Chapter 177: Battle "This is...what's going on...
"What... is going on?" Looking at the friends on the screen falling to the ground at the same time, Sawada Tsunayoshi was a little panicked.
"Just now, all the guardians were injected with the poison hidden in the watch." Cerbero's tone was flat, like an emotionless robot.
"Poison? What kind of poison?" Upon hearing this, the player grabbed Shamar, who everyone except the players could barely call a doctor, and rushed over. "Shamar, listen carefully! It's time for you to play your part!"
"First...let go of my collar!" Xia Maer rolled his eyes and seemed to be about to suffocate.
"Oh oh." The player loosened his sinful claws.
"This poison, called the Death Oven, can instantly paralyze a person's nerves. After knocking them unconscious, intense heat and pain ensue, gradually burning their body and mind."
Ignoring the minor commotion caused by Sawada Tsunayoshi's group, Cerbero continued, "Within thirty minutes, if you don't get the antidote, you'll die."
"Death...?" Sawada Tsunayoshi shouted, completely unable to accept this outcome. "Why are you doing this? This is clearly between me and Xanxus..."
Sawada Tsunayoshi was still struggling with Cerberus and the others, while the player was checking his condition through the small props placed on his apprentice.
"Indeed, Yamamoto Takeshi now has an extra buff..."
In this large swimming pool, seemingly specially designed for the Guardian of Rain, the player switched perspectives several times before finally seeing the face of the apprentice, who had collapsed from the poison's erosion. If it weren't for the large rocks in the pool providing support, he would have died before the poison erupted.
[Death Furnace Buff: A paralyzing poison powerful enough to instantly knock out an elephant. The longer it's exposed, the stronger its effects become. Without an antidote, a young person can only withstand it for thirty minutes at most.]
"The information given by Cher Radish is correct. It's poison, but a normal person can only last for thirty minutes at most." The player looked at Reborn who came over at some point and nodded.
"Even you, there is no way?" Reborn asked.
"You can try food supplements, potions, and some items. But without any poison to test with, I can't guarantee that these methods will be effective for them." The player frowned, a rare occurrence. "Items that can cure everything directly can certainly do that, but..."
The player held up six fingers, feeling helpless about his lack of energy. "For six people, we need six cards! I don't have any left!"
Damn it! Why aren't players the type of woman who gets SSRs nine out of ten times and a UR one out of ten?
Players need this kind of lucky gaming experience that makes them look like paying gold players!
The item used to treat the Ninth Hokage was indeed extremely rare—and it was a disposable item that could only be used by one person.
Judging from the girl's reaction, Aurora only has one more item like this in her hand.
Reborn made this judgment.
At the same time, the brief conversation between Sawada Tsunayoshi and Cerbero was coming to an end.
"What are you waiting for? Let's start!" said Tsunayoshi Sawada.
There is no time to lose, the antidote must be obtained within thirty minutes!
"Attention, after the battle is declared started, no one can interfere from the outside." The person Cherbero was looking at was obviously Reborn. "The same applies to special ammunition."
Seeing the black-haired boy readily agree, Cerberus took a step back and said in unison, "Well, then, I declare that the battle for the Grand Sky Ring is now..."
Before the pink-haired woman could finish her words, a ball of fire shot towards Sawada Tsunayoshi.
"What?!" Tsunayoshi Sawada, who was not prepared yet, looked at the fire in a daze, and was then knocked into the wall by it.
"Actually! Lord Tsunayoshi!" Bajir shouted worriedly towards the direction of the ruins.
"Lord Xanxus..." Cerbero seemed to have not expected this to happen. He wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xanxus' words.
"He said he wanted to start quickly, so you can't blame me." The young man in a black suit and coat forced a cruel smile.
"Wow, a sneak attack?!" Seeing the disdainful smile on the face of the black-haired young man with small feathers on his body, the player curled his lips, snapped his fingers, and retracted the weapons beside Sawada Tsunayoshi. "Luckily, I was thinking three steps ahead and anticipated your move."
"What?" xanxus was slightly stunned.
But he soon understood what the woman meant.
As the mist dissipated, Tsunayoshi Sawada walked out intact with a bright, clear flame on his forehead - in that instant, not only did the player's sword and shield block Xanxus's fire attack, but the death bullet from Reborn also hit Tsunayoshi Sawada.
"I know what you're going to say, but hold on." The player stopped Cheryl and gave a sly smile. "You were the ones who said we can't interfere after the start."
"Up to now, you haven't said start yet." The player looked innocent and spread his hands.
Reborn stood on his unique mobility scooter, also showing an innocent expression.
