Chapter 251: Game of Chance

Chapter 251: Game of Chance



Adam looked at Tobias' corpse and had some conflicting thoughts, but in the end, he had to die.

Corrupted Originals were balance breakers. They were monstrosities, and when left

unchecked, they were greater danger to the New World than any ordinary Chaos being.

Sure, if a level 50 boss appeared in the New World, there would be immense casualties, but in the end, mercenaries would eliminate the threat.

However, corrupted originals were far more dangerous with their ideals.

They were able to create more corrupted originals; thus, when they arrive at the New World, it wouldn't only be one corrupted original that mercenaries needed to worry about. It could be thousands.

Thousands of Tobias.

Because of their ability to corrupt, corrupted originals couldn't be left alive. Click!

A strange click sounded.

Behind Adam, a strange door opened, and laughter echoed from within.

Adam turned his head around, looked at the slightly ajar door, and approached it.

When he stepped inside, he was greeted by a small room, a knee-high table in the middle with a strange creature sitting across the table.

The creature was big-headed with round eyes, short, and had skinny, long limbs like a stick figure.

It was also floating above the ground, as if it were hanging from the ceiling with an invisible rope.

"Ke ke ke!" The creature laughed. "Take a seat across from me, mercenary!"

"I would rather just kill you." Adam threw his greatsword across the room, but before it could hit the creature, it stopped and just hovered in the air.

"I am protected by the powers of reality." The creature said with a cackle. "You can only kill me if you beat me in a game!"

"A game?" Adam pulled the sword back to his hand and sheathed it on his back before taking a

seat across the creature.

He realized what this was.

While most Chaosbeings were killable in ordinary methods, there were some unique

Chaosbeings that needed certain requirements to be filled to be killed.

The creature put down a strange wooden pipe on the table. It almost looked like a flute, and he then put two darts next to it.

One of the darts was green like poison, and the other was black.

"A game of chance," the creature said, and snapped his fingers.

The two darts vanished to a mist and seemingly entered the flute-looking thing.

"Three lives each. Our bodies can handle three doses of poison. We shoot the blowgun after each other until the last one standing wins.

'However, the blowgun will have one more green dart left, and it will definitely hit me. We both have one health, but the next round, it'll probably be the creature's turn to shoot first, and it will most likely make it so that the green dart will be the first dart!

'I would die.

'If I decide to shoot myself first, and it is a black dart, I will definitely win this round. However, if it is green, I'll be in a shitty situation.

'For shooting myself, I'll lose one health. The creature knows what dart will shoot, so if it is green on its turn, I'll only have one health left.

'If the creature doesn't shoot the black dart on its turn, I'll have fifty-fifty chances for either black or green. It's just flipping a coin. If I choose wrong, I would die, and if I choose right, I would only be able to lower the creature's health to one as well.

'Then the next turn will be its turn to start, and I'll just die.'

Adam frowned as he contemplated his next move.

The creature just chuckled like a broken recorder as it seemed to take pleasure in Adam's

troubled expression.

It liked to crush its opponents mentality.

The creature was well aware that Adam must be thinking about how the game was rigged.

Obviously it was rigged.

The creature had been facing many mercenaries before.

Unlike ordinary Chaosbeings, Unique Chaosbeings only have one life. It didn't matter whether

there was respawn crystal nearby.

Thus, if it hadn't rigged the game long ago, it would've been long dead.

It didn't want to die, obviously!

Without Adam knowing it, the creature was hiding its hand and was snapping its fingers. The

color of the dart in the blowgun continued to change.

If Adam decided to shoot himself, it would make the dart green. If he decided to shoot the

creature, it would make the dart black.

It was a loss situation, no matter what!

"Sigh..." Adam just sighed and pointed the blowgun against his temple.

The creature smirked and snapped its fingers.

The dart turned green.

Adam closed his eyes and took a sniff of the air. It was very gentle sniff.

However, he smelled something in the air that made him stop.

'Poison dart...'
