Chapter 206: The Strength of a Top Player Team

Ten minutes later, in the fire escape on Floor B2.

"Please, Asuna."

Hearing Asagiri’s words, Yuuki Asuna turned around and looked at him sitting on the stairs with a relaxed smile. Her lips curled upward as well, revealing a gentle smile.

"So this is the day I finally get to hear you say you’re willing to rely on me. Leave it to me and rest easy."

After saying that softly, Yuuki Asuna walked down the stairs and opened the fire door to the stairwell. She took a deep breath, made a bit of mental preparation, then shouted loudly,

"Doctor! We’re back!"

After shouting, Yuuki Asuna lightly patted her chest. Her delicate face was slightly flushed. Then she quickly retreated a short distance and gripped the Exorcist Longsword in her hand.

About ten seconds later, the fire door to the stairwell was rammed open with a bang. The Doctor’s twisted, terrifying face quickly poked in, its voice filled with uncontrollable excitement and madness.

"Shadow! Sha..."

Before it could finish speaking, several streaks of sword light flashed through its vision.

Yuuki Asuna, already familiar with the process, moved with practiced precision. With the rapier Gleaming Light in her hand, she cleanly severed the Doctor’s limbs, then thrust the sword tip straight through its wide open mouth and out the back of its head. After that, she used the longsword to carry the Doctor’s body and turned back toward the stairs.

Seeing Yuuki Asuna’s smooth, skilled movements, Asagiri nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile,

"As expected, there’s a specialist for every job. Something like this should be left to a professional like you."

Yuuki Asuna slightly raised her fair chin, like a girl who was happy to be praised but did not want to show it too openly, and replied in a matter of fact tone,

"Of course. I am a profes... Wait, why am I so skilled at chopping off limbs!?"

"Oh? You even created the Hakugaku formula for turning into a monster?"

Asagiri stood up from the stairs and looked at the Doctor, who could only let out muffled groans because the longsword had pierced through its mouth, while its expression and eyes still burned with resentment and twisted malice toward him. Taking out the [Cursed Rope Dart], he stabbed it straight into the center of the Doctor’s forehead without hesitation. As he twisted the weapon inside, he spoke in an easy, smiling tone.

"Remember to come find me quickly. I’ll be waiting right here."

As the Doctor’s body turned into a puff of black smoke and vanished, Yuuki Asuna immediately asked,

"How much mental power did you recover?"

"About five percent."

"Huh? Only five percent?"

Hearing that answer, Yuuki Asuna could not help looking troubled as she sighed.

"You only have around ten percent of your mental power left. If you want to recover to a state where you can fight normally, you need at least sixty percent. If this time only gave you five percent, then that means... we still have to kill that thing seven more times."

"More than that."

Asagiri reached out and pinched Yuuki Asuna’s cheek with a smile.

"I still need to convert some of it into stamina with the Ring of Conversion. So I’ll probably need to kill that thing a dozen times, maybe twenty. I’m counting on you."

"Okay. Then leave it to me."

Yuuki Asuna first nodded firmly. Then a faint blush spread across her pretty face. Tucking a strand of her flaxen hair behind her ear, she lowered her voice a little shyly.

"But... you’ll have to repay me, right?"

"How do you want me to repay you?"

"I haven’t decided yet."

Yuuki Asuna lightly drew circles on the ground with the tip of her foot. After thinking for a moment, she looked up at Asagiri, raised a fair finger, and smiled sweetly.

"But the interest starts with a KISS. That’s already a very fair pri... Mmph..."

Before Yuuki Asuna could finish, Asagiri had already kissed her. More than ten seconds later, the two finally separated. By then Yuuki Asuna’s face was flushed red, and even her breathing had become hurried. Her bright eyes were misty as she muttered with shy annoyance,

"Really... I only meant a light kiss. Why did you... This is still inside the dungeon. Control yourself a little. Don’t act like some pervert."

Asagiri answered with a perfectly sincere expression,

"I can’t control myself in front of such a cute girlfriend."

"Alright, that’s enough."

Hearing herself called cute, a trace of joy surfaced in Yuuki Asuna’s eyes. She gently pushed his shoulder and softly instructed,

"Go sit back on the stairs. Don’t get caught up in the fight and get hurt by accident. As for handling that thing, just leave it to me."

...

An hour later, in the corridor on Floor 1 of Kyozan Mental Hospital.

