After speaking, Arima glanced in Akira Mado's direction.

It was clear that Mado was still very scared, but even with her fear, she maintained enough rationality and a degree of composure.

This child still has potential!

In a short time, Arima made a definition of Akira Mado in his mind, then he reached out and grabbed Akira Mado's wrist.

"As the hosts, perhaps we were indeed a bit impolite."

But as a guest, it's not reasonable to lay a hand on the host's child, Mr. Gawain.

So, don't let the children participate in what follows!

As they were talking, Arima pulled Akira Mado him, patted her on the shoulder, and told her to leave.

Then, Arima looked at the silent Gawain and continued.

"Our children have already been sent abroad, what about yours?"

"Little girl, what's your name?"

He said to Touka with a smile.

When Arima asked her a question, Touka wrinkled her nose and suddenly stood up.

"Touka, Touka Kirishima!"

Touka was initially a little scared, but Arima Touka, all of her fear vanished!

Why?

Why would someone who would be afraid of ordinary investigators not be afraid of Arima Kishou, the strongest CCG member who has never been defeated in over a decade of service?

Because Arima Kishou once killed Touka's mother!

As everyone knows, the SS-rank ghoul Crow in the Anteiku coffee shop, also Yomo Renji, is Touka Kirishima's uncle.

Yomo Renji boldly challenged Arima Kishou and failed. The reason Yomo challenged Arima was because Arima killed Yomo's sister!

Who is Touka's uncle's older sister?

She's Touka's mother!!!

Looking at Arima before her, Touka's body trembled even more violently, but this time the trembling was no longer from fear, but from an overwhelming and intense hatred!!!

Noticing the hatred in Touka's eyes, Arima frowned, then took a deep breath.

"Look at me as if I were the murderer of my father."

So, did I kill your family, ghoul?

Let me think... Kirishima... that surname seems somewhat familiar.

Unfortunately, I'm afraid I can't remember.

After all, I've killed way too many ghouls!!!

The instant those words were spoken, the Quinque box in Arima's hand suddenly transformed!

The next moment, the suddenly appearing kagune quickly transformed into a lance, and the tip of the lance, entangled with the writhing kagune, pierced straight towards Gawain's eye!

Since even after I've repeatedly tried to persuade you, you still won't let the girl beside you leave.

Then let me, the former One-Eyed King, witness the power and magnanimity of the next One-Eyed King, who, despite his burdens, is still recognized by Eto!!!

Fueled by a faint anger and a heart full of anticipation, Arima's eyes gleamed, and the tip of his spear was about to pierce Gawain's eyeball!

In the distance, everyone watching widened their eyes the instant Arima his move, not wanting to miss a single detail!

That's Arima Kishou! He's the CCG Grim Reaper who defeated One-Eyed Owl at the age of nineteen and even severed both of One-Eyed Owl's arms!

Such a legendary investigator is practically the idol of all the new generation of investigators in the entire CCG!!!

Soon!

We're getting closer!

We're even closer!!!

In everyone's eyes, Arima's spear pierced Gawain's eye!

In that instant, some of the young investigators began to raise their hands in celebration!

Even Akira Mado, who was jogging while constantly glancing back at the moon, was somewhat astonished that Gawain had been stabbed so easily!

But...

Before the fans could even rejoice at seeing their idol stab the enemy, they were shocked by what happened next.

In front of all of Arima's fans, Gawain, whose eyeball had been pierced by Arima's Quinque, remained completely still!

The next moment...

Clang!!!

A resounding crash, like the booming of a great bell, echoed outwards!

Before Gawain's eyes, Arima's incredulous gaze was conveyed through his glasses!

At this Arima truly understood why Eto believed he should ask that question!

My own S+ level Quinque IXA can't even damage the enemy's eyeball?!

I clearly aimed at the opponent's lens, but I couldn't even penetrate it!!!

For a moment, the scene froze completely. Arima was holding the Quinque God's box in his right hand, and his left hand was gripping the Quinque ixa blankly. As for himself...

He felt as powerless as Donquixote trying to defy windmills!

In the instant Arima froze, Gawain raised his left hand and gently pinched the tip of the ixa's gun.

"Arima Kishou, right? As expected of the strongest CCG Shinigami, your attacks are very powerful, much stronger than Eto's!"

