What? It Actually Worked?!

"Clatter".

The swamp-like creature fell from the roof, making a sound like a piece of fat being slapped onto a chopping board.

Before that, Jie La Er had already taken a step back to a safe position, and the Chainsaw Sword was already in his hand.

Bai Wei was also observing the monster.

He was no stranger to this monster; in fact, he was quite familiar with it. It was a unique feature of the Lyra map, the "pollutant" that Jie La Er had been talking about. It was a monster born in the "Land of Corruption" bordering Lyra, and its defining characteristic was that it resembled a puddle of mud, hence its nickname among players: the Mud Monster.

It's not particularly formidable, just quite troublesome. Because its form isn't fixed and it has an extremely strong regenerative ability, if you can't inflict irreparable damage on it instantly, it will repeatedly reshape itself, sticking to you like a lump of mud.

Until, you become one of them too.

For example, right now, it is raising its head and constantly making "gurgling" noises at Jie La Er, its meaning unclear, ready to charge at any moment.

If it were the original Ulu, he definitely wouldn't be able to handle this kind of guy, and then Bai Wei could step in and let Ulu use his power. But "Knight of the Evening Star" Jie La Er certainly doesn't need to worry about that. Jie La Er has killed countless of these pollutants, so Bai Wei can just watch for now.

However, there was one point that made Bai Wei slightly concerned.

Shouldn't this thing stay in Contaminated Land? How did it end up in a place like this?

"Gurgle, gurgle!"

The pollutants rushed towards Jie La Er.

Jie La Er swung the massive Chainsaw Sword with one hand, sending it flying in a sharp arc through the air. Before the contaminant could reach him, the sword slashed into its neck, the powerful force driving the blade a third of the way down.

An ordinary person would surely die on the spot from such an attack, but the pollutant would not. It would only stagger, its entire body would be crushed, but it would still survive.

Jie La Er continued to exert force, seemingly trying to crush the pollutants directly.

The contaminant used its limbs to brace itself against Jie La Er's strength, while its body trembled continuously. Before long, more limbs sprouted from its mud-like body, climbing up the Chainsaw Sword one by one, and then spreading along the blade towards Jie La Er.

Jie La Er remained unmoved, only reacting when the contaminants transformed half of the body into limbs, completely enveloping the Chainsaw Sword blade, and then extended a muddy claw towards Jie La Er's sword-wielding hand.

He turned the hilt of his sword.

The Chainsaw Sword, encased in contaminated flesh, emitted a sickening buzzing sound.

The mud claws that were about to touch Jie La Er stopped spreading instantly, and then began to tremble violently.

The next second, the parts of the Chainsaw Sword covered by contaminants suddenly exploded, and the sharp chainsaws on the sword, like fangs, were now spinning at high speed, rapidly sawing the bodies that tried to stop it into pieces of flesh.

The pollutant's small half of its body was instantly strangled, turning into specks of mud and water in the exhaust fumes from the Chainsaw Sword.

Jie La Er also exerted his strength at this moment, and the Chainsaw Sword, which was originally only a few centimeters below the pollutant's neck, was able to continue downwards, seemingly trying to cut the pollutant in two.

The pollutant noticed this, but its intelligence was clearly insufficient to devise a solution. It simply continued to grow more limbs, reaching towards the operating Chainsaw Sword, only to be quickly shredded into dust.

It could only make sounds completely different from before, as if it were screaming in pain, or begging for mercy.

But no matter how much it struggled, Jie La Er did not stop what he was doing, his cold eyes reflecting the pollutants that were constantly dissolving.

It seems the battle is about to end.

However, just as the Chainsaw Sword had already shredded half of the contaminant's body,

With a "click".

The chainsaw slowly stopped rotating, and the sword suddenly became stuck inside the contaminant's body.

This sudden situation startled Bai Wei slightly.

What's going on?

Bai Wei looked at the Chainsaw Sword that had stopped working.

... The power is out?

Even the pollutants that had been roaring as if in pain momentarily froze.

It raised its head and "looked" at Jie La Er with its eyeless face.

But Jie La Er's expression didn't change much; he merely frowned slightly, then extended his other hand, aiming at the hilt of the sword.

It was taken.

"Clap clap clap".

While taking the picture, he also gently shook the sword with his other hand.

This feeling of déjà vu... is just like when the picture on a TV screen turned completely white a long time ago, and the elderly people in the family went up to the TV and slapped it twice, then waved the antenna on the back of the TV around.

It's as if that would make a difference.

After about twenty seconds of this operation, the Chainsaw Sword still did not react, but the contaminants had already reacted.

Its remaining half-body body immediately began to stir, sprouting more limbs in a short time, climbing towards the Chainsaw Sword again, and then generating mud claws that reached out to grab Jie La Er.

But Jie La Er didn't react much, continuing to pat the hilt of the Chainsaw Sword intently while gently shaking the blade to dissipate the fumes trapped inside.

And so those muddy claws stretched out in front of Jie La Er, as if they were about to drag him into the abyss.

Then there was a "click".

Jie La Er's last slap had a reaction.

The next second, the Chainsaw Sword emitted a roar several times louder than before, and the rusty chainsaw began to spin at an even higher frequency.

Bai Wei was shocked.

It actually works like a fucking thing?

The Chainsaw Sword was like a lion roaring after awakening from its slumber.

The mud claws reaching for Jie La Er were instantly severed, and at the same time, the sword seemed to have lost its last obstacle, roaring as it slashed downwards without Jie La Er having to exert any effort.

The pollutant's final form was split in two like a block of tofu. The powerful inertia didn't even stop the Chainsaw Sword from "slashing" immediately; it just smashed into the ground, creating a huge hole.

The pollutants, which surged into the air, were strangled by the upper chainsaw of the Chainsaw Sword before they could even land.

With a "poof" sound.

It turned into the purest mud, splattering all over half of Jie La Er's body, like gray blood.

"Buzz"...

After that, the Chainsaw Sword finally stopped working completely.

Jie La Er, as if nothing had happened, slowly shook the mud off the sword and then put it back on his back.

Then, he stomped on the last palm-sized piece of contaminant on the ground, unlocked the previously locked door, and returned to his house.

Here's a report on the results: the initial subscriptions should have just exceeded 10,000, around 10,400 or 10,500.

Honestly, I was very surprised, really surprised, because this is a new volume that starts after the first volume ends, which means it changes the map. This is usually the least likely thing to happen if you lose followers, but everyone is still willing to contribute a first subscription. I'm really grateful.

Of course, I know that many readers will start to subscribe later, since this book isn't really suitable for continuous reading, but I'm still grateful for everyone's support right now. I will try my best to write this story well and not let the flaws of the previous volume appear in this one. Thank you everyone.
