Chapter 454 - Chapter 60: The Mysterious Ghoul

The bloody long spear had undoubtedly pierced through the platform, but Lancer still did not wait for the 'System's' prompt sound. Instead, he waited for the opponent's counterattack.

"Bang!!"

Lancer, holding the Gáe Bolg in his hand, was forcibly kicked away after the opponent fiercely kicked his lower abdomen.

"Mr. 'Death Throes'of the CCG, you really hurt me just now~"

Even though his abdomen was still bleeding, the other party stood up by leaning on the surroundings as if nothing had happened, and Lancer, who was smashed onto a chair on the other side, also stood up with a gloomy expression.

In terms of hard strength, or rather, stats, Lancer was definitely not afraid of any ghoul. After all, if he couldn't beat them, he could run. He was already proficient in high-mobility combat and also possessed the ability to transform. It can be said that if he sincerely wanted to run, no one could catch him, but in many situations, he couldn't run.

Like now!

Seeing the unidentified ghoul walking towards Akira Mado, Lancer did not hesitate to rush forward with his spear again, but this time the opponent did not underestimate him. The Kagune behind him surged out and swept towards Lancer. The four huge Kagune swept towards Lancer like tentacles, seemingly trying to seal off all of Lancer escape routes, but would he escape at a time like this?

The Kagune directly pierced his right arm, and the long spear in his hand pierced the opponent's throat.

It was clear that upon realizing that the other party would not die even after being pierced through the heart, he simply chose to change targets, but even though he clearly felt his long spear pierce the other party's throat, the strange ghoul, who was partially concealed by the mask, revealed a strange smile.

"Slap!!"

"Mr. 'Death Throes'of the CCG, you really are strange~ Your arm..."

"Can it be any stranger than you, you bastard? You can still survive even though your throat has been pierced by me."

In a rare reply, Lancer eyes continuously scanned the surroundings. Lancer best high-mobility combat was restricted now, after all, Akira Mado was right behind him. Akira Mado, who had already used the hidden key to unlock her handcuffs, tried to temporarily retreat, but at this moment, several ghouls who were originally preparing to escape rushed towards Akira Mado.

Undoubtedly, these guys had been waiting for an opportunity since the moment the strange ghoul revealed Lancer identity, and now that he seemed to be restrained by the strange ghoul, they chose to attack without hesitation.

In their opinion, as long as they could restrain Akira Mado, Lancer would have nowhere to run, but they overlooked one thing, and that was Lancer determination.

"Bang!!!"

The spear shaft forcibly slammed the ghoul rushing at the forefront away, and its face was forcibly caved in.

At the same time, the sweeping spear blade sliced through the throat of the second ghoul, and the splashing blood directly stained Akira Mado's face, but this was not the end. Lancer quickly retracted the spear and stabbed out again. The Kagune used by the last and only ghoul who reacted was instantly pierced, and the ghoul himself looked at his chest with an expression of disbelief.

The Gáe Bolg, stained with blood, looked even more eerie.

But before Lancer could sigh in relief ––––––

"Puchi~!"

Lancer, whose side abdomen was directly pierced by a Kagune, gritted his teeth and twisted his body, throwing the Gáe Bolg in his hand directly towards the person who ambushed him.

The strange ghoul, who had already witnessed the sharpness of Lancer 'Gáe Bolg' several times, naturally dodged without hesitation. Lancer didn't know if it was because there was a Kagune stuck in his abdomen, or if Lancer purpose was simply to force the other party back, but the Gáe Bolg did not hit the opponent, but it was enough for Lancer.

Lancer, who had wrapped 'Alucard' around his abdomen, twitched the corner of his mouth. After all, his abdomen had a hole in it. He was lucky not to have his organs pierced just now, but the wound was already terrifying enough.

He could even see the other side through the bloody wound.

'Alucard' did not have a hemostatic function, but since the blood was flowing anyway, it might as well not be wasted, and let 'Alucard' absorb it.

Lancer directly bought a bottle of Recovery Potion G from the 'Shop' and poured it down without hesitation.

And just as the two sides were in a standoff, the ghoul standing opposite Lancer suddenly jumped up, and then the 'Gáe Bolg' was seen flying towards Lancer.

Undoubtedly, Lancer 'Gáe Bolg' was not a Noble Phantasm, and he could not control the Gáe Bolg using Runes, but Lancer and Akira Mado were not the only CCG investigators present.

Juuzou Suzuya, wearing a black skirt, looked at Lancer with a face full of smiles.

"Lancer~ Your rescue was too slow just now~"

"I'll be more careful next time."

Undoubtedly, the Gáe Bolg Lancer threw out just now was not only meant to force the strange ghoul back but also hit the cage where Juuzou Suzuya was held backstage. Juuzou Suzuya, who used the Gáe Bolg to dismantle the cage, naturally rushed over.

But at this moment ––––––

"Juuzou-chan?!?"

A surprised voice suddenly came from the main entrance.

And Juuzou Suzuya was also stunned for a moment when he heard this voice, but then a brilliant smile appeared on his face.

"It's me~ Mama~"

Juuzou Suzuya's face at this time carried a pure and innocent smile, but Lancer expression was a little gloomy, because the 'Mama' in Juuzou Suzuya's mouth was the ghoul who spent 20 million yen to buy that faded actor earlier.

He originally thought he could increase his combat power, but now the situation seemed to be unclear again?

The 'plot' Lancer read only mentioned that Juuzou Suzuya had suffered abuse from a ghoul and lost his 'sexual characteristics', but it did not specify who it was. Besides that, the descriptions of Juuzou Suzuya were even rarer, so Lancer couldn't even fully confirm whether the other party was a friend or foe.

But at this moment, the strange ghoul who had injured Lancer before suddenly raised his head, seeming to be looking at something, and then a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again.

"It looks like I should leave~"

"Trying to leave now? Too late!"

Lancer, who had already handed the Quinque to Akira Mado, naturally launched an attack without any hesitation since he no longer had any worries. As for her safety?

Akira Mado was not a flower grown in a greenhouse. Several S-rated ghouls had died at her hands. At least, it was not difficult for her to protect herself when not facing a boss.

Heart ineffective?

Throat useless?

Then pierce the opponent's head directly!

Lancer did not believe that the other party could survive after being pierced through the head. After all, if that were the case, it could no longer be explained by strong regeneration ability.

But what he didn't expect was that the other party actually threw the mask directly towards him ––––––

"Amon?!?"

Lancer hadn't expected the face under the mask to be Koutarou Amon's!