The moment he finished speaking, Gawain suddenly stood up.

At the same time, Arima pulled Ixa away from Gawain's grasp and immediately jumped back two steps, moving slightly away from Gawain's side.

Immediately afterwards, Arima's left hand trembled.

Instantly, ixa, which had been shaped like a lance, transformed into a knight's shield.

At the same time, Arima Kishou flicked his right hand.

The spirit he held in his right hand instantly transformed into a longsword with an electric current gathering at its tip!

With a knight's shield in one hand and a knight's sword in the other, Arima Kishou gritted his teeth and recalled the battle when he was nineteen!

In that battle, he was not yet the One-Eyed King, and he did not possess the excellent Quinques he has now, all of whom are at least S-rank.

That night, he only had three B-grade Quinque Yukimura combination knives, but with these three knives, he managed to break both of One-Eyed Owl's arms!

Now, he has better weapons, but also stronger enemies!

Arima couldn't help but glance at the Quinque in his hand.

ixa, Narukami.

Is today... the day we must all go to our deaths together?

With that thought, Arima's body completely transformed into a beam of light.

As the floor cracked slightly, Arima suddenly attacked Gawain's left side. He raised his shield for a brief defense, while his right hand thrust the Narukami straight towards Gawain's heart!

Previously, it was impossible to pierce the lens; perhaps the enemy's kagune was gathered inside the enemy's lens?

If it were the chest, under the ribs, under the armpits, or the genitals, etc.

Could it be that the enemy's kagune can affect the entire enemy's body invisibly???

As Arima speculated, his longsword pierced Gawain's body again and again!

He had grasped all of Gawain's weaknesses that could be hit, and desperately tried to inflict even the slightest damage on Gawain!

In the distance, Director Washuu and the other senior investigators arrived late to the scene and were shocked by what they saw.

Gawain stood there with a smile, while Arima, like a carefree monkey, jumped and leaped around Gawain's body!

Jingle bells!

The incessant sound was like the clanging of iron.

And the occasional bursts of electricity and sparks were even more like that!

Upon seeing this scene, Iwao Kuroiwa gasped in shock.

"Damn it, Arima's Quinque isn't even breaking through the defense!"

That's Narukami!?!

"Hey!"

Just as Iwao Kuroiwa was speaking, Gawain finally couldn't resist making a move.

He reached down with his left hand and grabbed Arima's sword blade!

Gawain pinched Narukami and pouted in annoyance.

"That's enough for now. You don't really want to stab my genitals, do you?"

Let me tell you, I'm no match for you, and I don't have any weaknesses.

But no matter what, don't even think about getting your big sword close to my vitals.

Otherwise, people will die, Arima!

The moment the words left his mouth, Gawain's empty right hand swung out lightly!

Seeing that seemingly effortless punch, Arima's forehead instantly broke out in a bead of sweat!

He swiftly raised his shield to block, and Gawain's fist landed lightly on Arima's shield...

Boom!!!

As the hurricane swept through, Arima's figure flew backward instantly, smashing through three layers of walls until he finally managed to stop in the CCG's courtyard!

In the distance, Itsuki Marude gasped!

"No, Arima's left arm is broken. He couldn't even withstand one punch from the enemy with Ixa. Is this the Super Ghoul codenamed Azure Dragon?!"

"Yeah, this is the first time I've ever seen... Arima's Quinque was completely destroyed by a single punch!"

No, Arima's current weapons can't penetrate his defenses, and his defensive equipment is no match for them!

To fight the enemy, he needs at least better armor and shields, and sharper weapons!!!

Just as Kiyoko Aura said this, Arima was in the distance, suddenly raised the long sword in his right hand the instant he stopped.

Despite the pain of his broken left arm, Arima's Narukami in his right hand rapidly transformed into a hand cannon brimming with countless energies!

The next moment.

Boom!!!

A barrage of fire, a mixture of electric current and laser beams, erupted from Narukami's cannon, hurtling straight toward Gawain's head.

At the same time, Arima didn't think Narukami's artillery fire would cause Gawain any trouble.

Even though the cannon fire had just been released, Arima quickly tossed Narukami aside after firing a shot, and then pulled out his most hidden weapon from his waist!

Meanwhile, right in front of all the top-tier experts focused on the battlefield.

Facing the oncoming artillery fire, Gawain gently raised his left hand.

