Su Yuzu had never witnessed such a tangible combat scene.
The gap between games and reality is always immense.
Especially since the Operator models in the game are all Q-version chibi figures.
Kujou Katora wielded the narrow, long dark red blood blade in her hand, her figure moving dexterously like a butterfly fluttering under a meteor shower.
She reached out toward the lake surface shimmering with faint spectral blue light. The fluorescent blood belonging to that giant beast surged within the lake water, then pounced out as head after head of spectral blue Hounds of Blood, tearing and biting at that fierce beast that resembled a giant whale.
They were completely different from the dark red Hounds of Blood Su Yuzu was familiar with.
Composed of that spectral blue, strongly fluorescent blood, these Hounds of Blood seemed to have light-flames from hell burning on their bodies, and blue fire flowed in their fierce eyes.
Kujou Katora wielded the narrow blood blade in her hand, tearing open the giant beast's solid bony epidermis. The dark red blood blade greedily sucked the blood inside the beast, growing wildly.
When pulled out again, it had grown to four or five meters long, the end of the long blade entirely turning into a spectral blue fluorescent color.
It is not necessarily impossible for humans to defeat giant beasts of the same Sequence.
The last recorded operation was when the Third Sequence mental-type Esper, Soga Ishikawa Irube, killed a Third Sequence Catastrophe Beast in a head-on confrontation.
He bathed in the blood of Catastrophe, looking like a glaring Vajra.
Then he knelt in the pool of blood and was dragged home by the ear by a petite and slender woman.
Su Yuzu and Kujou Katora formed a pincer offensive.
Kujou Katora left the relatively weak attack point... the already injured left side of the huge Chimera Amalgam to Su Yuzu.
And... whenever the giant beast wanted to focus its attention on Su Yuzu, Kujou Katora would swing the butcher knife in her hand even more crazily at the giant beast, pulling its attention back.
Su Yuzu could see that the silk stockings on the girl's right leg had been torn, revealing the tender white skin beneath.
The black silk on Kujou Katora was the top-tier defensive material, Camilla Composite Silk, and the strength of the stockings was comparable to Kaelum Metal.
Su Yuzu understood... that eye-catching white was not like in the game, where "Heavy Damage" only destroyed the Operator's clothes to the point of barely covering vital areas.
Instead... it was the trace left by rapid healing under the influence of potions and Kujou Katora's deliberate stimulation after the wound was torn open.
Kujou Katora pulled the black cord on the handle of the blood blade in her hand.
Then—
Buzz buzz buzz buzz—
The nearly ear-piercing roar of a chainsaw rang out. The blood blade in Kujou Katora's hand had drunk enough fresh blood to transform once again into the chainsaw in the hands of a butcher.
She wielded that spectral blue blood saw, which looked even heavier than she was, leaped high into the air, and slashed heavily down at the giant beast's exaggerated, wing-like pectoral fin.
Chi—
The giant beast's right fin was directly torn apart.
Blood shining with blue spectral light sprayed out; the giant beast's left and right pectoral fins were all broken.
"Wooo—!!!"
It suddenly raised its body and let out a whimper.
Its huge mouth opened, and blue fire burned inside the giant beast's mouth.
Wind pressure swept out, directly knocking Kujou Katora, who had just swung the chainsaw, flying.
Because the giant beast's whimper was not a generic roar, but carried an extremely powerful mental attack.
Kujou Katora's Blood Manipulation ability, strictly speaking, should be a very special Physical-type ability.
It's just that what she can manipulate is not only her own blood but also the blood shed by other creatures.
But... Kujou Katora, whose spirit was already fragile and crazy, had a defense against mental-type attacks that was frighteningly weak.
Su Yuzu looked back.
She saw blood spraying from the nose and mouth of Kujou Katora's pretty face, which was sharp yet harbored a hint of gentleness.
"Rap...tor...?"
"Wooo—!!!" A whimper like a whale song.
The whale-shaped giant beast with severed fins actually jerked its body up.
Blue light-flames burned from the torn wounds of the twin fins, unfolding like the wings of a giant beast, evaporating water vapor and raising curling white mist.
[Warning—]
[Warning—]
[Leviathan has entered the second phase.]
[Rewards are being calculated.]
Su Yuzu could feel the terrifying mental shock emitted by that Chimera Amalgam accompanying the breaking of its twin fins.
But... that terrifying mental shock had no effect on Su Yuzu.
