Chainsaw Man: Mangekyo Sharingan

Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Lifespan Weapons

Kotone Asaba helped the Angel Devil and Karana translate for each other. Not only did the Angel Devil’s language learning become much easier, but with Kotone’s help, he was also able to communicate with Karana normally.

Precisely because the Angel Devil liked Karana, Kotone’s help meant so much to him.

During the time Kotone helped translate for the Angel Devil and Karana, the Angel Devil’s Affinity also continued to rise.

The Angel Devil studied the local language with Karana’s help while chatting and laughing with her.

Kotone, who was only responsible for translating beside them, looked like a third wheel, but that was not actually the case.

Reze was draped over him, her arms looped around his neck from behind. He could even feel the soft pressure of her chest against the back of his head.

Reze kept leaning on him in that position the entire time, and he did not feel uncomfortable at all. With his Constitution, even if Reze pressed against him all day, he would not feel tired.

If Kotone had not brought Reze with him, then he really would have become a third wheel right now.

It was not until evening that the Angel Devil and Karana ended their language lesson for the day.

The Angel Devil had learned quite a few basic words. As long as he memorized them more and used them more, he would become familiar with them.

"I, go, make dinner. You, wait."

At that moment, Karana slowly spoke while gesturing with her hands.

She was using the basic words she had just taught the Angel Devil today and putting them together.

Kotone could tell that Karana was trying to communicate directly with the Angel Devil without his translation help, so this time, he did not translate and instead let the Angel Devil and Karana try to communicate on their own.

The Angel Devil reacted for a moment, then roughly understood Karana’s meaning. He then nodded and answered with the local word for "okay."

They were finally able to have a simple exchange. Karana immediately became overjoyed, her smile dazzlingly bright as she happily ran out with quick little steps.

"Angel, you have special feelings for that human girl named Karana, don’t you?"

As soon as Karana left, Reze asked the Angel Devil with great interest.

"Special feelings? I suppose the word should be ’like’... But there’s no point. I’m a devil. Karana probably wouldn’t be able to accept me."

The Angel Devil’s tone and expression were both very calm.

Perhaps this was because he was a devil. He would not blush easily like a human boy. He calmly admitted that he liked Karana, and was merely worried whether Karana would be willing to accept him as a devil.

"No... You really couldn’t tell? That girl likes you too. How could she not accept you?"

Kotone was slightly surprised. This Angel guy was a little dense.

It was probably also because he was a devil. He did not understand human emotions very well yet, so he could not accurately judge how Karana saw him.

At this point in the timeline, the Angel Devil probably had not been in contact with Karana for very long. It was only later that he gradually understood Karana liked him too.

Unfortunately, by that time, it was already somewhat too late. Makima appeared and controlled him into killing Karana with his own hands, along with all the villagers.

Letting the Angel Devil understand Karana’s feelings ahead of time was something Kotone felt was quite necessary.

"Huh? Karana likes me too?"

The Angel Devil truly had not noticed.

He only felt that Karana, like the other villagers, treated him very well. As a male, he instinctively had a more favorable impression of the opposite sex. After spending more time with her, he gradually came to like Karana.

He was not actually very clear about the emotion called "liking," so he could not judge whether Karana liked him too.

On top of that, because of his identity as a devil, he subconsciously believed there would ultimately be a gap between humans and devils.

"It seems you still don’t understand human emotions very well for now. Let me analyze it for you from a human perspective. That girl might not be deeply in love with you yet, but her affection for you is definitely not low."

Kotone said this to the Angel Devil.

"Koto is right. As long as someone isn’t too dense, they can tell. That girl definitely likes you."

Reze said this as well.

Hearing both Kotone and Reze say this, it was difficult for the Angel Devil not to believe them.

"Thank you for telling me. I’ll keep spending time with her and see."

Although the Angel Devil still could not be absolutely certain of Karana’s feelings, he now had some idea. He would not remain as oblivious as before.

[Angel Devil Affinity +5%]

The Angel Devil’s Affinity was rising quite quickly. Kotone had only just met Angel less than a day ago, yet his Affinity progress had already reached 25%.

