The Human Giant



Ding!

"Pressure...I need to keep up the pressure!"

That was the only thought in Suzanne's mind as she launched attack after attack at Jilque. Her movements were like a ghost, disappearing and reappearing without a sound.

The only thing that gave a clue of her existence was a thickening bloody smell that slowly eroded the walls and floors of the town hall. Yet, even a terrifying existence like her was struggling to land a single hit on Jilque, who had even released his blood.

Regardless of how much Jilque confronted Suzanne's lethal strikes, the smile on his face never faded as he simply blocked her strikes with his bloody dagger. Suddenly, Suzanne's body became transparent as her body released ten blood-red shadows that attacked Jilque from every direction.

Using the lack of space that the hall provided for their battle, Suzanne used her famous Ghouls Death Song technique. She split herself into ten other blood clones that she could use to attack her enemies and break through their weak points.

Taken by surprise, she had killed numerous of her enemies, and even those who were prepared suffered severe injuries that required months to heal. She had saved this technique just for this moment so that she could launch an ambush and attempt to stab Jilque in his heart.

"You finally used your famous Ghoul Death Song technique. Took you long enough," Jilque said as his cheerful smile grew wider until it seemed to split his face.

"Oh no!"

Underneath Suzanne's blood, her face swiftly changed as she noticed a thick blood mist surrounding Jilque's body. Before she could cancel her move and reabsorb her blood clones, the blood mist reached her clones just as she was about to move.

Swiftly, Jilque's blood mist ripped her blood clones to shreds. The intense pain that came from her being forcefully broken all at the same time was extreme.

Before Suzanne could celebrate her mental victory of enduring the pain, she suddenly felt her muscles losing strength.

"Shit, he is consuming my blood! I need to stop him!" Suzanne quickly took action and stabbed her ten long bloody fingers at Jilque's skull.

"Ten seconds. You lasted ten seconds." Jilque slowly muttered as he easily faded through Suzanne's fingers and closed the distance between them.

Without much effort, he punched Suzanne's stomach and easily broke her defenses. Sending her flying and crashing through the numerous walls of the town halls.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"Sigh, am I really going to die here? I hope Yoze and Evi were able to save Mr. Light and ran away." Suzanne thought to herself as she ignored the intense pain coming from her stomach.

Even without looking, she knew a hole in her blood armor and clothes showed a blood-red fist print on her stomach. If it wasn't for her blood armor, her stomach would have had a hole going straight through it.

"I would say that I was disappointed with your performance today, but I would be lying if I didn't predict it! Hahaha!" Jilque's hearty laugh echoed throughout the town hall as he slowly walked to Suzanne.

"Thud...Thud...Thud..." The sound of each of his black leather boots hitting the wooden floor was like a hammer slamming into Suzanne's heart.

She knew that she would die today, but she felt her anger increasing just as quickly as her fear of death. As she helplessly watched Jilque get closer to her before standing over her like a death god, she withdrew her blood into her own body, showing the thin smile on her face.

"What are you smiling about?" Jilque's never-fading smile froze as he felt an increasingly bad feeling in his chest.

"Nothing unless you would like to hear how you're going to die in five months," Suzanne said with a satisfied smile.

Even though she knew she would die, she felt much better when she thought about how the person who would kill her would also die because of her. While she couldn't get the revenge she wanted or see his dead body in front of her, the thought of seeing her killer's soul being dragged down to hell with her made the thought of dying feel not so bad.

"Oh, is it the poison that you injected into your blood? The one you only have the antidote for, and anyone else will simply die if they devoured your blood."

Suzanne's face immediately went pale. She didn't know how he could have known about the poison she injected into her body nearly three months ago. She had poisoned herself even before she had accepted the mission to protect Mr. Light from his enemies.

"H-how could you know about-" Suzanne stuttered as she truly began to fear the young man in front of her.

"A simple matter that comes from underestimating your enemies and overvaluing yourself. To be dedicated to using the Leopard Spot Poison on yourself means that you were confident that one says your enemies would consume your own blood."

"That could mean that you were truly dedicated to this one mission of yours. Preparing yourself to die from one of the hands of a Blood Sect member. In particular, one of Elder Chika's students." Jilque explained slowly with pleasure as he watched Suzanne's face becoming increasingly pale.

"If I am not mistaken, you were hoping that a young woman known as Willow the Bloody Beauty would take my place instead. While I don't know what kind of grudge you and my little sister have, I do know that you are unlucky."

"Not only because your target didn't arrive but also because the poison you prepared is completely useless!" Jilque immediately spat out a black ball of poison that began to quickly eat the wooden floor.

After seeing the poison she had prepared for at the cost of her own life being so easily dealt with, Suzanne closed her eyes with pain. The pain coming from her stomach was nothing like the pain coming from her soul.

"Hahaha, Willow, I guess I lost to you once again, and this time I have lost big time."

"Even though I didn't drag you to hell, time will do me the favor instead. Even if I have to wait decades, I will personally stay in hell for as long as it takes to see you suffer!" Suzanne coldly chuckled before turning her focus back to Jilque, who stabbed her heart.
