[Dragon Slayer: Having been bathed in dragon blood. Damage against dragonkind is increased. Now enhanced to have a certain probability of executing a lethal strike against draconic beings.]
[Leadership: Possesses a charm that makes people feel comfortable and at ease. Now enhanced to make subordinates trust you swiftly.]
[Holy Body: A body blessed by a high priest, carrying the power of an angel. Greatly enhances physical qualities, possesses the trait of resisting most abnormal statuses, and can rapidly recover from injuries, poisoning, curses, and other abnormal statuses. Due to the power level, it is neither strengthened nor weakened in this world.]
Yusei was momentarily stunned seeing these three skills. Apart from the first one, the other two were excellent.
Regardless, the last one absolutely had to be recorded in his eye.
"Holy Body..." Yusei pondered for a moment, ultimately deciding to replace ALS with it.
As for the others, Electricity Storage, Sunshine Girl, All-Rounder, and Healing Spell, he decided to keep them for now.
The effect of Healing Spell overlapped with Holy Body, but Healing Spell could be used on others, which was very important.
Considering Dragon Slayer, Yusei finally decided to temporarily replace [All-Rounder].
Although All-Rounder was a bit of a pity to lose, Kaguya was right here. If he needed it later, he could swap it back.
Once [Dragon Slayer] and [Holy Body] were successfully replaced, Tohru, who had been confused by Yusei suddenly killing the two men, felt a sudden chill.
The source of the chill was naturally Yusei.
For some reason, Tohru felt that this guy seemed... even more powerful now?
Yusei looked at the otherworldly knight who was about to recover, not forgetting the habit of ensuring the kill.
The skeletal arm of the Susanoo behind him smashed down directly.
Like a hammer driving a nail, it pounded the man directly into the earth, leaving only his head exposed above ground.
He hadn't contacted other pursuers from the other world, nor did he have any more skills worth copying. Therefore, this person had no more value.
Admittedly, the feeling of killing people wasn't pleasant, but back in SAO and when rescuing Chika, he had already killed a few people.
Squelch!
The Susanoo directly crushed the head and then used earth to bury it deep underground.
Yusei turned to Tohru and said, "Well, Tohru, is handling their bodies like this alright? Will your world sense that they died?"
Tohru was taken aback, then said, "No. If they didn't leave any contingency measures, dying in this world means they are truly dead."
Yusei nodded. This sudden incident was now concluded.
From the enemy's sudden attack, to him gaining their trust through deception, then treacherously ambushing them... One could call him cunning, despicable, or cold-blooded towards his own kind. He didn't care.
But right now, what mattered more was the distinction between family and outsiders. Tohru and Kanna were dragons, yes, but they were his family, loved ones.
Protecting family and killing outsiders had nothing to do with race. In his world, that was the principle.
These people, using their world's worldview and the inertial thinking that 'humans hate dragons', tried to apply it to this world's human attitude towards dragons.
That alone destined them to fail and die.
The reason Yusei gained their trust so easily was also because of this.
What? Humans who aren't enemies with dragons? Impossible! All humans despise dragons. Not to mention this guy was just fighting this dragon, so he must be a comrade who hates dragons too!
That's how it was.
These people inexplicably trusted Yusei, and thus were ambushed and killed.
The others came down from above, and Yusei manipulated the Susanoo to pull out that glittering golden sword.
Dragon blood flowed out accordingly. Yusei dismissed the Susanoo, jumped onto Tohru's back, and seriously began healing her with Healing Spell.
Enhanced by the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, the range of Healing Spell hadn't changed, but its effectiveness was greatly increased.
Tohru didn't move recklessly, quietly letting Yusei heal her. Her massive dragon eyes showed a complex mix of emotions.
After a few minutes, looking at the now healed wound, Yusei clapped his hands.
"Alright, all done. You're fine now."
Kaguya jumped down from Kanna's back and quickly ran up to Yusei, asking with concern, "Are you hurt?"
Yusei smiled, placing a hand on Kaguya's head.
"I'm perfectly fine. Right now, I still have the strength to beat three bears to death."
Kaguya rolled her eyes at Yusei. She was about to say something when she saw Yusei's body tilt forward uncontrollably. Alarmed, she quickly caught and supported him.
"Yusei-kun?"
Seeing Yusei unresponsive, Kaguya hurriedly checked him, finally sighing in relief when she realized he had just fallen asleep from exhaustion.
Tohru watched Yusei, who had collapsed from exhaustion, her gaze shifting, flashing with worry.
But seeing that Kaguya had already picked him up and placed him on Kanna's back, she held herself back from approaching.
The speed of the two dragons returning from Mongolia to Japan was also very fast.
Kaguya stayed at the Kazami House for a while. Seeing that Yusei was just sleeping peacefully, she bid farewell and went home.
As for Kanna and Shiro, these two little girls obviously didn't know how to take care of someone. The remaining heavy responsibility fell on Tohru's shoulders.
Tohru knelt formally by Yusei's bedside, carefully tucking him in. When she saw sweat on his forehead, she gently wiped it with a towel. When he turned over, she readjusted his blankets.
The dragon maid Tohru had never been so gentle and considerate as she was today.
Just like that, Tohru stayed up the entire night, diligently taking care of Yusei all the while.
The next morning, Yusei opened his eyes, which felt like they hadn't been open for a long time, and immediately saw a delighted Tohru.
"Huh? Tohru?" Yusei rubbed his eyes, trying to sit up.
Seeing this, Tohru quickly and gently helped him up, a smile on her face.
"Good morning, Yusei. Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
"Unwell... Well, aside from my eyes stinging and being a bit blurry, not really anything else. Oh, and I need to pee."
Yusei let out a yawn. The eye thing was normal, as it was from overusing his Ocular Power. It would recover on its own.
Right now, the main thing was going to the bathroom.
Just as he was about to get out of bed, he was stopped. Tohru quickly ran outside and returned holding a urinal.
She crouched in front of Yusei with a beaming smile and said, "Yusei, come on."
