Chapter 56: Gecko Fleed
[Ding! The host engages in combat with the S-rated ghoul "Gecko" for the first time — Reward: 10 Fusion Points!]
Ryoma rose from his seat, face calm and unreadable. With a flick of his wrist, his Quinque suitcase unfolded, transforming into the gray, jagged blade known as Thorn.
He had come here knowing this confrontation was inevitable. Fueguchi Asaki was still alive — this timeline had shifted in his favor, but Yamori had to be stopped.
A nearby human patient, panicked by the escalating tension, bolted for the door. Unfortunately, his escape route required him to pass dangerously close to Yamori.
But Yamori barely spared him a glance.
The ghoul's twisted grin widened — his focus was solely on Ryoma now.
"Pity you're not a ghoul," Yamori sneered. "I could've had some real fun with you..."
His fingers cracked loudly as he flexed his knuckles.
Then he lunged.
Yamori didn't even bother to activate his kagune — his raw physical strength was enough to overpower most humans. His fist rocketed toward Ryoma's skull like a hammer.
