Chapter 385 "Mask's" Treasure, An Enemy with Two Soul True Bodies

"As long as I kill her… …"

Nightstar put on an act of being close to mental breakdown, his expression distorted, his index finger on the trigger trembling slightly, causing the hearts of the dozen or so SERN members opposite him to rise to their throats.

"As long as I kill this genius girl who has been on science magazines, everyone will finally notice me! I will no longer be an insignificant person!"

"Uh… …"

Hearing Nightstar's words, the SERN members sized him up, their eyes showing a somewhat complicated look.

It sounded like the abnormal remarks of a marginalized person rejected by society.

The problem is… …

Buddy, have you looked in the mirror lately?

You're already so handsome, do you still need to do this kind of thing to get people to notice you?

Are you kidding me?

"Those voices in my ears are about to drive me crazy… …"

Nightstar ignored the SERN members' doubtful attitude and continued to act, his pupils trembling slightly, his acting skills were impeccable.

After all, he had eaten the souls of so many mentally unstable humans. As the saying goes, you are what you eat, so it's not a big deal to act like a madman at this time.

"Voices?"

The SERN members certainly knew that when the desires in their hearts became more and more intense, distorted, and close to being out of control, if they possessed certain "qualifications," they might become the target of possession by powerful evil spirits, just like Rikka Sakurakawa, who was possessed by Izanami, but mistakenly thought she had awakened her psychic abilities.

It's just that the psychic ability users they sent out to attack Yagami Light and Miko Yotsuya did not awaken through this method. Although they looked crazy and mentally abnormal, Nightstar could taste that those psychic ability users were the same as the members of the Overload Society, who awakened the ability of soul concretization by facing their true inner selves.

Undoubtedly, SERN must have mastered the method of "manufacturing" psychic ability users, just as Suzuha Amane said.

Because the number of psychic ability users on their side was too outrageous.

Among the first batch of members who arrived alone, there were several psychic ability users, and they were all ability types that restrained a certain member of the Overload Society.

You need to know that facing your true inner self and making a resolution sounds simple, but it is actually a very difficult thing to do.

Mai Sakurajima and others all went through a series of events before finally completing their awakening.

Even with an organization of SERN's size, Nightstar didn't think that they could create so many psychic ability users through normal means, and even customize the soul concretization ability type of each person.

In addition to time travel, they must also have mastered some kind of technological means related to psychic abilities.

"Calm down, sir, please calm down!"

One of the SERN members took two steps forward, raised his hands, indicating that he was not wearing a weapon, and tried to speak in a gentle tone.

"Listen to me, since you can hear voices, it means that you are a chosen person, not some marginalized existence, but a hero who will save the world with us… …"

At the same time, Suzuha Amane and Hizuru Minamikata were in another building.

Since the top floor was empty and had transparent floor-to-ceiling windows installed, Suzuha Amane, holding a sniper rifle, could completely cover any point in this floor, possessing an excellent and unobstructed perfect shooting angle. After all, the position where she and Hizuru Minamikata were ambushing was also carefully selected by Rio Futaba to ensure that this could be achieved.

When Suzuha Amane swept the crosshairs of the sniper rifle across Kurisu Makise, who was being held hostage by Nightstar, she paused.

Then, she moved the crosshairs slightly upward, aiming at Kurisu Makise's brow, her index finger gently resting on the trigger of the sniper rifle. Looking at the other party's panicked expression, still not understanding what was happening, Suzuha Amane's eyes revealed an undisguised murderous intent.

But after a few seconds, she sighed slightly and moved her index finger away from the trigger of the sniper rifle.

"The building has been cleared, and the surrounding area has been evacuated."

Hearing Miko Yotsuya's report from the earpiece, Nightstar smiled and replied.

"Finally, after acting for so long, it's so troublesome."

Nightstar released Kurisu Makise and casually threw the gun in his hand aside, looking at the SERN members wearing half-face white masks opposite him, and said with a chuckle.

"It's finally time to start the part I've been most looking forward to."

