Pendragon's Infinity Gauntlet

Page 169

I know exactly where to go.

"but……"

Jing Shen couldn't help but clench her teeth.

That stone man was far too much for me to handle alone. The difference in strength was too great. If that thing were to stomp its foot and cause a powerful tremor, Jing Shen would be unable to even stand and would be forced to lie humiliatingly on the ground.

"Think quickly! Find the answer calmly and fast! Damn it, if I fail, Kazezaki might be the one to suffer!"

Jing Shen understood that finding a proper solution wouldn't be easy. But she forced herself to keep thinking. She considered every conceivable possibility in her mind.

Surprise attack.

"No, the impact of that stomping will spread outwards from the giant stone statue in all directions. Even if we go around to the back, we can't avoid the attack!"

arms.

"That's impossible. What weapon could possibly blow up that massive stone statue weighing several tons in one blow? Knives or metal clubs would be completely ineffective! The guards might have weapons like rocket launchers, but a mere high school student couldn't possibly use those things!"

Jing Shen frantically started scratching at her head. If she couldn't think of a good solution, she wouldn't mind pulling out all her hair.

As time ticked by, the sweat from the tension poured down his face, and the uncomfortable feeling made Jing Shen want to roar like a wild beast.

Suddenly, Jing Shen saw a person standing behind him in the reflection of the glass window beside him.

"!?"

Jing Shen turned around with the speed of tearing through the air.

Standing before me is...

"what……"

Jingshen couldn't help but laugh. No, it was just the act of exhaling the air accumulated in his lungs that naturally turned into laughter. The expression on his face moved against his will.

For a long time, disbelief was the only expression on her face. After a long while, she was finally able to smile at will.

"I see--"

The girl smiled.

"—How stupid of me. Isn't this something no one should think of, the Purifying God and Exorcising Demons?"

With a confident smile, the girl made up her mind.

The final trump card against the giant stone statue was right before her eyes.

The hospital beds had already been booked in advance.

-

Only now did Kazakiri Hyōka begin to feel a burning pain.

"Woo... Gu woo...!"

Half of my face, left wrist, and left side of my abdomen were all in excruciating pain, as if molten iron had been poured into them.

Forget about running, Feng Zhan couldn't even stand up anymore and could only collapse on the cold ground. To distract himself a little, he started wildly swinging his legs and rolling on the ground.

They received information about pain that would be fatal to an ordinary person, yet they couldn't even escape through death, making it feel like hell on earth.

However, the pain did not last long.

"ah……?"

A terrible change has occurred.

The wound began to heal with a squeaking sound, like squeezing jelly. Like a fast-forwarded video, the hole began to repair itself at a speed impossible for a human.

The almost maddening pain gradually subsided, much like the temperature dropping.

It was clearly a fatal wound.

They shouldn't be alive.

Not only the skin, but also the glasses that were knocked off and the torn hem of the clothes began to gradually recover.

“Ah…Ah…!”

As the pain gradually subsided, my previously blank mind began to gradually regain its capacity for thought.

Regarding the fact that my body is empty.

Regarding the fact that my body is clearly abnormal.

It was as if his previously sealed memories had been unleashed, obscuring all his consciousness.

"Waaah! Cough cough... Ugh... Mmm..."

With her thoughts in such disarray that she couldn't organize her thoughts into words, Fengzhan Binghua, under immense pressure, couldn't help but shout out.

At this moment, as if summoned by the despair in Fengzhan's heart, another despair appeared.

A tremor shook the entire underground shopping mall.

As if falling from the back of a raging bull, Feng Zhan floated in mid-air, but his eyes were fixed on the dark end.

There stood a hideous monster made of steel and concrete.

Behind the monster stood an even more terrifying blond man.

The man is laughing.

It was as if it were reminding Kaze that only a human could possibly show such a twisted smile.

"Ugh... Ah...!"

Feng Zhan recalled the pain of being knocked away by the monster's giant arm and reflexively tried to run away, but due to excessive fear and anxiety, his legs wouldn't obey him.

The man didn't say a word to Feng Zhan.

The man silently raised a crayon that looked like white chalk and drew a line, and the stone statue swung its fist at Feng Zhan's back.

Feng Zhan hurriedly lay down on the ground.

However, the long hair, still floating in the air, was struck by the statue's fist. Kaze Slash felt intense pain, as if his entire scalp had been ripped open, and his body flew out like a cannonball.

"Gawoo...!"

Snapped!