Flutter!

With a soft click, Gawain actually grabbed the plasma bomb in his hand.

Pfft.

With another soft click, the plasma bomb completely dissipated in Gawain's hand.

Watching the plasma bomb vanish into thin air, the special agents felt a chill run down their spines. If even Narukami couldn't harm an enemy, then even ordinary bombs probably wouldn't be able to cause any damage!!!

Meanwhile, among the top-ranked students, Tanaka let out a deep breath.

"Arima has already used that weapon, everyone should be ready to provide support!"

I haven't seen Death in this state for many years, but I actually feel that even Death in this state wouldn't be able to accomplish anything.

It seems today truly is the day we are to sacrifice ourselves!!!

"Yes, this day has finally come!"

Iwao Kuroiwa responded, then quickly gave his orders: the top-ranking investigators present were to immediately disperse and take away all the trainees and lower-ranking investigators!

If Arima can't stop today's disaster, then if necessary, someone will do everything in their power to keep the enemy inside the CCG building!

This place has always been rigged with enough explosives to destroy half of Tokyo. Even if I can't defeat my opponent, I'll at least take him with me to the grave!

Before we die, we must take good care of the CCG's flame!!!

In this atmosphere of despair, the top students all pulled out their quinques.

Meanwhile, in the distant courtyard...

Arima Kishou stood proudly, his left hand hanging limply at his sides, blood still spurting from his mouth.

He held a long spear in his right hand, held it backwards, and with his white hair flowing in the wind, he Arima Zilong without a horse!

As for the gun in his hand, it was an SSS-level weapon, and the only SSS-level Quinque in the entire CCG!

The strongest weapon is in the hands of the strongest person. At this moment, Arima is truly at Arima strongest!

As for that gun, it's named after that Quink!

That gun has only one character in its name: Owl!

The materials used to make this gun were the two arms of the One-Eyed Owl that Arima himself severed Arima nineteen years old!!!

Looking at Arima Kishou's imposing aura, Gawain narrowed his eyes with admiration.

No matter how weak a world may be, the strongest beings in every world will always be so brilliant and dazzling.

Arima Kishou, a genius who was born with a half-human identity.

Even though they were half-human, they were able to suppress ghouls in Tokyo for an entire era with physical strength and lifespan far inferior to that of half-ghouls...

If Arima hadn't been controlled by the Washuu Clan even in his birth and death, then he probably would have truly been qualified to organize and control an era.

It's a pity that the Washuu Clan has such strong control over this city!

And the Washuu Clan, just how many geniuses have they wasted...?

Just as Gawain was pondering, Arima had already sprinted ahead in the distance.

Even without a legendary steed, he still exuded the aura of a white-horse general, Arima only with a spear.

He burst through the wall, his longsword and spear tip heading straight for Gawain's palm.

At this moment, he didn't exploit any weaknesses, because the Owl weapon and Arima full potential weren't created for despicable attacks on weaknesses!!!

At this moment, he was determined to go head-to-head!

A silent sprint, a silent attack; Arima is a silent man, he never lets out a frantic shout.

But at this moment, everyone who was paying attention to this battle heard Arima's inner voice.

Perhaps it's a one-way trip, a journey with no turning back!

This shot...

This shot!!!

Teng!!!

Before the spear even pierced Gawain's skin, its tip... was already firmly grasped by Gawain's hand!

That's all for now.

The reason I came to CCG is to let you meet me so that you know what to do next.

At the same time, I also came here specifically to see you, Arima.

You bastard, you seem to have killed the mother of one of my girls in the past.

So whether it's a sincere apology or a death sentence, it doesn't matter.

I think you should come with me to pay your respects at the child's mother's grave!

At this point, Gawain picked up Arima by the barrel of Xiao's gun.

The next moment.

Bang!

Arima was thrown to the ground and completely lost his fighting ability.

Immediately afterwards, Gawain patted Touka on the shoulder.

"Take this guy back and pay your respects at your mother's grave."

That's right!

At this point, Gawain suddenly turned to the other CCG members and spoke.

"CCG guys, I'm just a fair guy. Today I'm taking Arima to make him apologize to the ghouls."

So tomorrow, I will bring Eto, who is also known as One-Eyed Owl, here to make her apologize to you!

Wait for me."
