Chapter 3 - Successful Hunt

"GAAAHHHHHHHHH!"

The Crayfish Devil immediately howled, not only from the pain of its tentacles but also from the rage of being injured by a human.

In a fit of fury, the Crayfish Devil brought both of its giant claws down on Otonashi Chiya.

If it were an ordinary person, it would be almost impossible to dodge such a wide-ranging attack.

But Otonashi Chiya was no ordinary person; with his Mangekyo Sharingan's dynamic capture and precise prediction of everything around him, the Crayfish Devil would never be able to touch him.

He even dared to rush forward from beneath the giant claws, having already predicted that when the claws came down, they wouldn't even graze him as he advanced.

In doing so, he closed the distance with the Crayfish Devil, his katana ready to strike.

Seeing this, Hayakawa Aki's heart tightened.

In his opinion, this was an extremely risky move, with too low a margin for error; one slip-up could mean a life-threatening situation.

For an ordinary person, this was indeed true; the margin for error might be less than 10%, but for Otonashi Chiya, it was a solid 100%, with no possibility of error whatsoever.

At this moment, Otonashi Chiya thrust his katana into the Crayfish Devil's abdomen.

The Crayfish Devil's carapace was not all-encompassing; many areas, such as its tentacles and abdomen, were unprotected, and a sufficiently sharp katana could inflict damage.

"Pfft—!"

The katana pierced to its deepest point and was then pulled out, and the demon's blood immediately splattered profusely from the wound.

Watching such a smooth and swift sequence of movements, Hayakawa Aki couldn't help but be stunned.

Is this guy really a rookie...?

However, Hayakawa Aki quickly snapped back to reality; he couldn't just stand there watching and immediately attacked the Crayfish Devil from behind.

But its back and tail were almost entirely protected by thick, hard carapace, so he could only slash at its legs, those human-hand-like appendages.

Perhaps the Crayfish Devil's claws were too heavy, as their lifting Speed was relatively slow.

Taking advantage of this opening, Otonashi Chiya disemboweled the Crayfish Devil, and countless large and small intestines gushed out.

Hayakawa Aki also severed most of the Crayfish Devil's legs.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Accompanied by the Crayfish Devil's screams, Otonashi Chiya delivered the final blow, stabbing upward from its chest cavity into its head, and it quickly became completely still.

[Ding! host has activated the achievement "First Demon Hunt" and gained 5 attribute points!]

[Ding! host has successfully hunted "Crayfish Devil" and gained 9 attribute points!]

Of course, the attribute points gained from hunting different devils vary; the stronger the devil, the more attribute points obtained after hunting it.

The Crayfish Devil's strength was certainly not great, but it wasn't weak either, at least much stronger than a Fanqie Devil; indeed, far more humans would fear crayfish than tomatoes.

Gaining 9 attribute points for hunting one Crayfish Devil was reasonable.

Moreover, devils are actually a recyclable "resource"; they can never be completely killed off.

Because after devils die, they can revive in Hell.

After dying in Hell, they can be reincarnated into the human world, but at such times, they lose their previous memories, which is why it's called reincarnation.

Unless eaten by the Chainsaw Devil, otherwise, it's an endless cycle of revival and reincarnation.

"It should be completely dead, right?"

Hayakawa Aki kicked the Crayfish Devil's corpse, confirming it had no reaction.

"Yes, it's dead."

Otonashi Chiya replied, casually flicking his katana to shake off the blood, then sheathed it.

He hadn't used the "Divine Might" eye technique at all during the entire process, worried that his current "Vitality" would instantly drain his body, or even directly blind him.

However, merely relying on the Mangekyo Sharingan's basic abilities was already so powerful; as long as he didn't encounter too strong a devil, he indeed had no need to use an eye technique with such significant side effects.

Otonashi Chiya didn't overthink it, once again maxing out all his distributable attribute points into the "Vitality" attribute.

[Ding! Distribution complete, Vitality +15!]

[Vitality: 30]

[Distributable Attribute Points: 0]

Now Otonashi Chiya's Vitality was three times that of an ordinary person, and this super strong life force and self-healing ability gave him a slight confidence to use the "Divine Might" eye technique.

"Then I'll call someone to dispose of the devil's corpse."

Hayakawa Aki then walked out of the bridge tunnel and started making a phone call.

By the time he finished the call, Otonashi Chiya had also emerged.

Hayakawa Aki turned to look at Otonashi Chiya, who only had some blood on him, with dirt and mud only on the soles of his shoes.

In contrast, he himself looked much more disheveled, his clothes covered in a large amount of dirty water, mud, and blood, with a very foul and unpleasant smell.

Hayakawa Aki couldn't help but ask, "Are you... really a rookie?"

"Of course, I just got lucky and made a contract with a relatively strong devil."

Otonashi Chiya humbly replied with a smile.

From now on, no matter who he was talking to, he would only explain the Mangekyo Sharingan's abilities as devil powers obtained after contracting with a certain devil. He would absolutely not let anyone know about the system's existence or the truth of "Divine Might."

After all, even excluding the side effects, Dual Divine Might is not completely without weaknesses; there would still be a tiny flaw... (The controversy here is too great and might affect the reading experience, so a small part of the original text was deleted.)

Although the weaknesses of single-eye Divine Might are negligible, Dual Divine Might further reduces the weaknesses to almost unnoticeable, but being cautious is never a bad thing.

It's difficult to compare the combat power between the Naruto and Chainsaw Man worlds, because the abilities of devils like the Darkness Devil, Control Devil, and War Devil are too abstract; even with Dual Divine Might, Otonashi Chiya dared not be too careless.

"Alright."

Hayakawa Aki subconsciously looked at Otonashi Chiya's eyes.

He felt that the devil power must have changed Otonashi's eyes, making them stronger, which was evident from Otonashi's extraordinary vision and his performance during the battle with the devil.

The price to pay must not be small either... Little did he know, this was merely the basic ability of the Mangekyo Sharingan, and Otonashi Chiya paid no price at all, and the true power of "Divine Might" was far more than this!
