"strengthen."
A black mist suddenly appeared and covered Kato Megumi's body, but it did not cause her any harm. Instead, it made her feel refreshed, her physical and mental strength were restored, and she felt a power boost.
"Enhancement skills... This guy is actually a support priest."
When Kotoko Iwanaga saw this, she first frowned slightly, but now was not the time to consider personal feelings. Seeing that after Rikka Sakuragawa used a strengthening skill on Megumi Kato, Asuna Yuuki and Megumi Kato became much more relaxed, but Rikka Sakuragawa herself seemed to be in a predicament, she immediately reached out her hand.
"Touch of the Dead".
While creating a pale, ghostly hand to interfere with the groom and the cook, Kotoko Iwanaga also used black particles to form two black humanoid figures, one to help Asuna Yuuki and Megumi Kato, and the other to help Rikka Sakuragawa.
After IBM joined the battle, both sides immediately felt much more relaxed. After all, the black particles that formed IBM were incredibly sturdy. Although their resistance to curses was not outstanding, these evil spirits did not attack with pure curse attributes. In fact, attacks like the twins and the chef were only physical attacks with a portion of curse damage.
In another area, the Black Watch Commander, who had been torn in two by the Asura, reappeared in the viscous sea of blood on the ground.
"Knowing that your team members are in danger, yet unable to help in any way, you must be very worried, right?"
"That's it?"
Upon hearing the Blackwatch commander's words, Asagiri simply shook her head.
"Trying to distract me with words? Stop with such childish and boring tricks; they only reveal your powerlessness."
"Is this so..."
The Blackwatch commander first made a noncommittal remark, then suddenly flashed forward and rushed towards Asagiri, who was standing there, and delivered a whip kick.
"boom!!"
Asagiri raised his arm to block, and his body slid nearly two meters to the side due to the impact of the force. Then he raised his head, and golden light shone in his eyes.
"Mita".
The person who was originally standing there, Shura, disappeared and was replaced by the original Mita.
The moment the prototype Mita appeared, its chin trembled incessantly. Accompanied by the soft clicking of the puppet's joints, its neck instantly lengthened, and it opened its mouth to bite at the Black Watch Commander.
"Boom!"
Blackwatch Commander's arms transformed into a thick, almost tangible blood mist, directly blocking the original Mita's attack. But the next second, Asagiri appeared in front of him, a pale golden light appearing in her eyes. She also delivered a whip kick, directly striking Blackwatch Commander's temple.
The Blackwatch Commander's head exploded instantly, and he lashed out at Asagiri with tentacles formed from blood mist, but it did not cause any damage, nor did it even make Asagiri's body sway.
"it is as expected."
As the headless body of the Blackwatch Commander sank into the viscous sea of blood on the ground, Asagi glanced around and spoke calmly.
“You are not purely a monster, but a combination that can switch between a monster and a human body. When you switch to a monster, you are a curse-attribute damage, and when you transform into a human body, your physical functions are much stronger, but you cannot use the power of curses.”
"You saw right through me..."
The Blackwatch commander's figure appeared in the distance, his gaze towards Asagiri showing a clear increase in apprehension.
"The damage from curses doesn't seem to have much effect on you..."
Just then, the Blackwatch commander suddenly drew a pistol from his waist, aimed at Asagiri standing there, and pulled the trigger repeatedly without hesitation.
"Bang bang bang!"
Two shots to the chest and one to the head.
Are you trying to make me laugh?
After being hit by a pistol bullet, Asagiri's body remained motionless; she simply raised her hand and casually patted her chest.
"I also have gun resistance."
Upon seeing this scene, a single word came to mind for the Blackwatch commander.
monster.
The "shadow" in front of me was a complete monster.
The strange power could not harm him, nor could gun bullets.
How exactly can we defeat such a monster?
"Hmm? Are you going to surrender and admit defeat?"
Hearing Asagiri's smiling words, the Blackwatch Commander took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and spoke in a deep voice.
"Surrender? Admit defeat? I am a commander of Blackwatch, and my will will never yield to anyone, especially not someone like you..."
"Yeah, yeah, I know, I know."
Before the other party could finish speaking, Asagiri interrupted.
"The so-called strength or weakness is not about willpower or determination, but an objective phenomenon. No one cares how strong your will is or how unwavering your determination is. You will disappear completely today, and..."
At this point, Crazy Metta's extremely bizarre puppet head suddenly stretched out and lunged at the Blackwatch Commander standing there. Just as the latter was about to defend himself, he heard Asagiri's voice beside him.
"Human Asura".
"The Spear of Frost".
When the Blackwatch commander turned around, he saw a massive human-like figure, covered in eerie dark red patterns, exuding a suffocating aura, and an ice spear radiating coldness, simultaneously attacking him.
"Your disappearance is meaningless; it's just another speck of dust that I've swept away on my path forward."
"boom!!"
The Blackwatch commander raised his arms to block, but his body was pierced directly by the icy spear that emanated a chilling aura. However, the next second, just as the Asura was about to grab his shoulder, his body sank back into the viscous, blood-red ground.
"Did it run away again? Its pathetic, pathetic way of clinging to life is truly laughable."
Asagiri's expression and eyes were incredibly calm, and her voice even carried a relaxed laugh.
“I’ve found your weakness. Your fighting posture is strange. No matter what, even when you’re sprinting at full speed, one of your feet is always touching the ground. If I’m not mistaken…”
"The moment your body is destroyed without even touching the liquid on the ground means the end of you."
Upon hearing this, the Black Watch Commander, lurking in the sea of blood, was startled.
