Chapter 64 - The World’s First Subjugation - 01
“Kenya!”
“Reina! Let’s take this thing down!”
“Understood!”
Reina’s speed and attack power exceed 3,000.
With her full strength, no monster on this floor should be able to resist.
Even creatures from higher floors wouldn’t stand a chance.
Normally, that is…
“Huh!?”
“Pi-gi! Pi-gi!♥”
The steel slime swiftly slips between Reina’s legs, as if to say, “Is something wrong?”
It hops around joyfully, as though it’s teasing them, daring them to catch it.
Irritated.
A wrinkle forms between Reina’s eyebrows.
Understanding that the slime is mocking her, an emotion of anger begins to grow inside her.
“So, this is anger, huh?” she mutters.
“Reina?”
“Haaa!!!”
Reina, driven by her rage, chases after the steel slime.
It dodges; she pursues; it dodges again.
She reaches out to grab it, but it slips away, and she gets angrier.
Again and again, Reina tries to catch the slime, slashing at it.
But she cannot land a hit.
Seeing Reina’s frustration, Kenya watches for a while but realizes that Reina won’t be able to catch it.
In fact, it’s starting to feel a bit pitiful how much the slime is toying with her.
About ten minutes pass.
The battle between Reina and the slime comes to an end.
“Reina…”
Reina is lying face down on the snow, defeated.
The slime gleefully hops on her back.
“Pi-gi! Pi-gi! (laughing)”
“Ugh… K-Kenya…”
Reina, after being endlessly teased by the slime and unable to catch it, looks at Kenya with a face that is on the verge of tears.
(Even Reina, with her stats above 3,000, can’t catch it? Is it impossible to catch? That shouldn’t be the case.)
“Alright, I’ll handle it. Status!”
Kenya checks his status and performs status alchemy.

(If I convert all my stats into speed, I’ll exceed 7,000, but considering air resistance, I’ll leave 1,000 in defense.)
Kenya redistributes his stats into speed and defense.
Then, he starts running.
Snow flies into the air, leaving even sound behind as he moves.
The speed boost from the stat adjustment is not the same as raw power.
Speed, by nature, comes from leg strength.
Raising attack power increases muscle strength and naturally boosts movement speed as well.
But speed, as a stat, enhances movement efficiency more effectively than just raising attack power.
The exact formula behind these numbers is unknown, and whether there’s a specific pattern remains unclear.
However, when comparing two people with 100 points each in attack power and speed, the one with speed will win the race every time.
Thus, Kenya puts all his stats into speed, focusing solely on catching the slime.
With a speed of over 6,000, Kenya chases after the steel slime.
At this speed, even the air itself becomes a source of damage, but with 1,000 in defense, he remains unharmed.
