Anime Crossover: A single ranking exposed the world

Page 147

Now we can only think about the reasons behind it.

Do you know why I'm not worried at all?

As if responding to what Kanzaki Teru had just said, Rize Kamishiro remained standing by without any intention of making a move.

"That's really going too far, Miss Kamishiro. Although I won't die, it's still too much for you to do absolutely nothing."

He complained like that, but his tone was surprisingly relaxed.

However, Kanzaki Teru couldn't see the other person's mouth, so he was also curious about how the other person made sounds.

"Is this the source of your confidence that you're not worried at all? Is it the ability to be immortal?"

In Kanzaki Teru's mind, ghouls do not have the ability to be immortal.

While they may be more resilient than ordinary people, the ability to be resurrected does not exist.

At that moment, Kanzaki Teru remembered a book he had once read.

Legend has it that in a much earlier time, there existed in the world what are known as ghouls.

However, in its place is a creature called a "demon," which possesses the ability to be immortal.

However, it fears sunlight, and will die if its neck is cut off by a sword made of a special type of steel.

However, this bloodline has now branched out.

That is what is called a "ghoul," and most beings are ghouls now.

Ghosts are extremely rare, but they haven't completely disappeared.

There are even ghosts called the Twelve Crescent Moons, whose existence is beyond the realm of reason.

Even if he suffers a fatal injury, he can recover instantly. Thinking about this, Kanzaki Teru felt like he had won the lottery.

If it weren't for the current situation, he would definitely turn around and buy a lottery ticket.

"You can't kill me with your attacks. You'd better just let us eat you up. Before we eat you, I can let you have a good dream."

"Although your offer is very tempting, please allow me to refuse, after all, I haven't lived enough yet."

"If you want to eat, how about you eat the one behind me? She doesn't look much tastier than me."

He pointed behind him to Kamishiro, showing that Kanzaki Teru didn't take the two of them seriously at all.

"I--"

Just as the other party was about to say something more, Kanzaki Teru seized the opportunity and activated his ability again.

Since we can't solve the nightmare, let's change our target.

After all, in such casual conversation, very few people can react in the quickest way.

However, it is clear that the other party is no ordinary person either.

Just as Kanzaki Hikaru disappeared from the spot, four sharp, black and red tail-like kagune suddenly extended from behind Kamishiro Rize.

This is an ability possessed by every ghoul, and each person's kagune shape is different.

The only thing we know for sure is that this is an extremely dangerous entity.

These four kagune were aimed directly at Kanzaki Hikaru, even though Kamishiro Rize didn't turn around at all.

However, he accurately pinpointed Kanzaki Hikaru's location, but such an attack posed no threat to him.

Just before Kanzaki Teru was about to distort that part of space, an uneasy premonition arose in his heart.

Chapter 228: A Girl Like a Butterfly

Kanzaki Teru instinctively interrupted his attack and activated his ability to teleport again.

The next moment, a gaping maw suddenly appeared where he had been standing.

It completely swallowed that entire space; if Kanzaki Hikaru had been even a step slower, he would have been devoured by that mouth.

"This is indeed a bit tricky."

Unlike Rize Kamishiro, Enmu would cover for her when she was attacked.

Furthermore, this attack came almost without warning, leaving no room for reaction.

While Kanzaki Hikaru is more stable in close-range attacks, that doesn't mean he can't use ranged attacks.

Now that the two are covering for each other, Kanzaki Teru has no chance to get close.

Just as the stalemate was at hand, a fragrant aroma drifted in on the wind.

At the same time, a gentle yet alluring voice rang out from Kanzaki Hikaru.

Like a gust of wind, a beautiful girl, as radiant as a butterfly, descended from the sky.

"Oh, good evening! The moon is so beautiful tonight. Do you need my help?"

He didn't even realize the voice belonged to Kanzaki Hikaru until the person appeared right in front of him.

"Looks like there are quite a few guests tonight."

Upon seeing the girl, Nightmare clearly reacted.

It's clear that the other person knows this girl.

