Second World

Chapter 282 - 282. Real Experts

Jack did not use his Disruptive Bomb against them. The first reason was because they were spread out as well, the same as the other guild members. The second reason was that he still had reservations about killing them, except for Warpath. Still, he could not go soft at this time, they could only blame themselves for joining the wrong guild. Jack just hoped they didn't push him too far.

Warpath came at him first. He used Charge and rushed towards him. Jack was about to clash with him before he suddenly canceled his Charge when it was about to connect. He abruptly changed position and swiped down at Jack's legs.

Jack must admit the guy was skillful, his fame in past VR games was not without reason. Unfortunately, Jack's speed outclassed him, and Jack was also not exactly illiterate when it came to martial arts. Jack easily reacted to his move as he jumped up and avoided the swipe. He spun his body and swung his longsword down vertically.

Warpath did not disgrace his fame, he used his off-hand sword to meet with Jack's one. But he had known full well about Jack's overwhelming strength, so instead of having his sword crashed directly with Jack's. He put it in an angle that it didn't compete with Jack's sword in brute strength, instead simply altered Jack's swing path. Jack's sword hit the ground instead, while Warpath used his main hand sword to stab at Jack while he was defenseless.

However, Jack also had an off-hand weapon. Although Jack did not have that kind of finesse technique as shown by Warpath, Jack's off-hand weapon was more versatile. A Magic Shield made out of light appeared at the trajectory of Warpath's sword, deflecting it. The shield then disappeared and was replaced by several bolts coming after him.

Warpath did a couple of backflips to evade the energy bolts spell. Some of the bolts still dogged him, which he cut several using the two swords in his hand. The ones that were cut by his off-hand swords still caused him damage as the damage from his off-hand weapon was not high enough to offset Jack's energy bolts.

While Warpath was busy dealing with his energy bolts, Jack had come running to his side, ready to give him Swing. But two Mana Bullets came at him while he was about to execute the move. Jack switched the angle of his Swing and instead of Warpath, it cut through the two Mana Bullets, destroying them.

Then he detected someone coming from behind him. It was Dasher who was trying to flank him. Jack made a swift spin and did a back kick. The spinning back kick swept Dasher's saber aside. The kid's strength was completely trumped by Jack. Dasher lost control of his arm as it flew aside from Jack's strong kick. Jack then slashed at him. The kid was a Fighter, he could survive two of Jack's normal attacks.

Jack was just thinking of giving the kid a scare, so he would not come at him again. But when Jack was doing his second slash, Warpath came and put himself in harm's way. He parried Jack's second slash and saved Dasher.

Huh? Jack was stumped. The guy was saving his comrade? Jack remembered him to be an arrogant and pompous player who held little respect for others. Who would think that he was selfless enough to save someone?

After saving Dasher, the kid moved back to drink a potion, while Warpath came running back at Jack again.

Jack changed his mind, he lost interest in killing Warpath. He took out a Magic Bind scroll and used it on the man, then kicked him away as he did to Slim Blade. If the guy persisted to come again at him, he would not spare him anymore.

Jack then ran to the other part, looking for other victims. Dasher, Flowerrain, and Undo dared not come after him without Warpath.

Jack sighed in his heart. He still ended up going soft on them. What could he do? He was a sucker for loyalty in friendship, he thought in his mind.

On the other part, he did not show the same mercy. His Disruptive Bombs came out again whenever any of his enemies got stupid enough to cluster together. While the ones that were too scared of his bomb and choose to stand aside in solitary were cut down by his sword. The rests were bombarded by his spells and range attacks.

He caught glimpses of the crimson shadow who was Slim Blade from time to time. The sneaky Rogue was free of Magic Bind and was tailing him again, but did not show any intention to attack. Probably was still afraid to get bound again. If she decided to attack, Jack would not let her go with a simple kick this time. Letting her go the first time could already be considered repayment for her favor from before, he mentally owed her nothing anymore.

He had used up 26 Disruptive Bombs, he had only nine left. He had killed a lot of players. Despite that, the crowd around him did not seem to be thinning.

Heck, how many are they exactly? Jack complained in his mind. He decided to go slow with his remaining Disruptive Bombs, might need them in an emergency situation. The enemies seemed a bit more reserve now, he had much more leeway to drink his potions freely.

Just as Jack thought he could relax for a bit, his radar picked up a red dot coming at him at high speed. Had Slim Blade finally gathered up the courage to attack him again? He thought as he spun around to receive the attack.

It was another Rogue woman, not Slim Blade. A slightly older woman than Slim Blade but looked to be physically fit, he could even describe her body as alluring for a woman her age. The Rogue woman was dual-wielding two unnaturally long daggers. Jack had no doubt the two daggers were at least uncommon if not of rare grade.

Jack used Swing at her, she ducked expertly and used Swift Stab at Jack's lower body, or more precisely aiming at his most private part. Jack was given the scare of his life, luckily his Magic Shield was on time to be activated and the blow was blocked. Even though this world follow game rules and his private part should be just fine after getting stabbed, he still was not keen on experiencing the pain of getting his pee-pee stabbed.

He used Inspect on the perverted woman. "F**k!" He couldn't help but cursed out loud after reading her alias. She named herself Lustful Ellie, and was a member of the guild Crowd of Sins.

Jack then heard a loud shout from his other side and was reactive enough to block a heavy blow using his Magic Shield which was still active. He was forced to backstep a few times from the force of the blow. He was surprised that someone could push him that way, and found that the person responsible was someone he knew. It was Goliath, The Real Man's right-hand man.

"We meet again," Goliath uttered. "I will restore my honor out of the shame you gave me last time."

"By ganging up on me?" Jack said. "That does not really sound like honor restoring type of thing."

"Don't waste your words on him!" Another voice came. Jack turned over and found another familiar face, it was Stonecleave from Death Associates.

Standing beside him were an Archer and another Warrior, Assistant Manager Ironhand and Supervisor Killmonger from Corporate United. There was also a slightly plump woman Mage, called Beauty Beholder from Gluttonous Despot. The woman was rather confident to have that alias, Jack couldn't help but think.

But it was the confidence of the girl next to her that made Jack speechless after reading her name. Jack had no doubt this teenage girl was somehow related to Queen Magenta, because her alias was Princess Purple. And she was also from Wicked Witches. She was using a Healer class.

Aside from them, several others were coming closer to Jack, all of them were of the advanced classes.

So, the real experts had finally shown up, eh? Jack thought.

Some of the experts that had attacked him before, the golden Knight, and the cautious Archer had also reappeared again. Perhaps they had finally shown themselves because they thought he had run out of his Disruptive Bombs? Oh, how they were in for a surprise, Jack thought as he smiled.

"You can still smile?" Bigarm came out from the crowd. "We will soon wipe out that smug smile from your face, don't you think you are so good just because you are able to fight us till this point!"

"What the hell! You are the only one still at a basic class here, why are you acting like a big shot?" Jack shot back. "And how do you even have the stomach to say 'just because'? How about we have all those people I killed, ganging up on you and see how you fare? Can you still be shameless enough to say 'just because'?"

"You…!" Bigarm's face was red with anger.
