Chapter 432: 432
At the same time, 2 km away.
“How did it come to this…” Ambitionist was carrying Pegasus on his shadow and King of Shadow was behind them running.
“Carrying a person with Sophomore Syndrome, followed by my nemesis while avoiding the killing of the Anomaly…” Ambitionist grumbled under his breath. “How does thing come to this state…”
“Stop your futile struggle.” Suddenly a voice said, it was a female voice. “Based on your speed, you won’t be able to shake us off.” An Anomaly that had a giraffe face said, this was someone who had received beastial enhancement. Then, three figures caught up to surround the three players.
“Ishida, just put us down and run on your own.” Pegasus opened his mouth to advise. His spine hadn’t recovered so he still couldn’t move. King of Shadow also concurred. “Yes, Pegasus still can’t move. And myself… well, I’m not good at physical combat and I’m injured, so there’s nothing much I can do… You should try to run away on your own, I will try my best to buy some time for you.”
Ambitionist was silent for a few seconds and then scoffed. “First, I need to stress again that my name is Ambitionist…” Perhaps he did it on purpose, as he said that, he dropped Pegasus to the ground. The latter did not react when he hit the ground because he could not feel his body anymore…”Secondly if I wanted to run away on my own… I would have gone separately about 10 minutes ago.” Ambitionist said, “A summoner who has lost his summoning power and a saint seiya that broke his spine, these are four easy points for me to grab. I could have killed you two before I started to escape.”
“Looks like you have given it much thought…” King of Shadow said.
“Of course, that is part of being a tactician.” Ambitionist pushed on his glasses. “But… At this stage of the game, the points probably have lost their meaning…” he paused. “in any case, I wouldn’t allow myself to be captured by these people, who knew what would happen…” As he spoke, Ambitionist armed his long bow. This bow was a Sorcery Weapon and the light arrows that he used definitely exhausted Sorcery Points. Earlier when he used Spirit Spark, he had exhausted all of his Sorcery Points so he put his weapon away. But now, facing this tremendous danger, Ambitionist had no choice but to use this weapon again even though his Sorcery Points had recovered to only 20 points.
“Hmph… A futile resistance.” The third Anomaly looked at Ambitionist and said snidely.
“Let me.” The female Anomaly said and took one step forward. She then charged with her claws aimed at Ambitionist’s throat.
…
Bang!
A loud noise and a blood flower. The Anomaly’s head was like a popped pimple… it turned into a pus filled with brain matter, blood and other matter and splashed all over the street.
“What!” Not only the two other Anomalies, even Ambitionist and King of Shadow were shocked.
“Hey? What happened? What happened?” Only Pegasus who could only lie there and look into the sky kept on asking the question.
“Hmph…” With a scoff, two figures dropped down from the sky. From their hairstyle, King of Shadow and Ambitionist recognized them as… Qu Ming with the afro and Zhen Nan with the mohawk.
“Prepare for Trouble.” Qu Ming began.
“Make it double.” Zhen Nan continued.
“To protect the world from devastation!”
“To denounce the evils of truth and love!”
Hong—
Their opening was interrupted… as a large paper box dropped from the sky to cover the beastial-enhanced Anomaly. Then another person flew over and trampled on the paper box. The person that showed up this time wore a brown pyjama robe and slippers, with cow-licked hair. His dispirited face had a thick black sunglasses perched on it.
“Phew—” Uncle Worthless blew a smoke ring and grumbled. “Just get on the with fight, what does that got to do with peace and love…”
“You…” The remaining Anomaly was shocked when he assessed Uncle Worthless’ data but he only got time to say one word.
Boom. Another bullet soared through the sky and it was another headshot.
“Oh, it’s you guys…” King of Shadow looked at the party gathered before him and said darkly. “Then the person sniping from a far should be Ming Zi, right.” Looks like he knew the trio well, he probably fought them in the past.
At that moment, the paper box Uncle Worthless was stepping on started to shake violently and strange barking came from within…
“Hmm… This one lasts longer than the rest.” Uncle Worthless sat down with his legs crossed on the paper box, using his body weight to steady the box.
“What are you doing…” Ambitionist narrowed his eyes and mocked. “People’s cars vibrate but your box also vibrates…”
“Hey! Why is there a dog barking? What is actually going on?” Pegasus was still shouting.
“Eh? What’s wrong with him?” Qu Ming asked as he walked over.
“His spine is injured,” King of Shadow replied, “oh, right, I do remember you know how to…”
“Ah!” Pegasus’ scream interrupted his words. When Qu Ming heard the word spine, he already admitted a medical skill on Pegasus.
Name: Battle Treatment
Skill Card Property: Active, Permanent
Skill Type: Medic
Effect: Randomly remove a debuff from the target (Target is limited to players. Cooldown is 30 minutes and one have to whack the injured location with a blunt instrument to initiate the effect.)
Exhaust: 250 Stamina Points
Learning Requirement: Medic E
Remark: A medical skill popular among the barbarians.
PS: We never use anaesthetic during our surgery to remove appendix, we only need a bottle of vodka or a sturdy bat
PS2: Experiments have shown that the world’s most effective repair method is to hit the broken object repeatedly. This method can also be used to ‘fix’ over-active children.
The blunt instrument that Qu Ming used was a metallic baseball bat.
With this one swung, Pegasus’ skull was numb from the pain. The pain was so intense that he jumped up from the ground. Two seconds later, he said rather belatedly. “Wait… I can move already?” he tried to move his limbs and looked at the menu. “Even though the Life Points hasn’t recovered, but the debuff has discovered…”
At the same time, the paper box under Uncle Worthless stopped moving and the barking stopped. So Uncle Worthless jumped up from the box and snapped his fingers. The next second the box started to shrink into a size about 8 cm. Uncle Worthless turned around and opened the box.
Underneath the box was a Husky… the dog was that big, technically it was just a puppy. It wagged its tail at Uncle Worthless and barked lovingly twice.
The cute puppy might look harmless but if you look closer… you’d notice the bloody guts dangling from the husky’s jaw.
