“Pegasasu Ryūsei Ken!” Pegasus maintained his style of calling out the name of his skill before attacking and launched another assault. This thing was fighting two against one but he managed to hold Ambitionist and King of Shadow back.
“This is ridiculous… He’s using the same skill repeatedly but the power of the skill is still increasing?” King of Shadow said. He managed to draw that conclusion from the damage suffered by Blood Golem. Ambitionist added, “That is the difficulty of dealing with someone that suffers from Sophomore Syndrome…”
“Oh! Keep on burning! My little universe!” Pegasus kept using this passionate tone and expression to repeat these cringy quotes. At that moment, The Observer stood to the side and watched this battle coldly. He did not have any good affection towards this group of travellers from another world but since Snared Soul had given the command… to not get entangled with these people so the Observer only watched, he did not stop them or side with anyone. But… just as the battle was about to get to another level, the Observer sensed something… he instantly told the three players. “Travellers from another world… I wish to remind you something.”
His words successfully got the player’s attention, they all turned towards him.
“There is a creature that has mal-intention towards you who is heading this way.” When the Observer said that, its body had started to change into a mud like state. It slowly seeped underground. “If I am you, I would run now…” The Observer was an underground dweller, if not for the Blood Golem, he would not have shown himself. So it was reasonable for the blue giant to use this method to retreat.
“What? Another villain is coming?” Pegasus turned around to glare at the other two players. “Hmph… Do you think you can win by calling for more evil backup?”
“Bro… There has to be a brain in that head of yours right?” King of Shadow chided. “What does that have to do with us?”
Ambitionist said, “Don’t waste your time explaining it to him. He lives in a different world compared to ours, we can’t communicate with him normally.”
Tsk—
Suddenly, a lazer beam shot through the air and cut off their conversation. The attack target was the largest Blood Golem. With the speed of this Glow beam, King of Shadow was unable to evade on time (There is bound to be a time difference from the moment the user gave the order and the summoned creature carried out the order). In just 2 seconds, the giant Blood Golem was evaporated by the lazer beam…
Ambitionist and Pegasus looked on with shock, they were surprised by this sudden attack. After the Glow faded away, they saw King of Shadow drop to the ground, his mouth coughing with blood and his face blanched.
“You… have to be kidding…” At the last moment before the Blood Golem collapsed, King of Shadow unhooked his connection to the creature and barely saved his life.
“Jesus Christ…” Ambitionist soon recovered himself and rushed to King of Shadow’s side. The latter saw this and his first reaction was… the man was probably going to stab me to grab some points. But to his surprise, Ambitionist did not go after the weakened King of Shadow but took out a strange item that looked like a spoon, waved it twice and used a medic skill.
“Can you stand up now?” After using the skill, Ambitionist looked down the direction where the lazer came from guardedly.
“Phew… why did you save me?” King of Shadow stood up and adjusted his breath. “That was a perfect chance for you to get at least one more point right?”
“Our battle is one thing and the point is another.” Ambitionist said, “The battle between us is not going to end in this ridiculous manner.” He paused. “Furthermore… if you die, then it means I will have to face this person with Sophomore Syndrome and another unknown powerful enemy alone…”
“Ah!” Pegasus who stood not far away suddenly yelled. Ambitionist and King of Shadow turned to the man and saw Pegasus look at them with fiery tears in his eyes. He said chokingly. “This is so touching! So this is the power of brotherhood!”
“No… This is the just a reasonable option made by a normal person when facing an idiot and an unknown threat…” Ambitionist mocked internally.
“Ishida, I thought you were just a despicable character who would shoot at people from afar, but you have impressed me!” Pegasus told Ambitionist. Ambitionist pushed on his glasses and replied, “Pegasus… can you please… remind yourself that you are an actual human being… And do remember my actual Id, it’s Ambitionist.”
“Ha ha ha…” King of Shadow could not help laughing. “Now that he mentions it… I can totally see the resemblance.”
Ambitionist said coldly, “Hmph… Preposterous. Other than the hairstyle, the glasses, the white outfit, the gloves and bow, I challenge you to find any similarity.”
“Do you even hear yourself?” King of Shadow chided.
“Sorry for the interruption.” Suddenly a forth voice began to interrupt them. A figure who was glowing appeared at the other end of the street.
“Dear three… players.” Y2-Bright Glow’s voice was like a bell chime. When he raised his voice, his voice could travel a long distance. “Do you mind coming… with me?”
“Well, I’m surprised you’d be so civilized after that attack.” King of Shadow took a step forward with a sharp gaze. “It was you who shot that lazer right? Is it your habit to attack people first before approaching them with the intention to communicate?”
“if one is killed by that level of attack…” Y2-Bright Glow answered as he sauntered over to them, “Then there is no need for capture.”
“Bastard…” King of Shadow cursed, now he was angered.
“Wait a minute…” Ambitionist seemed to realize something. He asked the approaching glowing man. “What did you call us earlier?”
“Players.” Y2-Bright Glow replied, “Or you’re going to tell you’re not.”
“Who are you?” Ambitionist asked instinctually but one second later, he corrected himself, “No… what are you?”
“What am i?” Y2-Bright Glow repeated before he scoffed. “That is an interesting question. It should be you who shall provide me with the answer to that question, so why are you asking me that instead?”
With that, Ambitionist’s expression shifted. While Pegasus and King of Shadow looked confused.
“Even though what you said sounded quite reasonable, but…” Suddenly a voice came from above. Ambitionist and King of Shadow heard it instantly, it was Feng Bujue’s voice. “…but the ‘answer’ in your statement has a general meaning. But in Ambitionist’s question, he was asking for a more direct answer.” Feng Bujue poked his head out from the side of one of the buildings and joined the conversation, “Therefore… actually you only need to answer him that you are an ‘Anomaly’.”
