The Despairing Rize

After sensing Su Xiao's gaze, Rize's body stiffened slightly. She stared at him without daring to look away.

At that moment, the Dragon Slayer Flash in Su Xiao's hand had already sunk deep into Gecko's head, entering through the eye socket and emerging from the back of his skull.

Even so, Gecko still hadn't died, showing just how tenacious the vitality of a Scale Kagune Ghoul was.

After Su Xiao had severed his Kagune and one of his arms, Gecko had basically lost all combat ability. That was why Su Xiao had pierced his head with a single slash.

"No~, impossible. How can a human be this strong?"

Gecko's body convulsed. The damage to his brain had left his thoughts somewhat muddled.

Su Xiao tightened his grip on the hilt and pulled the Dragon Slayer Flash sideways.

A cruel scene unfolded. The sharp Dragon Slayer Flash directly split Gecko's skull, piercing through the bone from his temple.

Half of Gecko's head was cleaved open. He fell to the ground with a thud, black-red fluid flowing from his eye socket. His appearance was miserable.

Having one's skull pierced and having one's skull cleaved open were two different things. Although Gecko's vitality was tenacious, he would soon die if he failed to eat human flesh in time.

Su Xiao knew a little about a Ghoul's tenacity. In the original story, the "Gourmet," Tsukiyama, had half his head knocked off by Touka, yet he miraculously survived by eating his own flesh.

A flash of the blade passed. Gecko's head fell to the ground, and the white mask stained red with blood on his face shattered.

Su Xiao knew that Gecko was an important character in the original story and played a role in advancing the plot.

Without Gecko, Ken Kaneki's growth would be much slower, but what did that have to do with him?

He had come to complete his mission and grow stronger with the power of Reincarnation Paradise, not to kneel and fawn over characters from the original story.

If Ken Kaneki appeared before Su Xiao after becoming stronger, Su Xiao would still go up and slash him.

The current Ken Kaneki wasn't even worth killing.

You killed the S-Rank Ghoul, Yakumo Oshu.

Yakumo Oshu was a key plot character. You obtained 5.2% of the World Source. You have now obtained a total of 5.2% of the World Source.

Your talent, "Spirit Eater," has activated. Permanently increased Mana by 10 points. Current Mana: 163 points.

After killing Gecko, a green Treasure Chest floated up from his body.

Only Contractors could see this green Treasure Chest. At this moment, the dozen or so Contractors in the distance were all greedily staring at it. If not for Su Xiao, they would have swarmed over long ago.

"What? You want this Treasure Chest? If you do, come and take it."

Su Xiao looked at those Contractors with a smile. If he hadn't been afraid of Rize Kamishiro escaping, he would have already begun clearing the area.

In fact, Rize had wanted to flee long ago, but Gecko had died too quickly. He had been killed by Su Xiao in a single exchange, in a total of four slashes.

The first slash severed the Kagune, the second severed his arm, the third pierced his head, and the fourth beheaded him.

It wasn't that Rize didn't want to run. She simply hadn't had the time~.

"Don't misunderstand. We don't have any other intentions."

Han Yu was the first to state his position. He slowly retreated with his people, and the other Contractors did the same.

Xiluo Luo hesitated for a moment before retreating with Han Yu as well. Although she had completed a transaction with Su Xiao once, they had no friendship.

Su Xiao's ruthless fighting style made it clear that he was by no means softhearted.

The Contractors began to retreat, but they didn't leave immediately. After creating a safe distance, they watched the situation on the battlefield.

"Now, it's your turn."

Su Xiao lightly shook the Dragon Slayer Flash, flinging off the tissue stuck to it from Gecko's body. The blade gleamed like fresh snow.

After several battles, Su Xiao had discovered that the Dragon Slayer Flash was an excellent weapon. Although it was only a white piece of equipment, its rating was extremely high, reaching the limit for white equipment: a rating of 10.

This taught him one thing: equipment with a full rating was generally quite good, even if it was white equipment.

It was easy to imagine how overwhelming the attributes of a green or blue piece of equipment with a full rating would be. As for equipment of a higher level, Su Xiao had never heard of any yet.

However, he could be certain that equipment of even higher levels existed.

