Chapter 71
Charging towards the claws, he could hear the sound of air being torn apart, but the mist slightly obstructed his path, and the long blade had already pierced through his chest.
One.
The Twisted Nurse's body froze instantly. Yuki his sword, turned around, and then heard a gunshot 'bang' as a bullet from behind grazed her hair.
The nurse, who had already raised her claws, had her right leg broken, and her body leaned forward, only to be met with a gleaming blade.
Brain.
He cleaved the head in two, watching the red and white liquid splatter before his eyes. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a third and fourth nurse rushing out from around the corner, and he gripped the Chainsaw Greatsword tightly.
"Firepower!"
Bang bang bang bang...
As soon as the words were spoken, the gunfire suddenly intensified. Before the two Twisted Nurse could accelerate, the flaming bullets had already set them ablaze, making them sway like burning flowers.
Yuki swung his hand in a wide arc, throwing his whistling greatsword, which, like a flying circular saw, severed the two men at their waists.
It wasn't fatal, but the blade followed closely behind.
Pfft.
Two muffled thuds, precise thrusts, taking the lives of two more demons. With a quick step, he used the wall for leverage, like a gecko, and with his lowered right hand, he drew his greatsword and twisted his waist.
The Death Windmill.
Swish swish swish swish.
He spun around, his greatsword cleaving through monsters, his longsword reaping their lives. And when he couldn't keep up, gunshots would always ring out at just the right moment, stunning the monsters. Before they could recover, the greatsword would strike again.
The corridor had been restored to its slaughterhouse state, except this time the ground was covered with twisted demon corpses, densely packed and stretching into the distance.
The Tyrant, shielding Shiina Hiyori they stepped over the corpses, stared at the figure ahead with a mixture of doubt and acceptance.
Thomas didn't overwhelm the demon with sheer power as expected, but in terms of results, wasn't he impressive?
Blasting a demon to smithereens is death, and so is a precise reaping.
Overload Mode. Storm Cut.
Boom!
Invisible blades spread, slicing flesh to shreds. However, these monsters were much stronger than before, their arms crossed to protect their vitals, so simply slicing away flesh was ineffective.
Yuki that he didn't even hear the notification that his Bladed Weapon Proficiency had reached an excellent level. He quickly took a sip of Quiet Dew after forcing the demons back.
He used his last enhancement point to forge the potion, and the forging effect was simple and brutal.
The capacity has doubled to 60 ml, but it's not very useful under normal circumstances.
"But this kind of protracted warfare is extremely useful!"
Yuki was now both furious and calm; he didn't choose to charge forward because there were simply too many monsters ahead.
Several operating room doors opened, and a dozen or so Twisted Nurse crowded the corridor. Their speed was quite fast; if he were surrounded, Yuki wouldn't be able to react at all. Fortunately, the corridor was narrow, allowing him to take them down one by one.
'Why are there so many nurses? Where are the doctors?'
The thought flashed through my mind, and I saw the nurses stand on tiptoe. At the same time, a roar came from behind me.
"Get down!"
Having regained his composure, Yuki didn't hesitate at all, lying face down on the ground. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the Tyrant walk around the corner and combine his two pistols.
The pistol, which originally resembled Beretta 92F, transformed and reassembled into a somewhat futuristic-looking launcher, and the dazzling beam of light made Yuki close his eyes.
Combustion.
Call out--
A bright light illuminated the dimly lit corridor. The Tyrant gripped his guns in both hands as if they were flamethrowers. A streak of fire Piercer the corridor, triggering the fire alarm and unleashing a torrential downpour from the fire sprinklers.
The water droplets evaporated upon contact with the flames, forming a thick fog. Three seconds later, the Tyrant finally lowered his gun, panting heavily.
No, these demons have too high a defense; I can't just burn them to ashes.
He saw a dozen or so human-shaped torches in the corridor. They were emitting sharp cries and swaying as they stumbled forward. With each step, their charred body tissue fell off like melting wax.
