The blue shackle tied around Mumei's neck was not merely an ordinary accessory.
It was something akin to a "switch."
As a Kabaneri, Mumei had fought Kabane since childhood and undergone extremely professional training. Not only was she highly skilled in close-quarters combat, but she was also proficient with all kinds of weapons. She could be called a perfect combat specialist.
But that was in her normal state.
Mumei possessed a constitution that allowed her physical abilities to far surpass those of ordinary Kabane once she removed the blue shackle around her neck.
Thus, that blue shackle could be considered Mumei's switch. Once removed, her strength would undergo an extraordinary increase and become exceptionally powerful.
That was why she could treat hundreds or even thousands of Kabane as though they were nothing.
With physical abilities far beyond those of ordinary Kabane and mastery over all manner of combat techniques, it was impossible for Mumei not to be strong.
However, fighting in this state for too long would place a considerable burden on her body, making her easily fatigued.
Therefore, if she fought in this state for an extended period, Mumei would fall directly into sleep.
That was precisely why, after arriving at the garage, Mumei had suddenly become so exhausted and kept feeling sleepy.
Although Fang Li had not noticed at first, she had likely already removed her shackle while clearing a path for him, only putting it back on after reaching the garage.
Now, in order to support Fang Li, Mumei removed the shackle around her neck again.
"I don't have much time left, you know."
Under Ikoma's astonished gaze, Mumei aimed the Steam Gun in her hand forward. Her originally amber eyes turned scarlet.
That was the physical trait Mumei displayed when entering an excited state and concentrating intensely.
"Since you want to kill Kabane, then you kill them. I'll provide covering fire from here."
After all, given Mumei's current condition, charging into battle again would be rather difficult for her.
"Then, let's begin..."
As her words fell, the scarlet in Mumei's eyes deepened, and sparks began to spray from the muzzles of her two Steam Guns.
Bang bang bang bang bang—!
The gunfire from the red Steam Guns was exceptionally distinct, even amidst the chaotic barrage of Steam Guns.
Bullets too fast for the naked eye to catch became high-speed projectiles, striking Kabane one after another.
Clang clang clang clang clang—!
Every Steam Gun bullet that landed produced a sound like clashing metal.
Immediately afterward, each Kabane that was hit suffered a massive impact, either slowing down or toppling sideways.
"That's it!"
Fang Li's Ice-Blue Demon Eyes shone with an unprecedented brilliance.
Facing the Kabane that had been sniped and could not regain their balance for the moment, Fang Li charged straight at them.
Squelch—!
His dagger swept through them, spraying countless droplets of blood.
Squelch—squelch—squelch—!
Amid the sounds of flesh being torn apart, Fang Li completely transformed into a Slayer.
His figure was like a shadow.
His speed was like the wind.
The weapon in his hand was like the claws of a ghost, piercing glowing hearts one after another.
"Aaaaahhh—!"
The Kabane all let out agonized cries on the brink of death, then collapsed one after another, never to make another sound.
With Mumei's covering fire, Fang Li darted through the army of Kabane, killing on the spot every Kabane whose movements had slowed after being struck by Mumei's Steam Gun bullets, slaughtering monster after monster.
"Kabane killed. Obtained 100 Exchange Points."
"Kabane killed. Obtained 100 Exchange Points."
"Kabane killed. Obtained 100 Exchange Points."
"Kabane killed. Obtained 100 Exchange Points."
"Kabane killed. Obtained 100 Exchange Points."
The system's mechanical notifications echoed through Fang Li's mind.
But Fang Li could no longer hear them at all.
At this moment, Fang Li was completely immersed in the blood and wails of the Kabane. In his eyes, only crack-like lines serving as targets remained, while only one voice echoed in his heart.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
It was as though the system had heard the roar within Fang Li's heart.
The next second, the system notification suddenly changed.
Number 11273 entered a killing state and independently comprehended the skill—Slayer.
Slayer (Lv.1) -Passive skill. -Attack speed +10%. -Movement speed +20%. -Skill level can be increased.
"—!"
The sudden system notification pulled Fang Li out of his killing state, leaving him both shocked and delighted.
A skill!
It was actually a skill!
He had never expected that he would independently comprehend a skill under such circumstances!
This was truly an unexpected delight!
In the Main God Space, only all kinds of tools and items could be exchanged for. Skills could not be exchanged there.
It was said that this was a measure meant to encourage Main God Envoys to explore the various Instance Worlds.
In the various Instance Worlds, all sorts of skills emerged endlessly. They were considered the unique features of each world, and the Main God Space encouraged Main God Envoys to enter them personally and explore, obtaining these lucrative gains to make themselves stronger.
Thus, when Main God Envoys explored the various Instance Worlds, besides seeking Exchange Points, obtaining skills unique to those worlds was also one of their objectives.
And aside from acquiring skills through various methods in the Instance Worlds, Main God Envoys naturally had other ways to learn skills.
For example, like Fang Li, independently comprehending one for some reason.
This was a relatively rare method.
That was why Fang Li was both shocked and delighted.
Even as joy filled his heart, Fang Li's slaughter did not stop.
Though it was not obvious, Mumei noticed it.
Fang Li, who was weaving through the army of Kabane, had actually become considerably faster.
Both his attack speed and his movement speed had increased.
"What happened?" Mumei was somewhat astonished. "How did he suddenly become a little stronger?"
Aside from Mumei, everyone else was equally dumbfounded.
Of course, the others were not stunned because they had noticed Fang Li suddenly becoming stronger, but because they had witnessed that bloody scene of slaughter.
"He..." Ikoma voiced the thoughts of everyone present in utter disbelief.
"He can actually kill Kabane?"
That was why everyone was stunned.
"That guy..." Kurusu Kunoichi's expression could not help turning solemn.
"He was actually hiding his strength..."
