The Demon's Menu-Chapter 1093: Slash! (2)
Deep admiration grew within, almost tangible.
Ooh!
Woo woo woo!
As all contestants boarded the ship named ’Doom’, the whistle of ’Doom’ blared forth.
Everyone trembled.
The sound of the whistle was like a starting gun.
These boarding contestants, each assumed a ready stance.
They were on guard against those around them making a move, as well as Jason and his two companions.
But...
Nothing happened.
Following the silence after the whistle, everything was quiet.
All that remained were the sounds of the waves slapping against the ship and the howling sea breeze.
After the bizarre silence, the deck fell into an even more awkward state.
Every contestant looked at the three unmoving figures of Jason and his companions, and then back at themselves, feeling like the monkeys being made fun of.
Some of the more hot-headed contestants were almost about to burst into curses subconsciously.
However, since everyone around them remained silent, their mouths opened, but no words came out.
This scene further deepened Hanakaiin Haru’s admiration.
Attacking the mind!
First hit hard, then two strikes to weaken, followed by the final halt!
So that was it!
Hanakaiin Haru took a deep breath.
Just moments ago, he thought he had fully understood Jason’s train of thought, but it wasn’t until now that Hanakaiin Haru realized just how superficial his understanding was.
All he had seen was the surface.
The depths of it all, he had completely failed to anticipate.
"First, use a ’calm’ stance to catch these bastards off guard."
"Then, use the sizing up by me and Sagaraso to instill fear in these bastards."
"Finally, use the whistle to apply the last bit of pressure—with the current state of these bastards, they’ll probably perform at most 80% of their capabilities!"
"It’s a good opportunity!"
Subconsciously, Hanakaiin Haru was ready to make his move.
But, Hanakaiin Haru had not forgotten Jason’s instructions.
The young Onmyoji looked towards Jason.
With closed eyes, Jason stood still, showing no intention of taking action.
What is this?
Could there be something I haven’t considered?
Hanakaiin Haru’s brows furrowed slightly.
He definitely didn’t believe Jason would just stand there waiting aimlessly.
It isn’t a matter of biding time.
With Jason’s cunning, there had to be another plan.
What could it be?
Hanakaiin Haru pondered.
Just as Hanakaiin Haru was theorizing, one of the surrounding contestants could no longer bear it.
The bizarre atmosphere was torturing him.
"Go to hell!"
The person shouted and charged out of the crowd.
But no sooner had he lunged out than blood blossomed from his back.
Pfft!
A blade pierced through his body.
The charging figure looked down at the blood-stained tip of the sword in his chest, his lips moved as if to say something, but the attacker didn’t give him the chance, twisting the hilt and shattering his heart.
The attacker holding the sword sneered.
But immediately, his sneer froze.
Pfft!
The flash of a blade.
The head of the attacker with the sword soared into the air.
The person who attacked him was then rendered into pieces by the chaotic blades.
Everything happened so suddenly.
Yet everything seemed so logical.
Facing the seemingly vulnerable trio of Jason, these contestants themselves were dominant.
At least, they believed themselves to be.
This sense of superiority made them guard against the others much more than against Jason and his companions.
Besides, when they deemed Jason and his companions as their targets, any person who attacked Jason and his companions would bring disaster upon themselves.
If it were a normal situation, such things would be controlled.
At the very least, it would happen after a group assault had taken down Jason and his companions.
But just now, they didn’t attack all at once.
Opportunity slips away in an instant.
What remained was mutual wariness.
Blade shadows and sword lights.
Flesh and blood flew about.
Wails were unceasing.
Cries of agony were continuous.
Watching the scene unfold before his eyes, Hanakaiin Haru was filled with shock.
The young Onmyoji naturally knew that these contestants could not possibly be of one mind.
He also had thought of utilizing this fact as a weakness.
But his thoughts were limited to using misleading words at most.
Not like Jason’s silence, which was profound.
Without the need for verbal deceit, he was able to make these bastards kill each other. fгeewebnovёl.com
"So that’s how it is!"
Hanakaiin Haru was full of admiration in his heart.
Especially when he saw that the initiator of it all, Jason, was still standing with closed eyes, his admiration reached an unprecedented level.