"By the way, can you tell me what the outside world is like?"

At that moment, the Angel Devil said, "I haven’t been in the human world for long, and I haven’t been to the outside world either. I’ve been living here with everyone the whole time, so I know almost nothing about the world outside."

"The outside world? Simply put, it’s still a situation where humans and devils are fighting each other. There’s a specialized profession called Devil Hunters. They make contracts with devils to obtain power and fight against devils."

Kotone patiently explained, "With devils like you, ones that are relatively friendly toward humans, or devils that surrender after being defeated by humans, we humans can make contracts with them. By paying some kind of price, we can obtain devil power."

"I see. I remember you said you were Devil Hunters. No wonder you came here to observe me."

The Angel Devil said, "If I were the kind of devil who had hurt humans, you probably would have killed me directly, right?"

"That’s right. But the reality is, you aren’t that kind of devil."

Kotone said this calmly.

"Making contracts with humans... I do seem to instinctively know I can do that, but I doubt many people would want my ability..."

The Angel Devil sighed.

His ability had only one core, and that was human lifespan.

He could drain human lifespan, and only human lifespan, then create various lifespan weapons from it.

In other words, if he did not absorb human lifespan, then he could not create lifespan weapons.

He felt that even he himself did not want to harm humans and absorb their lifespan, so humans who made contracts with him to obtain his devil power would want to do that even less. However, if no lifespan was absorbed, then his ability was completely useless.

"That’s hard to say. There are always some more extreme people."

Kotone said this.

In terms of ability alone, he felt that the Angel Devil’s ability was truly strong.

He absorbed human lifespan as a reserve. The more stored lifespan consumed when creating a lifespan weapon, the stronger the weapon created would be. Even the weapon’s form would change.

For example, the weapon created by consuming a thousand years of lifespan was the Spear of Longinus. When the thousand-year weapon was used, it even came with special effects. Three unknown humanoid monsters would appear in midair, and between the three monsters would be a ring of starry space. The Spear of Longinus seemed to pierce through space from outer space.

Makima had used this ability to severely injure Pochita in his black Chainsaw form. Although that had been because Pochita voluntarily blocked the damage for Kobeni Higashiyama, and his own strength had been weakened by being worshiped by humans, the power of a thousand-year weapon still could not be underestimated.

However, Kotone did not know whether the thousand-year lifespan weapon was the upper limit. If there were also ten-thousand-year lifespan weapons, that would be even more terrifying.

The only headache was the lifespan aspect. Human lifespan had to be converted into power.

"By the way, aside from absorbing lifespan, do you have any other abilities?"

Kotone deliberately brought up this topic.

If he had not been holding the original plot in his hands, logically speaking, he should not yet know that the Angel Devil could create lifespan weapons.

And because he was curious about the upper limit of the Angel Devil’s lifespan weapons, he first pretended not to know anything and brought up this topic before asking about the upper limit.

"I do. I can turn the lifespan I absorb into all kinds of weapons. But right now, I haven’t absorbed even the slightest amount of lifespan, so I can’t make anything."

The Angel Devil did not hide it and told Kotone directly.

"Creating lifespan weapons... Then logically, the more lifespan used, the stronger the weapon created, right?"

Kotone continued asking.

"Yes. I can indeed create lifespan weapons with different numbers of years."

The Angel Devil nodded.

"What’s the highest number of years? Sorry, I’m asking a lot. I’m mainly just curious."

Kotone asked.

"It’s fine. This isn’t something I can’t talk about. The highest seems to be a thousand years. A thousand years is already quite high. Right now, I don’t even have one year of lifespan stored, so I can’t even create the lowest five-year lifespan weapon."

The Angel Devil did not seem to mind at all.

"A thousand years. I understand."

That made sense.

The Spear of Longinus created from a thousand years of lifespan was already strong enough. It was normal for that to be the upper limit of the ability.

If it were ten thousand years, he would have to absorb the lifespans of at least a hundred humans, and it would still be a one-time weapon that vanished after use. The next time it was used, lifespan would have to be consumed again.