"Retreat first, let me cool down."
The Tyrant had barely opened his mouth when he saw the figure who had just been lying down suddenly leap up, rush into the white mist, and walk on the embers.
Piercing the chest, breaking the head, snapping the waist.
It was still a simple and unadorned killing spree, calmly sending the blade to the vitals, but the figure in the fire seemed incredibly ferocious, charging forward recklessly, unstoppable.
The Tyrant stopped retreating, exchanged a glance with Shiina Hiyori, and instinctively stepped into the fire, his eyes fixed on the devastating scene before him:
Fire and sword, blade and blood!
Chapter Twenty: The Butcher Doctor (Second Update)
The anomaly occurred without warning, leaving no time for thought whatsoever.
But Yuki knew that they absolutely could not stop or retreat at this moment; they had triggered the instance's self-defense mechanism.
Since it was a man-made disaster, and since there was a mastermind, there must have been tests. Every second we lingered increased the danger.
"Get in the elevator first, no matter what."
"This is the passage provided to players by the Reincarnation Game. No matter which strategy you use, you must go through it, so it's absolutely safe!"
Yuki's mind was clear; he didn't believe that the rules of this Demon Hospital could supersede the Reincarnation Game.
With his Chainsaw Sword nearing its Limit, Yuki quickly sheathed it. The Quiet Dew couldn't alleviate his physical fatigue, so he gripped the Nameless Longsword in one hand and hurried through the corridor.
The Nameless Longsword has no special abilities, but it also has no side effects; it is simply Lightness, sharp, and sturdy.
Yuki liked this simplicity. Its lethality was average, but with the enhancement of the Demon Eye, it was enough to pierce the monster's vitals.
After passing through the fire, the corridor ahead appeared empty. Through the 'rain curtain', he could see the entrance hall ahead, but at this moment, Yuki paused again.
"They've come, just as I expected."
The Tyrant was a few steps behind, stopped with Shiina Hiyori, but their faces did not show any surprise.
Players have gotten used to this from numerous battles; in this hospital, any attempt to escape will inevitably result in encountering a tough opponent.
The first time was a horrifying chunk of flesh, the second was Human Centipede, and this third time...
"The Butcher Doctor?"
Yuki and the Tyrant licked their lips simultaneously as a massive figure blocked the entrance hall.
It was about three meters tall, with skinless, scarlet muscles and bulging veins. Its head was bent at a ninety-degree angle and rested on its shoulder, and its face was even more terrifying.
Several distorted faces appeared alternately on the head, howling in pain and radiating boundless malice.
This was a butcher, yet he was wearing a tattered white coat covered in countless bloody handprints, and his thick right arm was raised, gripping a Scalpel magnified dozens of times.
The blade, originally shaped like a willow leaf, now resembled a greatsword, both terrifying and cruel.
"Can you cover me while also blocking those Twisted Nurse?"
Yuki raised his Nameless Longsword, feeling the slight boost from the Chainsaw Sword gradually fading.
The Tyrant did not answer. He glanced at the terrifying figures that had passed through the embers behind him; they were all nurses who had gathered from other operating rooms.
He lowered his eyes and raised his two pistols.
"Able."
With just one word, Yuki didn't ask any more questions. He raised his right foot, took his first step, and magnified the Butcher Doctor in his field of vision.
It's very strong, even stronger than the previous two. Even if I were at my peak right now, I wouldn't be confident at all. A powerful individual can't even meet the concept of a Mystic Code.
Warming and sheathing the sword were both for this moment; the oppressive aura didn't cause his steps to tremble in the slightest, because Yuki entering this hospital—
There is no choice but to move forward!
Bang!
Gunshots and footsteps rang out simultaneously. Just as the nurse at the front was frozen into an ice sculpture, a blurry figure darted out.
Physical Enhancement. Full power.
The floor developed obvious cracks, as if a slingshot had launched Yuki away, so fast that it was invisible to the naked eye.