Initially, he thought Jason was merely insightfully perceptive.
Later, he discovered that Jason’s strength was also extremely formidable.
And just now, he realized that even without formidable power, Jason was sufficient to inspire awe.
Such planning, such a strategy, perhaps in the annals of history, there were but a handful like him?
Moreover, an important point, Jason also possessed quite formidable strength.
With the two combined, it was like a tiger sprouting wings!
Such people...
Must become friends!
Must be my allies!
Definitely cannot afford to be enemies with them!
Cold sweat unconsciously appeared on his forehead, and as the sea breeze blew, Hanakaiin Haru shivered and then quickly made the wisest decision of his life.
The sounds of battle continued.
The chaotic fight was still ongoing.
However, the number of contestants had sharply decreased by more than a quarter in a short time.
Slaughter is the fastest filter.
The remaining contestants eyed each other, deliberately increasing the distance between themselves.
"Everyone, wait!"
One of the contestants shouted loudly.
Seeing that it worked, he immediately continued shouting.
"We can’t go on like this!"
"If we keep on, all of us will die!"
"And our targets are just watching from the side!"
"Right! Our targets are them, not each other!"
The contestant’s words immediately sparked a cascade of agreement.
In the battle just now, many contestants wanted to say this.
But who would dare to be distracted in the midst of a fight.
This was a battle to the death, not a practice match.
Therefore, even if they wanted to say it, they simply didn’t dare to speak out.
But now, they had finally found the opportunity.
One person spoke up, and the others echoed.
Immediately, the prior slaughter dissipated.
What remained was malice towards Jason and the other two.
A thick, indissoluble malice.
Sagaraso felt this malice, and her hair stood on end like two antennae, and she unconsciously got into a boxing stance.
Hanakaiin Haru felt it even more clearly.
But there was no sign of tension on his face.
The number of contestants left was within what he could handle.
Simply put, he believed that with him, Jason, and Sagaraso, they could defeat these enemies.
Moreover, a point that was even more important.
He trusted Jason.
Jason, who had meticulously set up his game, would not just end like this.
The subsequent battle would surely be strategized again.
Provoking those bastards’ self-annihilation was inevitable.
So the victory would certainly be theirs.
Thinking of this, Hanakaiin Haru became even more relaxed.
Therefore, even if Jason stood there with his eyes closed, unmoving, Hanakaiin Haru wasn’t worried at all.
The remaining contestants, on the other hand, were eyeing the trio like hungry wolves.
Although the chaos had stopped, they appeared to reconcile.
But their blood-stained bodies were a constant reminder.
They were all members who had mingled in the Inside World.
Saying one thing to someone’s face while another behind their back, they were well used to that.
Time slowly passed.
Hanakaiin Haru became even more relaxed.
The surrounding contestants became even more cautious.
Everything was as Jason had predicted.
Hanakaiin Haru thought to himself.
And at this moment, the contestant who first spoke out spoke up again.
"What are we waiting for?"
"Don’t forget the bomb!"
"We don’t have much time left!"
"If we don’t kill them, we’re the ones who’ll die!"
With that, he charged towards Jason and the two women.
This time there was no sneaky attack from behind.
Instead, they swarmed over.
Of course, some noticed that the first speaker’s speed had suddenly slowed.
But at this moment, nobody had time to care about that.
Kill!
Kill Jason and the two women!
Discuss the rest later!
All had this thought in mind.
Suddenly, their aura twisted into one.
Their killing intent sharp as blades.
Piercing enough to sting the skin.
Sagaraso was vigilant all around.
Hanakaiin Haru also took out Talisman Paper.
But just at that moment, Jason’s voice sounded—
"Jump with all your strength."
Jump?
Hanakaiin Haru and Sagaraso were taken aback.
But, out of trust for Jason, they didn’t hesitate and leaped up.
Then, they witnessed a scene they would never forget for the rest of their lives.
Sword!
A 40-meter long Light Sword!
Slashed out from Jason’s hand!
With an unstoppable momentum!
Like cutting down rot and pulling up weeds!
Sweeping across the field!
Unrivaled reaper!
