Chapter 41 – Kill Me Please! Can I Commit Suicide? Part1

Liam smirked. A dozen close combat players were rushing towards him from all directions holding all different types of weapons.

"Well… There is no going back now." He took a deep breath and side-stepped, nimbly bending his body at an angle that dodged five attacks at the same time.

A couple of fireballs hit his body but they only graced his skin as he moved again and avoided the brunt of the attack.

"What?"

"Where is he?"

Liam's figure was a complete blur and no one could even see him move, let alone figure out his movement patterns.

To make matters worse, because of the realistic nature of the game, the various attacks did not differentiate between friend and foe.

The ice shards and fireballs which did not land on Liam landed on the other group members standing nearby and hit them instead.

Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang.

Three men suffered instant lethal hits and fell back, their bodies dead and lifeless. A bright glow enveloped them before they completely turned into dust and dispersed into the wind.

"What the fuck?"

"Damn it. Aim properly, idiots! IDIOTS!" Jin Wei screamed in fury. Nothing was going his way and this damned game also wasn't making things easy.

"Heh. You should have really taken some time to understand the game first." Liam chuckled, only his voice ringing loudly in the sudden silence.

It hadn't been that long since the game started, so they hadn't yet figured out this crucial detail and the sudden development took everyone by surprise.

Moreover, the group wasn't coordinated enough to recover from this instantly and their movements visibly slowed down.

"Don't get too cocky motherfucker. This fight is not over. You are celebrating too soon. You are not getting out of here alive today."

"Only three of us died. There are still more than enough of us to deal with a loser like you. Ptui!" Jin Wei spat out.

He had only barely finished talking when a figure appeared in front of him.

"Mmm… celebrating? On the contrary, I am not happy at all. I would have actually preferred that those three didn't die so easily." Liam muttered.

Huh? What the hell is he blabbering about? Wondering about the meaning behind his words, Jin Wei snarled and jabbed at the hateful person.

This time, surprisingly Liam did not move back and evade his attack. Instead, his body spun and his fist thrust forward.

Bam!

Jin Wei froze, his entire body trembling. He couldn't move even if he wanted to. All of a sudden, he felt as if the strength in his body had completely disappeared.

He looked down with a dumbfounded expression on his face as a pang of torturous pain spread from his lower abdomen.

Liam's hand was still holding him steadfastly. His hand held his intestines, twisting his insides within the grasp of his palm.

Ahhh! Ahhhhh! Ahhhhhhh!

He screamed with unbearable pain. At this moment, he had no idea what was even going on. There was only one single thought in his head and that was…

'Why the fuck am I not dead yet?'

His eyes almost popped out of his eye sockets as he continued screaming in pain. He desperately looked at his health bar but it was dropping rather slowly.

Ahhh! Jin Wei cursed his bad luck. He even began wishing that his own teammates would kill him off with random attacks, but the damned jerks were targeting only the villain in front of him.

'Just how much health does he have?'

Just as the thought entered his mind, Liam's other hand moved and a shiny small glass bottle appeared in his hand.

Glug Glug Glug

To Jin Wei's dismay, the person even casually lifted this glass bottle and gulped it all down, the empty bottle promptly tossed back into the inventory.

'That was a health potion? Wait, did he just save an empty glass bottle in the midst of a life and death battle?' He didn't know which to be more shocked about.

He didn't even know if he had gone completely crazy from the pain that he was thinking about such useless things.

In reality, though the moment felt like an eternity to Jin Wei, everything happened in a fraction of a second.

This coupled with the effects of the health potion, Liam was easily able to maintain his condition, and taking a couple of attacks wasn't an issue for him.

As he calmly stood, Jin Wei's face further paled and the next second, he heard a distinct crunch sound coming from his body, and the pain he was suffering through increased one hundredfold.

Arrghhh! Ahhh! Ahh!

He screamed again and everyone else surrounding them including Berat subconsciously shuddered.

Though they were not sure what was going on, they could all see that something was wrong here. Zemin immediately decided to intervene and aimed his next attack at Jin Wei instead.

His reddened eyes noticed this and a faint ray of hope flickered in the midst of this misery. This was finally going to be over soon…

'I need to first find the damn pain settings for this game…'

Jin Wei closed his eyes, gritting his teeth in pain, but before the fireball could hit him, another notification popped up in front of him.

[Ding. Your mana meridians have been permanently damaged]

[Ding. Your mana is now 0]

'What…?' Jin Wei's gaze, filled with utter dread and fear, shifted to look at Liam one last time before he as well dropped dead onto the ground.
