Thriller Paradise

Silence, was due to surprise, due to fear, due to helplessness. This overwhelming speed caused the players to feel hopeless but eventually someone would react, for example, those who would never surrender in the face of overwhelming odds. With his innocence and passion, they would commit to their action without thinking of consequence.

"Pegasus…" Pegasus charged forward and aimed to use his skill again.

"Move out of the way!" This stern shout did not come from Quick Bell but Lying Drunk. He stomped on his feet, pushed forward a palm strike and blasted Pegasus away from his trajectory.

Ding

Gold bounced against steel, creating spark. During this spark of stone and lighting, Quick Bell's dagger already pierced on Lying Drunk's steel bracers. If Pegasus was not pushed away, the dagger would have punctured his heart already.

"Good, you're fast." Quick Bell looked at Lying Drunk. "Then… I'll slow down." His words might have sounded weird but when he put it into action, Lying Drunk instantly understood how scary this 'slow' could be. The dagger came at him at a much slower speed compared to before. Before the attack even reached him, Lying Drunk could feel the enormous force behind it. He could even see himself groaning on the ground…

"What is going on…" In Lying Drunk's eyes, the dagger became slower and slower until it practically stopped, but the pressure it gave off was ginormous like an arrow strung on a bow, ready to fire. If one was to make a comparison, Quick Bell's attack was like someone using a rubberband to hit others. The longer, the slower he pulled the band, then the fast the band would bounce from the gathered kinetic force… Only an expert like Lying Drunk could comprehend the danger within this move. As he expected, in a moment that was so short that it could barely be captured, Quick Bell's gathered momentum exploded.

The wind rushed and the icy glint moved! There was only six tingling sound. The 'slow' move flashed into six pierces. Six slashes appeared on Lying Drunk's iron arms.

"you managed to block them…" Quick Bell commented. From his perspective, Lying Drunk was very good already. Based on his calculation, the six pierces should leave six holes on the man's body and not six not so damaging cuts.

"Then how about two daggers." Quick Bell added. His second dagger had left the sheath. When facing an opponent much stronger than oneself, the weaker party would normally pay full attention so Lying Drunk had almost forgotten that… so far Quick Bell had only been using one hand.

Ding ding ding..

Another series of stinging like the shrills of a harp. The blades moved as fast as shadows and sparks flew. Even for arms made from steel, they could not suffer being cut heavily for more than hundreds times in such a short amount of time. After this series of attack, Lying Drunk was almost done. More than 10 ghastly gashes appeared on his body and his inner leg. He was unable to stop the man's quick daggers. Those attacks that aimed at his fatal organ, he could only block them using his body.

Suddenly, a light arrow coursed this way. This arrow was fast and soundless, aiming at the back of Quick Bell's waist.

Ding! Without turning around, Quick Bell spun the dagger behind him and deflected the blow. "Think the same trick will work twice?"

BANG!

Borderless Sniping came again. But this shot missed.

"Guns won't work on me." J1-Quick Bell had moved several metres away from where he was standing earlier. "Something like bullet cannot change its trajectory after being shot so I only need to move faster than it to avoid it."

Phew—

A shadow flickered past and King of Shadow appeared behind the man. He raised the shadow blade and plunged it downward… but again, it missed.

"Your ability to combine yourself with your summoned creature is indeed impressive." Quick Bell had moved again but his tone remained the same. "The black material possessing your right arm should be called Voice of Shadow, right… It can be turned into blade and can help you melt into your opponent's shadow and to help you teleport. That is not a bad summoning skill…" As he spoke, his body split into two. The two rushed towards, arced two different trails towards King of Shadow. This time, no one could react in time.

King of Shadow only felt a caress of the wind on his face. Then he lost sense of everything. He lowered his head rather blankly and noticed a X-shaped wound on his body.

"hah… I should have run…" That was his last words. The next second, his body was spliced into four parts, and crumbled to the ground. The blood and internal organ slowly flowed out… And Quick Bell rejoined into one at that moment.

"Get out the way!" Uncle Worthless finally shouted. By then, there was another thing by his feet… a rice cooker with the lid open. When Lying Drunk was tussling with Quick Bell, Uncle Worthless was preparing for this skull. Finally, he had completed his preparation.

Name: Mafuba

Skill Card Property: Unique ability, will disappear if the second exhaust condition is triggered

Skill Type: Sorcery

Effect: Trap and seal an opponent inside a small space (please prepare the vessel on your own and ensure that said vessel can be closed quickly)

Exhaust: All Sorcery Points or All Life Points (the skill will be successful either way)

Learning Requirement: Level >35, Sorcery unlocked.

Remark: Created by the legendary martial art master, Master Mutaito. It was used to trap Piccolo, a skill that is used to seal away evil energy that you cannot defeat with brute force.

As descriptive and as wordy as the fighting was, it only happened in 2 minutes. In these 2 minutes, Uncle Worthless wanted to charge forward to help several times but he held back. After some observation, he realized even if he cooperated with Lying Drunk, this was not a match they could win. Unless they could match Quick Bell in speed or else the number would not have mattered, if anything, they would disrupt each other. King of Shadow and the gang's effort proved this. When facing a person who was faster than bullet and stronger than Lying Drunk, the 10 of them were not enough. To win, they had to rely on 'skill'.

Therefore, Uncle Worthless used this skill that he planned to keep for ROOT—Mafuba.

This skill's description might look strange but it was actually easy to understand. The setting of Mafuba in Dragon Ball was: After the user uses this skill, the user will die. But there was exception like, Tien used this skill on Piccolo before but he did not die from it…

In Thriller Paradise, this skill was slightly altered. First, like what it said in the description, the skill would be successful no matter what. In other words, the success rate of this skill had nothing to do with mastery level. Secondly, the two exhaust conditions… all Life Points or Sorcery Points, it meant that two things would happen after you use this skill. First was naturally the exhaustion of Sorcery Points: and the second was the death of the player due to the lack of Life Points.

This was a skill that was a gamble. If this fell to Feng Bujue, then we would know the result, he probably could only use it once…

But Uncle Worthless had successfully used it once before and he triggered the first exhaust condition. He did not expect, he managed to successfully seal away a very powerful boss with this skill…

At this point, the readers should understand why Uncle Worthless would be so powerful as a freelance player… That was because inside the storage room of his log in lobby, there was a Boss-level NPC. The benefits that he could gain from that could not be surmised in one or two words.

We shall skip over that for now and return to the battle.

Uncle Worthless opened his feet wide, opened his shoulders and both of his arms and all of his fingers. A ball of green glow gathered around his arms. Then, a brash green lazer shot at J1-Quick Bell like a dragon.

"if I die, you have to remember to close the rice cooker shut!" Uncle Worthless shouted. "Since the body might not turn into white light, then neither will the item we carry, so take notice of that!"

But… before Uncle Worthless finished, J1-Quick Bell already appeared before him. "You're planning too much ahead."