"This guy… …"

At this time, hearing Nightstar say the word acting, the SERN members realized that they had been fooled.

"Oh right, let me mention something to you."

Nightstar pointed to Kurisu Makise, who was standing there, completely unaware of what was going to happen next, a complete outsider, revealing a kind smile, and said slowly.

"You have to pay attention. If the commotion during the battle is too big, and she, who is just an ordinary human, dies accidentally, it will be troublesome."

"You bastard… …"

Hearing this, the SERN members' eyes bloomed with undisguised strong killing intent.

"Killing you doesn't require creating too much commotion at all!"

A male SERN member wearing a half-face white mask, with a more irritable temperament, roared, his body instantly began to swell, from the original height of about 1.75 meters, directly soaring to more than two meters, the muscle lines on his arms wriggling, as if snakes were crawling underneath, taking heavy steps that made the ground tremble, but his movements were not slow at all, instantly rushing in front of Nightstar, opening his hands, and reaching towards Nightstar's head.

"Bang! ! !"

A muffled collision sound echoed in the empty hall.

"Hmm… …"

Nightstar raised his hands, grabbed the SERN member's wrist, and looked at the other party's unbelievable expression. He even had the leisure to comment to himself while fighting against the other party's strength.

"Physical fitness far exceeds ordinary people… … Is it a soul concretization that specializes in strengthening one's strength and speed by integrating the True Body of the Soul? … … A bit like Kiyotaka Aguu."

"Kiyotaka Aguu… …"

Hearing this familiar name, the SERN members couldn't help but be stunned, searching in their memories. After a few seconds, someone finally remembered.

"Is that… … Kiyotaka Aguu who was killed by 'Mask'?"

The SERN member whose wrist was grabbed by Nightstar's pupils shrank in shock, clenching his teeth.

"You… … Who exactly are you… …"

"I've already said it so clearly, can't you guess it? Or is it… …"

Nightstar maintained a smiling appearance, black flames burning on his face, forming a pitch-black mask that made the SERN members' eyes reveal fear, and even their bodies began to tremble.

"Have you already guessed it, but you just don't dare to face the truth?"

"M-Mask… …"

The SERN members were initially stunned. When they saw their companion, who had charged forward first, covered in black flames, rolling on the ground while emitting agonizing screams, this utterly tragic and cruel scene caused them all to clench their teeth. Although they were visibly terrified, not a single one chose to flee.

"He's right here! Kill 'Mask'! This is our chance!"

"Ensnare him, Jorōgumo!"

Following the call of a female SERN member, a Soul Manifestation with the body of a spider but the head of a human, its appearance utterly repulsive, appeared behind her, spraying webs made of spiritual power from its abdomen, attempting to bind Yaehoshi's body.

Almost simultaneously, a male SERN member also activated his ability.

"Bog Monster!"

The ground beneath Yaehoshi's feet, originally paved with marble tiles, instantly transformed into a dark green swamp emitting a foul odor, and his legs sank directly into it.

"Shiranui!"

"Kodama!"

"Takaonna!"

"Hashihime!"

… …

In an instant, all the SERN members either summoned their Soul Manifestations or fused with them. Judging by their lack of hesitation and their perfect synchronization, they had clearly undergone specialized training to fight 'Mask'.

Watching the spiritual webs, tree roots, ghostly blue flames, and a series of other messy things entangling his body, and seeing several SERN members who had fused with their Soul Manifestations charging towards him to inflict damage, a long-absent excitement surfaced in Yaehoshi's eyes.

"Interesting, truly interesting."

"You despicable bastard, just die already!!!"

In extreme fear, people often exhibit extreme anger.

The SERN members were currently in this state.

Although they knew that the 'Mask' before them was not yet the same one from their timeline who had nearly slaughtered SERN, forcing them to live in the shadows like rats, constantly hiding, with even sleeping at night becoming a nightmare, it was indeed the same person, wearing the same attire. Even though they told themselves that his power was not yet so strong, they still couldn't suppress the feeling of terror that made every cell in their bodies tremble.

