Chapter 231: The Corpses Speak
Moving on to the next chapter, everyone looking for Denji began to act.
Makima appeared in a room full of puppet corpses, and the devils and fiends of the Special Operations Division appeared here.
Apparently, they had just launched an operation here and killed the puppets that had been turned into Santa Claus's puppets.
Makima calmly stepped over the corpses and said, "It seems Santa Claus has arrived."
"I'll go clean up these puppets for a while, and Beam will go help Denji."
"Alright! Understood!"
"Princi."
"Yes, Makima."
The Spider Devil hanging upside down from the ceiling said.
"There are many devils in Germany, so I don't know what tricks Santa Claus will use," Makima said. "No matter what happens, we must rescue Denji."
"Leave it to me."
But at that moment, Makima repeated, "Also, a lot of people might die this time...".
"Recover the bodies of our own as much as possible."
The scene returned to Santa Claus, who was calmly drinking coffee in the cafeteria.
However, on the street, the countless puppets began to attack Denji and the others!
Their arms turned into sharp thorns and they followed them to the shopping mall.
But upon entering, they discovered that Kusakabe had already prepared a magic circle.
As the puppets entered, he blew directly at them.
Instantly, they were all petrified.
"Oh! They turned to stone! Amazing!" exclaimed Denji, astonished.
"If you don't want to be like them, stay away," Kusakabe warned. "Stone devils are very fickle!"
And Yoshida also asked what kind of devil it was: "Puppet Devil...".
"Even just by touching their clothes, you will turn into a puppet like them."
"Did you know they were coming?" asked the Angel Devil.
"I heard their footsteps from far away, too regular," Tamaki said. "You'll know if you observe more. The way humans walk has its own personality."
However, another puppet caught up to them.
Kusakabe didn't care at all and petrified it again.
"It's disgusting, how many puppets are there?" said Denji sadly.
"Although I don't know what contract Santa Claus signed..." said Aki Hayakawa in a strange tone, "the more powerful the devil, the greater the price for trading with it...".
"Logically speaking, the number of puppets should be limited...".
This is really strange. If humans are the contractors, they must pay an extremely high price to obtain the ability to turn humans into puppets at will.
Only devils have no side effects when using their abilities.
Just like zombie devils.
Could it be that... Santa Claus is also a puppet devil?
Just as Sakura Yoshida was guessing, the puppets from the manga burst in like a tide.
Kusakabe panicked and hurriedly called Denji and the others to go upstairs.
Since there were too many of them, without a magic circle, Kusakabe couldn't petrify them all at once.
But unexpectedly, they discovered that Denji and Power did not turn into puppets when they touched them.
"Only humans can turn into puppets! It might not work on fiends!" Kusakabe suddenly thought and told Denji and Power.
So Denji and Power began to block the puppet army as the main force.
At the same time, other devil hunters also had room to use their own abilities and eliminate the puppets.
Afterward, they were able to stop for a while and take a deep breath.
"To minimize the damage, we hope to make a quick decision," said Tamaki at that moment. "Once a human becomes a puppet, they can never return to their previous state."
"So what we have to do is not to escape from Santa Claus, but to find him and... kill him!"
Yes, it's useless to escape like this.
The most important thing is that innocent people have been turned into puppets, and the damage will only increase.
We cannot allow innocent people to be sacrificed like this.
They are public safety devil hunters, and they not only have the responsibility to protect Denji.
They also have the responsibility to protect innocent people! "The puppet can only be manipulated in the vicinity, and Santa Claus is nearby," said Kusakabe. "Let's finish this today!"
At that moment, Torik and his master, the last of the three immortal brothers, and Quanxi's Group of Five began to act.
Only Koji Higashiyama was still pitying her beloved car, Xiaoxiaohong, "Alas... It was dented in the collision. I don't know how much it will cost to repair...".
This is simply... too miserable and too real.
Many workers with cars felt the same upon seeing this.
They felt sorry for Koji and Xiaoxiaohong for an instant.
Meanwhile, the police were still fighting Santa Claus's puppet army.
However, one of the devil hunters, who could easily kill the puppets, dodged them! "What?!"
"They're learning!"
Aki Hayakawa noticed and exclaimed in horror.
"Ah..."
The Angel Devil couldn't take it anymore and said directly, "Retreat! You useless people!".
Then, the halo on his head moved horizontally and fell with his voice, "Five years of use!"
