Chapter 392: Battle of Patience - Part 6

’These Red Knights are strong!’

Fang Raon thought.

The stream camera of his was floating right behind him, and his stream also had no other choice than to admire Red Knight’s strength.

Rasmus, who was one of the former members of Dead Redemption, was widely considered as one of the strongest players in the game.

Yet.

Red Knights were completely bullying him!

"They’re my bodyguards."

Xiao Yue said to Fang Raon and looked at him with her long eyelashes and saw his look that said he was quite impressed.

"If you join my guild, you’ll be under their protection as well."

"...Very tempting, but I already gave my answer."

Fang Raon wryly smiled.

In reality, he didn’t want to be under anyone’s protection. He wanted to become strong enough to protect himself.

But there was obviously still quite a long way to go.

"If you had these Red Knights with you all along, why didn’t you go to find Devon with them? Instead, you were all alone."

Fang Raon asked.

"It was something I needed to do alone. I wanted revenge for my sister with my own hands. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been satisfied."

Xiao Yue said.

Graham walked through the forest and saw Rasmus climbing back to his feet, wiping the blood from his face.

It looked like he could barely stand on his feet anymore.

"The fight is over."

Graham said.

"...Who are you to say that? The fight is over when I say it is over. I am Rasmus motherfucking Seider; remember this name."

Rasmus said coldly.

In that moment, the flesh around his arms also ripped open, and blood tendrils shot out of his arms.

"You’re trying that still? It doesn’t work."

Graham said.

"...Just watch."

Rasmus said coldly, and instead of attacking them, the blood tendrils suddenly stabbed Rasmus in the chest!

The blood tendrils started sucking all of his blood instead!

"What the... hell?"

Graham frowned and turned around and shouted, "Young Princess, you should see this!" and everyone walked over.

They came across the sight of the blood tendrils sucking all of Rasmus’ blood.

"What is he doing?"

Fang Raon asked.

"...Self Blood Drain. He is draining his own health to increase his power."

Xiao Yue said with a dark look.

[HP: 5967/10000]

[HP: 5134/10000]

[HP: 3444/10000]

[HP: 2111/10000]

Rasmus’ muscles ballooned. It was like he had taken a potion that tripled his size. His pecs were now so massive that they ripped through his chest.

A hulking man!

"Be careful!"

Xiao Yue shouted.

"I got this."

Graham said, and he swung the sword, and it cut into Rasmus’ waist—however, it only cut a shallow wound.

The muscles on Rasmus’ body were too thick for his blade to penetrate deep enough!

"Die, ant."

Rasmus’ voice had also turned deep.

He punched Graham in the chest. Luckily it was protected by the red chestplate. Yet, the punch still made a large dent.

And Graham was sent sliding backwards, and all the air was knocked out of his lungs, as if he had been hit by a truck.

"What..."

Graham asked, struggling to catch his breath.

Red Knights, fearlessly, attacked him and caused shallow wounds all around Rasmus’ muscular body.

Yet.

It looked like he had just been scratched a lot by a cat or a woman with long nails—none of the attacks were lethal.

Rasmus spread his arms wide, and then he clapped his hands together, and a shockwave spread across the whole forest.

The trees got knocked over. Red Knights flew backwards. Yue and Raon were sent flying through the air.

"Hahahahaha!"

Rasmus’ laughter was ugly. Like a laugh of a titan. It wasn’t nice to listen to, and his smiling face was especially ugly.

"I will... deal with all of you shortly."

Rasmus turned towards the city in the distance, and then he started running, and more he ran, the faster he became.

"He is going for the city! Stop him!"

Xiao Yue shouted.

Graham used Skydance—he flew through the air—he caught Rasmus almost instantly, and he swung the blade across his back.

It left a shallow wound on his back, but it did nothing to slow Rasmus down.

At that moment, Rasmus took out the Orb of the Doomsday, and he whispered some words to it quickly.

Then, the Orb of the Doomsday flew high to the sky and surrounded the whole city in a large bubble.

An announcement appeared in front of every player in the city. A chilling announcement that none of them wanted to see.

[Safe Zone has been disabled!]

Inside a player-owned tavern, a brown-haired player looked at the message with a white face, his hands shaking.

"Safe Zone is disabled? Why the hell?!"

He wasn’t a fighter. He was just an ordinary worker and created this tavern to have a business in a safe place.

It wasn’t doing greatly, but it still made enough money for him to get by, and his wife was pregnant with their first child.

If he died, it would take him months to get back to the 18th floor!

The panic spread across the players.

"Safe Zone can only get disabled by a player! Who is the madman that did this shit?!"

"...I need to get the hell out of here, but damn, I don’t have any Tower Pearls with him right now!"

"...I am out of here!"

The players, who had Tower Pearls, tried to use them to teleport away, but then they got another message that they were currently inside a Combat Zone.

"...Combat Zone? What!"

They didn’t know that this was the doing of the Orb of the Doomsday—it didn’t only remove the Safe Zone.

It would also put the area inside the Orb of the Doomsday into a Combat Zone, making it impossible for anyone to log out and teleport away.

They were trapped!

BOOOOM~!

At that moment.

A massive figure tackled through the city wall. He was over three meters tall, filled with muscles that almost swallowed him whole, and he had an evil grin on his face.

It was Rasmus Seider!

"AN INTRUDER!"

The local guards pointed their bows and swords at him, but they were all scared, as he seemed like a prehistoric demon!

"Hello, blood bags."

Rasmus grinned.