"Got him!"

A female SERN member fused with Hashihime, whose clothes were constantly dripping water and whose wet, long hair obscured her face, took out a long silver stake from her bosom and forcefully plunged it into Yaehoshi's heart.

Another male member took out a broad, heavy longsword and struck Yaehoshi's neck, but failed to sever his head. Instead, the blade became stuck after penetrating only a small part of his neck, blocked by the muscles and bones inside.

The last SERN member, however, squatted down slightly, also taking out a silver stake from his bosom, his eyes filled with intense hatred and twisted desire, and without hesitation, thrust it towards Yaehoshi's most sensitive and vulnerable area as a man.

"Bang!"

Before the silver stake in his hand could strike, a loud noise suddenly rang out in the arena.

Under the shocked and horrified gazes of the distant SERN members, Yaehoshi, as if breaking free from ordinary spider silk, directly snapped the spirit power threads with his right arm, clenched his fist, and delivered a simple but powerful Pigua Fist to the SERN member who had tried to strike his sensitive area.

The SERN member's body was slammed onto the ground, his head already turned into a pile of fragments. Even his body, due to the terrifying force of the punch, was smashed into a pile of minced meat on the hard marble floor.

"That's too much."

Yaehoshi, with half a blade stuck in his neck and a silver stake piercing his heart, even protruding from his back, looked completely unaffected as he sized up the SERN members before him and slowly spoke.

"You even stabbed that place. Do you guys even have any martial ethics?"

Seeing that 'Mask' was still not dead despite suffering such severe injuries, the SERN members were initially stunned. Then, the female spirit ability user who had pierced his heart with the silver stake, suddenly seemed to realize something and shouted loudly.

"His weakness is… the crotch…"

"Crack."

Before the female spirit ability user could finish speaking, Yaehoshi had already reached out his right hand, grabbed her neck, and with the crisp sound of bones breaking, directly snapped her neck.

"Weak point? Don't make me laugh."

Yaehoshi's voice sounded very serious. He scanned the enemies present with his black eyes, revealing a strong killing intent.

"You want to cut off my head, you want to pierce my heart. If you're bored and want to pass the time, I can play with you, but…"

"You actually… wanted to attack that part of me…"

"This place doesn't just belong to me. To protect everyone's treasures, I will do everything I can!"

Just as Yaehoshi said these words, Yotsuya Miko and Yuigahama Yui walked out of the stairwell, hearing everything perfectly clearly, and couldn't help but reveal speechless expressions.

"Everyone's treasures… he's talking abstractly again…"

Hearing Yotsuya Miko's slightly helpless words, Touma Kazuha said faintly in the earpiece.

"Yes, a very accurate adjective."

"Don't talk, you're abstract too."

"If me telling the truth is abstract, then it can only prove that our current relationship is very abstract."

Yotsuya Miko was speechless.

You know, sometimes Touma Kazuha really does say some things that sound outrageous, but are also impossible to refute.

"'Dodomeki'… and… 'Kiyohime'…"

Seeing Yotsuya Miko and Yuigahama Yui suddenly appear, the SERN members' pupils shrank in shock. They originally wanted to step back and distance themselves from the two, but when they saw 'Mask' standing there, their bodies froze in place.

There's no way out…

Great, it's Lord 'Mask'. We're dead for sure.

Yotsuya Miko looked at Yaehoshi, who had half a blade stuck in his neck and a silver stake piercing his heart, but was still standing there perfectly fine, and sighed slightly.

"Hey, haven't you had enough fun? Shouldn't you get serious?"

"How could this be playing? I've always been serious."

While replying, Yaehoshi raised his hand and grabbed the wrist of the SERN member who had struck his neck with the sword. The other party placed both hands on the hilt, trying to resist, but was no match for Yaehoshi's strength, and could only watch helplessly as he slowly pulled the blade out of his neck.

After the blade was removed, a vapor-like mist appeared on Yaehoshi's neck, and the wound healed instantly.

"Are you surprised?"