"Oh dear, it seems I'm not very popular."

Both Enmu and Rize Kamishiro became more vigilant in the face of this girl.

However, the girl's attitude remained unchanged, with a faint smile always on her face, which was enough to make her unpredictable.

"Oh dear, little girl, you've come to the wrong place. This isn't an amusement park."

"It's really embarrassing that they called me a little girl."

Clearly, this person understood the meaning behind the words of the gods, but she chose to respond in the most playful way.

"who are you?"

Although Kanzaki Teru, who was listening nearby, could tell that the two were enemies, he did not think that this person was his comrade.

After all, she might just be there to compete for her prey.

"Me? Demon Slayer Corps - Insect Hashira, Shinobu Kocho."

As if to complement her name, the haori worn by the girl who calls herself Kocho Shinobu is also shaped like a butterfly.

She was wearing a butterfly hair ornament, which shone brightly in the moonlight.

Her black, shoulder-length bob has a unique beauty, but the ends are purple.

It seems she was born with this feature, which, combined with her purple eyes, gives her a unique charm.

"Demon Slayer Corps?"

"Never heard of it? Well, that's true. After all, we're a rather secretive organization, and we don't usually operate in the open."

Seeing the puzzled look on Kanzaki Teru's face, Kocho Shinobu showed no sign of anger.

"But if we're going to chat, let's take care of these people first."

Shinobu drew her sword from her waist, and a strange fragrance emanated from her body.

Upon smelling the scent, Kanzaki Teru instinctively moved away from the area.

"Oh dear, I'm sorry, I forgot, hehe."

I didn't expect you to be so perceptive. Here, take this.

"You wait there, I'll take care of them quickly."

Seeing Kanzaki Teru's reaction, Kocho Shinobu seemed to remember something.

He stuck out his tongue as if he had successfully pulled off a prank, and then took a small bottle out of his pocket.

The bottle contained a dark green liquid, which looked particularly suspicious.

Kanzaki Teru retreated just now because his sense of danger triggered an alarm, so he subconsciously moved away.

However, after only inhaling a small amount of the fragrance emanating from Shinobu Kocho, Hikaru Kanzaki felt his hands and feet go numb.

Although I don't know exactly what the effect is, just inhaling such a small amount has such an effect.

That smell must have contained a deadly poison, but Shinobu Kocho, who was at the center of such a poisonous atmosphere, was completely unharmed.

It's highly likely that she took the antidote beforehand, or that she is immune to this toxin, although that's less likely.

Looking at the suspicious liquid in his hand, Kanzaki Teru first opened the bottle opening a little.

The smell emanating from inside was extremely pungent; (Zhao Zhao) felt like he was going to vomit after just one sniff of Kanzaki Hikaru.

Although it was extremely disgusting, it did not feel dangerous.

Furthermore, Kanzaki Teru remembered who Shinobu Kocho was; her name had appeared when the first [Dimensional Ranking] was announced.

However, Kanzaki Teru didn't care about these things, so he didn't bother to remember them.

However, I still have some impression that Shinobu Kocho seems to be a master of drug production.

Although there is no concrete evidence, it is the people who can help you in this situation.

It's highly unlikely that this person will pose too much of a threat to him, so Kanzaki Teru decided to trust him for the time being.

Chapter 229: Clash

"Oh my, you're so good, you actually drank the medicine."

I never expected you to trust me so much. Have you fallen for me?

"Stop joking! This stuff tastes awful!"

Seeing Kanzaki Teru drink the medicine in one gulp, Kocho Shinobu clapped her hands in a somewhat affected manner to encourage him.

That was the kind of attitude you'd have towards a child, but honestly, the medicine tasted really bad.

As soon as Kanzaki Teru drank it, he felt his stomach churning, and his stomach acid felt like it was about to reflux.

He even felt for a moment that he had misplaced his trust in the other party, but this feeling quickly disappeared.

The discomfort gradually disappeared, replaced by a feeling of being full of energy.

The difference before and after was so great that Kanzaki Teru also felt it was particularly amazing.
