Re Zero DMMS 74 (Patreon)

Come to think of it...

Kenma clenched his fists, seemingly feeling a special power flowing within his body.

Ever since he killed Regulus, the other party's Witch factor seemed to have slipped into his body.

I wonder what kind of new ability I will awaken?

When the Greed factor was given to Regulus, it awakened an overpowered ability, but after being absorbed by Natsuki Subaru, he merely gained a team-buff skill.

With his strength having already reached this level, what kind of ability would manifest?

Kenma closed his eyes, and his mental power quickly inspected his whole body, beginning to carefully perceive the new power.

Upon learning of the specific effects, his eyes widened.

This is...

—

Leaving the barrier of the Sanctuary, as soon as he stepped out, Kenma smelled a stench of blood.

He looked down, and when his gaze fell upon the tattered purple robe, he suddenly laughed.

Good grief, Roswaal was actually dead.

If he guessed correctly, he probably had just woken up after being knocked unconscious by him, only to run into the Sin Archbishop of Greed, Regulus, who was heading to the Sanctuary, and was casually one-shotted.

How tragic.

After his power had reached almost the pinnacle of this world, Kenma's mindset underwent a slight change.

For instance, right now, he had become somewhat kinder and decided to send Roswaal's tattered remains back to the mansion, letting him have a proper burial so he could rest in peace.

Mostly, he just wanted to see what a certain pink-haired maid would turn into after seeing Roswaal.

"Shaula, hold on tightly to me."

He wrapped Roswaal's remains in a cloth bag and instructed Shaula.

Although she did not know what he meant by saying this, given the chance to take advantage of him, Shaula naturally chose to accept with an excited face.

"Okay, Master. I will definitely hold tightly onto your waist and won't let go."

After tightly hugging Kenma, Shaula buried her head in his embrace, making a voice somewhat resembling a deranged woman.

"The scent on Master's body... Hehehe."

Kenma shivered slightly. This little pet he adopted seemed to have awakened some incredible attribute the moment she was brought out of the Pleiades Watchtower.

Forget it, as long as Shaula is happy.

The next second, he soared straight into the sky.

After flying for less than ten seconds, he covered a distance of 20 kilometers.

Shaula didn't even care about inhaling Kenma's scent anymore, her hands tightly wrapping around him. If she loosened her grip even a little, she would be flung away on the spot.

"Waahhhh! Master, slower! I'm going to be flung away!"

Realizing that Shaula had almost been flung away just now, Kenma had no choice but to reduce his flying speed, dropping it to roughly 1,000 meters per second.

Flying like this for a dozen seconds, he suddenly thought of an important matter.

Where is Roswaal's mansion again?

It seemed he didn't know where the mansion was at all.

Let me think, is there any way to quickly find out the location of Roswaal's mansion?

Eh!

Having thought of a method, Kenma quickly descended and returned to the ground.

Looking at the lush surrounding jungle, amidst Shaula's somewhat dumbfounded gaze, Kenma cleared his throat.

"Are there any Witch Cultists around? If there are, all of you get out here!"

Ever since he transmigrated into this world, his cumulative death count had already reached over 200 times.

The residual scent of the witch on his body far surpassed that of the Sin Archbishops.

If someone extremely sensitive to the residual scent of the witch came before Kenma, they might just faint on the spot.

This was not a physical stench, but the residual scent of the witch emanating from the depths of the soul.

Before long, the shadows in the jungle suddenly began to wriggle, and one after another, Witch Cultists wearing dark purple robes and hooded caps appeared.

"Waaah! How did these conjoined perverts suddenly come out? Did Master summon them? Why do they all have the same scent as you, Master?"

At this moment, Shaula was like a country bumpkin who had just entered a metropolis, feeling amazed by everything.

Maybe it was because of something Flugel did to her back then, Shaula's memories before entering the Pleiades Watchtower were almost completely blurred.

She still remembered important people very clearly, but she had forgotten many trivial matters.

Perhaps it was a method, or perhaps it was the erosion of time.

More than a dozen Witch Cultists simultaneously bowed to Kenma with uniform movements, clearly something they did often.

"Good! Very energetic!"

Kenma praised them for a bit, then asked these Witch Cultists about the direction of Roswaal's mansion.

Having obtained the specific coordinates, he nodded in satisfaction and asked once more, "You are lingering around here, are you being led by a Sin Archbishop?"

Seeing the Witch Cultists nod, Kenma raised an eyebrow. "Is it the Sin Archbishop of Sloth, Petelgeuse Romanée-Conti?"

The Witch Cultists nodded again.

Seeing that these Witch Cultists were so obedient to him, Kenma patted the shoulder of the leader in satisfaction.

"Not bad, I am very satisfied with you. Now there is one last thing I need you to do, and that is..."

He snapped his fingers, his left eye flashing with a silvery-white light, and fluctuations lingered around him within a 30-meter radius.

"I want you to test out my newly acquired ability."