"This..." Cerberus exchanged glances and nodded, "In that case, after all those not involved in this battle leave, the competition will officially begin!"
…
…
Therefore, players who were also unrelated personnel were also locked in a cage made of infrared coils.
"He's actually been locked in a cage. Is it because there's no one else around the man with feathers? So it's okay to get this kind of differential treatment?" The player sat on the chair, propped up his chin, and complained quietly.
"Hey..., when did this chair appear?" Xia Maer sat on the ground without any image, rubbing his neck which had a red mark from pulling.
"Please watch your words. We will record your every word and action." The Cherberos standing nearby said coldly.
The player who was chirping quietly but was heard by others: "..."
The player covered his face in embarrassment.
At this moment, a loud noise attracted the players' attention. The players looked up and looked at the huge screen in front of everyone.
"It's the flame of wrath," said Reborn.
"Flame of Wrath?" The player raised an eyebrow, remembering the special symbol on the character panel, and asked, "As the leader of the organization called Varian, he should also be the Flame of the Great Sky."
"Special flame? Or has the flame mutated?"
"Ah, you're right." Reborn nodded and looked at "Unlike your and Tsuna's flames, Xanxus's flame is a rare light ball-shaped flame. The characteristic of this flame is its extremely powerful destructive power."
"The second generation leader of the Vongola also had this kind of flame." Reborn said, "And because he only displayed this kind of flame when he was angry, the name of this flame is..."
"Flame of Wrath." Basil took over Reborn's words, and looked at Sawada Tsunayoshi who was knocked away by Xanxus's punch after his attack failed, his face full of worry.
His Majesty Tsunayoshi...
At this time, xanxus, who had the upper hand, stood up straight and began to mock the weapons in Sawada Tsunayoshi's hands, and in the process, mentioned a man.
"The first Vongola leader..." The player tightly grasped the well-hidden pocket watch hanging around his neck - just after Xanxus mentioned the man who founded Vongola, the gold pocket watch containing Elena suddenly moved slightly.
Elena..., the pocket watch's cooldown hasn't ended yet, so it's not time to come out yet...
The player touched the surface of the pocket watch, hoping to convey this feeling to Elena's ears.
The black-haired girl's movements were covert and were hardly noticed by anyone. Only the killer with the highest sensitivity noticed this unusual thing.
This reaction...
Reborn was thoughtful, remembering what the ninth generation had said. He glanced at the silent black-haired girl inconspicuously.
"Such a powerful flame, what is this?" Bagir's exclamation made several people who were thinking raise their heads.
"A gun, a pistol, a modified flame pistol." The player, with keen eyes and ears, successfully locked onto the new object in the young man's hand in the dusty battlefield. "The man named Xanxus has taken out his weapon."
"Double guns..." The player thought of a former killer, now a cuckoo spirit, whose weapons were also dual guns.
Two weeks later, I wonder if players can see the ending of Oda Sakunosuke's novel after the copy is completed.
The player, who didn't feel like he was dreaming at all, expressed such a fantasy.
"The seventh-generation leader of the Vongola family also used a gun as his weapon. The second-generation's flames combined with the seventh-generation's weapons..." Reborn's expression became serious. "Xanxus, this is truly not simple. This is not good."
"It's even worse." The player looked at the infrared cage that trapped him and clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction.
If it weren't for the fact that stepping out would immediately count as victory for the guy who always says the word "trash", the players would never be so obedient and abide by the rules and sit here motionless.
"That direction... is the stadium!" Xia Maer, who was the first to react, broke out in a cold sweat. "Such a powerful flame, if it hits directly, wouldn't it be...!"
"What?" the fanged boy asked impatiently, subconsciously calling the purple-haired girl's name and trying to walk out.
"Calm down, young man. It's not a big problem for now." The player held his sword in front of the yellow-haired boy. "I know you're worried about Chrom, but Tsunayoshi-kun is unusually calm in this state. He has already made the most appropriate choice for him."
As expected, Sawada Tsunayoshi chose to take the blow from Xanxus head-on and twisted the angle of Xanxus's flames, only damaging the ceiling of the gymnasium, while the two people inside did not receive serious injuries.
Jojima Inu stopped and said in a hushed voice, "I'm not worried about her."
"You're so cute, you say one thing and mean another." The player who couldn't get out was very bored and decisively chose to tease the puppy.
"What? You disgusting woman!" The dog, with mixed emotions, bared his teeth in dissatisfaction at the black-haired girl.
"Oh my, is it because my words touched your heart?" The player took out a fan and waved it, saying very comfortably, "Tsundere-style characters aren't that popular these days, dog boy."
The place was too small to start a fight, so the player and the dog bickered with each other, and the battle situation began to change.