Reze, who was beside them, did not interrupt randomly. As she listened to Koto and the Angel Devil’s conversation, she also came to understand Angel’s ability. It was indeed just as Koto had said, a very special ability.

She simply did not know how strong the lifespan weapons the Angel Devil mentioned actually were.

"Let’s return to the original topic. Do you want to go to the outside world in the future?"

At that moment, Kotone said this.

As for the Gun Devil, he did not plan to mention it to the Angel Devil. Explaining it until the other party understood would be quite troublesome, and there was not much need.

"Maybe. At least for now, I don’t want to go out yet. Living here with everyone is already pretty good. If I go outside, it will definitely be troublesome, right? Maybe some Devil Hunters would chase me down. Just thinking about it sounds incredibly exhausting."

The Angel Devil had no real desire to go out. As someone who only wanted to take it easy, the thing he hated most was troublesome situations.

"The outside world really isn’t as good for you as staying here. But this place also can’t remain peaceful forever. What if one day a devil appears, or even a devil you can’t resist..."

Kotone was naturally referring to Makima with those words.

However, even an ordinary devil would be enough to give the Angel Devil trouble. If the Angel Devil did not absorb human lifespan, his combat ability was no different from an ordinary person’s. If a devil appeared when that happened, he would have to force himself to absorb part of a villager’s lifespan to create a weapon and fight back.

"...Then there’s nothing I can do, is there? Am I supposed to take everyone to the outside world and seek protection?"

The Angel Devil had never considered this problem before. Now, everyone here, especially Karana, had become someone he cared about. After hearing Kotone say this, he really began to worry.

"That won’t be necessary. If I have the ability to help, I’ll definitely help you. If a devil really appears when that time comes, just call me. Under normal circumstances, I can arrive immediately at any time."

Kotone said this.

"Arrive immediately? And what does calling you mean?"

The Angel Devil immediately looked puzzled.

"I’ll demonstrate."

As soon as Kotone finished speaking, he was drawn into the spatial vortex formed by his right-eye Kamui in an instant. It looked as though he had vanished into thin air.

The Angel Devil froze slightly as he watched. How had the other party suddenly disappeared?

The next moment, Kotone appeared behind the Angel Devil and gently patted him on the shoulder.

The Angel Devil immediately turned around, only to be shocked to find that the other party had appeared behind him at some point.

"This is my ability. As long as you can contact me in time, I can arrive in time, no matter how far away I am from you."

Kotone smiled faintly.

Of course, he was not helping the Angel Devil for no reason. First, from his god’s-eye view, he already had some fondness for the Angel Devil himself. Second, if a devil really did appear here in the future, then it would be Makima.

This counted as placing a watchpoint here. At the very least, he would not discover too late that Makima had already come to the human world.

As for whether the Angel Devil could contact him in time before being controlled by Makima, that would depend on the Angel Devil’s luck.

[Angel Devil Affinity +5%]

The Angel Devil’s Affinity immediately increased again. "Then how do I contact you? Is it that phone thing you mentioned?"

"That’s right. I’ll go get one for you now. More precisely, a cell phone. Then I’ll teach you how to use it. Give me a moment."

After saying this, Kotone disappeared again.

A short while later, he returned, now holding a cell phone in his hand.

"This is a cell phone. You can use this phone to call and contact me."

Kotone explained this to the Angel Devil.

In truth, he felt he could consider making a contract with the Angel Devil. However, the prerequisite was that the contract’s price had to be negligible for him. That should not be hard. Once the Angel Devil’s Affinity was high enough later, the contract conditions would naturally be easy to discuss.

Under the premise that there were no real negative effects, and that the ability was powerful enough, there was naturally no such thing as having too many abilities. The Angel Devil’s ability was absolutely strong enough.

Besides, that thousand-year weapon, the Spear of Longinus, was not only strong but also cool. Right, the main point was that it was cool.

As for the lifespan issue, it was actually not difficult to solve. People like death row inmates or those who genuinely wanted euthanasia could have their lifespans absorbed. The process would simply be a little troublesome.

The process of dying from having one’s lifespan absorbed was painless. For death row inmates and people who truly wanted euthanasia, it was undoubtedly a very good option.
