Hyper-Dimensional Player-Chapter 404 - 31: Unleashing a Killing Spree!

In the dim passage.

Duncan nodded expressionlessly. He glanced at the camp diagonally across, donned his hood, and stealthily approached, pulling out a dagger and decisively slicing the throat of the guard at the door.

The lack of sufficient lighting underground made it quite convenient for his actions.

"Who?" came Tassia’s alert voice from inside.

Her pupils contracted slightly at the sight of the fallen resistance member, but she remained silent, staring intently at Duncan before her.

All the people here were found by her.

However, she hadn’t expected these people to seize control of the underground ruins so decisively, not only monitoring Duncan but also half-detaining her. The resistance was not monolithic, as her words, as a defector, were easily stripped of power.

Duncan looked at Tassia expressionlessly, tossing a modified rifle to her, and said coldly, "There’s a traitor within the resistance!"

"Are you going to stay here and wait to die?"

"Or join me in action?"

Tassia hesitated only for a moment before picking up the weapon. She followed, saying, "My auxiliary mechanical arm is in the box to the right of the camp."

"What about Bert and the others?"

Duncan’s deep voice rang out, "They’re being watched too."

"There’s no time to deal with them now."

"People from the Judgement Court of the Mechanical Divine Sect should have arrived already."

Tassia expertly loaded bullets, picked up a night vision device and scope from a nearby shelf, tested the precision, and said in a serious tone, "Did you know I was with the resistance all along?"

Duncan replied blandly, "Didn’t you also know I once mingled with the cultists?"

"The resistance is a dead end."

"Whether you want to follow me is up to you to seriously consider."

At this moment, outside the underground camp, a dense gunfire erupted, accompanied by dull explosions, as a multitude of red marks began to advance.

"Move!"

At the order of the Judgement Court steward, squads of Defender Army from the Mechanical Divine Sect surged into the underground passage, and a fierce gunfight erupted in an instant, catching the resistance members off guard as life marks flickered out like extinguished candle flames, one after another.

"It’s the Judgement Court people!..."

Explosions rumbled in the underground passage, as the firepower of these Mechanical Divine Sect members proved more potent. Hundreds of Defender Army members tore everything to shreds with a storm of bullets, quickly defeating the others. Each combat squad center had a Mechanical Cultivator, quietly chanting mechanical prayers, soothing the Machine Spirit for more enduring shooting.

The power disparity was a bit large.

Except for Diamond and a few high-level individuals, others were no match for the Mechanical Priests.

By this time, Duncan had stealthily maneuvered to the rear of the battlefield.

Not far away, Tassia was fixing the auxiliary mechanical arm to herself; without the enhancement of the Mechanical Armor, her physical condition as a woman was no better than that of ordinary mercenaries. Farther away, Bert and other Esoteric Practitioners’ marks were retreating from the battlefield, now that the Mechanical Divine Sect had discovered this underground ruin, they decisively chose to retreat.

But their escape route had been blocked by a squad of Defender Army.

"The time is about right."

"Let’s move."

As Duncan’s order was given, Witch Demon Konggs’ skull burst with a deep glow, unleashing a powerful High-Tier Spell that instantly took effect, as the originally deceased resistance members suddenly stood up.

"Watch out!"

"There are Esoteric Practitioners from the Death Sect here."

The Insight Cultivator warned.

As the words fell, those who had died just now picked up weapons and began wildly shooting, while the fallen Defender Army members also rose up, turning their guns to fire on their nearby comrades, with some even detonating grenades in the crowd.

Boom!

The situation turned chaotic in an instant, as these resurrected undead caused massive casualties on both sides. The Undead Calamity spell ceremony continued to take effect as the newly dead quickly transformed into undead, crazily attacking the living.

—Earthquake Technique.

At this moment, Witch Demon Konggs completed the next spell, causing the ground to quake, and the surrounding dug underground passages began to collapse on a large scale, burying everyone at the battlefield center underground, as one life mark after another disappeared.

This was with the casting range reduced; otherwise, the entire underground ruin would have collapsed due to the earthquake.

Bam!

In the darkness, Duncan raised his gun and executed the mind-controlling Judgement Court member.

This person was useless now.

A trickle of weak Spiritual Light flowed into his body, and this time Witch Demon Konggs felt it more deeply, definitely the power of Death Law, as Duncan had seized the Power of the Soul from the enemy. Even the mighty Witch Demon did not possess this ability; they could only capture souls through specific ceremonies.

Duncan’s figure stood in the darkness.

As the Witch Demon’s skull on his right shoulder opened its mouth, ghosts spread like a chilling wind in all directions, called forth by the Witch Demon.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

In the dark underground area, Duncan adjusted the God’s perspective, marking nearby hostile targets; whether they were from the Mechanical Divine Sect or the resistance, all were on his hit list.

With continuous slaughter, his marksmanship became increasingly accurate.

