She seemed like a fragile little spider, only able to stand in place, waiting for fate’s verdict.
No one knew how much time had passed.
The monster finally made a new move.
Brian looked at the small tachi in his hand with regret before walking slowly towards Spider Woman, "I’m in a good mood right now.."
Spider Woman felt a spark of joy.
Was she going to survive?
Then she heard Brian continue, "Here’s the deal, I’ll stand still, give you one second to run. If you can get away, I’ll let you go."
Spider Woman wanted to say something, but Brian had already raised his sword.
With a scream of terror, she threw herself to the ground, her limbs twisting oddly as she grasped the earth, using hands and feet together like a giant, human-shaped spider, silently scampering away at great speed..
Watching Spider Woman’s retreating figure, Brian swung the raised sword, following the imaginary line he saw with his eyes.
Accompanied by a sharp sound of air tearing, the blade’s wind was like Sword Gang, as if cutting into an unobstructed vacuum, following the path of air currents, instantly rushing ahead more than forty meters, slicing across Spider Woman’s irregularly fast-moving body on the ground.
Flesh separated from flesh.
The half of Spider Woman’s body that had been lying down, driven by inertia, glided in midair. She watched helplessly as her lower half, moving at an even greater speed, followed the remaining nerve response instructions, and detached from the upper half, continuing its irregular, rapid movement..
Brian nodded at the horrifying scene.
The imaginary lines represented not only the weaknesses in all things but also the rules they follow.
To attack in accordance with these rules was like a butcher expertly cutting up an ox, one part attack delivering tenfold power.
This was why Yagyuu Kojirou, despite being slower and less powerful than Brian, could rely on the edge of his blade to slash with air-cutting attacks like Sword Gang and create a Vacuum Domain before him. These were feats Brian could never accomplish, no matter how hard he tried.
It all came down to one following the flow and another going against it.
Putting aside his reflections,
Brian looked at his seemingly intact but actually riddled with holes small tachi, chuckled and planted it in the ground, then began to clear the battlefield with his bare hands.
He no longer needed such things.
A sword is just a vessel for attack.
What he desired was the complete Limit Heart Eye of Yagyuu Kojirou.
Without the sword, relying on his fists, heavy sniper rifles, anti-aircraft machine guns, rockets, or even piloting a fighter jet, using the Rule Power of Heart Eye to pierce through weaknesses in all things, he could launch even more brutal attacks.
Those metal-helmeted individuals couldn’t bring forth a single obsession.
But the Beastification Transformed People were different; the drop rate was high.
When Brian struck, he made a point of avoiding the imaginary line that would directly destroy the brain.
This way, even if the victim didn’t realize they had been dismembered, they could still contribute to Brian’s obsession with a few seconds of lucid consciousness, thanks to the remaining brain cells.
Out of a dozen people, three obsessions surfaced.
Spider Woman and Werewolf each accounted for one; the owner of the last one seemed to be a Snake Muscle Beastification Person.
His killing was too efficient, resulting in a pile of limbs that were hard to distinguish.
After the collection.
Brian approached the earlier bombing area, pretended to look at the void above, then made a motion like crushing something.
A green mist spread, covering his form.
At this time, within the base, whether it was Manager Smith or the old man from Beast Pavilion, Ruan Zhengyi, both were holding their breath.
Watching the corrosive green mist on the satellite feed.
Smith swallowed his saliva, "Requesting a tactical nuclear strike from afar.."
The virtual face reappeared, "Request received, headquarters is reviewing.."
To ease his tense emotions, he looked at Ruan Zhengyi, "Do you think that’s really Yagyuu Kojirou?"
Ruan Zhengyi nodded uncertainly, "Those white eyes are a characteristic of the Yagyuu family’s abilities being pushed beyond the limit. Descendants of Yagyuu Kojirou also inherit similar abilities in Mutants, but Second Rank Life, only Yagyuu Kojirou had the strength and signature sword technique."
Smith slammed his fist onto the counter, "We must hold Japan accountable and demand compensation!"
At the same time, other thoughts arose in his mind.
When Yagyuu Kojirou underwent the forbidden transplant at the base, he was nowhere near this strong. Now his power was so exaggerated, he seemed even stronger than the Mutants that attacked the base previously.
Did this imply that if they could solve the problem of assimilating forbidden transplants, the benefits would be even greater than they imagined?
If this were true, by reporting the news to headquarters, he might not be executed for failure...
As for compensation, it could be shifted to Japan, to make up for the base’s losses...
With this thought, he felt he might still be able to salvage the situation.
Just then, Ruan Zhengyi tapped the daydreaming Smith, "Manager, Yagyuu Kojirou has left.."
Smith snapped back to reality and looked at the screen.
Under satellite surveillance, the monster had left the green mist, sprinting towards the outskirts of the park, showing no intention of attacking the base. Instead, he ran exceptionally fast, as if he knew they planned to obliterate the area with a tactical nuclear bomb..
