"Evaded my eyes?"
"No, it's a Red Spectre with an invisibility ability. Because it's already a corpse, does it not breathe?"
Butterfly Shinobu endured the pain, retreating in the direction her nails had pierced.
Blood continuously flowed from the nail-pierced wound.
Pfft.
Rapid, continuous stabs.
The Nichirin Blade, like a venomous bee's stinger, continuously injected poison into the Crazy Baby's body.
"Its defense is the same as a Red Spectre's, but it's incredibly agile, like an assassin lurking in the dark, making it impossible to guard against!"
Butterfly Shinobu quickly tore off her outer garment, ripping it into strips to wrap around her wound.
She pricked up her ears, carefully listening for the Crazy Baby's footsteps.
Even if it was invisible, it hadn't hidden in another dimension. The scent of blood and footsteps couldn't be ignored; they were key to revealing its presence.
She pulled out a bottle of the lowest-grade recovery potion.
After tilting her head back and drinking it,
the injury on her collarbone slowly healed, barely stopping the bleeding from flowing further.
She wasn't a player, so she couldn't use items with level requirements. This lowest-grade potion had very poor recovery effects.
But it was enough to allow her to continue moving.
The resurrection condition for the [Family Defense Battle] was a full ten minutes, and it required deducting reward points from the family leader.
Unless absolutely necessary, Butterfly Shinobu had no intention of using a suicide tactic.
Continuing forward,
on both sides were rough, tall walls, and rows of pure white spotlights illuminated the Nightfall Valley as if it were daytime.
A circular cave caught Butterfly Shinobu's attention, with two red warning lights,
indicating that this was a key area.
[You have entered [Waste Liquid Treatment Plant]!]
Butterfly Shinobu's eyes were full of vigilance, and she thought, "Lord Master said that once an area marked with game text appears, it means that area has something special."
She stepped forward, trying to minimize the noise she made.
Thump, thump, thump...
Very faint tapping sounds against a wall.
Butterfly Shinobu followed the sound to a rusty, circular steel cover plate and heard faint cries for help from inside.
"Save me! I'm an elite unit dispatched by the Defender Headquarters to stop the spread of the Lurker's biochemical weapon. I'm trapped in the waste liquid pool!"
"Are you reinforcements? Quickly get me out!"
Butterfly Shinobu frowned tightly, not immediately agreeing. She felt something was off.
Only after the other party finished speaking,
a game text popped up in front of her: [Do you want to rescue the trapped Defender member?]
Reward: Unknown.
Just as Butterfly Shinobu was hesitating,
a hearty laugh suddenly came from behind her, saying, "What a lucky little girl, to actually trigger a quest?"
Kizaru, draped in his cloak of justice, walked casually towards Butterfly Shinobu.
Facing Butterfly Shinobu's slightly wary gaze, he explained, "Little one with light steps, you must cultivate some kind of technique that enhances physical abilities, right? You didn't even make a sound. If the one trapped inside were human, how could they possibly discover you?"
"Presumably, it's a monster already infected by the biochemical virus."
Kizaru leaned closer to the steel cover plate, reaching out to touch the circular dial in the middle that looked like a valve switch, but there was no prompt whatsoever.
"Indeed, quests can only be accepted once."
Kizaru stroked the stubble on his chin, looked at Butterfly Shinobu, and said, "Little girl, how about teaming up with this Old Gentleman? We can share experience and reward points. How about I take you to hunt biochemical spectres together?"
In this situation, some cold-blooded players
would directly kill Butterfly Shinobu, who had already triggered the quest, to reset it.
But that went against Kizaru's sense of justice. Even if Butterfly Shinobu wouldn't die, he wouldn't do something to snatch someone else's resources.
"Old Gentleman, can I trust you?"
Butterfly Shinobu maintained a gentle smile on her face,
not quite believing that an otherworldly player could be so friendly.
Kizaru turned his body, pointing his back to the word 'Justice' on his Marine cloak, and laughed heartily, "Of course! The Marines will always protect civilians, even civilians from other worlds will be protected by the Marines! This Old Gentleman is here for that very reason!"
He was still a Vice Admiral now, even though he had the same strongest Marine combat power as Smoker,
but he was unwilling to be promoted to Admiral, precisely to act freely.
Butterfly Shinobu nodded and said, "Alright, then let's team up, Old Gentleman!"
