Chapter 423: Kaito Shirogane VS Seo Ji-woo
"Shibal! It really is Moon Demon that guy, Shibal ah!"
The man floating in the air casting the barrier wore a black raincoat, cursing loudly at this moment.
He saw clearly that iconic terrifying sword light, and that sharpness he could feel even from hundreds of meters away.
Undoubtedly, [Moon Demon] was right below!
People become angry due to fear. He kept cursing all kinds of profanities, trying to give himself courage.
In the distance, the woman setting up an extremely special large sniper rifle spat out gum, mocking into the microphone.
"So what if it's Moon Demon? No one is a match for that guy. You useless fellow, really trash."
The crosshair in her scope didn't stay in the center. Instead, as she moved, the crosshair locked onto the two people standing inside the half-cut official residence, staying on them.
She completely concealed her Nen, almost undetectable. At this moment, it erupted abruptly. She aimed the gun directly at the ground in front of her.
Bang!
Bang!
Two shots in succession.
The official residence slid down from the air. Wind and rain, along with the dim sky, enveloped the three people simultaneously.
When that chill surged, Lee Chae-rin's blade had just shrunk back to the normal one-meter length. Then a picture flashed in her mind. She turned sideways and tilted her head slightly.
The ground in front of her was pierced by a bullet in the next moment.
That bullet rotated extremely fast, brushing past Lee Chae-rin's cheek and flying into the wind and rain.
"Shibal!"
The woman codenamed [Amber Throat] also cursed secretly. Without time to check the result of the other shot, she immediately got up and pounced forward.
In the next moment, an emerald green sword light fell straight down.
Crack!
The stone-paved ground was as fragile as tofu, directly cut open. Amber Throat pressed a button on her shoulder. A mask with strong metallic texture immediately covered her head. Then her whole person disappeared in the rain, completely invisible.
[President Kim] in the sky also punched down immediately at this time.
His fist disappeared in front of him. In the next moment, it turned into a huge fist of ten-odd meters, smashing down from the air towards the official residence.
Lee Chae-rin disappeared like a flowing light.
Boom!
The official residence collapsed with a crash.
President Kim's heart moved. He felt the tactile sensation of this punch was very weird. He wanted to withdraw his fist, but found he couldn't do it.
On the other side, Amber Throat, using [Predator] equipment to achieve invisibility, stood on the side, looking at the scene before her in shock.
After Moon Demon dodged, that man wearing a loose T-shirt held her boss Seo Ji-woo's hand with one hand, and raised his other hand, single-handedly catching President Kim's spiritualized strike.
Rumble!
Instead, the place ten-odd meters away from where the opponent stood vibrated and collapsed with a crash.
And the reason President Kim couldn't withdraw his fist was that the opponent's right hand forcefully gripped the surface of that huge fist. merely using grip strength, he grabbed something of that volume.
What was this?
Strength-type bloodline, or a supernatural user?!
Amber Throat unconsciously breathed heavily. Although she had always been audacious, her heart still contracted in waves at this time. The powerful shoulder cannon on her shoulder aimed subconsciously. The infrared sight shone on that man's forehead.
Seo Ji-woo saw this scene, shaking his head with a smile.
"Forgive me, Mr. Shirogane. Probably you went too far in the last world, so many decent guys in our society heard they were coming to kill you and Moon Demon, and directly left [Isshinkai]..."
"I could only bring these few useless guys to kill you. Isn't it funny, haha..."
His mental state became increasingly excited, especially seeing the look Mercenary Tao gave him.
He was very certain that Mercenary Tao was the kind of person he had always been looking for.
That kind of person who could truly do great things!
Not bound by the rules, morals, and concepts of those weaklings, a person truly chasing power and absolute freedom!
Creak, creak.
The fingernails on Seo Ji-woo's right hand returned to normal, but his right arm swelled up. The force became greater and greater, not inferior to Kaito at all. No, his strength was still increasing.
At this time, it had exceeded Kaito's strength.
He changed his hand gesture bit by bit, then forcibly clasped his right hand held by Kaito together with Kaito's hand. In Seo Ji-woo's attention, Lee Chae-rin no longer existed.
Lee Chae-rin was the partner he once selected, but seeing Mercenary Tao, he had completely lost interest in Lee Chae-rin.
He didn't rush to fight. Instead, he shook hands with Kaito using strength first.
"I acknowledge you, Mr. Shirogane. I feel we will be good partners."
He shook hands up and down. Dragon scales began to grow on his arm one by one.
Kaito watched Seo Ji-woo's performance, a similarly wanton smile on his face.
He was taller and bigger. At this moment, he lowered his head slightly, taking in the madness in Seo Ji-woo's eyes completely.
A scarlet outline appeared from Seo Ji-woo's body. [Gaze of Arrogance] activated unconsciously, marking this fellow [Sin] series Reincarnator.
"Seo Ji-woo, haven't you heard a saying?"
Seo Ji-woo didn't answer, still smiling.
The corner of Kaito's mouth hooked up, revealing teeth one by one. The black long hair behind him also began to float without wind. A strong aura began to rise. Wind and rain changed direction, parting from behind him.
"Only the weak huddle together. The strong... always walk alone."
"You, are a weakling~"
Seo Ji-woo's abnormally swollen right hand suddenly gripped hard.
Intense force and terrifying speed exceeding ordinary limits caused the air to be crushed in his hand instantly, turning into white cloud debris flying away in a vortex shape.
Boom!
Air pressure exploded from their palms.
Whoosh.
Brilliant flames ignited from Seo Ji-woo in an instant. Simultaneously, scales also appeared from Kaito's body surface one by one.
Amidst burning flames, Seo Ji-woo tore off his white shirt. Nearly 80% of his whole body was covered by dragon scales.
Dragon blood boiled; his strength was also burning.
Powerful force swept into Kaito's hand like crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood.
Being a Sin series Reincarnator, he naturally possessed the ability to obtain Scarlet Drop Cards by hunting Reincarnators. He could also obtain a lot of attribute points.
Moreover, he was a Reincarnator naturally inclined towards Strength and Agility specialization. At this moment, his base Strength attribute already exceeded 60 points. Combined with [Dragon Strength]'s high efficacy conversion of 1.9.
Among Reincarnators faced before, few could contend with him in strength.
Kaito's hair scattered. He wasn't overwhelmed by this strength at all. Instead, when brilliant flames burned opposite him, crimson Jealousy Fire also ignited.
[Solitary Jealousy Fire] triggered layer by layer.
Thump.
Huge heartbeat sound, like beating a drum.
Accompanied by the thirst for power, Kaito's body began to change rapidly. His arm swelled rapidly under the change of Talent Helix.
Different from Kaito's previous posture of whole-body swelling when activating incomplete talent, Kaito's control over that flesh body at this moment was approaching perfection.
If only controlling his own flesh body, [Transcendent Helix] First Turn state was sufficient.
But... Kaito wasn't satisfied!
Thump!
Heartbeat beat violently again.
Blue-white lightning appeared from Kaito's body.
Seo Ji-woo watched his arm being pressed down bit by bit. An unprecedentedly powerful force was rising.
Sizzle!
Black-red lightning appeared from the opponent's hand.
That was... Conqueror's Haki Coating!
Crack.
Kaito took a step forward. His aura already began to overwhelm Seo Ji-woo. Then Kaito raised his head high and smashed down violently at Seo Ji-woo.
Bang!
Their heads collided. The terrible sound was like thunder exploding.
A huge shockwave blew away from the center to the surroundings.
Amber Throat felt tight in her heart at this moment, immediately pressing the launch button.
The missile on her shoulder launched with a boom.
