Just as Ryuji was holding the person who had suddenly attacked him tightly against the wall, and suppressing him tightly with his body, a cluster of dark red flames suddenly appeared on one side of that person's shoulder. The shape of the flames was like wings.
Instantly, bone-like exoskeletons, similar to long swords, suddenly grew out of Ryuji's arms at the elbow position. These exoskeleton long swords didn't need Ryuji to grasp them and hold them in his hand. Instead, they were connected to the ulna on Ryuji's arms.
This weapon, similar to a long sword, that grew out of the bones was actually Ryuji's kagune.
Kagune was the weapon of Ghouls. It could not only be used for battle, but also for hunting food.
Kagune was divided into four types: Rinkaku, Koukaku, Ukaku, and Bikaku.
The Rinkaku's kakuhou grew near the kidneys, so its regeneration ability was the strongest of all kagune. Its attack power was also the strongest of all kagune. But because of this, the Rinkaku's defense was the weakest compared to other kagune. Its shape was that of a tentacle that could be freely stretched and contracted, and its surface was covered with a layer of scales.
The Bikaku's kakuhou grew near the tailbone of the spine. It was the most balanced of all kagune, so it was the most mediocre, and also the most common type of kagune among Ghouls. The shape of the Bikaku was the same as the Rinkaku, presenting a tentacle shape. But the two were essentially different. The method to distinguish them, in addition to looking at the location of the kakuhou's growth, was to distinguish them from the shape of the tentacles. The surface of the Rinkaku's kagune had scales, while the Bikaku's kagune didn't have scales.
The Koukaku's kakuhou grew on the lower edge of the scapula. It was a type of kakuhou with the highest concentration of Rc cells in the kakuhou, so the Koukaku's defense was the strongest. Its shape was generally a sword or shield. When necessary, it could also wrap around the upper body, forming a kagune armor. But because the weight of the Koukaku was very large, while providing strong defense, it also affected the speed of the Koukaku holder. So the Koukaku was the most cumbersome of all kagune.
The Ukaku's kakuhou grew near the shoulders, and its kakuhou position was very close to the Koukaku's. But because of the different positions, the forms and characteristics of the kakuhou were also very different.
The Ukaku was the most special type of kagune among all kagune. It didn't have a fixed form. It was a gaseous form like the flames sprayed out by a flame thrower. It wasn't completely materialized. Because that gaseous form was more like wings, it was called Ukaku.
Because of the Ukaku's own characteristics, the Ghouls with Ukaku were not only the fastest and most mobile, but they could also achieve short-term hovering flight.
The Ukaku's attack mode was to condense the gaseous kagune into crystal-like spikes and launch them out, launching remote attacks on the enemy, with the characteristics of a wide attack range and a long attack distance.
Although the Ukaku had many advantages, it had a fatal flaw, which was that it couldn't fight for a long time, because the state of the kagune was always in a gaseous form, so the Rc cells in the kakuhou were constantly being consumed.
Looking back at Ryuji's kagune now, it obviously didn't belong to any of these four types of kagune. However, this kagune was the most suitable for Ryuji, because Ryuji was now the most skilled at using a sword. So if Ryuji was given these kagune, Ryuji would really need a period of training to be able to fight well.
Perhaps this was a kagune that the Super-Dimensional Transversal System had customized for Ryuji!