Kazezaki's body emitted a terrifying sound. Sliding across the floor with astonishing force, Kazezaki felt as if his entire body was being ground on a giant file.

"Ah...ah...ah...!"

The forcibly ripped skin fragments and long hair formed a straight line several meters long on the ground.

squeak...

A strange sound came from Feng Zhan's face.

He reached up and touched his face; the surface was pulsating eerily. Fragments of his face that had been torn off while rubbing against the ground returned to their original positions.

Chapter 294 Don't Cry

He reached up and touched his face; the surface was pulsating eerily. Fragments of his face that had been torn off while rubbing against the ground returned to their original positions.

"How could such a ridiculous thing happen?"

The blond man finally spoke. He laughed, as if watching a utterly comical scene:

"I thought the key to the Imaginary Number Zone was some kind of three-headed, six-armed thing, but I never expected it to be something like this! Haha... Hahaha! The science that treats something like this as a treasure is truly unfathomable!"

Amidst the man's laughter, Kazezan's body gradually returned to normal. The surface of his face made a squeezing sound as moisture was being squeezed out, and within seconds, it reverted to its original shape.

"Ugh... Ah!"

Kazezaki began to feel fear and disgust towards his own body, while Xue Li said in a cheerful tone:

"Hehe... But this makes killing you a bit troublesome. Hmm, how about we try turning you into a lump of minced meat and see if you can be restored?"

"Why...why...?"

"Um?"

"Why...why...did you do something so outrageous...?"

"Well, there's no particular reason."

Such a cruel statement left Feng Zhan speechless.

"There's no reason why it has to be you. Even if it weren't you, it wouldn't matter. But, you'd be the quickest target. That's the reason, isn't it simple?"

Before Kazan could even process what was happening, the man had already swung his crayon, and the stone statue Alice threw a punch at Kazan, who was lying on the ground.

Feng Zhan hurriedly rolled to the side, and Alice's fist shattered the ground, with shards piercing into Feng Zhan's entire body.

Kazezaki's body was thrown back by the impact. A terrifying crash echoed as a part of his body twisted. The intense pain left Kazezaki's mind blank.

However, as he rolled on the ground, Kazezaki's body began to recover. Even though he rolled all the way to a distant intersection, he still didn't stop breathing.

He didn't die.

However, the man who intended to kill himself showed no change in expression, not even a hint of disappointment.

It was as if his life or death was a trivial matter to her.

The humiliation of having his life treated so lightly filled Kazezan's eyes with tears. He was also angry at his own powerlessness; he was unwilling to accept it, yet utterly helpless.

Seeing Kazan's expression, the blond man said listlessly:

"Hey, what's with that look on your face? Huh? What? Are you afraid of dying?"

"Huh...?"

"Hey! Look at that self-righteous expression on your face! Haven't you realized it yet? You were beaten so badly but you're still alive, how could you possibly be human?"

"..."

"Pale-faced, trying to gain sympathy? Don't be silly, even if you disappeared, what would the world lose? For example, look!"

The blond man tapped the side of the crayon in his hand with his index finger.

In an instant, the statue's fist swung out horizontally. The arm struck the wall and broke in two.

"This is what I did to you."

"what……"

"Even if a monster is missing limbs, who will sympathize with it? Don't you understand? Why should you have any feelings for inanimate things? Do you expect me to anthropomorphize them and shed tears? That's just like a pervert who gets excited about undressing a doll."

"Ah... Ooh...!"

Before the despairing Kazezan's eyes, the statue's damaged arm began to regenerate, absorbing the surrounding glass and building materials, and returning to its original shape. Its appearance bore a striking resemblance to his own.

This is the essence of Wind Slicing Ice Flower.

After peeling away the human skin, what remains is the ugly, true essence.

"Do you understand now? You are a monster just like Alice. You can't escape. Where do you think you can escape to? Where can a monster like you be accepted? So you understand now, right? Hurry up and figure it out, why don't you understand? There is no place for you in this world."

The man slowly shook the crayon in his hand, and the stone statue slowly walked towards Feng Zhan.

Kazezan remained in the position of falling in the middle of the intersection, just staring blankly.

Unable to move.

It wasn't due to physical injury. The wounds on my body had already healed.

It wasn't because of mental fear. My mind kept warning me to run away.

but,……

Where can we escape to?

Feng Zhan remembered.

Today is my first time going to school.

Therefore, he thought he was a transfer student.

— Today is the first time I've had a school lunch.

So he said he wanted to go and take a look at the school cafeteria.
