Chapter 95: Time
*Bang!*
The building tilted again and now it could collapse at any moment.
The pillars on the ground floor that held the building together began to crumble.
----
On the roof.
Su Xiao was standing face to face with Kaneki.
Taking a deep breath, he rushed forward, holding one hand in the lower part of his stomach.
Kaneki also rushed towards Su Xiao and used his kagune to hit Su Xiao from four different directions.
Su Xiao swung his sword and tried to cut off two of his kagune, after which he was right in front of him. On the other hand, he held out his two hands in front of him, clearly intending to block the sharp blade with his own hands.
Even though he had gotten stronger, Kaneki wasn't particularly strong in close combat right now. To become a good warrior, changing your hair color alone wasn't enough.
At least in Su Xiao's eyes, Kaneki's skills were too weak.
Kaneki saw a white line, and then numbness began to spread through his arms.
Two of his arms were injured and bones were visible, which Kaneki only frowned at. Compared to the torture he went through, it was nothing.
After that sword strike, Su Xiao immediately attacked him with his foot, and Kaneki was sent flying back, while enduring Su Xiao's new sword strikes.
In just a few attacks, not only did it chop off his arms, but there was also a large cross on his chest.
*Boom!*
Kaneki landed, and Su Xiao stopped in place and began to straighten out his breathing. A pool of blood quickly began to gather under his feet.
Not only was the wound on his stomach now actively bleeding, but there was also a wound on his shoulder.
«I need to get this over with as quickly as possible».
Enduring the pain, Su Xiao rushed towards Kaneki.
Kaneki's hands were just as quickly attached back to his body, and all of his wounds healed just as quickly.
Su Xiao didn't want to wait for his enemy to recover, so he immediately swung his sword.
— Not so fast — " but Nishiki's kagune stopped him. Although he wasn't strong, Su Xiao was still forced to retreat.
Su Xiao's reaction was very fast, but his injured body was dragging him down.
Kagune Nishiki attacked Su Xiao from behind and traces of blood appeared on his body. Nishiki himself couldn't believe that he was able to injure this investigator.
Seeing the bloodstains under Su Xiao, Nishiki chuckled.
— Grim Reaper, you seem to be seriously injured.
If this had happened earlier, Nishiki would have been killed in a few moments by Su Xiao.
But right now, Su Xiao was injured and couldn't use all of his strength.
Nishiki lunged at Su Xiao, and his kagune struck again...
The kagune missed its target, but Nishiki immediately threw a punch in Su Xiao's direction...
After a series of failed attacks, Nishiki was a little upset.
Su Xiao gripped his sword and took a deep breath, and after that, his eyes flashed brightly.
A light blue energy appeared on the surface of the blade, and Su Xiao himself moved his hand away from his stomach and assumed a normal fighting stance.
The blade shifted, a cold glare flashing...
*Pouf!*
Nishiki's hand fell to the roof. He didn't even know what had happened.
— Kaneki came to his senses and immediately went to Nishiki, but unfortunately, it was too late.
Su Xiao's second attack caught up with him.
Nishiki suddenly felt a buzzing in his ears, but after that, everything in front of him suddenly went dark.
His body fell to the ground with a thud.
— Nishiki! Touka, who was sitting on the ground, was stunned.
— Kaneki's voice wasn't loud, but he lowered his head.
— The man who took my friend away can't be forgiven, " Kaneki's shoulders shook and saliva began to drip from his mouth.
Su Xiao realized that this time Nico was torturing Kaneki, so he's not in a normal state.
Kaneki pressed his thumb against his index finger and his finger made a clear click. — I'll kill you.
Su Xiao immediately rushed towards him.
Right now, every second was too expensive. He was well aware that he wouldn't be able to hold out for too long.
His body was already at its limit and couldn't always keep up with his commands, but fortunately, he was still able to fight.
In front of him was the main character of this world, and he wanted to know what he would get for killing him.
There were always some useful rewards for killing an important character.
Su Xiao rushed towards Kaneki...
— One thousand minus seven? Kaneki raised his head and stared directly at Su Xiao.
But the answer was the blade of a sword.
Su Xiao used all his strength and was able to slash Kaneki's chest with his sword, and a terrible wound appeared on it.
Su Xiao was even able to see Kaneki's heart.
Kaneki spat out some blood...
Su Xiao's eyes lowered, and he didn't say anything.
Normally, he would have provoked his enemy, but this was different. He was seriously injured and wanted to finish the fight quickly.
After that, Su Xiao didn't stop and continued to attack.
*Poof! * * Poof!*
After several attacks, Kaneki's chest, throat, and other vital parts were covered in horrifying wounds.
But Su Xiao had lost too much blood and was starting to feel dizzy.
It was too much weakened.
After all these attacks, Kaneki didn't show any signs that he was about to die, and instead, he charged at Su Xiao and threw a punch.
It was obvious from the impact that Kaneki had gone through some training, but that was it.
Although Kaneki had gone from being an ordinary human to an S+class ghoul, there was still a large skill gap.
Holding his sword, Su Xiao met his blow.
The sword bit into his flesh. A few of Kaneki's fingers landed on the roof.
Kaneki's combat experience was too low, but his stamina score was too high. As long as he didn't cut off his head, he wouldn't die.
But Kaneki's kagune was wrapped around his neck for protection. It looked like Nishiki's death had made him learn his lesson.
Although Kaneki was clearly out of his mind, his instincts did most of the work for him.
There was a very strange scene on the roof. Su Xiao's sword attacked Kaneki, but his face was getting paler by the second.
It became an endurance competition. Right now, it all depended on whether Su Xiao could cut off his head first, or if he would lose too much blood and not be able to fight any further.
