Chapter 634 - The Dark Emissary of Flame!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Bang!

The molotov cocktail struck the ceiling and broke.

Fire spread across the ceiling and fell onto the floor as if Taishang Laojun1‘s alchemy furnace had been toppled.

Long Shenjue, the “God of Fire”, was the first victim. He ran down the stairs while he was on fire, screaming.

GodV was the innocent victim. He had nearly turned into a ‘roast suckling pig’…

“F*ck! Where did you aim, you w*nker?”

“That’s impossible! I threw the bottle up the stairs!”

“Then what’s this all over my body?”

“Er… I can explain…”

“Explain my ass!”

Fortunately, the molotov cocktail in the tournament patch did not have its damage buffed. They quickly retreated, and they managed to survive…

In the meantime, the live audience and live stream viewers nearly had their eyes pop out of their sockets as they watched the two players. The two had lost health rapidly as they ran away from the fire.

On Hua Xia’s commentary platform.

“This… um… What can be said about Long Shenjue?”

Lord Rong returned to his senses. His mouth had been open for half a day. He sighed and then spoke, “Well… Let’s have Boss Su say a few words…”

Su Changming: …

‘What the hell am I supposed to say?’

Unexpectedly at this time, Ruo Feng blurted something out after having been in deep thought for a while. “If I’m not mistaken… that was an ancient pact.”

“Pact?” Su Changming and Lord Rong turned to look in bemusement at Ruo Feng.

Then, Ruo Feng’s face suddenly turned serious. He chanted, “O he who is engulfed in dark flame! Bind your soul to me, the Emissary of Dark Flame!”

Su Changming: ???

Lord Rong: ????

“Ahahaha…” Ruo Feng suddenly smiled. “I was just joking to release the tension in the atmosphere.”

The other two commentators twitched when they heard Ruo Feng say that… ‘release the tension my ass, it’s almost freezing in here!’

The live stream viewers of the Chinese streaming platforms laughed out loud when they heard his comment!

“Of course you were just joking! You’re none other than Chuunibyou1! The God of Awkward Situations! The Prodigy of Tense Atmospheres!”

“Guru Long was showing off his firebending skills! That’s the legendary ‘Asia’s Second Commander’ for you!”

“I think it’s fine… it’s an exhibition match anyway, so long as everyone’s happy!”

“Bahaha… why do I feel like laughing the more I listen to you speak?”

“LOLOL luckily GodV didn’t get burned to death. Otherwise, I bet he’ll cry if he becomes a blood sacrifice yet again!”

“Wei-chan: This is a setup, right? You’re setting me up, right?”

“Don’t worry Wei-chan! If you think you’re being set up, just blink to the camera and we’ll get someone to rescue you.”

“…”

The atmosphere was cheerful among the live audience and live stream channels.

On the other hand, Liu Zilang and Misaka Mikoto were hugging their guns and crouching on the third floor, grimly waiting for their opponents to arrive. They were confused when they heard chaotic footsteps come from below them!

The next moment, seeing that no one was coming upstairs, Misaka Mikoto spoke softly, “Shifu, I…”

“Shh!” Liu Zilang spoke in a serious tone, “Beware of tricks!”

“Oh, oh!” Misaka Mikoto nodded her head urgently.

In the meantime, Long Shenjue and GodV, who had only searched through two floors’ worth of loot, were well-equipped with weapons and protective gear. However, they had not managed to find enough consumables. Between them, they only had five bandages and an energy drink.

They had thought that the encounter would be a quick affair. It was either they managed to kill their enemy, or died in a blaze of glory. Nevertheless, they thought they would not need too many recovery items.

They had not expected a fire to break out in their own backyard. What more for the rare once-in-a-century ‘god of fire’ to appear…

GodV used two bandages and drank the energy drink as he choked on his tears. His health level only reached a third of its maximum.

As for Long Shenjue who had used three bandages, the effects of the recovery items were immediately seen. However, he only had less than half of his health left.

Under such circumstances, if they were to continue with their original plan of storming the building, it would most likely mean that they would be leaving their seats soon.

Therefore, while Liu Zilang and Misaka Mikoto were crouched on the floor in wait, the two people downstairs quietly snuck away from the building…

Liu Zilang may have been a tactical genius, but he did not expect his opponents to light themselves on fire!

At that time, his opinion was that there had to be something fishy going on downstairs!

‘Hmph!

‘They must be naive to think that I’ll fall for it!’

After a short while, Liu Zilang gestured to Misaka Mikoto. “Let’s not waste any more time here. Let’s go get a room.”

“Get a room?” Misaka Mikoto asked dumbfoundedly, however, she quickly understood what he meant.

After that, the two of them quietly sneaked away from the corridor, similar to how GodV and Long Shenjue had quietly snuck away earlier.

Upon witnessing this intriguing scene, many members of the audience who were waiting for 4AM’s ‘civil war’ to erupt, looked at each other in bemusement.

‘What the heck are you up to?’

In the match, Liu Zilang and Misaka Mikoto climbed up to the fourth-floor balcony. He opened the door from the inside and then climbed up the wooden planks that straddled between the balconies of the two buildings.

After that, he hopped on top of the open door from the balcony. His hands had found the ledge to the rooftop, and he pulled himself onto it.

Misaka Mikoto’s eyes were gleaming as she watched him do this. Very quickly, she imitated his movements.

“Shifu, Shifu! What are we doing now?”

“Get down.”

“Get down?”

“It’s fun time now.”

While Liu Zilang was speaking, he swapped to his Win94 in his hands.

He crawled to the edge of the rooftop, and he aimed his at the row of houses near the Casino. Misaka Mikoto, with her M4, swiftly moved into position next to him.

Liu Zilang kept watch of the Casino and the blue hotel building in front of him. On the other hand, Misaka Mikoto was in charge of keeping an eye on the boxing arena behind them.

With them occupying the central point of Pecado, they felt as if they were in control of the entire town…

A short while later, Liu Zilang had found his prey in a two-story house west of the casino.

He carefully adjusted the crosshair of his Win94, like a ‘veteran enthusiast’ adjusting his camera to take voyeuristic photos, and silently aimed at the person looting in the room. That person was fully visible through the window.

This scene undoubtedly had a very important lesson.

When you are a thief in someone else’s room, or you are doing something else there, it is very important to draw the curtains.

Bang!

The unique sound of the Win94 rang out!

A sniper bullet shattered the second-floor window of that house, and glass fell in bits to the ground.

More important than the glass was the health bar of the person who had been shot. It had immediately dropped to nothing!

However, that person did not fall to the floor!

The effect of a Win94 shooting a level two helmet was the same as an M24 shooting a level three helmet. It dealt 99 damage per headshot!

That person had survived with a sliver of health left.

Even so, the person, a popular Twitch streamer whose nickname was DrDisrespect, became flustered!

He stuck his shades-sporting head out the northern window and then immediately shrunk back behind the wall.
