CHAPTER 29: SLAUGHTERER (LV.1)

The blue ribbon tied around Mumei's neck was not just an ordinary decoration.

It was a presence similar to a "Switch."

As a Kabaneri, Mumei had been fighting against Kabane since childhood. Due to her extensive training, she was not only skilled in close combat but also excelled with various weapons. She could be considered a perfect combat expert.

However, that was in her normal state.

Mumei possessed an extraordinary physical ability that far surpassed that of an ordinary Kabaneri when she untied the blue ribbon around her neck. So, the blue ribbon could be considered as Mumei's switch. Once removed, her strength would undergo an extraordinary enhancement, making her exceptionally powerful even among Kabaneri.

This was the reason she could treat hundreds or even thousands of Kabane as if they were nothing. With her body's abilities surpassing those of a regular Kabane and her proficiency in various combat techniques, Mumei had no choice but to be strong.

However, when fighting in this state, if the duration was too long, it would impose a significant burden on her, leading to exhaustion.

Therefore, if Mumei fought in this state for an extended period of time, she would fall into a deep sleep directly.

Precisely because of this, after arriving in the garage, Mumei's mind and energy suddenly became exhausted, causing her to feel drowsy.

Although Fang Li didn't notice it initially, it was likely that Mumei had already untied the ribbon while clearing the way for herself and only put it back on after they arrived in the garage.

Now, in order to support Fang Li, Mumei untied the ribbon around her neck once again.

"I don't have much time left."

Amid Ikoma's astonished gaze, Mumei aimed her Steam Pistol forward, and her originally amber-colored eyes turned a crimson hue.

This was a physical characteristic exhibited by Mumei when she entered an excited state, with her mind and energy highly focused on her targets.

"If you want to kill the Kabane, go ahead. I'll provide support through shooting from here."

After all, considering Mumei's current physical condition, it would be quite a strain for her to charge into battle again.

"Well then, let's begin…"

As she spoke, the crimson hue in Mumei's eyes intensified, and sparks began to fly from the barrels of her two Steam Pistols.

"Bang Bang Bang Bang—!"

The sound of gunshots from the red Steam Pistols was exceptionally clear, even amidst the chaotic shooting of Steam Guns shot by the Samurai.

Bullets that were invisible to the naked eye turned into fast-flying weapons, consecutively hitting one Kabane after another.

"Clang Clang Clang Clang—!"

Each bullet from the Steam Pistols produced a sound akin to a metal collision. Immediately, the Kabane that were hit one by one suffered tremendous impacts, causing them to freeze in place or topple over.

"That's it!"

Fang Li's ice-blue Mystic Eyes sparkled with unprecedented brightness as he witnessed this scene.

Facing the Kabane that were struck one by one and unable to adjust their posture, Fang Li charged directly toward them.

"Pū Chī—!"

His dagger slashed through, causing blood to spray around it.

"Pū Chī— Pū Chī— Pū Chī—!" Amidst the tearing sound of flesh, Fang Li completely transformed into a Slaughterer.

His figure was like a shadow.

His speed was as swift as the wind.

The lethal weapons in his hands acted like ghostly claws as they consecutively pierced through the glowing hearts of Kabane.

"Aaah, aaah—!"

Each Kabane emitted a pained howl before collapsing on the ground one after another, and they no longer made any sound after that.

In this way, with the support of Mumei's shooting, Fang Li maneuvered through the Kabane army, killing the Kabane that had been hit by Mumei's Steam Pistol bullets and immobilized on the spot, one by one.

"You killed a Kabane, Gained 100 Exchange Points."

"You killed a Kabane, Gained 100 Exchange Points."

"You killed a Kabane, Gained 100 Exchange Points."

"You killed a Kabane, Gained 100 Exchange Points."

"You killed a Kabane, Gained 100 Exchange Points."

The mechanical-sounding notifications from the system echoed in Fang Li's mind however, Fang Li could no longer hear anything.

At this moment, Fang Li was completely immersed in the feeling of blood and wailing of the Kabane, with only crack-like lines in his eyes as targets, and his mind resonating with a single voice.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

As if hearing Fang Li's inner roar.

The next second, the sound of the system notification suddenly changed.

"Serial Number 11273 enters the state of slaughter, comprehends Skill———— Slaughterer."

…

Slaughterer (Lv.1)

-Passive Skill.

-Attack speed +10%.

-Movement speed +20%.

-Skill Rank can be upgraded.

…

"————!"

The sudden system notification pulled Fang Li out of his state of slaughter, leaving him surprised and delighted.

A Skill!

It's actually a Skill!

Unexpectedly, in such a situation, he actually comprehended a Skill on his own!

This was truly a pleasant surprise!

In the Main God's Dimension, the only things that can be exchanged are various items and equipment. Skills cannot be obtained through an exchange in the Main God's Dimension.

It is said to be a measure to encourage the main Divine Envoys to travel to different Dungeon Worlds.

In each Dungeon World, various Skills emerge endlessly, serving as the characteristics of each world. The Main God's Dimension encourages main Divine Envoys to personally enter and travel through these worlds, obtain this windfall, and become stronger.

Therefore, the Divine Envoys travel to different Dungeon Worlds not only to gain Exchange Points but also to acquire the unique Skills of those worlds.

Apart from acquiring Skills in various ways in Dungeon Worlds, main Divine Envoys naturally have other methods to learn Skills.

For example, like Fang Li, one can comprehend Skills on his own due to certain reasons.

But this is a relatively rare method.

Therefore, Fang Li was both surprised and delighted.

While feeling the joy in his heart, Fang Li's slaughter did not stop.

Though it was not obvious to normal humans, Mumei noticed it the change in Fang Li.

Fang Li, who was moving through the Kabane army, had noticeably increased his speed.

Whether it was attack speed or movement speed.

"What happened?" Mumei was somewhat surprised. "How did he suddenly get stronger?"

Other than Mumei, the rest of the people were equally shocked by the scene in front of him.

Of course, the reason why the others were shocked was not because they noticed that Fang Li suddenly got stronger, but because they saw the bloody scene of the slaughter.

"He…" Ikoma exclaimed, expressing the thoughts of everyone present.

"He can actually kill Kabane?"

That was the reason everyone was shocked.

"That guy…" Konochi Kurusu's expression couldn't help but become serious.

"He actually hid his strength…"