Earlier,
she had personally witnessed Kizaru and Whitebeard's brief battle. Although Kizaru was eventually sent flying, the strength he displayed was completely sufficient to sweep across the Demon Slayer Continent.
If he truly had ulterior motives, there would be no need for such an approach.
Team up successful.
Butterfly Shinobu held her breath, turning the dial on the steel cover plate.
After several turns,
Bang!
A huge, heavy force came from behind the steel cover plate, directly causing a raised indentation on the flat steel cover plate.
Butterfly Shinobu quickly retreated.
Then came two more muffled thuds.
The steel cover plate, two meters high, was directly deformed and sent flying by the immense force from within.
Gray-green waste liquid, mixed with a putrid smell, rapidly flowed out.
A bit of it touched Butterfly Shinobu's tiptoe and was immediately corroded, emitting pungent green smoke.
Looking up,
the space within the steel cover plate's waste liquid pool was larger and emptier than imagined.
It was like a huge mountain had been hollowed out, and its interior was made into a container for storing waste liquid.
A massive green figure, nearly ten meters tall, stood in the center of the waste liquid, which submerged up to its calves.
Its limbs were extremely thick, covered with muscles that bulged to a grotesque degree.
Its fists were riddled with crater-like depressions, emitting the unique glow of a biochemical virus.
Behind it was a pair of massive cannons that seemed to be formed from chaotic, twisted flesh, capable of firing high-powered virus cannons from within.
[Titan Lv.19 (Lord Monster)]: 7000 / 7000 HP.
Note: After being infected by the virus, this Defender, abandoned by its comrades, mutated into a special biochemical entity [Crazy Titan] in the waste liquid pool because it feared death and did not commit suicide!
A trace of panic flashed in Butterfly Shinobu's eyes.
She hadn't expected this trapped monster to be a Lord Monster comparable to a Magic Winged Dragon.
The Demon Slayer Corps' combat power was already insufficient in the Family Defense Battle. Was she going to cause the failure of the Demon Slayer Corps family's defense battle because of her wrong choice?
"Don't worry, little girl!"
Upon seeing the monster, Kizaru showed no fear. Instead, he burst into laughter, saying, "Damn Whitebeard, I don't believe I'll lose the bet after killing a Lord Monster!"
Even with his combat power restricted,
Kizaru's iron fists still heavily slammed into the Crazy Titan's body,
making the biochemical armor on the monster clang loudly.
Kizaru's core game ability was [Sanda], with a total of ten imprints within its core. Each imprint represented a max-level minor skill.
With every punch,
he was no longer confined by skills, but freely unleashed them, directly imbuing his attacks with skill effects.
Bang.
The Crazy Titan finally let out a weak roar and was heavily flung into the waste liquid pool. Its massive body was submerged, with only the flesh cannon on its back still floating on the waste liquid.
Drops,
There was a pure black contaminated crystal, which could be used as hard currency in game towns to exchange for the set he had always coveted.
A large amount of reward points and experience were equally divided between Kizaru and Butterfly Shinobu.
Before Kizaru could speak, Butterfly Shinobu already said, "I didn't help at all. Old Gentleman, please don't be polite about that contaminated crystal; just take it."
Actually,
according to her contribution in triggering the quest, Butterfly Shinobu was qualified to contend for the drops,
but she saw that the Marine Old Gentleman seemed to really want that contaminated crystal but was too embarrassed to ask, so she proactively offered it.
If it weren't for the Marine Old Gentleman, she wouldn't have been able to defeat the Crazy Titan and still receive so many reward points and experience.
"In that case, this Old Gentleman won't be polite!"
Kizaru's old face flushed slightly. He indeed needed the contaminated crystals very much.
It took a full fifty to exchange for one piece of equipment, and the complete [Magic Ocean] set required two hundred and fifty.
Every contaminated crystal was extremely precious.
"Little girl, can you tell this Old Gentleman what happened in this world?"
Butterfly Shinobu originally wanted to disconnect from Kizaru's team mode,
after all, his strength was so great that she was simply leeching off his experience and reward points.
However, Kizaru stopped her.
He didn't mind; he was just curious, asking Butterfly Shinobu about information concerning the Demon Slayer Continent.
As Luffy's grandfather, he didn't have the same intuition as the Child of Destiny, who seemed to hear the breath of all things,
but his seemingly rough demeanor also held extremely subtle observational skills. His Observation Haki could sense the state of the Demon Slayer Corps members covering the Demon Slayer World.
