Thriller Paradise

Chapter 422: 422

On the other side of the city, Ambitionist and King of Shadow were heading towards the Blast Tunnel. Naturally, they did not trust each other implicitly, therefore, they kept a distance of 10 meters before them, just in case.

“By the way… it sure is easy for you…” Ambitionist who was running ahead, gave King of Shadow who was sitting on the Blood Golem’s shoulder a side-eye. “In a scenario like this, you only need to summon your creature at the start and then you can let him do all the work for you later, you don’t even need to walk anymore…”

“Hmm?” King of Shadow gave Ambitionist a glance back. “Even if you look at me with such sincerity, I am not going to offer you a ride…”

“Hah…” Ambitionist pushed on his glasses and mumbled, “Changing the subject huh…” Ambitionist gave that comment as a test. He did not intend to hitch a ride on the Blood Golem, he wanted to get some inform from King of Shadow’s reply like the control mechanism of the Blood Golem, how long it would last and whether it would continue to exhaust him after being summoned. But as clever as he was, King of Shadow was not dumb. He deflected the probe with a joke.

As they spoke, suddenly… the Blood Golem halted and roared down the front.

“What’s happening?” Ambitionist saw this and stopped. He turned around to ask.

“I don’t know… this hasn’t happened before…” King of Shadow turned alert, he did not order for the Blood Golem to stop. Kat ta kat ta… Another strange noise. A bulge started to appear on the street before them.

“A monster?” Ambitionist somersaulted backwards and leaped onto the signpost of a nearby store. King of Shadow also controlled the Blood Golem and retreated. He carefully jumped down from the golem’s shoulder back to the ground. Even though King of Shadow’s regenerative power was unrivalled among the top 50, after the incident with Mr. Freeze, he did not dare to underestimate any NPC or monster anymore…

“Interesting creature…” The bulge grew bigger and slowly assumed the shape of a human. ‘It’ used a low voice to say, “A virtual life made from blood and dust, with no intellect and self-conscious; even the most basic five senses is shared through another organism…” The speaker soon revealed himself. He was 4 metres tall with blue skin and white hair; the muscle under the armor was sculpted. The white hair pulled into a lasso behind him like a dragon’s tail. “But… an organism like that, managed to detect my presence with its instinct.” When the Observer spoke, he scanned King of Shadow and Ambitionist with derision. “And you two organisms who think you are better than everything else, who harbour their own secret reacted so bluntly and hopelessly…”

“This thing…” Ambitionist’s eyes beneath the glasses had hardened. “Is very powerful…” He raised his voice to tell King of Shadow. “Be careful! This thing is more powerful than any normal boss…”

“Pegasasu Ryūsei Ken!” Suddenly with a roar that shouted out the name of the skill, a figure leaped into this battle that honestly had not even started yet. Then, a man in red spandex and white mantle dropped down from the sky. His arms delivered multiple white punches at the Observer, they were like meteors, falling from the sky.

[it’s over now… A huge idiot has arrived to ruin everything…] Ambitionist thought when he saw the new arrival. The Observer merely tilted his head to the side and saw the player who came after him from behind. He scoffed. “Such presumptuousness…” He did not evade at all and allowed the rain like punches to fall on him, they did not look like they inflicted any damage…

Several minutes later, the newcomer landed and assumed a ‘cool-looking’ battle pose and used a youthful and passionate voice to shout, “Evil giant! Be prepared to be punished by the power of justice!”

“Erm… Are you…” King of Shadow had skimmed through the information of the other finalists, he had impression of this bushy-browed face.

“yes, I am the hero of justice!” The man replied as he changed into different poses. “Pegasus Jump Force!” With each word, he changed his pose…

[He managed to show off all the poses of the five members of the task force in less than 5 seconds…] Ambitionist groaned internally. [Compared to the last time I’ve seen him, his idiocy level has only increased it seems…]

“Erm…” In many ways, King of Shadow was confounded by this man. “I say… Brother Pegasus… Even though it’s not my place to say this… but I still need to remind you, in this scenario, we players are supposed to be competitors and… you shouldn’t have jumped out to help us.”

“Ha! Ha ha ha ha…” Pegasus laughed loudly. He closed his eyes gloatingly, titled his head, then extended his right arm, raised his index finger to wag at King of Shadow. “Hmph… Civilian… Heroes will not mind such minor details.”

“Idiots will not listen to your advise…” Ambitionist’s expression was similar to the first time when he saw his girlfriend without make up.

“Even if you treat me coldly or talk behind my back, I will rescue you from this evil creature, because why? Because I am a hero!” Pegasus then then around and pointed his finger passionately at the Observer. “Evil doer! You manage to defend against my super high speed punches that are faster than the speed of light, looks like you’re not a common villain!”

“Honestly, if I want to kill you…” The Observer said coldly, “You wouldn’t have time to stand there and waste my time with so much nonsense…” He paused. “Furthermore… are you sure you understand how fast the speed of light is?”

“Pegasasu Ryūsei Ken!” With another roar, Pegasus used his skill again. The same skill used on the same enemy, obviously… would lead to the same result.

“You bunch of travellers from another world has battle and war wired in your make-up… It is truly mind-boggling.” The Observer commented. “You treated me as an enemy merely because I chose to appear before you.” He grimaced. “But why would you make that assumption? Is it purely because of appearance? Looks like your race… has an innate prejudice and disgust among those races that do not fit into your concept of acceptable beauty.” He paused. “But from my perspective… I really can’t tell where this sense of entitlement come from.” His derision turned into condescension.

“Erm… you…” After hearing that, Pegasus slowly knelt down with a face filled with shock. “So… it was all a misunderstanding… I was being too shallow for basing everything on appearances?!”

“I think the word ‘shallow’ is not that suitable here…” Ambitionist chided.

“I get it now!” Pegasus suddenly jumped up as if an epiphany had hit him. “So… you two are the real evil doers!” He pointed at the two players. “It is due to your trick that I have assaulted the kind ugly people with my fists!”

“Even though you have suddenly sided with me, but…” The Observer looked more helpless than before. “I have to be clear, I am not kind and even among my own race, I am not considered ugly…”

“The fire of justice is burning! I will never forgive you for this deceit!” Pegasus completely ignored the Observer as he strode towards the two players.

“So the player at rank 20 is a person that suffers from a serious case of Sophomore Syndrome?” King of Shadow said darkly. “By the way… his outfit appears to be the ‘Saint Seiya Costume’ from the market… And his Id is ‘Pegasus’ and the skill he used is indeed Pegasasu Ryūsei Ken… Erm… Don’t tell me he purposely go and buy that skill to match his character…” The more he thought about it, the more he believed it to be true. Pegasus before him was definitely cosplaying a certain character, I mean he even had the same hairstyle.

“Don’t be careless, King of Shadow.” Ambitionist said to remind him. “The man did not get on the combat stat ranking for no reason…” He readied his bow to prepare for the enemy. “After the two most difficult types of person to deal with in this world are madmen and ‘beep’.”

King of Shadow got it even through the censor and replied, “Yes… because they are the most unpredictable.”
