Chapter 24

Two hours later.

Big Boss still looked like Xiu Si Da Er, wandering around the alleys near the Arena.

"Hey hey hey, Big Boss, why are you participating in a duel? That's something only a madman would do!" Lilith floated beside him.

The Arena of Storm Royal Capital was not a place to compete for victory or defeat.

Under normal circumstances, a fight would only end when one side died.

This was a place where life was truly traded for money, so of course Lilith would worry.

Big Boss glanced at Lilith.

He participated in the duel because of the side quest from the dragon girl below.

The trigger conditions for this quest were extremely harsh.

Only when a player participated in a duel carrying equipment or abilities with dragon aura would they attract the attention of the Arena boss, namely that dragon lady Liuli.

Worth mentioning is that this astringent dragon girl really liked roleplaying.

The Queen of Storm Royal Capital, the boss of the Arena and Casino, and the Dean of Teaching of Full Moon Academy, among other roles, were actually all her different alts.

This matter originally could only be speculated by players from fragmented narratives in the later game.

Of course, triggering the dragon girl side quest did not include ten consecutive wins in the Arena.

This was Big Boss's extra operation to quickly farm Magic Badge Stones, increase his Dragonization Level, and incidentally obtain a powerful piece of equipment.

That piece of equipment served as a blank to synthesize one of his favorite weapons.

Anyway, for him, ten consecutive wins was easy as pie.

"Hey hey hey, even if you don't tell me why you're participating in the competition, we should go back and prepare now, right!" Lilith shouted again.

"Sigh, stop making noise, I'm fishing." Big Boss glanced at Lilith.

"Fishing?"

"That's right, the Arena Supervisor Hake is an extremely narrow-minded character. I want to win so much money from him, he definitely won't be happy. Presumably the assassins he sent have already arrived."

Big Boss looked around, curious which side the assassins coming this time were from.

Was it the Dark Brotherhood, or the Shadow Assassin Corps?

Anyway, no matter who came, they would have decent equipment on them.

Entrapment—letting the enemy deliver the package right in front of oneself—was much more convenient than going to find them one by one.

Big Boss and Lilith chatted as they walked, but the sounds around them grew smaller and smaller.

Though there was no wind, the kerosene lamps hanging overhead flickered, as if about to be blown out.

Gray mist crept up along the potholed asphalt road to their ankles, and rustling sounds came from the old walls covered in moss.

No one knew when, the moon hanging high in the sky had vanished without a trace.

Lilith was like a puffed-up cat, shivering and hiding behind Big Boss: "Wh-what happened? Wh-what's going on?"

"I see, is it that guy? Perfect timing to try out my new school."

Big Boss looked into the darkness.

He saw a woman whose beautiful flesh was tightly bound by a bodysuit, wearing a mask, her flesh almost bursting her clothes, twisting her waist and walking toward him with lotus steps.

Brown skin, golden hair, charming face, quite astringent.

But contrasting with her astringent aura was the human head she was holding in her hand.

Dark Brotherhood elite assassin—Kara Pichu.

Of course, that was only on the surface.

Actually, this assassin's soul had long been dead.

Now controlling her body was a Demon Race called Abyss Undead.

If it were in a xuanhuan background, she should be called a female ghost.

"Little brother Xiu Si Da Er, I originally thought I'd have to spend some time finding where you live." The astringent female undead stopped in front of Big Boss, her exposed eyes curving: "Did not expect you didn't hide at all."

"Seeing as you're so good, big sister I will definitely pamper you well."

Saying this, Karabisu snapped her fingers: "Your arms will break."

The words had barely fallen when Big Boss's arms directly detached from his body, and strangest of all, not a drop of blood dripped out.

"Th-this is too..." Seeing this scene, Lilith was startled: "What ability is this!"

"Oh my, little brother, it seems you have no intention of resisting big sister at all, so..." Karabisu continued: "Your legs will also break."

As soon as she finished speaking, Big Boss's legs fell apart like building blocks and he directly collapsed to the ground. And Big Boss was also grabbed by the neck by Kara Pichu and lifted into the air.