It only blew the girl's skirt hem to flap wildly.
Su Yuzu looked at the shining... [Dominator's Aegis] in her status bar.
That protection that had blocked Soga Yura from hugging her time and again.
Yet now, like Soga Yura's arms hugging her, it solidly guarded her.
But—
Now... at least temporarily, the only one who could face the giant beast named 'Leviathan' in front of her was herself.
Kujou Katora's mental state was very bad.
She had taken a mental bombardment from a Third Sequence Chimera Amalgam almost at close range.
Although not life-threatening, she probably wouldn't be able to get up for a few dozen seconds.
Hayabusa had already caught Kujou Katora.
Kujou Katora looked at the flapping skirt of the girl, struggling to manipulate the Hounds of Blood.
The Boss in front had already entered the second phase.
Su Yuzu guessed that the way to make it enter the second phase was to cut off its twin fins.
It temporarily lost the ability to turn left or right, and could only move forward slowly like a terrifying chariot, crushing everything in front of it.
Simply put, it became clumsier.
But... accompanied by its whimpering, terrifying mental shocks constantly bombarded the entire lakeside.
Not only humans were affected.
Even those Walking Husks were forced to bow their bodies, their fallen appearances looking like they were submitting to it.
The warriors of unyielding will seized this opportunity, clutching their aching heads while covering those Walking Husks with firepower, listening to the terrible hissing of those Walking Husks whose vocal cords had already dried up.
Su Yuzu looked at the monster slowly sliding towards her.
The spectral blue flames spewing from the torn openings of the giant beast's twin fins seemed ready to burn away all souls.
The good news is... because of [Dominator's Aegis].
Su Yuzu was completely immune to mental attacks.
Leviathan's second phase was simply a free score for Su Yuzu.
The Eye of Insight sect that created Leviathan probably wouldn't have thought... that the mental attack, which was clearly more terrifying than physical attacks...
Would encounter an anomaly who was completely immune to mental attacks.
Or maybe... they knew—
They just accurately awakened Leviathan, and then sent Su Yuzu to the battlefield to slaughter Leviathan.
Su Yuzu gripped the Collector's Tachi in her hand tightly.
She rushed toward the whale-like monster.
Su Yuzu's physical stamina was worse than Kujou Katora's, but her technique was more outstanding.
If Kujou Katora was a butterfly fluttering in a meteor shower.
Then Su Yuzu was like a ghostly shadow in a rainstorm, precisely dodging every raindrop.
Thump thump—
Thump thump—
Su Yuzu listened to Leviathan's heartbeat.
Sensing her own heartbeat that seemed to want to suppress Leviathan's.
In front of her, the giant beast, knowing its attacks were futile, spread its burning wings and roared at the sky. The spectral blue burning wings and the equally blazing bloody maw made it look even like an evil dragon roaring at the sky.
The mental storm exploded instantly.
But the power carried by that tiny ant precisely cut open the storm.
Su Yuzu looked at the giant beast spreading its wings before her.
She saw... saw the giant beast's torn left side body.
Saw the dense white bones amidst the torn flesh and blood.
And saw... beneath the ribs, the trace of that huge heart beating like a small house.
"Don't!!!"
In Hayabusa's panicked gaze, the girl cut straight into the spectral blue flames at an almost incredible high speed.
That fire which seemed capable of burning away all spiritual matter.
The spectral blue fire that even rendered Kujou Katora's Hounds of Blood completely useless, singed past the girl's body, yet couldn't even ignite a single strand of hair.
Su Yuzu's gaze was torch-like.
She knew... this time was like the last... she only had one chance to attack.
Who knew if this Chimera Amalgam would have a third phase.
Strike while he's down to take his life.
Su Yuzu fiercely stabbed the long knife in her hand into the flesh and blood outside the giant beast's heart.
"Wooo!!!"
It spread its burning wings wanting to struggle.
But... Su Yuzu's goal had already been achieved.
She stabbed the entire tachi into the giant beast's heart like a nail.
Then... the girl's gaze was torch-like.
Within the spectral blue flames, it seemed as if a string of bright red flames was burning steadfastly.
"Twist—"
She reached out toward the giant beast.
What Su Yuzu manipulated... was the tachi she had nailed in and the giant beast's ribs.
"Wooo wooo wooo!!!"
The dark golden vertical pupils, bright as lighthouses, extinguished.
The massive giant beast fell toward the blue fluorescent lake.
