Looking at the empty-handed Lancer, Sen Takatsuki under the mask grinned, and at the same time, her expression became extremely frenzied.
"Let me taste your flavor!!"
Along with Sen Takatsuki's roar, countless Kagune swept towards Lancer, but she forgot one thing: although Lancer had lost his weapon, he was not injured, and dodging was still easy for him.
Then, the CCG personnel witnessed an extremely incredible scene: Lancer actually ran around the 'Owl' for half a circle empty-handed and then actively charged towards her.
Did Lancer want to seek death?
Naturally impossible, and at the same time, he didn't want to expose the fact that he could use 'magic', after all, if it was exposed, the trouble would probably be endless.
Aside from his somewhat 'BUG' talent in spear techniques, Lancer other aspects were only at the level of an ordinary person, so his two teachers had been infuriated several times to the point of wanting to purge their students, but he had at least learned some things from his two teachers, such as that given enough time, he could still draw ordinary Rune symbols, and he also learned the simplest move from Li Shuwen.
"Bang!!"
Accompanied by a terrifying sound, the ground beside Sen Takatsuki was directly shattered by the stomp, and Lancer himself took a sharp breath. His right hand, as if it were the long spear in his hand, fiercely struck towards Sen Takatsuki.
"Be careful!!"
Everyone present did not think Lancer move would be useful, except for one person –––––– Tatara.
As a ghoul born in the Celestial Empire, he knew a group of people in that ancient country better than anyone present –––––– martial artists.
They possessed strength sufficient to threaten ghouls when not using Quinque, and many of them could even break through the ghoul's tough body and directly damage their internal organs, and the Celestial Empire's officials had dispatched many such martial artists in the subjugation battle where his older brother was killed.
Their movements were agile, and even those hunched-over old people could erupt with terrifying power capable of instantly killing an A-rated ghoul. Although the physical qualities of SSS-rated ghouls are much stronger than A-rated ones, the strengthening of their internal organs is very limited, and the consequences would be unimaginable if they were hit.
But unfortunately, even though Tatara had warned, it was already too late.
"Buzz~!"
"Boom!!!"
Everyone first heard a sound of air being cut, followed by a sound like an explosion of dynamite, and then saw the over two-meter tall 'Owl' being forcibly sent flying by Lancer punch.
"Noro! Kill that investigator!"
"..."
Facing Tatara's command, Noro, who had been standing silently by the side from the start, erupted with several Kagune towards Lancer, undoubtedly intending to block his pursuit, but they guessed wrong.
Lancer himself was only a 'half-skilled hand'; even that last blow was executed by utilizing the point that 'Bājíquán and the Bājí Grand Spear have commonalities'. If he were really asked to perform a set of punches, it would just be for show, and in actual combat, he could only be a 'One-Punch Man'; after this move, he has nothing left.
While dodging Noro's attack, Lancer also temporarily retreated to Kureo Mado and the others' side, after all, it was too troublesome without a weapon now.
But at this moment, the 'Owl' that was punched into the wall suddenly let out an incredibly creepy laugh, and then ––––––
"Slap~!"
A huge 'arm' extended out from the nearly 3-meter large hole, and then a 'one-eyed monster' nearly 10 meters long and over 5 meters tall peeked its head out from the large hole.
"What... is that thing?!"
The investigators present couldn't help but scream, but Lancer looked calmly at the 'Owl' in the distance. He knew that he probably couldn't continue to hide anymore.
If under normal circumstances ghouls were strengthened humans with Kagune, whose physical qualities and regeneration abilities were greatly enhanced, once they transformed into the so-called 'Kakuja' mode, they completely became another species. Aside from the 'main body' buried deep in a large amount of Kagune, they had no weaknesses.
No matter how severe the injury, as long as the main body was not hit, they could recover.
As soon as 'it' peeked its head out, 'it' quickly locked onto Lancer who was standing among the crowd. Its four limbs were on the ground, and it charged straight towards Lancer like a real beast. The other investigators standing beside Lancer didn't even have time to escape, but at this moment ––––––
"Sizzle~!!"
Accompanied by the sound of metal friction, a figure similar to the 'Owl' blocked the 'Owl's' path.
And a group of people wearing red monkey or black canine masks appeared beside the numerous investigators at some point. They either pulled or dragged, quickly leading the crowd away, and a person wearing a rabbit mask directly appeared behind Lancer and picked up Ryouko Fueguchi, who was wearing Lancer jacket.
The other party glanced at Lancer twice, then left the scene with her without a word, disappearing into the darkness.
However, it was obvious that the people present had no time to deal with Ryouko Fueguchi, because their attention was already focused on the two 'Owls' who were 'wrestling' in the battlefield at this time.