A longsword appeared in the halo.
"I'm sorry, everyone... leave this to me," the Angel Devil apologized, addressing the puppets that were killing him in front of him.
Then he brandished the longsword, and the puppets were killed and fell to the ground in an instant.
"Is this the legendary weapon of life?" asked Tamaki.
"It could have been used a long time ago!" said Aki Hayakawa with dissatisfaction.
"It's easy to say, but it's not that easy," said the Angel Devil helplessly.
"Can angel devils not only absorb the lives of others, but also use them to make powerful weapons?" asked Sakura Yoshida, surprised at that moment.
Kusakabe and the others also began to ask for help from the devil hunters at headquarters.
But the scene changed, and the devil hunters from headquarters came to their aid, but they were also confined to the alley due to the puppets' ability to transform just by touching them.
At that moment, they met Quanxi and her group.
"Ladies, just like before," said Quanxi without any expression. "I'll leave you the leftovers."
Then she faced the devil hunters who came to help and drew one of the longswords she wore at her waist.
Quanxi landed on the ground and adopted an attack stance.
The devil hunters were on high alert, ready to receive Quanxi's next attack.
But in an instant!
She passed the public safety devil hunters at a dizzying speed! At the same time, she passed the puppet army.
She appeared in the shopping mall in an instant and looked at the longsword she was holding.
The sword was in tatters, with countless holes all over it.
It looked as if it had cut a lot.
"Is she gone...?"
The public safety devil hunters were still stunned, not knowing what had happened.
"The one who disappeared is still nearby!"
But the leader was still very alert, thinking that Quanxi was hiding near them and would attack them at any moment, and said.
However, his words provoked laughter from Pingtsi, Quanxi's companion, in front of him.
"Hehehe..."
"The corpse is speaking."
This completely infuriated the public safety devil hunters on the other side, and the leader ordered directly, "It seems like a stealth devil, Sato, use your devil!"
"Yes!"
But at that moment... a "line" began to appear in the middle of Sato's head and began to deviate.
Not just him, but all the public safety devil hunters who were caught by Quanxi, but suddenly the upper half of their heads split open!
They fell to the ground!
Not only the public safety devil hunters, but also the puppets in the streets and shopping malls were decapitated, and some, with their bodies cut in half.
Quanxi killed thousands or even tens of thousands of puppets in an instant... Including the devil hunters who came to reinforce public safety!
Quanxi's powerful strength is evident here! "Really strong!"
Sakura Yoshida couldn't help but sigh.
After Quanxi killed the puppets in front of Denji and them, she killed Aki Hayakawa and the others!
Aki Hayakawa noticed...
After all, he had made a deal with the Future Devil! "Angel! Nakamura! Watch out!"
Aki Hayakawa drew his weapon and lunged at the Angel Devil and the devil hunter Nakamura, who had just used the power of the agreement to repel the puppet, shouting.
But... it was too late.
In the next scene, Nakamura's head was cut off in the air by Quanxi's swift cut.
However, Aki Hayakawa saved the Angel Devil and blocked Quanxi's attack.
But even after blocking it, Quanxi's powerful force made Aki Hayakawa and the Angel Devil fall to the ground uncontrollably.
Quanxi stopped and appeared in front of Denji, Power, and the others.
At the same time, the Violence Fiend and Koji also came out from the shore, but he faced Quanxi's companions.
"I'm finally separated from Quanxi," he said, obviously not wanting to meet Quanxi.
Pingtsi used her ability to see the contracted devil on the shore and said, "This person's devil is... claws, knives, needles... just sinister things."
"But he's just a small fish..." she said with a smile. "This guy has nothing to negotiate with the devil, how about we divide him among the four of us?".
Sakura Yoshida laughed and said, "How could Kishibe be a small fish, and this way of raising the flag... they will be defeated?".
Kishibe can easily defeat Denji and Power, how could he be a small fish? But the scene changed and focused on the battle between Quanxi and Denji.
Quanxi's three knives were worn out and completely broken, but she still easily defeated Kusakabe and Tamaki with her own hands at an extremely high speed.
Only Yoshida summoned his contracted devil, the Octopus Devil, to block Quanxi's attack.
However, Quanxi quickly knocked down Yoshida with the help of the Octopus Devil. Just as she drew a knife to kill Yoshida...
"Quanxi."
Pingtsi and Long, Quanxi's companions, appeared on the shore with Quanxi as a hostage.
