Six black-and-red tentacles rapidly extended and contracted in midair, making the air crackle like firecrackers.
Boom!
The six tentacles slammed into the gravel-covered ground.
The earth, compacted solid over the years, was pierced straight through like tofu, while rings of cracks blasted across the ground, raising clouds of dust.
The feather-type Kagune extending from Yoshimura's spine slowly contracted, and the enormous tentacles that had pierced the ground withdrew with it, waving through the air like feelers.
He looked at the ground he had pierced with mild surprise, but Luo Shu was nowhere to be seen.
"He disappeared?"
"No, he was definitely standing there when I attacked... did he dodge at an extremely high speed?"
The Kagune on Yoshimura's back gradually spread over his entire body, forming a sturdy suit of Kagune armor, while a one-eyed mask that looked as though it were made of white bone formed over his face.
He opened his scarlet eye and looked around, soon finding Luo Shu completely unharmed.
At the sight, Yoshimura's heart sank.
"A speed-based opponent... this will be difficult..."
Holding the white metal carrying case, Luo Shu calmly studied the six cracked craters in the ground three meters ahead of him.
"Very fast attacks. A hundred meters per second, or even faster, but the range seems to be only thirty meters. Maximum range yet to be determined."
"So this is the Kagune that Ghouls use to fight?"
Luo Shu looked at the six tentacles behind Yoshimura. They were the combat organs belonging to Ghouls, known as Kagune.
As he spoke, he deliberately increased the distance between them, stopping as soon as he reached fifty meters.
Yoshimura silently watched him move, partly because the speed Luo Shu had just displayed left him uncertain, and partly because he was wary of Luo Shu's methods.