"Tsk tsk tsk, little brother." A mocking expression appeared on Karabisu's face:

"I originally thought you were turning around near the Arena because you had something to rely on, but now it seems you're just plain stupid! I say, you country bumpkin, you must be visiting Storm City for the first time and can't find a place to stay, right? Hahaha!"

"But it's okay, big sister will take you home. You must use your mouth to satisfy big sister, and then big sister will let you live to see your parents."

"Big Boss, what do we do! Your body is all broken!" Lilith floated to the side, only feeling her scalp go numb.

She didn't even know what Kara Pichu had done, only hearing her say a couple of sentences, and Big Boss's limbs were all broken.

What was this, Words Become Law?

Just what was this person's background.

Lilith had even put her hand in her pocket, preparing to take Big Boss and leave this world.

Although this would cause the save-the-world effort to fail and her promotion to go down the drain, it was still better than letting Big Boss die.

Unexpectedly Big Boss remained completely calm, with no awareness that his life hung by a thread:

"As expected of you, Kara Pichu. As long as you're given time to set up a ritual array and drag the target into it, you can use Words Become Law to easily kill. Honestly, you are indeed one of the more troublesome ones in the Dark Brotherhood."

"Abyss Undead, when I played the Dark Brotherhood side quest back then, I certainly suffered plenty at your hands."

"Wait, what are you saying? How do you know my ability and identity?"

Kara Pichu's pupils dilated, and she no longer cared about any tasks; she exerted force with her hand, about to kill Big Boss.

Unexpectedly, Big Boss had already spoken again: "Sorry, You Didn't Let Me Have Fun."

The next moment, the arms and legs scattered on the ground directly reconnected to Big Boss's body.

"You, you, how did you do this!" Kara Pichu gripped Big Boss's neck; she had never seen even one person who could break her ability like this.

"Damn it, Xiu Si Da Er, your head will be directly severed!" She roared in anger and directly plucked Big Boss's head off.

But what was terrible was that Big Boss's face still showed no panic, only faint mockery.

"Words Become Law is indeed a convenient ability; unfortunately, it still cannot let me have fun."

The severed body was reconnected to Big Boss's neck again.

And Karabisu looked at Big Boss as if she had seen a ghost, her eyes full of disbelief.

What exactly happened?

Why can't this man be killed?

Why can he still talk to himself even after his head fell off? Who exactly is the Abyss Lifeform?

Kara Pichu sensed that she had used up half of her Spiritual Power and unconsciously retreated half a step.

"Alright, Lady Kara Pichu, how many times can you still use Words Become Law?" Big Boss smiled mockingly, adjusted his head and neck that had not been joined quite properly just now, then continued: "You still haven't let me have fun."

"You, you exactly are human, or Abyss Demon Race?" Kara Pichu felt a chill down her back, sweating profusely.

"I am of course human." Big Boss smiled and looked behind Kara Pichu; there, a Snail was wriggling continuously.

The Snail was hissing.

His ability "Sorry, You Didn't Let Me Have Fun" is a recovery that affects both sides, only letting Big Boss and his enemy recover to full condition together, unable to change the outcome of the battle.

This ability has no other use besides grinding levels.

But if combined with "Hunt the Snail," it would be different.

"Hunt, Snail: You can summon a Snail that will continuously hunt you at any place within a radius of fifty meters; the Snail's Attack Power is the same as an ordinary Snail, Exist Time is five minutes, usable only once per hour."

Although that Snail was weak, it was judged to be Big Boss's enemy.

Correct, every "Sorry, You Didn't Let Me Have Fun" Big Boss said just now was not said to Kara Pichu, but to that Snail.

Using these two abilities together, Big Boss gained five minutes of invincibility.

This is the new Faction/School Big Boss invented—the Snail Invincible Style.

"You, you, damn it, you were intentionally waiting for me here! So you are the hunter!" At this moment, Kara Pichu also saw through Big Boss's Fishing Method, not daring to stay at all, turning around to flee.

Unexpectedly, a sudden sharp pain came from her Abdominal Cavity.

Immediately, she felt her hair being grabbed from behind, her clothes tearing into strips one by one, blood seeping out from within.

And Big Boss showed a Sunny Cheerful smile: "Miss Kara Pichu, where are you running to?"

"You still haven't let me have fun."
