Tokyo Ghoul: Starting with the Twin Kamui

He didn't show any sign of knowing "One-Eyed Owl," and seemed completely unaware that "One-Eyed Owl" was Yoshimura Eto.

Therefore, Yoshimura Eto certainly didn't think that Uchiha Byakuya would recognize her.

The One-Eyed Owl immediately responded, unleashing a barrage of feather-like blades from its back. The dense array of blades shot towards Uchiha Byakuya.

Her initial kagune, or kagune type, was the same as her father Yoshimura Kōzen's, which was "Ukaku". These feather-like blades were the most common attack method of "Ukaku", all of which were formed from kagune, so they were extremely strong in terms of speed, hardness and sharpness.

With this ability, powerful "Feathered Blade" type ghouls can kill hordes of investigators in an instant, but "One-Eyed Owl" turned this wide-range weapon of destruction on Uchiha Byakuya.

Now Yoshimura Eto has changed her mind. She wants to first turn Uchiha Byakuya into a "porcupine" to render him unable to resist but not to kill him, and then cut off one of his arms as a lesson for this guy.

Because she had already given him one chance, but instead of running away, he fought her.

Although Yoshimura Eto did feel some gratitude towards Uchiha Byakuya, her personality had become chaotic and twisted due to her upbringing in the 24th Ward, and she was capable of doing anything, no matter how brutal.

Just because Uchiha Byakuya was kind to her doesn't mean she wouldn't do something to hurt him.

With his Mangekyou Sharingan, Byakuya Uchiha had already decided on his dodge the instant the "One-Eyed Owl" showed any signs of attack.

As the blade shot out from the back of the "One-Eyed Owl," he had already moved swiftly to the right, perfectly dodging all the blades during the movement.

P.S.: That's all for today's three updates. And thank you to "Skadi Wushuang" for the "Master Certification"! Thank you to "Xiao Sir" for the "Explosive Update Celebration"!

Chapter 17: Successfully Repelling the "One-Eyed Owl"

Just as "One-Eyed Owl" was about to unleash his kagune blade, Uchiha Byakuya decisively allocated all his current attribute points to "Constitution," allowing him to dodge more quickly.

Current attribute points: 39 (Total attribute points: 144)

[Ding! Host has successfully added skill points!]

[Physique +3.9]

[Attribute Points -39]

Even so, Uchiha Byakuya's current physical abilities are only slightly more than twice that of an average person.

However, he anticipated the trajectory of the "One-Eyed Owl's" "Wuha" ability, so he was always a step ahead of those kagune blades.

Seeing that his kagune blade couldn't hit Uchiha Byakuya, Yoshimura Eto was slightly surprised.

So this guy actually has some skill...

He was more capable than most of the investigators she had ever met.

However, according to what the female investigator just said, this guy seems to be only a second-class investigator, but his strength is not at all on the same level as the position of a second-class investigator.

"So this is the young man from White Court...?"

Seeing Uchiha Byakuya's amazing skills, Mado Wei, who was resting in the distance, was immediately amazed.

Bai Riting is present in almost every new investigator in CCG. These newcomers from Bai Riting are the most special, as they can skip all procedures and become second-class investigators directly.

However, their abilities certainly justify this treatment, and their potential is generally higher than that of ordinary investigators.

Occasionally, there will be individuals like Uchiha Byakuya whose true strength far exceeds what an investigator should be capable of.

However, that was all Mado Mi knew. She had no idea what the White Day Garden was or where it was.

Other colleagues at CCG were also unaware of this.

The investigators from the White Court all remained silent about the matter.

Bai Ri Ting became a very mysterious place.

At this moment, Uchiha Byakuya dodged the kagune blades and fearlessly charged towards "One-Eyed Owl".

He knew that the current "One-Eyed Owl" still had serious injuries that had not yet healed, and was unable to exert his full strength.

Moreover, the "One-Eyed Owl" of this period is very different from the one in the original work. In the original work, he had already undergone another ten years of "common consumption", and his strength had changed to a level that was completely different from the one in the current period.

Otherwise, Uchiha Byakuya wouldn't have dared to face the "One-Eyed Owl" with just the basic abilities of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Uchiha Byakuya, wielding a Quinque spear, thrust it towards the "One-Eyed Owl's" kagune arm.

With the power of an S-class Quinque, it is enough to damage the Kagune arm, but damaging the Kagune arm is not very meaningful, because the self-healing ability of an SSS-class ghoul, especially a Kakuja, is terrifying. The body can instantly heal itself after being injured.

Only by destroying the kagune can this level of ghoul be effectively harmed.

That's why "One-Eyed Owl" hasn't fully recovered yet.

