"Yūichirō's Outburst (Part 2)"
"Do you know how to get him back to normal?"
"No idea. Maybe we can try reasoning with him, but if that fails, he might die," Guren Ichinose replied.
Hearing that even Guren Ichinose had no solution, Aoki was momentarily speechless, but he didn't give up. There had to be a way.
Just then, Ferid Bathory appeared behind him. "Hey, don't go anywhere. The fun's just beginning."
Completely focused on Yūichirō Hyakuya, Aoki didn't react to Ferid Bathory's surprise attack.
He wasn't fazed, however. Ferid Bathory's attack passed right through him.
"It's best to be cautious until you fully understand your opponent's abilities," Aoki said, a smirk playing on his lips as he watched Ferid Bathory's shocked expression. He raised Yōitsu.
The moment Ferid Bathory was fully through him, Aoki swung his sword with incredible speed.
Ferid Bathory wasn't easily defeated. Though stunned that his attack had passed through Aoki, he reacted quickly, dodging the blade.
He still lost an arm, but minimized the damage. A slightly slower reaction, and he would have been bisected. A Cursed Gear bisect is fatal, even for him.
"Close call! Think you could help me reattach this arm?" Ferid Bathory asked cheerfully, pointing to his severed limb on the ground.
Aoki was speechless at Ferid Bathory's optimism. He wouldn't be so cheerful if he'd nearly been killed.
"You…" Aoki started, but the berserk Yūichirō Hyakuya suddenly appeared before him, grabbing his neck with impossible speed.
Aoki was thrown to the ground, choked, unable to breathe.
However, activating one of his pre-placed Flying Raijin kunai, he effortlessly broke free.
But a question lingered: "Why? Why did he attack me? It doesn't make sense. There are so many people here, and we're relatively far apart. Why me first? Am I a threat because I'm too strong? That seems unlikely."
"Wait, threat…" Aoki looked at Yōitsu in his hand.
Meanwhile, after freeing himself, Yūichirō Hyakuya paused, then focused on Shinoa Hīragi, the closest person.
Shinoa Hīragi panicked, grabbing her fallen key and transforming it into a scythe.
"Sinners… sinners… kill… kill all sinners… leave none alive," Yūichirō Hyakuya muttered, advancing on Shinoa Hīragi.
He charged. Shinoa Hīragi, raising her scythe, was easily knocked down.
As Yūichirō Hyakuya raised his weapon to finish her, Mikaela Hyakuya rushed to her aid, but he was too slow.
A figure appeared before Shinoa Hīragi, blocking the fatal blow.
It was Aoki.
"Seriously? Fighting those vampire nobles was hard enough, and now you're adding to my troubles?" Aoki's Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan glared at Yūichirō Hyakuya. A demonic black mark appeared on his left temple, and his aura shifted dramatically.
The Demon Slayer Mark!
With the Mark activated, Aoki's combat power increased by two thousand, significantly improving his chances against the berserk Yūichirō Hyakuya. He even seemed to have a slight edge.
Seeing Aoki block his attack, Yūichirō Hyakuya raised his fist to strike.
A faint light emanated from Aoki's right eye.
"Tsukuyomi!"
Instantly, Yūichirō Hyakuya froze.
Within Yūichirō Hyakuya's mindscape…
"Asuramaru, what's going on? The non-human part of me is going berserk?" Yūichirō Hyakuya stood in a white void. Beside him was a black-haired figure – a man – standing on an upright katana.
Asuramaru, the demon inhabiting Yūichirō Hyakuya's Cursed Gear, his contract partner, more of a business partner than a companion.
"Yes, even I, a demon, find that power terrifying. You'll be hard-pressed to escape this," Asuramaru said. Suddenly, he sensed another presence.
Yūichirō Hyakuya felt it too; another presence had invaded his mindscape.
A blinding crimson light flashed, and a figure materialized before them.
Aoki.
"Aoki? Why are you here? This is my mindscape," Yūichirō Hyakuya asked, confused. Asuramaru watched Aoki with suspicion.
"I'll make this brief. The real you is completely out of control. You almost killed Shinoa Hīragi. I'm just a spirit here. I need to find the source of that power and eliminate it, or even I can't stop you," Aoki explained concisely.
Yūichirō Hyakuya felt immense guilt. "What? I almost killed Shinoa Hīragi? How could I…" What happen? I don't know.....How could I?
"Don't blame yourself. It's something even I can't touch. Losing control of your consciousness isn't unusual," Asuramaru said calmly.
