I'm Not Some Kind of Demon

Bai Cangshu put away the Scarlet Drop Card. He had realized that the characteristics of a Sin Karma Reincarnator might be related to killing reincarnators.

What had been revealed so far was that opening Scarlet Drop Cards granted additional drops based on Karma Points. He had just discovered that even in this "peaceful" cooperative mission world, Sin Karma Reincarnators still had a chance of obtaining Scarlet Drop Cards by killing reincarnators.

Tch, he really was an evil reincarnator.

Bai Cangshu felt somewhat troubled. He considered himself a very "lawful" sort of person, but whether it was the rules of this Reincarnation Space or the identity of a Sin Karma Reincarnator, both seemed to be reminding him that here, killing was the right thing to do.

The corner of Bai Cangshu's mouth curled upward. He saw Vincent and the others still fiercely battling the enlarged Man-eating Demon in the courtyard, and Ripple appeared on his hand once more.

Bang!

Amid a terrifying stomp, Bai Cangshu smashed through the damaged wooden door, charging straight in with a ferocious gust of wind.

Vincent's muscles hardened all over as he took an attack head-on and was sent flying. While airborne, he heard a dreadful sound. Turning his head, he saw only Bai Cangshu, his left hand glowing with Ripple Power, leaping high into the air.

Creak.

With the dreadful sound of taut muscles, Bai Cangshu's left hand twisted outward at an unnatural angle, its muscles taking on completely spiral-like patterns.

Elizabeth's pupils widened slightly from afar as her Mental Power spread outward.

Immortal Art: Rakshasa Palm!

Pfft!

Bai Cangshu struck Rokuro's back with his palm. In an instant, fierce force and terrifying spiraling power erupted completely.

The clothes on Rokuro's back instantly shattered, while his muscles were twisted and torn apart by the spiraling force.

Even more terrifyingly, golden Ripple accompanied that force, directly shattering Rokuro's tough skin and blasting into his body.

"Roar!"

Rokuro let out a beast-like howl of agony, the sound echoing throughout Heian-kyo City.

He spun around and sent Bai Cangshu flying with a slap.

Bai Cangshu spun several times in midair before landing with incomparable lightness, not taking even a single step back.

With the enhancement of Mercenary Tao's Pink Robe, his Martial Arts Mastery had reached Lv. 3. His use of borrowed force and force dissipation was exceptionally refined.

"Ah, it hurts!"

Rokuro did not feel any better after sending Bai Cangshu flying. On the contrary, the scorching Ripple caused a large portion of the flesh on his back to directly necrotize and melt away.

Elizabeth's eyes lit up at the sight. She floated into the air, suddenly chanting words at frequencies completely beyond the range of human hearing as her body slowly rose.

About five seconds later, she abruptly opened her eyes and clenched both hands fiercely toward Rokuro.

Pfft!

Amid a muffled blast, large amounts of blood sprayed from the nostrils and mouth of the Lower Rank Demon Rokuro.

From where Bai Cangshu stood, he could clearly see the Man-eating Demon's massive heart shatter explosively.

Rokuro's huge body collapsed limply to the ground, quickly returning to its normal size.

The Man-eating Demon's eyes were vacant, as though he were recalling beautiful moments from his memories. He revealed a faint smile before turning into drifting ash.

Lower Rank Two: Rokuro has died. You dealt 47% of the total damage and received a secondary reward.

You received 800 Dimensional Points.

Bai Cangshu had dealt nearly half the damage needed to kill this Lower Rank Demon with just one strike. This was the unrivaled restraint Hamon Breathing Style held over creatures like Man-eating Demons.

But the next moment, Bai Cangshu clearly saw a blue Drop Card appear in the hand of the tall woman calling herself Elizabeth.

His eyes narrowed slightly. In other words, that woman's attack just now had actually been the killing blow against this Man-eating Demon.

Many thoughts immediately surfaced in his mind. Abilities capable of directly killing Man-eating Demons without using a Nichirin Blade, aside from abilities like his Hamon Breathing Style that were connected to sunlight—

Were most likely holy-type abilities such as magic or prayers. In short, abilities with powerful restraint against dark creatures and undead creatures. Or perhaps it was an instant-death ability.

So-called instant-death abilities corresponded to immortality. Within Infinite Dimensional Space, there were special bloodlines like Man-eating Demons and vampires that could hardly be killed by ordinary damage. Such traits that could only be killed through special methods were called immortality.

The stronger the creature, the more likely it was to possess immortality. The immortality of Man-eating Demons, which could be killed by sunlight, Nichirin Blades, and various other methods, was merely the lowest level.

Instant death, on the other hand, ignored physical abilities and life force, directly killing the target completely.

For example, the effect of the Death Note.

This woman was a little dangerous.

Elizabeth put away the Drop Card, but the joy in her heart swiftly faded under the gaze of that "monster."

She knew that using that ability to secure this drop would inevitably make the other party wary of her.

But as a reincarnator, blindly showing weakness would only result in being devoured sooner. She met "Mercenary Tao's" gaze with dark eyes. Only after he looked away a moment later did Elizabeth relax slightly.

Vincent also immediately returned to her side. He was not in good shape at the moment, with one shoulder shattered and injuries covering his body.

After thinking for a moment, Elizabeth took the initiative to speak.

"Regarding Rokuro's drop, we'll offer 3,000 Dimensional Points to compensate everyone."

She had not opened that blue Drop Card yet and did not know whether she would receive a good reward. Still, this approach undoubtedly added a little binding agent to this fragile team.

Liu Qi, who had been fighting on the front lines all along, tossed aside the broken Nichirin Blade and nodded in acceptance of the arrangement.

The Professor also emerged from the other side, clutching her shoulder.

"I don't need any. I didn't contribute much to this battle."

Watching this scene, Bai Cangshu gained a deeper understanding of the ecology of reincarnators within the space.

Reincarnator was merely a general label. There were all kinds of people here, but in order to survive, everyone tried to find their own place.

Whether Elizabeth voluntarily offered 3,000 Dimensional Points or the Professor gave up her share, both were ways of anchoring their own positions.

Everyone turned to look at Bai Cangshu. They knew that the person who had contributed the most in this battle was still this somewhat crazed fellow.

Not only had he taken the initiative to assassinate the Minister of the Left, triggering this Side Mission, he had also crushed the reincarnator who joined the enemy camp in battle, forcing him to flee.

And besides...

All of them secretly feared Bai Cangshu to some extent. His actions were utterly incompatible with the Logic of ordinary reincarnators.

There was a terrifying madness to him.

Even now, the Professor and Elizabeth did not dare assume that this "Mercenary Tao" had accepted the fact that their group was temporarily a team.

In their eyes, it was entirely possible that this guy might suddenly erupt and try to kill the others.

"Ha ha, why are you all looking at me?"

"Miss Elizabeth's proposal is quite reasonable. I'm not some kind of demon. Could it be that I'd force Miss Elizabeth to do something even worse?"

Bai Cangshu smiled.

But Elizabeth's body stiffened for a moment.