Since normal development doesn’t give a chance, don’t blame him for going on a killing spree. Whether it’s the Mechanical Divine Sect or the Rebellion, anyone blocking his path must die.

He’s been holding back for too long!

——"Gun Master (Special Ability): Your mastery of firearms has reached an extraordinary level, greatly improving your accuracy in combat with any firearm. You can sense the Mechanical Soul of the gun and make it obey your commands through means like calming, inspiring, and suppressing. Your firearms will never jam, even in overload state they still hit effectively, and inspiring the Machine Spirit can improve accuracy and critical strikes."

[Note: The Mechanical Soul is limited to World Number Three, in other worlds it’s just a regular gun master.]

In the midst of darkness, Duncan relentlessly harvested heads.

After Diamond, the leader of the Rebellion, seized control of the underground ruins and secretly monitored him, Duncan’s ties with the Rebellion were completely severed.

Now he only has a bit of personal connection with Tassia.

After continuously shooting over ten people, there are no longer any living red hostile marks within his minimap range.

Duncan relies on the God’s-eye view marks to distinguish friend from foe.

As long as there’s hostility, be it Rebellion or Mechanical Divine Sect, they are killed without mercy!

Cough cough.

A disheveled Tassia climbed out from the edge of the collapsed ruins. Without the Witch Demon’s covert protection, she almost got buried in the earthquake and now is still unclear about what happened, only hearing continuous explosions.

"Why did it suddenly earthquake?"

"What do we do now?"

As she spoke, Tassia transformed from a blue mark to a light green mark unit, indicating she would somewhat obey Duncan’s orders.

This series of incidents has left her panic-stricken, instinctively seeking the still calm Duncan.

"Silence."

Duncan’s eyes narrowed slightly, coldly stating: "First eliminate the Judgement Court people."

Some people haven’t died under the earthquake.

Duncan approached the collapsed area along the shattered passage, Tassia nervously following, seemingly fearing another aftershock. Living in the lower levels of Nest City is very earthquake-fearing, even steel bastion gathering points can be easily buried on a large scale.

In Dimension Space, Duncan marked the unit of the Judgement Court’s steward from God’s-eye view.

Four-star silver-gray enemies, not so easily killed by the earthquake.

At this moment, sounds of digging emerged from the collapsed area ahead, that Judgement Court steward relied on modified mechanical limb, actually dug himself out from underground.

Bang!

But before he stood up, he saw a dark gaping gun barrel.

Without hesitation, Duncan pulled the trigger, directly blowing the opponent’s head away. Among the bursts of the head, only half was biomass, the cerebellum was replaced with mechanical parts, the Refined Gold spine was supposed to provide strong kinetic energy, but now it can do nothing, despite the head blowing off, the spine position still sizzling with sparks.

It’s already close to half of a modified flesh body.

A faint Spiritual Light appeared.

With the Judgement Court steward’s sudden death before him, Duncan’s Mechanical Nanofluid within his body felt unusual movement, as if it got energy replenishment, beginning to operate without consuming the Mana Bar.

"Can the Dimension Space even seize the Mechanical Priest’s modification ability?"

Duncan showed slight astonishment.

As the Mechanical Nanofluid operated on its own, a hint gradually emerged.

——"Mechanical Mind (Special Ability): You can actively control brain tissue, temporarily block many human emotional interferences, and your mind becomes cold like machinery, possessing high resistance to most mind magic.

In the Mechanical Mind state, your intelligence temporarily boosts, and understanding, analysis, computation ability slightly enhances."

An active skill mark appeared on the projection page.

It’s similar to Duncan’s initial Adrenaline Burst, which has a cooldown time after activation.

"Indeed, slaughter is the fastest way to improve myself." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Duncan can only unleash a killing spree here; if it were in the gather places of Nest City, they’d quickly be suppressed by the Mechanical Divine Sect. Each area of Nest City has a Mechanical Bishop who can deploy Defender Army and activate large Mechanical Divine Sect’s Mechanical Guards.

Order in this world is terribly strict.

"Give me the sniper rifle."

Upon hearing Duncan’s words, Tassia instinctively handed her sniper rifle over.

She doesn’t know how Duncan discovers those buried Mechanical Priests.

——Steel-cast Warrior (Three-star silver-gray).

Judgement Court’s stewards lean towards mechanical reconstruction, while Steel-cast Warriors are part of Duncan’s sect. At this moment, a pile of collapsed debris was lifted by Barbaric Power, then an all-body silver-gray giant-like figure climbed out wretchedly.

This person’s skin was pitted, like deformed iron sheets, with remarkable tenacity.

Bang!

Duncan shot directly in the dark, with a flash of light the Steel-cast Sect’s warrior instantly got shot in the head, however, they didn’t die immediately, as the bullet got wedged in their forehead.

Bang!

Duncan switched to Armor-Piercing Bullets and pulled the trigger again, this time the enemy’s head split open directly.