Twelve fully armed Black Watch members advanced cautiously in combat formation. They wore tactical suits, riot helmets, and infrared night vision goggles.

"A Team is moving toward the elevator entrance."

Just as the squad leader finished speaking, he suddenly saw a disheveled mental patient appear at the far end of the corridor. Its hair was a tangled mess.

The moment it appeared, its head twisted more than one hundred eighty degrees. Its neck bent far beyond the limits of a normal human body. Pale white pupils leaked blood tears as it stared fixedly at the Black Watch members.

In the next instant, the Banshee let out a shrill scream. Its feet never even touched the ground as it floated toward them at astonishing speed.

"Switch to anti cursed rounds."

At the squad leader’s order, the two Black Watch members at the front immediately removed the magazines from their automatic rifles, pulled fresh ones from their sides, slammed them in, and opened fire.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Short controlled bursts roared from the muzzles and accurately struck the Banshee’s head. It let out a piercing scream, its body twisting violently before dissolving into a faint puff of black smoke.

"Target eliminated."

After confirming the Banshee had vanished, the squad leader was about to order the team forward again when a sudden sense of danger surged through him.

"Bang!"

The ceiling above them exploded open. A mysterious figure in a black long coat and dark gray mask dropped directly into the center of their formation.

"Persona, Alice."

"Please die for me."

The moment Alice appeared, Asagiri had her activate her exclusive skill.

Seven of the twelve Black Watch members slowly collapsed where they stood, losing all signs of life.

"This is..."

Seeing the suddenly appearing Asagiri and the blonde blue eyed little girl whose adorable appearance completely clashed with the eerie and terrifying atmosphere of Kyozan Mental Hospital, the squad leader’s pupils shrank in shock. He immediately shouted a warning into the communication line connected to his tactical headset.

"A Team found..."

Before he could finish, Asagiri appeared before him like a ghost and snapped his neck.

Seeing that, the remaining four Black Watch members instantly raised their rifles, aimed at Asagiri, and opened fire.

"Human Asura."

The newly summoned Human Asura stepped in front of Asagiri and took the full barrage with its tall pitch black body. Once, ordinary Black Watch rifles had been able to kill it. Now, however, the shots barely did any damage at all, leaving only dozens of shallow dents on its surface.

"How boring."

After twisting the squad leader’s neck, Asagiri turned and threw the Rope Dart in his hand, piercing one Black Watch member through the throat. At the same time, Human Asura extended both hands and crushed the heads of two others.

As the smell of blood spread through the corridor, Asagiri turned toward the last remaining Black Watch soldier and spoke calmly.

"How many people did you bring this time?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Die, monster!"

Grinding his teeth, the final Black Watch member threw aside his empty rifle, ripped a grenade from his belt, pulled the pin, and charged at Asagiri in a desperate suicide attack.

"Bang!"

Asagiri kicked him straight down the corridor. The soldier flew backward into the distance. A moment later, the grenade exploded, lighting up the dark, eerie corridor with a sudden flare.

Watching the body crumple to the floor, Asagiri spoke indifferently.

"You’re already outdated."

Players, especially top level Players like Asagiri, grew at a terrifying pace.

The first time he encountered Black Watch, he could only kill a handful of them through surprise and ambush.

Now, ordinary Black Watch soldiers posed almost no threat to him at all.

Meanwhile, inside Kyozan Mental Hospital, the other four Black Watch teams all received the final warning from A Team’s leader before he died.

"Found... found what... a Banshee? Or..."

Just as B Team’s leader was trying to make sense of it, nearly a hundred pale ghost hands suddenly erupted around his squad’s location.

His expression changed instantly.

"Retreat! Switch to anti cursed wea..."

Before he could finish, a deep crimson shadow flashed across his vision.

"Sword Skill, Stinger."

Yuuki Asuna’s sword light burst forth. In one clean strike, she pierced through the bodies of six Black Watch members lined up in a row. Then, as the remaining soldiers tried to raise their guns and aim at her, her figure flashed again.

In an instant she appeared in front of one of them and drove her sword through his heart.

The next instant, she had vanished again, only to reappear elsewhere and take another life with Gleaming Light.

Yuuki Asuna was simply too fast.

The Black Watch members could not even follow the path of her movement, much less aim at her.

This was not a balanced fight.

It was a complete one sided massacre, carried out by a top tier Player team against Black Watch.
