Novel Full Chapter 767: I Think I Fixed Him
I was carried by the two maids to get away from the explosion, both of them running like their lives depended on it.
“Umm… Girls? I could handle that though?” I called out.
Melanin peeked at me, “Young Mistress… That crazy woman broke your arms!”
“Yeah… But I healed it back up, see?” I even waved my hands at her to show her that I was fine.
“That woman was shrugging off everything that you were throwing at her, Young Mistress.”
“Yeah, but that’s not all I could throw at her though? I was even holding back because I didn’t want to kill her…”
“We should still make a plan first, Young Mistress…” Sherry suggested.
Before I could answer her though, a portal ripped open in front of us and that Rex Off-Worlder stepped through it.
Aside from parts of his clothes seemingly burned at the edges, he didn’t even look like he was affected by that gigantic explosion I saw just now.
Then, as if the Off-Worlder was shedding skin, the surface of their body rippled and the woman in front of us transformed into a rather young man with the same annoying smile on his face.
“Yo, where you bouncing off to, fam? You think you can just ghost after unloading that straight up dumpster fire of a flaming hot potato on me? Like bro, you gotta hit pause and deal with this level ninety nine epic plot twist my girl!”
Both Sherry and Melanin turned to look at me, obviously wondering if I understood what this crazy guy was saying.
I managed to slip out of Sherry’s arms to stand on my own feet to face the Off-Worlder, “Is that really how you speak? Can you talk normally?”
“Bruh, normal’s like so last season! Ain’t this a way more epic crossover?! We’re talkin’ next level, extra spicy, four D chess kind of vibes here!”
“You know what, just shut up, I can’t take more of this…”
“Why? You mad bro?”
My answer to that was to shoot a [Static Bolt] at him.
He easily avoided the paralysing shot by moving out of the way which was something I expected anyway and I immediately shot another [Laser] at him.
The brainrot bastard materialised another wall made out of shadows to block my attack, which gave me the chance to move closer to him while the wall obscured his vision.
“Get out of here!” I ordered the two maids as I dashed towards him. “If you want to help, go and tell the others about this guy!”
When the Off-Worlder removed the wall, I was only a few metres away from him and I shot another [Static Bolt] at him, aiming to paralyse him.
He sidestepped the attack again to dodge it and I lunged towards him with my fist pulled back.
The Off-Worlder smirked at me, most likely expecting to be able to catch my punch without any problem once again.
What he didn’t know was that I had stacked three layers of [Strength] and [Body Current] on myself thanks to my Shadow Guards buffing me from my shadow.
Not gonna lie, with that many layers of buffs on me almost made me puke from how uncomfortable it felt but I managed to power through it and punch at him.
Predictably, he was so confident of his strength that he lifted his palm with a casual air to block it.
My fist struck against his palm and…
There was a loud crack before the guy was sent flying up into the air.
I had my Shadow Guards dispel the buffs they put on me before I leapt into the air after him, my wings exploding out of my back and propelling myself towards the airborne idiot.
He had a look of surprise on his face as I neared him, his broken arm hanging limply by his side while he was still flying up.
I reached out my hand and grabbed his neck while he was still stuck in his surprise, using [Static Shock] to paralyse him.
While he was paralysed, I pulled out my Light Sword and channelled my magic into the blade, activating its enchantment.
Without hesitation, I swung the blade downwards and lopped off his left arm.
Adjusting my grip on my weapon, I then swung it in a half circle, bringing the blade back to cup off his legs and his other arm as well.
He was looking at me with wide eyes, as though he couldn’t believe that I would actually cut his arms off.
I made sure to give him the finger before flying up to plant my foot on his face and kicking him back towards the ground.
He shot towards the sand below like a comet and I dove after him, watching as he was frantically looking around and trying to find a way to stop his fall.
It seems like he remembered he could use magic at the last moment before he quickly conjured a gale of wind to slow his descent.
Unfortunately for him, he seemed to have completely forgotten that I was falling towards him in his panic so my foot smashed into his face and I kicked him back down towards the ground.
I watched as his limbless self crashed into the sand with a loud thud, creating another crater.
I tucked my wings and dropped down towards him with my foot outstretched, aiming to land on his face once again.
He looked up just in time to see my foot coming straight down towards him before it smashed into him, the shockwave sending even more sand flying out of the crater and enlarging it.
Not satisfied yet, I had my Shadow Guards buff me once again before I lifted my foot before smashing it back down on his face, this time shattering his teeth and nose with my heel.
I leapt off of him and inspected my handiwork, feeling quite satisfied from seeing the limbless, toothless and broken Off-Worlder in laying on the sand.
Just as I was thinking about going over to tie him up, an uncapped bottle of red liquid suddenly appeared through a portal above his mouth to empty its contents into him.
He swallowed quickly and his body was suddenly healed back to perfect health, undoing everything I had done to him earlier.
The Off-Worlder leapt onto his feet and glared at me, “How?”
I suppressed my disappointment at seeing him restored back to normal instead of the ‘improved’ form I had given him.
“How what?” I asked, faking confusion.
“How are you able to hurt me? I can see your strength stat! It’s at five hundred and fifty!”
I tilted my head at him, “Oh, looks like I managed to cure your brainrot. I guess that’s an improvement at least.”
“Answer the question you bitch,” He seethed.
Seems like his brainrot speech was all just an act huh? Maybe it was his way of making people drop their guard or he’s just a stupid chuuni who thought that talking like that was cool.
I raised my chin at him, “What’s so weird about it? I can see that your strength stat is at two hundred and fifty. By all means, I should have been kicking your ass from the very start. In fact, you’re even using magic skills that aren’t reflected in your status screen.”
“Then why are you going against me? Aren’t you doing the same thing?”
“What does that have to do with anything? Are you thinking that hiding my stats makes me the same as you?”
He blinked, “Hiding my stats? What are you talking about?”
“That’s what you’re doing right? You hid your real stats to make people think you’re weak. Your actual strength stat is higher than the number I just said.”
He furrowed his brow, “I am not hiding my stats you bitch. Are you still going to pretend like you don’t know what’s going on? You’re doing the same thing as I am to strengthen yourself! Wait! That’s it isn’t it?! You want my followers too!”
Now it was my turn to be confused, “Your followers? Why the hell would I want that?”
“Why else are you attacking me! I already overheard that you’re hunting me down so what else could it be for?! You’re trying to claim my batteries for yourself to empower yourself, right?! I’ll have you know that I’ve worked hard to gather that many people so you can dream on if you think I’m going to just hand it over!”
“I literally have no idea what the hell you’re talking about right now.”
He stared at me for a good long minute before pointing to the bracelet on his arm, “Is this not what you are after?”
I narrowed my eyes and used [Screened] on the bracelet.
[Bangle of Envious Greed – Allows wearer to draw power from all beares of the Mask of Envious Greed including strength and skills to add onto their own. Also allows wearer to possess their consciousness at will and control them as puppets.]
…
Now everything makes sense.
