Chapter 353 Battle of the Toys 7
After the discussion ended, Feng Bujue and Xiao Tan left with the two Transformers. Normally, a Transformer who couldn't transform wouldn't be a good one. And as traditional toys and not omakes, Jazz and Nightbeat obviously had the ability to transform. They naturally transformed into vehicles. Even though their construction wasn't that exquisite, the players could sit inside them. However, sitting on the rooftop was plausible.
Therefore, Jazz volunteered to have the two players sit on the rooftop of their transformed forms, so that they could save travelling time. Brother Jue and Xiao Tan were fine with the idea. After being shrunk into the size of toys, a journey of several meters needed to be recalibrated in terms of kilometers. They needed to save Stamina Points. Therefore, ten minutes later, the two players sped through several hundred meters on top of the Transformers and soon arrived at the Lego House.
The so-called Lego House was a showcase area built in the middle of the Lego toy aisle. The racks around the showcase were filled with various boxes of Lego blocks, and the showcase itself was a rectangular room surrounded by glass walls. The room inside held a city made fully of Legos. The buildings, roads, vehicles, decorations, people, and everything else were all made from Legos. It was quite an eye-grabbing showcase. Not only children but even adults would feel the urge to play with them.
"We'll walk from now on," Jazz said through the car speaker. He slowed down as they approached the Lego House. Following behind, Nightbeat slowed down as well. Feng Bujue did not ask for an explanation. He glanced at Xiao Tan, and the two of them jumped down from the cars. Two seconds later, Jazz and Nightbeat transformed back into robots. Their human forms were not as tall as Optimus Prime, but they were still taller than the players. After the transformation, Jazz said, "Be on your toes. If the Legos have really joined the Novel, then we might be ambushed once we step through the entrance."
"But that is not the worst," Nightbeat said. "If they declared their stance so openly and they fired at us, then it'll be simpler for us to retreat. The worrisome thing is—"
"They will trick us to get into their lair and then try to capture us, like the story capturing a turtle in a jar," Xiao Tan said.
"Your analogy makes us sound like turtles," Feng Bujue said in a mocking tone.
"Oh…then how about closing the door to hit the dogs?" Xiao Tan suggested.
"That fits you better, but I personally suggest you stop trying to use idioms in normal conversation." Feng Bujue held his forehead in his palm and shook his head.
Tsk.
At that moment, a blade aura cut through the air. This strike was strong like a tiger and fast like the wind. For some reason, Feng Bujue felt this skill appear so very familiar.
Jazz and Nightbeat reacted quickly. They grabbed the two players and pulled them back to safety. After the attack, Xiao Tan still hadn't calmed down. He was slightly flustered. Nightbeat was next to him. He said, "Pay attention, newbie. The enemy seems to have sent a powerful character."
"Ittou Ryuu Bird Dance." After a few seconds, Feng Bujue finally remembered the name of this skill and where he had seen it before. But this slash was far more powerful compared to the slash that he experienced from Flashes of Swords in terms of strength, speed, and force.
"Humph… that missed…" Zoro walked out from the shadow half a meter away. He sheathed Meito Shusui and said, "Then again, I should have expected nothing less from Jazz and Nightbeat. Consider that a greeting."
"Hey, someone super scary has appeared!" Xiao Tan gasped.
"He is an omake that is almost the same size as we are, but he can unleash powerful slashes on the same power level of a 'one-time use' skill freely," mumbled Feng Bujue, who was getting worried. "And why would he appear at a place like this? Unless…"
"You're that Feng Bujue, right?" Zoro asked as walked slowly toward Brother Jue. His right hand was on the hilt of his blade, and he held it with ease. He appeared to be just walking, but his every move seemed to convey a murderous intent. "I hear you're a very worthy opponent."
Feng Bujue laughed dryly. "A worthy opponent? That misunderstanding will be cleared up once I turn around to escape."
"Escape?" Zoro then shook his head. "Being hit from the back is the sign of indignity for a swordsman."
"I'm not a swordsman. I'm a gentleman," Feng Bujue said as he narrowed his eyes. Nightbeat interrupted them. "Zoro, even though you are an idiot… how could you dare to show up even after you've seen me and Jazz? That can only mean that…" Nightbeat looked around and continued, "…you have partners?"
His prediction was correct. As he finished, a crimson shadow appeared from behind another rack. "I do not wish to kill, but due to the mission, I have to provide the necessary support." Kenshin Himura appeared harmless and did not show like he was there to kill. "I hope that you never cross over this line before me."
"I do not wish to rely on brute force either, but a mission is a mission. We only need to kill the two dudes from another world, right?" A third voice rang out and Gourry Gabriev appeared from the rack opposite from Kenshin.
"It is certain then…" Feng Bujue said as his lips twitched. He turned to look at the fourth corner, and the fourth swordsman appeared. "We have been surrounded."
"Actually, the only person I want to kill is Toshiro-san," Okita Sougo mumbled weakly.
Seeing this, Xiao Tan moved several steps toward Feng Bujue and urgently whispered, "What's this? Are these the four strongest swordsmen from ACG?"
"Hmm…This situation is indeed very bad for us," Feng Bujue answered.
"How about we escape from the air?" Xiao Tan asked in a low voice. "You should be able to carry someone with your Geppo, right?"
"That I can do, but to escape from the air…" Feng Bujue shook his head. "Even if our jumping ability can shake away Zoro's slashes and Sougo's rocket launcher, but—" He turned to Gourry and said, "That blade of light is far more troublesome." He paused. "Honestly, of these four, the biggest threat here for me is Gourry. From pure destructive power, Kenshin and Sougo could kill more than hundreds, mowing lives down like grass, and Zoro is like an unstoppable demon god. But Gourry…he is someone who doesn't know magic and has an intelligence close to a jellyfish, but he can manage to face off against many powerful saints, high demons, and even the king of demons. His blade can shoot out slash waves with every swing, and it can even cut through spiritual entities."
"Then does that mean it is over for us?" Xiao Tan groaned resignedly.
In deep thought, Feng Bujue replied, "Hmm. There's no need to surrender before a fight. After all, these are just toys. They aren't as strong as portrayed in their respective sources. Furthermore, isn't this Killing Game meant for you to have more chances to train with humanoid opponents? These omakes are the perfect training partners."
"You're right," Xiao Tan said as he showed a serious look. He took out Energy-Story San Leng Thorns from his inventory. Before entering the scenario, Feng Bujue had gifted this new weapon to him. "I'll give it my best."
