Old Friend

Boom!!!

The fight between Mo Bai and the infected Pioneer ended almost as soon as it began.

Click.

After driving the enemy deep into the floor, the Fusion creature, whose movements were stiff and eerie, tilted his neck with a strange crack.

"Shriek."

With Etu, a powerful Shikigami, fighting beside him, the former Pioneer was no match for Mo Bai.

"Next..."

Once the enemy could no longer move, Mo Bai brought Etu over to the Pioneer in the bulky spacesuit.

It was a dangerous thing to do.

The man might once have been a steadfast human Pioneer, but Void Matter had long since engulfed and consumed his entire body. Now he was nothing but a monster.

"Shriek."

At the command Mo Bai sent through his mind, Etu extended his enormous, razor-sharp claw.

Hum—

In an instant, white energy enveloped the enemy on the floor.

It was not Nue's lightning, but Round Deer's ability to emit Reversed Cursed Technique.

Reversed Cursed Energy became Positive Energy, which benefited humans and could purify Void Matter.

"Haa—"

This time, the Pioneer's breathing was still drawn out, but much of the noise in it had faded.

"Thank... you..."

Even with the Positive Energy Etu released, the Pioneer could recover only a sliver of himself.

Then his body began to dissolve into frequency.

Mo Bai was not surprised by the outcome.

The man had been entangled with Void Matter for far too long. Not just his flesh, but the frequency within him had fused with it completely.

The fact that he could speak clearly in a human language again was already a miracle.

"It's all right. I like heroes, and I like endings with some closure. Do you have any last wishes?"

Mo Bai's voice was perfectly calm.

He might as well have been asking someone
