Akira dashed through the forest; even at his fastest speed, he couldn't shake the pursuers off, and he simply didn't know how to hide his tracks. after all he was still new to this, even during his previous fight he was incredibly clumsy, and only thanks to his previous life's fighting experience did he slowly adapted to battling as a ghoul, otherwise he wouldn't have been so injured before.
"They've been trailing me for more than half an hour... Damn it!" he cursed in agitation. If the situation continued like this, he didn't know if he would survive.
"Hah... I didn't want it to end this way; it's only a matter of time before they catch up to me." seeing that all the weakling were dealt with, and that only the strong were left, he tactfully decided to run, but the situation wasn't to his advantage.
He had two choices, to either fight back, or be pursued until his stamina diminished and get killed.
He hid in a bush. A couple of minutes later, the black-suited men arrived.
"Sir, I think he must be nearby; I can't follow his tracks anymore!" one of them stated.
"Split into groups of five and scout this area; if I don't get his head, then yours will be taken!!"
Akira looked at man, he deeply frowned as he thought.
"He's probably an SS grade ghoul!" The oppressive aura coming from him was intimidating; even some of his men felt their knees empty of strength as they knelt on the ground.
"Yes, sir!" they replied, hastily splitting and starting their search.
"Just why the hell are they attacking me? If it's not because of me, then it must be because of Yomo, that motherfucker! As I expected, I can't completely trust the original plot anymore; this is a damn reality, not some manga made by humans."
Akira quickly sneaked behind a group that seemed relatively weak, trying his best not to make any noise. He jumped from tree to tree, waiting for the perfect opportunity to sneak attack them.
"I wonder what happen to Yomo though, he must be dead by now " he thought concerned that what happened today might completely wreck his plans.
He waited, scrutinizing their every move, anticipating the perfect moment to launch his sneak attack. All he required was a split second of their guard dropping to obliterate them.
He waited and waited, feeling like a savage predator. Suddenly his eyes lit up with a raw intensity as he thought.
" THIS IS IT!!"
At that moment, his kagune appeared again. He tensed his muscles, preparing for an attack that would aim to take their lives instantly.
He didn't have much time; he needed to end it in at most five minutes before the others surrounded him.
"Here we go..." he thought as he pounced with all his might from behind the five men in suits.
As if he instantly teleported, in less than a second, his bloody figure traversed dozens of meters. His tentacles appeared as they thrust with unbelievable accuracy at the heads of the crow masked man.
One of the men in black, specifically the one at the front, was the first one to notice Akira as he attacked.
"No!!!" he shouted in despair, warning his partners. Alarmed, they turned their heads only to see his horrifying kagune traveling faster than the speed of a bullet which were centimeters away from their faces.
Their eyes warped in horror as they were too late to react to the incoming attack. The four unlucky fellows instantly dropped dead.
Splash...
Brain matter, blood, and bone splattered on the ground, creating a gory scene, their life ended just like that, as if showing how insignificant they are in the grand scheme of things. Their heads exploded upon contact with his kagune, showing the unbelievable power it generated. These four probably had a strength comparable to Touka Chan making them a formidable opponents. But in front of the mentally unstable Akira who moved ruthlessly, they were as good as dead.
Seeing his subordinates die so easily, what seemed to be their leader furiously bellowed, "YOU FUCKING BASTARD, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?".
His voice carried immense agitation as his kagune appeared behind his back, two huge wings of flesh and two pincers appeared behind his back, his kagune was very similar to that of hinami albeit much stronger.
His speed, though not comparable to Akira, wasn't much inferior as he vanished from his place. The earth beneath him showed a huge crack as he struck.
"Boom, boom..."
They exchanged countless blows in a matter of seconds before creating distance a between them.
"Don't take it personally; come on, it was you guys who started this," Kaneki said mockingly.
"Just who the hell are you, you crazy bastard?" the man said.
"What? you don't even know anything about your targets"
Taking this opportunity, Akira picked a piece of meat from the ground and ate it. "Disgusting," he thought, "Though not as much as human food."
Suddenly, a familiar mysterious energy started circulating his body, but this time it had something different to it.
"It's as if this energy has a higher quality than the other." Examining his body, he felt that his body instantly regenerated; his regeneration speed becoming faster and faster. And his muscles slowly enlarging as they exploded in strength.
He thought as he felt happy about the increase in strength "I can use this to my advantage, if I surprise him, then I will definitely land some lethal injuries" not even half a second passed after he ate that piece of meat and made his next plans, which shows just how fast his mind operated.
"Come at me, you stupid crow; I won't dodge anymore," Akira said tauntingly. His kagune enlarged and smashed the four corpses of his comrades into meat paste.
Seeing this, the man in black furiously howled
"YOU-YOU SON OF A BITCH I WILL KILL YOU AND DRINK YOUR DAMN BLOOD !!"
He seemed to lose his mind as he attacked, mindlessly swinging his kagune and completely disregarding his previous tactics. Akira smiled in delight as he also vanished from his place.
Every time their figures disappeared and appeared again, the man in black seemed more haggard and wounds slowly accumulated as time passed, several holes appeared on his chest and stomach; one of his hands was torn as Akira gripped it in his hand and munched on it in ecstasy.
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect it to be this fun," he said as a devilish smile formed on his bloody face.
Akira's strength constantly evolved and grew throughout the fight, and his opponent was becoming slower and slower in his eyes.
'I don't really know the source of this energy, but it's damn effective,' he thought as he hysterically laughed.
The man in black looked at him in extreme hatred. If eyes could kill, he would have died a thousand times as he said, "You will not get away with this; they will be here in no time," he confidently stated as he attacked again.
Seeing the smug expression on his face, Akira's face frowned as he disappeared. His hands somehow grew claws as he ripped him in half and pulled his spine. His other hand still holding the limb as he took another bite. "Ahh, this is satisfying."
All this mess only took about two minutes, so he estimated the other teams wouldn't reach him any sooner. Just as he was about to leave, figure after figure appeared around him; they formed a tight formation as they surrounded him, making sure that he wouldn't escape again.
"Hahahahaha, I caught you, motherfucker," a vengeful voice echoed in the surroundings as the intimidating leader appeared again.
"Impossible, how did he get here this quickly?" Akira thought in shock.
