Death League 101: I'm Dead In 10 Minutes!-Chapter 59: “Midnight Hunting Spree (33): Manhunt”
The man whose long hair covered one of his eyes swung his scythe and a streak of silver light shot out of the scythe, heading straight to Leinster’s place across the corridor.
Leinster was happily arranging his stuff inside his shopping bag when his sixth sense rang dangerously and he subconsciously whipped his head around...
Only to see a silver, crescent-shaped gleam heading straight at his neck, so fast that Leinster only saw a flicker of white before the wind suddenly surged.
!!
Ahhh!
Leinster subconsciously twirled the red tongue robe around his body and blocked the incoming silver gleam just a split second before the gleam touched his neck.
Bang!
A loud noise of something colliding resounded throughout the corridor and the impact flung Leinster away by several meters.
"Ugh!"
Leinster fell to the ground and hit the floor with the back of his head, but his left hand was still holding the oil lamp tightly, not letting go even when his right hand that was holding the red tongue robe throbbed painfully.
Huft, thank God the oil lamp was still there...
Leinster subconsciously looked down to check his oil lamp, only to see...
The flame flickered and dimmed.
The next second, the flame completely died up with white smoke slowly rising into the lamp’s glass wall.
Leinster’s eyes widened in horror.
Fck!!
The area around Leinster was instantly swallowed by the darkness and countless invisible tentacles surged towards Leinster, instantly corroding the red tongue robe that was protecting him.
"Ahhhh!"
Leinster screamed in pain as he felt his exposed skin, mainly his face and palms melted with the speed of light, dissolving into nothingness.
"Leinster!!!"
Otomen Lover who saw this immediately bolted towards Leinster, so fast that she wouldn’t believe that her weak body would be able to run at that speed!
In less than a second, Otomen Lover threw herself and the oil lamp in her hand straight onto Leinster’s body, instantly illuminating the darkness.
The thing squirming in the dark touched the yellow light and immediately retreated without a trace, as if it had never existed.
By the time Leinster was once again illuminated by the light, half of his face had already corroded, blinding his left eye and melting half of his nose, even wounding his lips.
It was an even more gruesome scene than when he entered the Monster Office Ruin back then.
Upon seeing such a gruesome view, Otomen Lover suppressed the urge to vomit and urgently lit up the oil lamp in Leinster’s hand with her own flame.
Once she was done, Otomen Lover looked around vigilantly, aware that someone had attacked Leinster in the darkness and the wind was so strong that Leinster’s oil lamp that had withstood so many fierce winds actually died out.
Leinster himself felt that his imaginary HP bar that had been restored to half full, fell back to a dangerous line.
He could only see with his right eye, but even then, his vision was still churning, twisting violently with his sanity barely recovering by a few points, not enough to erase his hallucination.
This...this situation felt even more dangerous than before.
Leinster staggered and almost fell, but the red tongue robe around him fell first, instantly dissolving into a mess of red flesh.
The level four thing that had protected Leinster from countless attacks finally succumbed, utterly destroyed with no way to repair it.
Seeing the dissolving red tongue robe, Leinster’s heart clenched with pain.
Damn it. That attack just now must have come from someone with at least a level three ability.
Is there someone among the new challengers who has reached this level aside from him?
Or is it a veteran challenger who was at level four?
Leinster didn’t know, but he knew that the culprit was still lurking in the dark, accumulating energy for another attack.
No. This won’t do!
Leinster looked at the direction of the attack and saw a faint yellow light on the other side of his corridor.
That must be the attacker, there’s no mistake!
Leinster quickly asked his OmO system while leaning on Otomen Lover’s shoulder, slowly scurrying towards a nearby store to take cover.
The corridor was too open, with no way to hide.
[Hey, hey, recommend me a suitable offensive ability with my remaining emo points!]
He still didn’t forget his goal— to use up his excess emo points and absorbed 300 Fear Emo to disguise his whole body.
[OmO, OmO, you have 150 Love emo left, master!]
[Highly recommended— Death Wink!]
[Charm your target, wink at them— and boom! 100% death for those who are charmed and random injuries for those who aren’t charmed~ ]
[The instant death only works for targets of the same level.]
[Recommended to upgrade to level 3: add 50 more Emo points~ ]
This was the first time upgrading to a level 3 skill required 50 Emo, not just 20 or 30.
This Death Wink looked more formidable than the previous offensive skills?
Even the same-price Tear Cannon didn’t have such an expensive upgrade price.
[Deal! Buy it!]
Leinster didn’t hesitate to empty his entire Love Emo Gauge and the OmO system was happy to make another purchase.
[DING! Purchasing a level 3 Death Wink!]
[- 150 Love Emo]
A pink mist slowly rose from Leinster’s palm and made its way towards Leinster’s only intact eye.
Upon noticing this, Leinster paused for a second.
Um, if both of his eyes melted, wouldn’t he be unable to use this Death Wink skill?
After all, how could he even wink?
Leinster put aside his sudden intrusive thoughts and without any intention to charm his target whatsoever, he immediately winked towards the yellow light that was slowly walking on the other side of his corridor.
Eat this!
Death— wink!
Leinster winked awkwardly with one eye and a pink heart silhouette instantly shot out of his intact eye, flying straight towards the target with a strong momentum.
The man with a scythe was indeed saving his energy to do another attack, crouching down behind the corridor’s wall to hide from possible attacks when a bizarre pink heart suddenly pounced on him from the air.
Swoosh!
The man smoothly dodged the attack but the pink heart seemed to have eyes, keenly changing direction and still hitting the man’s body straight on the chest.
Bang!
The man felt his heart thumping loudly, as if it was about to explode, and then...
Blood erupted from his eyes, ears and nose.
Splat!
"Cough!"
The man spat out a mouthful of blood and simultaneously, Leinster received the OmO system’s notification.
DING! [The target has been hit! It randomly gave a 30% attack~]
Leinster couldn’t really see how injured the man was, but the audience who saw the man suddenly bleeding from his five orifices shrieked in shock.
[Your_wifey:
What the hell? What happened?? Why did my idol suddenly bleed like that??]
[Scythe’s Lover:
Damn it! That criminal bastard used some kind of strange skill!]
[Detective Conman:
Just what is Leinster’s ability? Isn’t it the "Father of Monster"? How did he keep conjuring strange skills out of thin air??]
Both people’s comment section descended into chaos with people from the scythe guy’s livestream rushing towards Leinster’s livestream...
And bombarded him with Death Votes, spending money like spilling water.
DING! DING! DING!
[Death votes...]
[Death votes...]
Leinster’s Death Votes surged unbearably to a shocking height—
3000 Death Votes!
No, it was now climbing to 4000!!
As if by coincidence, a loud sound suddenly echoed throughout the entire mall, heard by all challengers and native customers alike.
DONG...
