Chapter 110 Dana's New Title: "Monster Slayer Machine"

However, Louis quickly forgot about the situation on the battlefield.

Wave after wave of monsters from the outside world poured in.

To Louis's surprise, the quality of this batch of monsters was much higher than that of the previous nights.

While it wouldn't have much of an impact on Louis's squad, it put immense pressure on the ordinary guards.

There is a risk of breaching the defenses.

Moreover, these monsters were all like they had been injected with chicken blood, and their performance in battle was even more courageous than before, showing no signs of the high-level defeat.

These details weighed heavily on Louis's mind.

He tried his best to maintain the image of an ordinary shield guard, fighting alongside his teammates in the midst of hordes of monsters.

After blocking out wave after wave of monsters, and more than two hours had passed, a small squad of guards suddenly appeared from behind in a panic.

"Master, a level 1 monster has appeared at position 13. Our soldiers have suffered heavy casualties and urgently need reinforcements."

"A level 1 monster?"

Louis's expression hardened; no level 1 monster had ever broken in before.

But this is fine too, even the weakest level one monster is worth 500 battle merits, which is five gold coins.

Furthermore, the attributes of level 1 monsters might also improve one's own abilities, so having a few is more beneficial than harmful.

He thought for a moment and then ordered, "Nora, Merry, you two stay here. Dina and I will go over there and be back soon."

"If you encounter a powerful enemy during this period, do not confront them head-on. Prioritize your own safety and wait for our return."

All the team members nodded.

Nora: "We absolutely must bring the body back."

Louis:

:"----knew."

Louis immediately called over Dina and had that small group of blood-stained soldiers lead the way. Before long, they arrived at position number 13.

The situation here can only be described as a complete mess.

A light gray monkey, about the size of a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, with scarlet eyes, roamed freely among the guards.

Its claws are as fast as lightning, sharper than steel blades, and can tear apart a soldier's armor with a light scratch, pulling out his internal organs.

Even with a semi-professional captain leading the team, they were completely powerless to resist.

On the ground, soldiers lay dead, their skulls roughly pried open by something with claws, their white brains gone, leaving only viscous fluid.

Fewer than fifteen soldiers remained to resist.

"It's a brain-eating monkey!"

Dina said in a deep voice, "This is a naturally evil monster that loves to eat the brains of its prey, especially humans."

"Once they have consumed a sufficient number of human brains, their intelligence will evolve further, making them extremely cunning."

"The species' innate abilities are also related to its habits. After consuming the brain of its prey, it has a chance to learn one or two of the prey's skills."

Upon hearing this, Louis's expression turned somewhat strange.

No, this talent ability sounds like a super-youthful version of a cheat system, doesn't it?

Dude, you get stronger by looting corpses too?

Despite his inner grumbling, Louis was quick to act. He stepped forward and swiftly appeared above the brain-eating monkey's head.

The heavy mercury shield, like a sharp guillotine capable of easily severing a head, slammed down heavily on the brain-eating monkey.

The attack was too precise. The brain-eating monkey that was attacking the soldier had clearly pulled its hand back a step in advance, but the Mercury Shield still seemed to have eyes and slammed heavily into the brain-eating monkey's arm.

After all, Louis is just pretending to be a pig, not a real pig. Even if he only uses shield-guard skills, he can still improve his hit rate.

Click—

When metal collided with the arm, it was undoubtedly the latter that broke.

Louis landed heavily, raising the Mercury Shield in front of him to protect the fifteen soldiers who had fought so hard and were on the verge of collapse.

Then, the brain-eating monkey's painful screams echoed through the sewers.

Its left arm was twisted abnormally, and its scarlet eyes were full of resentment, yet also carried a hint of fear, as if it wanted to run away.

It seems that level 1 monsters can already resist the control of demons to some extent.

Regardless of race, having a hierarchy grants one the right to sit at the table and eat.

But Dina clearly wouldn't give her that chance. The girl darted out from behind the Mercury Shield, her longsword emitting a fiery red light as she slashed out.

Unleash the magic!

There is fresh air circulation at the sewage outlet, so there is no need to worry about the risk of biogas explosion.

This time, she only released 10 points of magic.

However, this time she didn't unleash the previous light cannon, but rather a thin and sharp fiery red light sword.

As dexterity increases, the form of magic release is no longer limited to just a beam cannon.

This sword is five meters long and extremely solid.

In this narrow underground waterway, even the most agile brain-eating monkey has no room to hide.

Under Dina's sweeping attack, deep marks were slashed into the walls on both sides of the waterway, and the brain-eating monkey was cut in half at the waist with a single sword strike.

Its body was broken in two, the cut surface was charred, and not a drop of blood seeped out.

The lightsaber dissipated, and the longsword in Daina's hand only turned red; it did not melt.

"Okay, it's resolved."

The girl wearing the bird-beak mask turned around and said calmly.

At that moment, she noticed that the soldiers' eyes were filled with deep respect as they looked at her.

Dai Na's lips twitched slightly beneath her mask, a sense of foreboding creeping in.

The brain-eating monkey that easily slaughtered thirty of their brothers was killed by this girl in a single move. Is this the power of a professional?

"Excuse me—are you the legendary genius swordswoman, Ms. Daina?"

A soldier mustered his courage and asked.

Dai Na: "————"

Legendary? When did I become a legend?

Under Louis's encouraging gaze, Dina nodded stiffly.

"it's me."

The soldiers grew excited, and one soldier asked eagerly, "Rumor has it that you slay monsters several times faster than ordinary professionals, and that no monster, big or small, can withstand a single strike from you. Is that true?"

Dai Na: "————It's true."

Soldier: "Some people in the legion call you the Monster Slayer. Have you heard of that title?"

Dai Na's face darkened, unsure of what to say.

Louis watched this scene with a smile; Dina's genius persona was becoming more and more solid.

He wasn't worried that constantly making Dai Na take the blame would ruin her career, because as his basic attributes improved as the team leader, the team members' training speed would inevitably reach the level of unparalleled geniuses.

No matter what kind of praise she receives, Daina can handle it.

He quietly stepped aside and patted the brain-eating monkey.

[You have picked up the corpse of a Level 1 Brain-Eating Monkey. Attributes: Demonic +0.7]

[Gain the talent of a brain-eating creature]

[Brain-eating creatures: After consuming the brain of their prey, there is a chance they will inherit some of the prey's skills and experience a slight increase in intelligence.]

[Gained Level 1 skill: ————]

[Gained Level 0 skill: ————]

The first two lines of prompts were exactly what Louis expected; he had already anticipated that the brain-eating monkey's basic data was inferior to his own.

Louis had just heard about this race's talent from Dina, so it was no surprise that he picked it up.

But the number of skills he picked up next surprised Louis.

He acquired hundreds of level 0 skills! And three level 1 skills!

Even though most of these skills overlap, it's still an incredibly amazing gain!
