The blue shackle tied around Mumei's neck was no ordinary decoration.

It existed as something akin to a "switch."

As a Kabaneri, Mumei had fought Kabane since childhood and undergone extremely rigorous training. Not only was she highly skilled in close-quarters combat, but she was also proficient with various weapons—a perfect combat expert.

However, that was in her normal state.

Mumei possessed a constitution where, once she untied the blue shackle around her neck, her physical abilities would far surpass those of an ordinary Kabane.

Thus, that blue shackle could be called Mumei's switch. Once removed, her strength would undergo an extraordinary enhancement, becoming exceptionally powerful.

This was the reason she could treat hundreds or thousands of Kabane as if they were nothing.

With physical abilities exceeding those of ordinary Kabane and mastery of various 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, leaving her easily fatigued.

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

That was precisely why, after arriving at the garage, Mumei's energy had suddenly become so drained and she kept feeling drowsy.

Though Fang Li hadn't noticed at first, she must have untied the shackle while clearing a path for him, only re-fastening it after reaching the garage.

Now, to support Fang Li, Mumei had once again undone the shackle around her neck.

"I don't have much time, you know."

Under Ikoma's astonished gaze, Mumei aimed the steam guns in her hands forward. Her eyes, originally an amber hue, shifted to a crimson color.

That was a physical characteristic Mumei displayed when entering a state of heightened excitement and intense concentration.

"Since you want to kill Kabane, then go ahead and kill them. I'll provide covering fire from here."

After all, given her current physical condition, it was somewhat too much to charge into the fray again.

"Then, let's begin..."

As the words fell, the crimson in Mumei's eyes grew even deeper, and sparks began to fly from the muzzles of her two steam guns.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!"

The gunfire of the red steam guns rang out with exceptional clarity, even amidst the chaotic shooting of other steam guns.

Bullets, impossible to track with the naked eye, turned into swift projectiles, striking one Kabane after another in succession.

"Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang!"

Each hit from the steam gun bullets produced a sound like metal clashing.

Then, the Kabane that were struck would suffer a massive impact, either halting in their tracks or tilting and falling over.

"That's it!"

Fang Li's Ice-Blue Demon Eyes flickered with unprecedented brightness.

Facing the Kabane that had been sniped and couldn't adjust their stances for a moment, Fang Li charged straight in.

"Shlick!"

The Dagger swept across, splashing countless streams of blood.

"Shlick—shlick—shlick—!"

Amid the tearing sounds of flesh, Fang Li fully transformed into a Slayer.

His form was like a shadow.

His speed was like the wind.

The weapon in his hand, like a ghost's claw, pierced through one glowing heart after another.

"Aaaaaaah!"

One by one, the Kabane let out agonized death cries before collapsing in succession, falling silent.

Thus, with Mumei's covering fire, Fang Li wove through the horde of Kabane, killing each one that had been struck by Mumei's steam gun bullets and had its movement halted, slaying monster after monster.

"Killed Kabane. Gained 100 Exchange Points." "Killed Kabane. Gained 100 Exchange Points." "Killed Kabane. Gained 100 Exchange Points." "Killed Kabane. Gained 100 Exchange Points." "Killed Kabane. Gained 100 Exchange Points."

The system's mechanical prompt echoed in Fang Li's mind.

But Fang Li could no longer hear it.

At this moment, Fang Li was completely immersed in the blood and screams of the Kabane. His eyes saw only the crack-like lines that served as his targets, and in his heart, only one voice echoed.

"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!"

As if hearing the roar from deep within Fang Li's heart—

The next second, the system's prompt tone abruptly changed.

"Number 11273 has entered a Slayer state, self-comprehending skill—Slayer."

Slayer (Lv.1)

- Passive skill.

- Attack Speed +10%.

- Movement Speed +20%.

- Skill level can be upgraded.

"—!"

The sudden system prompt jolted Fang Li out of his killing state, his heart both startled and delighted.

A skill!

It was actually a skill!

He never expected that, under these circumstances, he would comprehend a skill on his own!

This was truly an unexpected joy!

In the Main God Space, only various tools and items could be exchanged; skills could not be obtained there.

It was said to be a measure encouraging Main God Envoys to venture through various Instance Worlds.

In each Instance World, countless skills emerged, representing the unique characteristics of those worlds. The Main God Space advocated for Main God Envoys to personally enter and explore, reaping this immense profit to grow stronger.

Thus, besides earning Exchange Points, acquiring a world's unique skills was also one of the goals for Main God Envoys exploring Instance Worlds.

Apart from obtaining skills through various means in Instance Worlds, Main God Envoys naturally had other methods to learn skills.

For example, like Fang Li, self-comprehending due to some reason.

This was a relatively rare method.

Therefore, Fang Li was both surprised and delighted.

Even as joy surged in his heart, Fang Li's slaughter did not stop.

Though subtle, Mumei noticed it.

Weaving through the horde of Kabane, Fang Li's speed had noticeably increased.

Both his attack speed and movement speed.

"What's going on?" Mumei was somewhat astonished. "How did he suddenly get a bit stronger?"

Aside from Mumei, the others were also stunned.

Of course, the reason the others were stunned was not because they noticed Fang Li's sudden increase in strength, but because of the bloody slaughter they were witnessing.

"He..." Ikoma voiced what everyone present was thinking, utterly bewildered.

"He can actually kill Kabane?"

That was the reason for their shock.

"That guy..." Kurusu Kunoichi's expression involuntarily turned serious.

"He was hiding his strength all along..."