The murderous aura radiating from Su Xiao made Rize take two steps back. At this moment, this Big Eater looked somewhat pitiful.

If Rize wiped the blood from her face, Su Xiao would look like a complete villain, bullying a "weak woman."

But Rize wasn't a weak woman. She was a Ghoul who ate humans. No matter how beautiful she was, she was still a Ghoul.

"Don't come any closer. We have no grudge between us, right? How about letting me go?"

Rize used the most helpless method she could think of: negotiating peace. Gecko's headless corpse was still lying on the ground, and a head-on battle was clearly impossible.

Su Xiao put away the green Treasure Chest Gecko had dropped and smiled at Rize.

"Let you go? What's in it for me?"

Rize hesitated for a while. Killing intent filled her eyes, but in the end, she threw him a flirtatious glance.

The numerous Contractors in the distance felt extremely unbalanced after seeing this.

In front of them, Rize Kamishiro was absolutely a BOSS-level existence. Yet before Su Xiao, she had to sell herself to survive. How was that fair?

Unfair? They only saw how powerful Su Xiao was now. Back when Su Xiao had been in the One Piece World, he had been struggling at every step.

In a world overrun by "monsters," assassinating the king of a country was difficult enough to imagine.

Su Xiao's actual strength now far exceeded his Lv. 2 level, which was why he could completely overwhelm an S-Rank Ghoul.

What was more, in Su Xiao's view, the world had never been fair. The only fair thing was that everyone would die.

Su Xiao looked at Rize Kamishiro with interest and slowly walked toward her.

Rize hesitated briefly before walking toward Su Xiao as well, but she didn't retract her Kagune.

Rize had confidence in her appearance. She had once used her beauty to bewitch countless men, but those men had all met miserable ends, becoming food on her plate.

Five meters, three meters, one meter.

Su Xiao raised his left hand and gently caressed Rize's cheek.

The four dark-red Kagune behind Rize gradually gathered strength. Red light radiated from their surfaces as they prepared to strike.

"Die."

The four Kagune suddenly burst forth, stabbing toward Su Xiao's back in a ring formation like four iron hooks.

"Splurt."

The sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh rang out. The long blade in Su Xiao's hand had pierced Rize's heart.

Rize's red eyes gradually widened. Cruelty, madness, and a trace of fear appeared in them—the fear of death.

"I knew it."

Rize gave a bitter laugh and looked helplessly at the long blade that had already pierced her. The Dragon Slayer Flash had passed directly through her heart, its tip stained with blood.

"A man like you really isn't easy to seduce."

The astonishing pain of her burning Rc Cells struck her, and Rize bent forward.

Su Xiao gripped the hilt with one hand and pressed his other hand against the back of the blade, shoving it forcefully to the side.

The Dragon Slayer Flash tore through Rize's chest like a hot knife through butter, bursting out beneath her armpit.

"Splash."

A large amount of blood sprayed onto the ground. Rize's body went limp, her Kagune dispersing into the air as she sagged toward Su Xiao.

From beginning to end, there had been no desire in Su Xiao's eyes. Being seduced by a woman during battle was simply brain-dead beyond belief.

At that moment, Reincarnation Paradise actually issued Su Xiao a prompt.

Warning: Hunter is attempting to kill the important plot character Rize Kamishiro. Before the target dies, remove the Kagune Core from her body to ensure the continuation of the plot.

Su Xiao nodded. This was within his expectations.

With a thud, Rize collapsed at Su Xiao's feet and began breathing heavily. Blood spread across the pristine white tiles.

Su Xiao crouched down. The long blade in his hand moved hesitantly above Rize.

He wasn't very familiar with the exact location of her Kagune Core. According to the information from the original story, it should be near her kidneys.

Su Xiao simply cut an opening in Rize's lower abdomen and began searching for the location of her Kagune Core.

Rize let out a pained groan and looked at Su Xiao with a trace of fear.

In Rize's eyes, the man before her might be a pervert who intended to torture her before killing her.

"Stop."

A woman's voice rang out. Several figures emerged from the pitch-black corridor behind Su Xiao.

At the front was a short person wrapped entirely in bandages, wearing loose clothing and a hood. Because of the bandages covering them, Su Xiao couldn't see their appearance.