He never expected that "Shadow" would see through his abilities in just a few rounds of combat.
How can we defeat such a powerful monster that is immune to bullets and curses and possesses such insight?
85
Chapter 85 failed to satisfy Lord "Shadow".
Even with the incorporation of the supernatural, the Blackwatch Commander's power is still limited. After all, he is not the true source of the supernatural power in the Giant Mountain Mental Hospital. He merely absorbed a portion of the supernatural power through the wooden box containing that evil object, experiments conducted by some mental patients, and the resentment generated during the riot at the Giant Mountain Mental Hospital.
In other words...
In fact, this one-eyed wounded commander, whose physical functions gradually declined with age and whose combat power was far inferior to that of the commander in his youth, was the real subject of Blackwatch's experiments.
The result of the experiment can be described as either a success or a failure.
The success lies in the fact that this Blackwatch commander did indeed possess a certain degree of bizarre power while maintaining basic sanity, making him an ideal fully-fledged biological weapon in the Blackwatch experimental program.
The problem was that after absorbing some of the strange power of the Giant Mountain Mental Hospital, he also became a kind of earthbound spirit, unable to leave the area.
From the very beginning of the battle, the Blackwatch commander made a mistake.
He thought that separating Asagiri and Yuuki Asuna would make it easy to defeat them, but in reality, he was at a disadvantage on both sides. Not only did creating those demons disperse his power, but the special nature of the Supreme Magic Bullet also completely destroyed Chris Walker, causing him to suffer a backlash.
"If……"
An idea popped into the Blackwatch commander's mind.
If it were just "Shadow" alone, he should be able to defeat him; as for the other targets...
Capturing "Shadow" is Blackwatch's highest priority task at this stage; everything else can take a backseat to this task.
With this in mind, the Blackwatch commander manipulated this area and made a subtle change.
In the area on the other side.
"Ok?"
Seeing the bodies of the mentally ill demons in front of her turn back into blood and merge into the ground, Asuna Yuuki frowned slightly, but did not let her guard down.
"The mentally ill patient has disappeared? What kind of scheme is being plotted now?"
Kotoko Iwanaga, who was standing next to the elevator, seemed to sense something, looked up, and murmured.
"Oh, so that's how it is..."
The thick blood that had blocked the metal plate above had disappeared, and even the ground several meters around the elevator had turned back into bluish stone bricks, as if they were being deliberately let go.
In the area on the other side.
"boom!!!"
The Blackwatch Commander punched Asagiri in the abdomen, the speed and power of which were several levels greater than before. Under this powerful punch, Asagiri's body flew backward several meters away, barely managing to stand up when she landed.
"The internal organs are damaged..."
Hearing Asagiri's extremely calm tone, the Blackwatch Commander slowly withdrew his fist, a layer of viscous blood covering his body.
"He was able to remain completely calm and composed despite the excruciating pain, and his voice didn't even tremble in the slightest..."
The Blackwatch commander stared directly into the black eyes beneath Asagiri's grey mask and spoke slowly.
"You are an admirable soldier."
"Stop being funny."
Asagiri shook her head and replied with a smile.
"Do you think this is some kind of shonen manga? Just skip the cheesy parts about mortal enemies showing mutual respect."
"as you wish."
As the Blackwatch commander finished speaking, the body enveloped in viscous blood appeared before Asagiri. He used the most basic and unadorned fighting techniques as before, but the power and speed of his punches far exceeded the range of normal humans, and the sound of air being torn apart could even be heard.
"Human Asura".
Asagiri switched her Persona to Human Shura and summoned him instantly. The incredibly strong Human Shura was hit by a straight punch from the Blackwatch Commander, and his chest caved in instantly.
Immediately afterwards, the Blackwatch Commander bypassed the Shura blocking his way with astonishing speed and delivered a side kick to Asagiri, who was standing there.
"boom!!!"
Asagiri clenched her right fist and struck the knee of the Blackwatch commander with precise accuracy.
"Click."
The Blackwatch Commander's knee shattered instantly, his entire leg bending into a bizarre arc. The next second, his body sank back into the blood-soaked ground, once again dodging the hands of the Asura who tried to grab him.
"I see, this is your ability."
The Blackwatch Commander emerged from the distance, looking at Asagiri standing there, and the imposing figure of Shura beside him, and slowly spoke.
"Your physical functions are at their strongest when you summon this thing. If you summon something else, your physical strength will decrease to some extent."
Then, the Blackwatch commander spoke again.
“I’ve already lifted the seal on this exit. On one side is a terrifying and powerful enemy, and on the other is an easy escape route. Do you really think they’d choose to risk their lives to help you…”
"boom!"
Just as the Blackwatch commander was speaking, the rising wall of blood suddenly trembled.
"What……"
"It seems they're trying to break through here."
Asagiri said calmly, "Time is running out."
The Blackwatch commander frowned, seemingly not expecting the bond between Asagiri and Asuna Yuuki to be so deep that they would abandon an easy escape route and risk their lives to help each other.
Even though it was unexpected, in order not to reveal his emotions, he still pretended to speak in a dismissive tone.
"Ha, waiting for them to come to your rescue? How naive. I only need to spare some of my strength to reinforce the walls' defenses. Before they break through, I will completely crush you. There's plenty of time..."
You seem to have misunderstood me.
Asagiri interrupted the Blackwatch commander's words and slowly began to speak.
"I mean, my time is running out. I will completely destroy you before they break through."
Hearing these arrogant words, the Blackwatch commander, who had been unable to remain calm and think due to the use of all his strange powers, felt intense anger and sneered.
"If it's possible..."
