Before, despite her huge size, even with the strongest burst power, she still couldn't avoid Lancer attacks due to issues with flexibility. But now, after returning to human form, utilizing the dynamic observation ability of her Kakugan, coupled with the ability of her Kagune to resist Lancer attacks to a certain extent, she actually managed to evade most of the attacks directed at her vital points during Lancer preemptive strike.
Although her body was covered in wounds, she still wore a smile. Undoubtedly, if this continued, it would inevitably turn into a war of attrition.
"Aren't you planning to use your ability to manipulate 'ice'?"
And just at this moment, 'The Owl' suddenly spoke. This made Lancer freeze for a moment, and immediately a Kagune grazed past his neck, directly drawing a spark on the 'Arata'.
Lancer immediately composed himself, and at the same time silently cursed himself for being foolish for being distracted during combat. But even so, his eyes still subconsciously glanced at Kureo Mado and Koutarou Amon on the side.
And this almost instinctive action made 'The Owl' show a strange smile on her face.
"You're scared, aren't you~! Scared that your identity will be exposed?"
'Could it be that the opponent has already figured out that I am using magic?'
Although Lancer didn't think the opponent could discover it, as the great BOSS of this world (in Lancer eyes), it was not incomprehensible that the opponent discovered it.
Then he saw the opponent showing an extremely confident expression.
"Lancer! You are a One-Eyed Ghoul, aren't you!"
As the opponent spoke, the entire battlefield seemed to be put on pause, and Lancer looked completely Confused.
One-Eyed Ghoul? What the heck?
However, Lancer bewilderment instead made a noticeable smile appear on 'The Owl's' face. In her opinion, the reason Lancer showed such an expression was definitely because she had hit the mark.
Lancer, however, thrust his spear forward with a deadpan expression. He originally thought the opponent was going to say something profound, but he didn't expect her to say such a completely illogical statement.
He thought she had a profound argument in front of the two armies, but he didn't expect it to be such nonsense!
Ghoul? From what angle did the opponent draw this conclusion?
Is it because he likes to drink coffee?
However, Lancer choosing to ignore her instead made the smile on 'The Owl's' face grow wider. In her opinion, this was just Lancer feeling guilty after being called out.
But the strange thing was that the three people present did not seem to be affected by her words.
There was no need to say much about Kureo Mado; Lancer was saved by him back then, and the subsequent testing was also done by him. He knew better than anyone that Lancer body did not contain RC cells. You should know that even the test subjects of the CCG's Quinx Plan today have a large number of RC cells mixed in their bodies.
As for Koutarou Amon?
When he was studying under Kureo Mado with Lancer back then, the two of them spent day and night together. Didn't he know whether the opponent was human or Ghoul? When he heard 'The Owl's' words, not only did it not cause any inner turmoil, but he even felt a little like laughing.
What about Kishou Arima?
He was expressionless as always, but it was precisely because of this that no one could figure out what he was thinking in his heart. Was it because of trust in the CCG's screening system? Or was it simply trusting his own eyesight? No one knew.
But the only thing that could be known was that Lancer became more cautious. Undoubtedly, he had secretly made up his mind not to use the 'Rune Spells' anymore, at least not in front of people. After all, he himself didn't care; he would leave directly after the matter was completed, but Koutarou Amon, Kureo Mado, and Akira Mado still had to live in this world. Once he exposed any abnormalities, these three would not be able to live a peaceful life either.
Kill the opponent!
Only this thought remained in Lancer mind.
Conventional methods simply cannot hit the opponent. Having undergone the refinement called 'survival' since childhood, she possessed strength far exceeding that of an ordinary SSS-rated Investigator in her youth, and later, through extensive cannibalism, her strength reached what could almost be called the limit of this world.
Combat intuition cultivated through battle, physical fitness strengthened by extensive eating, possession of sufficient intelligence unlike a beast, coupled with the fact that she had fought Lancer before, she was even more on high alert to deal with Lancer, so she would absolutely not be careless.
It can be said that the opponent was the strongest 'monster' Lancer had ever faced.
'I can only try that move.'
Lancer had quite a few 'secret techniques,' and they each had their own focus.
The most versatile move among them was obtained in this world — Murloc Triple Stab.
After Lancer finished his preemptive strike, 'The Owl' originally thought Lancer would continue to pursue, but when she retreated, she found that Lancer had stopped in place. At the same time, he held the spear shaft with both hands, stepped his right foot forward, and assumed a strange posture, while a bloody aura began to spread out from his body.
The rich scent of blood made her unable to resist licking the corner of her mouth.
However, Lancer didn't care what his opponent was thinking. He concentrated, held his breath, and focused all his energy on the Quinque in his hand.
Murlocs are an extremely weak species. Before going to Stormwind City, Lancer also cleaned up these annoying guys with Lothar and the others, but it was precisely because they were weak that they created such a miraculous move.
Acknowledging one's weakness, admitting the opponent's strength, but still not giving up, staking everything on the long spear in one's hand is precisely the attack that can reverse luck!
「Secret Technique · Murloc Triple Stab」
Lancer, wrapped in a hazy bloody aura, finally launched his attack. There was no practical difference in the speed of the charge or the thrust of the spear compared to before, but his eyes were incredibly focused. That look even made 'The Owl' lose focus for an instant, and it was precisely in this instant that Lancer speed suddenly surged.
"Pfft~!"
One stab hit the Kagune sweeping towards him, and the Kagune snapped in response. At the same time, he retracted the spear, and he himself rushed almost right next to the opponent. The second stab followed, and this time the long spear hit the opponent's flank again. As the spear blade passed, a chunk of flesh and blood was brought up, but it was still not a fatal injury. And just as he was about to deliver the third stab —
"Pfft~ Pfft~ Pfft~"
A sudden sound of air breaking from behind made Lancer stab his long spear backwards without hesitation while freezing for a moment.
"Clang~ Clang~"
Accompanied by a burst of metal collision sounds, a large number of black and red Ukaku were knocked down by him. He was incredibly familiar with these Kagune, because 'The Owl' used these Kagune before, but the opponent was right in front of him, making it impossible to attack him. The previous moment was the best proof; under his two stabs, she couldn't fully defend or evade.
The so-called reversal of luck is to affirm one's misfortune, and it is a move that takes all 'possibilities' into account.
How did the opponent do it?
