Re Zero DMMS 73 (Patreon)

With a fresh mindset, the negative emotions brought by the previous 20 consecutive deaths were swept away, and Kenma's head cleared up once again.

He walked out of the trial cave, looked at Shaula with a bright smile, and patted her head.

"Alright, let's go."

"Understood, Master. Let's head home."

Looking at Shaula rubbing her cheek against his chest, Kenma suddenly felt a bit dazed.

The girl in front of him had no idea that the Master she deeply loved had already died 170 times in this place.

Although it was an excellent save point for farming attribute points, Kenma didn't feel like farming anymore.

"Yeah, let's go home."

Right at that moment, a discordant voice came from afar.

"I'm telling you. How are there still two people here? I didn't expect there to still be fish slipping through the net. Do you know that my task is to kill everyone here? The fact that you are still alive is simply an insult to my work efficiency and tramples upon my right to dignity."

Regulus glided over from afar with an arrogant gait.

Shaula hated hearing such long and difficult sentences the most because it took too much brainpower to understand them.

"Master! Who is this guy? He started grumbling as soon as he showed up, and he looks super annoying. Let's just kill him right now."

Finishing her sentence, Shaula prepared to unleash her silver needles.

The very next second, she felt a blur flash before her eyes. In just the blink of an eye, Kenma had already vanished.

Regulus crashed into Kenma, who was clad in crimson armor. He hadn't even seen clearly how the opponent appeared. It was as if he had always been standing right there.

But he didn't care. He couldn't be bothered to figure out how this person appeared, he just needed to kill him.

However, in the next second, Kenma was already choking Regulus by the neck.

"Mmph? I'm telling you... Ahhhhh!"

Before Regulus could even react, the world in front of him blurred, rushing wildly upwards as if he had been strapped to a rocket.

By the time this white-haired giant baby reacted, three seconds had already passed.

He stepped on thin air, forcefully stabilizing his body, and glared at Kenma with a ferocious expression.

"I'm telling you! Why does a guy like you come over and grab someone by the neck without a word? Do you know that this is an extremely impolite behavior? You have severely violated my personal rights and personal safety in this manner! You have greatly trampled upon my right to dignity, and a principled person like me hates you the most!"

Kenma's expression remained unchanged, maintaining the action of choking Regulus by the neck as he kindly reminded him, "I'm telling you. Do you want to take a look at where this is first?"

What the heck?!

Prompted by this, Regulus finally noticed that the surrounding scenery had completely changed.

The clouds that previously required one to look up to see were now all floating beneath his feet, and the area above was no longer a blue sky, instead revealing a hint of dark gray.

Just as Regulus wanted to say something, a massive palpitation suddenly came from the location of his heart, followed by the pain of extreme suffocation spreading throughout his entire body.

"Ugh..."

Watching Regulus writhing in his hand, Kenma's eyes did not have the slightest ripple.

When his speed reached 128 points, he specifically used a loop to test it, discovering that his flight speed had already reached eight times the speed of sound. Converted, that was roughly 2720 meters per second.

Just a moment ago, taking advantage of the fact that Regulus hadn't reacted yet and was using his Authority to promptly stabilize his own body, Kenma took only three seconds to bring him to an altitude of nearly ten thousand meters.

Eight kilometers away from his wives on the ground, Regulus's Authority had already begun to fail, and the current suffocation was the best proof.

Discovering that his Authority had failed, Regulus, who was about to be suffocated to death, had no choice but to cancel Lion's Heart.

The instant he lost the time-stopped state, a piercingly cold gale swept across the high altitude of over 8,000 meters, while the sensation of oxygen deprivation did not diminish by much.

Reaching the region above 8,000 meters, the temperature had dropped to -22 degrees, and the oxygen had also become extremely thin, almost reaching the point of being unable to breathe.

Regulus, whose face was already flushed red due to severe oxygen deficiency, lost the ability to suspend himself in mid-air after deactivating his Authority, and his neck was tightly clamped by Kenma's large hand.

"Ugh... Let go..."

Watching Regulus begin to roll his eyes back, Kenma suddenly felt a little like laughing.

Such a weakling who possessed no strength once he lost his Authority was actually able to kill him over 170 times—fate was truly wondrous.

In less than half a minute, Regulus's complexion turned purplish, his tongue hung limply by the side of his mouth, his pupils had dilated, and his arms hung limply at his sides.

Right up until the last second before his death, Regulus still had Lion's Heart activated.

The reason was very simple: he really hated the feeling of being choked by the neck by Kenma without being able to resist.

Therefore, he would much rather endure the excruciating pain of cardiac arrest than die from being choked by Kenma's neck and suffocating to death.

"He really is a stubborn fellow."

Kenma threw the hand choking Regulus's neck upward, tossing the corpse high into the air, and then punched forward.

Bang!

The instant the fist collided with Regulus's corpse, a sky full of blood appeared, and was then swept away by the gales at over 8,000 meters.

Hovering in the air and feeling the piercingly cold wind continuously blow across his face, Kenma shook his head, a trace of relief revealing itself in his eyes.

It's over.

Returning to the ground, Shaula immediately pounced forward, hugging h with sparkling eyes.

"Master! You flew so fast just now, you vanished in the blink of an eye. As expected of Master, you're so amazing."

Kenma smiled, then raised his hand to take Shaula's hand. Facing the dazzling sunlight ahead, he cast all the pain and misery of being repeatedly killed to the back of his mind.

"Amazing, right? Your Master here is just this awesome. Let's go, we're going home."

"Yes! Master! We're going home to eat something delicious!"
