Butcher Demon

Chapter 262

When I turned to look, Yasmin was holding my arm.

“Such……miracle.”

With a maniacal smile, she brings herself closer.

“Oh! The God of Vengeance still didn’t abandon me!!!”

A black web spread from her hand and crawls up my arm.

A doppelganger…….

–This, is this thing….

The same thing that Titania uses?

That thing that goes into the brain!!

“A Butcher’s body is supposedly…….incompatible for a woman! But the vessel developed a body with abnormal hormones, it incubates a soul that is no longer male or female, a soul that maintains its amorphous form…..no way…no way.”

Yasmin clings to my arm, mumbling.

“I never thought that the seeds I sowed will lead to a miracle like this!!”

“So noisy”

I tried to shake her off, but my arm refused to move.

It’s being held back by an unbelievable force.

–No, it’s not.

It isn’t that Yasmin’s grip is strong. My arm felt numb and weak.

“The miracle that has returned back to me!!”

I wanted to use my other ability to pull Yasmin off, but Whisley’s shot was working as a very effective block. Now I can’t deactivate the <Tainted Flesh>.

The Checkmate was overturned in an instant.

Now it’s me who is being checkmated.

“You!”

“If your butcher’s body has been normalized, then even I–“

Yasmin put her other hand on my face.

I felt a warm, moist sensation as something was seeping in through my cheeks.

The altered woman’s uncanny face filled my field of vision. The smell of sludge in my nose made me feel more and more nauseous as my face was brought closer to hers.

“—-This body, I will take it!!”

” Are you that out of your mind that you want to be a butcher? Are you crazy?”

“Haha…… Ignorance is a sin, Gevaudan. You can sleep with that sin. At the very least, let me sing you a lullaby.”

『Lydia! Destroy Jasmine’s mind!!』

『No, stay away, all of you! We don’t have any countermeasure, everyone might get taken over!』

『Do you have a rubber suit, Arshella!?』

『There’s no way I brought that kind of stuff here!?』

『What about Tyriel’s thorns?』

『It’s useless if you’re dealing with shapeless body like slime』

Abigail’s shout blasted away the panicked voices of the four girls.

“Captain, shoot Yasmin!!”

“…………”

After a moment’s hesitation, Whisley shook his head.

“–We’re soldiers. We can’t shoot our superiors.”

Yasmin glanced at him and laughed.

“–That’s right, Captain Whisley. That is the man who holds the powerful Fox team together. If you are able, kill those women over there. They’re the enemy. Now get to work, soldier.”

Yasmin brings me close to her face, almost kissing me.

“–And get rid of that traitor woman Abigail, we don’t need her anymore……. We don’t need Translinger either! I no longer need the help of subhumans! As long as I can control this <Flesh>, I can do it!”

“Captain, Yasmin is a wicked alien, she is responsible for the almost annihilation of the alien world, and now she wants to drag the earth into it!”

“You have no proof, Abigail. Surely she has passed a DNA test.”

“That’s……” Abigail mumbled…….

“This Butcher is just a Cradle.” Yasmin said.

“If this Flesh with the power of the planet and my brains combined, even the Faceless Papameyan is not a threat to me. I will avenge my brother’s death and eventually, will become a blade that reaches Narus. —- Hand it to me, Butcher!!”

*Squish* Yasmin’s head melted.

Her head became an inky tar and clung to my face.

I managed to grab hold of Yasmin’s body and clawed at it, trying to pull it away, but I felt no feedback as if I were grabbing a slimy thing. I knew it, it was really a slime.

“–Kuh, why……don’t get in…… my…… way!!”

I heard Yasmin’s puzzled voice.

Overlapping it was Abigail’s urgent pleading.

“Shoot it!! Please—-Whisley!!”

Suddenly, a ferocious blast ripped into the back of Yasmin’s head.

Another shot followed. The precise shot ripped off Yasmin’s body that struck to me.

“—-“

Yasmin’s shapeless body twitched.

The eyeballs that were lodged in there gawked and looked at Whisley.

“…… Captain, How are you going to explain this?”

“We, the Fox Team, exist to protect humanity.”

Whisley said clearly.

“A group of professionals that will fight the hunt for aliens off this planet. As its captain, only humans can order me. Not alien.”

“I–“

“No such human can do that. You monster.”

Whisley’s bullet catches Yasmin again, who continues to speak as she melts into mush.

“–Ooooooooooo……”

Yasmin slid off me powerlessly.

She tries to return to her female form on the floor, but it doesn’t work, and she stands up in a nearly crumbling form.

“……M-my form……!”

Yasmin pointed at me with trembling fingers.

“–Hurry and get up, Garnier!!”

A gunshot came from the other side.

Shortly after, Whisley tumbled to the ground, his upper body shaking.

“Guh!”

He quickly got up, but he was bleeding beneath the hand that held his shoulder.

“Whisley!! —- kuh!”

InoRyder held up her assault rifle, but she was also shot and rolled on the floor.

I slowly turned my head.

Just then, I saw Garnier, holding the revolver, shoving the debris away, and standing up.
