Lancer certainly didn't know who the opponent was talking about, but he was clear about what the opponent intended to do –––––– revenge.
And he had encountered too many people like this.
First, there were ghouls taking revenge for the ghouls he had killed, later came the aliens who called him the 'demon', and the Orcs who spoke unknown languages but roared while wielding battle axes. They were all people seeking revenge on him.
Lancer had enough respect for these 'revengers', but that couldn't change their final outcome –––– dying under his spear. This time would naturally be no exception.
Unlike ghouls who excelled at combat, this female ghoul in front of him, although she had decent strength, lacked experience. Not to mention that she wasn't using Kagune at all but was fighting him with a Quinque, which made her look very awkward during the fight.
'A ghoul fighting with a Quinque instead of Kagune, interesting, could it be...'
The spear tip, which was originally aimed at her heart, suddenly stabbed towards her brow. She seemed to try to block it with her weapon, but unfortunately, her speed was too slow. While the weapon was still in mid-air, the tip of the Gáe Bolg had already hit the target.
"Crack~!"
Lancer long spear did not pierce the enemy for the first time but shattered her mask. Two red Kakugan were extremely dazzling.
'Is she really a ghoul?'
Lancer had originally doubted whether the opponent was a ghoul, but these highly recognizable Kakugan had already confirmed her identity.
"Akira! She's yours!"
"Good!"
Although Akira Mado was charming, she was not a hothouse flower. In fact, quite the opposite, she was well-seasoned. So, after Lancer tested the strength of the ghoul called 'Grave Robber', he stopped bothering with her, because he had a more important target –––––– 'JAIL'.
Lancer had noticed the anomaly of the opponent earlier, starting with the 'Kagune'.
Normally, apart from 'Kakuja', no ghoul possesses Kagune other than their own, but the opponent had already attacked him with 'Ukaku' and 'Bikaku'. Lancer had reason to suspect that the opponent had two other types of Kagune. So, whether he was a 'Kakuja' or simply possessed four types of Kagune, it was enough to prove his abnormality.
When Lancer attacked the 'Grave Robber', the opponent had already locked onto Lancer as his target. It was clear that he saw Lancer unusual nature at a glance. After passing the 'Grave Robber', Lancer suddenly bent backward to dodge the Kagune sweeping towards him, then flipped forward to dodge again. Then, the long spear in his hand fiercely poked the ground, and he used the shaft of the spear as a lever to leap towards the opponent.
"Buzz~ Buzz~"
Unsurprisingly, a large number of Ukaku erupted from the opponent's back and swept towards Lancer.
Lancer spun his long spear, batting away the Kagune, and he himself darted straight toward the opponent. The spear blade pointed directly at the opponent's thigh. It was clear that, just like the opponent had intended earlier, Lancer also planned to first incapacitate the opponent's movement ability so he would have plenty of opportunities to slowly deal with him.
However, the 'Koukaku' spreading from the shoulder blocked his path like a shield.
"Sizzle~!"
Undoubtedly, ordinary Koukaku could not stop Lancer attack. Although that layer of Koukaku played some role, the thigh was still directly pierced by the Gáe Bolg.
And an extremely bizarre scene appeared. The opponent actually showed an extremely 'gentle' smile on his face at this moment.
"Clatter~!"
The Kagune behind him suddenly erupted and fiercely stabbed down towards Lancer.
"Lancer!!"
Akira Mado, who had just repelled the 'Grave Robber' with her whip, couldn't help but shout when she saw this scene, and the 'Grave Robber' in front of her showed a twisted smile on her face.
"Do you like him?! That's great!! I want you to personally watch the thing you cherish be completely crushed by me!!"
The opponent didn't even care about Akira Mado's reply; she was just talking to herself, but the crazed expression on her face was not fake at all. Unfortunately, Akira Mado had no intention of responding to her. Instead, she continuously tried to look into the distance, but the 'Grave Robber' kept interfering with Akira Mado and tried to distract her with words.
"It's useless. Although 'Shikano' is only slightly stronger than me, his 'predation' is to pierce the prey with all his Kagune simultaneously. That man is probably already cut in half by now. You..."
Before she could finish her sentence, a strange friction sound was heard.
"What a passionate embrace. But I'm sorry, I'm not interested in men."
As Lancer slightly gritted voice sounded, the dust gradually dissipated, and everyone could see the situation on the scene clearly.
The long spear pierced the Koukaku, the 'teeth' formed by the Rinkaku and Bikaku were stuck in the solid ice, and Lancer himself fiercely twisted the spear tip, spinning the opponent's body around, and then smashed it heavily onto the ground.
"Bang!!"
Lancer had quite a lot of experience with these ghouls with extremely strong vitality. Trying to knock them unconscious with puncture wounds was too troublesome; directly smashing them unconscious was much more reliable.
And the 'Grave Robber' on the other side seemed to not have expected Shikano's sudden attack to be blocked. One must know that quite a few investigators had died from this move before, but Lancer actually resisted it head-on.
'This is not scientific at all!'
But perhaps because she was too focused, she forgot about the enemy in front of her. The offensive and defensive roles instantly switched. It was originally the opponent who continuously pursued Akira Mado while her mind was shaken, but now it turned into Akira Mado instantly seizing the flaw because the 'Grave Robber's' mind was shaken.
The blade-shaped Quinque in her hand was instantly knocked away, and at the same time, the long whip wrapped around her feet and fiercely pulled ––––
"Bang!!"
She slammed face-first onto the ground, and Akira Mado took the opportunity to manipulate the whip to bind the opponent's hands as well.
Stepping on the ghoul called 'Shikano', Lancer looked Confused at Akira Mado's skilled handling of the whip to tie up the 'Grave Robber' and then stuffing the whip handle into the opponent's mouth for her to bite. His gaze instantly became strange, because he didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that Akira Mado's binding had a lot of 'rope art' flair.
Akira Mado, who noticed Lancer gaze, stood up very calmly and grabbed the opponent's mask.
"Let's send the person to the command vehicle first."
"Oh!"
Fearing that his gaze or expression might reveal something, Lancer simply avoided looking at the other party, but strangely, Akira Mado was looking at Lancer while lifting the 'Grave Robber', and only after Lancer was sweating profusely did she withdraw her gaze. At this moment, Lancer could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
However, Lancer did not notice the complicated expression on Akira Mado's face when she withdrew her gaze.
'Lancer really prefers women like that Yamato Nadeshiko-like Ryouko Fueguchi, doesn't he...'
