Chapter 22: Surrounded
Chapter 22: Surrounded
“Seriously, another guy who can tank bullets with his bare body? Is this match supposed to be this difficult?” Kamiyu recalled the nightmare of being dominated by Mohawk just a few hours ago.
At least Mohawk had a 1-second window for DPS, but this Jack’s 【Steel Great Wall】 Talent permanently boosted his Defense Power.
How was she supposed to fight this?
Kamiyu took a deep breath. Refusing to believe it, she pulled out a large-caliber Shotgun from her void Storage.
Boom, boom, boom, boom.
The single Slug that could kill an Elephant had no effect on this muscle-bound guy?
“No good. I have to bring out my Signature Sniper. Normal Weapons can’t hurt Jack,” Kamiyu thought urgently.
“But the distance is too close; there’s no chance to take the shot,” she thought, equally urgent.
She needed to create some distance first.
Jack took two steps, then suddenly stopped.
Why did this muscle-head across from her stop? Did another enemy Player enter the arena?
Little did she know, Jack said nonchalantly, “The gunshots sound different. You haven’t used your Talent or Skill yet, have you? Show me your real skill.”
Kamiyu’s eyes widened.
What was with this guy? He was actually giving his enemy an opportunity? Was he that arrogant? This was a Life-or-Death Duel, and he just assumed he would definitely beat her?
Kamiyu thought she couldn’t back down now; she had to act like she still had plenty of strength left.
So, struggling to her feet, she said arrogantly, “Hmph, I’m really being underestimated here.”
Jack didn’t reply. Instead, he tilted his head back, raised his hand, and moved his four fingers together in a “you go first” taunting gesture towards Kamiyu.
One of Kamiyu’s eyebrows raised. “You really aren’t afraid of dying. My Signature Sniper is a Legendary Weapon. It took out Mohawk from over 10 kilometers away with one shot.”
“I saw. That’s why I’m here to find you now,” Jack said calmly, as if it were nothing.
Kamiyu thought, Hey, hey, hey, take this seriously, will you? This is a Life-or-Death Duel.
This muscle-head Jack didn’t seem to care much about life and death.
“And, if I were afraid, I wouldn’t have come. Since I’m here, I’m not afraid,” Jack added, even spreading his arms wide to show off his solid muscles.
He looked like a bodybuilder on stage showcasing his physique.
Whether from nervousness or something else, Kamiyu actually blushed a little seeing Jack completely naked, without a stitch of clothing.
“Fine, I’ll aim right there. Get ready, you exhibitionist Pervert streaker,” Kamiyu said, Summoning her Signature Sniper.
Kamiyu also noticed that after she said this, Jack, who had been so arrogant just moments before, showed a flicker of hesitation in his expression and took a small step back.
She immediately fired from the hip.
Bang.
In an instant, Kamiyu withdrew her Signature Sniper and pulled out a small Pistol.
She was trying to bait out Jack’s Skill. She thought to herself, since he had seen her use her Signature Sniper to Kill a Player from over 10 kilometers away,
Jack naturally knew the Attack Power of that Sniper Rifle. He would definitely use a Skill to block this attack.
Who knew Jack didn’t move at all, just standing there motionless.
This left Kamiyu extremely embarrassed. Was he really that confident? Not afraid she might actually one-shot him?
Meanwhile, on Jack’s side.
He had no idea what this little pink-haired runt was up to. Wasn’t it agreed that she would use her character’s exclusive weapon to attack him?
Why was she using ordinary firearms against him now?
Jack, with his martial fanatic personality, was truly too “naive” in his thinking, failing to anticipate the cunning and deceit of the little pink-haired demon before him.
Even now, he couldn’t figure out that Kamiyu’s goal was to trick him into using his 【Golden Body】 skill with ordinary guns.
His Golden Body skill was still on cooldown. At this moment, if Kamiyu used her Sniper Rifle, her Headshot Strike skill, or a Delayed Implosion Bullet, she could potentially deal damage to Jack.
His immense and unwavering confidence, however, actually intimidated Kamiyu.
Kamiyu thought to herself, “He’s not falling for my sneaky scheme. Did he see through my plan?”
“Is he that clever?”
Kamiyu sighed inwardly, “How do you fight an opponent whose intelligence and combat prowess are both maxed out?”
She didn’t realize that her opponent simply didn’t have as many tricks up his sleeve as she did. His approach was all about sincerity: letting you attack, letting you do whatever you want, and once you’re done, it’s Jack’s turn to strike.
It was almost as if Hanayama had possessed him.
Kamiyu said, “I was just trying to scare you earlier. I didn’t expect you wouldn’t take the bait. Are you really confident you can withstand your own full-power attack?”
From Kamiyu’s perspective, she couldn’t see through her opponent’s thoughts and assumed he still had many tricks in reserve. She continued to posture, trying to intimidate Jack while preparing to throw a Flashbang Grenade and flee.
After all, your body might withstand bullets, but can it withstand light waves and sound wave attacks?
As the saying goes, Kamiyu wasn’t skilled in melee combat. She needed to create distance. A Mage fighting a Warrior, of course, needs to kite from a distance.
Jack replied naturally, “If you don’t attack me with all your strength, I won’t let you off.”
“Huh?” Kamiyu frowned tightly.
What kind of ambiguous statement was that? So you’re not just an exhibitionist, but also a perverted player into that kind of play.
I have no interest in playing along with a pervert like you.
Although Kamiyu pulled out her Signature Sniper again, her “hands” in the void were already gripping two Flashbang Grenades.
The distance between them was less than 8 meters.
Kamiyu raised her gun, preparing to fire from the hip.
Just as she was about to pull the trigger.
She noticed dozens of footsteps behind her. Jack, who had been focused on her, also shifted his gaze from her to look behind her.
“Don’t move. I am Captain Xu Liwen of the Special Operations Force Against Black Sphere. You are under arrest,” Xu Liwen shouted loudly.
Of course, Xu Liwen wasn’t some easygoing, pleasant character. Her statement was merely a legal formality to legitimize the operation. Once said, they could start fighting.
The helicopter was hijacked by Jack from the Special Operations Force, and it even crashed into a building, causing extremely negative social impact. He must be eliminated.
Furthermore, when Xu Liwen saw the Sniper Rifle in Kamiyu’s hand and her pink hair, she immediately thought of the last person mentioned in the intelligence Zhang Wei provided.
She asked tentatively, “Were you the one who killed those three players in the district not long ago?”
The text is a repetition of the Chinese characters
Kamiyu held no goodwill toward Xu Liwen, who had barged in uninvited, even though she had “helped” her kill Mohawk.
She thought to herself, this person’s abilities were equally dangerous. Now she was caught between a rock and a hard place, trapped in a dilemma with threats on both sides.
But the more difficult the situation, the more she couldn’t let her cool demeanor slip.
She said nonchalantly, “So what?”
Xu Liwen, looking at the Sniper Rifle aimed at her, thought in surprise, “This place is a full 15 kilometers from the street where we were just fighting.”
