Chapter 943 – Malice Like a Knife
In the woman’s stupefied gaze, that teenager slowly walked to her side, and a touch of apology surfaced on that frail face.
”I’m sorry ……cough cough …… I’m late ……”
Yuzuri Takubai used his bloodstained sleeve and wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth, just this one simple action made his breathing ragged.
His body, it had already reached its limit.
In the past ten years or so, his body had been completely drained by the overdraft, and the aftermath of the god-making experiment had left a fatal flaw in his own genetic sequence, so if he hadn’t relied on the potion Yuzuri Kurotetsugu had snatched, he would have long since turned into a corpse.
These two days of high intensity use of power, coupled with endless battles and chases, the hidden genetic defects that had been accumulated in his body for a long time had all exploded, and the suppressive effect brought about by the potion was being rapidly weakened.
Because of this, it took him a long time just to fly here from somewhere else ……
But he, nonetheless, came.
Roar roar roar–!
The Brute Corpse Beast dragged its mutilated paws and angrily opened its mouth, an incomparably thick and bizarre tentacle surged out from its throat, twisting and slapping at Yuzuri-Takubai in front of it.
Yuzuri-Takubai stood still, those eyes calmly looking at the roiling tentacles that flew in, his fingertips gently hooked, and a panel crossed in front of his eyes.
”Prop selection ……a grade ancient martial arts prop, [Counterattack Shield].”
A small, pitch-black shield suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of him, the roiling tentacles frantically slapped down, and the moment they touched the shield, a piercing beam of light surged out, directly cutting off all the tentacles!
Yuzuri Takubai dispersed the [Counterattack Shield], raised his arm with difficulty, and pointed at the corpse beast’s head.
The Cyberpunk lance that was originally nailed to the ruins in the distance, violently trembled, violently flew backwards, pierced through the void at an astonishing speed, penetrated through the back of the head of the Barbarian Bull Corpse Beast, and flew out from the center of the eyebrow once again!
Originally still want to make a move of the savage bull corpse beast, the body suddenly stiffened, with the emergence of a ray of technological phantom light, its head burst open, its huge body fell to the ground powerlessly, raising a large amount of smoke and dust.
This was the forty-first corpse beast that Yuzuru Takeru White had killed.
Poof–!
The moment he killed the corpse beast, Yuzuri Takeru spat out a mouthful of blood, he bent down in pain, and the cyberpunk spear that was flying in the air, as if it had lost traction, landed on the ground helplessly.
His face was as pale as paper.
I don’t know how long it took before he took a deep breath, propped his hands on his knees, and slowly stood up from the ground.
After the death of the Brute Corpse Beast, a large number of residents, drenched in blood, ran out of the air-raid shelter in fear, and behind them, there were dozens of men with weapons in their hands and reddish, fierce eyes, with wounds all over their bodies, staggering out of the ground.
In just a few short minutes, the internecine fighting inside the air defense shelter had already resulted in the deaths of more than thirty people.
These men turned their heads and saw that the body of the Savage Bull Corpse Beast had fallen to the ground, ecstasy surfaced in their eyes as they laughed openly:
”Hahaha! It’s dead! It’s finally dead!!!”
Seeing the bloodstains on their bodies, Yuzuri Takeru’s brows furrowed slightly, he opened his mouth and was about to say something when a pair of palms suddenly reached out from his side, pushing him, who had managed to stand up with great difficulty, to the ground with great force!
Yuzuri Takeru fell weakly to the ground, turning his head to look at his side, his eyes filled with bewilderment.
Only to see that woman he had saved, holding the already cold corpse of a baby, standing trembling at his side, those reddish blood-like eyes staring at Yuzuru Takeru Shirou dead in the face, endless resentment and madness pouring out of his eyes!
”Why! Why didn’t you come until now!!!” No sanity could be seen on the woman’s face anymore as she roared hysterically, “My child is dead! He’s dead! If you could have come earlier! He could have lived!!!”
Yuzuri Takeru’s gaze fell on the corpse of the baby between the woman’s arms, and her entire body froze in place.
”Aren’t you a god? Aren’t you the white-clothed god who saves the world? Why can’t you even save my child? You speak up!
You couldn’t save him, so why did you save me?!”
The woman’s voice grew higher and higher as she stood between the rubble, looking down at Yuzuri-Takubai, who she had pushed to the ground, and letting out the most heart-breaking roar of rage as a victim who had been saved.
Yuzuri Takeru fell to the ground, his lips pursed slightly and slowly closed his eyes as a way to hide the sorrow in his heart.
He bowed his head in silence for a long time, and once again staggered up …… from the ground before turning around, ignoring the woman’s tirade, and walking towards the other side of the road.
The woman saw that Yuzuru Takeru didn’t pay any attention to her at all, her eyes flashed with unprecedented anger, she bent down, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it forcefully at Yuzuru Takeru’s back!
”Can’t even save a child! What kind of White God is that!!!” She roared again.
The hard stone landed on Yuzuru Takeru’s back, smashing his figure slightly, he did not turn around, nor did he stop himself, the red coat, completely drenched in blood, gently swaying in the fishy, salty breeze.
”White God! Have you seen my son? He got separated from me! Can you help me look for him?” Another figure ran to his side and asked anxiously.
Yuzuri Takubai was silent for a moment and shook his head, “I’m sorry …… I have other things on my mind.”
”Just help me find it! Just look for a little bit! You’re so powerful! It should be easy to find a child, right?” That person’s pitch was getting higher, but seeing that Yuzuru Takeru White was still walking forward firmly, those reddish eyes, the same anger surfaced, and
”Just helping me find my son! How much time will it take you?
My son, my son, he’s only fourteen years old! He’s still a child!
White-clothed God! Can you bear to see something happen to such a young child? Are you that cold-blooded?!”
Yuzuri Takeru Shiraito’s figure lurched.
After a moment, he remained silent and firm, walking forward ……
”Cold-blooded! Heartless! If you’re like this, what kind of world-saving god are you?!” Seeing this, the man spat on the ground, and then picked up the stones on the side, following the woman at the very beginning, and smashed them against his back!
”Right..! If you had come earlier! My wife wouldn’t have been hard enough to be crushed to death by the stones!” In the crowd, a man with reddened eyes cursed in the same rage.
”Leg! My leg is broken! If you hadn’t come late! I could have been the best track runner in Osaka! My future is ruined!”
”……”
Under the erosion of the red moon, one after another of the residents fell into a frenzy, they transferred all the anger triggered by the invasion of the corpse beasts onto Yuzuru Takeru Takeru Shiraito in front of them, and they attributed all of their own misfortunes and sorrows to the god in white ……
Stones like rain, malice like swords.
Yuzuri-Takibai draped in a blood-stained robe, ignoring the curses of the crowd on both sides, like a lonely walker, staggering but firm, stepping forward ……
Like looking for something.
