Chapter 44: Return Settlement
If I could advance further on the basis of the Frost Qi, refining a higher level of Frost Power, the effect of freezing Furuta Nimura would be even better.
However, this level is already sufficient!
"As an aggregate of rc cells, unlike Ghouls who use rc cells to repair flesh wounds, you can only replenish your consumption and repair your body through the internal circulation of rc cells and external red mist supplementation.
This illusion of immortality can only deceive yourself! Wasting precious life in such a way... truly pitiful, truly tragic!"
Roland cast a final pitying glance at the bloody ice crystal, then turned and walked towards the mission target, Rize Kamishiro.
When he reversed the Frost Qi to freeze Furuta Nimura, he consumed all his Breathing Technique layers, which made him feel somewhat weak and unaccustomed to not maintaining the Breathing Technique and the sensation of abundant power.
However, without protection, she was still sound asleep, now like a fish on a chopping board, ready to be slaughtered. This brief period of weakness would not affect the outcome.
Roland approached Rize Kamishiro, raising the long blade in his hand high in an overhead stance, about to swing it down, when at this last moment, Rize Kamishiro's eyes suddenly snapped open.
Red light condensed into a beam, striking directly at Roland's eyes. If this attack could hit, her mental interference ability would take effect on this terrifying enemy.
This was her last struggle!
The long blade did not pause in the slightest, swinging straight down. A trace of confusion flashed in Roland's eyes, and it took a moment for him to regain clarity.
He looked at the deformed body, which he had slashed open with a large gash, and chuckled softly:
"If you have no other means, then please die here!"
Orlando untangled the Rinkaku entwined around Roland's limbs. Under Roland's pre-given command, it immediately took over his body the moment the mental interference took effect, completing the strike.
Blade light flashed across Rize Kamishiro's body. As life gradually ebbed away, the princess's palace collapsed, and the evil dragon's The Nest disintegrated.
The platform beneath their feet also lost its support at this moment and began to fall.
Roland's attack continued!
After slashing open Rize Kamishiro's bloated lower body, he unexpectedly discovered a cross-shaped longsword embedded in her flesh, identical to the one Furuta Nimura had held earlier.
"Judging by the style, it should be the Holy Sword formed by Kaneki Ken's Kagune in the later part of the plot. I knew it, that guy was up there for a long time, he always had some damage output."
The platform tilted. Roland grabbed the hilt of the longsword and dragged it downwards, the blade cutting all the way to Rize Kamishiro's humanoid upper body.
Roland leaped forward, his swords crossing in his hands, and one strike severed Rize Kamishiro's head.
Then he spun around, plunging a sword downwards through her heart, accelerating her descent with this twisted and massive body.
"Sweet dreams, Miss Rize!"
[You have killed the Dragon Princess, Rize Kamishiro.]
[Dragon Princess, Rize Kamishiro, is the leader of the New Aogiri Tree and one of the main causes of the world-line plot change. You have gained 12.5% World Source, now totaling 69.8% World Source.]
[Hunter has completed Main Mission 1: Brave Dragon Slayer. You can return at any time. Remaining time in the derivative world: ten minutes.]
[Special permission enabled. Current imprint level detected as Tier 1. Hunter will enter the derivative world: Dragon Race after 12 days in Reincarnation Paradise.]
"Return."
Roland murmured. The surrounding space began to surge, a sensation of being hit on the head with a stick came, and his vision went black. His derivative world journey ended... Arima Kishou, as soon as The Nest began to collapse, retreated from it at the fastest possible speed.
At this moment, he and seventeen other combat personnel, carrying the completely destroyed core machine, stood at a safe distance.
Looking up at the falling figure in the sky, he murmured:
"He really did it."
Inside the collapsing The Nest, Kaneki Ken had been lying on the ground, staring blankly at the sky with hollow eyes, ever since he fell into this corridor.
He wouldn't have to wait long before he would be buried by the collapsing building debris, entering eternal peace.
"This is good too."
With a dead heart, he said so.
Suddenly, an itching sensation appeared in his ear. The next moment, a centipede crawled out, circled Kaneki Ken's face, and then dropped to the ground.
Kaneki Ken propped himself up, staring blankly as the centipede quickly crawled into the darkness at the end of the corridor, subconsciously following it... [Teleportation complete. Hunter has returned to the Exclusive Room.]
[The Exclusive Room is an absolute safe zone. No one can enter without the Hunter's permission.]

Detecting that the Hunter has completed the Hunter Mission and obtained a bronze honor medal, the Honor Shop is now open. Location: inside the Hunter's Exclusive Room. Hunter, please explore its functions yourself... "Cleared, cleared! The new version of the game content is quite interesting, but it demands a bit too much from the player's mental calculation threshold.
But that's normal, after all, it's equipped with a smart brain and a revamped system engine, so high configuration requirements are normal!
We'll see how the optimization goes later. If it's really not enough, I'll find another world to get a surgery to upgrade my configuration."
Immediately upon returning to his Exclusive Room, Roland first commented on his game experience, then tossed Orlando and a few Kagune sacs aside, and quickly walked to a newly appeared display screen in the room.
The display screen was embedded in the wall, with lines of text floating on it. This was the Honor Shop.
[Welcome, Hunter, to the Honor Shop.]
