Chapter 167: Blade (1) (1/2)
Looking at the constantly drooling and eyeing him monsters, Lei Yin’s mind was calm like a still water. But deep within this calm, there was an inexplicable sense of excitement like a twisting, constantly tumbling undercurrent flowing far down below the mirror-like surface without causing any ripple.
In the thousands of years of rebirth, he watched as his friends and relatives grew old and then died. The pain from such losses cannot simply be summarized. In order to dispel the boredom of his helpless loneliness, practicing martial art became his only spiritual sustenance.
But after he comprehended the way of the Blade back then, even before he was struck by lightning, and became a spiritual body, it has been very difficult to find a worthy opponent. Moreover, with the passing of times, the excessive use of firearms caused the martial arts to steadily decline day by day. To find a strong and powerful opponent was a rare and almost impossible matter.
Although he has long been accustomed to be way better than his opponent, deep down, he still hoped he can find a worthy opponent. Therefore, when he first met with Jiro Yamahara, who was an Esper, he hoped to be able to compete with him.
He often said that ReiLi was a militant person, but he was clear that he is the real crazy militant. But only if the opponents have the ability to fight with him.
Although the five experimental beasts were unused to light in the room, their strong sense of hunger made them forget everything. In their eyes, the man in front of them was just a piece of meat.
The first who rush at him was one with the long reddish-brown hair, the biggest one among the experimental bodies. There was a clear trace of saliva on the spot where he previously stood.
Two other experimental bodies with the same variety as him immediately followed behind. And lastly, the two Wolf-like with tawny hair experimental bodies followed suit.
These five experimental bodies were like a group of wild animals competing for food. But different from the wild animals, they actually maintained their certain distance toward each other, not fighting among themselves like common animals.
Hiding in the entrance of the channel Eiko Kotoshi soon began to regret not to immediately drag this without brain guy. Although she did not like his arrogant attitude, in any case, he really has given her a lot of help, and even saved her once.
Consider this as my payback to him. When the five monsters began to rush toward Lei Yin, the female police inspector clenched her teeth and rushed out from the channel holding the submachine gun.
Although the distance between Eiko Kotoshi and Lei Yin was nearer, the five experimental bodies’ speed were a lot more faster. When she was about 50 meters away from Lei Yin, they had rushed to the front of Lei Yin. Perhaps she can do something personal to him just before he died, she thought.
At the same, she saw the man, who has been standing still all along, suddenly stirred.
Because his back was facing her, she did not see what he did, just saw his hands seemed to move a bit.
Then, she saw the red-brown monster, who was now two meters away from him, suddenly fell to the ground.
Not all of his body fell down to the ground immediately, just his upper body from the waist up. His lower body, after running two more steps, followed down. This bizarre scene happened because the monster was cut while running.
From the monster’s upper body fell to the ground to his lower body completely touched the ground, it only took one second. In that period, Eiko Kotoshi did not know what exactly happened.
But the following scene forbid her to think about it because the other four monsters had also rushed to the front of that man.
At this time, the man made a casual yet very fast dodged to the side, avoiding a direct contact with those four monsters.
And then, she finally saw the man’s action. But as before, she only saw the movement of his hands.
His hands moved just a bit, but she knew what he had done.
He had cut the nearest monster with his blade.
She knew this not because she saw the blade’s movement, but because she saw the light from the blade flashed a bit.
She had no way to describe this blade, she believed no one can describe this blade.