Bite--
The crisp sound of metal clashing echoed, Yuki felt a tremendous force coming from his arm, causing the blue lines on his forearm to brighten for a moment.
What immense power!
The localized enhancements were distributed across the hands and feet; the sprint and slashes had reached their Limit, yet even so, the entire person flew out like a kite.
He adjusted his posture in mid-air, his feet touching the wall. He looked up and saw the Butcher Doctor approaching like a storm, leaping in front of him in an instant.
Wow, that was fast.
The bright Scalpel reflected his face. Yuki didn't flinch, but instead growled:
"Left chest."
Bang!
A large ball of flame exploded on the blade. The Butcher Doctor quickly withdrew the blade to parry, the immense inertia causing his body to lean back slightly, and the blade was blackened by the smoke.
Does this thing even have intelligence, knowing how to block?
Clatter.
Before Yuki could think, he pushed off the wall with both legs and slashed at the monster's shoulder, feeling a strange sensation in his palm.
Similar to chunks of meat, the blade seemed to cut into highly resilient clay, only penetrating a few inches before becoming difficult to penetrate further. The difference was that it possessed a skeleton, a skeleton as hard as steel.
With a twist of his wrist, he quickly drew the knife, and with a flourish of the blade, reversed his grip and stabbed it viciously into his own groin.
Puff.
An open palm was Piercer. This hand was supposed to grab Yuki's ankle and slam him against the wall. It seemed to have not expected Yuki's reaction to be so fast, and its body sluggishly slowed down.
He twisted the knife, severing several fingers, then pressed it down on the monster's shoulder. Yuki rolled and landed behind the monster, back to back, before collapsing backward without hesitation.
Ugh--
The giant sword, slashing back, grazed past the tip of his nose, slicing a huge gap in the corridor with a loud 'boom'. There was no fear, or rather, no time for lingering dread; he simply kicked off with both legs.
Lying Slash.
The once incredibly brave Yuki suddenly turned cunning, targeting the monster's lower body, slashing into its calf and gliding across its ankle, causing the Butcher Doctor's massive body to retreat continuously.
Only by disrupting the balance could he Piercer its left chest, but at that moment, he saw the Butcher Doctor's constantly shifting face suddenly freeze, its appearance so lifelike, like an abstract painting—
The Scream.
"Ya ya ya--"
A piercingly sharp sound rang out, cutting a gap in the dark green mist that filled the corridor, and also Piercer the gray mist surrounding Yuki.
Mental Impact!
Even though Demon Possession provides some resistance to Mental Impact, Yuki felt as if steel needles were being driven into his brain. The sharp pain made his vision go black for a moment, and he could only instinctively raise his hand and slap the ground to bounce himself up.
Bang!!
A moment later, the physical pain overwhelmed the mental breakdown. Yuki felt as if he were flying, crashing heavily into the wall, and then bouncing several times on the ground.
He swallowed the blood that welled up in his throat, struggled to open his blackened eyes, and saw the Butcher Doctor posing as if kicking a soccer ball. Luckily, he had just sprang up and was only hit by the shin.
Thump.
Its powerful right leg landed, and then it charged forward, its back bursting with ice and sparks, ignoring the Tyrant's shot.
Knock knock knock knock.
Each step he took made the building tremble slightly, and in just a moment he was right in front of Yuki. He glanced at the battlefield and gripped his sword tightly.
The Tyrant has been taken down by the nurse, who is Gun-Kata to fight him. Because she can't find his weakness accurately, she has to use all her strength for every shot. It's already quite good if she can free her hands to fire two shots.
One-on-one, no, it's two-on-one.
At that moment, a figure suddenly rushed towards the elevator. It was Shiina Hiyori, who had been almost invisible, as if taking this opportunity to escape. But the Butcher Doctor, who had already rushed up to her, suddenly stopped and took a step to catch up.
In an instant, the girl felt the hairs on her body stand on end. A huge shadow loomed over her from behind. Without a doubt, the Butcher Doctor could crush her into mincemeat with a flick of his finger.