However, Uchiha Byakuya has little chance of encountering the kagune behind the "One-Eyed Owl" unless he uses the double Kamui eye technique, but that would expose his blood eyes, and it would be troublesome if Yoshimura Eto and Mado Mi simultaneously mistook him for a ghoul.

And there was no need for that. His original intention was not to harm "One-Eyed Owl," but to rescue Mado and to defeat "One-Eyed Owl" as much as possible.

At that moment, "One-Eyed Owl" dodged to the side, avoiding the Quinque's spear.

Despite her enormous size, she moved faster than Uchiha Byakuya; her body, composed entirely of kagune, was naturally designed to be explosive in both strength and speed.

Immediately afterwards, the kagune arm slashed at Uchiha Byakuya like a giant longsword. As if by telepathy, the "One-Eyed Owl's" attack target was also Uchiha Byakuya's arm.

It's more accurate to say that Yoshimura Eto had already planned to cut off Uchiha Byakuya's arm.

Byakuya Uchiha anticipated the "One-Eyed Owl's" initial attack and knew that the opponent would attack his left arm, so he simply dodged to the right.

After such a battle, neither Uchiha Byakuya nor "One-Eyed Owl" were injured.

Uchiha Byakuya felt that it was about time, so he said to "One-Eyed Owl", "Since neither of us can hurt the other, how about we call a truce?"

"..."

Yoshimura Ete did not respond, but remained silent for a while.

After a moment of silence, she turned and headed towards the depths of the maze.

Continuing to drag this out would be detrimental to her; the investigators who initially withdrew would definitely request reinforcements, and she would then be besieged by a large group of investigators.

She still has injuries, so she can't be too careless.

Yoshimura Aite's main purpose in coming to the 24th ward was not to intercept the CCG's search team; she just happened to run into them.

Seeing that Yoshimura Etken had stopped fighting, Uchiha Byakuya breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Because his stamina was already starting to wane, even though his physical abilities were twice that of an average person...

This is similar to mixed martial arts; in the octagon, if you go all out with your opponent, you'll run out of energy in less than a round.

If professional players are like this, what about ordinary people?

The average person's physical fitness is never as good as they imagine.

Moreover, Uchiha Byakuya had just fought against the SSS-rank "One-Eyed Owl," considered the most powerful enemy by the entire CCG, and could lose his life if he was not careful. Therefore, he had to go all out, which was a huge drain on his physical strength.

If Yoshimura Eto hadn't refused to stop the fighting, then Uchiha Byakuya would have decisively abandoned the system mission of "defeating the One-Eyed Owl" and immediately left with Mado Miyu.

Thankfully, things didn't escalate to that worst-case scenario...

[Ding! Host has successfully completed "Mission Two: Repel the SSS-rank Ghoul 'One-Eyed Owl'", reward: 100 attribute points!]

Task 2 is complete; Task 3 is now activated.

[Task 3: Protect Makoto's safe departure from Ward 24]

[Task Reward: 10 Attribute Points]

Just then, the system's voice rang in my mind.

Although the ceasefire did not count as defeating "One-Eyed Owl," it was at least judged by the system as having repelled "One-Eyed Owl," possibly because "One-Eyed Owl" left first.

However, according to the mission instructions, they also need to protect Makoto Mitsuko.

Because Ward 24 is a place where ghouls operate, even if "One-Eyed Owl" leaves, he may encounter other ghouls at any time.

However, apart from "One-Eyed Owl", almost no other ghouls are a threat, so this mission is not difficult and doesn't give many attribute points.

....................

P.S.: My lower back was feeling uncomfortable today, so the update is a bit late. I guess it's because I've been sitting for long periods in class and in my dorm writing lately. Sitting most of the time, except when I'm sleeping, is really bad for my back...

Chapter 18 Safe Evacuation

“Junior Special Agent Mado, let’s stay here for now and wait for the search team to return and rescue us.”

At this moment, Uchiha Byakuya walked over and said to Mado Wei.

He knew the search team would definitely return with reinforcements, so he could just wait there.

He wasn't very familiar with the situation in the 24th District maze, and he could encounter ghouls at any time, so wandering around or going back the way he came wasn't the best option.

"Ok."

Mado Miya also believes that waiting for rescue here is the best option.

"By the way, the Quinque should also be returned to Jun-Special Class Mado."

Uchiha Byakuya immediately returned the S-rank long spear-type Quinque that he had just borrowed to Mado.

"Hmm... Although this is my Quinque, you are clearly more suited to using it than I am..."

Mado Miyako sighed immediately.

She never expected that her decision to stay behind to cover her subordinates' retreat would ultimately result in her being saved by them.
