The principle was the same as “Kamui Shuriken”—both belonged to the same type of ability. In theory, Byn could also imbue his bck and white dual swords with the power of Kamui if he wished.
However, borrowing Kurome's “Yatsufusa” allowed him to achieve two goals at once—earning System Points while also adding the Super-Css Danger Beast, Death Tagool, to Yatsufusa’s ranks.
Wielding the Kamui-enhanced Yatsufusa, Byn sshed directly at Death Tagool, who was still in hibernation. The bde, imbued with Kamui’s power, tore through the beast’s incredibly hard bones with ease—what was once an impenetrable defense now crumbled like brittle paper.
The sudden injury jolted Death Tagool awake, but before it could react, its massive skull was severed in a single strike.
Kurome’s eyes widened in shock. She knew just how formidable Super-Css Danger Beasts like Death Tagool were—their destructive energy waves could alter terrain, and their skeletal bodies had no discernible weak points.
Her Yatsufusa was primarily used for summoning corpse puppets; its sharpness was far from exceptional among weapon-type Teigus. For Byn to decapitate such a beast so effortlessly was beyond her comprehension.
Was he somehow more compatible with Yatsufusa than she was, able to draw out a strength she never could?
“Attack together!”
Pushing aside her surprise, Kurome commanded her corpse puppets to strike.
Though Death Tagool was not particurly resilient compared to some other Danger Beasts, decapitation alone wasn’t enough to guarantee its death. The corpse puppets, summoned before Byn borrowed Yatsufusa, still followed Kurome’s orders.
However, their attacks barely made a dent—the beast’s defenses remained nearly impenetrable.
Fortunately, having just awakened from hibernation, Death Tagool was far weaker than usual. With its head severed, it had little ability to fight back.
Byn, on the other hand, was cutting through it with ease. His first strike had taken its head, and his second cleanly severed its right arm.
Realizing that Byn’s attacks were by far the most effective, Kurome swiftly called out, “Its only weakness is the heart! Destroy it, and you’ll kill it for good!”
She had thoroughly researched Death Tagool before the hunt, ensuring she understood its abilities, habits, and weaknesses.
Upon hearing her words, Byn reversed his grip and drove his bde straight into Death Tagool’s chest. No matter how thick or sturdy its bones were, they stood no chance against Kamui Yatsufusa.
The moment his bde pierced through, he felt the presence of a massive, pulsating heart—one brimming with life.
But in an instant, that life was snuffed out.
[Ding! The Host has sin a “Super-Css Danger Beast” and received 50 System Points!]
As the notification rang out, the bck incantations of Yatsufusa seeped into Death Tagool’s body. In the blink of an eye, the once-dead beast stirred again—resurrected.
Death Tagool was no longer an enemy; it was now a part of Yatsufusa.
Byn returned the weapon to Kurome.
“Thanks. If it weren’t for you, I would have had to pay a heavy price,” she said sincerely.
“No big deal,” Byn replied casually.
On the surface, he looked unfazed—completely unharmed. In reality, both his body and eye power had been pushed to their limits.
Kamui Enchantment was an incredibly draining ability, far more exhausting than simple Intangibility or Spatial Transfer. Each swing of his bde consumed his energy at an arming rate.
After just three strikes, he was already nearing his limit.
He sighed inwardly—maybe he had gone a little overboard trying to show off. That said, Kamui Enchantment had undoubtedly been the best method for the situation.
At least he had gained 50 System Points—it was a worthwhile trade. After all, his stamina and eye power would recover on their own, but System Points wouldn’t accumute automatically.
“Commander... your eyes are bleeding…”
Kurome’s voice suddenly pulled him from his thoughts.
“Huh?”
Byn raised a hand to his face and wiped beneath his eye. Sure enough, his fingers came away stained with fresh blood.
He must not have noticed it until Kurome pointed it out.
Compared to the sharp pain in his eyes and the slight blurring of his vision, the bleeding was trivial. The pain alone overshadowed the sensation of blood trickling down his face.
Fortunately, his regenerative abilities would gradually restore his vision and ease the discomfort.
“You really pushed yourself too hard using two Teigus at once, didn’t you?” Kurome asked, her concern evident.
“I’m fine, don’t worry,” Byn said with a faint smile.
He couldn’t exactly expin the details of his “Dual Kamui” ability.
Kurome, however, didn’t seem convinced. Taking out a white handkerchief, she gently wiped away the lingering blood beneath his eyes.
“Commander, don’t push yourself like that again. Leave the rest to me,” she said.
“Alright,” Byn nodded slightly.
At the same time, he accessed the system menu in his mind.
[System Points: 60]
[Ding! The Host has exchanged “Constitution +40,” deducting 40 System Points!][Ding! The Host has exchanged “Strength +10,” deducting 10 System Points!][Ding! The Host has exchanged “Agility +10,” deducting 10 System Points!]
[Strength: 50][Agility: 50][Constitution: 130]
With the upgrades, Byn felt himself recovering rapidly.
He suddenly realized the importance of keeping spare System Points. In a crisis, instantly boosting his stats could be a game-changer—almost like having a second life.
Meanwhile, Kurome remained fixated on how Byn had managed to wield Yatsufusa with such devastating power.
She walked over to Death Tagool and attempted a ssh of her own.
The result was clear—her strike barely scratched the surface, leaving only a shallow mark on its bone.
Even without using her full strength, she knew that even at her best, she could never achieve the effortless, razor-sharp cuts that Byn had dispyed.
This only confirmed that if Byn hadn’t been there, hunting this Super-Css Danger Beast would have come at a steep cost for her. At the very least, she would have had to rely heavily on recovery drugs.
“Commander Byn, how did you manage to cut through its bones so easily? Could it be that you’re actually more suited to be Yatsufusa’s wielder than I am?”
She turned to him, unable to suppress her curiosity any longer.
