Lucia had been slowed down by the sudden turn of events but he kicked through the window and into the classroom
I’ll kill you
He attacked with his voice trembling with an intense rage one would never have imagined he was capable of
Black Cat had likely known he was on the clock tower The corners of her mouth bent in a grin and she pulled the claw from the boy’s stomach but the demon had already arrived right in front of her She swayed back from the blow with frightening reaction speed
However it was impossible for a human to match a demon A moment later a slash arrived from an impossible angle
Red metal had grown from the blackboard behind her It wrapped around her neck and tightened in the form of a scythe
Black Cut quickly used her steel claws as a shield to escape decapitation but she was still slammed into the blackboard The scythe continued approaching so she was unable to move
After dealing with his opponent in an instant the boy lost interest and ran over to Mutsuki
Yeah I can deal with a wound like this right away
He must have really been worried He was usually full of emotion but all he did was give a simple statement and open Mutsuki’s uniform
There would not have been much damage to the organs so he breathed a sigh of relief and placed a hand over the hole
His hand immediately melted like a sugar sculpture in water and it fused with Mutsuki’s stomach
The bleeding stopped He pressed deeper reached the boy’s back and filled that hole as well
Just as FeTUS had trouble with demons demons were nearly almighty when it came to the human body He used his hand to supplement Mutsuki’s flesh and blood
Black Cat of course knew he could do this
Heh heh heh
She smiled thinly with the tip of the scythe digging into her throat
The power of demons is the miracle of the Fruit of Life It sounds lovely doesn’t it I always have to wonder how many lives you could save if you used that power to serve the world of man
Keep your dirty mouth shut I’ll kill you once I’m done so sit tight
At the same time Satowa Lucia you were my biggest fear these past two weeks I hate to admit it but I have yet to find a simulation where I defeat you
She kicked at the wall behind her The blackboard bent creating a gap between the scythe and wall She used that to escape
Lucia did not even look back Even with a hand dealing with Mutsuki he was confident he could
kill the woman with his other hand if she approached
What is this
But more importantly something about Mutsuki required his attention
Something was not right The boy was unconscious but he was too calm He did not react in pain when Lucia touched the wound Even his breathing was perfectly calm
Lucia’s eyebrows twitched from a sense of foreboding and then his face paled
You What did you do
The skin of the arm on the wound tore like paper and blood spirted out Mutsuki’s stomach was the same The skin was falling apart as if it were melting
That’s a neuro-contamination program based on cobra venom Once it spreads to his entire body he will die
Dammit
The skin necrosis was visibly spreading One hand was not going to be enough so he also placed his other hand on the boy Both arms sank down and the necrosis finally stopped spreading
But that was suicidal He had sealed off use of both hands in front of the enemy and he was being quickly worn down as he induced regeneration quickly enough to fight the toxin Sweat poured from his entire body Heh heh Ha ha ha Ka ha ha ha ha ha ha ha The trick was getting that inside him That was why I drew Jiyuuni away from him If she had been here she could have bought enough time for you to show up Black Cut could not suppress her laughter and her vertical-pupil eyes opened as wide as possible
But it’s over now Once you’re suppressed I have nothing to fear I can-
The door opposite the previous window was opened and a new intruder cut her off
This time it was FeTUS Witches Miss E She was Black Cat’s colleague so Lucia grimaced
But Machina understood the situation so she ran over to Mutsuki and looked down at the stomach fused with Lucia’s arms
A chain-reaction ion channel interference program Miss C Use of this on humans was banned as inhumane
It was necessary as a countermeasure against a demon
Tell me the cancelation key The burden on his mind and body is immeasurable This could harm the progress of our plans
The program does not rearrange his DNAIt must hurt like a bitch though
Black Cat laughed sadistically in her throat
He would not die but he would constantly experience the pain of his organs melting away A normal mind could never endure that He had only lost consciousness for the time being due to the demon’s healing but that would not last forever Machina’s expression was cloudy for once She quietly muttered I’m sorry looked to Lucia and wordlessly confirmed something
Then she turned a sharp look in Black Cat’s direction
Tell me the cancelation key
I don’t think so
I Don’t Think So
Silence fell
Next a golden circle raced out from Machina’s feet and Black Cat laughed in her throat
