Chapter 864
"As It Was Before" frantically typed into the in-game chat. "Stop right there! If you dare lay a hand on my husband, I'll hunt you down!"
Every word showed her fierce devotion to Jack, making her feelings crystal clear.
However, in the ruthless world of online gaming, emotional threats meant nothing to a player like "Fanatic Prince". If anything, her declaration only thrilled him more.
"Fanatic Prince" sliced his weapon through the air, sending a flurry of shimmering blades in all directions.
Luckily, Jack's god-tier reflexes allowed him to dodge the onslaught with barely a sliver of health left. One hit away from death, but still standing. It was a miracle, honestly.
"As It Was Before" was overjoyed to see that Jack was still alive. She sprang into action, drawing her weapon and charging straight at "Fanatic Prince" to save Jack.
"Fanatic Prince" sneered. "I will grant your wish to die together. No one shall interfere. I'm taking out these lovebirds myself."
He drew his weapon and launched a frenzied assault on "As It Was Before".
She was well-geared but not in the same league as "Fanatic Prince", whose equipment was bought with sizable real-world cash. Even so, her skill was undeniable. She ducked and narrowly avoided blow after blow, enough to make "Fanatic Prince" look clumsy by comparison.
She also caught him off guard a couple of times and chipped away huge chunks of his health bar.
"Fanatic Prince" suddenly yelled at his team, "Seriously? What are you all standing around for? Get your asses over here and help me wipe these two out!"
He knew "As It Was Before" was formidable and was worried he might be humiliated in front of everyone. So, he tossed away his original solo challenge and demanded his squad to back him up.
The rest of his team exchanged confused glances, wondering why they were suddenly getting scolded.
Although the players grumbled inwardly at being scolded, none dared to talk back. They rushed over to swarm "As It Was Before" and Jack.
Against the opponents clad in top-tier gear, Jack's attacks were useless. The screen repeatedly flashed the word "miss".
Despite his skill, Jack was quickly overwhelmed by the relentless onslaught. Realizing he posed little threat, the attackers shifted their focus to "As It Was Before".
Though "As It Was Before" was skilled and well-equipped, she faced enemies whose gear outclassed hers and who had no sense of honor. Even she couldn't hold out forever. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ Find[ɴ]ovel.net
As her health dropped rapidly under the coordinated assault of two bulky players, Jack, acting on instinct, charged into the fray in a desperate attempt to save her. However, fe forgot this was a virtual world, and his equipment was far too inferior.
The moment Jack entered the center of battle, a blade slashed through him. Jack collapsed instantly.
Watching him fall, "As It Was
Before", who had been on the verge of losing control, suddenly exploded with fury. She tore after the player who had killed Jack, unleashing a storm of precise, ferocious moves: With flawless technique and a string of brilliant plays, she took him down in seconds.
At that moment, no one doubted what "As It Was Before" was capable of when
enraged. But the miracle didn't last.
Jack's screen didn't immediately shift to the respawn point. All he could do was watch helplessly as "As It Was Before" was surrounded. In the end, she was struck down by a devastating ultimate attack from "Fanatic Prince".
Still, the enemy paid a steep price as three of their own had fallen in the battle. And then, something happened that made Jack's blood run cold.
"Fanatic Prince" sneered and shouted, "Okay boys, strip off your gear and gather around the body bare-chested. You know what this is? This is a corpse violation.
"What's the matter, trash? You haven't respawned yet? Just sit there and watch while we mess with your woman. How does that feel? I love seeing the look of fury and powerlessness. It's perfect!"
