Bab 83: Chapter 83: Level 18
Chapter 83: Level 18
---
Mount Kumotori.
In the shadow of the mountain, a figure walked out of the void, holding a broken, headless body in his hand.
Aoki smiled brightly. Success! After a whole day of planning, he finally succeeded.
At first, his target was indeed Nakime. The reason was very simple. First, Nakime was the weakest. Her combat ability was not outstanding enough, and she had been forcibly promoted to the upper ranks by Muzan. Her strength was still lacking compared to the genuine upper ranks. Second, Nakime's blood demon art was of the space type. Devouring her could further strengthen his "space shuttle."
However, after discovering that Kokushibo was personally protecting Nakime, he immediately changed his goal. "Killing Nakime to escape the Infinity Castle" was just Muzan Kibutsuji's belief. In fact, he didn't need to, and there was no reason to stick to Nakime.
His real goal was Akaza. With the "transparent world," it was easier for him to deal with Akaza than with Gyokko. For this reason, he kept dragging the battle, not hesitating to use up all two Qi and Blood Pills. During the battle, he also secretly targeted Akaza, consuming a lot of his stamina.
In addition, he kept hiding the fact that he could control his fighting spirit, paralyzing Akaza and creating an opportunity for the final blow. The reason it was so complicated was that in front of Muzan Kibutsuji and other upper ranks, even if Akaza could be defeated, there was no way to devour him. Akaza had to be taken out of the Infinity Castle and brought to a place where no one would disturb him.
The "space shuttle" could take other lives through together, but it consumed more energy. However, there was a prerequisite: the other lives could not resist. Whether it was exhausting his stamina, smashing his head, or breaking his joints, all he did was to make Akaza temporarily lose the ability to resist.
The plan was very successful. Although he paid two Qi and Blood Pills and suffered countless injuries that day, it was all worth it.
Puff! An arm suddenly grew from Akaza's broken shoulder and smashed towards Aoki. Aoki let go of Akaza and took a step back. "As expected of an upper rank." His decision to teleport away from the Infinity Castle was a very correct one.
Akaza did not lose consciousness and could still resist, but he was unable to move for a while because all the joints in his body were broken.
Puff! Puff! Several more arms grew from Akaza's body as he moved his joints and treated his wounds. His whole body recovered quickly, including his head, which also regenerated rapidly.
As soon as he had a mouth, Akaza shouted angrily, "Defector, I will not let you go!"
Aoki said calmly, "Your stamina is already running low, and you've been attacked by me. Even if your body can recover, how much combat power can you have left?"
Akaza's head gradually recovered, and his voice was full of strong will. "Even if my stamina is almost exhausted, I can still defeat you! I will never, never fall here. I will become stronger. How can I stop here?"
Strong will and obsession with survival are the keys to breaking the limit of bloodlines. The top three of the upper ranks actually have bloodlines close to the limit.
In the original work, Kokushibo successfully completed the breakthrough, but unfortunately, under the attack of the red sword, his body reached the limit. Even if he could be beheaded and reborn, his body eventually collapsed and died.
Akaza also almost completed the breakthrough, but when he was on the verge of death, he remembered his memories as a human and realized that what he really wanted to destroy was himself, who failed to keep his promise to his father and lover and stained his master's most important Soryu boxing method with blood, which was meant for protection rather than killing. He eventually committed suicide.
"If I had time, I would have liked to have a fair fight with you, but unfortunately, I have more important things to do."
Aoki raised his fist. "Goodbye, Akaza, no, Hakuji!"
The moment he heard this name, Akaza stopped moving, and even the regeneration of his body came to an abrupt halt. "Hakuji? Hakuji? Who is Hakuji? Why does this name sound so familiar?"
Aoki's figure flashed and appeared in front of Akaza. Punching, elbowing, kicking, kneeing—all attacks fell together, covering Akaza like a violent storm.
"Aoki Style, Storm!"
Bang Bang Bang!
Akaza's body, which had just recovered, became even more broken. But at this moment, he had no intention of paying attention to this place at all. Only the word "Hakuji" kept echoing in his mind.
I, I am Hakuji!
A flash of lightning ran through his mind, and the sealed memory began to revive. Akaza trembled all over. He felt pathetic for himself, who had been chasing strength for hundreds of years without knowing why, and he felt disgusted with himself for killing people all the time, and…
"Mr. Hakuji! Mr. Hakuji! Mr. Hakuji!!"
Akaza suddenly looked up and found that there was a beautiful girl in a kimono in front of him. He was stunned for a while and stretched out his hands tremblingly. "Koyuki, Koyuki!"
"Mr. Hakuji!" The girl's face was full of expectation.
The tattoo on Akaza's face representing the sinner gradually disappeared, and his short pink hair and golden eyes gradually turned into black hair and blue eyes. The violent aura on his body quickly dissipated and turned into intense pain and regret. He threw himself into the girl's arms and burst into tears.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I couldn't protect you. I'm sorry! I wasn't by your side at the critical moment. I'm sorry!"
…
Aoki retracted his palm. "Feeling the fluctuations of regret and pain, did Akaza think of himself and see his fiancée?"
This world has souls. With obsession, the soul can exist for a long time. Therefore, after death, there is a chance to see loved ones again.
Aoki quickly put Akaza's matter behind him. The system prompts began to refresh the screen.
