CCG is finally here!
They would infinitely prefer to be dragged into the deepest, darkest cells of the CCG’s Cochlea containment facility than spend another ten seconds sharing a room with a absolute psycho like Kenji!
With the government authorities present, this human anomaly wouldn’t be allowed to casually beat them into paste…
right?
Because they were fundamentally terrified of provoking Kenji into another explosive reaction, the two ghouls remained perfectly rooted to the spot, not daring to even twitch.
Shinohara and Kureo still hadn’t fully pieced together the exact sequence of events that had transpired prior to their breach.
However, seeing two certified S-rate ghouls standing in a state of absolute, hyper-vigilant terror while staring at Kenji like he was a god of death, their attention was instantly drawn to the lone young man.
They raised their weapons, shifting their tactical focus to observe him with extreme wariness.
Kenji, on his part, raised an eyebrow, slightly annoyed by why these newly arrived investigators were staring so intently at him.
What?
Do these government employees intend to intercept and steal my kill at the finish line?
Big Madam was his direct tether to harvesting a substantial chunk of World Force; he had zero intention of letting anyone steal his hard-earned fruit at the final second.
In an instant, Kenji’s explosive musculature coiled with immense, fluid tension.
The entire third-floor suite plunged into a bizarre, suffocating silence.
