Lancer did not know what kind of thing 'The Owl' would become if it continued to grow, and Lancer even doubted whether missiles could inflict sufficient damage on it if it continued to grow. After all, ordinary bullets could not penetrate the Kagune of an ordinary Ghoul, so what about the Kagune of an SSS-rated Ghoul? Not to mention the terrifying change this SSS-rated Ghoul in front of him had undergone.
Lancer glanced at Kishou Arima standing behind him, and seeing the opponent's equally serious but unmoved expression, Lancer couldn't tell whether the opponent had no way to deal with it or was unable to deal with it for other reasons, but he knew that he could not wait any longer.
'I must stop it immediately.'
Then Lancer made a move that seemed very strange to Kureo Mado and the others. He held up his right hand and muttered strange words, Koutarou Amon wanted to speak but was stopped by Kureo Mado.
After a few seconds, a huge red box appeared in front of them, and then Lancer was seen reaching into it and taking out a huge lance engraved with red patterns.
The appearance of a box itself was incredible enough, not to mention taking out a lance that was visually at least 3 meters long from a box less than 2 meters long, but Lancer did not explain, instead holding the lance horizontally with one hand and stomping his right foot fiercely.
"Hah!"
Accompanied by a low shout, the muscles in Lancer left arm slightly bulged, and at the same time, he suddenly threw it out.
"Tear~!"
The sound of the spear tip cutting through the air was incredibly jarring, and then the long spear was seen forcefully piercing into the opponent's body.
Koutarou Amon couldn't help but fiercely clench his fist to celebrate upon seeing this scene, but before he could shout out, he saw that the lance was actually 'eaten' by the writhing Kagune!
That's right, the huge lance that was originally stuck in the opponent's body was slowly being devoured until only the spear shaft remained outside, but even so, the spear shaft could be seen slowly disappearing.
But then Lancer was seen taking out a long staff, taller than a person, from the box again.
Holding up the long staff that was a few inches taller than himself, Lancer solemnly drew a Rune that looked like an 'F' in the air, and then when he lightly tapped the long staff on the 'F'…
"Snap~!"
A huge fiery 'F' was instantly ignited in the air, and immediately after, a dazzling red dot appeared in 'The Owl's' body, until —
"Boom!!"
Accompanied by a terrifying roar, 'The Owl's' body even shook, and at the same time, due to the weight of the upper body, it slowly fell towards the direction of the explosion, but at this moment, a large amount of Kagune appeared again at the wound, trying to heal the injury, and at the same time, as it was injured, it frantically waved the tentacles made of Kagune, attacking all directions.
"Smack~!"
The flying giant tree was forcefully split in half by Koutarou Amon, and Lancer finally breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.
'It seems it can be effective.'
Lancer consecutively took out 11 steel lances of various shapes from the box. These were all spares Lancer usually made using 'Lance Manufacturing Technique' and various collected materials, but they all had a unified name now, 'Guren' (Crimson Lotus).
"Amon, Mr. Mado, and Special Class Arima, I hope you can help me next."
"No problem!"
Koutarou Amon immediately agreed without hesitation, while Kureo Mado and Kishou Arima silently nodded. Undoubtedly, they were very curious about what these things were, but they at least knew that now was not the time to ask. However, Kishou Arima's eyes were flickering. Undoubtedly, he seemed to be thinking about something in his mind, but because of his perpetually expressionless face, no one could guess what he was thinking.
Koutarou Amon was given two lances, Kureo Mado one, and Kishou Arima three, while Lancer held the remaining five.
"Sync watches. Five minutes later, you insert the lances into 'The Owl's' body as far as possible from your respective positions, and I will handle the rest. Finally, I will detonate them directly."
Previous tests confirmed that he could detonate them, but as the time of devouring was delayed, the difficulty would increase, so he simply asked the others present to attack together. This way, he could at least ensure that 'Guren' would not be unable to detonate due to being devoured for too long.
Lancer sprinted all the way to directly opposite 'The Owl', and after taking out his orbment to check the time, he silently waited for the time to arrive.
As time passed, the opponent's body continued to grow larger, making Lancer eager to make a move now, but he knew that he couldn't rush at a time like this. If a premature attack could not be detonated, it would be a complete waste of effort.
— — — — — —
Time was passing, and everyone present felt incredibly nervous, especially Koutarou Amon, who unconsciously wiped his palms on his clothes several times.
He also had to distract himself to keep from being so nervous, but once his mind was scattered, he started thinking wildly, the first thing he thought of being Lancer.
He was full of doubts at this time.
What exactly happened during the two years his friend was missing?
That was magic just now, right?
The thing in his hand is the so-called magic weapon, right?
However, despite the doubts and curiosity, he himself did not have any negative thoughts because of this matter. After all, in his opinion, everyone has secrets that belong only to them. Just like he had always concealed his past, Lancer must also have a reason he had to conceal.
But since the opponent used it in front of everyone, it meant he was planning to tell them, right?
'After subjugating 'The Owl,' should I ask him about it in detail at the celebration banquet? If possible, I want to learn it too…'
"Click~"
The sound of the watch turning was not very jarring in the slightly noisy environment, but he, who had been watching the watch, noticed this seemingly subtle sound.
"Phew~!"
With a deep breath, he stood up straight and held the red lance that was stuck next to him horizontally. After counting a few seconds silently, he firmly threw it towards the front with his right hand without hesitation.
"Pfft~!"
The lance pierced into 'The Owl's' body in response, but he had no sign of happiness, because his attack just now had attracted 'The Owl's' attention. The completely irrational Ghoul was acting purely on instinct now, and he quickly rolled to dodge the opponent's attack.
But just at this moment, several more lances shot into 'The Owl's' body at the same time.
But before Koutarou Amon could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw several more Kagune lashing towards him, and his expression instantly became extremely ugly.
But at this moment —
"Amon!!"
A figure rushed over from the side, fiercely grabbed his collar, and threw him out.
"Bang!!"
Lancer, holding the lance with both hands, crossed it in front of him, and suddenly turned around.
"Throw it out!!"
Koutarou Amon, finally recovering from his daze, supported himself on the ground and stood up.
During Lancer action just now, his back fiercely hit the tree trunk, but he still flipped over and raised the lance in his hand.
"Hit, dammit!!!"
"Pfft~!"
Undoubtedly, the lance hit the target again.
