This ability allowed him to choose an animal to fuse with and gain enhancements.
He chose a wild goose flying overhead. The large goose immediately swooped down and crashed headfirst into Mizar’s body, and Mizar’s body immediately began to distort and change.
His face became somewhat pointed, feathers surfaced on his skin, and a pair of wings even sprouted directly from his back, capable of carrying him in flight. At the same time, his fingernails lengthened and began to curl, resembling talons, glinting with cold light.
“Come on then, since you’re here to cause trouble, less talk, let’s fight!” Mizar laughed coldly and directly pounced towards The Faceless with fierce speed.
Although he could tell this was just an ability’s condensed form, and not the actual body of the person seeking trouble with him, he couldn’t determine where the main body was. He planned to use himself as bait on the surface to draw attention, while secretly directing the smaller animals he controlled, like mosquitoes and flies, to search for the target.
Mizar’s idea was good, but things wouldn’t develop as he imagined.
Just as Mizar charged in front of The Faceless, The Faceless made a move, slapping a palm directly onto Mizar’s head.
This slap came truly too fast, so fast that Mizar couldn’t even react. His entire body was already struck. Then, under a terrifyingly massive force, he was hammered straight into the ground on the spot.
“Boom!”
Mizar slammed heavily into the earth, lying there twitching. The intense pain made it impossible for him to get up for a moment.
“How… how is this possible?” Mizar’s eyes widened in disbelief.
He felt as if his limbs had fallen apart, unable to muster any strength. That simple, casual slap seemed to have directly taken half his life.
‘This is definitely not a Senior Reincarnator. A Senior Reincarnator couldn’t crush me like this. This person’s main body hasn’t even appeared, yet they can defeat me relying solely on this ability-condensed clone. What level of existence is this opponent?’
Mizar thought in disbelief, realizing he was in huge trouble.
At that moment, The Faceless abruptly dissipated on the spot. Immediately after, Mizar sensed the surrounding temperature rising.
He forced his head up and saw clusters of black flames falling like raindrops. Every single wisp accurately landed on the animals he controlled, blasting these animals dead on the spot, instantly turning them into burnt powder.
As the rain-like flames fell, a figure gradually approached from the distance.
“So it’s you… Tsukiyomi Ruri…”
Mizar looked at that figure.
In the information he had obtained, the people in the Urban Legend Club were all deemed Reincarnators. And yesterday, he had investigated three of them, confirming the information as true. In his judgment, this Tsukiyomi Ruri should be a Senior Reincarnator.
But now Mizar knew he had guessed wrong. What Senior Reincarnator was she? This was definitely a Top-Level Reincarnator!
Tsukiyomi Ruri walked over and looked at Mizar indifferently.
She knew that after yesterday’s events, the other party might know her situation, so she came out without hiding.
“Where is Keiko?” Tsukiyomi Ruri asked Mizar.
“I won’t tell you.” Mizar gritted his teeth and said.
“You refuse to talk? Do you not understand that your answer will determine many things, and those things concern you?” Tsukiyomi Ruri said, her small face icy cold.
“I understand what you mean. If I don’t talk, you’ll probably think about torturing me, right? Go ahead. Even if I, Mizar, die here today, I won’t tell you any information.” Mizar took a deep breath and spoke with resolute determination.
This made Tsukiyomi Ruri frown. Could it be that this fellow named Mizar was actually an iron bone?
But no matter how tough his bones were, there must not be the slightest delay in this matter!
So Tsukiyomi Ruri didn’t hold back. The Sin Scythe materialized in her hand and slashed directly, cleanly slicing off one of Mizar’s fingers on the spot.
“Aah…”
The pain of the severed finger made Mizar unable to hold back a scream. Cold sweat continuously beaded on his forehead, his face deathly pale.
Tsukiyomi Ruri pointed the scythe at Mizar. “Are you going to talk or not?”
Mizar gritted his teeth. “For our dream, I won’t say anything. Even if I die, I won’t say it. Someone will fulfill the dream I cannot complete!”
What dream?
Tsukiyomi Ruri didn’t understand, nor did she want to understand such things. She only wanted to know where Keiko was and what had happened to her.
So the interrogation had to continue.
…
Meanwhile, Mizuhashi Yuzuki was also searching for Inoue Keiko.
She had been searching for a long time. She didn’t know where Inoue Keiko could possibly be, so she could only walk back and forth along the route between school and Inoue Keiko’s house, trying to find some clue.
But there wasn’t any clue at all.
On what must have been the dozenth time passing through a familiar small alley, Mizuhashi Yuzuki leaned her back against the wall, frowning with some frustration.
Continuing to search like a headless fly was useless, but what else could she do?
Just as Mizuhashi Yuzuki was distressed, another person entered the alley.
Mizuhashi Yuzuki looked up.
It was someone dressed fashionably, with long black hair, wearing headphones and listening to music, hands in pockets, walking over just like that.
“Hello there, Mizuhashi-san.” The newcomer greeted.
Mizuhashi Yuzuki looked at the other party in surprise. “Who are you? How do you know who I am?”
The newcomer smiled slightly. “I’m just a Reincarnator. As for how I know you, it’s just due to some coincidences.”
Reincarnator?
Hearing the other party’s words, Mizuhashi Yuzuki’s pupils constricted.
What did it mean for a Reincarnator to appear at this time and place?
“Did you capture Keiko?” Mizuhashi Yuzuki immediately thought of this point and became wary, watching the other party.
“No, no, it wasn’t me who captured her.” The newcomer quickly denied, “But I know who did. Perhaps I can take you to find the person who captured your companion. Ah, right, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Alkaid.”
Alkaid grinned, even flicking his hair, trying to appear charming. But unfortunately, Mizuhashi Yuzuki had absolutely no interest in his appearance or mannerisms.
“You know who captured Keiko?” Mizuhashi Yuzuki didn’t trust him rashly, looking at Alkaid suspiciously. “Why are you telling me this?”
“Because coincidentally, I also have a grudge against those people who captured your companion.” Alkaid laughed. “So I thought, we could totally team up, right?”
Team up?
Mizuhashi Yuzuki thought for a moment, then asked, “And how do you know about our situation?”
“Didn’t I say? I have a grudge with that bunch too.” Alkaid spread his hands. “In the process of targeting them, I naturally came to know these things, even learning that you Urban Legend Club members are all Reincarnators.”