"'Owl'... there are two?"
Earlier, because Lancer hit Sen Takatsuki, Tatara did not hesitate to be fiercely slashed by Kureo Mado to shake off the siege of the latter and Koutarou Amon, and only then did Kureo Mado have the leisure to exclaim about the two 'Owls' currently fighting.
And it was also at this time that he finally understood many things.
He had always been very puzzled before: why would that brutal ghoul choose to cooperate with the CCG? And now the answer was finally revealed.
The 'Owl' who attacked his wife and attacked countless investigators was not the same ghoul as the 'Owl' who cooperated with the CCG, but even with this understanding, the 'doubt points' were still not completely eliminated. For example, the real 'Owl' had indeed not shown up in public for a long time; this was the first time. So why didn't the other party show up?
Was it just a mere coincidence? Or was there some connection between these two Owls?
Kureo Mado really hoped the answer was the first one, but his intuition kept telling him the answer should be the second one.
And ––––––
Looking around, although they were well hidden, Kureo Mado still saw the figures of many ghouls. Unsurprisingly, the 'Black Dober' and 'Devil Ape' under the 'Owl' who cooperated with the CCG had also gathered.
Kureo Mado did not know how the 'Owl' and his subordinates, the 'Black Dober' and 'Devil Ape', knew that a battle had occurred here, but undoubtedly the Aogiri Tree belonging to the other 'Owl' should also be on their way, right?
Kureo Mado even suspected whether this place would directly turn into a battlefield of a mixed fight between three ghoul organizations.
'No, I must notify the headquarters to increase reinforcements and prepare to recapture the 11th Ward!'
Signaling Koutarou Amon with his eyes to use his tall physique to shield him, he took out his communicator and began to edit a message to send back to the headquarters, but unfortunately, the development of the battlefield often does not completely change according to people's thoughts.
Yoshimura Kuzen's individual combat power when he served as the 'Cleaner' under the 'Organization' was undoubtedly at its peak, and now, even though he had more experience, his physical strength, regeneration ability, and even fighting spirit had declined significantly, not to mention that the opponent in front of him was once his own daughter; he could not fight with all his strength.
The 'One-Eyed Owl', like a monster, couldn't help but let out a victorious cheer after forcibly pushing Yoshimura Kuzen away, but this sound was forcibly interrupted as soon as it rang out.
Lancer, who had temporarily withdrawn from the battlefield, had reappeared in the battlefield. He had used the time Yoshimura Kuzen bought to retrieve his weapons –––––– the Bursting Long Spear and the Gáe Bolg.
Both long spears were red, but the feeling they gave was completely opposite.
The Bursting Long Spear was overall orange-red, with an extremely dazzling crimson at the spearhead, while the Gáe Bolg was blood-red, like a murderer choosing its prey, instead giving people a feeling of coldness.
And Lancer stood by, waiting for an opportunity, and when Yoshimura Kuzen was sent flying by the opponent, Lancer, who had been performing the same movement for several minutes, was like a statue instantly waking up. From extreme stillness to extreme motion took only one second, and the orange-red long spear was fiercely thrown out by Lancer.
"Puchi~!"
The terrifying keratin skin, which was enough to withstand the attack of an A-rated Quinque, did not play much of a defensive role under this blow and was directly pierced through, and then a red light also lit up simultaneously.
"Get down!!"
"Bang!!"
After the huge roar, when everyone looked at the 'Owl' again, they couldn't help but open their mouths wide, because what they saw was a 'monster' with a small half of its body blown up, but this was not the most terrifying and disgusting thing.
The most nauseating thing was that the red Kagune on the monster, which had a small half of its body blown up, constantly writhed like human muscle fibers, then danced and gathered together.
Seeing this scene, an investigator closest to it swung his Quinque without hesitation and charged towards the 'Owl'. Seeing the hatred in his eyes, one knew that he had family or comrades who died at the hands of the Owl, but at this moment, a hand grabbed his collar and forcibly dragged him back.
He was almost choked to death by being forcibly dragged back when he was charging, but before he could curse, he felt a strong gust of wind pass before his eyes.
"Calm down! Although this guy's appearance has a 'head', its 'core' is not necessarily its head. Even though it lost a small half of its body, it still hasn't lost its combat ability. Now... just leave it to me first."
After saying that, he fiercely threw the other party towards Koutarou Amon. Koutarou Amon also opened his arms and caught him, and then saw Lancer, holding the blood-colored long spear, had already rushed to the side of the 'One-Eyed Owl' and raised the long spear in his hand to fiercely stab at the side of the opponent's abdomen.
"Puchi~!!"
A blood stream splattered out...
