Chapter 428 Letting Loose (2)
Fang's rampage wasn't going to end with just mincing a few dozen demons. As she leisurely walked onward, the random god-level demons that dared to approach her died through various means.
One was struck with the dagger at the base of its neck and died.
Another got touched by her before spikes made out of shadow burst through its body, destroying it from the inside.
There's even a group of demons that fell into the shadows, as if getting absorbed by them, and came out a few moments later as clean bones.
Fang was true to her plan, checking out the performance of all her new skills nonstop!
"..."
After testing the 20th new skill, Fang finally tested all her skills.
Among those, she also gained a buff that allows her to move at 10 times the speed but multiplies the fatigue from using it by four in return. It was quirky, but honestly, the "fatigue" gained from it wasn't even worth talking about.
Even if the fatigue gained was four times the original amount, it was still nothing compared to Fang's energy and stamina.
"Therefore, I can use this nonstop!"
Playtime was over, and Fang finally decided to work in earnest. Due to her "testing" skills, her kill count barely extended over three digits. This time, however, Fang drew the second dagger out of her Storage Ring and held it tight.
Fang's eyes turned sharp as she turned the ground below her pitch black. Just like ink dropped into water, the black "ground" started to spread at a rapid pace, extending a few hundred meters around her.
Although her domain wasn't as overpowered as Ember's, it was powerful in its own right.
All demons that stepped into her "Darkness Domain," as she called it, would end up receiving several restrictions. One is the loss of vision and hearing. Due to this, the enemy would have a hard time perceiving Fang, if they even could in the first place.
The next advantage of her domain is that Fang "exists" at all points of the domain at the same time. In short, she can attack everyone who gets caught in her domain in a snap. Seen from afar, it would look like Fang made an equal number of clones to the number of enemies, but in truth, they weren't clones but Fang herself.
It was a complex process, and one that made her feel weird enough that she couldn't explain how it worked herself.
"[Dark Blade]!"
With a single use of her skill, all of the hundred or so demons died at once. Although it was a good enough performance already, Fang wasn't satisfied with it at all.
"My attack is too slow... Even Ember could probably dodge that one."
Furthermore, the energy consumption of her domain was quite large. This method wasn't efficient at all.
"I'd rather go the old method than this way!"
Fang ditched the idea of relying on her domain and instead activated all her buffs simultaneously. With it, not only did her speed increase by 10 times, but her strength also increased fourfold.
"This should be enough!"
She mused as she checked her power by casually crushing a random rock she picked up with her bare hands.
Right after that, Fang quickly activated her [Shadow Teleportation] and moved to the closest demon to her. The location she popped out of was the shadow right below the giant monster.
*SLASH!*
Using her two daggers, Fang hit the essence crystal directly, destroying it in one stroke.
The frown on her face never faded, however. She kept finding faults in her own performance and quickly addressed them.
"Swing faster!"
*SLASH!*
"Too shallow! Deeper!"
*SLASH* *SLASH!*
"The use of [Shadow Teleportation] is too sloppy!"
*FWIP!*
"The delay between two attacks is too long!"
Just like that, Fang continued to refine her actions. Slowly, the rate of her killing the god-level demons increased. It started at around one every ten seconds, and now she needs a mere second to slay ten of them in one swing.
Fang's eyes were so focused on her task that she didn't realize the demons were getting scared of her. After all, their comrades were dying one after another, but they didn't even see the assailant's figure!
Fang was true to her title then and there, the Queen of Shadowless Death!
The rate at which the "grim reaper" Fang was destroying the demons was only second to Ember's!
"But this isn't enough!"
Fang was still far from being content with her performance.
"I will gain the most kills here among everyone else and have Leader pet my head~!"
A fierce flame burned within her eyes—a display of her unrelenting fighting spirit!
"A-And if I get lucky, maybe I can even go ~nyan, nyan~ with Leader! Kyaaah!"
... fueled by impure thoughts.

To the southeast, the battle was a little bit slower in comparison. However, the despair there was evident at a glance. Death was awarded to all equally, ignoring differences in their sizes or ranks.
*BRRRRRRRRRRT!*
In Fatima's hands, two machineguns were firing nonstop.
Each of the bullets was deadly enough for the god-level demons, but as if to not let the chance of them surviving, bullets rained down on them.
The demons, as if weeds were getting mowed down by a lawn mower, fell one after another, as if they were racing to see who would fall first.
Fatima kept her mouth shut the entire time, causing the tamers and monsters around her to start looking at her with awe and fear.
"S-Such power! Was there someone like that among our 9th stages?!"
"Wait, look closely! She's not even at the 9th stage, but only the 7th!"
"Will...? Her tamer is called Will. Could it be... the president of the Heaven's Republic?!"
Such chatter echoed from all over, with nobody to affirm their guesses.
Fatima herself was ignoring them completely. After all, currently, her task is to wipe out as many god-level demons as possible before the Void Beast comes close.
However, as expected, the machine gun mode's range was a lot shorter compared to the rifle. Since Fatima could barely reach over a kilometer using it, she was beginning to get frustrated about the slow rate of slaying the demons.
"I give up..."
Fatima sighed before changing the machineguns into a different form.
"I'll just wipe them out in droves!"
Instead, she took out the artillery!
