<3rd POV> 

For only about three-hundred seconds, or, converted, for only five minutes, she is super strengthened. That is the skill 《Ravenous Wolf (Garou)》. 

It’s a rare skill with the same kind of origin as Rou’s 《Trickle of the Poisonous Snake》, but as of right now nothing is happening except Rou’s MP being consumed as she compares her skill to《Ravenous Wolf》, a skill which has a hidden and yet huge demerit.

It doesn’t just increase the death penalty or reduce your defensive abilities.

This skill’s biggest flaw is not the demerits you can see easily, it’s that the user’s perception is totally unchanged.

Just like the Red Wolf that Sukuna fought against, who had speed so fast that all it could do was simple attacks, this skill has the same effect.

As the body is not a machine that calculates its movement with a program, when given something over its specs you wouldn’t be able to control it.

With this skill that just gives you high stats, if that increase can be managed easily there won’t be any problems.

It’s easy to be deceived by assuming the only demerits are the ones on display, but originally you are supposed to「get used」to the skill before it can show its true power.

However.

That is on the assumption that the user is just a normal player.

In a VR game, it’s not unusual to be given physical abilities that are incomparable to reality, and if you train you can get 「used」to them.

Then, if this skill is used for the first time, if it’s by an expert player they will be able to handle the skill without being manipulated by it.

And then, this is one of the exceptions to this.

Recognizing that the strength of her steps was incomparably stronger, Sukuna smiled a little. And suddenly, digging her foot into the ground, her doubled speed exploded.

The enemy before her had shown her trump card. While feeling intoxicated by that fact, Rou, suddenly feeling a chill crawling on her back, reflexively thrust her sword out behind her.

「…!」

A sharp sound of metal resounded as they clashed.

On Sukuna’s first step she had gone around to her back, and on the second step she had come to crush Rou’s head.

For just an instant of time, she had certainly lowered her guard.

However, that lapse had nearly gotten her own head crushed. Knowing that, Rou’s chest started to beat faster.

「A- ha.」

Kill the ones that came before your eyes.

Torture the small fries until they die.

Don’t hesitate to use foul play or to perform an ambush as long as the purpose is to kill.
