Chapter 485: Purge
"Do it!"
The instant Mercenary Tao threw the punch, a sharp light flashed in Lingxin's eyes. This is the best opportunity!
Bang!
In the fiery light of the mecha explosion, Akira was instantly teleported out by her. Taking his place was the last person who had remained silent until now.
This person emerged from the fiery light, stepping on empty air with both feet as if stepping on something, and shot out in an instant.
Almost at the same instant Mercenary Tao threw the punch destroying the mecha, this person had already appeared in front of him.
He had short golden hair standing up straight. His face was completely open at this moment, as if excited to the extreme. He spread his arms and legs mid-air, his posture straight in front of Mercenary Tao.
"Ora ora ora ora!"
He suddenly shouted loudly, his arms waving. But a force had already hit Kaito Shirogane before his arms even moved.
Bang bang bang bang...
Kaito felt punching force weighing several tons continuously smashing onto his body.
Stand User?!
He quickly understood the root of this Reincarnator's ability. Looking at the Reincarnator in front of him with arms spread as if wanting to attack together with his Stand, he raised his right hand, preparing to instantly kill the opponent.
But in the next moment, Kaito was startled.
His arm seemed to have lost control and didn't respond.
Kaito frowned. Pitch-black Armament Haki covered his whole body. With this, his arm finally lifted.
But the other party had already silently retreated a few steps backward.
"Trying to attack me is useless!"
"Ora ora ora ora!"
He continued to shout meaningless exclamations. Bright yellow flames ignited out of thin air.
This Reincarnator immediately let out a miserable scream, clutching his body and falling from the air.
Kaito's body was knocked back a few steps by the continuous Stand attacks. He shook his head at this time, looking at the scales appearing on his body surface. He didn't feel much pain.
After integrating Heaven's Tyrant Blood into his body, the hardness of his skin had improved greatly. These dragon scales that appeared upon suffering attacks were also much harder to break.
[You suffered an attack from a Reincarnator. Based on your Spirit attribute, you obtained the following information:]
[You suffered the ability · Stand Attack. Every time you suffer an attack, a mental check will be conducted on you]
[Immunity Failed]
[Immunity Successful]
[Immunity Successful]
...
Kaito looked at the string of Space prompts, knowing the other party's Stand probably had an extra ability. Every time it attacked him, a check was conducted. The first time he didn't pass the check, so the manifestation of his body losing control appeared.
But after that, he became immune to that ability every time.
[One Shot into Soul] rolled twice on the ground, and that phantom pain of being burned by flames eased a bit. He looked at his Stand igniting with flames, understanding this was probably Mercenary Tao's special ability.
A disgusting ability that counterattacks upon being attacked.
"Quick, teleport me back!"
One Shot into Soul shouted. Seeing that Mercenary Tao wasn't controlled by his Stand ability, he knew this ambush had failed.
Buzz!
Amidst the spatial vibration, the blond Reincarnator disappeared again. Taking his place was a new mecha with a pitch-black coating, but judging by its shape, its level was obviously much lower.
The interest Kaito had just raised quickly fell back. Although the abilities of this group were diverse, they were indeed not as strong as the first few people he had chosen.
His hunting order indeed started from the strongest to the weakest.
"I've lost interest."
Hearing this voice in her ear, Lingxin's pupils shrank. Her Observation Haki at this moment felt as if it were about to pierce her spine; that crisis warning appeared madly.
But Lingxin still stared blankly ahead, sweat flowing down her temples.
Several kilometers away, that black mecha was frantically rushing back. Yet a hot breath appeared behind her ear.
Mercenary Tao... appeared behind me?!
How did he do it?!
How could it be so fast!
Kaito stood in place, making no move. In the state of High-Tier Setsuna, he was afraid he might accidentally kill this woman who probably best met his target conditions.
[Using Cleaner Authority, designate the person in front as the Purge Target]
He activated the [Cleaner Authority].
The fluctuation of killing intent was like a black-red snake wrapping around Lingxin's body, coiling around her neck. Lingxin's right hand trembled constantly, wanting to activate ROOM to teleport herself away.
But she had a premonition that the moment she activated her ability, it was highly likely Mercenary Tao would instantly kill her!
[Warning: You have been designated as a Purge Target by the Cleaner. Now conducting a check on your actions...]
[Checking...]
"What..."
Lingxin completely didn't realize what was happening, but the scarlet Space prompt obviously foreshadowed some kind of danger.
She gritted her teeth. Waiting for death wasn't her personality.
The blue and white ROOM expanded instantly.
Pfft!
Kaito grabbed the woman's arm and flung it to the other side.
The terrifying monstrous strength accompanied by the super speed born of High-Tier Setsuna... before the woman could even react, an arm had already flown off.
And at this time, [One Shot into Soul], who had just been teleported back, finally realized what had happened.
In almost just the blink of an eye, Mercenary Tao instantly appeared among them and tore off Lingxin's arm?!
"Damn it, what happened?!"
He spread his hands, and the Stand appeared again. This was an emerald green Stand. He wasn't far from Mercenary Tao, so the range was enough. The Stand directly appeared behind Mercenary Tao, and the attacks began again.
Hum!
An intense whistling of Qi sounded beside One Shot into Soul's ear. Immediately after, a burning pain came from his glabella. In the next moment, he felt the world begin to go black, and his line of sight involuntarily fell backward.
What's the situation... what's going on... I'm... dead?!
He didn't even see clearly Mercenary Tao's backhanded motion of firing the Dodon Ray before his glabella was pierced.
In Akira's optical instruments, Mercenary Tao split into two people almost simultaneously. One tore off Lingxin's arm, and the other turned back and pierced One Shot into Soul's head with a finger.
The movement was too fast, already exceeding the capture limit of the optical instruments.
Akira felt himself enveloped by an intense death intent.
[Survive!]
The scarlet light appeared in his eyes. But this time, the power of Geass didn't make his body move in any way; instead, it made him stop.
Rushing over means certain death.
But...
At this time, before Akira's eyes, there seemed to appear a woman with a pierced chest. Blood choked her mouth and nose. The light in her eyes was about to completely extinguish, but still emitted a red luster, saying to him:
"Survive!"
Akira abruptly bit into his own arm.
Scarlet steam erupted from his body. In the next moment, a terrifying explosion blew up along with his vehicle.
Boom!
The terrifying explosion swept through the entire city, also engulfing the woman flung away by Kaito.
Kaito frowned. His figure was like lightning, not turning into wind, but directly grabbing the other party and flying towards the sky.
The mushroom cloud rose, the terrifying high temperature roasting the scales on Kaito's body surface.
In the next moment, Kaito saw a red giant appear in the city, but Kaito merely glanced at it and moved his gaze away.
This kind of Colossal Titan completely posed no threat to him anymore.
He had just felt a trace of killing intent; it was that hiding Reincarnator.
Kaito turned around, holding the woman whose skin was completely burned away, and slowly floated down from the air.
[Check Successful]
[Reincarnator HC73013378 has been confirmed as a Purge Target. Please eliminate them as soon as possible]
