Even after another layer of crystallization reinforced the sturdy basement, the kagune smashed it apart like tofu, scattering stone rubble and ice together across the surroundings.
Louis frowned and, without hesitation, pushed Elementalization as far as it would go.
He also had to learn how to fight an SSS-Rank Ghoul as quickly as possible. He could not meet one head-on as he would an SS-Rank Ghoul. His body would be shattered.
A centipede-like kagune covered Kaneki's face. The exposed half wore a savage expression, and an eerie killing intent radiated from his entire body.
But he soon caught the enticing scent hanging in the air. Clear liquid kept leaking between his teeth as he adopted a beastlike posture, lowering his center of gravity and turning his head repeatedly to find its source.
His savage gaze swept the surroundings, as though he intended to tear apart everything he saw.
Humans had plenty of clever ways to deal with beasts. This was a sparring match, so tricks were allowed, but he could not truly treat his opponent as an animal.
After all, that other opponent not only had higher stats than the person before him, but also extensive combat experience and the ability to think like a human.
The temperature plummeted. In the underground space now, never mind humans-even weaker ghouls would rapidly freeze stiff if they approached.
Yet Kaneki, in his kakuja form, seemed completely unaffected. Even the faint traces of frost that finally managed to form on his surface quickly melted away.
No wonder the system had sent Louis into this world. Calling ghouls his natural enemies would not be an exaggeration.
The heat a kakuja produces really is ridiculous. Forget gathering cold air inside your body-I can't even penetrate the outer layer of your kagune...
