Chapter 71: Participant Killers
It got updated? Is this some sort of data gathering and functioning skill? This is the first time I heard about this.
But since the weakness of the Basilisk is updated and the weakness includes the method I used last time, I decided to just kill the basilisk in one go. Hurling two fireballs in two hands, I throw them to the two basilisk who are still oblivious about what was going to happen to them.
When their snake tails saw the fireballs, they acted too late and they were hit by them. Remember that my flames can burn many things to ashes, the Basilisk was immediately fried by the flames. What was good is that the Basilisk has a little bit of resistance to flames allowing them to survive the flames coming from my gloves. And with that, I managed to get 200 points once more.
I know I am no longer occupying the spot when I started out because I am not that active in hunting but the amount of points I earned is not to be scoffed at so I am a little bit fine on it.
I made sure there are no more basilisk around and after securing the perimeter, I took the fried basilisk and returned to my camp. Just when I was about to arrive, a flame arrow suddenly shot out from nowhere and narrowly missed my cheek.
Activating the Mana Scan, I was surprised to see 20 people surrounding me. Each of them has weapons and some had prepared magic skills like the flame arrow earlier. I was forced to drop the basilisks to the ground. I need to take care of them.
Due to the situation, I decided to take out the nearest enemy without hesitation. The slight hesitation I will make will also result in another grave situation. I learned a lot about the battle against the demons and leaving them like this will only bite you back in the future.
Unleashing the flames in my hands and bursting the flames in my shoes, I was sent flying straight to the target on my sight and grab the head of the assaulting guy.
He didn't expect his cover to get blown immediately but I made sure he won't be able to move. When I glance at him, his weakness is also revealed which is something else.
"Participant Killer #7" lv. 19
Weakness: Hit on the balls, fatal kick in the crotch, slow reaction time…
The weaknesses to exploit goes on and on. However, I am not really interested in what his weaknesses are. The way the name of this guy printed in my eyes as Participant Killer makes me frown. This guy is one of those rumored killers of participants? And what is more, I counted 20 of them!
Since one of his weaknesses is his reaction time, I decided to exploit it in my own way. As expected, when I appeared before him, he didn't get to react immediately. The others though already reacted and started throwing their spells at me to prevent the number 7th to get beaten. However, I am not a guy who never thinks away.
Grabbing the 7th, I quickly moved behind him and forced him to stand in front of me, blocking all the incoming attacks. He screamed in horror before he was assaulted with different spells and attacks. He didn't get to have a second chance as he died from the attack.
Although I didn't kill him directly, I think this is counted as my kill since I pushed him to his own death. I am a bit terrified from the thought of killing someone but if I didn't do it, I will be killed instead. But f*ck this, I have no choice and killing that guy is the only way. What is worse is that I have 19 more guys to eliminate.
I never killed before except if you count the fatalities that I did when killing demons otherwise, I never killed anyone. I am still someone who don't kill without any reason but if they are forcing me into this situation, I have no choice but to kill.
"F*ck! He killed him! We can't let him get away with this!" A guy with a bandana and crossbow shouted as he pointed at me.
The others are still hidden but I already glanced at them and their weaknesses were all revealed before my eyes. I calmed down already and if they are willing to kill, I will also kill, though I will be doing it unwillingly.
With the help of my shoes, I managed to move with good speed. The flame arrows that one of the enemies released did not hit me at all. Of course, I am barely able to dodge them all because they are shot out so fast that it is hard for me to escape.
Clasping my hands together, I started channeling my mana and cast the Ice magic I learned spontaneously last time I was about to enter a GATE. From what I can remember, it's called Freezing Wind.
When I released my hands out, the whole surroundings clearly dropped its temperature that even the leaves and droplets from the trees and bushes froze.
The hidden guys were wearing light clothes and are not heavily wearing clothes meant for a cold environment. When the sudden cold temperature started to spread, they cannot endure the cold at all and they are forced to go out of their hiding places.
"F*ck! What is going on! Why did it turned colder!?"
"Damn! I almost froze my balls out there! I thought this is a tropical forest?!"
The men started complaining. I grinned from this before I released a fireball to the first guy I saw.
"Heat up your balls with this then!"
BANG!
The flames were fatal if they are not highly resistant to flames. When the guy was hit, his skin started burning that he started to roll on the ground screaming.
"Aaaaaaahhhhh!"
The others ready their weapons but due to the cold, they didn't respond any better. They want to mess with me? Then I will start messing with you all by roasting your balls.
